Start, i'd say if you're able to go see someone you probly should, personally for me therapists don't really help but if it works for you then go for it. As for meds, maybe try some homeopathic stuff? If it helps it usually doesn't have side affects or anything
And if you ever just wanna talk about it, we're all ears
I also think seeing someone couldn't hurt, although as Adam says, we're all ears. Well, eyes. Whatever.
I just came back from a party where almost all the first-years and a few second- and third-years in music hung out. 'Twas amusing despite my disdain for drunkenness and intoxication, although to be truly honest only one person was visibly drunk and a couple others were high. I do know there's another guy (other than my friend) who also doesn't abuse drugs too, so that's cool.
All the first-years (except for me and a friend) had the names of the instruments they are studying in written on their foreheads.
I had "Kazoo" (albeit in French: "Gazou") written on mine, lol. One of my friends had "Jew's Harp" subsequently written on his, inspired by my silly choice.
Wait, since when do you study music in college (or whatever it is)? Last i remembered you were into programming
Or did i just never pay attention? lol
I'm spoilering because I don't need to drag down the vibe.
Honestly I should probably just start smoking again :haha:.
Cigarettes are nice, but sometimes....
@Adam: Oh yeah, you wouldn't have been aware considering your hiatus of MTB. I finally got into music! So I'm no longer studying in computer science.
@Strat: I know what you mean. I sometimes wonder if my problems are really worth talking to others about (although I tend to vent a lot) in comparison to some other people's problems, and I also wonder if I'm a burden. My idea is that seeing a therapist it couldn't hurt, but ultimately, the choice is yours, and you know yourself better than I do.

I have no idea if therapists would work. I've never actually been to one. I'm not a person that's ever comfortable relying on others or talking about my issues because I always feel like I'll be putting a burden on other people. And I mean everyone's going through shit, I don't know why mine should be more important than theirs. I'd rather people come to me and talk about their problems because then maybe I can help them and for me that's all I really want to do, and that's one of the things that makes me happiest.
Well, when someone is paid to listen to problems (and help others deal with those problems), I don't think you can say you're putting a burden on them.

(it's meant as a hug)
Dude i totally get where you're coming from, i'm the same way. I tend to not talk about my problems because it makes me feel like i'm making others depressed/being a burden on their conscience because they can't really help
Therapists are paid to it though, so that's not my problem with them, and it shouldn't be for you too, but i just don't like them because.. eh... lets put it this way - therapists are like anal sex; if it was forced upon you as a child it wouldn't be very fun for you as an adult, now would it?
I really am thinking about it. We'll see how things play out though.
I know Sam, but it's just how I am :haha:. My friends tell me that all the time (or at least the ones that know what's going on) but it's just this.. almost a block I guess you could say. It's exactly what Joel said, I just never feel like they're important enough.
I dunno. I might, I might not, but I'm strongly leaning towards the "might"
Oh and guys for real though feel free to call me Jesse
i think i actually am going to stop posting everywhere but here for a while though
everywhere else gets kinda tedious
only reason I still go there is for the dudes in the FiM thread and the gaming thread.
Everywhere else can fuck off
But this place = best place, really.
