http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/kbkb9109 en-us girl, i recently had a problem a lot like yours. my parents are also divorced...except it happened to me when i was 4 years old. I kno it's hard thinking that they won't be together anymore, but i've learned to like it. You may feel like you haven't accomplished a lot in your life, or you're failing yourself...but these things are all just in your head. I'm positive that if you thought about your life...and all the things you have accomplished, you would be more than proud of yourself. A couple of months ago, my boyfriend of 1 year broke up with me on our 1 year anniversary and I found the reason to be that he was cheating on me...I was crushed. Because of this...it lead me into anerexia, depression, manic stress, ect. all just because of a few small things. I was also having problems with my stepdad who sometimes lets his anger get in the way of our family..if you know what i mean. But anyways...this isn't my life story...I just wanted to let you know that I have come out of all of this because of a very good friend of mine. Talking about stress and your problems with a close friend or relative often has proved to relieve stress and it takes a lot off your chest. Losing in a game or a challenge is always tough. You can handle losing two different ways in my perspective. 1. Get sad or angry and blame yourself. or 2. Remember that theres always next time to win. I'm not saying that you have to be happy or anything if you lose...but you've just got to remember that there is always another time for your turn to win. I'll give you more advice if you need it...best of luck...email me if you need more help. Love ya. ~Kelz kbkb9109 Wed, 03 May 2006 15:40:49 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/underneath_it_all_depressed 12576
