    • About Me

      I just turned 16 years old. When i was 14 I suffered a severe eye injury while playing floor hockey. Since then i have lost three quarters of my sight. Since all i used to mainly do was sports (and now thats difficult) I spend most of my spare time playing guitar and singing. I loged onto this site because i think i am finaly going to accept that a little life guidance wouldn't hurt. And venting is always good too.

    • Close Blindness & Visual Impairment
      Type: Legally Blind

      When i was 14 years old, (almost 2 years ago) I got into a serious eye injury during floor hockey at school. A broken hockey stick hit my left eye causing nerve damage. The hit trigered a desease wich spread into my right eye. I went through lots of treatments to stop it from continuing and making me go compleatly blind. Thankfuly i am only three quarters blind. Although i feel grateful for that there it is still hard living with and addapting to my new condition.

    • Close Depression

      Sometimes i just wish i could walk around with a sign that says "help me i'm lost. I fell into this empty whole and i can't get my self back up!" cause i really do feel that way most of time. I have finaly come to admit that i do have a problem, that i do need help. I just can't say it. Thats why i joined this group, for help, and to be able to talk about it.

      Paxil Too Soon to Tell

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      I have seen two diferent psychiatrist and all they do is refer me to others. My home town does not have any psychiatrists that will see anyone younger then 18 so it is expensive to go out of town all the time.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Family and friends are there, but every time they offer to help i just get frustrated because they dont understand me. Most of the time though, i feel embarassed.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I have always written in a journal, and i write many songs also with my guitar, but lately i cant even motivate myself to write.

      They give me advice on how to deal.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I think its always best to not bottle it all up inside. Although i find it extremely hard to open up or talk about it at all, i always want to so when i get to it helps.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I find it is really stress releaving. It helps alot. When i feel like im about to break down i go for a run or do yoga or something and i feel so much better.

      me and my sister both suffered horrible experiences. My sister is out of highschool now, but her offenders little brother still goes to my school. Its hard to deal with that.

    • Open Insomnia

      Couple weeks after my eye accident i developed sleep insomnaia. Its crazy to deal with and none of my friends understand. If i ever do actualy fall asleep, i wake up either because of nightmares, paranoia (any sound i hear i wake up) because i get anxiety and/or panic attacks during the night... And well sometimes just because.

      Treatments

      Ativan Considering

      I take antidepressants about an hour before i go to bed. These pills ease my mind and also make me more drowsy
    • Open Families & Friends Affected By Suicide

      2 friends of mine killed themselves 2 years ago. The first one had done it while he was on Hash and a party that i was at. I really don't like drugs so i decided to leave. I've felt guilty ever since. I left and i was the only one who wasn't on drugs... I could have probably stoped him. My second friend killed himself a few months later. He was good friends with the first guy, and took it really hard. His gf dumped him and then all of the sudden without warning he killed himself.

    • Open Alcoholism

      Just started using it for all the wrong reasons. More of a way of feeling better and a way of life rather than an addiction.
