    • About Me

      My name is Devin, and I am good at standing up for people, plus I do it a lot, but only when I think it is right. I love going on the computer, and being on it in general. I have had a numerous amount of pets in the past, but at the moment I have 3 dogs.

    • Close Tourette Syndrome & Tic Disorders

      I have Tourettes Syndrome, and lots of tics with it. My tourettes is really hard to explain, and many people don't understand it, so they just don't believe me. I was diagnosed with it when I was 13, but my I think I have had it my whole life. I have gone to the hospital from it, because the doctor thought I was going to get a concussion from the head banging. If you want me to explain it to you I will try. And I LOVE questions!!!

    • Close Depression - Teen

      I get really depressed sometimes. All I want to do is die, and/or hurt myself. I'm working on trying not to cut anymore. I don't want to go to the hospital.

      Treatments

      Art Not Working
      I am not able to draw, it's not that I can't very well, I'M NOT ABLE TO. :( That factor makes me even more depressed.
      Music Working / Worked
      It gets my mind off of things sometimes.
      Pets Working / Worked
      It's nice to have pets that can cheer you up sometimes. But out of any other pet I have had, my dogs help me the most.
      Positive Thinking Too Soon to Tell
      I'm trying to do better positive thinking, but I forget and end up complaining. Sometimes I even complain that I don't do positive thinking well!
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Thank goodness I have my mom, I don't know where I would be without her. My friends also help me especially my friends on Dailystrength! I also have a DSD, which means Dailystrength Dad! He is very wise and can help out a lot even when I'm in a hole.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking sometimes helps. But helping other people, or laughing, never fails to work!
      Writing Working / Worked
      I very rarely write about sad things. But when I do it helps me, and also helps me explain it to others.
    • Open Teen Anxiety

      I have a ton of anxiety. I feel sick sometimes because of it. It makes me feel horrible, and do, feel, and think crazy things.

    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I was diagnosed when I was 13. OCD makes me do wierd things. For example, if I have a tic, it will make me do it 2 more times, so I will have done it 3 times. It makes me do things in odd numbers usually. Like if I'm looking at something, and I'm on page 14, it would make me go to page 15. It especially likes the numbers 1, 3, and 5.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Relative

      I lost both of my grandpa's, in bad deaths. And one grandma in another sad suffering death. I also just cry a lot. It helps me let out my feelings, even if I don't know what they are.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      I cry a lot for many reasons. Sometimes I can vent while crying which helps.

      Helping others with problems I have helps A LOT. I also do Relay for Life! Whoohoo!

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked

      I have given it years. Time helps, but can never erase the past.
    • Open High School Stress

      School is extremely stressful to me, with my "problems", or whatever you want to call them. Everyday seems stressful and hard for whatever reason it is. I used to cry a lot from it. I still do sometimes.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I go to therapy.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My mom is the most important person in my life! She has helped me a lot. My teachers usually help a lot too.
    • Open Weight Loss For Teens

      The medicines that I am on make me have a enormous appetite, and I nearly never get full unless I eat A LOT of food. It is very frustrating. I can wear the shirts I was to wear sometimes. I am now every other day doing 20 minutes running in front of the tv, the other days I do 20 of these "sit up kind of things." It is hard for me to get on a bike or any other kind of exercise thing because I always have tics to jump off or fall off. It's really hard to not eat when your hungry!

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Too Soon to Tell
      I'm trying to eat healthier...
    • Open Self-Injury

      I do a kind of SI that's different from most people. It doesn't sound bad at all, but it does hurt, and I am addicted. I do one of either three things, (so far). I either get a mechanical pencil, get the led partly out, than scratch myself with it until my skin comes up, gets warm, or gets puffed up and red. I also put a rubber band on myself and pull it then let go, so it smacks my arm. Or I rap a rubber band or string around my finger, toe, etc. until I that area gets purple.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Talking Working / Worked
      I mainly am stopping because I don't want to go to the hospital, and I don't want to get my mom upset.
    • Open Phobia

      I'm still scared of the dark, but it is getting a little bit better. I always try to have lights on. I even have lights on when I go to sleep. And I know it sounds funny, but I kind of scared of balloons. I'm not scared of "the balloons" in particular, but I'm scared when they pop. (More scared then just a screech).

      Treatments

      Acceptance Somewhat Helpful
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I don't usually like to talk about it. But if you really want to know, you can ask....

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Considering
      Sometimes I try to pray for him, for the chance that it will do something. It's hard though, because he keeps doing more bad things. (I would rather not say what they are).
      Leave Working / Worked
      I don't see him much anymore. Whoohoo!
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Talking Working / Worked
    • Open Bereavement - Teens

      I'm going through a lot, I have lost many pets, I'm having a lot of trouble with my tourettes, I'm trying to help my mom, while she tries to help me, I'm not going to list everything, because I would always be adding more.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      Pets Working / Worked
      Even though I have lost many pets, the pets I do have, help me sometimes. They always seem to be happy.
      Remembering Working / Worked
      I try to remember the good times.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I talk to my mom and friends on dailystrength about it.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I talk to my mom and friends on dailystrength about it. That helps. I also vent once in a while.
      Time Somewhat Helpful
      It helps somewhat. You don't think about the things as much, but they are always there and you can't erase them. And when new things come, it makes it harder.
    • Open Stress Management

      I struggle with a lot of stress. Everyday brings different problems, and I always have the problems that don't go away.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      I try my best, but sometimes my flood gates give way.
    • Open Pet Bereavement

      I used to have 4 dogs, in one year I was down to one. I have had many pets. And when including family pets I have had 3 ducks, 2 hermit crabs, 7 birds, 1 hamster, 2 guinea pigs, guinea pig babies (they were dead when I found them), 1 baby turtle that my mom found in the yard (he didn’t last too long), many minnows (I found them in a pond, they never lasted more than 2 days, I stopped keeping them), and the 3 dogs. The dogs where definitely the hardest to loose. I still cry about them.

    • Open Family Issues

      *Sigh.* It's a long long story. But to make it simple, my mom stayed with my dad for a long time. He emotionally hurt her a lot. When my dad started being abusive to my 2 brothers and I, she knew it was enough. They left each other, but never divorced or even separated. My mom is STILL trying to get a divorce, but my dad is trying anything to stop it, or make it worse for some reason. He has been and still can be really horrible.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked

      It really helps me to help other people with their loneliness. I dont feel as lonely and then I feel like Ive helped someone which makes me feel even better.
    • Open Accidents

      I have been in a car crash, and I get really nervous in cars sometimes. I also am constantly spraining my ankles and other joints. I have been on crutches once also.

    • Open Depression Supporters

      I have depression pretty bad sometimes, and I enjoy helping/supporting others.

      Treatments
