Besides FanFiction you mean? XD
 
I just finished Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. I love her. <3

This is only the second mall goodie to award 3 movement points. The first one was Hit Points and the last one I believe is either strength or defence. I'd have to check our guide to be sure though. Personally I'll take any stat increase they'll give for free, plus it comes with a free wearable and it's a nice one. So I'm definitely not going to complain.

I believe we should all get a bit of NC on our birthday's. =) Anyone else think this would be a nice surprise?
 
Although, they would never do it because so many people would abuse it. :(
 
Maybe on our NEOPET birthday? Like when our account ages 1 year, 2 year, ect?

The one who raped should take care of the baby? I hope you mean by funds. As, if they are capable of raping someone. I shudder to think of what else they are capable of.

I agree. It's an awful feeling, and I'm so sorry you have to experience it. Lots of people don't get that depression can be physical as well. Lots of people don't get it in general. My parents are always saying to me, "what reason do you have to be depressed? You're not starving." And it's just awful. Which is why I find it's important to have people that do understand. You can't help how you feel and if you didn't have to feel depressed, you wouldn't. It's not a choice like so many believe.
 
I'm glad I helped a bit. I'm always so unsure about being so honest online or trying to reach out to people. I'm not very good at it, but it really makes me feel happy that at least something I said helped. ^^
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for you as well. :D

I'm generally private unless I get to know someone.
 
I have lots of online friends on Skype, and a couple with whom we speak on voice chat a few times a week. But unless I know someone, they don't get access to my full name.
 
I have a real life facebook, and a separate one that I made for my writing friends. That's the one I have no problem giving out to others.
 
My Skype is available to everyone basically, but I'm still careful about what I say on there.
 
I have two online friends whom I'm closer to than any real life friends. One of them, he and I speak on voice chat for a few hours every day. I take my online relationships just as seriously as real life ones. I hope this doesn't make me super strange... Meh, who am I kidding? I don't care how strange I appear. :D

I understand the feeling of not wanting to start a new anti-depressant.
 
It's can be a little overwhelming. Okay, more than a little. It's frightening, but in the end I think it's worth the risk. I know what it feels like to be depressed, I struggle with it on a daily basis. I know how it feels to not want to wake up in the morning. I often find myself wishing that I could die without consequence, meaning no one would be affected by it. I think that's what stops me. It's awful, and I'm really sorry you feel this way.
 
I definitely think it's worth the risk, just try and keep it in mind. You're doing this for you. Obviously you want to get better if you're talking to someone and getting help. Maybe the side effects won't be great, but no one wants to feel so down. That's not living. And if it's too much for you, you stop taking it and talk about trying a new one.
 
I will say this. I don't even know you but I think you're an incredibly strong girl to be seeking help and giving this a try. You have my support and if you want to message me, I'd be more than willing to listen. I've been where you are, and on my bad days, I'm right back there again.
 
I can empathize with you, and sometimes people need to know they're not alone. As I said, you have my support. <3 Best of luck.

I'm sure you can do it!
 
And just for a quick update. I got distracted by exams but I'm now only 300k away! =D

There's no object or activity that comes to mind. But there is a person.
 
A friend of mine. There's no 'romantic' feelings involved but I still feel I couldn't live without him. There are no words to describe what we've been through together and every day, good or bad he's there. And when I'm struggling and I don't feel strong enough to keep going, he gives me some strength.
 
It sounds corny. But he's honestly the most amazing person I know.

I just reached 9.2 mil on Neopets. Which is so close to my first goal of 10 mil!
 
It feels the closer I get the longer it's taking. I'm just anxious to get there already. XP
 
If I keep up with Habi though I think I shall make it by Christmas! Hooray! I am so pleased. Yes, this is mostly to share my joy. It suddenly seems a lot more doable. =D
 
What about you guys? Are there are any goals you're close to reaching?
 
Edit: Oh pants. I just remembered I need to get a little extra for Christmas presents.
 
I normally manage about 60k a day from Habi. I used to leave it running when I went to sleep but with the new maintenance and such.

I've actually just started the show and JUST yesterday got to where Rose... goes.
 
And I haven't been able to go on yet. DX
 
I love the 9th Doctor. It makes me sad so many people skip him. DX

Hello! And welcome to TDN.
 
I also joined here when Neo was down. =D

It's been so long since I've been here.
Perhaps people don't even remember me.
 
But hello! I'm April.
 
I've returned. I kind of got distracted from Neopets as I got really into EggCave. Also I started University.
 
=D But I should be back and more active now, so huzzah!

Looks like I'm going to start off being back by talking about my disorders. But I like this thread, I do. I never tell people online what I deal with in my every day life, but it's been on my mind today so this is a perfect thread for me.
 
Major Depressive Disorder:I was diagnosed with this when I was 14. It's been with me ever since. For the most part, I learn to deal. But lately things have been rough. I think some of that may have to do with my having started University and getting out into the world.
 
Anxiety: I deal with a lot of this, and while it's clear I have anxiety, my doctor believes it to be linked in with my depression and my other disorders. I have problems with every day things. I had an anxiety attack about going to the grocery store today.
 
Aspergers: This is one I've never told anyone, aside from one friend, that I have. When my parents found out when I was younger, they actually began ignoring me. They didn't know how to deal with it. They even sent me to live elsewhere for a couple years. My mum can't handle it, even now. She tells me to 'get over it' when I struggle socially, or with anxiety or doing new things. Or when I just don't want to be around people. It's physically exhausting for me. I struggle socially, and often people take what I say the wrong way. I have a hard time understanding anything but a literal meaning behind words and I've never spoken about how it affects me before, and so while it affects me in a lot of ways, this is all I'm comfortable saying.
 
I'm actually thinking that I've said enough, and anyone in here that posted and was honest, good for you! This was very hard for me and I barely went into detail and left out a couple disorders.
 
You're all wonderful. <3

Hmm. Does this look too chaotic? (Ignoring my expensive tastes. XD)

People often say talking about suicide or whatever can not influence someone. I find this didn't happen with me, then again. I was younger when I first felt this way. When I watched suicide or heard people talk about suicide, I listened and took in all the information until I seriously considered doing so. Obviously the feeling was there all along, but it did help.
 
I remember being so worried about HOW to do that I went as far as searching 'Easiest Way to Kill yourself' and 'How to Kill Yourself Successfully.'
 
There are actually answers on the internet, and that's where I got my ideas.
 
 
Ah, see, you're looking at this from an outside perspective. Having been in the situation? It's a lot different. It's not that people that want to commit suicide want to die, they just want the pain to stop. And in my case, I was in a lot of pain. And dealing with depression? No matter how many times someone tells you they care, you can't believe it. Some bad things happened to me and I considered myself 'worthless' and that no one could care about someone like me.
 
I even cut myself, not where people could see though. I do believe people that cut where you can see are seeking attention, and you know what? Maybe they NEED the attention. But I didn't want it and I regret it greatly. I still have so many scars that I can never where shorts, or a bathing suit in public without feeling ashamed. (I did it on my thighs)
 
 
Although, things are different for me now. I no longer watch to accomplish this 'goal' as I called it. I went as far as making an attempt by taking over 50 tylenol. I thought it would work, it did not. And trust me, I paid for that foolish mistake.
 
I'm on the edge about suicide and opinions of it. Most people say that those that were bullied and killed themselves were 'weak.' Just because someone else isn't affected that way by being bullied doesn't mean others are. In my case, I have an anxiety disorder, depression which I'm on serious meds for and a bipolar disorder, which I am also on meds for. Combine those along with the other things that were going on.
 
I really wish I could help anyone that ever felt the way I did because it hurts. It really does. It's terrifying. You're afraid to live and afraid to die. In the end, where does that leave you? I'm happy my attempts were never successful. I remember taking the meds and then forcing myself to sleep. Hoping to never wake up. Doesn't work. Pills are painful... And I did wake up, which I am now happy for.
 
And sorry if relaying my own experience is 'morbid' or whatever. But I wanted to give insight from a suicidal person's perspective. (Though, I am not one any more, I still remember how it felt.)
 
Sorry this is so long but in grade seven, I remember I did want help and we had to do speeches, and I did mine on teenage suicide. Did you know by the time you have watched a movie that at least one teenager has killed themselves? It's definitely very sad. Any ways, I did write the speech addressing the warning signs as well in it hoping someone would notice that I wanted help. And you know what? Someone did. And he helped me. And that was the first step into healing.
 
I do want to bring this to the table, as I think it is important for everyone to be aware. http://www.suicide.o...ning-signs.html (The whole site, not just this page, has a lot of information)
 
I also do think if someone feels depressed, or even considers the option... It's important to talk to a therapist. I was so against the idea (why talk to someone that gets PAID to talk to me?) It does help though. You have no idea how much it's helped me.
