Hi there! Anyone would be fine really, but I would really like some advice! My question didn’t fit in the ask. So, for quite a while my sleep has been horrible and so has my emotional state with negative thoughts. I realized this, and did research. I came upon depression, and I took a look to see I had all of the symptoms. I wasn’t too sure till I took a lot of Depression quizzes and I’m convinced, but not 100% as I know not all quizzes are accurate. All of the quizzes said I had horrible, severe depression and I should get help. Is there anyway for me to know if I have depression without getting a doctor’s help? As much as I would like to know, to get a doctor’s help, I would have to tell my family. This would put more stress on them and they would restrain me to do things I would like such as seeing my friends afterschool. And they aren’t the most understanding family. Is there anything I can do? Please and thank you.

TG: sounds like ur in a really rough spot, anon! TG: im sorry to hear you feel depressed TG: i know lots of people who have been there, so i can tell you secondhand it suuuuuuucks TG: unfortunately, its a lil hard to get a solid diagnosis or treatment without parental permission TG: a lot of times, doctors will want to put you on antidepressants or other medication...and you need ur parents permission for any of that TG: the one thing i would suggest is maybe talking to your parents to get a therapist, without telling them solidly why TG: that way, you can get another adult supporting you that you can go to with questions!! plus they can help you communicate ur worries to ur parents in a safe and controlled way TG: but i get that thats not always possible, so i came up with a couple things you can do purely on your own!

TG: there are a lot of “natural” antidepressants out there TG: to name a few, theres exercise, animals, hobbies, et cetra TG: these things are all called “coping” TG: everybdoy copes, but ppl with depression often times need more strategies to cope to distract themselves TG: some of my favorites are writing and dancing!! TG: writing lets me get all my feelins out and dancing lets me get all my energy out! its a win-win TG: all u gotta do is think of a few of ur own favorite things to do! TG: once u have come up a few ideas, start to make a list TG: you can put it in ur computer, somewhere in ur room, idc TG: but somewhere u will remember TG: and every time you think of a new coping strategy TG: just add it to the list! TG: that way, when ur feeling down and cant think of anything to do because ur brain has blocked u from thinking of anything TG: u can pull out ur handy dandy list and find something that will distract and occupy you!

TG: to address ur sleeping problem, there are also a lot of things you can do at home TG: the best thing u can do is get ur body set on a clock TG: it may seem a lil chidish, but making sure u go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time everyday can do wonders for ur sleeping habits TG: even if ur not asleep, just the action of laying in bed for a certain number of hours every night will surely make a difference in how you sleep TG: before bed, try not to do things that stimulate ur brain too much TG: things like watching tv and reading are okay if you really RELALY need something TG: but i wouldnt suggest blogging before bed or writing or anything that involves you actually DOING something other than taking in info TG: but, if u can avoid it, try to simply let everything go when its time for bed and just close ur eyes and just lie there TG: i know its hard and ur thoughts can get loud sometimes but TG: if u focus on allowing whatever thoughts that come into ur head to happen and just let them be, youll start to notice a difference TG: and hopefully, youll start to get sleepy!!

TG: none of this is replacement for a professionals help TG: but if youre not comfortable with getting that, there are definitely lots of things you can do TG: i hope i helped you some, anon!! TG: and i hope you feel better soon <3

Hey KK could you use what you've learned about human friendship to help? Recently I started talking to someone on the Internet and I can't help but feel like I'm being annoying. Sometimes it's hard to talk to people if you can't get physical cues ya know?

Did you delete all auditions too?

Nope! However, auditioners will need to send us an ask in order for us to consider their auditions as there is a high possibility that they could have lost interest.

Thanks!

[positivestuck]

Positivestuck Reboot!

Hey friends and followers! This is Admin Sam announcing that the ask box has been cleared. With the unnanounced hiatus we took, we had many asks that were far too old to be relevant anymore, so my executive decision was to completely clear the inbox.

We are very sorry if anyone was still waiting for their answer; please feel free to re-send any asks you want us to respond to.

That being said, our cast is going to be renewed (as in people who are no longer interested in being a part of our team can leave) and we will be back to business relatively soon.

Please be patient and stay tuned!

TT: Hello, there.TT: The first thing you need to do is take a deep breath.  Unfortunately, I do not know of your specific situation, but I do know that you need to logically assess your situation and not hurt yourself.TT: While your former friends may have been aware of your suicidal thoughts or behaviors, that does not require them to continue to be nice to you or continue to be your companion.TT: The fact of the matter is, if they are so eager to discard you, they were probably not the friends you needed at this point in your life anyway.TT: Things may seem very difficult right now, but I promise that I believe you have the strength to get through any rough patch that life presents you with.TT: In the meantime, I recommend you speak to a trusted adult - a sibling, parent, grandparent, neighbor - anyone who would be willing to assist you right this moment.TT: There are several resources online and over the phone which will provide you with people willing to aid you - such as crisischat.org or 1-800-SUICIDE.TT: Your life is valuable and important, and please don't allow those who don't appreciate you to lead you to ending it.TT: I believe in your ability to push forward and make it through this rough time.TT: And in the words of my brother, who unfortunately did not have the means to reply as quickly as I did,TT: "life is dope and so are you".TT: Good luck.

Hey so i don't know if you remember but I'm the anon that asked dirk about the guy I like dating this chick I hate. I just found out he likes me back, but he doesn't want to dump the chick he's dating even though he doesn't really like her anymore and she doesn't really like him. Could Dirk give me some advice on the matter again please?

TT: Welcome back.

TT: If the two don't really like each other, talk to him about. Ask subtle questions and see if the two of you can come down to a decision on where he'll break up with her and get with you.

TT: I find it really great that he does like you back, and I'm glad you took my previous advice and waited it out to see what would become of the other two. Two thumbs-up for you.

TT: If the first option doesn't work with asking him to just dump her, maybe go to the girl herself. Ask her how she's doing, blah blah, and then ask if she has a significant other. At this point, she should say yes and be iffy about it, and then give her some of your own advice on how to break up with him for her.

TT: If none of these work, go with your gut feeling, again, and do your best. Some things just might now work out and that's completely okay. Don't feel like it's your fault that something went wrong because this is life and people make a shit ton'a mistakes. Just try again if all else fails.

TT: Good luck.

Hi, this is for Nepeta. I'm thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend because I feel like he takes our relationship to be purely sexual. Whenever he says he wants 'to talk', he only means he wants to make out. Even when we go on dates he just wants to try and make everything sexual. I can't have a normal conversation with him unless it involves him grabbing my chest. I don't know what to do, or what to say to him. Please help...

ArsenicCatnip began trolling you.

AC: :33 < wow...

AC: :33 < that is really NOT OKAY!!! >:((

AC: :33 < im so sorry you got someone like that for your matesprit

AC: :33 < if youre not comfurtable with the sort of relationship you have and cant get a word in about your discomfurt, then i say do it!

AC: :33 < if he cant respect your wishes, hes already showing that hes not a good purrson to have as a matesprit

AC: :33 < also, i believe that on earth touching you like that without your consent counts as sexual assault

AC: :33 < and no one n33ds to stick around with someone whos constantly violating them

AC: :33 < heres what i think you should do:

AC: :33 < find a safe and quiet place with lots of people in sight and take your matesprit there

AC: :33 < it also might be good to let a few close friends know and k33p an eye on the situation from a distance so they can get help if they n33d to

AC: :33 < tell him how objectified you f33l by the fact that he only wants sexual things and does not care about you as a person

AC: :33 < make it clear that you cant take it anymore and that if he cant control his concupiscent desires, you are ending things right then and there

AC: :33 < if he really cares about you, then he will go to the effurt to change and win you back eventually as a new purrson

AC: :33 < but if hes in denial and refuses to acknowledge hes doing anything wrong, then its time to furget about him

AC: :33 < beclaws you deserve better than that! :33

AC: :33 < dont ever furget that you are more than just your body, and that a healthy and happy relationship is more than just sex

AC: :33 < a relationship with no real communication or emotional connection is no relationship at all

AC: :33 < but dont worry!

AC: :33 < there are lots of good people in the world, so take this as the purrfect oppurrtunity to find someone who really cares about you and respects your wishes

AC: :33 < good luck!

AC: :33 < i believe in you, anon!!! :DD
