Perhaps you could start by talking to a counselor at school if you are comfortable with that.

I wish I could, but as of now a new semester is starting and the counselors are literally swamped with scores of people trying to change classes and what not. Besides, the so called "counselors" hardly seem like counselors and more like secretaries who change classes and review transcripts but that's it.

When I was a bit younger than you and finally figured out i needed some help, I spoke to my family doctor during one of my visits for a routine physical. He is bound by confidentiality so you don't have to worry about that. If you don't go out much, could you call your doctor?

More regret on my part...a while ago I had a routine checkup with my doctor. He even asked my mom to step outside and then asked me directly if I was feeling depressed at all. I said no...why'd I do that? ****?! Anyways maybe that'd work, now I just need to find his number...

It is scary to take that first step; yet when you hit upon the right confidant things become so much easier. A burden shared is a burden halved. All it takes is to take the first step. This will take courage; so may God give you the strength!

Thank you Skyliner, I'm gonna need that strength and courage. Guess sometimes it takes a bigger man to admit defeat then keep on going till he drops dead.

Hi Monsieur,
I don't have any great answers for you I am sorry to say, but your post did strike a cord with me because I told my therapist recently that I feel 12 years old a LOT. So now we are going to have to talk about that, although I said "I don't want to"...which he said is a very childlike response, ha.
Anyway, I hope that you are able to find the right person to talk to. The first step is just trying! I just wanted to let you know that are not alone in still feeling 12, and I am tired of it, too...

Thanks Tractionbeam, guess we've got some inner growing up to do on our part...
Oh how I'd love to be normal for once...
