I'm 19, and i still go to my pediatrition. ( call me a baby but i havent found anyone good enough to replace her ) I was lucky to be comfortable enough with her to be able to bring it up... and it really gave me a will to get better. Talking is definately my defense mechanism against it all...

i took myself off of my depression medicine, and almost took things too far and started to act suicidal not too long ago, and everytime i clammed up about it, it always managed to get the best of me, but as soon as i spoke up.. it helped a little.
