Hi Geri -
Well, it sounds like you have a good plan: going hard for captain, talking to the counselor on the college tour. Those are both excellent things to focus on.If you do think you are suffering from depression, there are herbal products you can take that you buy at health food stores. Maybe you could research it on the internet and talk to your Mom about them. St. John's Wort is supposed to be very reliable and has been used for many, many years in Europe. You can't let yourself get so stressed that you become ill. My sister just went through something like that and she ended up in the hospital with dehydration!
Just remember: change the things you can, try to let go of the things you cannot and don't make judgments or decisions when you're upset! I'm really proud of you for how you're handling things. I understand about not wanting to talk to your sister. You have to make the decisions that are best for you and your family. I'm very glad you have a friend you can talk to - that's so important.
Hang in there sweetie, I'm glad you continue to write and keep us updated :-)
~ Lynne

i don't think how i feel or ourburst are due to my period, they happen so often. When i write here, i try to be calm about all of the situations. The thing is i have a lot going on in my head. On top of the way i feel i still am a teenage girl with the everyday problems. Boys, Friends, school, so on... I have acually been so stressed that i acually got sick. I couldn't keep my food down. It's all just a lot. Im trying to be calm and rational. i don't need or want another outburst. Cheerleading is starting up and that will be a headache all in its own, but i have been working my butt off for captain, i hope that i get it, i really think through everuthing, that well be a plus. I haven't talked to my sis, i would prefere not to at this moment. I don't want her to think i am crazy, you see my friend is bi polar, and she just found ouy, she didn't take it real well i don't wnat to worry her, i am her big sis, i want her to not be afraid to "bother" me with her problems, telling her how i feel might scare her. I have a friend who i am talking to about these situations. Im really trying hard to make things good, I am going away for three weeks in July to a collge. When i get there we will get assigned a councler there i think i might talk to him or her. Try to break the ice... i might be able to acually make a conection. We will see. I will keep you posted. no doubt about that. Thanks for all of your support!
