Yeah- it really suck when you get them, doesn´t it- but that´s the way life is I guess... Those not to nice scarings aren´t much to do about (except the laser thing you where talking about). Also hear that cocoa butter should reduce it- but I think you have to apply it while it´s happening. There are a "St. Ives" lotion that is said to minimize scares and bleach them- but I´m not sure you can get it over there.

Yes I tried them and I can't see any change, honestly.  For deficiencies vitamins are fine--I take them myself.  But they don't do much of anything to such complex issues like OCD/mood/depression.  Try Lyrica.  It is great for all the above.  I swear by it.  Talk to your doctor.

This woman on the London Underground just undid her top and sensually massaged oil into her chest for like five minutes, with a look of silent ecstacy on her face whilst I did my best to ignore her, and all the guys in the carriage craned for a better look.  She then did up her shirt, put her oil back in her bag, and sat like a perfectly civilised person for the rest of the journey.  This was in December by the way - it was by no means warm out.\n\nI work in Superdrug and this guy walked up to my mate and said very aggressively - "what you staring at???!"She flinched and he smiled and said "Just kidding, were's the toothpaste?"\nShe was a little alarmed.\n\nAlso at Superdrug this woman came in and asked for "bum deodorant."  I calmly explained that we do not cell such a thing, and asked her if she meant deodorant for feminine hygiene, but she was insistent it was bum deodorant.  I told her I was certain that was not an item we could provide her with and left her to her own devices.  About ten minutes later she approached me with a regular roll-on deodorant in her hand, the type you twist to open.  She proudly proclaimed that she had found it and this was her usual brand.  When I continued to look at her in utter beweilderment she kindly shared with me the label, which read, "to use, twist at bottom".\nSuperdrug never fails to amaze me...

Hello there! I am sorry to hear you are feeling so down. People are so quick to say someone has depression. You say that you act like you are the happiest person on earth, but you aren't happy on the inside. You just have to believe that you do deserve happiness! I believe that you just have low self-esteem and self worth. 17 is a hard age! Believe me...looking back I felt the same way and wondered what the heck was wrong with myself. Just the pressures nowadays that are being put on young people is enough to make someone want to give up! I know to be happy is easier said than done sometimes, and it is a lot of work sometimes. Once you start believing in yourself it will get more simple. Life is too short not to have fun--experience life. I am not saying go out there and do foolish things, but enjoy the silly stuff. I am an adult and I still like to go to toy stores and play with the puppets! Because it makes me happy. I am not here to make anyone happy but myself. It sounds selfish, but before we can help others, we have to help ourselves. Just the fact that you asked the question on here shows that you are ready and willing to make a change for yourself. I have done a lot of "stupid" things in my life, but I have learned that loved ones are there for you no matter what you do. If people really love you, they are there for you no matter what! You can make little changes in your life. Use positive affirmation..when you start to feel those thoughts of hopelessness creep in--say to yourself that you are not listening anymore. If you are still feeling beyond hopelessness, there are many people you can go to to talk about it. It is not a sign of weakness to ask for some help and guidance. It is you standing up and saying you are sick of being that way and taking control of your life. I wish you luck and hope that I helped a little! Take care!

It has been known to help although theres not many studies that have been done on it and it can differ from person to person depending on what form of depression and whether you are taking medication or not.\nBest of luck though.

Anti-depressant medications work like SSRIs.  Probably cognitive and behavioral therapy are used too.

My boyfriend tried hoodia.  he spent a lot of money.  he took it for maybe a month.  it did not work.  he did not lose any weight.  it's just like every other gimmick.  i don't know if it suppresses your appetite but he gave up on it because it wasn't working.  there is no magic bullet.  you have to eat fewer calories.  honestly exercise did not work for me.  i had to eat less.  a lot less.  i lost 80 lbs that way.

There are natural herbal supplements out ther that will help with mood stings and emotions. Vitex is the best one that I know of. I use it!

Many people feel this way.  First you might try to find out what is depressing you?  (Harder than it sounds)  Why aren't you happy?  I happen to be a person that loves change, and when I'm not getting change (at least every once in a while), I get very unhappy and depressed.  Medications don't always help...I tried them once...didn't work!  It's good that you have a boyfriend who is supportive...that's very important.  Having someone there to support you is something a lot of depressed people don't have.  If you'd like to talk details, feel free to contact me; I'd be happy to help with anything I can.

Yes...and know of others who did as well...the stuff is handed out like candy, we all want a quick fix, or to believe we are messed up and need help... but really, we need our loving friends and family, physical activity, creative outlets (journalling, art, ) and maybe sharing with others in a supportive setting. You are not alone here! I never went higher than the 34.5 starter dose, experienced panic attacks, more anxiety and irrational thinking than ever...I just realized I needed to accept whatever apin I was going through, grieve, weep, heal and move on. I tossed the stuff and went to a homeopath instead...and keep active! Natural endorphins will get you through in the end...best wishes.

Every person reacts differently to antidepressants. My friend is happy as ever on Zoloft, but it made me suicidally depressed. The only thing to do is keep trying until you find a medication that works for you.

tanning wont really help. i have the same type of problem and its because its hereditary PLUS i have sinus/allergy issues that contribute. cosmetic surgery is out there but not the best idea, in my opinion. cucumbers work a bit especially with any puffiness, as does sleeping well! if all else fails, yup, makeup is always a quick fix

what do you do as a job? i found that i had to change my attitude in a lot of different areas of my life. i don't know exactly what i'd suggest for you since i'm not sure what type of work you do. are you religious at all? that is something i got away from and i found myself sinking deeper and deeper into anger and despair. have you talked to your doctor about it? i have had to stay on an antidepressant. my family has a history of depression. sometimes we just have chemicals in our brains that are out of whack. it is hard to deal with life if your brain isn't working properly. i have made myself always look on the bright side. i dont' know you, but as a starter, you can be happy that you have a roof over your head and at least some type of employment. i honestly know how you feel. please don't consider killing yourself. i don't know how many times i made passive/aggressive attempts to harm myself. i was wreckless and i did not care at all. it's an awful feeling. i really suggest you talk to a doctor. psychological sickness is the same as physical sickness. some people do not understand that. there are methods to heal yourself. please talk to someone. i'll say a prayer for you.

Oh yeah there are alot of things you can do to help. First off i can name a dozen vitamins and supplements to help:\n5-Hydroxytrytophan\nS-adenosylmethionine\nB- complex vitamins\nZinc\nCalcium and magnesium( together the magnesium helps the calcium work.)\nAlso eat a diet rich in raw fruits & vegetables, and whole grains, seeds, brown rice etc. Diets that are two low in complex carbs can deplete serotonin\nDont eat too much saturated fat\nSunlight may help if you dont get depressed all the time( like if its seasonal)\ntry to avoid sugars even honey and naturally sweet sugars\nAvoid wheat products\nI could go on for a while with this but hopefully you have a pretty good idea of what to do. also try execising it will help boost your self esteem

I though it was working great ... my "Ex" was a freak on the nature stuff ... he was really old, and used lots of products ... anyways, he went to Asia, came back all wrinkly ... I don't know if he stopped using the D.M.A.E stuff or if it stopped working ... but check out Dr. Perricone ... this person who is an expert on the stuff ...
