if you don't want to display your problems just pick someone from the list and send a message to them
obviously though more people with different experiences can give advice if you post it
anyone who wants to help people or give advice just add your name to this forum and if you have any particular experiance with a certain type of problem put that too
if you've read my second soapbox on here you'll know that my particular experiance is dealing with something medical but i could also be of help with anything from parents to ex boyfriends
I would be happy to listen to anyone who has something they need to talk about. I am on almost all the time. I am a 23 year old mother of 2. I have been in about every dating, pregnancy, and marriage situation you can imagine (really). I also have experience ith depression and ADHD. Also death of family members. So if you want to talk I am your woman!
I'll help..so:
* i am a trained hairdresser...(before you ask: never bleach your hair at home!)
* my little private area of expertise is sibling relationships/ family drama
* my weakness is that i sometimes cant help being a tad sarcastic..please keep in mind that its never meant to be offensive :)
I want to help.
-I work with teen problems a lot.
-I have experience with depression
-I have dealt with every sort of family problem in existence.
-Bullying is my own arena.
I listen well (so i'm told). When i was at boarding school i was the person my friends came to with problems. And there were a fair few of those let me tell you, with it being a performing arts school the term 'drama queen' applied to most of us :)
Also if anyone is going through exam stress or anything, i can totally relate, its giving me hell :)
I'd love to help out. I'm 23, and I've always opened myself to other's problems.
I helped a friend through some difficult times when she left home, lost her self esteem, and started threatening suicide (not all at once!). I helped her through Uni, and last week she bought a house and couldn't be happier now.
I often help people who are stuck in a rut, or feel there's no hope, but I am always there to listen and give advice if needed, whatever the reason.
I'm only 14, but I've experienced some stuff, so if someone younger-ish had a problem, I might be able to help. Or someone older, but then I can't guarantee I'd be able to do anything.
I would love to help. I'm nineteen years old and I have dealt with some interesting issues
My specialties include:
Eating disorders (particularly in males, but also in females) (F)
Cutting (F/S)
Alcoholism (F)
Sexual identity issues (S/F)
Self-confidence issues (F)
Feelings of loneliness (S)
Moving and/or getting left behind by a friend who is moving (S-- this is a big one for me)
Various dilemmas with best friends (S/F)
(S means I've experienced it. F means it happened to a good friend of mine who I helped through it.)
I'm fairly open about my life here on fanpop. Here I'm an open bisexual when it's not so open in real life. It's often easier to speak to a stranger about issues like these.
I would love to help!
I'm only thirteen but I think I could help with problems about:
-friendship (friends turning their backs on you etc)
-Bullying or spiteful comments
-Moral dilemmas
-Low self esteem
Or basically if you want to talk or complain about anything really I don't mind. It always helps to talk about stuff even if it's just petty. Like everyone, I pretty much have had a whole ton of petty problems in my life anyway ;)
i have/am dealing with all the above so if anyone has problems in this kind of area, i know were there coming from =]
im here and i will talk till the cows come home if anyone needs me.
p.s i also have a large hairy birth mark on my left arm, big enough for me to to get picked on when i was younger, its about as big as two dinner plates (stange annalogy i know but hey icant think of anything better) if anyone has any conserns about anything similar just write me, iv gone through it. (ill put a pic up for anyone intrested at what it looks like)
*Eating disorders - My sister and friend both suffered from bulemia and would like to help to ease anyone's pain.
*DID/MPD (Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiple Personality Disorder)- I have a close family friend with this disorder. My mother also knows someone else with this problem and I would like to provide any support I can.
*Depression- I have family members who have had this issue, as well as having small bouts of it that I have fought through.
*Self-esteem - Many friends who have this problem, as well as a small problem myself. But I can help with confidence a lot, as mine has increased quite a deal these past years.
*Religion issues/religious discrimination- I have attended church all my life and have had my fair share of doubts and concerns, as well as hearing others' trials in the gospel. I have also been persecuted for my beliefs... not severely, but enough so that I know how it feels. And it hurts.
*Moving/making friends- I've moved 3 times in the past 9 years, and will probably make another move in the next year or so... so this is one I have lots of experience with. Also, The school I attend currently is also filled with people from all over the world who have moved multiple times in their lives.
*Family issues
*Motivation/Indecision- I have the hardest time making decisions and actually feeling like doing anything. I'm actually working on overcoming this at the present moment. (I think the picks on fanpop are helping, guys! haha ;D)
*Lack of emotions and liveliness- I'm not sure how much of a problem this is... but uhhh... I'm emotionless quite a bit. I rarely cry, get angry or show emotions. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes it feels good to release these repressed emotions and laugh a little more.
I would love to help in any way, even if it's not related to any of the above. It's my goal to make a difference in the world and in other people, so I want to help in any way I can. I've never met a person I didn't like, and always seek for good qualities in others, so you don't have to worry about me judging you. :D
I also know how difficult it is to turn to others for help sometimes. I struggle with it, and can only think of one or two times where I have done it myself. But trust me, it helps and releases a lot of the burden.
Holy Kanoley! Sorry I wrote so much! *smiles guiltily*
I'm 19, I'll listen to any problem without judging and try to help. :)
I'm probably better with issues on:
- friendship
- dating
- family (especially sibling problems)
i will listen to wat ever u want to say. u can just talk to me and ill listen even if u dont need advice its good to get all that stuff out. so leave me a message or email me and i will help. no problem is too big
I would love to help, but being the only actual trained Shrink here it would possibly open me up to lawsuits, as well as Fanpop.
To those offering help:
DO NOT ever, never, at no time suggest to anyone a concrete course of action. Listen to them and let them figure it out themselves. More often than not a person seeking advice really does not need advice, just confirmation of a decision they have really already made...
Where depression is concerned - know when it is time to distance yourself from the situation. That is a VERY very verrrrry tricky wicket... advise them to seek a counselor in their city.
I would like to help also! Give advise or just listen...
I really think it's great that so many people offer there help! I think that it really helps to talk to someone you don't know and ask for advise
Honestly I could use some help myself, but I feel kind of weird just sending one of you a message...i don't know.., but it's good for the people who do!
- Studied psychology 4 2yrs so I know about depression etc to the medication related 2 it
- I knw abt drugs and alcohol - how 2 quit and 2 stop being dependant
- Ive given advice often so I can say Im gud at it :)
If ne1 needs 2 talk, Im here :) ALL of it will stay confidential.
Pink - 2 yrs of Psych does not make you informed enough... it means you just enough to be dangerous. There is no way in hell you know enough to counsel someone about psychotropics.
I didnt say I was informed 2 a professional extent.. yet.
Wat I meant by medication related 2 it was alota ppl tke alota stuff. & I'd discourage tht. Im not here 2 give medicinal advice at all.
Drdev - u cud have said all tht alot more politely. Dnt assume. ASK wat I mean if wat I say confuses u. :)
