Alright... I'm one of those weird people who lurks in LI and gives advice. (Gee, what a shock finding me here..) And I'm going to assume that since this is an advice guild, there's more people who give advice and stuff like that. There's a lot of things that are very commonly found in LI, so I thought that maybe we could discuss some possible solutions here to enhance our advice-giving ability.

So, here are a few topics I've come up with..
~Depression
~Cutting
~Eating disorders
~Parental Issues

Feel free to discuss anything else.
I hope this works.. and I don't end up looking really stupid.. redface

Ok this might not be off topic but worse comes to worse the topic gets moved *shrug* lol

Depression: Well there's not much us here in the group can help with except lend an ear to listen to you. The best person TO see is a doctor... with a degree... a fancy smancy office... and nice teeth. He can give you anti-depressants etc etc ^w^

Cuttin: super bad habit. Try not to. Try maybe finding something ELSE to relieve your pain instead of cutting yourself. Like listening to music, drawing, writing etc etc.

Eating Disorders: Just as I had said about depression we guildies can't help much with this. But we CAN listen to you and such. Whom you MUST see is a doctor.

Parental Issues: Well everyone has them, they are common. If your parents are hitting you, or abusing you in ANY way call childrens aid or something. And seek help. If they simply IRK you and bug you so much you can't stand to be around them. Try going out more, or locking yourself up in your room more. Make yourself busy.

I wouldn't consider this thread off topic or anything, but that is just my opinion.

Anyway, I am considering making a bipolar FAQ thread in the Sociology/Psych forum of ED to try and have information for people (and to help with some of the misinformation people have.

There is also a very good topic by Noraboo in the same forum regarding cutting. I believe it has some tips on how to stop cutting, although I would have to double check.

I will write more when I think of more to say...

Depression -well nobody can help u if ur depressed alot u just gotta try to be happier or find a way to be happier.
Cutting-well its not good to cut urself.if u do cut urself well u could die one day from cutting to deep.but nobody can help u with this other than maybe ur parents.
Eating disorders-well i cant say much in this category since i dont eat much.i only eat dinner and a few small snacks.so i know nobody can help me with this.
Parental Issues-well i have issues but they dont abuse me they r always bugin me so im either locked up in my room listenin to music or out with my friend.
