[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] buffalo wing I don't know...I've been through depression before and eventually have gotten out of it, but I can't shake this off. I've had it for months...My grades are caving in, (don't get me wrong, I study and turn my homework in, I just can't concetrate on the tests thus making bad grades on them) I have family problems, and my friends never take me seriously. Has anybody ever gone through something similar, and gotten out of it? If so, I'd be grateful for any advice. Oh, and I'm not going to see a shrink, so don't suggest that.[/quote] Find a hobby. I enjoy playing the electric guitar. If you have to, you can always talk to Mary J. She's a nice fellow that will bring you up from the lows and take you up high.
