Help! I Need Somebody!!! [Advice Center]

[Annalina Lennon McCartney]

Hey little applescruffs,

This is where you can give each other advice and other stuff like that! No matter how big or small, Beatley or not, ask away here!

 

[Sadie]

Yay! I'm glad we now have a help center here. :]

I have a similar group over at my Beatlemania site called Beatle Rehab. Some members from MyBeatleSpace posted over there about how hurt they were with what happened to MBS.

I have depression problems. I tried medicine and therapy and everything but I discovered I feel ALOT better after listening to The Beatles & just music in general, and by talking to friends like BeatleGirl & Beatle Nut. Anna says she feels sad sometimes too, even Beatlebob agrees with me that The Beatles save lifes! :D

[Annalina Lennon McCartney]

Haha! yay! I remember we had a similar group back at MBS. I don't remember what it was called, but we talked about depression problems, too. :(

I think that is similar to the root of my depression... nothing can really "help" me except the Beatles. I'm not very religious, so nothing worldly can really affect me :/

The Beatles helped me through bad times and made good times even better! Even though I probably don't have any real life friends at all, JPGR were always there for me!

Each song has meaning and can fit any mood of everyday.

Music has really helped me. I've never received any professional help, because no one in real life has ever tried to help me before, [except my mom for basic life needs] so I've never tried anti-depressants or received any therapy. JP told me I can go to the doctor and get pills for like $4 a month (lol!) and a few people told me I should apply for disability, but I don't know how that's going to work out.

I tried to be normal by getting a job but no one has hired me, because they probably saw that I'm not a good enough candidate for that position. I'm not sure how I'm going to go back to school if I see each day as a "living hell" (that's what Sadie and I call our lives) and I just feel miserable each day.

I'm not sure if I'm being pessimistic or what, but I just feel like I belong in a different time, probably when people were nicer, more conservative, just a place filled with kindness and love. But I don't think that's being realistic because it's a wild wild world out there. I will get hurt and beaten down, but I'm just too sensitive for that.

People are very selfish and masked with emotions that they bottle up and have to look strong by acting tough by putting other people down just so they can feel better about themselves.

George's song Devil's Radio says the devil is everywhere, and I believe that is so. Gossip [the tongue] I think which is mentioned in the Bible as one of the most evil things used in this world.

Well, okay that was therapeutic enough for me. The Beatles & MUSIC do save lives! :D

If the reason I'm still like this and for a reason, God or "gods" put me here or if nature just has its own way of how things work, then The Beatles are still working for me. Maybe I'll find a path to any road soon enough :)

[Okay, now I remember -- the group was called "With A Little Help From My Friends" LOL]

The Beatles can fix anything <3

[Sadie]

I don't recommend anti-depressant pills! They make you feel even crazier! Like by 10x! haha.

My depression problems come from traumatizing events that have happened to me in the past, and having barely any money. :/

I thought about taking up religion, but some of them want you to give up music, and if I give up the boys I will DIE!

I applied for disability for depression, and I really hope I will be approved so I won't ever have to work. I went to public school for about 10 years and hated it, I went to elementary school and junior high/middle school but by the time I got to high school I couldn't take it anymore and dropped out. I hated the people, waking up early, etc.

So much bad stuff has happened to me already, that I have no motivation to start being an "adult", going to a college/university, or getting a job. Life sucks. I swear to god (if there is one) if it wasn't for The Beatles, I seriously would choose NOT to live. Life is way too hard.  :/

[Sadie]

@ Beatle Girl, so yeah, we have pretty much the same problems! I'm always here for you, and you're always there for me! :D

 

@ Beatle Nut, I totally agree!

The Beatles have "fixed a hole" 'in my life' many times! :D

[Annalina Lennon McCartney]

"I don't recommend anti-depressant pills! They make you feel even crazier! Like by 10x! haha."

LOL! So being/feeling normal makes a crazy person even CRAZIER? HAHAHA.

I've been traumatized, too, and people don't see what the big deal is because they've never seen or felt what I have. I've been told that I'll just "get over it" someday. Really? Does it take more than 10 or more years to get over something without help? I don't think there is any one way to help yourself, but it takes time and a mixture of things to move on from the fact that you were once in that dark place, but now you still have life to look forward to and make a change out of it. We learn from our past mistakes or experiences. I'm getting sleepy right now, but I'll keep typing on. 

I know the feeling, Sadie. Money problems cause depression, even in happy people who never felt how it is to feel like dying everyday. That is fixable, though, but if we keep doing jobs we do not enjoy, I don't think that is living, either.

To me, life -- living is a chore. I don't know how it is to have freedom when I can't even leave my own home for anything because I can't afford anything. The only thing keeping me leveled is being on the internet because I have the freedom to talk to anyone / go to any website without being so easily judged by appearance or how much I have in my pocket.

I went to high school too, which was a daily hell for me. I was ignored and felt weird, and I've felt that way ever since.

I hate talking/reading about this stuff, but maybe anyone reading will feel better about themselves lol like they actually have jobs or finished college or can actually pay bills or can talk to people and make friends because they can go out.

What I mean about the "root of my depression" is that The Beatles aren't just a band to me. They symbolize this whole entity of what was so great about the Sixties, innocence, love, and the fight for peace. I rarely see that nowadays. I'm all about that, and I have not a single friend or found anyone who actually told me they believed in it too.

I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, but I'm just about fed up with it, I feel so numb lately.

People have other problems, too, but if any one of you reading this is having a bad day, feel better because you are probably blessed with things that most/other people don't such as in third world countries or developing countries where children have no food at all or clean water, or have tattered clothing and overworn shoes, with no safe/comfortable place to sleep in. So that's my advice XD *goes to sleep now*

I have an exercise for any of you that have any insecurities that you want to get rid of.
 

List all your major insecurities about yourself. For example:
 

I'm ugly

I can never get anything done.

I'm getting old

I'm not smart enough. I'm dumb. I'm stupid
 

then cross those out and write the opposite things next to them
 

I'm ugly ..... I am beautiful!

I can never get anything done.  ..... I can do whatever I set my mind to!

I'm getting old ..... I'm getting wiser everyday!

I'm not smart enough. I'm dumb. I'm stupid ..... I'm an intelligent, smart, interesting person!!!

Kick out those habits, and when you do this everyday, you will start reinforcing these ideas into your head!

Try it... I will, too. :) Look into the mirror and smile at yourself. Look out the window and smell the fresh air.
