I'm overly paranoid, what shall I do?

Okay, well I’m 14 years old.
You make think that I’m young and have no idea of what I’m talking about but I do, just listen please. Right, just take note, I have depression running in both sides of my family, my mum’s side and my dad’s side. My mum used to be on a high dose of anti-depressants, but now on a low dose because she’s getting better, and my brother who is 17, self harms as he’s so depressed about college and stuff he should be stressed or worried about. Anyway, well, lately, I’m feeling so paranoid about EVERYTHING. I’ve been liking this boy for ages and ages now and we’ve only started going out for like 4 days now. He makes me feel good about everything and anything, but my friends, they bring me down all the time. Not about anything personal, it’s just silly stuff, like bitchy comments and little spiteful things like that. I know I sound so pathetic at the moment, but I know, I don’t feel, I know, it’s just worst. I’ve just sat talking to my best friend about it, but I can’t put the message through to her, so I’ve failed there.

I’m not feeling depressed as such, just overly paranoid.
I just need someone to tell me how to get myself over this, because at the moment it’s making me feel down in the dumps, which I don’t need that because I’m young and I don’t want to be growing up like this.

Thank you for listening.
Thank you guys for answering so quickly, I just had a confidence boost, so thank you!

Long past the abortion; but not past the hurt…?

Nearly 20 years ago as a college freshman I found myself with a fairly new boyfriend and an unexpected pregnancy. My plan was to place the baby and stay in school; I totally let the guy off the hook — we didn’t know each other well at all, and even though I liked him well enough… we just hadn’t been together that long and I didn’t want him involved.

My parents, though, begged me to keep the child. They said they couldn’t face the thought of of their grandchild "out there and unknown to them." More turmoil in an already tumultuous situation.

The guy stuck around. He actually turned out to be a fantastic support and amazing friend when I really needed one. The college I was attending was small/private/Christian & wanted me GONE. I agreed to keep my pregnancy a secret and leave after exams. Actually, I begged and they did the agreeing.

My good guy turned into Mr. Wonderful one day when he said: You know, we could just get married. We don’t know each other that well… but we get along great, and I think it’ll be okay. Let’s give it a try.
So we started planning a small wedding.

But, at my first ultrasound I was told I was fully a month LESS pregnant than I thought. I was shocked to realize that meant the baby wasn’t his, but a long-gone one night mistake with a group of friends out of town over the summer… one of those regrettable things.

I told him, and his response was: I very much want to marry you, but I cannot be a father to someone else’s child.

He asked me to have an abortion but continue with our plans to marry. I did. We did. We told everyone we lost it. He comforted me by saying not to worry, we’d "try again" soon, and not long after we got married we did have our first daughter. Now we have two girls (15 & 13). He is an amazing dad; he works hard and we have a great life.

Meanwhile I’ve been living all these years so incredibly sorry for what I did — giving up MY child just because he asked me to, and without very much thought. As our girls have grown I think about my first, wondering what he or she would have been like, everything at every stage. I can’t let it go, and as time passes I find myself angrier and angrier at my husband.

He is such a great dad to our kids, but he so quickly wanted to get rid of mine. No one had to know, and the baby was an innocent. I’m not discounting my part in any way — I beat myself up in more ways than I can count for what I so easily threw away.

I have been to a therapist who wanted me to see an intensive Grief/Loss person — the problem is this: If I go talk to someone like that I’m going to have to tell them how very angry & resentful I’ve become toward my husband. He doesn’t know. We don’t talk about it.

I just don’t know…

About Medical Marijuana for Anxiety?

I live in California and I have always had Anxiety. I was diagnosed about 8 months ago with Severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder and also a Panic Disorder. Both my parents have said no to medication such as Anti-Psychotics and Anti-Depressants.

The thing is, I kind of agree with them on the pills because I absolutely suck at handling pills. Mostly every medicational pill I take makes me nauseous. Even Tylenol!

So about 4 weeks ago my friend gave me some Marijuana baked into a cookie and said that his Dad has it for Anxiety and it would help me not worry so much. So I ate it and it did help me. The Anxiety went away and I felt like I could actually live life freely.

So far I have done it 3 other times all in food form and my anxiety has been gone away for some time.

I can focus on schoolwork and my test scores have increased.

So I was wondering if it’s possible to get a medical marijuana license at the Age of 14 with your parents permission?

Also how would I bring it up to them? Should I bring i up to my doctor first?

Thanks!

P.S.

I am not trying to get this to get high. I am not a pothead. I am just seeking an effective way to relieve my Anxiety.

I dunno about me….?

I really want to be social, I really do. I just think that sometimes I try way to hard and I have bad conversations with people, or talk loud, or get to excited, because it rarely happens that I get to talk with ppl my age. (im 14) I rarely get out of the house, becuz it is my comfort zone (I have Social anxiety disorder). I know I look really good, I think I have good self esteem, but I just feel sometimes like Im weird, cuz i cant maintain eye contact sumtimes, i get the sensation of crying in the hallway of school when people are being so social and i am not……i mean i just cant imagine being one of those social people anymore. i want to, but now im so stiff and backoffish, im was really playful in the pool today, but no one notices me. what in the world do i have to do. I refuse to go down about this, but i dont wanna be weird, or become anti-social like my dad. i want to be more outgoing! HELPz
At school, people act so perfect; when i know that i am not!! i want to be like them! I also think that everything is so sexual lately. is this normal? i back off because of that too….

DM cough medicine and pregnancy?

My stepmother has been taking DM childrens dose cough medicine, her doctor recommended it to her. But my dad went to the store last night and was told by the cashier that there is an ingredient in it that teen age kids have been using to make a certain drug, and that my step mom should NOT be taking it while she is pregnant, because it can ruin the sack that the baby is surrounded by.
My dad asked if the man was a doctor and he said no, but that he used to work in a hospital. He told my dad that my stepmom should ask the doctor again if it is ok to use this.
She is also mixing antidepressents with it, which the bottle says you should not be doing, does anyone know if this could be a major problem?

I already have done research on the anti depressents and I have found that there have been a number of studies and they don’t seem to have any affects on the growing fetus.
I sould say that the cashier said that she should check with the doctor again because he (the doctor) doesn’t seem to know what he is talking about.
