Question by Sophia: Is my daughter’s behavior normal after a death?
We had the most amazing, nicest, sweetest, most angelic cat in the world for 18 years. My daughter grew up with the angel cat for her entire life. When the angel had to be put to sleep 2 months ago, my 21 year old daughter didn’t take it well. She started smoking again (she had quit, hadn’t smoked since she was 17). She refused to talk about the situation. She stayed in her room for a week. Then she put a photo of her cat on her desk and sometimes she hugs the photo and pets it.

Is this normal or should I be worried about how my daughter is coping with this?
Barry- that was a really beautiful poem.

Question by Alex: What do I put for getting a weapons carry permit?
I haven’t applied for one yet because I’m worried I might get denied because when I plead to “and successfully completed” the FOA, part of the stipulations was for me to also see a physiatrist. So does that mean to mark yes under

“Have you ever been ordered to receive inpatient or outpatient treatment at any treatment facility, mental health center, hospital, sanitarium, clinic or program for a mental condition”

Technically I was never ordered to a “facility” it just said “Defendant to have mental health evaluation by a Psychiatrist & complete recommended treatment”.

Question by Lion123: Can you suggest any other things ways to get through this?
So I’ve been suffering from depression and anxiety (mood disorder according to my new therapist) for the past 3 years. I am a sophomore in high school which means I still have the next two years of high school to finish. But honestly, I don’t feel like I can do it. I hate getting up and going to school, my grades aren’t to my satisfaction and I’m constantly having anxiety attacks at school. This may sound like normal teenage problems “A 15 year old girl who doesnt want to go to school anymore” how original, right? Wrong, I feel like this is just weighing me down. Recently my depression has gotten so much worse, worse then anytime before and I really don’t know how much longer I can handle this shit. Its so tiring and school is just another thing for me to worry about. I’m trying to keep this all under control but everything is but that. I’m literally in a war with myself so school, although it had always been a huge priority to me, is just more of a problem to me now. I’m not saying I want to quit high school but I just want an alternative. I’m currently attending a small clean school with a very high academic curricular and although I love the environment, my grades don’t agree with me. So I’m supposed to be moving to a “regular public” high school next year but I really don’t feel I can do it. I’ll be the new girl in a whole new environment and just the thought of it makes me feel so sick. If you’ve ever been through this, how did you get through it? Other than that do any of you have any suggestions for me? I’m just having some issues with my own mental health at the moment and probably for the rest of my life but I’m thinking about whats happening now and whats happening now is I need help, other solutions to my problem. Please give me your advice and or solutions to my problem. Please and Thank you in advance.
