>>��Has anyone heard of Ortha Tricyclene causing depression? Someone said they had read a study where the majority or at least a lot of teenage girls on this pill suffered from depression. Would St. johns Wort work? I am having problems with a boy. I did something I should not have 5 months ago and the boy has ignored me since the incident. I feel that I did something to cause him not to like me. My mom says boys are like that - they get what they can and then move on. I have talked to my friends about this and they say I will get over it - but I'm not getting over it. I feel hopeless about my future, feel like everyone knows what happened and no boy will ever like me again. I wish I could take it all back. I feel fat (gained 10 lbs on the pill) and ugly though everyone tells me it isn't true. I cry all the time and wake up thinking it is just another poopy day. The things that used to make my happy don't now and I am struggling in school. HELP!!


Girl, I feel so bad for you, i totally feel your pain. And your mom is right, most guys are pigs. They take what they want and then boom, they're gone in a snap. Until you meet your Prince Charming that is (<- i have learned that everyone has theirs and not to listen to your moms about that one cuz they usually say you won't ever find yours and not to wait for him, just cuz they don't want u holding out and getting hurt...etc...) Obviously this guy wasn't your Prince Charming, and now all you have to do is wait for him, and believe me he'll be worth the wait. There is a soul mate out there for everyone, and this guy OBVIOUSLY isn't and wasn't yours, so don't sweat him. I hope that helps with the guy part of your problemo.
As far as the pill goes, I honestly don't know. If it's not the pill then it's somethin else, but the deal is that you are depressed. I know cuz I been there and done that too. You seriously need to talk to someone about being sad all the time cuz that's not a fun way to live life! And why live not being happy, when you can live being totally giddy? You can get help and be happy again! Just ask for it, and you shall recieve it. I really hope the pill doesn't cause depression, because I'm going to the Women's Health Clinic today to go get my first perscription of Ortho. But it doesn't matter what the cause of your depression is, depression is an illness, but one that is totally treatable. Go get the treatment, go get the cure, and you'll be SOOO much happier.
PS if you ever need advice again, here's a suggestion. www.teencentral.net is this awesome website for teens who seek advice about ANYTHING. I love it, you get advice from professionals, and then if u want they post your problem so that you can get advice from other teens too!

Your Friend,
