Dr. Phil is going to be able to tool around in his vintage Chevrolet Bel Air once again now that the car has been recovered from thieves, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The stolen 1957 black Bel-Air, owned by TV host Phil McGraw, showed up this week, the Times quotes the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department as saying.
The $100,000 classic has been gone since August when it was stolen from a Burbank, Calif., repair shop. McGraw told USA TODAY that the dream car was apparently singled out by thieves and he had feared they would try to sneak it out of the country in a shipping container.
Besides Dr. Phil's car, Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies also recovered 13 other stolen vehicles.
The Times said suspects had been arrested, according to police. Other than some minor body damage, the Chevy was in good shape.

The Orangeville Youth Council approached the county commissioners about using the old jail for a haunted house-spook alley for Halloween. The commissioners said the building is currently being used for storage and would not be suitable.
The commissioners said they have the old warehouse (incubator building) north of Huntington that they could use and it was also suggested that the building at the rodeo grounds in Ferron might be available.
The Orangeville youth said they would meet and discuss the location for the spook alley. They plan on using the spook alley as a food raising event for the local food bank. The participants would donate a can of food for entrance into the spook alley.
Sharon Earl, coordinator for the Emery County Chamber of Commerce spoke to the commissioners concerning the Senior Citizen Christmas Party. It is scheduled for Dec. 8 at 6:30 p.m at the Recreation Building in Castle Dale. Last year the commissioners offered monetary assistance for a joint Chamber/Commission party. Earl reported that 174 seniors attended the dinner last year and everyone received a door prize collected from local businesses.
Buses will run to transport the seniors to the recreation center and also a bus from Green River will transport Green River seniors to the dinner. Commissioner Drew Sitterud said the commission is in full support of the dinner for county seniors. The commission approved $800 for the food for the party.
Brenda Dugmore, deputy county clerk, proposed the county close the board of equalization which has been open for the required 30 day time limit. She will bring the equalization changes to the commission meeting on Oct. 5 for approval.
The commission ratified the awarding of the bid to Ernie Jensen for the concrete on the fuel tanks.
Commissioner Sitterud called for citizen concerns to be brought up. Sharon Earl, local business owner, said she hoped the new economic development director for the county, Mike McCandless could help things move in a positive direction. She said that six businesses have recently closed in the county and 17 new businesses have recently opened in Carbon County. "We need to keep small businesses here," Earl stressed. "We need to stop people from going out of the area to shop. We are closing out our audio department at Earl's Furniture and Appliance because we can't buy our items for what Wal-Mart sells theirs for. Emery County is a golden opportunity. We need to give financial help to our businesses to make them successful. They just don't have the support they need to succeed." Earl suggested going after money and grants to help our local businesses grow.
Commissioner Gary Kofford brought up an idea during the citizens concerns. He said the fair board has been kicking around the idea of a name brand entertainer for the county fair for next year. "It is an aggressive, adventuresome and also scary idea," said Kofford. The group Sawyer Brown was mentioned as being available for the Friday night of the fair at approximately $45,000. The Spartan Center was the location mentioned as being available to handle such a concert with seating for approximately 2,500 people. With a full house at $20 per ticket the concert could break even. Kofford said the question is if the county wants to sponsor such an event and spend the money to back up the endeavor. Also, sponsors for the event could be obtained. Kofford suggested maybe looking for someone less expensive than Sawyer Brown in the $20,000-25,000 price range. It was also suggested the college be contacted to see how the concerts they have sponsored in the past have been supported.
Sharon Earl said, "If you put a committee together you could do it, one time we filled the auditorium with the group the Knudsen Brothers. Earl also reported that the chamber of commerce is going to have a luau with Hawaiian dancers and food on one of the fair nights in conjunction with the lamb fry."
Earl also said, "This is Emery County and people just don't think you can do things like that here (concert), but it can be done"
Rob Midgely, airport manager, mentioned that Sawyer Brown had come to the community of Torrey, and that community is smaller than Emery County. He suggested contacting them and seeing how successful it was and how many people attended.
Leslie Bolinder, commission secretary, said other counties that have big name entertainers at their fairs, add the item to their fair budgets. If they get the money back OK and if not OK because it has been budgeted. The decision must be made on how much to spend on the Emery County Fair.
Commissioner Kofford said one concern he has is the expense of people going to the rodeo and other activities and if the concert would take away from what's already going on.
Commissioner Sitterud commented on how well the rodeo did this year and that next year they are looking at obtaining a grant to purchase portable bleachers to accommodate bigger crowds.
Midgely reported on the fuel sales at the airport. He said that 3 cents from every gallon of fuel sold will come back to the county from the state.
Commissioner Ira Hatch reported on the approval of the grant with the Utah Department of Transportation aeronautics division for upgrading the Huntington Municipal Airport.
Funds have been secured for a grading and drainage project and also widening. New lighting will also be installed at the airport after the widening is completed. The grant obtained by the county is a 90/10 match with UDOT. It was noted the airport will be closed for approximately one month for the improvements and should be operating again by Nov. 15. Nielson's Construction will be laying the asphalt for the airport project.
Commissioner Hatch reported that he and Bevan Wilson had attended the joint highway committee meeting for non-urban roads. The county is online to receive $250,000 for improvements from the Temple Mountain road to Goblin Valley. This is a 50/50 match and the county portion of the match will come from Emery County Special Service District #1. Hatch also mentioned the improvements to Goblin Valley campground. He said they are working on the permitting for the new road and the preliminary road location.
He said the commissioners participated in the Peach Days and Melon Days celebrations and there were good crowds at both events. Green River Mayor Glen Dale Johnson said they are looking at expanding Melon Days next year.
Commissioner Kofford said he had attended an open house for the Ferron fire station and another open house has been planned during fire week on Oct. 8 from 6-8 p.m. He said it is a state of the art facility and something Ferron and the county can be proud of.
Commissioner Sitterud reported that the economic summit held in Castle Dale was a big success. Sitterud reported that the gas plant has sold in Green River and will create 10-20 good jobs for Green River. The economic development council will help with some of the cleanup work to the site.
The new boat ramp at Joe's Valley is being worked on currently.
The next commission meeting is Oct. 5 at 4 p.m. in the commission chambers at the county building.

PTSD - Post Teen Stress Disorder
My husband, who somehow ends up having deeply interesting conversations with strangers on a regular basis, was talking with a psychologist and mentioned that he didn't understand Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The psychologist said, "Have you ever had that dream where you are back in college but missing a final or some variation of that?"
"All the time."
"Then you understand PTSD. There is a physical reaction to stress and your brain and body remember it, and in those dreams you're in that physical and psychological memory and your brain cannot understand that it doesn't need to be stressed out about that anymore. PTSD is that sensation compounded."
So, interesting, right? But here's the thing. I've never once had the "I signed up for a college class but haven't been attending and now it's the final and I'm dead meat" dream. Nope. But I very regularly have a dream where for whatever reason I didn't finish high school and I have to go back.
Yup. Pretty much my ultimate nightmare right there: RETURN TO HIGH SCHOOL AND NEVER GET OUT. (It was even more awesome when I'd have the dream pregnant and get asked to prom and think, "First of all I'll never find a maternity formal, second of all, it's kind of inappropriate, right?") (Which might leave you wondering why, if high school was so awful I am still suffering mild psychological trauma ten years later, I choose to write from teen perspectives. But that's not what we're here to talk about today. [Perhaps that should be discussed on a couch. To a therapist.])
Today I am here to tell you that it's going to be okay. Maybe you've screwed up. Maybe you're just worried you're going to. Maybe you feel so much pressure to be building building building for your future you wonder if you even want that future, or you can't sleep because you're convinced the future you want will never happen, or you cry when you are in the shower and no one can hear because you're doing it WRONG and it's going to ruin everything forever.
It's not.
That's the best thing about being a teenager: you can screw up. I'm not advocating making huge mistakes because you will definitely have to work harder and stress more than you would have had you not messed up, but fact of the matter is, you're probably going to at some point.
And when you hit that point, you might worry that it's over. This nebulous, hazy "future" you have sitting like those horrible little cartoon devils on your shoulder, might whisper in your ear that you've blown it.
I'm going to tell you a story that very few people know. (HELLO INTERNET. HAVE SOME OF MY SECRETS.) When I was a junior in high school I struggled with depression. I'm not sure why; unlike in most books there was no huge trigger, no big THING that made me depressed. I just was. And because I was depressed everything felt huge and overwhelming and too much for me. So I did something really stupid. I maintained every single other aspect of my life (I was a big fat faker and very good at it, too) but I stopped doing anything in my honors pre-calculus class.
Anything. At all.
I went to class. I sat there. I didn't do any of the homework. I don't remember what I did on the tests, but when that second term report card came home with a big F in the middle of my straight A's, I laughed and said that the teacher hadn't put in all of the assignments yet and it wasn't really an F. My parents trusted me because when I wasn't depressed I was an honest kid. But that depression monster made me hide things, shove them away into corners of my brain and my life, pretend like they didn't exist. Like math. If my math class didn't exist, then I could handle everything else.
This continued until almost the end of the year, when I could no longer hide everything, when the dark secret corners had seeped out into the entire room of my life.
It was over.
Everything was over.
I was living every day in fear, fear of being discovered, but even worse the fear of knowing that I had ruined everything. All of my dreams. All of my plans. They were over, and I had blown it, and it was all my fault because I was stupid and couldn't handle a dumb class and couldn't tell the truth and couldn't ask for help and couldn't sleep and couldn't even feel like I was supposed to.
To tell you the truth, I remember almost nothing from those few months. I don't remember how my parents reacted when I came clean that yes, in the middle of all my honors and AP "A" grades, I had failed two terms on math and was well on my way to failing a third. I don't remember what they said. I should, but I don't. The second half of my junior year is a gray blur of fear and failure.
One thing I do remember is this. After everything came out and we met with the teacher who agreed to let me make up all of the course work I had missed (a miracle and a very generous decision--turns out those adults we are terrified of as teenagers actually love us and want us to succeed) I was walking home from taking a makeup test, sure I had failed. Again. Even when I was trying to make everything better I was still just screwing it all up. As I went to cross the road and cars sped by I had a thought.
A brief thought.
A thought that maybe if I stepped out in the street and got hit by a car, this whole math thing wouldn't matter anymore.
Now, to be clear: I did not want to die. I was not suicidal. But I had let things get so bad and so blown out of proportion in my mind that the idea of being hit by a car seemed like a good solution. Looking back, it was such an irrational thought so as to be almost insane. Probably actually insane. But that's the thing when you are living in fear and depression and pressure: you aren't thinking rationally. You can't.
Gosh, this is getting heavy. Sorry about that. Here's where it gets better.
In the end I walked home. I did not let myself get hit by a car. Life wasn't easy, but I kept fixing what I had messed up. I worked on being honest with myself and my parents again. I worked with the very kind teacher who understood that sometimes sixteen-year-olds screw up. She let me redo the coursework from where I stopped, let me redo the tests, let me come into her class every day during her free period and essentially take the class again to make up my failed grades. I swallowed my pride at being "smart" and hired a fellow student to tutor me. I didn't get A's. I think I got three C's. But those C's buried in my other good grades were enough that my dream college didn't even notice them.
So even though I'd messed up, seriously screwed up, and temporarily derailed myself and my future, it was fixable. It wasn't easy. It was long, and it was hard, and it wasn't fun. But I had parents who loved me and wanted to help me succeed. I had teachers who cared and wanted to see me secure a good future. And I wasn't an adult yet.
You're a teenager. That's AWESOME. Maybe you're like I was and feeling like you are drowning in all of the potential futures you could have. Maybe you've already done something hugely wrong, made pretty much the biggest mistake you could. Maybe you think it's over. I am here to tell you it's not. You'll have to keep walking, keep moving forward. Yes, your life would be much easier if you hadn't done that thing you did, but the amazing thing about being you is that those futures spreading out in front of you? They're all still there. You might not have the same path to them that you thought you would, but they're still there and you can still have them.
Take a deep breath. You'll get out of this. And when you get out, things will be so much bigger and so much better than you can understand right now. All you have to do is make it through in the best way you can. Just remember how many people you have that care. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to need help. Be brave. Make the hard choices. Do your best.
Also, for the love of Pete, have some fun while you're at it. And if you see me in your dreams dazedly wandering the halls of your high school while wearing a formal and seven-months-pregnant, just smile and pat me on the back and remind me that I made it through. Just like you're going to.

This is an amazing post for everyone, I think.
Recently I found myself thinking about my own trig and calculus teachers who did much the same thing after I had to miss a month of school and fell incredibly behind. While other teachers doubted I'd succeed, this man (whose class I had the most trouble with without missing class), was the one who was the most patient and helped me the most.
For a while I had an 11 overall in his class, but I came out with a C. I've never been prouder of that C
I don't mean to make this about awesome Math teachers, because it's not really, but I know something similar happened to me in eighth grade and the teachers who didn't get it allowed me to fall into a depression, so in a way it relates.

That was really lovely Kiersten!
I would like to add also that even though it feels like NO ONE understands - there will always be SOMEONE that does. You're not alone, everyone (every single person) makes mistakes and no matter how old you get something will always happen to make you feel like it's all over. But it's not.
You're alive, and that's hope in itself :)

Thank you so much for opening up to encourage others! It's not just teenagers that need to hear this; it can be helpful to anyone in a transitional period of life. A lot of people tend to overlook how terrifying and depressing the unknown future really can be.
I'm out of my teens now, but I'm still adjusting to adulthood. I still have most of my life ahead of me, and I'm still hearing the same old same old, "Oh, you can carve out a wonderful life for yourself! I wish I could go back to those days!" from people who have already climbed the huge hill and made it. I think, "Yeah, easy for you to say. You already *made* it, and now you have all this experience and hindsight that would make things easy if you went back and succeeded yet *again*. Do you even remember what it was like to feel scared to death that things won't work out, no matter how hard you slave away?"
So, to end my little rant, thanks for the encouragement. Your understanding is very much appreciated. :D

Thank you for this. THANK YOU. I swear sometimes that my parents are forgetting what it's like to be a teenager on purpose just to make life harder for me. But I know that they aren't, really. Also, I'm going to be a junior next year and NO WAY am I going to take HONORS pre-calc. I'm taking regular and I worked hard to get to pre-calc from regular Algebra II. I'm not the smartest person in my grade. I haven't gotten straight A's since 6th grade. I constantly like to tell my friends (who ARE straight A students) that even though I don't get grades like them, that I'm just as smart. I had depression problems in 8th and 9th grade. After a move between 9th and 10th grade, it came back. It made me do all sorts of things I don't normally do. Like disrespect my parents, "forget" to do my homework, and stop going anywhere and become a hermit. (words my mother constantly said to me and still occassionally does: "You never want to DO anything anymore!") I got a therapist. I got help. I'm on the rise and even though the future is really, REALLY hazy...there's going to BE one and it's going to be one that I want. I love it that adults like you are writing about and for teenagers...hearing stories like ours (with a bit more excitement and fantasy thrown in) is what makes a lot of things worth going for. I asked my dad to get me a sparkly yellow taser before I go off to college. He said yes as long as it's legal in the state I go to. So yes, thank you Kiersten...for understanding and sharing your story. (I always end up sharing one of mine in return though...sorry!!!)
PS: I have a dream that I'm preggo all the time! Really, really, terrifying....
PPS: Did you get my e-mail? I was one of the random drawing winners but I'm not sure that you got my e-mail with my info in it! :/

I think you have your next book out of this post. I can so see a story about a teen struggling in highschool. Maybe the student tutor can become a love interest ;)
I had the same problem with Geometry.I don't think my parents even realized I was failing it. It ended up trickling into my physics classes later cause I didn't understand the geometry portions. I had an awesome teacher who worked with me every week to get my grades up to passing.

Thank you... just, thank you.
But, also, what if something else we don't have any control over (like a "trigger" you mention) causes us to make mistakes. How do we fix that, then?
But I think from now on, I'm going to save this post and read it. Every. Single. Day.
Thank you <3

KT--It's okay to need help. If you have something you feel like is out of control, you might benefit from therapy. Talk to your school counselor and your parents. And work on what you can control yourself. I let myself get into really destructive thought patterns which led to depression and destructive behaviors. Once I was able to identify those thought patterns I was able to recognize them and pull myself out before it got past the point where I could. I know a lot of teens are going to be dealing with things a lot more serious than I did, but I think the same things apply: you do the best you can, you make the best choices you can, and you find people (hopefully your parents but if not them, then counselors or teachers or clergy) who understand and will help and support you.
Some people will always have things that handicap them in a sense. Physical problems, psychological disorders, serious trauma that wasn't their fault. It's not fair, plain and simple. But you can figure out how to work around and with your specific problems to build the best life you can.
And again, always, it's okay to need help!

This is an excellent post Kiersten, and probably one that was difficult to write. Thank you for sharing.
Even as adults we can feel this way too. When In vitro and ICSI failed (infertility treatments) I wanted to be dead. Not die, I just wanted the desire to be a mother to die. I think that it may be human (female) nature to bury fears and hide them away. Its unfortunate that when we do this we creat even more fear and suffering in our lives.
The important thing is that we learn along the way. I believe when we share these experiences we may be able to comfort someone somewhere and relieve thier burdens. And if it's just one person, thats ok, because you made the world a better place - for them. (and those that love them ♥ )
You hold a unique position with our youth and I am impressed that you care enough about them to write theis. Thank you!

Wow...thank you. This is great. I just graduated last May, barely, and considered it a miracle. I did enough work to get by and now I've got no idea about colleges or anything, but I know I want to go to a college for a Library and Information Sciences masters degree, and I know I want to be a children's librarian if I ever get the chance. I've got the beginning and the end figured out, I'm just a little hazy in the middle.
Also, that's a wonderful description of PTSD...I never heard it explained like that before.

Nikki, I have a friend who barely made it out of high school. He's in medical school now! It just took him a while longer to get there. Community colleges are inexpensive ways to get moving toward a degree and build up good grades to transfer to a university and then eventually grad school for library sciences.
I am rooting for you! You'll figure it out : )

Wonderful and brave and honest.
I struggled for years with depression before seeking treatment which helped amazingly--it turns out I still have a personality! And it isn't "blah get away from me I want to hide!"
Also, my darling husband was once a depressed college student who drank, cut his classes and flunked out. Years later, he went back. He finished his degree. I think that was a lot harder than going straight through from high school like I did--it took immense courage to say, hey, I screwed it up but there's NO RULE that says everyone gets only ONE CHANCE.

Very well said! I'm currently working on a short story based on something that I went through when I was 15.
I'm writing it so those going through a simialar experience know that you can get through it. You will come out the other side, and it will make you a stronger, better person. There are people in your life that care and can support you, help you get back up, most of the time the hardest part is admitting to yourself that you need to ask for help.
We all need to remember that without the sorrows and challenges in life, we wouldn't appreciate the joys and accomplishments. This is a life lesson, everyone, not just teenagers are learning everyday.
Keep up the awesome Kiersten!

Kiersten - Thanks. I have seen a therapist for a while. We're at the point of seeing what's happens next. Kind of a limbo space. But sometimes it's so easy to forget things they say and fall back into that mindset :-/
But, honestly, it is so, so great to see that you were able to get out of that depression and be where you are today. And hearing that is really helpful and inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is so great, Kiersten! I've been out of high school ten years now and I often look back and wish someone would have told me what you just wrote out. I wish I would have known how to roll with the punches more, how the mistakes I made would make me the person I am today, and I wish I would have had more fun during it all. I remember those things now, so thankfully my twenties have been much better than my teens.
I currently teach job building skills to GED students and many of them have such amazing stories. They are so courageous and inspiring. Because of them, I truly believe any mistake or situation can be overcome if you're willing to fight for what you want.

Thank you. I'm going into my senior year of high school and most of the time it feels like I'll never make it through. My sophomore year was the worst so far and I often struggled with the thought that death was an easy solution.
I'm doing much better now, but I still have days when I don't feel like going any further. The next time that happens, I'm going to come back and read this post again. Thank you for giving me hope that I can make it.

I'm 16 and starting my junior year of high school in the fall. Usually, I'm one of those academically motivated, straight A girls. Sometimes, though, I wonder why I'm trying so hard. Will I ever make it? Are my hopes and dreams realistic, or are they ridiculous and too far out of my reach? There are times when I just want to throw everything at the wall and give up. And then people like you come along and remind me that it will be okay, no matter what. Call me crazy, but you honestly just made me cry.
Thank you, Kiersten.
- June 28, 2011 at 6:31 PM

Well, if it makes you feel any better, Zareen, ALL of the teen comments on this post have made me tear up. I just want to hug all of you. Awkwardly. And then give you cookies and tell you about how all I wanted to be when I grew up was a mom and an author. And I am : )
Wynter--You can make it! And I am so genuinely sincere when I say life gets better and these things that are so hard now will become easier to handle. Which doesn't mean they aren't hard now, but just that there's hope : )

Thank you so much for sharing this, Kiersten. I wish someone had said this to me when I was 16, but actually it's incredibly helpful to hear now too. I'm approaching the end of my college days, and The Future is looming, and I'm freaking out just a little bit (or a lot) from all the Pressure. This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you, so much.

Okay, I'm tearing up a little right now.
I had that big, huge thing last year that I just want to shove away in a dark corner and never have to think about again. At the time, I felt like the absolute worst person in the universe for it and to be honest, I still don't feel so great. What really got me through everything though was my mom. I am so lucky to have her. I remember being so lost for what to do and she would hug me and tell me everything would get better. It did, too, because she was there every step of the way after that, helping me.
Thank you for sharing. I hope I never have to experience that nightmare...

Thank you for this post. I'm in my early 20s and the inner teen in me needed to read that. I've suffered with depression at least since I was 9 years old. Maybe younger, but that's when I remember my first suicidal thoughts occurring. My home situation was bad and it got to the point where if any little bad thing happened my mind would automatically come up with 5 different ways to end it all. Junior year of high school I was close to acting on it, but my then boyfriend (now husband) saved me.
These days I am not struggling as hard as I used to--in fact most days I'm happy even though I have no clue what I'm supposed to do with my life. With him by my side--and not allowing manipulative people to have control over my life--I'm doing so much better.

This is an awesome post. As Anonymous 3:42 said, your words aren't just for teenagers (though they may be especially appropriate for individuals that age) but are applicable to anyone having a tough time of it. I'm 31, an age by which I'd fully expected to be married, have a house and a solid career, perhaps kids... Instead, I'm still figuring out how to make my life what I want it to be. A long-term boyfriend but no job yet, much less a career, we're still renting, and the idea of bringing kids into this financial situation is a stretch. I have moments where I feel like throwing my hands in the air in despair, conceding that the life I want is out of my reach. It's wonderful to be reminded that we all go through this, at some point or another, sometimes many times - and that with a little hope, hard work and perseverance it's still possible to get where you want to go, no matter where you currently are. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

I just came out of a depression. A short one, but one nonetheless. This month has just been truly awful for me, for a lot of reasons. Some I don't understand.

Thank you so much, Kiestern.
Right now, my problem isn't failing a class. That was my problem this semester. Now, I'm moving. This post inspired me to think forward. Honestly, I'm absolutely terrified of starting a new school and not knowing anyone. I start High School this year, which makes it WAY more terrifying. I'd always pictured High School as a good time. It would be hard, sure, but I would spend it with my friends. Now, I just can't even think of starting High School. I get extremely anxious every time I do. This post, as I said, helped me look forward, and it helps with my future. So, thank you. You're awesome.
- June 28, 2011 at 8:19 PM
thankyou for writing this sometimes i just get teary but i have no idea why or sometimes i just want to curl up in bed even if my friends want me to go out with them and sometimes everything just seems too big or too hard and i cant sort annything out in my head and i know im fifteen and why should i care?...i dont want someone i know to see this so i'll post it as anonymous but yeah, thanks again.
- June 28, 2011 at 9:04 PM
Thanks Kiersten, I think you helped so many people with this post, included me, its an answer to a prayer.
Yeah, I've found that I would never make it through life if I didn't have such a good relationship with my mom; because I've come to learn that even the bestest friends will once in awhile pull the rug out from under you, and it happens when you least expect it. But family is hopefully always going to be there. Even when I can't talk to my mom, (because for the moment she might be included in my problem) I have a brother or sister to turn to and they totally get it! I love family! I'm so thankful I have mine! :)
And I'm so thankful for my faith. I don't think with out the knowledge I have from my faith that I would be able to cope nearly as well as I do, even though sometimes it feels like I'm not coping at all, I still know in my heart that I am being supported and lifted by my Father in Heaven. :)

Wow. that was amazing.
It sort of helped me. Sometimes in my life when im working towards what i've always planned for myself: 'Go to university, study maths, get a degree then get a job. During all of this finish that pesky novel i've been trying to write and hopefully find out its not a pile of poo. Get it published, start to get other things published and finally live my dream as an author.'
wow. thats long. But sometimes i sit there and think. why? why am i working this hard for maths when really it is just a back up plan. then i remember. financial ruin if i dont make it as an author.
that sort of thing scares me every day. what if i've made the wrong decision about university? what if i dont really like maths once it gets hard? what if i never make it as an author?
what if i never find someone as awesome as Hot Stuff who will support me through this writing and be my rock?
But then some days i sit there and go. hey, im 18. i have like 70 years left in my life (i hope) so its not as if im running out of time. life works in mysterious ways, normally getting you to where you want to be even if you didnt want to be there at the beginning.
Like my mum wanted to be a doctor and worked really hard until her teachers told her she couldnt do it, that she wasnt smart enough. so she didnt care anymore and eventually couldnt get in to do medicine. so she picked zoology,thinking it was nearly the same. and she hated it, barely passed. but now she has a good career in finance, two kids and a husband. she says she's never been happier.
but sometimes you just want a crystal ball to look into your future and see that your life wont be as bad as you think it will.
I bet you sometimes just want to go back in time and tell little you that its going to be awesome. But then what if that changes your life? what if the depression made you who you were meant to be to be an amazing author?
So i shall just live my life and see where it goes. And even if i feel alone sometimes, i can just look at this post, then phone my best friend, and feel better.
Thankyou :D

Thank you for this post, Kiersten. It was really reassuring to see that I wasn't the only one who has stood on the side of the road, contemplating on getting hit by a car/bus/truck/biker/whatever just to escape/"solve" my problems.
I just barely made it out of my junior year (YESSSSS FREEDOM) and can totally relate to your post. I myself suffered from depression in the first semester or so of junior year (because of a relationship that went horribly wrong,some family problems, and academic stress) and contemplated 'solving my problems' (not really 'suicide', like you said) by doing things like jumping off buildings/running into streets/etc.
I'm glad to say that I'm much happier now (it IS summer, after all and senior year is still a few months away), but still found this post to be really helpful. I will keep what you said in mind in case bad stuff happens in my senior year, as well.
Oh, and I would also like to thank you for writing Paranormalcy (and working hard to get it published). I know this is random, but it really isn't, since I read your book during one of the darkest times of my life and it gave me many laughs/chuckles. Reading it really shined light on an otherwise awful day and let me forget my troubles and move on with my life.
You are awesome. And possibly one of my favorite people in the world. Reading your blog posts (I subscribe via email :D) always makes my day. I'd buy you a box of chocolates and send it to you, but I unfortunately (or fortunately? I guess it depends on how you look at it) have no idea where you live.
Thank you again, and I wish you luck on your future writing pursuits (good luck on editing/revising all those novels!).
- June 29, 2011 at 6:29 AM
Thanks for posting this, Kiersten. I'm at college and although I'm only 17 (I live in the UK), I've failed Maths and thought I'd messed up big time. I still haven't passed yet but I get my results back next month, so hopefully I will pass this time. :)
I struggled with depreesion too, although I don't much anymore. I'm not suicidal either, but I did breifly wonder one day what it would be like if I wasn't here. My gosh, those were bad days a few months ago. But I'm not depressed anymore now. :)
Thanks again for posting and I hope you continue to have success with your writing. And I can't wait for Supernaturally. :D

I had no idea when I began this post that it would address an issue I've been having troubles with myself lately.
Not that I've made some enormous mistake or flunked out of a class (though I'm sure I'd have a mental breakdown if I did that. If I get anywhere near an F, go ahead and reserve a padded cell for me), but I've certainly felt that overwhelmed sensation - when everything is just too much. I've started a process that's helping me overcome the anxiety (and the depression the anxiety leads to), and my life has definitely started to improve.
Ambition and high expectations of yourself are all fine and dandy until they start to break you down. Then, they're holding you back more than they're pushing you forward, and something needs to change. I'm working on that.
Anyway, this comment got kind of out-of-hand, but my point is: I get it, and it's nice to know that others do, too.

Oh how I can relate to this post. I'm long out of high school now, but I remember trying to get my associate's degree before I graduated from high school. I was taking somewhere around 20 credits of college coursework, in addition to my high school classes and a part-time job. My parents put a lot of pressure on me to succeed. C's were not options.
I really liked this boy, and he used me, pretty badly. I wasn't doing as well as I wanted in school. (well duh! with 20 credits). I was driving home from work one day and was approaching the bridge that I took on my way into my small little town. For one brief moment, I thought about driving off that bridge into an oncoming train. It would have looked like I had fallen asleep at the wheel or something.
But, I made it through high school, and even college. Now I'm married and have a baby. The things I did in high school don't matter anymore. When I got to college, I got to leave the boy that broke my heart and everything that came with it behind. It was glorious. And it happens to everyone.
Thanks Kiersten for a great post.

I also forgot one thing. I remember going to my mom and telling her that I thought that I was struggling with depression. She laughed in my face. I know that she loves me, and she loved me then. But, she didn't know how to deal with what I was feeling, and didn't believe it, because I was so good at stuffing.
But, I had friends that knew and helped me. And I had some teachers, one in particular, that cared about me. So, even if you think that your parents aren't there for you, there is someone there for you.

I'm a teen and I have depression I have to take medication for. No one in my class knows except for my 2 best friends. I don't know if it's worse to depend on these little pills to keep me sane or to be depressed without them but either way it sucks. I get A's and I'm on the High Honor Roll and I'm pretty well-liked in school but when I was at my lowest point I actually thought about cutting and you know what stopped me? I was afraid of the scars because then people would know. NO ONE besides the people I've known since I was a baby ever get it but then I read this post and I was like, holy shit. Thank you so much. I can't really describe how much this means to me- I'm not a writer- but it's really, really big. Thanks, Kiersten.

Always an important message!
I think it's really important that you pointed out that there doesn't have to be some big, horrible "trigger" thing to start someone (particularly a teenager) feeling so hopeless. I had a lot of serious chronic depression problems as a teenager (and beyond-- but they're worse as a teenager. Because EVERYTHING is worse as a teenager-- that's another important point!) But according to all the books I read and shows I watched and so on, I had a perfectly acceptible life-- loving family, comfortable economic situation, lots of natural talent that made schoolwork pretty easy, and no major traumas. I felt I had no RIGHT to feel like I felt... which just made me feel worse. I'm glad when someone points out that depression or other bad feelings are NOT ALWAYS LOGICAL. Well, they pretty much NEVER are. But that doesn't make them less true.
(And most of my PTSD dreams ARE my back-in-high-school ones, too. Occasionally elementary school. Occasionally also the period when I tried unsuccessfully to be a classroom teacher).
- June 29, 2011 at 2:12 PM
This is just 'wow.' It really made me feel better and just.. normal. I get depressed easily, whether it's over thinking about the future or something simpler, or I don't care about anything. I rarely feel anything for anything. I hate it.
When it comes to the future, I always think my dreams will never happen, that it will just suck.
BUT! This make me feel better, more optimistic about life in general. It's good to know it's normal to feel like this.
Thank you for an amazing post!

I struggled with depression last summer and I feel like I've got the upper hand today. I'm just starting to really get rid of it. What you felt, I felt it too. The idea of disappearing is just so tempting.

Confession: I read this and I am far from being a teen.
Thank you for using your blog for good. You continually amaze me with your sincerity, humor, and compassion. Not to mention, you just have a way of saying things that makes people feel like they're okay.
I had a similar depression/failed classes situation in seventh grade, but with social studies, science, and math. Depression can hit anyone at any time, with or without a trigger. And when it does, people like you make it better by helping us past that first hurdle: not feeling broken anymore.
And when you realize you're not permanently broken, you can start to put the pieces back together.

Only just catching up on the blog (I know, I'm a terrible person!).
Amazing, one of the best things I have ever read. Ever! And it's not just teens who think their lives are over as soon as they make a mistake. I'm 24 and I've been making mistakes my whole life (not that I'm bragging, I just seem to have a talent for it), and each and every time I end up beating myself up about it and just making myself down. Yet with reflection, and our ever-present friend hindsight, I've realised that most of my mistakes, or things that I thought were really huge deals, have more often than not turned out so much better than I originally planned. No ones life turns out exactly the way they planned it to. Some people might end up where they want to be but the how they get there and the twists and turns along the way are all unexpected.
Bad news for teens, the need to succeed and the pressure you put on yourselves doesn't disappear when you get older. The good news, you get much better at dealing with it and letting things go!

>"Today I am here to tell you that it's going to be okay."
Haha, no.
Ironically i found this blog post while googling to try to figure out if my experiences in high-school gave me actual PTSD, over 14 years ago.
I've been a mess since.

I know this is old and that I already commented, but fast forward 4 months and it means more to me now than it ever did before.
I've always been the "smart kid"... except in science. I just don't GET it, yet I work harder for it than any of my other classes. I honestly thought that I did fine on my unit test (1 of only 4) but it turns out I got a 40%. I'm so scared and I feel so awful. I told my parents (in tears) and they're as supportive as ever but I don't know what to DO now.
On a not so fantastic note, my chemistry teacher is entirely unwilling to give me extra help. She's busy every time I ask her for help at lunch or after school and refuses to let anyone in the class make up the mark.
I'm considering getting a tutor, but then I also keep trying to convince myself that I can handle it. I know this is probably stupid since my track record with chemistry has never been good but I'm terrified to take that step.
Anyways. Thank you for sharing. I hope it gets better.

DescriptionThis sound pack contains 25 high-quality "Coin" sound effects for use in video games. The sound style is like the 8-bit chiptune-style as typically used by retro arcade machines and retro game consoles. The "Coin" sounds can be used for anything coin- or score-related. For example: coin-pickups, coin-spawns, coin-spending and score-counting. These sounds are one-shots; there are no loops.
All sounds in this sound pack have been professionally designed using techniques learned during a period of 20 years of game development and sound synthesis. Great care has been taken to ensure all sounds are free of hums, clicks/pops and buzzes. Once the initial design phase was completed, the entire sound pack was taken through a second phase much like a mastering stage. This results in a complete collection of safely mixable sounds that are normalized, thereby enabling maximum usage flexibility.
ContentsThis sound pack contains 25 unique sounds. Each sound is delivered in two file formats: a high quality WAV-format (industry standard 16-bit stereo 44.1kHz) and a high quality MP3-format (320kBs stereo). The total number of files is thus 25×2 = 50.

Reaction: FIndia, McLaren, STR, Sauber
Reaction to the Australian Grand Prix from Force India, McLaren, Toro Rosso and Sauber.
- Related Content
Force India:
Adrian Sutil: "What a fantastic race and a great feeling. I started on the medium tyres, a different strategy to most of the cars ahead of me, and I think this was the right decision. The pace was quick and the car felt very good on the medium tyres so I was able to keep up with the guys in front of me, who I knew were going to pit early. It was not long until I was leading the race - my first time leading in Formula One. After my second pit stop I was back in the lead once again, so I knew that it was possible to come away with a great result. My final stint on the super-softs was much more difficult because the tyres started graining and I lost a few places. I was thinking I might need to pit again, but fortunately the tyres came back to me for the final few laps so I could save the seventh place. This result for the team is a perfect way to start the season and I want to say a big 'thank you' to the team once again."
Paul di Resta: "Seventh and eighth for the team is a great result and a great way to kick off the season. We've shown we have a car that is kind on its tyres and that helped us today by making less stops than some of our rivals. I feel I had a car that could have finished seventh, but I was stuck behind some of the three-stoppers at the start of my second stint, and that cost me quite a lot of track position. There are a lot of positives to take from the race, as well as some things that we can improve to make the car stronger, but we're in a good position heading to Malaysia."
Jenson Button: "Having won the Australian Grand Prix three times so far in my career - in 2009, 2010 and 2012 - you'd have to say that today's ninth place isn't really much to write home about. Having said that, I think we should be pretty satisfied with what we achieved here in Melbourne today. It was a tricky race, and our car isn't yet quick enough, so I think the team did a great job to achieve even as much as we did. As a result, I scored two World Championship points today, which makes 1001 in my career I'm reliably informed, and to be honest I don't think I could have scored any more than that. But, although that's a nice stat, it doesn't ease the pain caused by the knowledge that our car still needs a lot of work done before it's properly competitive. Looking forward to Malaysia next weekend, I think we've got a tough few days ahead of us, but hopefully we can now do some number-crunching in an effort to understand our car a bit better and extract a bit more performance out of it there."
Sergio Perez: "That was a very, very tough race. I got a good start, which is always a bonus, but, after that, even though the team did a great job with the strategy, we just didn't have enough pace to make significant further progress. Having said that, I nearly managed to score a point, but in the end I couldn't quite get up to 10th place at the end. To finish 11th is never really satisfying, but I think Jenson and I both drove pretty good races today. In fact I want to say 'well done' to Jenson, who maximised the performance of his car really well to finish ninth. Our engineers are aware that our car isn't yet as quick as it needs to be, but I know I'm now part of the best team in Formula 1 so I'm certain they'll improve it fast. Going back to this afternoon's race, I don't think the Albert Park circuit suited our car very well - it accentuated its problems in fact - so I'm hoping we'll be able to put up a better showing in Sepang next weekend. Last but not least, today will always be a very special day for me, because it was the day I made my McLaren debut, which is something that every driver always dreams of. As I say, it would have been even better if I could have scored points, but that'll come soon."
Toro Rosso:
Jean-Eric Vergne: ""It was a hot start, I was pushed to the outside and I ended up going through a gravel trap at one point. After that, the first stint on the Option was only average, but the last two sections on the Prime tyre were very good and competitive and I was even in the points for a couple of corners right at the end, but as I passed Grosjean I flat-spotted my two front tyres and overshot my braking point when I tried to chase Button. Overall, I think the weekend showed we have a good car with which we ought to be able to go hunting for points in every race. So I'm disappointed at not scoring here, but my hopes for the coming races are now higher than when we first started this weekend. I think that fundamentally, we have a good car."
Daniel Ricciardo: "In the end I had to retire with a problem linked to the exhaust. I reported back to the pit wall that I could hear strange noises and I tried to fix it by changing a few functions, but it was not to be. At the start of the race, I struggled to find grip and it felt like I was driving on ice, as it took a very long time to warm up the tyres. But afterwards, after about ten laps, I got up to speed and my lap times were not too bad, but by then I had lost too much time in the early stages. I think we have more homework to do when it comes to the tyres. Not the ending I wanted for the first Grand Prix of the season, especially here in my home race."
Esteban Gutierrez: "My main goal was to finish the race, and to achieve that is really enjoyable. I want to thank the whole team, because yesterday in qualifying we had a good chance and today we were able to recover some of what we lost yesterday. We have a good base and in the future we will try and push forward."
Nico Hulkenberg: "I'm bitterly disappointed about what happened today, but at the same time I'm not blaming anyone. Things like this happen in racing. What is particularly bothering me is the fact that I lost all this mileage today, which is so important particularly at the beginning of the season. It would have given me a lot of valuable data and information for the next races. Obviously, Melbourne is not a good place for me. It was my third Grand Prix here and the third time that I leave this place empty handed. The only good thing is that the next race takes place next weekend."

The recent article referenced below (HT to Kevin MD who HT'd Dr Tony Youn) reminded me of a conversation I had with a patient early in my career. She was a young widow. She was back in my office for a follow up visit after surgery. We got off on her grieving, her husband's illness, and other topics. He had died from a tumor in his lower face /upper neck that was inoperable due to the way it was connected and invading the structures nearby (think carotid and inferior jugular). It had left him very disfigured. She told me she regretted not being able to have an open casket funeral for him.
"I hope you don't find this strange, but I wish the tumor could have been removed after he died. Then we could have had an open casket funeral."
I blurted out "I would have removed for you."
"Really, you would?" she said.
"Yes, I would have."
"Thank you, Dr Bates. That would have meant the world to me."
Thinking back, I'm not sure why I blurted it out other than the connection we had at the moment. I don't regret saying it. I meant what I said to her. Inoperable tumors become operable after death because you don't have to worry about the blood supply to the brain anymore. You no longer have to worry about whether they might stroke out if you disrupt that supply. So debulking a tumor so the deceased looks "more normal" would be feasible. It would also be good practice for a young surgeon doing the dissection without worry of harming the person.
I don't think I would ever want to be part of doing a posthumous face lift or blepharoplasty or other cosmetic procedure, but I would be willing to debulk tumors if it would help families or individuals say "goodbye" more easily.

Henry Lamar Behling, 93, joined his sweetheart on Jan. 13, 2012. This was a long-awaited, joyful reunion. Henry was born Feb. 25, 1918, in Castle Dale, Utah, to Herman August Ferdinand and Hedvig Catherine Peterson Behling. He grew up in Castle Dale, where he learned to love carpentry work and met Ellen. He married Lois Ellen Snow on Nov. 9, 1940, in the Manti Temple.
Henry loved America and served in the army during World War II. He always displayed a flag at his home. He was a journeyman carpenter and built many churches, seminary buildings, apartments, homes, and a hotel- to name a few. After his retirement he spent many hours using his skills to build wooden gifts, help others with projects, help remodel homes, help at DI, and continually bless many lives. He had a large garden and shared with family and neighbors. He found great joy in hanging bags of freshly picked corn on the fence for any passerby to take home and enjoy.
Henry loved the out-of-doors and spent much of his time hunting, fishing, camping, and seeking adventure. His children and grandchildren also learned this love of the outdoors and nature from grandpa. Henry was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he had many opportunities to serve. He was the contractor-supervisor of the construction of the Castle Dale Stake Center, dedicated by Pres. David O. McKay 8 July 1951. He served a mission as the foreman for the construction of the Pocatello North Stake Center. He especially loved serving in the Stake Presidency, as the High Priest group leader, a home teacher, and financial clerk. He enjoyed people and made many life-long friends.
He is survived by his children Ruth, Phillip (Margaret), Max (Ann), and Denice (Brent) and 20 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild; also a brother Rex (Thora) and sister Alice. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, two sisters and two brothers. Funeral services were held Friday, Jan. 20, 2012 in the Timpanogos Second Ward Chapel, 800 North 100 West, Pleasant Grove, Utah. Interment in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery.
