Talk:The Case of the Girl with the Long Face/@comment-24669562-20141001052632

I think I know how Fern feels. I have mental-emotional issues, not to say Fern does, but I admit sometimes I get sad (and cry) for no reason, or for the smallest of all things. It's stupid, I know, but sometimes that just happens.

I've even had times I was as happy as a lark one day and really sad the very next. One week last summer I was real happy, but then as the week progressed, I got sadder and sadder for some unknown reason and no matter what I did I just couldn't feel better and only got worse.

I don't know if any of you would understand this, but sometimes the dreams I have, even about things that are not sad, make me cry upon waking up. And one time I cried all because a memory of a dream I had when I was 5, like 17 YEARS AGO! I dreamt I was a teacher in my kindergarten class in lieu of my real teacher. Then I saw a little boy crying abd seconds later I grabbed the long pointing stick and hit that kid on his shoulder! Why? Because my teacher, I won't say who, did it to me. The school I went to, the teachers inflicted corporal punishment on children, this was in Gary, IN. But last year that memory of me dreaming about hitting that poor kid for no reason, along with me running erronds, being sick with a headace, and taking medicine for it and other meds for mental issues, I broke down and cried for way more than an hour and couldn't stop. I know it was just a dream but it was still terrible and I would never hurt a child, if I did I'd regret it. And sometimes seeing and hearing others cry makes me sad, especially my mother.

I've suffered from depression and suffer from anxiety, O.C.D. and other mental, emotional, and psychological issues. It's sort of good because it shows I'm sensitive and caring, and I can understand others, but it can also be a huge interference, not just in my life, but in that of others around me, especially those that have to deal with me, and I hate upsetting or feeling like I'm upsetting others.

But I think I can understand what Fern was going through, being blue for no reason or for some unknown reason. I'm wondering if Fern could be suffering from depression or some other emotional issue.

Do any of you suffer from all I described, what I or Fern goes/went through, or anything close to that? I'll understand if you don't want to talk about it. I have things I don't want to go back to or talk about.

Enough from me. What are your comments about this episode, or my comment?
