[QUOTE="Steely, post: 412883, member: 3301"] Sending you many hugs.....part of your post reminds me of me at that age. I was very argumentative, and yet that turned me into a great leader in my career. Some could say that is a strength. My sister was the same way, only even more argumentative and confrontational, and again she was an amazing leader in her career. I does NOT sound like you have ODD though, because as you mentioned there is more violence associated with that, and a great lack of introspection, which you have a lot of. It could be that you are depressed, or have a mild mood disorder which would explain having a hard time with choices and the hygiene issue. I have severe depression, and have had it since 16, so that is not uncommon. It is also very treatable with therapy and sometimes some medication. Since you are bold and brave enough to be seeking advice on message boards and the internet (awesome:)), I would suggest seeking out what services you have in your community beyond your guidance counselor. There are many counselors that will take people on a sliding scale, and could benefit you greatly. Sometimes guidance counselors are too busy with educational stuff to help with psychological - which is sad - but still the reality of our school system. Stay in touch with us and let us know how we can help you. This board is a very smart informed group of people - and we will do anything to help:) [/QUOTE]
