Happy 2009
I haven't been here in like 3 or so months and it was because I didn't have internet and my phone was crap. I traded that crap for a white iPhone and now I have internet.
My depression may not worsen, depending if the medication works, which I'll be prescribed in a week. Right now I'm on vacation for two months and have to go to A.P classes to cover the material we missed during the semester. My GPA for that semester was a 1.03 or something like that. I didn't learn anything.
What does it mean when a person starts talking to themselves? Or when they exhibit eccentric behavior? Or if they laugh at random times?

Is this what you suffer?
I see no problem with talking with yourself. It helps me get through thoughts I would mix up with others if left in my head. Laughter is said to be the best medicine. I do not know what it can cure, but it keeps me happy to be able to laugh for no given reason. As for eccentric behavior, I do not know if I could point that out myself. All three traits I do not judge a person by but some people want to defined what is normal and good behavior. I do not understand where the problem with talking to oneself comes from because it was acceptable when kids play by themselves and create adventures and other games.
Welcome back!
I, for one, have assuredly missed you.
The depression and missed school do not for happiness make! I wish you a speedy and uneventful turnaround.
What's with the "2009?"
I hope it doesn't mean bad things.
I do all of those. On the last day of school wo years ago, I started laughing for absolutely no reason and I couldn't stop for at least 10 minutes. I also sit strangely a lot, like balancing my feet on the bar below chairs at school and suppoting myself with only my legs (which is great leg excercise) and leaning on the desk or table, lifting from the chair, and rocking. And with the type of desk shown below, I lean the whole thing forward.
I talk to myself all the
I talk to myself all the time. It helps me sort out my emotions and thoughts when I know nobody else would understand. I think a lot of people talk to themselves, more than you think. Of course, doing it constantly, like 24/7 and in public...that would be a bit too much.
Eccentricity is a good thing in certain quantities. Normality is such a bore anyway. Weird is entertaining and fun. Laughing at random times is also okay. So really, all three things are fine to a certain extent. But someone who's constantly laughing at nothing or talking to themselves or eating crayons or something...well, I dunno.
