I think i may have OCD. (obsessive compulsive disorder). I seem to have like scary and gross thoughts and images in my head that I cant make go away and i get like obsessed over it and I cant concentrate. Another thing is I wont eat food thats over 4 days old even if it doesnt get old for another month. No madder what. Another thing is everything has to be clean. As in washed. Like my bes sheats. If they're not I cant sleep in them. Like ill obeses and I cant even sleep, or I wont sleep at all. There are so many things that I obsess over, and I get stressed over. Its so weird. I can name other things but does this seem like OCD to you? (link)
i have ocd and i am slowly working on getting rid of it. I have had it for 3 years and It got worse but now its getting better. now my councilor told me there are 4 steps you use each time a promlem i.e unwanted thoughts or obsessions come in your way.
1) Do i really need to waist my time with that stupid little thing in my head telling me that things need to be clean?
2)Oh for goodness sake, im not going to die and besides, its not me that is obsessing, its ocd
3) walk away and carry on with what you want to do. i.e- go and speak 2 someone for about 3 minutes. and then see if your erge has gone down to clean.
4) if it hasnt, force yourself to not let it make you wash or anything.

also... with the thoughts, pretend your mind is a window,, this sounds strange but it makes sence, a cloud DRIFTS past the window, just like a thought drifts into your mind. The window doesnt get anxious and scared that the cloud is there. so it ignores the cloud, and the cloud drifts away. so when you get an unwanted thought, let it come through your mind, and let it drift away. dont think anything of it. nomatter what it says. its not you who is thinking those thoughts, its not your personality its the ocd's

i'm 6 and 1/2 stone in weight
(that should help)

Ok. So i think i'm kinda going Anorexic. For the whole of last week and the weekend i've eaten a bit of a meal or food and i wanted to throw up. I never did throw up but nearly did.
It did get worse sometimes.
But i knew i had to eat so i was forcing myself to eat more every meal, but i couldn't.
Could you please tell me whether YOU think that's classed as Anorexia? or YOU think i have it?
Thanks. xo (link)
ok so you try to eat more. try snacking loys on fruit and ince cream. eat what you can and each meal you have, eat a bit more it might just be a mouthful of food each night that your eating extra. but as long as you eat a little bit more each night. challenge your self. and if you feel seick a good way is to concentrate on your breathing and take deep breaths. and i arent anorexic but i have a sort of same problem and im using that tachnique and it is working :)


13/female/australia
you probably read the subject and thought "she must be complaining because she is over weight" well i am not over weight i am under weight. I HATE IT! now ur probably thinking "what is so bad about being skinny?" well i am not skinny i am TOO skinnyi am as skinny as my 10 year old sister, and she is under weight for her age. The prboblems i face are: nothing fits me because all clothes are too big or made for boobs. I have NO boobs at all. people always ask me if i am annorexic. People call me "flat" and a "twig". ALSO i have a disease called Ceoliac disease, which means i cant eat gluten, and gluten is stuff like :wheat, flour, musly, oats, barly, malt, and MUCH more. that means i cant eat anything with bread on it (hot dogs, hamburgers, cakes) and all those things are fatty foods, so i cant get fat!!!! o cry nearly everyday because i know that guys arent attrated to my 'skinny-ness' and my 'flat-ness' i also hate being teased at school.
PLEASE HELP ME!!
what should i do to make my self fatter or happier or both?
sorry this is so long... (link)
dont worry about this. I think that you can try eating more foods that dont contain gluten. if that is hard then maybe you should ask your doctor. this doesnt mean just pig out on loads of chocolate but really try to eat lots of healthy foods and maybe twice a week a bar of choci. thats what i do. reply if that doesn't work


There's this girl in two of my classes who's somtimes...I say "picky" on others but in a fun way. But it seems that she's more "picky" on me, like a mean almost bullying way and it's hurtful sometimes and when i go home i cry. I'm pretty short but she's the shortest girl ever which makes me feel ashamed that i'm even offended, depressed, and intiminated by her.

Is this something..normal or would you consider this bullying? And what can i do about this? I'm trying to avoid her but it's very hard to since she sits 1 seat beside me to my left. (link)
I have had the exact same problem as you so i can relate. When she says something again that is picky, try to react as if she is the childish one i.e sort of giggling but at the same time saying thats mean. so she cant have a go at you for it because you sort of giggled too. now the last thing you want is to rise to her level i.e childish and low level bullying. So just try that first and she might think of you as not the one who is an easy victim. e-mail me on
i-need-help@hotmail.com i can then try to help you if my previous advice doesn't work :)


15/F
Not a tragedy, I just like alliteration.
Theres this kid in my gym class and hes my bestfriends OTHER bestfriends [aka, my ex enemy, now aquaintance] ex boyfriend. She broke up with him because he was willing to kiss another girl. I dont know the whole story. So he has a truthbox on myspace and I couldnt resist the temptation and said "I'm wondering if you're worth getting to know." Now look where that got me :/
For an entire straight week, thirteen replies later, he's angry with me! And hes STILL trying to figure out who I am. Why could this be such a big deal to him? He's one of the cool kids. He's probably not looking for a new friend.
He almost found out asking if my screenname had 'just' in it. Which it did, before I changed it.
But I feel soo bad! Id be humiliated and feel so stupid if he knows that it's me, but it'd be awkward more than anything. But I don't want to lie to him!
What should I do?? Just not reply? (link)
dont worry your not the only one. these things happen to everyone.Ok so 13 replys he has sent you and he is angry. put yourself in his shoes and think how he might think. At school, be really friendly with him but not too like... heya babez!!! just be smily n that and then he wont suspect anything and also, leave it a week of not replying and then say to him a week later, erm.. sorry about what i put first! mistake lol. hopefully things should go smoothly from there. contact me if they dont again xx


16/f and my boyfriend is 15/m

My boyfriend and I just started going out in August and his birthday is on October 22nd. I really have no idea what to get him. I know he loves baseball, but I don't want to be cheesy and get him something baseball-related. I also don't want to get him clothes because that's just something I'd like to leave to him. I'd greatly appreciate if I could have some nice (not cheesy!) gift ideas for him. Thank you so much in advance! (link)
wel.. not that i have much advise on relationships but i do know that you maybe could get him a box of chocolates or maybe evn just a photo of you and him together and in a little frame. sorry if this isnt what your looking for :)
