I've had Depersonalization Disorder since I was 12 (I'm 13 now). I can't handle it anymore... My mom knows about it, but she doesn't know what we can do for it.
I have severe anxiety and paranoia, so I'm guessing that has to do with something. I am willing to take medication, but I'm not sure what to take... For anxiety? Paranoia? I can't take this anymore. Also, do you think medication can even fix this?
Thank you... Any answer will help.
P.S. Yes I know you guys aren't doctors, but this is pretty much all I have.
I have an anxiety disorder-diagnosed, so it'd be interesting to hear your symptoms.
What Light of Truth may not know is that doctors are reluctant to give young people medication for anxiety etc, because they're very addictive, and if they stop working well-its short of a nightmare.
So the best thing you can do is cope. Anxiety is something you can not control. It is part of who you are, and it will always be with you. If it is anxiety that you have, then you need to get this diagnosed as to which type it is.
If its GAD (generalised) I can help.
You need to cope with it. You may be referred to a consellor like I was if its serious.
No you wont have experience a panick attack before because science has proven you can't untill you're 16/17, due to hormones.
Try the buddist philosophy of 'mindfulness'. Meditating, and taking time out to do so every day is the key to coping with your anxiety and leading a successful life.
You have to be committed. I know some people may snort at the idea of meditation and positive thinking etc. But the reality is it works.
Find some chill out jazz/classical music, and just lie on your bed, letting your mind wander. When it wanders from not concentrating on the music, bring your mind back to the music again.
Visit 'moodjuice' their website has lots of help for you. In the meantime I'd book in to see your GP again. Perhaps they can get you some counselling.
I only know about anxiety. Paranoia is often linked with schizophrenia. This doesn't develop untill late teens, early twenties-so its impossible for you to have this.

I am giting marrid nexted year & want to have sex now but dont know what to use to keep from having a kid. What is the best to keep from having a kid?
PS I am 17 about to be 18.
Well the best protection is to not do it at all-but this protection seems to be overlooked by everyone.
You should use a combination of things so its 100% effective. Like a condom and the morning after pill/birth control pills.

Hi, I am a 14 year old girl. I am going into ninth grade(high school for me) and my school starts next Monday. I signed up for journalism and computer editing classes but I would like to know what it takes to become a graphic designer(bachelors degree) I am very creative and I am an introvert but I think I would be a great graphic designer. So what classes would I need to take in order to become a graphic designer(bachelors degree). Thank you in advance!! (:
Rahzie has got it covered.
But...
This market like the job market on the most part is very competitive. I'd therefore suggest you also
volunteer in your chosen profession.
It gets you noticed, and will help you get into Uni/get a job, above the competition.
It'll really give your CV a boost, especially as you say if you're an introvert. Then, your CV can speak for itself!

So I know you're American-I live in the UK which is why the above site was British, but still it looks like you can work from home?
Try asking charities.

There is this guy that I just can't stand. Another problem is that he works with me.
That has nothing to do with it though because I knew him before that. I just can't stand this person. He's not even particually mean to others, he's just very full of himself and talks down on everyone in and outside his job. I would just ignore him but obviously I cant. I dont know how to deal with it. I am not the only one who doesn't like him. He even told me that basically noone really wants to be friends with him. I tried to be his friend when I met him but it's just impossible for me. How can I deal with this hate towards him? I seriously wish to see him suffer sometimes. I just cant stand him and I think that I literally hate him.. How can I deal with this?
I think the advice giver below me is a little immature.
You'll get nothing out of acting like a middle school kid by being like 'I hate you'. Great. Fabulous. But what can the other person do about it?
I think you need to realize that you don't have to love or even like your colleagues. Unless he is bullying you in any way, you are still required as part of your employment contract to maintain a civil relationship with your employees.
To be honest, he has probobly sussed you don't like him, and probably doesn't want to be 'friends' with you either.
So yes, be civil with him-otherwise it can lead to workplace bullying. Then he'll be the one laughing, because you'll be the one out of a job.
I don't see how going up to someone and saying 'I hate you' is going to achieve anything at all, beyond making you look like a teenager.
You may not like my advice, but imagine how you'd feel if the boot was on the other foot? Like crap.
He may talk down to you, but that's the reality of work, I'm afraid.
Within that social norm, he can. It happens.
What is wrong though is bullying in the workplace, or being singled out and ignored (ignoring is a type of bullying). If you are being bullied by this man, speak to someone. If it gets to the stage where you think this man is being bullied, speak to someone.
It'd be beneficial to learn the psychology of thoughts. They are there. You can not control them, but you can acknowledge them. Its like if you feel yourself about to cry, you can acknowledge that thought is there, but you can then make the conscious decision whether to act on the thought or to just let it pass. That's what you have to do to 'cope' here. Learning to deal with someone like this will make you a stronger person in the future. But don't copy him by putting him down too. You're better than that.

13-f
So yesterday I was in the restroom, and I was kind of wasting time by playing on my phone and sitting on the counter near the door. I had the shower running, but it was right in the middle, so it was just room temperature water. There wasn't any mist or anything, because the mirror wasn't fogged up, and I had the fan on and my 'eva-dry' machine was on. (I was alo only in my panties)
I was texting when all of a sudden I kind of felt sick, like a 'I feel like I'm going to puke sick', and I set down my phone because I almost started gagging-- this was after about 15 minutes. And thats when I stood up. You know when You stand up too quickly and everything goes black for like 5 seconds? Thats what happened to me!! But wayy way worse. I was facing the counter and My legs felt wobbly and I collapse and busted my chin open on the counter, so I triend to stand up, but I was in a bit of shock and couldn't really stand up right (everything still had that dark look to it, too) and I fell on my bum and hit my head on a cabinet, so I just kinda fell asleep for a few seconds. When I eventually got up, I still felt that feeling where I stood up too quickly and everything had that black frame around it, so I got into the shower, and it was cold, but it felt good because I was really really hot.I put in shamppo but I put in wayy too much and dropped the bottle, and I kindof washed out, but I couldn't really tell. Then I got out of the restroom quickly and walked to my room, and collapsed on my bed and fell on my bed, and I put on a blanket and the feeling went away. I looked at the clock and this had all happened over 33 minutes. What happened???? more info- I'm 13 ,female, 5'2, around 90 lbs., and this has never happened to me before, also it was right in the morning at 8:00 and I hadn't eaten yet.
It could be diabetes, but if it was you'd collapse and not get up after the splitting the chin part-no energy at all.
I think it sounds like exhaustion-though none of us are doctors on here.
You can collapse with exhaustion, and its true nausea is one of the symptoms. You see, its so severe that you actually feel ok, but then it hits you like bricks.
Its worse than fatigue.
http://www.medicinenet.com/fatigue_and_tiredness/symptoms.htm
Anyway, I'd suggest you rest up in bed-take a day out to just do NOTHING. Give your body a break and you'll soon be well again. Obviously if it happens again you need to speak to your doctor.

First off not sure if this goes in this section so I apologize on that.
18/m
First and foremost please do not tell me that I am under age and should not be drinking. I am very well aware of the fact. I came here for an answer to my question not to be lectured.
Last summer when I was 17 I went to a party and didn't have anything to eat and I ended up drinking a lot. I felt like throwing up at one point but never did and was hung over the next morning.
I have not drank since except for beer. Whenever I have tried to drink any alcohol besides beer I immediately feel sick and like throwing up. Ever since that party I have been this way.
Will this go away so I can enjoy drinking again or will it just stay?
I would like to over come it so I can enjoy drinking at a later age again and at college and parties. I am responsible and do not drink or drive and try to limit myself.
Thank you for any help!
In the UK (where I'm from) you're not actually under age-lol!
If you're drinking on an empty stomach-that could be what's causing the throwing up. This happens to me all the time.
Make sure you eat something before, but crucially eat something afterwards. This is what diabetics (myself) have to do, to absorb the sugary drink.
It depends what you mean by enjoying drinking. A few glasses then yes, no issue. But, as you know, downing it in one go, like you do in a shot, can make you ill.
So yes the key is to eat abit of food with it-because the hydrochloric acid of your stomach reacts badly to alcohol.
Weird random tip: Don't drink through a straw! The air content is reduced and so the alcohol content is higher.
Take care :)

Yeh she is to an extent a natural beauty-you or a friend?
Anyway, she could be made even more pretty by doing a genuine smile-the eyes are not crinkled at the side and are not hooded over, so it doesn't look like she means the smile.
For me, someone is at the prettiest/most attractive when they are genuinely smiling and having fun.

I am a black female, so keep this in mind haha. I want to grow my hair out, but I don't know where to start. I am cuban also but my hair texture is that of any normal black person. I don't know where to start any suggestions that pertain to my hair is welcome. Thank You!
When you shampoo your hair make sure you really massage the scalp, this will stimulate hair growth.
I take Biotin-you can get it from any drug store. Just make sure you drink lots of water if you take this though-works for me.

I work with a man who is 41, and I'm turning 21 in november. We've made plans to go out before but it always fell through. I really like him and something might happen with this but is he too old? He has one kid who is younger than I, and my parents are older than him, so I keep telling myself he's not.
......
Is this weird?
Its not weird, its just society sees it as unconventional.
In evolutionary terms, its completely normal though, and understandable. Perhaps the saying 'we want what we can't have' is fitting for this situation?
No one has the right to tell you who you can and can not be with any more-as you're legally an adult and so is he!
I think it comes down to what kind of relationship you and he want? To settle down? Possibly it could work. A quick short term thing? Forget it, its not fair on his child.

I am sooo ugly , how do I make myself prettier ? Im a female 14
Its all about confidence.
Don't worry- I'm 18 now but when I was your age I used to cover my hair over my face for about 6 months in public-I thought I was ugly!
Then I realized, there's a society ideal that everyone has to look like beyonce or whatever to be pretty.
I know how hard it is to not try to conform to this sterotype. When you're 14 you don't know who you are-so you copy the celebs so much that if you don't look like them you're ugly. Wrong.
Here are my top tips to make yourself prettier:
1) Beauty comes from within. Tell yourself you're beautiful everyday before you put makeup on/go to bed. Soon you'll start to believe it. If YOU don't like yourself, how can you expect anyone else to like you?
2) Find your favourite feature on your face. Work to enhance it. For me its my eyes. Do you have nice lips? Eyes? Or even it could be your hair. Make that the focus point.
3) Help others. Despite it being against our survival instincts slightly, helping others makes us very happy. If you feel happy, you'll loo happy-and very very pretty. It also makes you realise that there's more to life than worrying about looks, when you help people less fortunate than yourself.
4) Do you have a talent/hobby? If not, find one. It'll keep your mind off desiring to look good, and will keep you grounded.
5) Eat healthily and in the mornings opt for water not coffee. Caffiene dries out the skin, water makes it glow, and at the same time stimulates the metabolism.
6) Copy a celebrity style that has the same body shape as you. This is different to copying what they look like-its simply a fun way to learn about what colours/styles do and do not work for you. From then on, when you shop, look for say, pink clothes if that suits you, or floaty blouses-specifics rather than fashion trends.
7) Get good grades. Not trying to be patronizing,but when you're waiting for your results from major exams when you're older, the last thing you care about is what you look like. Concentrate on your studies now, because hey then you may actually be able to afford to look great in the future.

I'm a girl who is thirteen years old. I have always been somewhat annoying, but the most annoying thing I do is talk about my crushes nonstop. Everyone really hates it, especially my sister and my dad. I try to stop, but I just can't!
Right now, I have a crush on a girl I met at camp and a teacher. (I don't care that they are girls . . . I'm not the type of person who cares about gender.) The thing they have in common is that I might not see them again -- at least I won't see them any time soon. I'm going to a new school next year, so I won't be at the same school as my teacher. The girl I met at camp said she'll be there next year, but that is a long time away. I think the main reason why I talk about them is because I miss them so much, but nobody seems to understand that.
I don't want everyone to think I'm an annoying weirdo because of the fact that I talk about my crushes so much. Any advice on how to stop would be appreciated. Thank you.
When you talk about them so much, you begin to fantasize about them.
Perhaps if you realize that they'll never be as good as your fantasies, that'd be a start.
You'll drive people away if you carry on, just because everyone likes to talk about themselves, but other people don't nessesarily care.
You can either chose to stop speaking about them, or as a compromise make sure you remain less wrapped up in your business and more caring about your family and their lives.
Humans are hedonistic-as long as you give them the same attention as they give you, it shouldn't matter. Whereas if you only talk about these girls, and don't ask how your friends are etc, that's when they'll go.
The more you try not to think about something, the more you actually think about it.
Don't try to not think about these girls, but give yourself a certain time of day to think about them.

the tv program i have really grown tired of is the Big Bang Theory i mean my parents started watching that show from 2007 to 2012 i watched it too but later i grew tired of it and stopped watching it i really dont like the jokes on that show and i dont like how Penny Leonard Shelden and Amy and the others made fun of fictional characters and my parents brought up the characters telling everyone about them so any news on when it might be cancelled or maybe just when they might stop making new episodes like they did with That 70s Show

what does eating me out mean
I actually think your a girl. This is when (tell it like it is) a guy...um...likes the taste of your fresh discharge if you get what I mean.

am gay and i never do sex befor is it painful at the first time
I don't understand why you've been given lectures about your sexuality from the other advice givers.
If your a girl it hurts, a guy less so I think. But the real impact most people arn't ready for is the emotional impact it has. This is why its important to make sure you do it with the right person who loves you.
Then again, for gay people the dynamics are slightly different.

Hi , Im 13 years old , & Im 5'6 & I weigh 256 pounds . I am WAY over weight . I cannot go to dieting because I have a physical in one month so i NEED to loose weight before I go off the charts and I dont want him to yell at me . I literally just started making myself puke to loose weight . How long will it take for me to be average weight ?
"Don't give long speeches please"- we'll give you the advice we WANT to give thanks-remember we are volunteers on here.
When you're sick you puke up some acid and in that acid is cells that contain haemoglobin (which carries oxygen) Last year I came clean to my doctor. that I made myself sick, and he told me all this. Basically, making yourself sick can result in breathlessness and can put you at risk of having a heart attack. Stop it.
Okay, so you've recognised you have a problem and want to fix it. Your advise does not ask how to lose weight, it asks for how long it should take.
I'd say a two weeks before you start seeing results, providing you're committed and don't experience the common rebound effect.

If i touch my dick to my gf frnt hole vthout using anythng... is she 'll b pregnant........ if yes thn how we can solve the prblm
Yes, there's a chance she may be. You can solve this 'problem' of potentially a new life having been created by first ensuring you always wear protection and she takes the morning after pill.
If she is pregnant then what can I say? Time to step up to your responsibilities of being a supportive boyfriend.

Will my gf be pregnant.... uf i just touch my dick to his frnt hole only touch nt fuck.......?????
His front hole? 100% not.
If its a girl (next time get your his and hers right please) then there could be a chance. Especially if no protection was worn.

Do you mean the your anus that leads to your intestine, as opposed to the hole where the vagina is that leads to the womb.

I am having an issue with pay at my current job. I'm out of college and wanted to go into a field more relevant to my skills, so I left my first job and started a new one a few months ago. I was hired as an intern and after a week my boss told me he wanted to bring me on full. Unfortunately a client backed out from the company and my boss told me he could no longer pay full, but could keep me on as an intern. I was kind of stuck and took it, but he promised that he would bring me on full as soon as the company got a new client.
Let me make it clear that I am very aware that business is business, that nothing should be taken as truth until a contract is signed, that words are words and nothing more.
Two months later I'm still being paid just an intern stipend and I am beginning to look for other positions. In the meantime, my boss gets angry and yells at my coworkers and me if he disagrees with something--he's a micromanager. I get that, don't love it, but accept it. But he expects I put in full-time work, contribute full-time-quality, for intern-pay. So I'm doing the same as my co-workers but for a fraction of the salary.
How would you approach this? Should I sit down with him? I want to be professional, and I think being able to ask for raises is an important skill to gain confidence in. I think that legally something's amiss because everything I do contributes directly to the company, not for personal learning. I'm just nervous I could do something that would make him fire me. As much as my below-minimum-wage "stipend" is difficult for me to sustain on, at least it's *something*.
Something like this happened to my sister a few weeks ago-except she was paid too little money when she was entitled to a higher min wage because she turned 18.
Anyway, its illegal and you need to speak to someone in charge of accounts. Most businesses however small have someone who does the wages, not the business manager. Contact them-the business may be subcontracted, but that person who sorts the wages out does exist.
The thing is, to treat it like he's been too busy. That way you don't come across as all angry and instead you accept that its a mistake.
Are you on a contract? If so he can't just fire you. It gets tricky if you're on a zero hours contract-or indeed no contract.
But you're pointing out to him that he's breaking the law. I know you said that it was part of the conditions of taking you on, but an intern is not an intern forever.
So yes, speak to the accounts people about it.

Hey I don't know what to do. I am torn in half, not knowing what to do! Ok let me explain. I am 10 going on 11and I am going into middle school. I have 2sets of friends. The first set of friends have been with me for 5 years, Ariana and Ariel. Ariel introduced me to Ariana on the first day of school in my new school. They were my first friends in my new school. At first Ariana thought i was going to steal her best friend. After a month she relized I meant no harm and took me in. Although i was part of the group, i felt like a third wheel. they had knowwn eachother scince the day ariel moved into her house right across the street from ariana. Then in 4th grade, I was in a class without Ariel or Ariana. I had started to hang out with Elaine ,who I'd also known scince the first day of school but wasn't really close but now was in my class, and Laura , Elaine's best friend. Again I felt like a third wheel. In the beginning in 5th grade my older sister had snuck out and gotten drunk. She got arrested. My mom told me and I started crying. My mom told me she would only be gone for a day and I calmed down. I went to school and tryed to control myself. I accidentally let my tears fall in class and rushed to the bathroom. There in the restroom were Ariel and Ariana. They asked me again and again what happen but I wouldn't budge. They eventually said that they wouldn't let me leave until I told them. I did. They slap sweared they won't tell anyone yet the next day ally was telling everyone what happened. I asked her who told her and she said Ariel. I was furious. I stopped talking to them.elaine found out from other kids and only told laura.The day after that Ariana's mom dropped by and said she had to pick up Ariana's jacket that she left here. When my sis opened the door she was so surprised to see her she HUGGED her which is rare scince she doesn't hug anyone. Q:Hmm why would she come then to pick it up when I told her about it weeks ago? A: Ariana told her MOM. They both told someone when Elaine and Laura didn't tell ANYONE. The whole thing blew overand set 1 apologized a million times. Now it is back to the way before but now I have to pick between set 1 and2. Before you think I should choose set 2 listen to this: during the time I was furious at set 1 I was giving set 2all the juicy info on how much I hate them. After a while, I calmed down and told set 2i didn't mean what I said about set1. 2 months later, I hear word that Ariana got tp. She told me on their doorstep was a paper that said love ally. She said that she was framed because that week she was in France. Half a month before I hear that elain tells me she was going tping and she was going to put a paper that says love ally on the person she's tping doorstep. I asked her who she said i don't them. Why would Elaine tp Ariana when I was convinced they were the mature ones and the kids I should be friends with?why did she lie to me? Why would Ariana and Ariel also tell people?? HELP!! Ps. Elaine and Laura sort of make me jealous but they don't try to.
You're 10.
Too young to be on this site-it said so when you signed up. Or did you lie?
