ok so here's my problem, I can't stop thinking about like death and when the world is going to end. Like, I always thinnk about what happens when you die..I mean like, do you become a ghost and stay a ghost forever and ever and ever, is your spirit just gone and like what happens? your just gone away and never return?!! and like the world ending. because like of the tsunami and then 9/11 and hurricane katrina. All those things were in the bible, and they happened!!I HATE IT! I always get scared when I think about it but I can't stop! Please someone tell me how to stop thinking like this!! Is it normal? Does it mean I'm crazy?! I want to stop!!

1)stop thumping the bible
2)purchase a life.

I have a problem where i eat WAY TOO much! but i hate the way I feel afterwards and last spring I stopped eating completely and I loved the way I felt and looked but when i went to camp i just started eating again.... All I can ever think about is food! I'm not fat! (I was actually voted hottest younger sister by my older sister's guy friends!!!) But I'm just uncomfortable with the way I look. I'm on the shorter side with huge boobs that make me look thinner then i am but still... I want to feel thin! HELP ME!!!!

being annorexic isn't pretty.
and it gives you weird body/facial hair

you need some help. from a professional.
that's not right.

I get really bad headaches all the time..i take advil and they go away..should i go to a doctor and see if there is anything wrong with me?


14/f is that helps

Well this could have a few causes
stress
bad eye site
or just that sinus bullhonkey.

a lot of docotors can't do anything about this, because most headache medacine isn't tested/prescribed for anyone younger than 18.
but, if Advil takes them away then keep that up.

I am a dark, pessimistic, negative person. I feel totaly hopeless and that both the good and evil forces are against me. I try to be the positive, outgoing type, but that realy isnt me. Im realy pained inside with doubt and hiddin secrets. I have a crush on someone and today I was thinking about the girl, the way she acts when I flirt with her, the way she is so outgiong. Those happy, warming feelings turned cold. I have been doubtful about myself, I feel like I cant start a close relationship, not even a close friendship. Its more than that, but it would take forever to explain things. I feel weak and helpless. Can you help me?

Only you can help yourself.
God I sound like Dr.Phill.

As I say
Think of the future. Don't dwell in the present.

But yeah. I kind of feel for you on this one.
But only you can make yourself outgoing. And only you can make yourself feel "happy"

Stay strong.

how do i tell someone that is cutting themselves that what they are doing is very dangerous, without a confrontation?

You could go on google and look up some information.
My friend did this and I just upfront stopped. But you have to let this him/her know that you'll be there.

I am a former self-injurer, and I finally stopped cutting at the end of 8th grade (I'm going into 9th). I've been happy since the end of 8th grade and haven't had a reason to cut, or I'v refrained myself from cutting. But that's how I deal with stress. And I'm afraid I'll relapse this year from stress. I've been to therapy, and I write a lot. Is there any other way I could possibly deal with stress that isn't destructive?

thanks in advance!

When you get in a mood, just pop in a CD.
I mean, that's what I do. Just sit there and listen to the lyrics for hours on end.

i have been cutting since 5th grade, im going into 9th now. I don't want to stop because i love the way it feels, and its the only thing that helps me to forget the things i dont want to have to remember anymore. Ive tried stopping before but i physically can not do it. Im so attached to it. But, i cant get caught anymore, and i hate the scars i have all over my body. can anyone help me..?

See now, I've cut before but my parents found out and shipped me off to an institution.
And that's what turned me around.
Sometimes the only way to get out of a problem is to let yourself hit rock bottom.
I know you're going to hear this a lot, but really you should start counseling and writing things out.
Ways to ease off is to get a red marker and just draw little stripes, and red food coloring to make it realistic.
Snap a rubberband when you feel urged. Or pinch yourself.

Yeah. Sorry if this all sucked.

i used to be a cutter right? And at some times i still am. I went through a lot in my childhood and am just recoving from a consequential 3 years of depression. But thats not the problem its this: i have this crazy compulsion with picking at my skin. it has nothing to do with cutting, and i dont think it has anything to do with depression. Like, i do it all the time, even when im happy. theres no emotion at all attached to it, except sum kind of bizzare need, i guess. i cant help it. i did it like a little bit before, but no its so much worse! once i start i cant tear myself away. i make myself bleed. i cause scars and i hate it. Does anybody know anything about this? Anything similar? Any ideas? i'll rate high for good answers.

That's called threading, my dear.

You probably have a mental disorder [Like the hair-pullers] and you can get medications.

But do what ever you'd like to do.

I hate myself. Does anyone have any ideas to stop a persons perceptions of things, or path of thinking change? I dont beleive in any kind of religion and i beleive that there is no reason to anything and that life and existance in general is just so pointless. If people live to be happy and content, yet are mainly overcome by other stronger emotions such as pain and anger what is the point of living? there is no afterlife its just nothing. why be afraid of something you wont be aware of. why bother searching for peace of mind which you already know you will never get. each and everyone of us are unique so no one is. no one will remember me when i die because i have had no impact upon anyone. i have achieved nothing and have had nothing able to be achieved because of how many billions of people in the world that are better then me. nothing has meaning me running around in an endless circle compared to going to school and learning are of about the same value. .. should i get help?

You nihilist

I am 13/f and my parents won't let me remove the hair on my legs. I do anyway but only with a temporary razor that doesn't belong to me. I know why I can't remove hair from my legs, but I want to anyway. My parents are also overprotective and won't let me go to the store with my friends and know parents. If my friends parents see me buying a hair-removing device they will forbid me and tel my parents. If I buy a hair-removing device and my parents catch me they will kick me out of the house (I should know). How do I get a hair-removing device without my parents knowing? Please don't say buy it from a friend or walk to the store!

Heh, hair removing device, hah.
Any who
Your parents could be voted fags of the year.
Sit down and ask them if they want to raise a good daughter and you don't want this damned hair on your legs!
Ask to borrow a friends or something.
