I was having a really hard time two months ago and my mom took me to see a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with a mood disorder NOS (not otherwise specified). My mom took me to have some blood drawn to check if maybe the way I was feeling was because my hormones were out of balance. We got the results back and the doctor said it was all entirely hormonal (mainly thyroid). So I really don't want what the psychiatrist wrote down on my report or record or whatever it's called to stay there for the rest of my life. Should I call him and tell him what was really wrong so I can get that off my record or will it just go away if I stop seeing him? Will anyone else ever be able to see what he wrote down(like whenever I go to apply for a job or something)? (link)

Everything you say to your psychiatrist is 100% confidential unless it is harmful to yourself or others. Also, jobs can not look into your mental history, because that is discrimination. Whatever they diagnose you with, no one else will be able to see, unless you tell someone.
I advise you to keep seeing your psychiatrist as long as you're comfortable talking to them. They can be a lot of help too. Medications may possibly be given to balance the chemicals in your brain. =]

This is for any cutters out there.
Im an ex-cutter who is still stuggling.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could tell thier cutting stories.
Also mention the country you live in-this is out of curiosity as im an aussie and would like to know how much this happens in australia and other countries. (link)
| |
Im from pennsylvania, I am also an ex-cutter who still struggles at times. the first time my mom found out I was put in a hospital called kidspeace where i stayed for a week. after i went to an outpatient program. the second time i went to the outpatient program again. But the worst time was when me and my ex boyfriend and i were arguing they were the deepest so deep i couldnt even feel anything. honestly i think its really stupid but it just helps. i try to avoid it. im better than i used to be.

im 14/f and i have the symptons of bipolar disorder. i thought only older people could develop this order. is it possible that at my age i have this? (link)
| |
of course it is, any one of any age can have it. i am 14 also, ive had it for a while. its just how our brains function. we cant necessarilly control it ourselfs. we need medicine to help balance it. So if you are not being treated right now you should see a doctor =]

if i have a very addictive personality [cutting 3 years,ect.] how do i overcome this..and theres not more behind this story. doctors never diagnosed it as anything. also can anyone explain what an addictive personality is really. (link)
| |
its basically being addicted to something. as in cutting. its a bad habbit. but you have to stop it. or it will only get worse. like i said to someone earlier, think about whats bothering you and if its really worth hurting youself. maybe see a therapist too, they can give you medicine to maybe control it.

Ok so my family has a long line of ADD and ADHD. My mom is the only one in my family who dos not have it, but many people on her side of her family have it too. The problem is my school work is starting to go down a substantul(Sp?) amount because i am restles and i cant focus. I want to ask my parents about seeing the dr. My brothers and dad go to but im to shy they will think i am faking or something. The reason i know i have it is because my bro said that i act the same way he acted when he was not medicated.
Please help, soon. (link)
| |
Im sure they wont think youre faking it. tell them you want to get help, and that you cant focuz normally. and that you want that to change because its effecting you. Im sure they will understand then they will give u medicine. AND! suggest concerta. its great. it works right away it last 13 hours. i take it now and it helps alot.

here lately i have gotten into cutting myself. bad. i mean i dont go deep or anything. i just pretty much break the skin. but its gotten bad. like its all i think about. i started saturday and i was like i wont do it anymore. well i did it again last night and then 3 times today. how can i stop? ive told 2 of my friends and they tell me i need to stop, which i know. but its hard. help me? please dont tell me to get counseling, cuz i cant tell my dad and i cant go. (link)
| |
what you should do is think about why youre doing it ask if its worth getting caught and going to the hospital like i once did.. or should i say twice. if you dont get help now. it will turn into a big habbit. like you might stop for a few months but it will go again. like what happend to me. If you really dont want to go to counceling talk to me about it. i will help you as much as possible. tell you what they told me. or just tell your dad you been depressed lately, and u need someone to talk to, ask to see a therapist. dont tell him youre hurting yourself, just say uve been depressed and like to talk to someone other than him. tell him you would really appreciate it. then they can help you out. sounds like you are depressed though. they can give you medicine. and if u really dont want to get into a hospital dont tell them you cut yourself. just tell them youve been feeling depressed. and you sometimes dont wanna live. they will give you medicine to help you from getting those urges to cut yourself. but really think about whats bothering you, and is it really worth dying over. most likely it isnt.

i am a really nice person and i don't understand why so many people are mean to me...i mean i am really quiet and i don't bother nobody!
there is this person who is constantly putting me down and really hurting my feelings...i try not to let anybody know how bad he's hurting me....but it's really getting to me. you would think he would say it to my face instead of other people. i mean the stuff he is saying hurts me soo much....i'd rather be beaten physically than to have something killing me from the inside this much....
i really don't know what to do i just know i feel really bad about what's going on....espeacially when me and that particular person don't even know each other.....not to mention when he starts putting me down so does everyone else....
i know most people are going to say talk to him....but that's not an option...because if i talk to him i am probably going to get violent...because i am sick of this.
this is really really tearing me apart and i know you shouldn't let words bother you but after a while they began to really get to you and tear at you...what do i do? (link)
| |
what you gotta do is tell yourself you are not going to put up with him talking about you. show him that your not afraid of him and what he is saying is not hurting you. ignore him, dont get on his level. you should be smarter than him. laugh at him. he will get it that its not bothering you. dont look all sad when hes messing with you. just keep on smiling dont let someone like that put you down. talk to the school counceler if he threatens you, also tell your parents. maybe it will be better to switch schools, start over, and make new friends. if you need anymore help u can talk to me whenever. i will try and help as much as possible

i seriously need help. like i need someone to talk about stuff with. should i go to one of those counselors that you can tell all your problems in confidence with or is that not worth it? (link)
| |
it is definitely worth it, ive been seeing mine since i was 6 years old. it took me a while to talk to her about stuff. but i realized she wouldnt judge me at all. no matter what i told her. so you keep seeing them, and if people tell you its not worth it dont listen. it is great getting out all your feelings without being judged. also if u need someone to talk to when youre not there u can always feel free to talk to me. =]

I got my period for the first time in May. Since then I've only gotten it 3 times, and I'm still irregular. But whenever I get my period, I become sort of...disgusted with myself. The thought of blood coming out of my body disgusts me, and sometimes I see the little things of blood and I actually throw up. What should I do to become more comfortable with my body during this time? (link)
|
it is kind of a gross feeling or thinking about it. but you gotta remember its normal and happens to every other girl. Try to get your mind off of it. This might happen for a while until you are use to it. i know i felt really weird and grossed out when i first got it. but its normal so dont be so worried or grossed out

for a while now i've been thinking that i may have ocd. heres some of the little things i do, and if i don't do them then i want to cry and my stomach starts to hurt and i feel so guilty.
-when i eat something colored, such as m&m's, i have to eat them in a certain order. like all the reds. then all the greens. or red, green, red, green.
-when i lay on my back i HAVE to cross my right ankle over my left.
-when i shoot a freethrow i dribble it 3 times and then spin, drop, spin, drop.
-i have to take out my right contact, then left.
-when i eat noodles, i have to eat three at a time.
-when i eat something i try to eat it in numbers so that when theres quite a few left, the number left is how many letters there are in the name of the guy i like.
-i have to sleep on my left side.
-i HAVE to drink my coke with a straw, even if its in a can.
-i have to put my right rubberband on my braces before i put my left one on.
-i have to straighten the left side of my hair before the right side.
-whenever i pop a pimple, puss has to come out of it. [gross, i know.]
-when i stand, i have to bend my leg so i appear shorter than i really am.
-i save ALL my receipts and put them in order from the date of the receipt.
-i have to save all the little tear off price things from price tags.
-i have to save all my movie tickets and put them in order of the theater i was in.
there's more..but it's hard to explain some of them. do any of you think this could be a sign of OCD? i've told my mom, but she thinks i'm kidding, and it's making me upset. but maybe i'm just overthinking..? what do you think?

sounds like you definitely do have OCD. you should get help right away. Go to a therapist talk to them about it, im sure they have more experience with advice and can give you medicine so you can have a normal behavior.

what are some signs of depression? (link)
| |
some signs are wanting to die, crying alot, high blood pressure, not doing any activities, wanting to be by yourself, not acting as you used to. you should talk to a friend, or go to a therapist and talk to them if you feel no one will listen. and remember whatever you tell them they wont tell anyone else, unless you are in danger. they will just get you help!

i have a friend who's dad recently died. (the boy is 14) he was really close to his dad. his dad passed a few days before christmas and this night of his funeral was his 50th birthday. the boy's mother isn't really protective. this boy used to be in a gang...and had been involved with bad stuff. he is still in a gang...but wants out. he has one brother who is in it too...he's 19, and he is nothing but a bad influence. the boy knows i am worried, but he can't get out. i feel like now that his dad has passed that he is going to look up to his brother the kinda replace his dad. I am really worried. This has been bothering me so much. i wish i could have taken his dad's place, because i feel like nows the time he needs a dad in his life. does anyone have any advice. because i love this boy (i don't like love him as in bf or anything) it's just that i love him in a way that i would be willing to do anything to help him..and i would be heart broken if anything happened to him because he has been through so much. i love dis boy in a way that i would do anything to make him happy...even if that wouldn't include me. does anyone have any advice? any would be appreciated...srry it's long. (link)

you should tell him that he can talk to you about anything. tell him you are worried about him looking up to his brother because he is nothing but a bad influence. tell him what you really think. im sure he will appreciate it that you care alot about him. and might be willing to do so. tell him you dont think its a good idea to be in a gang. and it will just start a whole bunch of trouble, and might end up where is dad is, and you will miss him terribly. tell him you are there for him 100%. make him fell like he can trust you. and dont let him down!

Im just not happy.
And I just hate this weight issue.
and i dont know what it is.
its not anorexia.
Or belemia.
I just have an issue.
what the hell do i do??? (link)
| |
same thing with me. i think im fat, and tons of people tell me im fat. I also have a great bf, who is adorable =]. He is what makes me understand theres nothing wront with me. sometimes i look at myself and tell myself im not fat, and im pretty, because everyone tells me that. look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself positive things, thats what my therapist told me to do. it will work after a while. dont stress about your weight, just eat healthy foods. it will be all good. or dont eat so much during the day. Also, if people are putting you down dont listen to them. they are just really jealous they want to look like you. atleast weight yourself like once a week. thats what i do, so i dont get so worried. also exercising will help. be active!
