I don't know what to do. i don't want people to think Im crazy. I don't think theres nothing mentally wrong with me. I don't talk to people about the voices I hear cause they won't believe me or they will tell me to ignore it. I can't ignore it, its scary and loud. I can't sleep most of the time and Im paranoid. Im always looking around me cause I think evil spirits or demons are after me. I've seen shadow people since I was 9 years old. I also saw a lady with stitched lips and eyes, she had long curly hair and pale skin, I think she was a ghost or demon. Theres also this black cloud following me in my house

I also hear people talking all day, but I don't understand what they're saying. I heard a voice tell me I was going to hell once. I hear raging screams and growling all day. Whatever it is is scaring me. the voices are so loud I can't concentrate and I start shaking with fear. I hear something screaming like its angry at me. sometimes it sounds like its in my head or sometimes it sounds like its in the room with me. sometimes when I close my eyes I hear screaming.

I get paralyzed whether Im awake or sleep and sometimes I go blind. I always feel an evil presence in the room with me. A couple of hours after I prayed one night, I heard something growling & screaming angrily at me. It was loud & scary, but no one else heard it. The shadows I see moving around my house scare me too. I feel like something is watching me all the time & I see weird things out of the corners of my eye. I even felt something jump through my body once & I could it hear it breathing loud. I've seen black matter/ a cloud floating around me. This is so scary Ive cried and I don't know what else to do

Ive been doctors and no matter what all they will say is that this isn't real and Im just hallucinating. I don't even know if a priest or church will believe me. Im scared to be alone. I think theres something spiritual after me. my mom thinks I shouldn't be scared and she thinks theres something wrong with me and she won't listen. I don't do drugs or drink (link)
You need to see a priest. As many as possible. Heard of Cherokee Peters the seventh say Adventist organisation? Get in touch with them cause this is a spiritual malady. I'm so sorry for you!


I am a 14 year old girl and in the 8th grade. My family is very religious. My sister got straight A+'s in every year of school and college. I am trying to do my best but my mom says that im not trying at all. Whenever I ask her if she wants to do something with me she says she is busy but when my sister asks she says ok.

One more thing is my mom doesnt let me do anything!!

I wanted to watch a movie called Hocus Pocus, and my mom said it has witches and magic, and the bible says to stay away from it. (She also got mad at me because I started singing the spell/song, from the movie. When i was 5!!

I wanted to watch Harry Potter but she said no because the bible says to stay away from wizards and magic, and vampires and wolves. I looked and it only said evil!

Today, I drew a charachters name from Harry potter and my brothers And my mom got mad at me.

They also moniter my Fb account and made me give them the password to my email and FB account.

I feel like my family hates me!!! What do i do??!!


Any and all advice is appreciated. Thank you! (link)
your mum and family want the best for you this is what they believe and you need to respecu that.your mum might spend more time with your older sister because shes older her and your mum maybe more similiar in their views.ask your mum what shd was like when she was your age what her interests were.its not that harry potter is neccessarly evil your mums putting down firm guidepost and you need to respect that.harry potter seems harmless enough thou its going into a territory that directly opposes god and what he stands for your mum only wants the best.


my sister who is 22 went to jail for a year for fraud related charges. If I commit the same crime what is the likelihood I will be sent to the same place? I don't want her to be all alone in there. I am 18 year old and female as well. Also, it is a non violent crime and only a year so it doesn't seem too bad (link)
first she might be in the youth wing and thats not so bad..your sister did something wrong shes doing the time so maybe shel learn.girl if u did go to jail theres a big chance theyl separate you so u wont be in same win.prisons not so bad as long. as sge keeps her head down.send her letters and money for sm6kes and visit her !be glad shes not from down here in nz where smoking was taken as a right from prisoners that sucks!


She threatened me with it yesterday. I don't know if she was serious but I'm a bit nervous about it.

LOL thanks mate that funny!no seriously maybe u cld take it up too.!or talk to her..very embarrasing let her know thereSERIOUS consequences if she abuse thiis tel mum and ask if both cld talk to her...


Hello Advicinators. I am a 13 year old female living in the midwest region of the USA. I'm bullied quite frequently at school, and I want to stop going to tis school for that reason. I've never gone to another school but I feel that it may be better. When I was 11 I started cutting myself to deal with everything. My parents are recently divorced, my mom does drugs and so does my grandma, and my dad can be lazy so I always have to take care of my younger sister, who is 11.
I am very unhappy with my life. I feel ugly and fat, worthless, used, scarred, and that i do not deserve the very oxygen that I am breathing. I have tried some medications but they don't seem to work very well. In short, I'm done. I can't fix me. I've can't stop cutting. I've lost all hope. I think about suicide constantly. I tried twice before. The first time I cut was 1, the second I took sleeping pills slit my wrists in the bath. I am seeing a phycaiatrist. I hate her. I feel as if people only put up with me to get what they need. Help me know why I am like this. I want to stop tis but I don't have anyone to talk to. Don't just say Oh your beautiful and you shouldn't kill yourself (link)
your n6t in a gd place .if u hate your psych tell her she has your interests at heart your only 13 u dont deserve any of it.look after your sister stick with her cause shes probly feeling the same.


I'm a 13 year old girl. I'm in a long distance relationship with a 16 year old guy. I love him, but i really don't feel like talking to him, and i don't really have any emotions at the time. I'm not happy, sad, mad, or anything. I just feel nothing right now. I want to cry right now, but i can't, and like i said i'm not sad. I don't know what to do. Am i depressed? (link)
i would guess it is.your not old enough to be in a relationship with this gu.at this age 3yrs makes a lot of diffrence.ur feelings r telling u something isnt right. break it off


My house is located on the corner of two streets. Lets call them A st. and B st. So image a capital T and A street is the short horizontal line and B street is the long vertical line. It's right at the corner. My house address for example is 4323 B Street. but my mailbox is located on A street. So, from a more logical standpoint, the address should have been listed as 4323 A Street, why in the world my mailbox is on the wrong street, I don't know. But how do I fix this problem? My packages go to the house across the street from me, and it's troublesome to run over and pick it up. There have been some packages that weren't delivered even though it was marked as delivered, and there's no saying that the house across from me stole my package or not. Would it be inappropriate for me to begin labeling my address as 4323 A Street without paperwork? The local mailman knows where my mailbox is, the only issue is when Fedex and UPS delivery come in. What do I do? (link)
of course!where the mailbox is use that.its called posbox address.not street address-if its a package addressthey r after they neednt know your street addres.


Okay, I am a girl in 8th grade, 14 years old. My friend heard this boy telling his friend that he liked me. I dont really like him that way but before i found out he told my friend to leave him alone because he already "had someone." he said this while staring at me. He was dating another good friend of mine and dumped her cause she had a flat chest. He is seated close to me in all of my classes and just today my friend found a picture of a girl without any clothes on and it said printed by; and his name. He also got my friend alone in a room and starting proposing gross stuff at her.(before all this) He is always staring at me and its creeping me out. And I can't tell the principal because they say "deal with your own problems."

What should I do?! I would really appriceate any and all advice on this, and I am so sorry it's so long!

Thanks!

deal with your own problems ?what kind of advice is that.no if you have a problem you need help with an adult is always there first instinct is correct!leave the guy alone sounds dodgy!


my mum never cares about me she pretends i'm not there and she only cares about my brother so i ran away all the way to the big shops i walked home again and my mum was on the computer what do i do (link)
first off how old are you?


I am being neglected by my husband since d day of marriage though I was his own choice. Later I came to know he has never forgot his former wife and son.he regularly talks with his wife & discusses with his friends even today how he misses her. He married me just to show her that he can marry a better girl than her. Secondly since his childhood it is his basic nature to neglect his own family & to devote himself to do anything for his friends' families. Because of same negligence his former wife divorced him. It is only after their divorce that he has grown interest in her. I know everyone will say that he is a good person to devote himself for the sake of his friends & there is nothing bad in maintaining a friendly relationship with his ex- wife. But what about me? Why shall I not get his company , love & affection? I am tired of severe loneliness & negligence.Plz tell me d ways so that he becomes homely, love me & keep no contact with his former wife. I am so depressed that I pray to God for my death everyday. I have tried to commit suicide twice but I have not died. Any discussion with my husband is useless. I care him & show my affection to him as many ways as I can. But all are in vain. (link)
ask him strait out "do u wanna be with me"if he says yes tell him you want more affection.if he dosent want to move on start making plans for you to move on.do u wanna be with a guy like that the choice isyours.


18/F

I know I have social anxiety. I always have. My heart starts pounding, I get short of breath, and I have Tourettes, which also tend to go out of control in social situations so I'm standing there listening to someone and my body's twitching all over the place. I used to make my friends take up my papers in school because I was too scared to get up in front of everyone. Even getting picked on during class to answer a question made my face get really hot and my chest all tight.
I even do it over the Internet! If someone tries to chat me on Facebook, I get super nervous and spend at least five minutes trying to think of something proper to say, but then I feel like an idiot because when I do manage to finally speak, I always put my foot in my mouth. I know there's always going to be someone in the world who won't like me, but I guess the idea of that freaks me out so much that I try and please everyone when we first meet.
It doesn't help that this is preventing me from a job search. I hate using the phone because I start to stutter over the phone and at my last job interview, my mind drew a blank so I was stammering and tripping over words and saying extremely stupid things.
I have a therapist that I'm talking to, but I honestly don't think it's helping me overcome this. And it's so hard to force myself, because I know that I may get pumped up and ready to say something, but once I'm faced with the situation, my mind goes blank and I'm left stammering and picking words out of the air.
What I want to know is if there's anyone else with this problem, and what they may do to ease the suffocating sensation in a social situation because I'm never going to be able to get a job or make new friends this way. In fact, I think I'm losing some of my friends because of the way I talk when I finally get around to socializing. (link)
it gets better but you need to look at your self talk to dont overdramatise catastrophize a situation and think of things in shades of grey terms cause nothings for certain that kind of self talk can be helped by cognitive behavioral therapy with a psych


Lately, I've been really struggling to control my anxious thoughts and compulsive tendencies. I recently started working at an internship and have great difficulty forcing myself to go due to the anxiety I feel by the social obligation it requires. As a result, I am often absent during the week. I am always worried about what people think of me or if people are judging me. During times of great stress, I feel like running away. This is irrational and unrealistic seeing as my savings have been greatly reduced in order for me to finace working at this internship, which happens to be unpaid. I'm not currently on medication nor am I seeing a therapist because I don't have health insurance. Another factor that concerns me is my age. I am twenty-six years old and still living with my parents. I feel like I'm not advancing or progressing in life because of my anxiety. I often seriously think about running away but I know this is irrational, illogical and unrealistic given that I don't have enough money to support myself. I worry that I'll never fully be able to care for and support myself like everyone else does. Everything in life, especially social interaction, is very difficult and strenous for me. I currently have $250 in my savings account--I know most of the responses will try to dissuade me, but I would like to know if there are any options I can pursue in order to move forward with my life. I'm thinking about possibly going into the airforce; I know it would be a great challenge but they provide housing and a stipend every month for food. Plus, I'd be earning money and living independently. (link)
You need to find counceling options available in your area the most common and best treatment of social anxiety(social phobia )is Cognital Behavioural Therepy this could be in a group or individual would the government health department pay in your area?ask your doc anyhow and medication like a low dose of antidepressent wil help ask your doc its important you get help cause this is one of the easiest mental illnesses to overcome get it treated asap


This is just a random question....But is there a word or name for someone that is in denial of their feelings/affections towards someone? For example someone that won't admit or accept they love/care for someone else?

Thanks to all that help! (link)

I am in my early 80's and in fairly good health. My husband died 5 years ago. WE had a good marriage and had two children. My daughter has been living with me for almost ten months due to a change in jobs and some monetary problems.She is a single mother whose daughter(my granddaughter)has just finished her first year of college, and is now living with me as well. I have a good sized house so that they each have their own rooms. Here is the problem. I have been extremely independent even after my husband died. Now I find that I am cooking, changing much of my routine and lacking my privacy. In addition, while I am NOT a cleaning 'freak' I do resent their rooms looking like pig sties. My computer is in one of the rooms so I have to use the room at times.My daughter is very generous, paying for theater,movies and dinners out, but, the stress is definitely raising my blood pressure. I love both my girls and want to help them out, but I feel really stressed. They don't understand how big a change this is for me and they don't see anything wrong with using the floor and bed as dresser, desk and kitchen table. I DO NOT want to fight with them. What do I do> (link)
maybe u cld leave this on the computer for them too see. do they have anything to put there stuff in? talk to your daughter tel her your not used to cleaning up after people and you need help.set up a cleaning roster..or everyday someone has their own routine,call it "the ___family routine" and stick it on fridge?that wld be cute


20/f Recently, my boyfriend has told me he wants to focus on our future more, and that he wants to be more interested in the things I'm into. He emphasizes that it makes him happy just to see me happy. He has never been so vocal about it, and claims he is more mature because he has stopped masturbating so that he can wait for me to please him. He feels as though he is more mature, and that he is more attentive because I control when we have sex, pleasure, etc. When he said this I was very shocked, in a way insulted. I need opinions,I don't know how to feel.. (link)
feel loved..


I know that advicenators.com keeps information about suicidal people confidential, but I believe that if the person who asks the question is seriously suicidal, threatens to commit suicide until he's successful, or leaves a suicide note, his info must be handed over to professionals. This is the only place where their lives could be saved. I don't know how this could be worked out, but I believe this is a very serious responsibility. (link)
that would be a serious breech in privacy.its the internet who knows who could have you number there has to be strict rules.

I don't honestly know what to do. This guy made me feel really special, and it wasn't just in a friend way, he would use the words beautiful, babe and much more. I really fell for him & when I told him... He stopped texting me, he would ignore my messages because obviously he would of read them. He still acknowledges me whenever I see him, like with a smile. But avoids the question whenever I tell him how I feel (I've told him more than once) but it seems like I'm not getting anywhere. The only thing I could think of was telling him in person, so from across the room I mimed “what's wrong? Don't ignore my messages. You need to tell me where I stand” he was saying he couldn't hear me, and kept repeating what? I kept frowning and then laughing, then he started laughing. (I'm a teen at school also) when I got out of the room, he was stood with his friends so I didn't say a thing. I don't really know what to do? I never have a chance to speak up front. Now that I'm no longer at that school, I will hardly see him. Can someone please tell me what could be the possibly reasons for why he's done this? What I need to do, to possibly solve it? Please, that would be a massive help. (link)
hes playing hes a boy and not taking you seriously dont take him serious either
