Cutting.
Posted Wednesday February 13 2008, 8:03 pm
I've been cutting for a couple years now but lately it has been getting worse. I told a teacher, who is my friends mom on terms that she wouldn't report me or tell anyone because she isn't a teacher 24/7 so I was talking to her as my friend's mom. Well that was fine but I told her I would try to stop and if it got worse we could get me help. So I was wondering how your mom / dad or parent reacted when they found out. Or what happens when you go to a school consulor. Thanks.

Should I see a psychiatrist?
Posted Wednesday February 13 2008, 4:47 pm
I've asked my mom about seeing one... I don't think she took me seriously and it's really hard for me to ask her about that (or about anything) so I want to know what others think first.
I used to be so optimistic, and hardly anything could get in the way of my happiness. I enjoyed every aspect of my life and accepted mistakes as ways to learn, and thought everything happened for a reason.
Recently, somehow I've changed. Sometimes I feel numb, like I just can't feel any type of emotion. My friends will laugh and I can hardly get myself to smile. Other times I'm just not happy. Sometimes I know why, but other times I will feel sad and not know why I feel that way. It's taking a toll on my family, friends, ...

ive been really upset lately
Posted Tuesday February 12 2008, 9:43 pm
hmm, where to start? Well, im a 13 year old girl. Everyone thinks that im this perfect girl, with a smile on her face everyday. But, on the inside i want to cry. No one knows that im feeling the way I am. I am so fake, that that makes me upset. Im like a prep. But, once I get home, I go upstairs and just cry. I dont know why this happens, or why im even crying. It might be because my friends are mad at me? That i got in trouble with the law recently and am going through that? That my parents dont trust me? That im failing school? hmm, im not sure. But I know the outcome is very upsetting. I cry myself to sleep, i've tried to cut but stopped. How though, im getting addicted to snapping hairbands on my wrist. And, ive wrapped my scarf around ...

My nerves can't take this anymore
Posted Monday February 11 2008, 8:05 pm
i really don't think that my nerves can take it anymore. I'm going to start from the beginning because I don't think you can fully understand the problem without understanding where it came from. It all started when I was about 13 years old. I go to an all girls school and have gone there my whole life. So, yes, it was a big deal for me to socialize with boys, maybe a little bit of an even bigger deal than it is for the average person. I'm not saying that I was boy crazy, it was just that it was important to me.. well to all of us that have been going there since we were little. But, that was the age I started talking to boys. I started talking to this one boy who really liked me. My mother sat next to me telling me everything to say and do...

feeling restless?
Posted Saturday February 9 2008, 3:59 pm
15/f
I recently started taking 5 mg of Abilify (mood stablizer), but i stopped it 2 days ago because I started to feel really anxious and antsy and jittery and restless all the time. I haven't had it since then, but the restless feelings haven't gone away.
nothing else has changed about my diet, etc.
what can I do to stop this? It's like i want to get up and run around in circles but I'm too tired/can't.

really long...
Posted Friday February 8 2008, 6:48 pm
Please help if you can... Lately I hate myself. I hate who I am and everything I do. Everyone sees me as a happy person who loves her life, but inside I'm torn apart. I cry nonstop anymore when I'm alone. Everything in my life goes wrong. The one person who I always trusted to love me and like me for me unconditionally(ie MYSELF) ... has given up on me. Yes..I've given up on myself. One of my best friends moved away a few months ago... she never let me know how to get ahold ofher... I just gave her my number and she said she'd called me... haven't heard from her since. Now my absolute best friend is moving. I don't know how I'm going to live without her. She's the only person who has every believed in me. After she leaves I don't know what ...

he hates me
Posted Tuesday February 5 2008, 8:55 pm
One guy that's in almost all my classes told me in 3rd period that he doesn't like me, straight up. I have no idea why he would even say that. We barely know each other, and I'm not but not bragging smart and I try to be a perfectionist but i'm not straight up, i just lay behind in like the shadows and am really quiet. He's really quiet too.
I'm sure that everyone probably hates some people for no reasons (we all admit this to ourselves) but it hurts so much that we don't even know each other at all and he just tells me that he doesn't like me. Worst of all, just straight up, face to face. And yes, he was serious.
I'm just so hurt and my esteem went down ten-folds. Is there anything i can do to make myself feel...

paranoia problem
Posted Tuesday February 5 2008, 11:10 am
I am having problems with a few things, but they all relate to paranoid tendencies.
At night, I have the feelings of someone trying to break in, or am scared that I am not going to wake up if we get broke into, or a fire breaks out.
Another problem, I am paranoid that my husband is cheating on me. Also, that he is trying to poison me to get me out of the way. I know that sounds nuts, but this is how I feel. It also feels like a conspiracy theory at times. I am always sick, and seem to be getting worse so. (I have been to doctors and had blood work, no problems with that).
Here's my question, does anyone know of any ways to help conquer, overcome, or cope with paranoid tendencies? Any help is a...
