putting things off
Posted Tuesday December 11 2007, 5:33 pm
I am the world's worst procrastinator. I'm really smart and I love to take care of people, but when I have to go out and get something done, I put it off and off and off. Like I just tell myself that I'll do it later and later and I always wind up getting things done quickly (though efficiently) at the last minute. I mean, it's not like my put-off project is a failure, it's actually very good in the end, but I have this tremendous stress on my shoulders from all the stuff I just take my sweet time to get around to doing. Any help please?

someone broke into our house!
Posted Monday December 10 2007, 7:24 am
Ok well, our house is FIVE houses down our school, safe area, and before I was born, my parents have been living there for liek probably 5 or 10 years longer!
And then one day my mom and us went to my grandma's house and when we went home, the second door was open (there's two doors in te front, a white one, and a see through one in front of it) and the lights are on.
We weren't even sure of what to do because this never happened to us or the neighborhood and frankly the visits from the police at our school to talk about us about these things didn't stick into our heads.
So..we decided to go inside.
We opened the door and there was this HUGE stick on the side of the house so we BOL...

Posted Sunday December 9 2007, 8:17 pm

THERAPIST PLEASE?
Posted Wednesday December 5 2007, 11:24 pm
I am 16 years old and I really want to see a therapist. I just need someone to talk to. I cannot ask my mom because she is simply a bitch and does not believe I have any issues. All she thinks of me is that I am a drama queen. Please, I all I need is someone to trust and talk to.

Extreme rage.
Posted Monday December 3 2007, 2:06 am
15/f.
I got really hurt by someone the other day and had a fit of rage. But...i didn't know what was happening to me. I was so full of anger that it felt like I could KILL somebody. It scared me....I started yelling and screaming and hitting myself. My eyes were like all red from the tears and anger.
It was ...its..indescribable. It really was scary. I'm afraid I might do something bad in the future because of it. What can i do? I'm usually a pretty content person :'(

very serious anxiety.
Posted Sunday December 2 2007, 12:06 pm
I'm a 15/f and I hate talking on the phone. I get really stressed out when I have to arrange a tutoring date with my tutor (who's an old man) I just CANNOT talk on the phone with ANYONE. I like it better on the computer where I can't see their face nor hear their voice. I get stressed out in social situations such as sleepovers, parties (especially PARTIES...I start to FREAK out) I just dislike them. I get extremely scared. I don't know WHY though. And whenever I have to talk to a teacher about my grade, I'd just rather not and I'd rather just fail a test or something. I CANNOT get over this. I always have a feeling that I'm being watched and that people are making fun of me.
What can I do?? D: GAH!!

a Phobia?
Posted Sunday December 2 2007, 5:58 am
This is going to be a strange question.. perhaps a little gross too.
I think I may have that phobia of throwing up. Yesterday I had my bf over to stay at my place for the first time. We went out for lunch that day and then out that night to a bar. Blah blah blah. After we got home he started feeling sick so I gave him an anti-nausea tablet and some water before sending him off to bed. 5 minutes later he threw up, didn't get to the bathroom in time so it got EVERYWHERE. As soon as I saw it all I started crying and screaming and I ran away. Got my mum downstairs to come clean it up while I stayed outside. When he came up I wouldn't go near him, I stayed away and spoke to him from a distance. I wouldn't even kiss him that night ...

Wrong Life
Posted Saturday December 1 2007, 8:09 am
Every thing in my life is getting screwed...
School: This b*tch in my class made fun of me regarding something I wrote in her year book and the whole class was cracking up...
Family:My mom n dad are expecting me to get really good grades so I've started studying six hours a day. My parents work till 9 in the night. So when they come back they shout at me and say that I dont study at all (Frustrating)
Love life: My mom doesnt want me to talk to the one guy I love is this whole world...
Its killing me inside and I cry practically the entire day (even as I write this)...I cant even concentrate on anything now...Any advice to make me feel better is acceptable...Thanx.

risky business...
Posted Friday November 30 2007, 10:50 pm
I hope this is the right place to put this question, it's the closest place I could find.
I realized recently that most of the problems in my life can be traced back to me not taking enough risks. I need to start taking more risks. Even the stupidest things, I can't do, I freeze up. How do I learn to take more risks?

Girls
Posted Thursday November 29 2007, 4:43 am
Why do girls feel the need to go out of their way to attempt to steal other's boyfriends? I don't mean these two week or one month relationships, I'm talking about 1 year+ relationship. They feel or have this extreme confidence, that they believe they can win over the guy. I just don't get it. Shouldn't they be happy that guys find them attractive and want to be with them? It's irritating me. I'm trying to be happy in my relationship but when all of these girls think my guy will cheat.. it's just.. asldkhlds! I don't know WHY i'm jealous. i don't go to his school but these chicks like him. he obviously doesn't get it sometimes. the little things she does.. irritates me. like when she sits in between his legs sometimes. not close, but in th...

Could you die from hanging your head upside down?

I was just wondering if you hand your head for a certain amount of time, could you die?
If so:
Does it hurt?
Does your head really explode?

extremely low self confidence
Posted Monday November 26 2007, 4:17 pm
15/f
This might be a mental illness of some sort, I'm not entirely sure.
I have a great lack of self confidence. I don't ever say I'm pretty, I don't ever show off. I don't really care. And that is why, when people attempt to compliment me, I just reject it.
As such:
person A: Oh! You look splendid today, dear!
me: fuck off. you're lying.
person B: nahh dude she just wants attention, leave her alone. she's a bitch
And then, person B continues in that same manner, spitting venomous words of hatred at me.
But that's the thing- I'm not lying. I DON'T think I'm pretty. I DON'T think I ever look good. I DON'T think I'm skinny/fit/whateverr. Even if I am, I certainly don't see it ...

Life exhausts me.
Posted Saturday November 24 2007, 8:35 am
I'm so exhausted by life, you guys. Do you ever just get tired of doing things? Of thinking and loving, and crying, and working, and watching.. just living. Everything you do - doesn't it ever just make you want to "not exist" ? Even the positive stuff, the bright side of life - it's exhausting sometimes, isnt it?
I just THINK so freakin much about who I want to be, how to be a good christian, how to get the good grades, how sad I am about my looks, how Im supposed to stop looking for love and recognition.. Is it possible to take a break from your brain somehow? Just STOP thinking for a while?
I understand that I have to keep functioning, doing what's expected of me (like eating, sleeping, going to sc...
