i lived in nc for a long time then i moved to pa. i recently came back down and all my friend told me how much weight i had lost. i thought it was really strange because i thought i had gained alot of weight. is it just in my head that i project myself as being heavier like when anorexic people look in the mirror and they see someone who's like 100 pounds heavier than they actually are?

anorexic friend
Posted Tuesday November 20 2007, 7:07 pm
I think my guy friend might be anorexic.
He's told me that he used to not eat, but that ended. But now, he's not really eating again. I don't know if he just doesn't eat in front of me, or if he's not eating at all. But I think it could be a serious problem.
What should I do?

OCD
Posted Tuesday November 20 2007, 5:46 pm
I am pretty sure I have OCD. I have a high amount of the symptoms of OCD. This is not a problem for me. I have a very mild condition, and often simply perform miscellaneous acts, like closing doors on my way down halls, subconsciously straightening books, desks, etc. I have not been officially diagnosed with OCD, though. The problem is, I get great anxiety on whether I have OCD or not. I stress constantly, and check every day to check symptoms, compare my symptoms with other anxiety disorders, and so on. I often get like this, checking over and over again for things like making sure my alarm clock is set, and check maybe 5 times a night. I can deal with this myself, but having to check to see if I actually have something wrong with me?

depressed...
Posted Tuesday November 20 2007, 5:38 pm
I'm very depressed and don't know what to do about it. I don't want my depression to go to far and me do something I shouldn't do. I know I'm depressed because I should be happy. I have a boyfriend, friends, even best friends, a decent family, and no money problems or anything. I mean nothing is really wrong with my life. The thing is my boyfriend cheated on me after four month of being together and I don't think I've gotten over it. We've been together for a year and something now. He's done little things like text messaging girls that he's had dreams about having sex with them, and stuff like that... The thing is I love him. I want get over this already, but I don't think I can. He's what makes me happiest, and I think the problem is that...

Slight anxiety?
Posted Monday November 19 2007, 7:51 pm
16/f. This year, I am taking very hard classes and I'm trying my hardest to do very well in them. This puts a lot of pressure on me- and I've noticed that much of the time I seem very anxious. I can't relax about anything- I can't sleep well, and randomly my heart starts pounding. It's not to the point of racing, and it's not like a medical condition, it's just like the "butterflies in the stomach" thing. The problem is, I don't have butterflies in my stomach... I'm just really stressed out all the time. I eat right, exercise, and I look and feel very healthy. Yet whenever I have a lot of homework to do or anything, when I think about it I start to feel really weird, uncomfortable, and sometimes even shaky, as if I had just...

Important dream
Posted Sunday November 11 2007, 10:53 pm
I always have this one dream when something very important is going to happen to me. Whenever it happens it means something will happen, A death, A relationship, Anything life changing.It scares me because I know something is gonna happen and theres nothing I can do about it. Im in my moms old truck and its completely empty, its rolling toward the ocean, I look out the window and i see myself with the girl I love, usually it is flashbacks of my life, Im laying there with the girl i love and i wave to myself, the truck hits the ocean water and i drowned, then i wake up. Every time i have this dream i understand it more, it hasnt seemed like it was gonna end till now. I dont know what that means, am i gonna die or will i help myself from the sinking truck?

Posted Friday November 9 2007, 8:09 pm
My neice is mentally retarded. We just found out. My sister was hysterical. My mom was crying. My dad was very mad/sad. I felt nothing. Is this wrong? I love my neice and care about her, but i don't care if shes retarded. I'll still love her the same. I feel bad for the troubles she will have to go through but i'm not really sad. Also i am kinda pissed about how everyone else is so pissed off. Is this good or bad and why am i feeling this way?
