I feel like i'm losing it...
Posted Saturday October 13 2007, 7:13 pm
I really feel like I'm going crazy. Two years ago when I was 12 everything was great. I had great friends and boyfriends or guys that liked me. Now, I'm really upset because I've lost my friends and guys don't like me. Anyways i'm really sad and I have a problem that's making me lose my freaking mind. seriously it is. Okay so I like this guy a lot. He doesn't like me anymore. But his friend likes me alot. I don't like his friend. Anyways the dude I like says im verry annoying and sometimes he's just plain mean to me. I don't know why either. I'm losing my mind thinking of all the reasons to why he hates me. I really like him though. A lot! More than what I've ever liked anyone. I'm just sick of not having guys that like me. I'm not ugly or ...

Mind torture.
Posted Wednesday October 10 2007, 7:06 pm
I can't handle this. My boyfriend of 7 months and I broke up a few weeks ago. Since the day we called it quits, I haven't been able to sleep normally or function in school. I'm constantly thinking about him or getting jealous over every girl he hugs. Its not that I even have feelings for him, its that I hate that he's happy and I'm not. I get headaches so much and I'm constantly battling with myself to stop thinking about him. I try to do things to fake happy to rub in his face, or to make him jealous, and nothing works. How do I get my life back and just forget about him?

Nagging Thoughts
Posted Tuesday October 9 2007, 7:17 am
I'm a junior in college and i'ts been a month now that I've been attending classes in my major.
I had a hard time picking my major because I was undecided between 2 majors (accounting and business) .
The problem is that when I come home and start to open the material we took in class that day, my mind keeps thinking " What if the other major is better?" " What if this major is really not for me?" "Should I switch to the other major (business administration) ? "
The thing is I don't know how to get rid of these nagging thoughts. Do you think that's a sign of my mind alerting me that I shouldn'
t continue with this major (accounting)since I've begun having second thoug...

Did you ever want to.
Posted Tuesday October 9 2007, 12:09 am
I'm 15f and I feel like everyone hates me. My brother came home today and said that my friends or my ex-friends wanted him to hang out with them. They never call me and they think I'm annoying. What is up with that? I'm not a bad person. why do people choose other people over me? All the time, too. It's so confusing. I just want people to like me for me. i don't want to be like my brother. He's all emo. I'm just normal and fun. He's just something else.

trichotillomania
Posted Sunday October 7 2007, 11:53 pm
I have a type of OCD called trichotillomania. It is very rare but I am absolutely positive I have it. My parents know that there was something wrong with me but didn't know it was an actual mental illness. It makes me pull out my eyelashes when I get stressed. And I go to a very competitive, highly stressful boarding school, which means I'm stressed ALL the time.
My trichotillomania (TTM) started in middle school and there was a point when I didn't have any eyelashes at all. Then, without any medical help, I trained myself to stop the urges to pull out my eyelashes. And they grew back.
But at the end of last year it came back! I have full eyelashes on my right eye, but half of my left eye has none! I cover it ...

I need mental help, but where do I go to get it?
Posted Sunday October 7 2007, 6:43 pm
I have mental problems or so I think I do. Sometimes I just want to give up because it seems easier to just freak out and let it go. I really don't know what to do though. I just feel like everyone is happier than me and there's not one person out there that's as sad as me. I think my mom wants to move away but that will just cause problems that means I have to start over. Which my fear is that nobody will like me and I'll have to be sad and stuff. Guys are really mean to me and I don't really understand why it's not like I hurt them in any kind of way. I don't want to move I just want a happy life.

Anxiety
Posted Sunday October 7 2007, 2:28 pm
What are some symptoms of anxiety? because there are some things that keep reocurring and I just can't stand it. i get so mad and so panicky over little things. It's like, if I don't get a 100% on this, I go crazy. Whenever I'm in a place that I don't want to be, like a store, I'll start crying in the middle of the store. Things like that. One thing that I find really helps me is excersising, which works great. But, I'm not sure why I'm getting so anxious. I start like hypervenalating during tests and things like that. There's another thing that really takes me over the top. I love my mother more than you could ever imagine. She's a wonderful person, and I'm definatley not here to talk bad about her in any way. But, ever since I was little,...

This may scare you and all but I'm fed up. nobody likes me and this guy said he hates when I'm around him so I'm going to starve myself until my body falls to the floor and I die. I have 7 more days of life what do you think I should do on those wonderful days of life that's left.

Holding things in.
Posted Thursday October 4 2007, 8:40 am
I'm one of those people who used to ALWAYS say what was on their mind and it always got me in trouble. now, i don't do that at all anymore, i learned my lesson. however, it's starting to be too much to hold in. like, i keep slipping up and speaking my mind, and sounding like a bitch and im starting to have those slip-ups like..everyday now. i just can't hold all this stuff in. when i say stuff i mean like feelings towards others and you know, stuff like that. like when i have a problem with someone i try not to say something. but lately i have beens aying something and im looking like a bad person all over again.
do you have any tips on how i can keep things in, without getting stressed over too much stuff kept inside?

god i hate living. it's been this way since i was 13- i have living. I can't stand it. I'm sick of waking up in the morning with nothing to look foreward to. Crying and eating is all i'm good for. Nothing brings me joy- absolutely nothing. I've tried everything- therapy, counseling, cutting... EVERYTHING.
nothing helps me.
i want to die so badly just to escape this living hell that we call life- but the problem is i can't bring myself to ever do it because i'm afraid of the freaking pain.
i don't have any friends or a boyfriend. no one knows me, if they did- they'd hate me.
i have depression/anxiety problems, ADD intattentive type, a metabolic disorder, and a so...
