Depression
Posted Monday September 3 2007, 12:37 pm
Sometimes I feel sad, and think life is not worth living. But I know killing myself won't be solving anything. My question is, is there anything (medicine wise) that can help me?

Am I too young to do this???
Posted Sunday September 2 2007, 4:31 pm
Okay so I want to know when my true love might come along. Because I've been searching and no guy is right, I always find a flaw in every guy. I want to find that one guy that makes me happy and doesn't turn me off. Not a lot of guys want to go out with me. I don't think it's because I'm ugly. People tell me I'm pretty all the time but it's just I'm 14. So am I too young to have a boyfriend? If so then when is it time???

Cutting
Posted Friday August 31 2007, 10:21 pm
This question is just to get opinions:
If someone you knew told you that they cut themselves, what would your first reaction be? Would you think they were crazy, would you try to help them, would you be scared of them, or what?

almost 15/f
I go to a boarding school, I just got here like 2 days ago...
and the thing is- i'm already feeling homesick. Everyone here already knows eachother and I'm practically the only freshman!
I'm not preppy or shallow or anything but EVERYONE ELSE IS!!!! that's what makes me so uncomfortable with the people here.
any advice about how to not feel homesick is appreciated.
all the guys here are gay, but the ones who aren't gay are taken.

I don't feel happy at all. I thought I was done with this s
Posted Friday August 31 2007, 4:10 pm
OMG! I was crying to today and I just need someone to tell me what's wrong. Okay, so I'm going to start from the beginning. haha. So last year I was on 8th grade and everything in my life was horrible. I didn't have friends or a boyfriend. I felt like people and guys didn't like me at all. This year things have changed yet they're the same. I'm in 9th now and it sucks too. I have good friends but I still feel like guys are using me and they don't really want a real realtionship. i've been hanging on to this guy Kent. I think he likes me but sometimes he won't even give me the time of day. He's playing mind games. i mean my life is better than what it was but it still doesn't make me happy. I still cry because I don't have a boyfriend. i th...

This may sound weird, but I'm being as serious as possible.
Posted Monday August 27 2007, 9:37 pm
This is going to be a little bit confusing to explain, but I will try.
I have been reading a book on drug addictions, and it got me to thinking about regular addictions, such as caffeine, cutting, or even dancing. It's possible to become addicted to anything right?
Well I lost my boyfriend about 8 months ago. He & I had been together for 2 years & we were happy, but he randomly broke up with me in the worse possible way. After the first month of our breakup, we ran into eachother & had sex. I've always wanted him back & I still want him back, so everytime he wants to have sex, I've allowed it. & Not just allowed, but I've wanted it too.
I've tried moving on from him, dating other guys, having...

I feel depressed when guys pay no attention to me!
Posted Monday August 27 2007, 8:21 pm
I am really sad right now because well I'm 14. That gives you a good idea of what my life is like. Well I have a sister and she's 17. I love here to death but I hate her at the same time. The problem is guys of course. The guys that like her are like 16 or 17. So they're a lil' bit older. I just feel ugly because guys are always paying attention to her and not me. Is it because of the three years? They are just in love with her. they dont even know I'm alive. I dont think I'm pretty but I'm not ugly. Just average. People tell me all the time that I'm really pretty but when I take pictures of myself all I see is an ugly person. So I really do believe guys think I'm really ugly. They dont even talk to me. I just want to know why or how this i...

Fleeing Brain.
Posted Sunday August 26 2007, 11:24 pm
alright, i smoked weed a month ago back. i hit a gravity bong, and it was my second time ever getting high.
long story short, i think i murdered my memory. and unless if i "lock something in" i can't remember it, so like im not able to remember where i put my cell phone or wallet.
also, if im not preoccupied, my mind wanders, and i can feel like im having an out of body experience.
i have quit intaking all substances that are harmful, quit eating chips and junk food.
any sure shot way to get my memory back, or to at least trick myself into at least thinking im fine?

Social Anxiety Disorder or "sociophobia"
Posted Sunday August 26 2007, 8:55 pm
15/f
I think I have sociophobia. I have all of the symptoms on all of the sites that I've googled (its scary how accurate they are...), but I'm embarrassed to tell my parents that I think I have it. I have a lot of friends, hang out with the popular kids, and always have something social to do, and have moved a bunch of times, but I still seem to have all of the symptoms.
I used to think it was shyness until when I was 13 I started having panic attacks related to the social anxiety. I just realized a few hours ago why they happened and that they were all linked (I know, stupid.) I never really told my parents about the panic attacks (the worst was 4 in one day), because they seemed to get less and less frequent and las...

why do i shake when i'm nervous
Posted Friday August 24 2007, 3:59 pm
I shake a lot when I get nervous or when I'm arrguing with someone. Do you think there's something wrong? Also, there is a past of anxiety in my family, is that what it could be? It happens almost each and every time I argue or get really upset and it doesn't go away until everything is resolved. Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason why I'm crying
Posted Friday August 24 2007, 2:08 am
Whenever I watch a very romantic movie, when you can just see the passion the two characters have for each other, I get overwhelmed and start crying.
For example, in the movie When Harry met Sally, at the end, when he goes to that party and admits to Sally that he loves her, I had tears running down my face and I felt a slight squeeze on my heart.
I do have a crush on this guy (I think I might be in love, I've liked him for almost four years, and it seems like my love for him is growing stronger by the year). I always get so happy when I imagine him saying those things to me.
Why do you think I am crying? If it's because of the guy, do you think I'm in love? There's just this huge bundle of emo...

weird behavior
Posted Thursday August 23 2007, 5:44 pm
I have this like obsessive thing about someone like jumping our fence and like knocking on the back door. It freaks the hell out of me, and I turn on the alarm for the house. I babysit at night for my little brother, and my dad doesn't like to have lots of lights on, so I have our two lamps on, and the dining room light dimmed. I don't know why I get so freaked out, maybe it's the whole Kelsey Smith thing, even though that happened awhile ago, and it was at Target. I remember watching the news the same day that the whole Kelsey Smith thing started, and they also said that there had been some break ins about 30 minutes away from the area that I live in.. why am I so freaked out? I go to the kitchen to make my brother's milk, and I have like ...
