cutting
Posted Friday June 8 2007, 12:37 am
I'm a cutter, or at least i used to be. when i started going out with my boyfriend i stopped. i still told him about what i used to do and he gave me a hard time about it, not like making fun of me, but told me never to do it again. he's asked me why i did it and i never could explain. yesterday i did it again and it was the first time in a couple months. i don't know how to tell him, but i know i should cause he's going to see the marks at some point and it would be better if i told him first. what should i say?

half says im thin, half is disgusted
Posted Thursday June 7 2007, 1:53 am
I don't want to brag, I just want to tell the truth. I am thin for my age and height. Every morning, I wake up and go to the bathroom, and my stomach is really sucked in. I like it because I look skinny. Then I eat until it is pushed out to a certain point, then I won't eat for the rest of the day so that my stomach will go back down. I just drink tons of water that just flushes out of my body the next morning, and I eat little things like a box of raisins or a bag of kettle corn, which are only about 100 calories each, so they don't really do anything.
Is this unhealthy or is this normal? Everyone calls me skinny. Half of me says "You are skinny. Don't worry about eating", and the other half says "You are fat ...

i am worried
Posted Sunday June 3 2007, 7:05 pm
I wrote a question about an ear infection before:...
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=492320
Its not an infection. I got it checked. She could not find it wrong, but what I forgot to say was that .. I dont know what its called, but the sharp pain is more on the bottom of my ear.. Not in the eardrum. I dont know how to explain where it is. but the pain started going away and now its back and hurts still. What should I do? The doctor didn't give me medicnine or anything..
Also, I am kinda of bored all the time! I dont know what to do -- most of the kids in my neighborhood I dont like except for about 2 or 3. Today, especially, I was so bored even though I had a lot of homework, I just slept...

Mood depends on LOOKS
Posted Sunday June 3 2007, 6:23 pm
I am so vain, shallow, and pathetic. But I realized this a long time ago and cannot change it. My whole mood depends on how good I look. I skip school when I look bad (when I havn't waxed my disgusting excesive facial hair..im a girl, it unfair, i hate that i have it!) and when im forced to school, i get in fights and lots of trouble.. I fail tests.. etc etc etc.
When Im in a good mood, i get good grades, make friends, help people - all is good.
Problem is.. im getting more and more vain every day. I hate my huge nose, my excessive hair ALL OVER MY BODY, my tiny eyes, my small lips, my uneven skin. I get more and more depressed everyday. I've looked in to surgery but they refuse to do it on someone my age..too young.
Help me please.

whats wrong with me?
Posted Saturday June 2 2007, 2:32 pm
How do you know you're crazy or a skitzo?
I have so many disorders and problems I never know what to do
I'm going to therapy today but
I HATE IT and I never listen.
I'm stubborn and I have beliefs and I tell myself not do to certain things because I don't want to be changed.
Don't tell me to listen
but the first question is really something I always wanted to know but nobody ever told me the anwser for.

anti depressants.. psychiatrist only?

Will only a psychiatrist prescribe you anti depressants? Can your regular doctor prescribe them? Thanks.

I apologize in advance for the length of my question. Now... Where do I begin?
I suppose the beginning would be a good place, wouldn't it? Really this all started when I was about 14. Around that time I became very ill and my parents withdrew me from the public school system. I became isolated with only my co-dependent mother and neglegent step-father to keep me company. A social anxiety disorder and depression were the result. That compounded with other issues (an estranged father, past sexual abuse, and extremely low self-esteem) caused my depression to drag me into what I refer to as the "screaming void." I cried myself to sleep every night and thought a lot about death when I was awake.

Long Story!
Posted Wednesday May 30 2007, 2:24 am
Ok Ive put this under mental health, cos thats what Im supposing it is..
Well where do I start... Since I can remember, Ive noticed Ive been doing some really strange things, mostly which are coming out now..if Im walking along the street, I tend to roleplay something over and over in my head, and sometimes Ill end up speaking it out loud.
If see a car, ill imagine a whole crash, and sometimes if I pass a car park, Ill pick whichever car I would have if I could have any.
Theres lots of strange things like that, sometimes Ill breath ot the beat of a tune, or Ill just imagine some really strange stuff. Its hard to explain.
I told a friend for the first time last night, he suggested ...

Shallowness and materialisticness
Posted Tuesday May 29 2007, 11:29 pm
I'm a teenage girl who has way more maturity than any other teenager you'll meet. I suffer from depression, and well everyone in my town is a shallow preppy conceited betch who only cares about their nails/hair/clothes/etc.
The problem is i just choose not to obsess over that inane stuff (to a certain extent- It's not like I disregard my appearance completely) and people think that's really weird.
I'm a thespian and musical theater is all I care about.
Why am I the only person in the world who has REAL values, and would rather spend time doing something REAL, like musical theater, instead of just doing something inane like shopping?
I cry about it all the time.

Is this normal? (body image)
Posted Monday May 28 2007, 8:09 pm
I'm a teenage girl who has been overweight (and, at times, obese) for her whole life. I am now only about 20 pounds overweight, and I look good because I'm an hourglass body type. But I feel like people view me as "this fat redheaded girl" instead of a normal person and it makes me very depressed and inhibited and self-conscious.
My main problem is my obsession with my body and my weight. For my whole life (even as a 3-year-old) all I have ever been able to think is "oh my god im sosososososo fat and disgusting. ew. my thighs are so gross ohmygodddd and my stomach hangs over my shorts EW!" and those are the constant thoughts going through my head. (meaning that I don't think normal thoughts like &q...
