I guess lately I've been having self esteem issues.
See, the begining of the year, I got really sick, with something almost like the chicken pox, it wasnt that though, it was something rare. It left deep scabs, and they left deep scars, on my back, legs, pretty much everywhere, including my face.
The face part is really what bothers me, I have deep scars, not really horribly deep. But its like an indent.
And whenever I see pictures of myself before that,
it makes me feel really ugly, in fact, I have looking at pictures of me before that, because I know I will never look like that again.
:(

i feel depressed.
Posted Thursday April 26 2007, 12:07 am
I'm 15 first of all. I'm always paranoid. always think everyone hates me. I've been so quiet, and so like "to myself". Which is extremely unusual, I'm usually the loudest hyperest and most ADD kid. I feel like I'm losing all my friends. I can't stand my mom, I hate her and wont talk to her about anything, she is why i always feel as though while everyone is out there living life to the fullest, i'm not aloud to live but only to exist. This feeling of depression has gotten me from straight A's to D's. It feels like things can't get any worse and that's why i have no motivation. I never let out my feelings though. I dont let my friends or family know somethings wrong. (well i can't talk about that with my family) but myfriends anywa...

You know how some people will say, 'there having a bad week' and they either tell you, how they got grounded, or got a F on a big test.
Well imagine this..
Imagine losing your whole group of friend, because they ditched you, for a huge graduation dance, when they were all going out to dinner together, and they didn't invite you, and you've been friends with all of them for atleast 4 or 5 years.
So, right now, your probably thinking.. that suc...

Lonliness and depression
Posted Sunday April 22 2007, 1:17 am
I'm a teenage girl and I'm always alone- i'm not kidding. I'm homeschooled so that's why.(and i'm the only dependent minor in my family) I used to go to a prep school where I was around annoying people 24/7, and i hated that. But this makes me depressed too. Never being around anyone. my problem is this:
Whenever I get tired of being completely alone and I go out in public for a rehearsal or something (i do theater), I can't stand being around unintelligent sluts who don't understand me and just ask me why i look so sad and things like that. I get panic attacks whenever I try to talk to someone (unless it's one of my 2 best friends in the whole world) and i start sweating and I turn red and my heart starts pounding. and it ge...

cutter
Posted Saturday April 21 2007, 10:09 pm
well i always get advice from my friends because i cut, and the thing is i think there sick of dealing with my problems and they mostly all ditched me. long story. anyways, i was wondering if this works, well everyone always says when your about to cut or when you need a distraction that you just talk to someone online that you dont know with similiar problems because they cant use it against you and stuff.
so my question is does that work?
and is anyone on here a cutter?

who the heck am i?
Posted Saturday April 21 2007, 9:25 am
I'm a stranger to myself. I don't know why I do the things I do. I don't know who I am. I don't know who I want to be. I don't know what I like. And I don't know when I'm pretending to like something. I really don't know anything about myself. I change from week to week. Last week I hated rock and emo , had big earings, curly hair and hip-hop clothes. This week I'm all about emo, dark clothes, lots of eye-liner. Everyone's calling me a poser and a fake. And I guess I am. That's ok, I don't care what they think. I just want to find the real me, but how? How do I know when I'm pretending and when it's actually THE REAL me?
I'm almost 18, shouldn't I know by know?

Mental Illness
Posted Monday April 16 2007, 10:41 pm
I know everyone has crazy thoughts... but mine are a bit strange. Like "overly crazy" and need the appropriate attention and medication
So here's the deal:
Ever since I was a little girl (I'm 13/f now), I would come up with these weird thoughts that if I did something that looked cool and I wanted to do it again, it wouldn't look cool if I did it again. I don't think that way anymore. But now I think even worse thoughts. As years grew by this thinking has become worse.
Sometimes when I'm up high on like a deck over a hotel looking at the view, I feel like I'm going to lose control and jump off. But then it got even worse. And this is what really scares me. I sleepwalk, so I feel li...

bad headache.
Posted Monday April 16 2007, 9:31 pm
I have had this horrible headache for the past 5 days now. I have tried almost overy OTC pain reliever out there (like ibuprofren and aspirin) but it does not help at all.
I have a huge anxiety problem so I am always thinking I have some kind of brain cancer or I am going to die. Usually migraines last for a couple days but mine has been occuring for a week nonstop. It doesn't fade, nor is it off-and-on. Sometimes it gets worse, but other times it feels more mild. My school nurse told me to lay down and drink water but that did not help. I stayed off of caffeine and sugar but that didn't help either.
I am scared that something severe is wrong with me! I have a Doctor's appointment tomorrow but what can I do to ...

pain from being stereotyped by my family

Well I was born from Canada but my parents were originated from somewhere else. I didn't know how to speak english when I was born but as soon as I learned it in kindergarden I could talk english fluently but my brain just somehow forgot how to speak the language I was born with.
There was a school for people of my lanuage to learn how to write it but I couldn't learn it even though I really tried. Like everything the teacher said, I'll raise my hand up and say what does that mean? Like as if I wasn't even originated as that race. I'm 15 years old now and for 11 years I kept trying but I couldn't. It's like when I learned english I can't soeak anything else or get it in my head now.

Apology letter for bullying?
Posted Monday April 16 2007, 8:59 am
Female, 23
When i was at school i had a best friend, when we were about 12 she used to bully me and write nasty songs about me, but i used to take it because i didnt really have anyone else
That all stopped in about a year, but then i started to do the same to her when i was about 15 up until i was 17. I'd be horrible and bitchy alot of the time and write songs and draw horrible pictures of her.
I know it sounds like we werent friends but we actually were and would hang out all the time with our other mutual friends, it was when i was with these friends that i was at my bitchiest, when we were alone it was fine.
Anyway, it's now 8 years ago since we left school, it got ill and still am suffering with ment...
