mental illness
Posted Sunday April 15 2007, 9:49 pm
Ok, well two of my aunts are basically nuts, not to be mean. its never been confirmed scitzophrenia or anything, but basically everybody has decided it. one i have never met and the other is in and out of rehab all the time. well heres my question, they say mental illness can be genetic, and that it hits in your early adulthood/ late teens. they also say its sometimes accompanied by depression, and ive been going through that for a couple years now. i was just wondering if even though it was my aunts and not my parents if it is still as possible to happen to me? im just really scared bc i dont want my life to be ruined by it like theirs was. thanks:)

Anger
Posted Sunday April 15 2007, 3:40 pm
Ok so I usually release some of my anger during football and wrestling. Now those are done. I need some ways to release the anger but punching a punching bags does not help. You have to understand i am 6'4 310 and strong i am always carefull cause i can actually kill someone and i am afraid that i will, and i really dont want to kill someone. I dont feel that i am going to kill someone not like that bu i keep my self calm all the time and all the anger is inside built up and if someone pushes the wrong button. god help them. I am not a pretty sight when i get mad which is rarly theres not many people if any who dont like me but still. So if you could help, i dunno meditate or something which i dont know will help but something.

15/f. I apologize, this is really long.
Well, I'm beginning (and have already BEEN) to be VERY depressed. And I mean, sometimes for no reason at all. I can't talk to ANYONE. My parents don't understand...and tell me "Oh...don't be ridiculous...there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone passes through this stage". etc. It's driving me nuts. There is too much pressure from school (having to get straight A's or else my parents will EXPLODE), I HATE my friends. They haven't ever done ANYTHING for me. NEVER. They never.......care. :( When I look at them...I see FAKE USERS. They talk crap behind me...which I can prove. I've been cutting myself...and I can't stop. I have NO ONE to talk to and no one to confide in. I don't ...

perfect
Posted Friday April 13 2007, 9:15 pm
Ok I feel i have to be perfect. I have to get straight As and everything and yes I DO want to get straight As but my parents get disappointed when i get like a B on my test cuz everything has to be an A and Im find as long as my final grade is an A. This one girl (who Im slowly distancing myself from because shes not respect to me, etc) was like "OMG SARAH GOT A C ON A TEST?" I was like "Whatever, I still have an A"

hopeless?
Posted Friday April 13 2007, 9:09 pm
i feel soo alone and i think every yr it gets worse. i mean i dont hang out with anyone and now out school i have a hard time finding someone too hang out with.
the people i were hanging out with i decided to distance myself from cuz they didnt treat me well or respect me and some of the things they were doing I dont approve of and want to be around. some people i used to talk to went to another school or dont talk to me cuz we either grew apart or because of last years drama.
i dont know why! is it because im smart? i mean im not dumbing myself down for people to like me and this one girl was like "who wants to be friends with people like that they're no fun" i hate it, i only have 3 more yrs and im...

Pregnancy
Posted Friday April 13 2007, 5:16 pm
Okay I want kids when I grow up. But we just watched a movie in biology class that showed everything that happens when a woman gives birth... what I want to know is if it really hurts as much as it looked like it did. Right now I'm thinking of adopting because there is no way that I would ever want to do that and also I hate throwing up so the whole morning sickness wouldn't work for me. I'm only 16 and I don't want to have sex/have babies until I'm married, this is just something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Thanks

Worrying (kind of long, sorry!)
Posted Friday April 13 2007, 12:35 am
Okay. I'm 16 and I'm a girl. Of course, I worry a lot about my appearance and what people think of me. But unlike most girls, I obsess about it. It's ruining my life and my relationships with my friends and family are suffering because of it. I'm constantly thinking things like, are they looking at me because I look bad, are they laughing at me, do my friends not want to hang out with me because I'm not pretty, etc.
Not only that, but I worry about absolutely everything else. I worry that my boyfriend is going to get killed before he comes back home (he's working in an office job in the city for two or three months so it's not like he's gone off to war), I worry about my family members getting hurt, I worry about walking out ...

I think ive become desensitized to all the violence on tv. When I hear statistics about 10000 people dying somewhere I don’t feel anything. Its horrible but theres something wrong with me! Am I a sosciopath/psychopath?

boyfriend and alcohol

15/f
my boyfriend (17/m)has been fighting with me a lot lately and much of it is harsh. today was killer. it got to the point where he called me a dumbass and the most immature person that he knows, and that he's been going out with me for the past 10 months, because i have "the potential to be a good girlfriend." he tells me that i act like a spoiled little kid and need to grow up and stop being so immature.
this kind of fight happens too often. it has lead me to vodka. i can mix it with cranberry juice to cover the smell and my parents never notice that its gone so i can get away with it. i drink it because its the only thing that can get rid of my saddness. i dont want to be an alcoholic. i realiz...

How can you tell?
Posted Sunday April 8 2007, 8:43 am
I need to know the different between clinical depression, anxiety, and severe stress. How can you tell if you really have a mental problem or if you're just really emotional? I know only a doctor can make the diagnosis, but I need to know so I don't have to waste my time going there if I'm feelings these things for no reason.
