bad temper
Posted Saturday April 7 2007, 12:48 am
16/f
i have always had a hot temper but it used to take ALOT to make me let it out, and when i did i would mostly just yell then go up to my room and lay down away from everybody until it went down
But lately the smallest things absolutely ruin my day. when i lose my temper which is a daily thing now, i cannot say anything otherwise my dad who's temper is byfar the worst i have ever seen will flare. so i twist and pinch my arm while he yells at me. i then go to my room and throw things, punch my pillows and walls, scream as loud as i can into my pillows and trash my room. when im tired i cry for hours. the rest of the day i cannot talk to anybody. just the voice of somebody who wants to talk to me makes m...

Insane?
Posted Thursday April 5 2007, 10:21 pm
So i'm stuck inbetween the corners of life or the 'Real World' ... my friends seem more distance and I just to scream out to the world! The school year is almost over (which i'm sort of sad/happy about) -- when i'm at school I feel trapped inside myself ... I want to be 'overly hyper' and I wonder what people are thinking. I can't really be free without getting annoying and akward -- it hurts at times. When i'm at home I can be free all I want to but I just feel so loney. I live in the semi-countryside so there is no one around except family (which are all adults so it doesn't help much) -- I also get overly emotion at home even if there is nothing wrong. I don't know whats wrong with me or if i'm just crazy?

Psychologist
Posted Wednesday April 4 2007, 8:30 pm
What do you people think of a psychologist (male) who acts more like a friend than a therapist? Here are examples: (1) he tells you to give up a friend you like because your friend gives you bad advice: (2) you tell him a story about how a customer loved the jacket you wore and the customer told you they know you take a small but the customer wants to know if the jacket comes in an extra large and you tell the male therapist what the customer asked and the male therapist starts to guess your clothing size; (3) you tell the male therapist you had problems with an exboss and the therapist instead of helping you cope with this boss, the male therapist tells you the exboss doesnt like you.

How to [at least] overcome OCD.
Posted Monday April 2 2007, 6:59 pm
15/f
I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and my case is pretty damn bad. I could worry over the SMALLEST things...and not sleep until I either know the answer, or do something right. An example: if I write a LONG essay in pencil ... and then I remember that I have to do it in ink or I get an F...I start FREAKING OUT...like complete, full out PANIC. I start crying, and worrying...and I can't help it. So...what do I do? I rewrite it in pen, and waste my time...only to find that it wasn't even due. This is what always happens...I worry about something, and it isn't even that important. The problem is that, these little problems causing my anxiety are literally RUNING my life. And I ask people what I could do...and...

Histrionic Personality Disorder
Posted Monday April 2 2007, 3:42 pm
On my last visit, which was the second visit to my new therapist's office she said I was using histrionics and that what I needed to learn how to do in my relationships is be honest. I've been dramatizing and overexaggerating for so long, I'd not thought about the possibility of my not telling the complete truth to therapists. Anyway, I'm feeling like when I talk about it to my new boyfriend, I'm being dramatic or if I cry. I don't even want to emote at all anymore. I'm ashamed of my behavior, needing to manipulate men, needing to be the prettiest, the center of attention. But when I think about not doing that anymore, about talking to him in an unscripted sort of way, I become very anxious. I almost and sometimes will have a panic attack. ...

i feel really down
Posted Sunday April 1 2007, 6:43 pm
13/f
lately, i've been feeling kind of down sometimes.
It's like, when im hanging with my friends, im fine most of the time.
When I'm home, with nothing to distract me, I tend to get very depressed.
Well depressed is a strong, i just feel kind of sad for no specific reason.
I get in a lot of fights with my parents and that stinks, and I like a guy I can never have, but besides for that I have a pretty good life.
What's going on?
What do i do?
Thanks!

im a slacker
Posted Sunday April 1 2007, 4:01 pm
i am a slacker, all i want to do is socialize which is normal for most teenage girls. But, my grades in school are far from adverage. Honestly, i would love to be able to have alright grades so that way i wouldnt be in so much crap with my parents along with the worry of failing out of 10th grade.

I have ADD
Posted Friday March 30 2007, 7:56 pm
I was diagnosed with ADD around December and I was prescribed this medicine. I have been taking the medicine and my grades have went from mostly B's to all A's. It was a really dramatic change in everything I did. So...my grandma thinks that it's all in my head that I have ADD, but it's totally not. But she just keeps saying it and now I'm getting the feeling it might be. I have all the symptons for ADD and when I didn't take my medicine earlier this week I couldn't slow down, do any homework, was distracted a ton, and couldn't remember important stuff. Do you think I really have ADD or it's all in my head? I'm not sure and it's starting to bug me.

Paranoia.
Posted Friday March 30 2007, 5:16 pm
How can I stop being so paranoid? I care too much about the motives of others, and if they're talking about me, etc. I'm so paranoid when I like guys, too, and it messes with my head and distorts everything.
Please help, I'm desperate and miserable.

Stress?
Posted Friday March 30 2007, 9:13 am
Lately I've been really stressed out. I have a lot of hard classes at school and it's hard to balance all my homework and my job after school. Quitting my job is not an option, as I need to save for many things and put gas in my car. Anyway, lately I just stay up until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning on school nights just to finish my homework, so obviously I'm really tired all the time. Then, on weekends, I work early, so I never get a chance to catch up on sleep. So I take a nap, and then half the day is gone and I have to rush to get everything done. So, in short, I'm very busy and it's really stressing me out. Any suggestions on a quick way to handle stress? Maybe a better idea to manage my time wisely?

Confused about myself.
Posted Thursday March 29 2007, 10:19 pm
I'm confused. And this whole world confuses me. Nothing makes sense to me, Everything seems so ridiculous... I don't even know why I feel this way about things, Life & people... I love so much, but sometimes I hate everything. Sometimes I feel like destroying everything in my sight. Sometimes I feel like crying my eyes out and I loose all confidence in myself, While other days I feel like the happiest person in the world, Like nothing can bring me down.
I have thoughts in my head which I can't control, as if i'm having a constant fight with myself.
Everyone just thinks i'm crazy. And I think I am going crazy. But I've always been like this.

add misdiagnosed.
Posted Thursday March 29 2007, 4:17 pm
Can anybody find me a website that states what percentage of the cases of ADD are misdiagnosed?
I mean that the patient does not actually have ADD, not that a person with ADD is diagnosed with something else. I googled it and i kept getting the latter. please make sure before you answer!
gracias! :]
