fear of throwing up
Posted Wednesday March 14 2007, 10:33 pm
My worst fear EVER is throwing up. I can't listen to it or see someone throw up, or throw up myself without crying. And whenever someone feels sick I avoid them. My brother has been in the bathroom throwing up for about a half hour now and I locked myself in my room and started crying my eyes out. I am 13! I thought if you face your fears you can get over them, but when I throw up myself and face it, it doesn't help, just makes me scared I'll throw up again and I refuse to eat for the rest of the day.

I need help. I have depression and social anxiety. I have just came out of a foster home and am back with my mom. I'll just say that I won't see my dad for a while. I have to move and everything. I get to see my family when I move but I'll miss my friends here. This really isn't helping my depression. Please help me.

I put this question to mental health cause it is messing me up.
Whats with all those 12 year olds wanna have sex? And whats with them 15 year olds suggesting they should go for it?
This was the question:
havent started my period [EVERRRRRR]
but i was wondering if its still ok to have sex
my friends mom had sex before she got her period and nothing happened to her .
could that have just been her
can i still have sex and get my period ?
This was my advice after the feedback I got:
DAMN NO.
If you didn t have your period yet it means you are 14 years old. And 14 year olds having sex is Gross.
Your friends mom can do as she pleases. She...

Well I've been sort've depressed for a long period and evrytime i'm sad I sing a happy song or listen to it but lately it hasn't been working, later i'd feel sad again.
I've been having nightmares everyday for the past two weeks but I didn't watch any sad or scary movies and i'm not sad about a certain thing at all, i'm just sad.

i really would like to hear from people. anorexia?.
Posted Tuesday March 13 2007, 9:28 pm
I am 5'6 and about 105 lbs. I feel fat almost all the time. I'm so self conscious. Whenever someone tells me i'm thin, i still don't think so myself. For the past six years, i've gone through periods of not eating much of anything; starving myself. But then after a little while i'll go through a period of eating and feeling guilty and planning on not eating anymore. I've been in an out of those periods for six years. I also don't get a regular period, when i should. I skip months at a time. I'm not really sure what this means.

whats step two
Posted Monday March 12 2007, 11:11 pm
I know the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. So i've covered step one but I don't know what to do now. I have a problem with depression which results in hurting myself and I don't know what to do to stop being sad and stop all of this. What do I do besides go to a phyciatrist or the school counciler. Please i really don't have anywhere to turn.

Me and my dreams
Posted Monday March 12 2007, 12:10 am
Well I always make up these fantasies that my crush and I will some how run into them somewhere! Like say at the grocery store or something. Or even if my dad was having some party for like football or something, and it just so happens that my crush had come because his had knew mine, and just happened to come up the stairs in my room or something and we start talking...I think about my crush all the time...and when I'm in bed I imagine those things then too. I think I might be bipolar because my friend says that one symptom of being bipolar is that you think anything can happen to you. Whats wrong with me?!

Suggestion
Posted Sunday March 11 2007, 11:54 pm
Today I got a great suggestion and I want to know what you think (and dont say it is obsessive or a lot of work because it isnt). After a person posts a question(s) on this site and gets the answer(s) they like they should copy and paste into a word document and then print out what was copied and pasted and read it everytime they need reassurance

Reality and Me?
Posted Sunday March 11 2007, 10:11 pm
I constently find myself going into my fantasy world, whenever I read, watch, or listen to something. I just want to run and back forth. I sort of copy it. I guess just play out my own seniro. Where my self or my 'character' self is perfect. I mean perfect in my way - a bigger voice, different, and when I look at myself doing this I feel sick because i'm thinking about thoughts I know arn't true. I wounder when i'm acting them out I think there true. I don't want to be myself at times, I can't others to listen to me. All I mostly do with my friends is joke around, sometimes I wounder if thats why they like me. If i'm so bored and can't stand myself that I just don't like the real world. I fake pain and sadness. I'm sick with myself. Watchin...

I don't know
Posted Saturday March 10 2007, 11:51 pm
I feel different. I feel hurt. Sometimes I don't want to get up and things seem to be getting harder. And other times I feel like someone should beat the shit out of me just for feeling this way. I feel like a hypocrite. I feel selfish. Nothing helps anymore. Going to shows don't seem to help. Hanging out doesn't seem to help. I don't know what to do. Or who to talk to.

Questions
Posted Friday March 9 2007, 11:07 pm
As an example: On January 2007 you post a question(s) on this site and you get the responses that you think helped you so you decide to copy and paste both the question and answer into a word document to read the question and answer when ever you feel like. But then March 2007 rolls around do you feel that you should repost the question to see what other answers you may get. Or do you say to yourself I got the all the answers I need that helped me and I copied and pasted the question(s) and answer(s) in word to read when I want so I will not post any more

Stress and Depression
Posted Friday March 9 2007, 5:06 pm
I know the two go hand in hand, which explains why I feel so low at the moment. There's so much going wrong with my family life, my work like and my health right now and it's affecting everything. Even my relationship with my boyfriend.
The question is, what do I do about it?? I can't keep going the way I am or I SWEAR I am going to have a meltdown.
Please help and if you can, I would appreciate natural help, rather than counselling or therapy.

therapy isn't helping
Posted Friday March 9 2007, 3:52 pm
15/f
I've been seeing a therapist for a year now after I was diagnosed with depression. The problem is, after I stopped taking my medecine, I haven't been improving. I'm wondering if, besides therapy, there is any other way to "get help"... they say depression doesn't go away on it's own, and I'm feeling pretty "alone" with the system right now. I'm not going to feel this way forever, am I?

still down, how do I get up?
Posted Friday March 9 2007, 2:22 pm
A little less than a year ago I was diagnosed with having anxiety and depression. The thing that bugs me, though, is that every single time you hear about this sort of thing, the only advice you are ever given is "get help, and that will make you better." But it only has to a certain extent. I mean, I guess this year I'm getting out of bed in the morning; I'm going to school when I used to stay in bed all day without being able to get up. But I still feel like such a failure. I worked so hard before I got depression. I was part of a really challenging private school (I left this year) and put every effort I had into doing well so I could get into a good university or whatever for five straight years, never had any friends over, e...

how will a psychiatrist help?
Posted Wednesday March 7 2007, 10:19 pm
Yesterday I talked to my dad about my depression and how it is affecting me. then he scheduled a appointment for me to see a psychiatrist which is tomorrow. When my mom found out she started to freak out and she told my dad that if i get help then the problem will be worse. then she told me that I was stupid to say anything. So now my parents are arguing and now I'm thinking that it was a mistake to ask for help. Was it okay that I asked for help and what will the psychiatrist do on the first day?
