I am turning here for advice or maybe someone is dealing with a similar situation. My son is 8.

Is this normal? (Mental Health Question)
Posted Saturday January 10 2015, 2:15 am
I'm a 14 year old female with depression and anxiety. I'm a freshman in high school, but I'm homeschooled due to the mental illnesses. Well, I have NO friends. The only interaction I really have is with my family. I probably only go outside once or twice a week. All I really do is play video games, read, surf the internet, do my schoolwork, or other little activities. I love going outside as long as it isn't hot, but I'm just too depressed and anxious. Is there something wrong with me? I go to a therapist every week. I just feel like I'm worthless and not going anywhere since I stay in my room 23 hours of the day, on the internet for like half of that time. I just feel worthless. It's not like I'm a lazy bum who doesn't do anything with the...

Can't go on the bus
Posted Wednesday December 31 2014, 10:19 pm
I have an anxiety disorder, and this year the bus route changed and my ex boyfriend, the girl who hates me and spreads rumors about me, and my old best friend, who my ex left me for, is on the bus. I have a panic attack every time I go on, I can't handle it, I have to ask for rides before and after school everyday (it's a 20 min drive) from my parents and older sister everyday and they are tired of it. I have to pay for the gas money, and I don't even have a job and I'm running out of money. And sometimes when I call my parents to see if anyone can drive me, they get so annoyed and force me to take the bus.
At the beginning of the year I thought my panic attacks would eventually go away, but they never did.
I don't know what t...

I feel so bad and regretful. I'm starting a downward spiral into hollowness
Posted Sunday December 28 2014, 6:18 pm
I'm 19, I work full time during the week. I'm starting to do things I would have never thought of doing a year ago. About two months after my girlfriend and I broke up, I went online to find an escort, I met her and payed $140 for it. It was right after work at her hotel room. I felt so horrible afterwards, what a way to lose my virginity. Then I started going to parties at my friend's house, nothing crazy, a little drinking, making new friends etc. I meet this cute girl, we talk and text a bit for a few days. At the next party she's very seductive, then she tells me that she does services and has clients. It was so tempting so I did it, I snuck her into my house and it was $110. This time felt even worse because I kinda got to know her a l...

M/16
So I have manic depression, paranoia, and anxeity. My parents took me to tharapy for a while, but it ended up hurting me more than helping me. They took me to evangelical Christian therapy and basically the tharapist said I am under demonic innfluennce and I have brought this on to my self because I don't believe in god. Well the tharapy sessions were total hell and the worst part is my parents belive her. I learned how to cover up my deppression, paranoia and anxeity so they think that I'm alright, but its killing me. I can't stand being depressed all the time, but I'm afraid if I let my parents know they will take me back to that horrible tharapy. Would it be a good idea to talk to my schools guidance counsilor about it? I jus...

I see numbers as colors
Posted Thursday December 18 2014, 3:23 pm
My entire life each letter and number had it's own personality and gender. For example, when I think of 1 I see a boy who is very proud an dumb. 5 is a girl who is very perky and is a cheerleader. They also have colors:
1-ruby red
2-sky blue
3-emerald green
4-Sun yellow
5- lime green
6-deep ocean blue (not a tropical ocean, just a normal one)
7-pink, a bright pink.
8-indigo
9-grey
And words have personalitys too. When I see certain words I see a person in my head that looks like a definition of that word. It makes math hard because instead of seeing the problem I instead see a bunch of colors swirling around and the numbers talking and having their own life and I can't f...

I don't know what's wrong with me
Posted Sunday November 30 2014, 7:48 pm
Female, 18.
I'm under the suspiscion that I might be suffering from depression - or something close to it. I have already been diagnosed about three years ago with hypothyroidsm, so perhaps this adds to the factor. I haven't been taking care of myself - more than usual - I procrastinate too much and then I have tiny breakdowns where I cry alone about how stupid and worthless I mean. Because I know in fact that I am the one doing things wrong, yet can't bring myself to fix things. I have extreme low self-esteem issues and I think I have many phobias that need taking care of - I can't stand being locked up, I hate large crowds because I feel uncomfortable, I fear loads of responsability, I have stage-fright even just to speak at times...

Addiction Recovery
Posted Saturday November 22 2014, 11:24 pm
I have recently decided to stop using painkillers. I've been very successful and I am about to weeks clean. The only problem is I am always tired. I try to get enough sleep but even when I do I am very tired. I don't seem to be expereincing many of the withdraw effects I've read about, but the ones I do are fairly mild. Could me not being on the drug any more be related to always being tired or am I just not getting enough sleep?

Afraid to shop at Menard's
Posted Thursday November 20 2014, 8:29 pm
Hello Advicenators: I shop and spend a lot of Money at Menard's. It is a big box home improvement store. It is or was my favorite store. They have more of my monthly income than a food store. I try to keep busy and have many projects to keep my mind busy, so to speak. I am on Social Security Disability. I am 58 years old and on a fixed income. About a month ago (since that is the day I last visited) I was at Menard's at 6:30 when they opened. The floor scrubber guy was following me around and came within inches of hitting me. I have a psychiatric condition due to my disability. I have not been back to Menard's since for fear. I contacted the manager. He sent me two dog toys and apologized. I just feel terrible. This store re...

Dealing with Depression
Posted Thursday November 20 2014, 4:30 pm
I am a 21 year old female. Every year around this time, I get extremely depressed. I suppose it's maybe "seasonal depression" but I don't know much about that. I just know that I am very morose and I don't know why. I love the winter months and enjoy the holidays, so I don't know why this always happens. I just lay in bed all day and have a hard time making myself go to class. I even quit taking care of myself like I should. It's such a struggle to shower, brush my teeth, put makeup on.
I've been dealing with this current bout of depression for about 2 months now. Then, 2 weeks ago, my father passed away. It's all I think about. I can't go see a therapist because I can't afford one. I just need to know ways in which...

I am unable to feel love or guilt or empathy or worry towards my family
Posted Wednesday November 19 2014, 1:59 pm
My grandparents are extremely important to me and I don't use to be like that. I used to feel that I might die if anything happened to them however lately I started to feel disgust(not exactly but dont noe wat else) and can't feel anything when they are sick. Once my grandfather had a heart attack and all I could think of was "I should be worried". I have problems with my father who repeatedly make troubles bcause he kept thinking badly of my grandparents ( they were my mother's parents).I also use to hate my father but recently can't bring myself to. Everything simply went opposite. Deep down I knew it was because I unconsciousLy chose it this way as a defensive mechanism. What I want to know is, how I can change my mindset again...

I've dug myself in a hole I can't continue to be this person that I am
Posted Wednesday November 12 2014, 8:34 am
22 year old female and I realize I will never be normal. I had been diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder, but have always had symptoms. I'm not healthy. I believe I never will be. I can't continue to lie to myself. When I was 15 in a down rage I took a box cutter and went up and down my left arm with slashes. I still have to live with that because it's visible and we live in a very accepting world. I've been going back and forth into deep depression since before I could remember like middle school it just hasn't stopped since. Entire family has given up on me. And quite frankly I'm coming to terms with the fact that I will never lead a normal life.

Self Harming Friend
Posted Sunday October 26 2014, 11:24 pm
One of my friends self harms, I am the only one who knows about it. I too used to self harm so I know how hard it is. I want to be there for her but she annoys me so much. She is clingy and she always insults me. The worst thing is she guilt trips me into everything she wants me to do saying "do my homework or I will cut myself and it will be your fault" or "if you don't give me the money I will cut myself and we don't want that". I tried to stand up for myself but she just guilt tripped me in to shutting up. I know she is a toxic person but I feel guilty if I cut her out of my life, what shall I do? I am only 14 and I can't handle it, I just want to focus on getting my GCSES please help.

Am I losing my mind?
Posted Sunday October 26 2014, 1:02 pm
19, male. So over the past few months I've changed my perspective on many things. A few months ago I would have never behaved how I am now. It just seems like everything around me is fake. I've been planning on bringing an escort to my house as soon as my visiting family guests leave. I don't see the point in having a normal relationship at my age. I don't have the time for it anyway. My last relationship ended because I was always at work. Every time I see couples, they seem so fake and generic. Like everyone follows a made up standard of how a relationship should be. To add to it, I no longer see the point in being all emotional. Once you fall for it, if anything goes wrong, you get hurt. I let that happen to me before. I ended up ruinin...

Porn addiction - how do I get free of it?
Posted Friday October 17 2014, 11:07 pm
Hello, porn is wrecking my life. I am 24 and revert to it every few weeks or months for up to an hour - way too much. It makes me really depressed and I feel unstable mentally because of it. I don't want to pursue a relationship till I feel a bit more stable as I don't want to screw up anyone else's life. I guess the obvious answer is STOP DOING IT but it is like a drug that seems impossible to break! :(
