miserable and soo confused
Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 8:57 pm
14/f
Sometimes I get so miserable i cry forever. I talk to myself about a bunch or stuff. Sometimes people do stuff that annoys me but on another day I wouldn't care. Its not "that time of month". I cry for no reason sometimes. I get mad or sad for no reason either. I've been crying a lot lately for no reason. Small things are making me cry like for example if my mom tells me my boyfriend cant come over i'll start bawling my eyes out. Im not sure what it is. When Im mad i throw things, scream, kick, anything i can to release my anger (not body abuse). Im not sure if im just a miserable girl or if it's something else. Does anyone have any ideas? And has anyone else expirenced this or is expierencing it now? Please h...

How Do I Relieve Paranoia and Impulsivity
Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 7:13 pm
Hello my name is Emily and I am 22 from Canada. I found your culumn and felt that you were a good person to ask this too.
I have been a sufferer of mental illness for most of my life. I have Borderline Personality Disorder. Lately my paranoia and impulsivity have been ruining my life. All aspects of it. My significant other is deciding whether he wants to stay with me or not because I have hurt him twice due to my extreme paranoia and distrust issues. I was abused when I was young and I have been abandoned, so I have lots of past demons there. Ok onto my question do you have any suggestions how I can relieve or prevent my paranoia from getting in the way of my life as much? Are there any coping skills or techniques that you ...

Should i even be upset?
Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 6:47 pm
There's this guy that likes me [hes likes me back]
so I was going to see him today [he goes to a different school]
and when i stood next to him.. my other friend came out of nowhere and took me to see someone else. i tried getting a hold of my crush but he said he couldn't leave his backpack in the front.. and my friend had a grip on me.
so i was only gone for like 3 minutes.. i came out as quickly as i could but he wasn't there.
he didn't tell me he was leaving.. there was no bye.
it feels stupid to even be slightly upset.
And he also has my number! He could have called me but he didn't.
I was staying for him for about half an hour then realized he.. j...

My Boyfriend Is "Mean" To Me.
Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 4:04 pm
My boyfriend calls me names and tells me I am all sorts of horrible things. I don't think that is acceptable in the slightest, but I guess I DO, because I'm still with him, right? I have this state of mind that I am not all of the bad things he tells me I am, unless I stay with him... then I feel as if I have become those awful things. Which makes me feel like I deserve to hear everything he has to dish out. Afterall, why should he respect me when I don't even respect myself? Isn't that true?
Thing is, I wouldn't stand for this behavior from anyone but him, and that is a fact I am sure of! I have never taken poor treatment of any degree in the past, and I come from what someone would call the "perfect" family ...

Why am I feeling like this?
Posted Tuesday January 30 2007, 3:39 am
There's this guy and he's.. just all trouble.
He tried beating up this other dude. But he was harrassing the dude's girlfriend. So he just walked away from them.
He came over and talked to my ex. Managed to get into a fight. A little thing, maybe 2-3 punches were thrown.
My throat closed up. My heart was beating so loud. My eyes burned and I wanted to lay down.
Of course there was no serious damage..
but
I don't know why I'm feeling like this.
I'm really sad and I feel like I'm having an anxiety attack.
I really care about my ex [as a friend] and I don't want him to get hurt. But it happened so many hours ago and I still feel all weird by it.
Is there some reason why?

tourettes?
Posted Saturday January 27 2007, 1:55 pm
my boyfriends grandma on his dads side has tourettes so him, his mom, and i were wondering if he has it. he says it only happens if he gets nervous, sad, or mad. i was at his house last night and it was so sad. his neck will twitch and like his head kept going back because of it or to the side and twitch like 5 times. he said he doesnt really have control over it and he cant really make himself move when it happens. it was so sad because we were sitting up on the floor and i was holding him and he was trying to put his arms around me except he kept twitching and then he finally got his arms around me and he twitched and his arms like fell off of me so i think he gave up. does that sound like tourettes? it came out of nowhere though, like it...

sorry if this is long! i'm kind of confused. i'll start from the beginning. so, i hate my body. period. i find myself gross, even if everyone else say that i'm not. i'm short, and i'm stubby. i hate it, because it's genetic. once in awhile, i'll just look in the mirror, or i'll try on close and i just pretty much break down and start to cry. i'll put on clothes, take them off, put on new ones, take them off, because i feel so fat. yea, so basically i have a bad self-image, haha. alright, so this all started back in april-ish. this isn't always, but sometimes ill eat and i'll feel gross, so i'll purge. i feel good afterwords. i did this like sometimes 1 time a week, stop for 2 weeks, do it 3 times a week, etc. so that occured for like a few ...

Feeling Hopeless
Posted Friday January 26 2007, 4:16 pm
14/f
I really want to get in shape. I'm not fat or anything, I'm actually a size 0, and only 88 pounds. But I have alot of body issues. I never feel thin enough and I hate wearing tight clothes, because when I was younger, I used to be a little chubby. I've heard that if you have been on the overweight side once, that you always feel like you're overweight, even when you're not. Well here's my problem, food totally dominates my life. I can't go more than an hour without thinking about it. And sometimes when I'm alone, I totally binge, and eat ever single thing in sight. Or sometimes I will eat one cookie, and I flip out on myself. So I think to myself, "Well I ate one cookie, why not just eat the whole bag?" So I gi...
