freaked me out...
Posted Thursday January 25 2007, 9:59 pm
I was taking a shower a few hours ago and when I got out, I went to turn the heater off because it felt like it was getting a little too warm in the bathroom I was in. When I got out of the shower and went to turn it off, I all of a sudden got extremely dizzy, and from the corners of my peripheral vision started seeing fuzzy, green optical illusions until I couldn't see anything, which was terrifying...my head started to hurt really badly, and when I could see again, the bathroom light was off. I was still standing in the same position and everything but I couldn't remember turning the light off. What could have possibly happened? What could have caused this? Please help?

I think I'm an impulsive liar
Posted Thursday January 25 2007, 7:42 pm
OKay, basicly I lie about the stupidest things that aren't true. But everyonce in a while I'll say this HUGE lie that I didn't realise I was thinking of or saying until it's already out polluting the air. It really scares me and I don't know how to handle it. I've never told anyone about this... I'm just so confused and I'm really scared that I'm going to get myself into trouble...
PS> if you have any idea what causes this please help...

A little crazy
Posted Wednesday January 24 2007, 7:49 pm
I have a tough life and I sometimes create a better life for myself. I use people I care about or others, and I use them to comfort me. Does that make me crazy because I think about them? I make stories or illusions with them. Do i belong in a mental institute?

Depressions
Posted Tuesday January 23 2007, 10:45 pm
15/f. Since probably elementary school, I've had "depressed" periods and overly happy periods. I feel a depression coming on. They usually come after a happy period. I usually get one when I feel like my friends don't like me or I just feel like people don't like me in general, or when I feel like my parents nag me too much, or even not being in a musical or performance for a while can do it. Little things can trigger it. Is there something wrong with me? Can I do anything to make it milder? I hate feeling this way.

Overwhelmed With Depression.
Posted Tuesday January 23 2007, 7:07 pm
13/f.
Warning: Very long.
In school I play it cool, when I'm by my family I'm neutral, but when I'm by myself or talking with my boyfriend I completely loose it. My entire family has a long line of deep depression for the females on my mom's side. All of my family members take anti-depressents. My mom, my aunt, grandmother, cousins, my great-grandmother used to take them before she died. She was crazier than anyone could ever imagine - she'd spent five years in a mental institution. I my self have been in one for exactly 8 days before they released me because, just like I do in school and in front of my family, I play it like nothing's wrong.
I've begun to continually cut myself. I know I need to quit. ...

no independence/self esteem gets embarased easily
Posted Monday January 22 2007, 10:18 pm
15/f
I am not indpendent at all, and I get embarrased over the smallest things. Even if its just walking to togos to order a sandwich I get embarassed unless I'm with my friends. I get embarrassed ordering food from restaurants and paying for clothes and i feel i'm not independent but i need to learn to be. I really have no friends at school (there all really mean to me and are obnoxious to be around with) what are some ways to help with that with the embarrassment and independence problem; i keep reminding myself you''ll never see these people again, but it bugs me SOrry if its in the wrong category.

Helping
Posted Sunday January 21 2007, 10:28 pm
This is for people who are mental health professionals: I just want to ask should a therapist bring in his skeptiscm when he/she is treating someone. I mean my female cousin was seeing a male therapist who (1)never listens; (2) was hard to open to due to the fact that he never helped solve the problems he just acted the way a friend would. For example: My cousin told her therapist that her boss told her not to do certain things on the job and my cousins male therapist said; why that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Another example: Her previous boss wanted his old secretary to come back because he missed her so he was very mean to my cousin. However, the male therapist did not help her deal with it instead he said (1) what...

obsession.
Posted Sunday January 21 2007, 12:55 pm
Like many people in high school living in a cold area, Im obsessed with summer. I cant wait. I look back at last summer (most amazing time of my life) and I want that so bad. I cant focus on anything but getting out of school and getting crazy. Is this normal or am I like the only one? Because none of my friends are as excited/anxious about summer as me. Theyre excited to go skiing..Anyway, I think I may have seasonal depression. What do I do about all this?!

Birthday party depression?
Posted Saturday January 20 2007, 7:56 pm
I come from a fairly poor family (we are barely holding onto our house, and I pay for my own food, clothing, school supplies, etc.) I turned 16 in November but was unable to have any kind of party (we can't even afford chips and soda for an at-home party). It upset me at the time but I thought I'd gotten over it. Recently, for whatever reason, I've been really upset that I didn't get to have a sweet sixteen. A lot of people forgot my birthday too! I had tried to feel better before by reminding myself that I could have a big 18th or 21th birthday party...but I'll turn 17 as a senior and so all my friends will be in college when I turn 18. I don't know, I just feel like I've missed out on a rite of passage and that makes me really sad. Any ideas to make me feel a little better?

eating
Posted Saturday January 20 2007, 5:38 pm
first off, i do not have annorexia or bulimia. i always watch what i eat & exercise a few times a week. the thing is, if i do eat something out or fattening, i am ALWAYS thinking about it & cry over it. i know i have to eat & i hate throwing it up, so i do not do those things. i skip meals a lot. what is it that i have?? i think i am afraid of becoming fat but a lot of people say i might have an eating disorder mentally & just don't follow through with not eating//throwing it up. i can't fix it. i've tried & many people say i am not fat. but i think i am & i also afraid of getting there. i'm around 5'9 & 145ish lbs. idk. any ideas??
thanks!!

Losing my self confidence
Posted Friday January 19 2007, 9:39 pm
After a brutual breakup with my boyfriend
(one month ago)
I've noticed I haven't had hardly any of the
self-confidence I had before our realtionship.
Now a days, I find myself skipping meals,
complaining about my looks, and drowning myself
in wishes to be prettier. I'm actually
a decent looking person, I used to have
self-confidence. I hardly cared what people
said or thought about me, I was always crazy
and outgoing, doing something to make people
laugh.
Now, I spend hours infront of a mirror
complaining about my looks. I compare myself
to prettier people, I think twice before
I dare do anything funny, and I'm ALWAYS
