Feminine
Posted Thursday November 9 2006, 8:56 pm
I don't feel feminine or look feminine, in my opinion. Guys do say I'm a girl. I mean I'm about to have a C Cup but it's just my face that's bothering me. I have shoulder length hair.. it's just one weird length, poofy hair. (Products do not work. I need a haircut, but I dont want short hair). My eyebrows are messed up and too thin. My face.. the bone structure to me.. looks like a man's. I dont know. Is there anything I can do?
Because I've seen all these other girls at school.. they look Feminine... and really pretty.
But compared to them all.. I look like an ugly boy.
I want to feel pretty and look like a girl.
I'm not a tomboy and I don't wear baggy clothes.. it's just my face.
I wear makeup too.. but.. its not working.

Alone?
Posted Thursday November 9 2006, 7:00 pm
14/f
I hate being alone, for starters. Today, I fell asleep, and when I woke up no one was home. My mom & dad took my brother to basketball tryouts. I hate being home alone, or forgotten.. so to speak. Plus, I overeact easily & am very emotional. I then, thought I'd run away, but.. I didn't wanna leave without my dog. So, that backfired, I then was gonna try to like cut myself, but that didnt work, because I got a paper cut, & it hurt, so yeah. ha... then, I tried to look for medication, so I could like kill myself. That didn't work out.. I couldn't find any.
I get like that alot, & like in my head.. i'm telling myself this is retarded, stop it! But, I can't help it.
How can I make this better?

I worry about everything.
Posted Wednesday November 8 2006, 4:13 pm
I think way too much and I can't help it, I've been doing this since I was a little kid. I overreact to the most stupid things. For example, I have trouble falling asleep because I'm up worrying about college and I'm only a SOPHOMORE in high school. My mom yelled at me for being late for school today and I wanted to cry about it. And, my friend didn't say bye to me when I left school and it got me in the worst mood. My mind immediately jumps to the worst scenario, like "OMG she didn't say bye because she hates you!" and I freak out about it. Sometimes I wish I could turn my mind off, because now I'm getting in these terrible moods and yelling at people because I worry too much. I always think that people hate me but I know that's ...

Is this normal?
Posted Monday November 6 2006, 9:23 pm
I've always had flashbacks. When it's quiet and I'm thinking or if I'm just not doing anything memories of embarrassing moments come up and they don't relate to anything. The oldest one I can recall is from fifth grade. To make things even more unusual the only way I can surpress the memories is by pinching or biting myself, then it usually gets out of my head. Is any of this normal? Memories, biting, pinching..etc. I would like to stop doing this because it's really caused a lot more depression than anything else in my life but I'm not sure where to start. Help would be appreciated.

Depression, or maybe overly stressed
Posted Monday November 6 2006, 3:55 pm
So basically, I haven't been in school for like a week, I just don't go, I don't know why or anything, I just don't go to school. I also have a couple of pending court cases so I'll only miss more school, I really can't afford to miss all this school. However, I really can't seem to go to school at the same time. I was wondering if perhaps anyone could analyze what's going on with me right now or if other people have ever seemed to have this problem. Thanks.

hearing voices in my head
Posted Thursday November 2 2006, 10:34 pm
Hi,
Sometimes, i think that i'm hearing voices in my head. My friend said that she thinks i may need to see a psychiatrist.
I'm under a really cheap health plan that doesn't offer a lot of medical coverage. I don't even know if it covers therapy actually.
Anyway, i'm wondering if anyone knows of a psychiatrist who charges relatively inexpensive rates (because i'm unemployed now.)
Thanks.

stress and how to deal with it
Posted Thursday November 2 2006, 10:31 pm
I've been under a lot of stress lately and was wondering if anyone knew of any good therapists in manhattan. I live on the upper west side, so anywhere near the uws would be great. Also, in general, i also need Career Advice. I've been unemployed for several months, can't find a job, and it's been affecting my confidence levels.
I have been (extremely) down lately and need some advice on what to do... in terms of both mental health and career. Thank you.

Cutting
Posted Wednesday November 1 2006, 2:28 am
Alright. This is going to sound really emo, but I need advice. When I was 13 or 14, I was dianosed with depression. I cut a couple times. Then I basically overcame it, and moved to Nevada, where now everything's basically great. Until yesterday. I was working on my Halloween costume, and I was using a razor knife to cut the head box. The knife slipped and sliced my arm. It hurt, but it felt like all my problems came gushing out of that cut. I hate to admit it, but every time something bad happened today, I thought of that cut, and I wanted to do it again. And again and again and again. I don't want to get into this shit again. Please help.
