What is this?
Posted Sunday October 15 2006, 5:22 pm
I'm a fourteen year old female.
Ever since I was eight, I've noticed these little patterns I have. Before I throw a backhand spring at cheerleading practice I have to count to eight three times.
Sometimes I wish for somethings, such as longer hair, and before I completed my wish I have to touch every end of my hair. (same if I wished for new clothes, I'd have to touch all my clothes atleast once.)
I feel as if I don't touch all of them, my wish won't come true.
Everything has to be in ABC order and all my sentenced have to have a period at the end, even if they're questions.
Is there something wrong with me?
What should I do?

Teenage Years : (
Posted Friday October 13 2006, 9:57 pm
My friends dont know me anymore. I've changed so much and I don't know what to do. I'm always the "good girl" that would never do anything bad or wrong. I've been labeled that for the past 2 years and I hate it. Everyone know's me as the "always happy, preppy, good girl". But I'm not like that anymore. I love doing crazy things that are shocking. I want a tattoo and my belly button pierced. I want to drink & try new things (haha not drugs though!) I wanna have fun.
See this all started happening when I became close to this one girl. Her name is Erica. She is a senoir and i'm a freshmen. She's really cool and laid back. She's one of my best friends. We hang out all weekend and talk almost everyday on t...

embarrasing truth
Posted Thursday October 12 2006, 2:26 pm
i believe i have an embarrasing problem and i hesitate to even ask it's so embarrasing.
it all started in the 6th grade when i was with my best friend, and we were laughing a little and i already had to go to the bathroom, and i peed in my pants. that's been three years and it still haunts me. lately, i'm terribly paranoid of going on myself and it only seems to affect me when i'm at school or taking a long car trip. for the past week or so, i've been telling my teachers that i'm about to throw up and that i need to go to the restroom immediately, but in reality, i just need to go to the bathroom. it wouldn't be so bad if i actually had to go once i got to the bathroom, but i would barely go at all. the longest i can not go at schoo...

I don't know. (long)

Alright I think I have depression or am bipolar or something. You see, most of the time I am so happy and I just have a positive outlook on life. But other times, like right now, I totally hate myself and think no one likes me, which I know isn't true. But I can't get this feeling of low self confidence away and idk what's causing it. It's stopping me from having fun with my friends, and that even depresses me more, I don't even enjoy going out sometimes because I fell like evryone is so much better than me and doesn't want me around. I have a great life and I just wish I could not be so down all the time. I sometimes start crying for no reason and just am in a really terrible mood, and then I feel like I'm wasting time I could have been ha...

judging me
Posted Friday October 6 2006, 5:40 am
Now that I am 19 years old I feel like everyone has something to say. If I am feeling hurt about something people have an attitude like I should be treated badly. I am not even bothering them and they have this judgement on me.

Suicde attempt
Posted Wednesday October 4 2006, 9:36 pm
Well, my friend told me that nail polish if you drank enough would kill you. Please don't lecture me or anything....but, recently I have been just really sad and mad at the world and I feel like my world is crashing down. I drank about a third of the bottle about 30 minutes ago. Nothing has happened so far. I don't know what to do. I was talking to my bf at the moment I made the decision and he kept telling me please, no, don't do it. But I didn't listen and I did it. He was mad at me when I told him I did, and he's never been this mad at me before. He won't talk to me now. If I live, what should I do now? I still feel like theres nothing to live for, and what is worth living for, him, everyone keeps me away from him. Or will I ...

small noises
Posted Monday October 2 2006, 1:55 am
I don't know why, but small noises (such as people smacking their lips when they eat, or someone breathing heavily) make me really annoyed. I can't talk to anyone if they are doing something like that, because I can't concentrate. Can someone tell me what's going on??

Oh, Mother. (long)
Posted Sunday October 1 2006, 9:17 pm
I don't know what I did, or why she reacted this way.. Like an hour ago, my mom stormed out of the house, crying.. freaking out..
I can understand why she had a breakdown, but I don't know why she said what she did, and acted that way. My grandfather, her dad, passed away just about a week and a half ago. Because of this, it has put her behind in school, to become a nurse. There are other factors, but those two seem to be most stressful at this point.
The trigger was my father not filling up the dog's water dish. (Let me say that they have been married for over 20 years, and out of my 17 years of being alive, I have never seen them hug.) I was in my room and heard her screaming bloody murder. I went out in the ...

cyclothymia/ptsd/at risk for psychotic breakdown
Posted Sunday October 1 2006, 2:56 pm
I have all the mental illnesses listed in the subject line.
For the five-hundredth time since I was diagnosed, I will explain what cyclothymia is. Cyclothymia is a milder version of bipolar disorder but it sure doesn't feel like it. It affects less than one percent of people in the US.
I have post-traumatic stress disorder which has manifested itself through voices and A LOT OF noise in my head, and also obsessive compulsive disoder.
I see a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I'm told that I'm at risk for a psychotic breakdown.
I'm scared and I don't like being mentally ill. How do I keep calm when everything in my head is so loud and stressful? Medications don't help anymore.

TO ALL YOU INDEPENDANT WOMEN - help.
Posted Saturday September 30 2006, 2:47 pm
I'm becoming one of you. Now - I'm finally joining your club. I am removing myself from the depression. I am not surrendering, and I am most definitely taking control. I need a change. There will be no more feeling like I don't care, no more "nothing matters, so i dont need to care about my grades, my looks, my life..myself!" NONE OF THAT. This is the new me. I'm willing to work so hard to become one of you. Independant. I no longer want to feel like i have to find a great husband in the future because im too weak and too much of a failure to be able to take care of myself. I no longer want to feel the nedd to impress my family or my friends. I want my happiness to depend on ME. No more letting ex relationships control me. No more...

I'm confused about my sexuality
Posted Tuesday September 26 2006, 12:56 am
I'm really confused about my sexuality. There are so many things that turn me on. I have no idea which ones for me. I don't know if I'm gay, straight, or bi. I don't know what I'm into. I'm so ashamed of the things that get to me. I mean we're talking like Jerry Springer style wierd. I have no idea what to do. I can't go out and experiment to find what I like because I can't even get a date, yet alone a sexual encounter, and even worse of a chance of getting a kinky sexual encounter. I'm so confused. I'm so scared. What can I do? I know it's naive to ask how to get rid of it, but what can I do? Please help me.
