Sleep, or lack thereof
Posted Thursday July 27 2006, 6:43 am
This is quite long, sorry.
Ever since I was young, I've had what I suppose are 'bad' dreams. I've never really considered them bad, beacuse I've had them all my life. They generally involve running to things and running from things that want to hurt me. Some of the more vivid dreams have included me being beaten up, shot and almost raped [none of which, despite the pain, I've woken from like you see in the movies]. Most of these I don't really recall and I do know that the vividness and frequency is directly related to stress. However I found out today that I still have these sorts of dreams at least once a week, even though as far as I'm concerned I haven't been. And apparently they must be the vivid sort, since apparently I...

You ever feel like your wasted space? Just waiting for someone to prove you wrong. Like you want to hurt yourself but you don't want to feel the pain. What do you do then?

How do i get people to understand im not obsessed with mysel
Posted Monday July 24 2006, 2:55 am
Ok, i am the last person in the world to ever try to show off my looks or my body, and i hate talking about my appearance because i am so slender. People tell me im gorgeous, and that i'll be happy i was skinny when i was young because ill benifit later in life. Everyone tells me i could be a model blah blah . I hate it. Especially since people think models are all b*tchy and high maintanence. So one day, i applied on model search america.com, and they phoned me back and want me to go to las vegas for an interview. How do i even tell anyone about this? If i tell my friends they'll think im trying to get attention. Im obviously not gonna go , but still. Please tell me what i should do! Emma

MPD or Bipolar?
Posted Sunday July 23 2006, 2:13 am
I don't know what is wrong with me. I've been getting really nervous when certain people talk to me. When this happens, I start shaking and come very close to crying. A few nights ago I started laughing, crying, and screaming at the same time. I have an idea of why, but I can't seem to pinpoint an exact, rock-solid reason. Also, I sometimes find objects in my hands that I don't remember picking up or even seeing. I've been told by cloes friends of conversations that I can't remember happening, and e-mails I don't remember sending. Does anybody know what could be wrong?

Mags

Which magazines do you read? I am open to anything and trying to decide the best news/music/entertaining magazine.
I subscribe to Times, Ellegirl and Jane. I don't know if I should continue my subscriptions to Mad Magazine, Blender, Seventeen, and Teen Vogue. Comsopolitan seems interesting..
Also, if anyone read Ms. or Bust and liked it, please review them for me, thanks!!

How Do I Help an Agoraphobic?
Posted Wednesday July 19 2006, 10:44 am
My sister is the youngest in our family and suffers from depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, she also suffers from agoraphobia and has been housebound for over six years. She still lives at home with our mom who seems to be enabling her condition. (My mother is separated from my dad and would otherwise be alone in the house.)
Although I live a fair distance away, I try to go over when I can and get my sister out of the house by taking her to the store. But otherwise, she doesn't bother going out. I have a couple of other siblings who are of no help.
Additionally, as my husband and I get closer to retirement age, he is starting to get concerned that once my mom passes away, that my sister will become my ...
