Bulimia?
Posted Wednesday July 19 2006, 12:06 am
Ive always had low self-esteem but for the past few weeks it has really hit a high point. About two weeks ago I ate too much after being on a great diet and losing almost 15 pounds and I weighed myself for the first time then since I had lost weight and i already gained 2 pounds back. I know it wasnt much but it made me so upset that I decided that I would just throw it up and just not eat for the rest of the night. Since then its become a habit. Ill eat a regular sized meal and then throw it up, eat later in the day, keep it and just not eat again. Some days I dont eat at all because I know that I will just want to throw it up later. I really scared myself and Ive been okay for the past few days, but I dont want to feel like I need to thro...

Scared
Posted Saturday July 15 2006, 12:06 am
Ok... I am in a bad way. I am constantly telling myself something is wrong with myself... I have a disease, or I have cancer, or something worse, and it spirals. I can never shake these thoughts, when I know in reality that I am simply a normal, happy, and healthy human being. But, because of these thoughts, it has been noted that I am slowly spiraling into depression, when I seem to already have a bi-polar disorder, and I have been told that those two do not make such a hot combination. I really wish I could stop these thoughts, and get my life back on track. I used to do all these activities... Almost every sport I could get my hands on, student council, energy club, drama camp... and I just suddenly dropped out of everything. I want my l...

social anxiety
Posted Thursday July 13 2006, 7:17 pm
Sorry, this may be a bit long...
I have a non-severe (or I don't think it's severe) case of social anxiety. I'm 13/f and I've always been very shy...I'm not the people type and I don't really like talking and dealing with people too much. I don't like going places by myself and I don't like picking up the phone OR drawing attention to myself. Usually I have some one go with me all the time to places and talk to people for me, and everyone is starting to get annoyed with the fact that I always need them for simple things. My mom recently got me a book about it and I don't like it AT ALL because I don't understand it...so now she wants me to go to a counselor!!!! I DON'T want to go to any shrink whatsoever because I don't think...

When I go back to school I want to be changed. I have good looks, but I have very low self esteem. My last year has been very rough dealing with my friends starting drugs, sucky boyfriends, and just family/money problems.
I want to come back this year with confidence and a happier personality. I don't have alot of friends because we've all just gone our own way. How can I reevaluate myself and be proud of what I have, and act and be more fun to be around? Thanks.

Worried about my Mom
Posted Tuesday July 11 2006, 4:52 pm
My dad pasted away from leukemia 4 months and 10 days ago (March 1st). Well right now, we're (my mom, brother, and I) in Ireland visiting family. We've been here for about 3 weeks. Well for then past 2 weeks my mom has been acting very different and forgetful. When she goes to do the dishes or something, when she's done, she'll come and sit down then get up and say that she needs to do the dishes. When she gets into the kitchen and sees that there are no dishes (because she already did them) she'll ask "Who did the dishes? I was about to do them!" It's so weird. She'll also repeats herself all the time and never wants to go out or do anything.
We're all so worried about her but we don't know what to do. My f...

Fear of Dogs
Posted Tuesday July 11 2006, 12:06 pm
Hey everybody! I'm 14/f. Well, I have a fear of dogs. It's just that when they get close to me I'm so afraid and start to take off. Once when I was a young kid, my next-door neighbor's dog Kiki was chasing after me and I literally thought that it was going to kill me. I don't want to be afraid of dogs because I think they are the cutest things ever, especially puppies. Does anyone have any advice on how I can overcome my fear of dogs...I would really appreciate it! Thanks.

What is wrong with me?
Posted Tuesday July 11 2006, 5:41 am
For the past few months, I've been feeling sad very often. I'm 15, female, and I guess I feel sort of alone. I constantly think about death, how I don't have many good friends, and how I don't have anything I really need to be happy.
I'm also on a diet, I've lost 20 pounds, because I think I need to be skinnier.
I guess what I'm asking is, am I depressed? And do I need some sort of help? My mom knows how I feel and she is always lecturing me about it. I just want to know what I can do to not feel this way.

Is this something wrong with me?
It's not a constant thing, but I have some real problems with anger at times. For example before.. Mom and I were in the car and I was crying.. been bogged down by stress, friends issues, and a recent breakup. Then I totally lost it because I felt she wasn't listening to me. I started throwing everything everywhere and kicking and screaming, telling her to listen to me. she tried to act all "calm" about it and even tried to change the topic and ignore what I was saying. I got mad and told her to stop being calm and lose the tone. I got even madder, and then something snapped. I put my fingers in the car window, and pushed the button up until my fingers got caught and kept doing it ti...
