Depressed?
Posted Friday July 7 2006, 12:37 pm
Okay, so I'm 18/f and I've never been technically diagnosed with depression, but lately I've lost the will to do like, anything. I had plans with my friends last night and didn't want to go - I went anyway and it was kinda fun, but I still didn't want to be there, and found myself drifting off into my own little world a lot.
The thing is, nothing in my life is really THAT bad right now. I have a few stresses going on, including financial and the all-too-popular body image thing, but still...
I hate feeling this way, especially when people around me have it so much worse. I don't feel that it's right, and I don't like it.
How do you get rid of this feeling?
I used to be able to control my emotions to the point th...

I worry about everything. I worry about high school (even though my grades are fine), college, public speaking, being myself, my weight (even though I'm average according to the scale), the future, MY future, money, getting a job, you name it. Sometimes I worry so much that I cry, even if it's worrying about something like a speech I have to present in 2 days or failing college because it's too hard. My mom gets angry when I tell her about my worries and she says that I worry too much. I've seen 2 therapists and taken medication. The medication helped a tiny bit, but not much, and the therapy didn't help at all. I'm 16. What should I do?

I might kind of be a cutter.
Posted Thursday July 6 2006, 3:13 pm
Alright. So i think i might sort of have a problem. A while ago (this year though) I started kind of cutting myself, but i didnt think of it as cutting. I didnt actually use a knife so i didnt think it was cutting. I just scratched my self w/ something sort of sharp, until i started bleeding. I did it twice the first time, and then the next time three smaller ones, and then the third time one small & one normal one. But their on my arm where a cutter would cut. And i think people think i'm trying to look like i cut, so i havent yet, and even though i'm not planning on doing it again, if i do i'm just gonna do it on my ankles.. But is that really considering cutting anyways? i mean its not like w/ a knife. When i told one of my like good...

My parents make me go to my grandparents house during the day, because they don't trust me in our house alone.
Well, a few days ago I was reading this book that I have to read for school. I finished the book, and my grandmother asked if she could read it then give it back to me. And I said sure, and gave it to her.
The thing is, I don't know what I was thinking, because the book has SO many cursewords and has sex (gasp) in it. And she's my grandmother...
My mom went over to my grandparents house today just for a visit, and my grandmother said she finished the book, and was concerned about my school, for assigning a book like that. She said she was really surprised about all the cursewords and that I was rea...

Am I crazy?
Posted Sunday July 2 2006, 7:36 am
Im 15 Years old, and for the past month or something i have been feeling really "out of it" for some reason. I mean there have been some stressful things going on like a couple of my friends have recently started cutting. I'm helping them out. but I'v just felt like I'm floating along, It's weird. I keep changing my mind on alot of things and I get really complicated thoughts about everything like how it will affect everything, even simple things. I get really confused easily. My bf and I had an argument and afterwards I asked him if he thought anything was wrong with me, He said he thought there was, but i dont know what is. Im really confused and i don't like feeling out of it. :(

Feeling Weird...
Posted Sunday July 2 2006, 12:20 am
Okay...for the past 3 years I have dealt with cutting and eating disorders and up until recently the problems have been under control...but I have been like..relapsing? I guess that'd be the word. When I get extremely angry or sad the only thing that comes to mind is cutting...idk why! I don't want to die, but it is so easy to relieve pain that way. Of course I haven't cut myself because even when I think about it, my mind wanders which brings me to another point. My mind is always off somewhere thinking about things...things that scare me or challenge me causing me to just be a very nervous person. I can be ecstatic one moment..and then become depressed and hate life the next. I have told my Mom bout this becuz I think I may have ocd or be...

Cats are deceiving us.
Posted Saturday July 1 2006, 1:10 am
Dear advicentator,
I have recently become violent towards all types of furry cats, and fear that they are out to get me. For example, when a kitten meows, I take it as a threat. I think they are from an evil alien planet, and their mission is to deceive humans into believing that they are innocent, but really they are corrupting our minds with lies with their sixth sense. Although, most people laugh at me, (or are just bloody scared at my awkward belief), and think that i am filled with rubbish; but i truly see cuddly cats as a threat to humanity. Recently, I killed a cat that was rubbing its fur on a little boy's leg to mark him as its prey. And do you know how I did it? I skinned that cat, and made the little boy cry. He didn't thi...

Afraid of people
Posted Saturday July 1 2006, 12:03 am
As weird as it sounds I just hate dealing with people.
Sure I do have friends, and I can make friends with people after a while. But I'm so anti social sometimes. I want to start working, but the only reason why I havent gone out to get a job it's because I'm shy and because I mostly dont want to talk to people.
I mean, even with my neighborhood friends [who i met trough my cousin] I dont even want to talk to them because i'm embarrased that I'll bore them or something.
I hate going out when it's not with childhood friends.
I cant even have someone look at me on the streets because I start feeling self concious.
I know it's not Antisocial Personality Disorder because people that have that are suposely aggr...
