Singing and Bi Polar or ADHD?
Posted Monday July 14 2014, 2:50 pm
Ever since I was about six years old I always used to sing in the car. I was not very good at it but it was something that I did. I knew all the lyrics and song titles etc.) Now that I have been driving on my own for 5 yrs I always sing in the car very loudly and I am not any good. When I sing I feel very good. I will NEVER sing around anyone because I know that I am terrible at it. However, in my car I feel safe and no one can judge me so I will jam out to my favorite songs over and over sometimes.
Could these be manic episodes that I am having for all these years? I am 23. Or could it be ADHD?
I sing in the house too but only when there is no one around. I dance too sometimes also not very good at that but ...

ADHD or Bi Polar Disorder?
Posted Monday July 14 2014, 2:36 pm
Four years ago I have been suffering with terrible anxiety and panic attacks. I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder. I was taking clonazepam for it 1mg 2x daily.
However, about a year ago I researched what ADHD was and I thought I matched all the symptoms. I went to go see my Psychiatrists and he was willing to try Ritalin. I immediately had so much energy and was finally able to keep a job for the few months I was on it. I then read the Rx label and it said may cause new bi polar symptoms including mania. I also found out it was a controlled narcotic.
I went back to my Psychiatrists told him about how much evergy I had and he then diagnosed me with Bi Polar I. He put me on Abilify which I only tried for one da...

I need advice about myself. I always feel like crying though I'm happy.
Posted Thursday July 10 2014, 4:17 pm
Hello! I'm from China. I come here because I need advice. I always feel like crying, but I don't know why. Everyone says I'm happy and lucky. I always get high marks in exams and I'm gifted. I'm healthy too. I have lots of friends and everyone loves me. You see, I can't feel anything that bothers me or make me sad. Even so, my lips tremble crazily out of a sudden.

Strange Dreams
Posted Sunday June 29 2014, 6:57 pm
I keep having weird dreams and I don't know if they're anything to worry about or not. They kind of weird me out, especially since theyre so vivid and often times, violent. Most disturbingly, they involve violent acts against people I care about.
Recently, I had a dream involving my sixteen year old fraternal twin sons. My relationship with my son, Aaron hasn't been great the past year and a half or so, but for about the past month, things have been going so much better. Then Thursday night, I had a dream that my son, Joe was kidnapped. The scene my mind came up with was disturbing. He was laying on a bed on his side with his hands handcuffed behind his back, one of his ankles was handcuffed to the bed, he had duct tape over...

Obsessing over a fictional person.
Posted Sunday June 29 2014, 4:04 am
This is a little embarrassing, especially because I'm a 20 year old female. ._.
But I think I kind of fell "in love" with a fictional character from a movie. (I don't know if "love" is the right word here.)
This happened a few days ago when I saw the movies for the first time. Now I can't stop thinking about that person and I need to watch the movies over and over again, or read "fanfiction" about them so I don't feel lost or completely sad.
I even have a boyfriend (Who I haven't seen since I watched the movies, I'll probably see him in 2 days) which makes this even worse and even more silly. I don't really care much about the actor himself, I like him and I find him attractive but that's i...

racing thoughts ?
Posted Saturday June 28 2014, 12:06 pm
So I'm only 15 and a sophomore in high school. I remember when I was a kid my classmates would call on me to read the next piece of the book and I would read it extreamly fast but I prounced every word and didn't studder, I am a very good reader but since we were younger they couldn't keep up. So after awhile my teacher stopped calling on me to read because I read to fast for them to comprehend the infomation , but I didn't mind that. Example is in 7th grade I was reading at an 11 grade level not a 7th graders. Then personally I started reading really fast too but I maintained all the information perfectly still. For example I read a book that was 600 pages in one day. And now as I'm 15 I've realized over the years that I jump from topic t...

Posted Thursday June 19 2014, 1:44 pm
So I am in the 8th grade- going into 9th. I'm pretty sure this all started in 5th grade btw... but I think I have a depression/ anxiety/ bipolar disorder. I've taken A LOT of these quizzes and screenings online for them and it states that I have a high case of it and I should get some help just in case...

is this normal?
Posted Monday June 16 2014, 12:57 pm
When I laugh i REALLY laugh. Like at lunch a friend cracked a joke and it made me start choking on my food. And if I even remember something funny, I'll burst out laughing. Sometimes at home,I just laugh out of no where. I don't see things, or hear voices (thank God), I just laugh. If my dream is funny, I smile in my sleep, and giggle in my sleep. The weird thing is, though, I make the lamest jokes I don't even understand, which makes other people laugh. Why do I do this?

Please Help with Irrational Fears
Posted Monday June 16 2014, 11:04 am
I am a 26 year old woman and I get so frustrated with myself because I have quite a few irrational fears. What doesn't make sense is that I KNOW they're irrational and I'm still afraid of them anyway.
My sister's getting married Saturday and insisted that I get a tan for the wedding. My choices were to get a spray tan or get a real one. Since spray tans aren't really my jam, I chose to get a real one with the use of a tanning bed. Today was about my fifth day to do so and its so hard for me to relax in those beds. I keep thinking about getting overheated, getting burned, getting skin cancer, damaging my eyes and most ridiculously, the plastic over the bulbs breaking or melting or one of the bulbs exposing or something.

crying in my dreams?
Posted Saturday June 14 2014, 6:13 pm
I've recently noticed that I often cry in my dreams.. Sometimes I can tell I was crying while I was sleeping as well, because there are dry tears on my face. This morning I was really tired because I wake up at 5 every morning for really no reason and I fell asleep (is this a problem?). Usually when I cry in my sleep I dream about being late for something, and whenever I'm late for something in real life, I start crying. I don't get why I would be dreaming about this because school is over now. I'm very shy and I get depressed a lot, so is that maybe why it happens? So, what does it mean when I cry in my sleep? Is there any way I can keep it from happening? Thank you for reading..please help me.

suddenly stopped talking…?
Posted Monday June 9 2014, 12:12 pm
So what happened was I yelled at my sister because I was trying to get undressed and she wouldn't leave me alone, then my dad put his finger on my head and told me to stop screaming like I'm the parent or he'll smash my head. After that I went in my room and I didn't make any noise and when I try to talk no noise came out and when I did get words to come out I started breathing heavily and covered my mouth and cried a bit. Note this isn't the first time my dad has done something like what he said to me. He's done worse. But it didn't affect me much until now. I try to do stuff like read things then my voice gets lower, and lower, and quicker.

How to stop feeling weird and off?
Posted Sunday June 1 2014, 6:25 pm
I'm an 18 year old girl and I've been dealing with depression for about about a year now and I'm trying to get better. But sometimes (like now for instance) where I just have this consuming feeling of being off. It's like I'm not quite myself and I feel strange and weird. Sometimes I want to hide from everyone or sometimes I just start crying from feeling this way. I hate it more then any feeling I get when depressed. I feel like I'm not me and like I'm off. Does anyone else get this feeling? I might be crazy but does anyone know how to stop it or make it better because I can't stand being like this and it usually continues until I go to bed and when I wake up I'm fine. But I can't just go to sleep in the middle of the day. Any advice?

I literally feel others pain.
Posted Saturday May 17 2014, 8:58 pm
I'm not delusional, and if you don't believe me, leave now. I will only ignore your answer if you don't believe what I'm saying, don't waste your time and typing. For example, someone I just met and only interacted with once and never spoke to again. I suddenly had a hunch on her relationship with a girl and found out every last detail was correct. At school a woman was talking about her spinal cord injury, and said she cracked her neck, and a back bone got broken or whatever. Then my neck and spine inexplicably started hurting. Happens for everything. Is this weird? Mom says I'm an empath or something like that…

Nightmares
Posted Monday May 12 2014, 9:42 am
I have nightmares almost every night. And even if I don't have nightmares, I constantly remember my dreams. And it's stressing me out. I know that every person dreams but most people don't remember them. I do. It's like they're happening to me in real life, so I always feel tired after waking up. For example if I dream about taking a long walk, I'll literally feel like I took a long walk when I wake up.
Is there anything I can do about this? I also want to get rid of these constant nightmares :( They're either about people that are really important to me not liking me anymore or about monsters trying to kill me. I know it sounds pretty odd. Help? :(
