Psycic?
Posted Friday May 26 2006, 5:24 pm
Ever since I was 14, I could read people's minds. It scared me at first, and it still sort of does because I don't know much about it.
Sometimes it happens randomly. I'll be thinking of something and suddenly I start to think something completely different that I can't control. This has happened with my siblings and parents before, and I've been able to tell them exactly what they were thinking/feeling.
My family is thinking about sending me to a doctor (I know this because they think about it alot). But there's nothing wrong with me.
Is this mind-reading thing normal? How do I tell my parents to not send me away? =(

Why am I so nervous?
Posted Thursday May 25 2006, 9:25 pm
It's so weird, for some reason tonight, I'm so nervous, I can't eat, I can't sit still, and I keep on thinking about what's going to happen at school tomorrow.
The problem is, I have n-o-t-h-i-n-g to be nervous about.
Any advice on how to
a.) calm myself
b.) figure out why I'm so tense/nervous
Thanks!

ocd
Posted Wednesday May 24 2006, 8:38 am
i think i may have OCD. i've read up on it and i have all the symptoms. i especially struggle with "obsessions" as in i get one little thought stuck in my head and i think about it over and over for months.
i've tried doing everything i can about it, but to no avail. i spoke to my mum about it but she thinks its just worry and stress. she won't take it at all that i may have a mental illness. i really want to see a therapist or a doctor, but i'm only 17. my question is, could i see someone without my mum finding out? like i said, i can't talk to her about it. if not, what's something i can do to help myself until i turn 18 and can see a doctor myself? it's really starting to affect and has been persisting for over a year now. please help me. thank you

im scared
Posted Monday May 22 2006, 8:12 pm
I know I'm anorexic and leaning towards being bulimic too. But that's not my problem(yes I know it's a problem but not the one I'm concerned with right now), but my problem is that I need to tell someone but I don't know how. I'm too afraid of what their reaction will be to tell someone. I asked my friend if she's read my online journal where I talked about it as kind of a hint for her to look at it but I don't think she got it. So should I just ask her to read my journal so that she knows and I don't have to come out and say it? (as you can prob tell...I have confrontation problems) Thanks! I rate high!!

Why do all girls seem to think this?
Posted Monday May 22 2006, 5:01 pm
I don't know why every girl seems to think that all men are controling ass holes. I know that most women have had bad experiences, but that's not excuse to totally rat on guys just because you've been hurt once or twice, because in the end that just gives you a worse imagen, and more of a reason for guy's to think that they actually do have more power then you. I'm a guy, but to be honest I'm not a normal one. I'ma girly man to be honest. But I do hate how all my girl friends complain to me about how guys are asses. I may not like a lot of people, but I still do find it offencive, and I'm tired of it

Skunk 1
Posted Sunday May 21 2006, 11:56 am
Last night I was at a party and I smoked skunk 1 (its supposed to be the best weed ever) well it was my first time smoking (that type of weed) and it had a BIG effect on me but NOT in a good way!
I literally thought I was going deaf (I heard a ringing in my ear and it got louder and louder) and then we went outside and I couldn't see anything, like I was losing my eyesight. My friends and I were so scared (but then 2 seconds later they forgot about it) but it lasted for 4 hours!! So does anybody know why this would happen to me?
Has this happened to anybody else and should I not smoke this kind of weed anymore?

Extreme Self-Destruction
Posted Friday May 19 2006, 1:28 am
This question is a little bit long, but I used good grammer so it's readable!
I'm really in a bad situation. I just got broken up with by a guy who I was with for over a year and it's been 3 weeks ever since and all I've felt like doing is drinking alcohol or anything that I can find. I've never drank before, so these are weird feelings for me. I've heard that when you drink, for a while you are numb, and for the longest time I've always thought that if I could have at least one moment with all of my problems forgotten, I'd do whatever it takes and it's so true for me. I can't stop wanting to do something extreme like cutting, or drinking or not eating. What I'm really looking for is something to numb the pain in the ...
