im a scratcher?
Posted Saturday April 29 2006, 5:47 pm
im 15/f and i've got a really wierd problem. First of all, don't call me an emo or any of that nonsense or i will give you a 1, i am most definantly not.
so when my dad screams at me (about once or twice a day) he usually yells pretty bad, verbally abusing me, it hurts. so ever since i was younger instead of cry or let out my pain, because if i cried he would get even madder at me, i would pinch myself very hard or scratch myself secretly with my hands behind my back or so. i was about 7 when i started this. now this year it has gotten worse, i am getting screamed at for nothing and it has been worse then ever. i started scratching myself until i bleed. not until the skin is red, until blood is dripping. now i have...

Phobia
Posted Saturday April 29 2006, 1:39 pm
40's(f)I have a phobia of vomiting, me or other people. I have tried counselling, hypnotherapy, NLP and confrontational therapy. Nothing has worked. I have run out of ideas on how to beat this. Does anyone have any other suggestions on things to try and has anyone had this problem and got rid of it? If so, how? Thanks.

Lost that feeling somewhere...
Posted Saturday April 29 2006, 12:47 pm
i'm 23/ f. i've been with this guy for almost 4 years. i was diagnosed with ocd 6 years ago. for the last couple of years i've started to feel like we've lost the spark we once had. i'm not very attracted to him anymore and the sex is terrible. but its like this: for a few days ill agonize over how im going to tell him its over, then the next few days, i'm happier and want to stick with him. i know with time, things arent as exciting, but is it wrong of me to want to have passion and feel "in love" all the time? most of the time i'm miserable. i love him very much, he's funny and sweet and practically worships me. i want more than anything to be happy with him, because he's already told me that if i were to leave him, if we were t...

Obsessive thoughts?
Posted Saturday April 29 2006, 8:32 am
Hi,
I have an issue with obsessive thoughts. Someone will tell me one small bad thing about their past, and I won't be able to get it out of my mind for weeks. I know this sounds really messed up, but it really affects me. For example, my friend told me he used to have a addiction with porn. I keep thinking about this, and it upsets me. Yet I don't know why, because it's NO big deal.
Someone suggested this may be a sign of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I don't do any actions over and over, it's only the thoughts that I have a problem with. Could this be a serious problem? Is there anything I can do to stop these thoughts? I don't really want to see a psychologist or whatnot if I can do something on my own to help myse...

sadness
Posted Friday April 28 2006, 2:18 pm
My problem is not depression. I have never been diagnosed with anything, and there is nothing "the matter" with me. My only problem is that I feel unhappy for 90% of my waking life. I am nearly 23 and I often feel ugly and unattractive, despite what boyfriends have said to the contrary. I feel that I will never have a decent partner, a loving man who i will be able to have children with. So far, all the men I have dated have just been out for what they can get. It is a side issue, but I wonder whether there are any MEN who get angry at the way a lot of men treat women. There must be some out there, I'm not saying all you guys are a**holes.
But I digress......
Basically, I just wonder if any of you ou...

asking mom
Posted Thursday April 27 2006, 8:29 pm
I think that I need a psychiatrist. I know that I do, I feel very depressed and I cut myself. My mom sees a psychiatrist. I'm just afraid of asking my mom and dad (they are divorced, so I can't sit them down together) if I can go to a therapist. I was wondering of anyone knew any ways of bringing it up or any suggestions of how to talk about it. I'm uncomfortable bringing it up and I really don't want my parents to know how depressed and frightend I feel. If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it.

Metal Mouth Nerd!
Posted Wednesday April 26 2006, 6:20 pm
I have had braces for about 8.5-9 months now and so far, I'm not liking it. When I look at myself in the mirror, I don't think of myself as beautiful anymore, because theres disgusting metal on my teeth. Having braces has lowered my self esteem twice as much as my self esteem was before I had them. I feel like a dork and sometimes I even regret getting them. I've tried telling my friends and family about this, but they've all had them and they say their little stories just to make me feel worse. Even some of the kids in school teased me about my braces before. Like one guy had a metal pen in his hand one day and he told me to put it in my mouth, because it would shock my mouth, because I have stupid braces. I hate my life with braces. I jus...

How do I prepare?

I'm seeing a counselor on Friday. I'm not used to being open with other people, or strangers. What should I do to make it easier for me to talk about what is on my mind and my feelings. I don't want it to be a waste of time because I have half an hour. Thanks in advance.

Anxiety
Posted Sunday April 23 2006, 12:40 pm
I'm not sure what my condition is, or if I even have one, but it's like this:
Everytime I go to walk around my block, or if I'm in the house alone (and I babysit!), I freak out. I look around frantically, even running from room to room! Is this normal? I don't get it as a severity (sp), but it's not exactly too light either. What can I do to prevent this sort of thing happening to me? Thanks.

i think i might be anorexic
Posted Sunday April 23 2006, 12:59 am
Lately I've realized that I haven't been eating as much. I'll be hungry but I just won't eat, maily because I don't want to eat. I am a very self-conscious person and I will willingly admit it. I know being anorexic is bad but sometimes I just can't help not eating. Sometimes after I eat, it doesn't matter how much it was, I fell really bad about it and regret eating. So do you think that I'm anorexic?
