flashbacks from rape
Posted Friday March 24 2006, 4:27 pm
okay so its been a over a year and a half and im still having flashbacks about when i was raped at a party and they dont seem to be getting any better. i think in the past week i've had all my teachers come up to me and ask whats wrong and some even went as far as to tell the guidance department. my friends have also been telling me that i have been "zoning out" and i dont hear a word that they say to me. i mean im not trying to look upset (in fact im trying to look happy) but its just so hard with the rape like repeating over and over again in my head. i cant sleep anymore and im even starting to fail some subjects in school. i thought that it was supossed to get better since its been so long but it seems like its getting worse. ...

cutting
Posted Wednesday March 22 2006, 7:22 pm
I used to cut frequently, but then I stopped for a long time. I was doing really well and learning to deal with my feelings in other ways, but just the other day I was in the drug store and I bought a package of blades and went home and cut myself several times. I have been doing ever since. I have been feeling pretty depressed lately. There has been a lot of stuff going on in my life and I don't know how to deal with it. I know that I shouldn't cut myself, but I feel so much better. It really helps me deal. Where can I go for help with stopping cutting. I cannot tell my parents and I am so afraid of telling my friends. Please help. I really don't know what to do.

I'm nobody
Posted Thursday March 16 2006, 12:35 am
13/f. Every day, I feel so lonely. It's like I'm an inanimate object. Nobody ever even seems to realize I'm alive. Nobody cares about me at all. I have no friends except my parents---that doesn't count. I try to make friends, but nobody ever gives me a second thought. In fact, I haven't had a single person at my house since I was 9. Nobody ever considers my feelings; if anyone has seen "Chicago," I feel exactly like the person singing "Cellophane." I cry like crazy every single evening at bedtime. It makes me want to do something outrageous just to see if someone would notice. Sometimes I wonder whether anyone would notice if I died. 5's to anyone who seems to emphathize...

Laugh in a sad moment?
Posted Monday March 13 2006, 3:36 am
Hi, this is going to make me sound really messed up. Sometimes I laugh uncontrollably when a situation doesn't call for it. Today for example my parents were fighting, and I just started laughing. I didn't find it funny at all and I was really upset about it, but I couldn't stop it. It also happened once when my friend told me her mother died.. I laughed as I told other people, even though i felt awful about what happened..
Is there something wrong with me? I hate not having control over my reactions like this.

should I go for it?
Posted Monday March 13 2006, 2:20 am
I have a chance to be on the Oprah Winfrey show. She is looking to interview people with a mental illness and I have schizophrenia. I have been published in other magazines before for how I have managed to live with my condition; but have never been on television.
Some of my friends are telling me to go for it; but I don't know if I want this much exposure. Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldnt go on the show? And Pros or Cons? I havent made up my mind yet!

confrontation
Posted Sunday March 12 2006, 8:04 pm
I have a confrontation problem. Meaning that I don't know how/can't confront people. Sometimes this is okay, but I can't even tell people when I'm mad at them and it only ends up hurting my relationships with people. Is there any way that I can overcome this problem? I'll rate high for good answers. Thanks very much.

depression
Posted Friday March 10 2006, 11:26 pm
Lately, I have been concerned that I may be depressed. I've looked into it and I seem to have all the symptoms. I feel embarrassed talking to my parents about my concern. I feel weak and dumb. Can anyone suggest anyone that I can talk to about being depressed besides my parents, teachers or guidance councellor? Thanks.
