Posted Tuesday March 7 2006, 3:52 am
Lately i have been crying all the time. I have been feeling overwhealmed and sensitive to everything. i used to be so happy and laughing all the time and now i havn't laughed for ages and cry over everything.

Everynight I sit in bed for about 2 hours before I fall asleep. Its not a big problem staying awake but the stress I go through trying to fall asleep is terrible. It's been going on everynight for about three weeks. I told my mom there was something wrong with me and that I needed sleep pills but she blew it off. So I began taking tylenol PM (without her knowing) and it put me to sleep within 30 mintues. But this weekend I ended up exposing alot of my secrets to her (that I have been drinking, etc) and told her about the pills. She believes me now and is going to take me to the doctor but she take forever to set up an appointment and I hate bringing it up. So Im going to probably end up taking them again. My question is, are all of these pr...

hypochondria
Posted Wednesday March 1 2006, 7:56 pm
im doing research on hypochondriacs for my psychology class. i found everything i needed from symptoms, to diagnosis, to treatment, but one thing i didnt find is how some of them make themselves sick by taking certain pills or something else like that. That also might be kind of like another illness. When i tried researching that, it just told me what the symptoms were for someone making themself sick. Does anyone know what they do? Like, what pills they take or what other things they do?

bi polar
Posted Tuesday February 28 2006, 8:39 pm
I've been known lose my temper easily, usually with me ending up slapping someone in the face. Usually it only happens once a week where I'll just get really angry over something stupid that wouldn’t have mattered the day before. I take my anger out on guys usually (I'm a girl) I'm wondering if I have bi polar (sp?) since I can be totally fine one second and out of control the nest. My mom thinks I need a consular since she thinks I'm "Angry all the time" and "Depressed" but I’m not sure what to think. Any ideas? Btw, I’m 14

Ways to relax?
Posted Friday February 24 2006, 8:05 pm
I had a very busy day. I got up at 5 and rode in a car for 2 hours to the airport. Then I went on 2 planes, one of which had a 3 and a half hour delay. Alos, I had to eat alot of disgusting fast food. I'm home now and exhausted. I just feel like I'm still on the airplane, my mind is wandering, I feel sick, and I am restless. Does anyone have any ways that I could relax? Or that would make me feel better?

i just want to know what this might be...(sorry if this is long) at night or in the dark generally i see things moving like shadows... no one else can see them. i hear them talking... i hear people talking all the time. even if im alone. i talk to myself alot. when i try to sleep at night i hear it and i feel it crawl on my skin. the only way to make the noise go away is to listen to music really loud. its getting hard to be in the dark because the shadows that move scare me alot. wouldnt it scare you if you could see things move and stuff that you know cant really be there. so im getting less and less sleep and its effecting my ability to concentrate on my school work so im falling behind. i just stopped taking my ritlan. ive been getting ...

I dont know..
Posted Tuesday February 21 2006, 12:38 am
Okay.. so I'm not exactly sure where to start..So I'll just tell a little from the past and mostly from this year.. 7th grade I started to become moody, easily irritated, and less social. Mind you, I'm very shy, So I've never been too social my whole life. Maybe going a few places here and there, But I just didn't want to go anywhere anymore. I started cutting, I stopped eating because I became self-conscious over my weight, Then at the end of the year I started cutting even more, and I always thought about death. 8th grade I became even more less social, but I stopped cutting during the middle of the year. I lost my friends a few times because of rumors, & lies. So I became even more upset. Then I started not to care, and nothing reall...

WARNING! long story-who do I choose to tell about my mental
Posted Monday February 20 2006, 5:13 pm
I have taken tests that show I suffer from moderate depression, moderate anxiety, and am most likely suffering from OCD, it is recommended that I get therapy and treatment. I don't know how to tell my parents how I feel depressed, I would rather tell someone (like a therapist) who has never been involved in my life about my problems. The reason I am afraid of who to tell, is because I don't have many options. If I screw up, that'll be my chance, down the drain. My parents divorced when I was four, I was very poor living with my mother growing up, I could live comfortably with my dad. He got married a few months after they got divorced. The day they got divorced they fought in court over me until I was about 10 or 11. I have three siblings, ...

Past feelings
Posted Sunday February 19 2006, 6:04 pm
18/f. I was molested when I was little, and every once in a while feelings from that time surface and I get very upset and depressed. It's not so often - maybe once or twice in a year, but I don't want that time to keep haunting me for the rest of my life, I want to move beyond the past. Does anyone have any advice on how I can do that?
