Why do I have these thoughts?
Posted Thursday February 2 2006, 1:28 pm
All right, I'm a relatively healthy (physically and mentally, I hope) young woman. I've never been intimate with a man. However, I've realized more and more that violence turns me on. For instance, when I see rape on TV or in a movie, I feel myself becoming aroused. When I fantasize, I always have these dark fantasies where a man is hurting me and forcing himself on me. It's not like I don't appreciate or crave romance - I do! Why am I having these thoughts though? I don't want to be hurt or violated or anything, but it just turns me on. Is it all right? Would a man be freaked out if I shared this with him? Would he take advantage of me? I've always thought I was a "good girl".

Is social anxiety passed down genetically. My grandma has it and I think I may have it too. Would my chances be more if my grandma has it but my parents dont that I have it?

kill myself?
Posted Wednesday February 1 2006, 4:25 pm
I don’t know what to do anymore, my life seems to be dying slowly even though I am alive. I don’t want to live anymore; I have imagines everyday of me jumping out my window. My life just seems all messed up. It may seem like nothing to you but all my problems put together are just killing me little by little. No one understands. Today I came from school all upset I couldn’t take it and told my grandmother I don’t want to live anymore. She got mad, called my mom and dad and was yelling at me telling me how lazy I am. She kept saying I’m just a lazy person that wont get anywhere in life without studying. She kept yelling and talking and now her and my mom got into a fight over this. My grandma tried to make this all seem like she’...

Is counseling the only solution?
Posted Tuesday January 31 2006, 4:13 pm
I'm a guy, and junior in high school. I am constantly worried about everything in my life. For instance what I'm going to wear, is my dad mad at me, am I depressed, what my grades are, is my mom alive, just everything like that, even if my friends are mad at me. I worry about everything it drives me nuts all of the time. And when I'm worried about that I can't concentrate on the important things like grades, am I doing the right thing in life, and just crap like that. I told my mom I worry too much and I even worry about her grown up things like who is going to buy my car does she have enough money in the bank. I need some help hear what do I do?

ocd
Posted Monday January 30 2006, 12:10 am
I just read something that someone else posted that made me wonder if i had an ocd as well.
When it comes to brushing my teeth they never feel clean, therefore i brush my teeth at least 5 times a day. Even if i hadnt eaten anything i brush them just because. Am i a freak or is this an ocd?
p.s even though im brushing them constantly they're still a little yellow its nasty. ive tried teeth whitening products but they dont seem to work. should i get the professionally whitened? if so how much do they cost?
sorry its long :[
But i rate 5's :]

Lack of concentration
Posted Monday January 30 2006, 12:09 am
Recently, I have been having difficulty in concentrating, making decisions, and being confident in myself. Could this be signs of the dysthymic disorder? If so, how can I be able to treat it myself?

I don't know what to do anymore...
Posted Friday January 27 2006, 11:20 pm
Hey, I've been having a little bit of trouble this year. It seems like everything has been falling apart. Last school year everything was fine, I was, my life was. Now I'm in this new private christian school and it seems as if my life went to hell. I've become more...non innocent I shall say, doing everything thatI've always been against my whole life. Now lately I can't stop thinking about how everyone is going to leave me. Can't shake the feeling that my friends will just stop talking to me. I've caused fights with almost all my friends and lost a couple already because of this feeling. I guess i've pushed them to the limit and they did leave because i figured they were going to anyways. My best friend in the world and me...I don't know....

I need to stop thinking about this
Posted Thursday January 26 2006, 7:08 am
what do you do when something is annoying the heck out of you, when you can't get something out of your mind, when you keep going back and thinking about the same thing all the time without realizing it til it's too late. Why can't I just stop? I don't want to think about this.
I feel there's something wrong with me.

crying
Posted Friday January 20 2006, 8:21 pm
i feel awful lately and i dont know why. i'm in 10th grade and have had a really awesome time up until about a month ago. Since then i get upset easier and i never know why i feel so i upset. I've had this great boyfriend for almost 4 months now, but he's pulling away, probably because i can never tell him why i'm in such a bad mood recently. today, he pulled me into his arms, and i started crying. i tried to hide it and he didnt say anything about it, but i'm pretty sure he got that i was upset. then i started crying during my math test but stopped myself before anyone noticed. now here i am, crying again. what's wrong with me?

The problem I have is speaking in front of people. I get sweaty, nervous, my heart starts beating, and I just can't talk. How do I cure this? Is there a possible way to overcome it? Or am I stuck with it for life?
I'm a 14 year old male.
