Anxiety
Posted Friday May 9 2014, 9:28 pm
Hi, this is the same person who asked the question about depersonalization.
So, I just need some advice here. Should I start getting anxiety pills? I hate having to deal with it each and every day. The thing is, is that I'm scared of feeling like a zombie, or feeling different. I also don't want to be medicated all the time, but I HATE feeling this way. But I'm pretty sure I have depersonalization. I feel "detached". Will anxiety pills help me with this too?
Also, I know for a fact that I have Anxiety and Depression because I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago. I also get it from my father. I just really need some advice here asap. Thank you

I want to laugh more
Posted Wednesday May 7 2014, 10:18 am
I feel really good when I laugh and I love laughing. The problem is that I find almost nothing funny. A lot of people laugh when other people get hurt which is what most "funny videos" on youtube are about. And I honestly don't think they're funny ._. I also don't like most "funny" movies. Can anyone give me some ideas what I can watch? The only person I can think of that makes me laugh is ellen degeneres ._.

Confused about sexuality
Posted Tuesday April 29 2014, 11:52 pm
Okay so im 14/f and since i was 11 ive identified as a lesbian (that was when i figured it out) but now im starting to question myself. I know im definitely not straight, 0% chance, and i highly doubt bisexual, i dont know it just doesnt quite feel right, neither does pansexual but it does sound closer to what im looking for. Im romantically and sexually attracted to girls, but sometimes i meet a boy, (and when i say sometimes i mean this has happened twice in the past 3 years) and im just like, "You. You are sweet and really cute and i want to be really close with you and hug you but i cant necessarily see myself with you or anything" but its just confusing me bc it *feels* pretty freaking similar to a crush but im just not attra...

My mental illnesses are getting in the way of me getting a job
Posted Monday April 14 2014, 9:52 pm
I'm a 19 year old girl. I have Bipolar 1, depression, severe anxiety, severe panic attacks, and insomnia. I also have some learning disabilities and agoraphobia (fear of people). Not only is all of this very difficult to deal with as it is, but I can't get a job or complete my GED because of it. I'm absolutely terrified to do most anything; make phone calls, go to the store, go out with friends, even just sitting at home alone triggers panic attacks. I've tried to get jobs but I've failed in all attempts. The farthest I've gotten, was past the interview which was very very difficult and started my first day but I had a severe panic attack and a mental breakdown, to which they sent me home, and I wasn't able to continue working there. It was...

absolutely can't get over my fear
Posted Sunday April 13 2014, 9:24 pm
It's a silly fear I'm embarrassed to admit… I'm afraid of demons and evil spirits. It's really embarising,I practice white magic and am an altar server! But they haunt my worst nightmares and cause me panic attacks. I'd say what I'm afraid of is being hurt by them. I know God is much more powerful, but for some reason I'm still scared. I really feel I need to get rid of this, or it'll rule my life, it's the fear that makes me bite my nails, and I have a crucifix over my bed, pray the rosary when I get demon dreams. They all lead to nothing. I must eliminate this. How can I overcome this fear without telling anyone? Please, I'm ashamed of it. I once tried to hint it to my mom, and she laughed telling me it was silly.

Selective Mutism
Posted Tuesday April 8 2014, 6:10 pm
I had selective mutism as a child. I was treated pretty soon I had it in Kindergarten and I was fully talking by the end of 2nd grade. But what are the lasting effects of having it? As a 15 year old today, I still have a lot of anxiety and some things like trouble talking in front of the class, some social situations, and being in large loud crowds. Would that be lasting effects and what else usually is there?

I can't stop lying
Posted Saturday April 5 2014, 5:51 pm
I am a 20 year old female. As the title sums it up, I really can't stop lying. I make up stories about almost anything and about the silliest things. sometimes I don't realize that I'm lying but now that I do I see how much it is affecting important aspects of my life. My relationship with my boyfriend is being jeopardized by this, and recently my lies have been catching up to me. I don't want to be this person, any advice on how to stop?

bad dream, woke up with panic attack please, I'm really scared
Posted Friday April 4 2014, 9:29 am
I had a horrible dream: my mom bought my brother a bike that was possessed by a demon. I told her not to buy it, it's possessed. She said that we “have to save it" because it's my brother's bike. I told her to just burn it. Get rid of it. She's like,“then how is (brothers name) gonna ride it?" I begged her to throw it away, but she insisted on keeping it. I kept asking people I recognized from school, but didn't know THAT well, if they knew how to remove evil spirits. The bike was blue, and it has some sort of stamp on it that looked like a bloody zombie with horns and fangs. I could find out where I saw all the things in my dreams in my waking world. The bike was in the cellar, and I woke up crying, and freaking out, and I th...

I'm 16 and still have my imaginary friends
Posted Thursday March 27 2014, 8:50 am
I have imaginary friends since I was young. I've had no friends. i only play with my mom or just myself,read books, play games, so I started to have imaginary friends and world. i talk to them always and play with them. Whenever I get bored I just think about my imaginary world. i would just close my eyes for hours and imagine about the world. There are huge skyscapers of candies, cotton candy clouds, my friends houses and their mobile numbers, and we have dinosaur pets. i have my own family there where I go to school and live my own life. These things didn't bothered me at all but i'm just worried because other teens didn't experienced like this. I consulted a doctor and said that there were things that are lacking in me (grew up with no siblings) Am I still normal?

I hallucinate fireflies and dinosaurs sometimes
Posted Thursday March 27 2014, 8:03 am
I hallucinate fireflies that are coloured silver or blue. Based on my previous research, these are just glints cased by minor problems in my vision cortex. i often see them whenever I get tired or in an extreme anger. One time when we had our investigatory project in school, our coach reprimanded us and I got really angry. I stared at her and I accidentally noticed that there were few silver and blue fireflies flying above her head, I picked those insects and she got more angry and taught there was something wrong with me. Years ago, I hallucinated dinosaurs when I have extreme fears or experience great adrenaline rush. These hallucinations didn't bothered me. i onced visited a mental doctor and he just said these were due to my anti-social...

Gay or transgender
Posted Sunday March 23 2014, 1:46 pm
I have been crossdressing for a number of years now. Two years ago I started going out dressed female for the sole purpose of finding a guy that I could give oral sex to. This was and still is something that turns me on so much. Since that first time out I have given 6 guys oral sex. Four of these six guys were just a one time thing and the other two I did it for them multiple times. It dawned on me one day that while I love giving the guys oral sex while I was dressed female that there would be no way I could do that dressed as a guy. I have no idea why this is but a girl I know thinks that I may unknowingly want to be a female full time and that I should try to find a steady guy in my life and transition to a full time female.

I think I just hallucinated?
Posted Friday March 21 2014, 4:33 am
I think I've hallucinated a couple times before, but I wasn't scared or anything. This one time I thought I saw dirt on my friends leg, so she spent some time trying to find it. Eventually, she found nothing, and when I looked again I found nothing.
I didn't really put that incident in mind though. But today I thought I saw this guy go behind a counter, and then I saw another of him outside the shop. I realised the guy outside the shop was the real one.
I get around 6 hours of sleep each day, and I'm usually a little tired. Does lack of sleep or stress make you hallucinate? I have no idea why this is happening, but it hasn't really been that much of a problem. Can someone please help?

I seem to never have relaxation time. Bare with me and answer
Posted Tuesday March 18 2014, 9:07 pm
School, piles upon piles of homework, practice my instrument, practice for play, try on shoes to see if they fit, make my bed, clean my room, brush my teeth. Once it seems like I'm FINALLY free, for some me time,I gotta write some discussion questions for book club that my teacher FORCED everybody to do. Then comes stupid extra math that my teacher claims I gotta do because she has to “enrich my advanced mind" I'm not a genius, but apparently I have superior intelligence. I somehow end up with the “good parts" in stuff like plays. Most people think I'm lucky, but it seems like with all my work I can never just sit down. Being more than average isn't all what it's cracked up to be, you just gotta do extra work, and when you're ...
