Weird Dreams
Posted Monday November 21 2005, 12:14 pm
This might sound a little whack, but I've been having these mad dreams. Let me explain...One night, I was working on myspace, and I saw this really cute guy that just "popped up". I was like, OMG! HE'S GORGEOUS! And that night, I had this dream where I was in the woods and this guy came up behind me, and it just just really romantic, and he surprised me by taking me to a water fall and eating lunch. Then we kissed behind it, and just...hung out. Then we starred into the sky and crap. Well, when I woke up, I saw this friend request from him, so I looked at his profile...and in his WHO I WANT TO MEET section, THAT'S WHAT WAS THERE. MY LITTLE FANTASY/DREAM. Almost exactly like it...and I got a little freaked out. I keep having dreams...

I am a dark, pessimistic, negative person. I feel totaly hopeless and that both the good and evil forces are against me. I try to be the positive, outgoing type, but that realy isnt me. Im realy pained inside with doubt and hiddin secrets. I have a crush on someone and today I was thinking about the girl, the way she acts when I flirt with her, the way she is so outgiong. Those happy, warming feelings turned cold. I have been doubtful about myself, I feel like I cant start a close relationship, not even a close friendship. Its more than that, but it would take forever to explain things. I feel weak and helpless. Can you help me?

What's going on with me?
Posted Saturday November 19 2005, 9:25 am
Well I'm a 16 year old girl.
Ok. To be blunt, ever since I was about 6 I have been praying that my parents or someone would abuse me or give me a reason to run away and never come back. I am trying to end this cycle but nothing has helped so far. I guess ever since I was little I never felt good enough for someone to love me. When I was younger I was always causing trouble in order for them to get sick of me and tell me what I already believed was true. Is there something I can do to end this cycle?

My sister
Posted Wednesday November 9 2005, 10:20 pm
My sister is really depressed lately, and I'm really scared for her. She is pretty okay around me, but everyone else, (even our own mother and best friend) she won't crack a smile!!! I think it might be a 12 year old thing, but I'm a happy person who never really gets like that. I usually understand things, but I don't understand her! Tell me what to do.

4) My dad's getting a pay cut in 2 weeks.

How to shake this?
Posted Sunday November 6 2005, 3:50 pm
I feel numb. I can get out of bed, go to work, joke with people, do things I love, and still feel this way. I just can't seem to shake it off. I feel hollow inside, and I don't really know WHY.
Sometimes I only sleep 2-3 hours a night. Other nights I sleep 12-13 hours. I also do not eat properly anymore, even on my good days. Some days I'll just eat an apple for breakfast/lunch and about 1/3 of my dinner. I just don't feel hungry. But even when I am starving, I fix up a big meal and try to put the food in my mouth, but I have to stop because it makes me feel like vomiting. Believe me, I fix meals every day and try to eat snacks but most of it ends up in the trash or back in the fridge. I don't think I am fat, in fac...

Posted Thursday November 3 2005, 8:43 pm
ok well I have been talking to myslef since I was about 6 or 7 and I seriously feel like I'm talking to someone else. I ask myself questions and then give myself an answer all out loud. When I think these I can't come to a solution, but when I talk to myself out loud I feel like another person is talking to me.
