Addicted to the release of tensionin self-mutilation
Posted Sunday September 11 2005, 2:47 pm
I have been pulling out my eyebrows for over a year now, non stop. It's everyday. Beforehand I feel a certain tension(anxiety), it gets overwheliming especially when I am stressed out. Sometimes I pull for no reason while watching tv or such and then in the middle Ill catch myself doing it. So I stop for a few minutes then find my hand traveling back up to pull again. It's so pleasurable to feel the hair be pulled from my brow area. But now since it has been a year I am really wanting help with this, it looks horrible. I can't stop, it is just like cutting its a release of tension and helps me feel better at the moment. But now if I try to let them grow they grow all scattered out and are very course feeling which makes me want to pull at t...

Help! My crazy ex-friend keeps calling me!
Posted Sunday September 4 2005, 5:00 pm
A few years back I had this friend who was really nice. But then after a while she started acting strange. If she saw me talking with another person she'd get all mad and butt in and tell them I was her best friend, and her only best friend. And then she started getting weird and always wanted me over, and if I couldn't come she'd start yelling at my Mom.
So my Mom made me break off the friendship with her in fear of my own health. I did. And she was devistated at the time, but when I changed schools and moved across town, I stopped hearing from her.
But now, three years later, she's sending me threatening mail, she's calling my house, and she won't stop IMing me on different accounts after I block her. I'm pr...

I suspect my dad has bipolar disorder. Being around him, when he's going through his manic stages, is like being in a cult. He will tell people crazy things, apparantly from God. He told three different people that their child is not there's. He even told my brother that his uncle was his real father, yet my uncle denies it. My dad said he would not believe a paternity test. He tells me he knows the truth about all things and that one day he'll tell me. It's very scary sometimes.
I know he does drugs, because people have seen him do it. He will take speed while reading the bible, and go days without sleeping or eating. He smokes pot a lot because I can smell it. He's doing these drugs right in front of my mother, who has MS a...

embarassed
Posted Tuesday August 30 2005, 11:02 pm
I am going crazy. I get embarassed so easily! School started on Monday. The only class I have with my boyfriend Brandon is first period. The teacher told us that we are going to have to do presentations a lot and I am so scared. When I get embarassed my face turns BRIGHT red and it doesn't get better for a while. I can feel it getting red and then I think about it which makes me feel even more stupid and my face gets even more red! I'm so nervous and I don't want to look stupid in front of Brandon. I can't get in front of the class without my face turning red. I can't even answer a question without getting embarassed. What are some ways that I can not be so obvious or cover it up!? Is there make-up, a certain way to breathe, or ANYTHING!? I'm so desperate. I need help!

Does anyone know what illness this could be?
Posted Monday August 29 2005, 5:07 am
I'm not sure if anyone could point me in the right direction, but my ex BF has been on a wide range of anti-depressants and has problems sleeping. Currently he's not taking any medication apart from valium for when he cant sleep.
I will try and explain his behaviour: If you were to meet him in a social setting, he seems extremely normal and outgoing like anyone else. He has motivation to go out and do things like everyone else. However when it comes to relationships he goes cold. He says he feels numb, and that he cant be affectionate cos he doesnt feel anything. He says its nothing to do with me, but its the way he is.
I just dont understand what his problem might be, if he even has a problem, he might just be using it as an excuse... anyone have any ideas?

Paranormal
Posted Saturday August 27 2005, 1:45 pm
I have a question about the paranormal. I don't really believe in spirits and such, but then again I do. Alot of things over the years have changed my mind about ghosts and such. Every night before bed I get on the computer talking to my friends and such, and I even keep the computer desk lamp on, but I always here a swish of wind in the hallway beside the computer room. Sometimes if I turn real quick in my chair I see a shadow running through the hallway.I try not to get caught up in what I see, so I return to my computer desk, a few moments later I feel a presence behind me, it's overwhelming. I feel someone watching me, but when I turn around nothing is there. Also after I get off the computer I go to my room, turn the television on beca...
