Scary Thoughts
Posted Tuesday August 23 2005, 12:22 am
For along time now I have had scary thoughts. Thoughts that someone is going to kill me in my sleep. I always have thoughts of my sister or family member doing this. I also have thoughts of killing myself, I even go through the cabinets and pour some pills into ziploc bags and hide them in my room just in case I feel the need to overdose. Sometimes I get in crazy moods and can't control them and I am afraid I am going to do something I know I normally wouldn't do. I am like a different person when I am depressed and in a different mood. It's like I have a split personality or something. I don't know what is wrong with me, and I have this urge to always pull my eyebrows out. It feels so good to feel the hair slip from my skin. I get into a t...

Eating Disorder mania
Posted Monday August 22 2005, 3:48 pm
I could probably answer my own advice, but I want someone else's opinion.It started 3 years ago when I was 16. After my boyfriend and I broke up I started downing myself alot. I felt I let the situation go out of control and I had always since my childhood let others get the best of me and control me, I think around the time my boyfriend and I broke up I developed my eating disorder. I have also had other problems like with cutting, trichillomania, anxiety, and depression. I am like a VERY nervous person and it's hard to control my moods and all. Everyday is a struggle to be perfect sometimes i just wish i could cure this disorder and move on and know that being thin isnt everything, but when I see someone thinner than me or someone on tv I...

Black stuff on toothbrush
Posted Wednesday August 17 2005, 4:54 am
I found black stuff on my tooth brush, that I keep in the shower. I use it ever night, and so I know it didn't just grow there. I had used it less that 24 hours before I saw the black stuff. Am I being poisoned, or is there anouther explanation?

Im 13/ female, and i have been cutting for about 4 years now. I had been doing better, with everything and finally getting over the things that had happened, I stopped seeing my dad which helped alot. At the beginning of this year, my mom sent me and my sister back to live at my dads house. I started getting hit again, and the school called my house a ton of times asking about the bruises. i made up excuses that people eventually just stopped believing and everyone figured the truth. Lately things have been getting really bad again and i've overdosed two times in the past month, and have had to get my stomach pumped. I have been cutting so much more and i hate what it does to my friends when they find out but im at the point where i just ca...

Really Weird Question.
Posted Tuesday August 16 2005, 9:16 pm
This may be the first question of its kind here. See, a lot of things have built up behind and with me, and it has caused me to attempt to injure my knee for about a year now. But, I'm really addicted to it now, and I try at least 3 times a day usually. I almost enjoy it, even. But, I want to stop. Ever had soemthing like that where you feel a need to stop something you enjoy? Anyways, I went through my mind the steps I usually advise to stop SIing, and none of them seemed to work. There is nobody I can tell, as any will cause more problems than it will solve. I'm very anti-social-phobic, where I am afraid of become a loner for the 3rd time in my life. My parents do not know any of the causes, so when they hear the effect, they want to know...

Schizophrenia
Posted Saturday August 13 2005, 8:03 pm
My boyfriend that I am now going out with (for about a two months)has just told me that he has schizophrenia. I know that if you are a schizophrenic that you are 50% more likely to commit suiside and I know he has thought about it in the past before I knew this condition. He is a really nice guy and I like him a lot. Although right now I'm worried. One because he didn't tell me before and two because I don't know much about schizophrenia or his condition of it. I did a report on it last year in health class so I know WHAT it is but I don't know if even medicine helps much. All I know about his condition with it is that he hears voices even when he takes medication and I also understand it isn't his fault he has it and I should be there for ...

Sometimes I have my days where I actually feel confident, but most of the days I have no self esteem whatsoever. I always compare myself to other girls, and I hate it. I know looks aren't everything, but it seems like I'd be happier and more outgoing if I just looked better. I already wear makeup, experimented with differenent hair colors and styles, and different clothes. But there's always someone who looks 348349x better than me, and it bothers me. (Even though it shouldn't.) Any suggestions on how to gain self confidence and quit comparing myself to other people?
