i know i am not fat but...
Posted Monday March 14 2005, 4:51 pm
okay to start off i know i am not FAT. but i am 4 foot 11 inches and weight about 105. and i dont care what the scale says i care about the way i look. being so short for my age and having a regular appetite for my age doesnt help. i play 2-3 sports but i know i dont eat very healthy. i just dont like the way my stomach looks...my friends all say i am fine but really they are my friends what are they going to say?....
please tell me if you think i am just exaggerating or i should eat healthier/exercise more but PLEASE do it nicely...(i.e: dont swear and call me an idiot)

Eating Disorder
Posted Thursday March 10 2005, 6:00 pm
I have a big eating disorder, and no, it's not anorexia.. it's the total oppsite. I'm addicted to food.. :( But mainly 1. Chocolate. I've lost alot of weight, but then I drastically gained it back because I just can't stop eating chocolate. It's weird, I have to have at least a peice of something chocolately every day, or else I don't want to eat because nothing seems appealing. I bought my boyfriend a ton of chocolates for our 1 year anniversary, but he left them at my house and doesn't want to get them untill this upcoming weekend... and my God i've eaten a ton of them. There's at least 300 chocolates in there, and i've eaten like 30. I can't stop eating. I just have completely no will power anymore, and I need some motivation. Someone please help me. I'm running out of solutions.

social anxiety.
Posted Thursday March 10 2005, 2:54 pm
i think i have social anxiety. i have loads of the symptoms from this site i went on, like i'm scared to be anxious, and also when a teacher tells us we can ask for help, i can't, incase anyone is watching or listening and i might make myself look stupid, or something. but the thing is, my mum doesn't believe me, i broke down in tears in the car today and i said i probably have social anxiety (i'm scared because i have to do work experience, i've been placed in an estate agent and i don't want to BE an estate agent). she thinks i'm just shy, but the thing is, on this site it says people will often say you are just shy, but it's worse than that, i do want to be all social but i get scared i'll make a fool out of myself. what can i do about i...

self-confidence and esteem.
Posted Tuesday March 8 2005, 3:35 pm
how can i be more confident? i'm really ugly, shy and boring - i have nothing to live for really, i wont ever get married or have a life. seeing as i look bad, i want to get more confident. the thing is, i read something and it said write a list of what you like about yourself. i cant do that, i hate everything about myself lol =/ and plus i'd feel really bigheaded if i write good things about myself, that's why i hate myself so much, so i don't look like i'm self-obesssed or something. please help, thanks xo

Cutting
Posted Sunday March 6 2005, 7:06 pm
I have been cutting myself alot lately, so much that I can't do it on my arms anymore because of all of the scar tissue. I really like to do it because it releases pressure on my body but other people think I'm really crazy. I don't do it deep enough to seriously hurt myself but lately I have been thinking about just ending it. I don't what to do.

Nobody helps me except my bf
Posted Saturday March 5 2005, 3:17 pm
(Sorry if this turns out really long!) I've only been cutting myself for a little over two weeks but I'm already addicted. I told my boyfriend first because I vent to him a lot. I trust him and he can comfort me. Then later I told my teacher and she suggested for me to talk to my school counselor. My teacher told my parents, too. My mom talked to me but it wasn't about ME, it was about what my sister went through. It wasn't helpful. So I talked to the couselor. She freaked out and kept telling me, "You can't do that! STOP! You have to stop! If you do it again I'll tell the principal!" That is not what I expected from her. It wasn't helpful or encouraging. It was threatening! It almost made me want to cut! Later that day I was sitt...

ADD
Posted Saturday March 5 2005, 4:02 am
After begging my mom to take me to the doctors, she's finally going to (because I currently have a soar throat). I've been asking her to take me to get tested for anemia and ADD. Everytime I asked her she would say "I highly doubt you have ADD" and she would just snicker. So I have a soar throat now and I think she's making me drive to the doctors on my own (usually she goes with me). So for sure I'm going to ask about anemia and ADD. The only thing is, how am I supposed to bring it up.? I don't want to just say 'oh yea, I think I have ADD'. How should I bring it up without looking stupid? Should I tell her my situation first (about how I can't stay focused, etc) or should I ask what the symptoms are, or what? And what wi...

Okay, I actually think I have ADD. I've secretly researched it for a few months now, and I have a lot of the symptoms majorly. I used to be really good in school, I used to be able to focus and concentrate most of the time. Now, I have SO many things going on in my head and I seem to act like I'm listening, but really my head is off in like, a million different places. I told my friend that I had it and she's the type of girl that will just not concentrate because something is "boring". She thinks that she has ADD too. Everytime we talk about it, she starts laughing ("I have ADD, lol!"). It pisses me off so much. How is anyone going to take me seriously after she tells EVERYONE she has it, and starts laughing aft...

dealing with death
Posted Wednesday March 2 2005, 8:56 pm
about three months ago my ex-boyfriend died. i broke up with him b4 he got sick or i knew he was sick. after his death i had feelings of guilt. i thought his funeral would help he seek closure but it only made it worse. now all i can ever think about is how unfair it is. sometimes i have nightmares about him hating me. i used to go to a therapist before his death for other issues but and i didnt really like it b/c i never got any advice or anything. but sometimes the nightmares are too much to take and all i want to do is cry. and sometimes i cant cry hard enough to make the pain stop. and all the things ppl say like "hes in a better place" doesnt change the fact that hes dead. does anyone know how to deal with death?

Split Personality
Posted Tuesday March 1 2005, 11:40 pm
Sometimes I don't know who I am anymore. For the most part ive become a really sophisticated, goody good with really STRONG morals. I always do homework and go to church. I never -- cheat, steal, drink, cuss, smoke, do drugs, ditch school, party, sneak out, have sex, listen to rap, etc. But sometimes i get sick of being like that. Sometimes i just want to bust out my old dirty, rap collection and live life a little. But then later the goody/serious side of me DESPISES rap because its so degrading and disgusting. The thing is.. it's not about rap music. (That was just an example of how im like two different people within hours or days.) I really dont think i have a split personality or anything to that extreme. I just dont know who I am anym...
