I think I am mentally ill. What do I do?
Posted Monday February 17 2014, 11:23 pm
I constantly think, day dream, fantasy, have urges, & desires to kill people. One day I was so overwhelmed by my urge that I couldn't ignore it anymore. So i drowned my pet & I didn't feel guilt or remorse. All I felt was happiness & satisfaction. So ever since I did that my urges to kill have become to much to handle & it's becoming more difficult to ignore my urges. I don't know what to do? My mom says I am doing it for attention but I am doing it because I desire to kill things. She won't let me get help & she won't let me tell anybody so I can get help. So does anybody have ideas on how I can get help without my mom knowing?

Why Do I Cry So Much?
Posted Wednesday February 12 2014, 2:04 am
I just cry over nothing a lot. I wake up at like 5 in the morning sometimes, cant sleep till 11 at night and I usually only get 6 hours of sleep but sometimes I sleep a lot and have naps during the day and feel really tired. I cry over petty little things and most times nothing at all! My eating has dropped and I only eat half of what I used to eat.
I cry and get upset over the smallest of things. And I don't want to either. I try to stop myself but I immediately get the tightness in my throat. My eyes get very watery and I would like to add that TONS of tears come out and I try to stop crying but I cant and I try to breathe in and out but I only cry more and I don't know what to do!

Burried depression??
Posted Monday February 10 2014, 11:13 pm
I've always noticed that when I draw people, especially what I think are interpretations of myself, they always look sad and depressed... Would this be a kind of reflection of myself? Like maybe Im actually sad and depressed but don't really notice it because its so normal to me?? Thanks in advance to all responses.

I think I'm too sensitive…
Posted Monday February 10 2014, 4:28 pm
I'm a very sensitive person… sometimes I feel like I'm acting overly sensitive… whenever something sad happens in a book, movie,TV show, graphic novel,etc. I start to cry big crocodile tears. For example, when my mom tells me storys about abused children, and shows pictures of dead baby's body dumped in garbage cans,I cry for 2 hours. Whenever I watch those commercials about starving children and abused animals I start crying. When I watched a video with children seeing their dad's come back from the military and run to them so happy,I start crying. As I'm writing this I'm crying. It can be stuff like that, or dumb stuff like in the lion king, when Mufasa died and Simba was upset,I started crying. In the hunger games when Ru got shot I ...

Angry and tense when I'm upset
Posted Saturday February 8 2014, 7:04 pm
Whenever I experience negative emotions, they surface in the form of anger and I feel like the only way to be able to release these feelings is to scream and punch things. Other people release their negative feelings by simply crying. I can't cry until I scream and shout first, and even then it often doesn't come out. Crying feels good to me because it's the negative feelings without the edge. So it's not as bad as feeling rage. Thankfully I don't take my anger out on people most of the time but then the tension just stores in my body making me seem like an overall cold-hearted unemotional person. How do I release my emotions in a gentle way without anger and frustration?

Why am I emotionless?
Posted Tuesday February 4 2014, 10:12 pm
I am recently 15, and I have felt emotionless on and off for 4 years. The longest I have not felt emotions was about a year and a half. Sometimes its short periods. Its not that I just think that I don't feel emotion, it's that I actually don't. I have felt emotion before, but it's almost as if its stopped. I want to feel something, I feel as if I'm a walking statue. Can someone help me find some answers on why this may be happening?

14/f.
I started high school in August but I actually started about 2 weeks late because I was in Mexico. I live in California. My grandmother was my everything. I loved her so so much. I hadn't seen her in about 8 years. On July 4, my aunt called my mom to tell us that she was in the hospital. Devastated we said we'd go to Mexico if she got worse. July 6 she had surgery because something was going on with her kidney. She was getting better but July 8 everything went downhill. She got super bad. The next day my mom and I drove to Mexico. I had asked questions about this because I can't handle stuff like this. Long drives, and the fear of being too late and my grandmother passing away. I've never physically lost anyone like this.

Why do people self harm?
Posted Thursday January 9 2014, 2:34 pm
I can't tell you how many times I read questions about people who are asking about their self harming. I don't get why people would this. And the worst part is they ask it in a very matter of fact way. Honestly, it makes me really upset when I read these things. I almost tear up

How to stop this depressed and miserable feeling?
Posted Monday January 6 2014, 11:53 pm
for some reason recently I have been feeling somewhat miserable and empty. I also keep longing for the past, keep thinking about is "I wish I had did this or I had done that" or "I wish I had talked to that person or that person" or "I wish I had participated in this or that activity". And missing people that I no longer see. I think hanging out with friends would be a good way to get rid of this feeling but they have been busy recently. I just feel empty and down. I don't know how to feel better. And I am only a 22 year old guy

Are My Thoughts Normal?
Posted Wednesday January 1 2014, 6:29 pm
16/F
For as long as I can remember, which would be from about age five until present day, I've always easily developed crushes/romantic attraction towards book or television characters. I didn't think much of it then and from what I heard from friends, I definitely wasn't alone. What I'm wondering now is, as a teenage girl who has never had a boyfriend nor any real romantic contact with anyone, is it normal of me to still entertain thoughts like this or is this perhaps the cause of my lack of contact with others?

Living seems so painful
Posted Sunday December 29 2013, 3:23 am
I have supported my husband through school. I gave him 2 beautiful children and a successful practice (along with his doctor degree). He had affairs with our staff and still blames me for our failed marriage. He's divorcing me and he's taking our kids. I heard his new gf is a lot younger than I am.
I can't afford to take care of my babies and it is because I can't find work for a year now. Since I have supported his career from the beginning for 15 years, my Bachelor in Accounting has become rusty. The feeling of defeat and unemployment is engulfing my hope and self confidence. Up to this point, I feel like a nobody. I feel so worthless as a mother. Every day, I cry because I miss my babies. I want to fight for wha...

Do I have Depression?
Posted Tuesday December 24 2013, 3:40 pm
I'm an eighteen year old female who thinks she might have depression. I hate that word it's thrown around like an explanation to everyone else's problems when they're feeling low. That's why I don't want to speak to anyone I know about it the would either dismiss it because it's so thrown around plus I don't want to say I might have it if I haven't. I've been to Iapt in the past, I had a difficult upbringing and the doctor showed me how to deal with future situations, but it hasn't helped. It was my birthday yesterday but until I got tipsy I couldn't enjoy myself, everyone had made such an effort but I just wanted to cry. They asked me what I wanted to do after and everyone had different requirements and I iust had to snap and ask them to d...

Voices in my head.
Posted Wednesday December 18 2013, 8:29 pm
When I used to be a child I had this voice in my head that used to tell me what to do and that if I didn't do it something bad would happen. It told me that I have to walk up and down the stairs in an even number which meant I had to walk up and down twice. It always told me to do certain things in an even number, like turning on the lights or other simple stuff. The thing is that it still scared me and really stressed me out. I am 18 now and it's not there anymore. But now I always have this inner voice telling me all sorts of bad things. I'm not sure if it's actually me and my low self esteem or if I have some sort of a problem. I don't feel like the voice is me talking. I can't control anything it says and it's like it's always there whi...

Do I have an eating disorder?
Posted Wednesday December 18 2013, 4:16 pm
I'm 18/f and I weigh 110lbs and I'm 5'4".
So I know that that's not underweight or dangerous.
The thing is that I lost a lot of weight when I was around 10 and used to be chubby. Since when my relationship with food is horrible. I've been losing and gaining weight every since. I never weigh more than around 113lbs so I don't gain very much. But I think about food the whole day. I think about losing weight all the time. Yet I'm unable to reach my goal. I always fail. I want to weigh around 88lbs and I know that's unhealthy but I just don't think I can ever be happy if I don't lose weight and reach that goal. I always go on pro ana diets and fail. I'm always jealous of anorexic people and I know it's horrible :( And this is...
