I loathe myself.
Posted Sunday January 30 2005, 6:28 pm
I loathe myself, every tiny detail about myself. I hate my appearance...My
hair, my face, my teeth, my hands, my eyebrows, chest, stomach, back, arms, etc...I
hate every characteristic of my personality, every last one. I think of my self
as stupid, incompetent and worthless. Everything that goes wrong is my fault. I
suck at every thing I do. Seeking professional help is not an option for me, and
neither is getting help from a trusted adult. Even if either were an option, I’m
much, much, much to timid to ask for help...I don't think I even deserve to have
people waste there time on me to help me anyway.

help for depression
Posted Sunday January 30 2005, 6:27 am
I'm depressed because my life has evolved to be all about studying (I am a dedicated nursing student), I have low self-esteem, the crowd in my school I do not get along with (there is a term in the philippines called "jologs" meaning they are poor), I'm super bored, i feel overscheduled (my class is from Mon-Sat), I come from a dysfunctional family (can't talk to anyone about problems) and life just seems so empty and a burden. Everyday it is hard just to get up, and it is hard to sleep too. I've been depressed since December. Now, I think I need help to snap out of it.
Are there sure-fire remedies for depression?

ADD
Posted Thursday January 27 2005, 4:42 pm
I asked a question the other day about ADD and how I should tell people (mostly teachers). Well, I told my mom that I needed to go to the doctors to get checked for ADD. She told me I don't have it...I just want to claim I have ADD (which is stupid...). I just want to know, so that I can fix my problems in school, and if I need medication, I can get it. I told her that things are taking longer to register in school and she said "well, yea, because its harder". When its really not. I have a math teacher I had freshman year. It used to be so easy and his pace was fine...he works at the same pace but now I can't pick it up that fast. He often talks and I get off track (its not boredom...I used to be able to control my boredom...

Depressed!
Posted Wednesday January 26 2005, 8:01 pm
I have been really depressed lately and don't know what to do at all. I feel like everyone is out to get me and i'm always getting so mad over the little thing people do. I don't even feel like hanging out with some of my best friends sometimes. I've also cut myself a few times but I don't want to resort to that. I don't want to talk to my mom and please don't say "You need to though" I would feel so weird talking to a counceler and my friends just don't understand. I'm lost, confussed and need someone to give me some advice on what to do.
Thank you!
Kristen.

Just want to get noticed
Posted Wednesday January 26 2005, 6:06 pm
I am really depressed. I just feel like every one thing that is good in my life, there are three bad things. In other words, the pros outweigh the cons. I really need help, but don't want to ask my mom to go to a shrink. So, I'm waiting for someone to notice. I don't want to cut myself, but it's the only way for people to notice. So, I just take a pin and scratch myself so that it will make slight cut marks on my wrists. I know it's stupid, but I just need help beyond my stupid friends' advice.
I hate these bribe things, but I do rate high, if that will help you to answer me.

ADD
Posted Tuesday January 25 2005, 11:19 pm
At first I didn't really understand what ADD was. When I read one of Mary-Kate's quotes in a magazine saying "They give me extra time taking tests because of my ADD". I thought to myself "it does take me a long time to take tests also..." So I researched it and I realized what ADD was. I do have a lot of the symptoms, such as not concentrating on the simplest things, it takes a long time for easy things to register (things that used to be easy to register, is now not so easy), I often lose interest in things I once did, and become inconsistent, but I also have difficulty adapting to change. I sometimes don't finish homework assignments because I don't feel like taking the challenge, and lastly, I'll start doing thing...

How do I talk to my mom about this?
Posted Sunday January 23 2005, 11:46 am
I have something mentally wrong with me, and I aknowledge this. I dont know what exactly, but I know I serverly need help. I asked my mom if I could go to therapy, and she's fine with that, but I think I need more than that, like maybe being commited for a while. I cant just say 'Hey mom, I think I need to be committed to the loony bin for a while, is that cool?' She really doesnt see what goes on with me, i usualy just keep to myself while I'm at home. I really think I need more than just therapy, and possibly anti depressants (I havent gone to therapy yet, so I dont know what would go on) I really think it would help for me to go to an institution for a while. How do I approach this though?

Possible Mental Problems
Posted Friday January 21 2005, 7:11 pm
I've got a question about my friend. I think she may have some serious mental problems. This morning in first hour she was writing a note to someone (I didn't know she was). Well, I glanced over in her direction and she flipped the paper, turned to look at me, and said: "Stop reading my fucking note! God, are you ever going to leave me alone?!?!" So, I asked: "...what...note?" She rolled her eyes and moved to another seat. So, naturally, I was in my seat thinking "What the hell did I do?" Anyway, in third hour she sat beside me again. Again, she was writing notes and I didn't know that she was, so I turned around to talk to her. She FREAKED out and starts yelling about how I'm a nosy bitch. I was ...b...
