I hear voices i& seeing weird stuff...whats wrong with me?
Posted Tuesday December 17 2013, 8:01 pm
I don't know what to do. i don't want people to think Im crazy. I don't think theres nothing mentally wrong with me. I don't talk to people about the voices I hear cause they won't believe me or they will tell me to ignore it. I can't ignore it, its scary and loud. I can't sleep most of the time and Im paranoid. Im always looking around me cause I think evil spirits or demons are after me. I've seen shadow people since I was 9 years old. I also saw a lady with stitched lips and eyes, she had long curly hair and pale skin, I think she was a ghost or demon. Theres also this black cloud following me in my house
I also hear people talking all day, but I don't understand what they're saying. I heard a voice tell me I was going to ...

Anxiety issues!!!!
Posted Monday December 16 2013, 5:25 pm
Hi, I'm a sixteen year old girl, around 98 pounds, no health issues. I have severe health anxiety and depression problems. I go through left arm pain sometimes, and it scares the crap out of me! I always think its because of a heart attack. I'm having no chest pain, very light arm pain. It comes and goes. No shortness of breath, no sweating, no "sense of doom" . My shoulder and arm just ache for a minute then goes away after I stop thinking about it. Also goes away after I sleep. Do you think there's a reason to worry, or should I continue to ignore it? (I have been to the doctor and she said my heart sounded fine and I have normal blood pressure)

advice on making self harm cuts disappear fast.
Posted Monday December 16 2013, 12:56 am
Recently I've been feeling quite empty and I have cut myself on my leg with a razor. There's a lot of them. The problem is that my boyfriend is coming over in a couple of days and if he sees them he will flip, maybe even break up with me. Don't get me wrong, he's really understanding, but he thought I wouldn't be stupid enough to do it. Also I lied and told him that I wouldn't do it. I NEED to get rid of them NOW. Any suggestions as to what I can do? Bearing in mind these are fresh cuts and they they haven't yet started healing. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

help with emotions.
Posted Sunday December 15 2013, 11:14 pm
Im a very emotional person. If I get yelled at or am around any negativity I tend to shut down or cry. I usually tend to be very happy. But can also come off very dramatic. Every little thing that happens tends to be a crisis for me as I get upset so easily. I am looking for some tips to help me control my emotions better. So that I don't always come off as a crazy dramatic psycho...

Signs of anxiety?
Posted Sunday December 8 2013, 3:23 pm
Is your hand tingling and back pain and LOADS of crying signs of anxiety? I do have anxiety, but these signs are driving me insane! I wake up an my heart rate is increased a little, (I am sick though. I have a cold and whatnot) I feel weak when I wake, and it takes a while to start feeling better. I'm also anemic. I'm on my period as well, and I've heard anemia can get worse with periods! Does it all sound normal, or not? I have been to the doctor and she said my heart sounded fine.

I'm transgender and I feel more alone than ever. . . .
Posted Saturday December 7 2013, 8:41 pm
Hello,
First off, I apologize for the long question.
So, I'm thirteen, and I'm FTM.
I came out to my parents almost a month ago. When I came out to my dad, he asked me why I can't accept how I was made in the womb. And whenever I refer to myself as a "boy" or a "he" my dad gets frustrated and tells me I'm a girl and I need to shut up.
My mom wasn't really accepting either. She said that I'm trying too hard to fit into a certain gender role. And she said she could never accept me as a boy because she has always thought of me as her daughter.
No one will ever understand what I feel inside when I'm called a "girl" and a "she." My mom says what pe...

I'm always afraid someone will die
Posted Saturday December 7 2013, 9:32 am
20/f
As the title says I'm always afraid that someone close to me will die. Whenever my boyfriends phone is off or he isn't answering I imagine him being in a terrible accident. Whenever he's late I think the same thing. Or I think he just dropped dead. The same thing goes for my mom when she doesn't answer the phone. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never had anyone close to me die or anything like that. I've never lost someone I love before so why is this always happening? Right now my boyfriends phone is off and it's probably because his battery is dead. He should be home by now but he's not which probably means that he just had to stay a little longer at work. But I'm still sitting here with an uncomfortable feeling in my...

Do you believe that a person can be haunted?
Posted Friday December 6 2013, 9:45 pm
I can tell what I have seen and NO I don't drink or do drugs. I have been having this problem since I was 9 years old. I have seen plenty of shadows people around my house, some of them have red eyes & move quickly. They are not shadows of any of the people I am with nor are they shadows cast by me. Two nights ago I was staying over at a friends and I woke up because my phone had gone off (For no reason) It was about 3:40 or so and I looked over towards the door and I saw a figure standing. It was wearing an all white cloak with a hood. It stood with it's arms folded in front of it and it was fairly short & it was coming at me. One night I literaly saw a red demon on fire in front of my bed. It scared the shit outta me for d...

Confusion (Long question with details)
Posted Friday December 6 2013, 2:47 am
This is going to be real long :/ I need advice, Opinions and thoughts on what this all says about a person please.
Have you ever had so much to say but can't find the words to even describe just one way you feel or even think? Does it ever cross your mind that the things you think about are things you've talked about a million times? When you've tried everything to forgive and forget certain situations or past events but they randomly creep up at you when you are given a free moment to think. Perhaps the thinking is nonstop on a daily basis and becomes a rare friend or even a perfect enemy? Sometimes you are dazed or lost in deep thought and someone ask "Are you alright?" Mhm, Sure I am alright. I have a mi...

I'm changing and feel distant from people
Posted Thursday December 5 2013, 6:45 am
I feel like I'm growing up and I'm going through a transition in which my values are changing. I'm starting to feel extremely distant from my friends who I once loved dearly, especially my best friend who is in the process of taking on a new boyfriend. These friends who 4 months ago made my entire life a joy now make me extremely angry and frustrated to the point in which I can't be around them because it gives me too much anxiety ESPECIALLY when alcohol is involved. I spend a lot of time alone but when the couple things I rely on besides people fail me, like music, my world falls apart. I also had a recent death in my family of someone I was very close with. Being away at college has been something I could rely on to escape the anxiety I f...

Well I don't think this is going to end well
Posted Sunday December 1 2013, 5:48 pm
Hello advicenators, I am a 15 year old male and have struggled with self harm for 4 years and various eating disorders and I think I may be gay. Yes that is quite a handful of things, but I am bulimia binge free for 3 months and haven't cut for 6 days ( after a 3 week clean). I'm frustrated about my sexuality in general and feel different in the backwards little town I live in. I honestly just want to cut and fall asleep for a while and wake up and know for sure if I will be accepted and if I am more than bisexual. I grow weary of all this uncertainty, but I understand how there is no 100% way to know at my age. My mother knows, and she has been making offensive jokes about it and sneers at the very fact of it all... I want this to stop mor...

Super bad anxiety issues.
Posted Sunday December 1 2013, 3:56 pm
Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl and I have been struggling with anxiety for over a year now and I'm really getting sick of it. I've had nearly 11 or 12 panc attacks within the last two months. I find myself worrying about my breathing, I have pressure in my head and I always focus on my heartbeat. I have no history of any medical problems so I'm clueless as to why I'm so concerned, other than the fact that about two months ago, I drank a glass of Mountain Dew (and see I began working at a McDonald's and started drink coffee and tea and side ALL the time.) and I guess my body reacted to the caffeine and my heart sped up and I panicked. Since then I've started doing breathing exersises, but sometimes I just have this "unreal" feeling. Li...

2013 has been a challenging year for me. It started out with my mother getting diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and lymphnode cancer. Even now she still might not make it. Each day I worry if she is okay and each treatment she has puts me in a state of fear not knowing if she can overcome the effects. Another weight is the guilt I have for getting an abortion earlier this year weighing on me. I know it was right but it still hurts. Now, Friday night my boyfriend picks me up from work and is quiet the whole way home. Doesn't say anything but rubs my leg and smiles at me sadly. We get home and he tells me my mother called and wants to speak with me. She tells me my grandfather is in kidney failure and will not make it to Thank...

I really like being sick ..
Posted Monday November 25 2013, 8:05 am
Hi :)
The thing is that I really really like being sick. (Having a cold/fever etc.) It worries me a little. I don't really get much attention to be honest so I don't think that it has to do anything with that. My mom works most of the time so nobody takes care of me. But I still love it. I currently have a cold and I don't want it to go away. I actually kept my old tissues so I can sniff them to keep my cold ._. I know it's weird, please don't be mean about it :/ Whenever someone close to me gets sick I get really jealous :( I do admit that I don't like myself very much so is this some sort of self harm? I do have the feeling that I have more of a right to live when I'm sick. Usually I'm just ashamed of being there but when I'm sick ...

I had an abortion and now I feel horrible.

Hello, I posted last week asking for advice on this matter. My boyfriend of two years and myself recently discovered I was pregnant. Him already having a daughter that I am helping raise. We both decided now was not the time for another child if we wanted to progress in life at the moment. Well I decided instead to go for surgical. The most physical and emotionally painful thing I have experienced in some time. Luckily he was by my side every minute. Afterwards I cried and cried for several hours. He went to sleep and I continued to cry. I feel extreme guilt and sorrow over this. Half of me pictured another sweet little girl like his with darkhair, fair skin, and a sweet smile. I didnt want his.little girl confused though as to why another ...

My sister says I have irrational fears. (4 phobias, and 13 fears) I would like to go to the school counsellor about them but I (unfortunately) am too scared. Like, I don't want to waste her time or interrupt her. What do counsellors talk to you about? What do they do to help you? Does anyone have answers to these questions? All advice appreciated. :)
