Why I am feeling like this?
Posted Friday November 8 2013, 10:38 pm
I'm thirteen and female. I have felt rather confused about who I am lately.
I'm going to start with the fact that I just can't stand to look like a girl. When I look in the mirror, I dislike what I see. It's almost like I'm looking at a stranger. I mean, what I see on the outside doesn't really match who I am on the inside.
I want to cut my hair short, but my parents would never let me, so a lot of times I have to hide my hair with the hood of my sweater. And I wear clothes from the guys' section because it makes me feel more like my true self.
If I am going to a formal event and my mom makes me wear a dress, it feels extremely wrong, and I get upset about it.
When I see guys, I so...

How can I forget about this disorder I am afraid I am going to get?
Posted Tuesday October 15 2013, 11:15 pm
I'm 14, and a girl. So last year I came on this website and I was looking at the "Recent Popular Questions" and I saw a question asking "do I have this disorder?" Me, being nosy as I am clicked on it and it said the symptoms of depersonilization disorder which I only have one( feeling like life is a dream)which is normal but I read if u think too much about it u eventually believe you have it. My grandmother and I have touched on this subject and she got me a counselor. I'm really shy so I don't want to go to a counselor but anyways, I've had this disorder on my mind for the past 10 months and I've been really worried I'm going to get it because it doesn't sound like fun to have at all. I want to live my life, not worry...

Dead Emotionally?
Posted Thursday October 10 2013, 4:15 pm
Over the last few years i've become increasing `cold-hearted`and i just simply don't care about things anymore for example:
starving children in 3rd world countries
just don't care one bit
This is starting to really irritate me because I'm keeping everyone at arms length, on top of that small things like my brother not eating at the dinner table causes me to get angry (chest hurts)
I just want to know if i'm stressed? psychotic? or just going through a phase?
Many thanks if you've read this

Posted Saturday October 5 2013, 9:30 pm
So im 16/f and i have an awful memory. I daydream a lot, im on my phone a lot and idk if that has anything to do with it? I'm trying to write in my journal from all the events of the last month and im drawing a blank.

There are things i can recall but its vague and its just worrying me cause its been like this for a while. I dont remember for how long though. Ugh is this serious?

Ah i dont know, does anyone else have this? Pleasr help!

Constant worry shame about never been in a relationship/lack of sexual exp.
Posted Friday October 4 2013, 9:42 pm
So I'm in a bit of an unusual situation. I'm 26 years old and I have never been in a relationship, I'm not a virgin, having lost my virginity on a one night stand when I was 23 just because I was tired of being a virgin and wanted to see what the fuss was about but since then I have not wanted to do it with anyone. It's not for any moral or religious reasons, it's just that I've never really had to desire to get with anyone beyond kissing and I have been out of work and college the past two years so I haven't had the most normal social life beyond going out clubbing over the past while. Plus I've always been highly independent and have never really met the right person who wasn't attached already. Just recently I started thinking about it a...

Can you help me get out of this slump, or tell me why my mind is doing this?
Posted Thursday October 3 2013, 7:36 pm
Thanxs in advance!!
Alright here I go, well, my life hasn't been perfect by any means in the last 4 weeks or so my I take care of my mother when my father isn't at home or at work. Well, I usually have to do everything now around the house. Well, my mind and this has been happening for the last 6 months actually has been "controlling me" if that makes any sense. I feel like a failure to my family, to my life, to mostly everything in general. I feel very restricted inside myself. My mind always comes back to give me the reminder that I'm psychotic or fat or a mental bitch that no one will ever love because no one likes big girls. I sit in my room every night and cry about it and wonder what else I can do to fuck up...

Acting Like Another Gender vs. Actually Wanting to Be Another Gender
Posted Wednesday October 2 2013, 10:02 pm
I know this is a weird question, but I'm going to try.
How do you tell the difference between just acting like another gender and actually wanting to BE another gender? I'm a bit confused with my gender myself and am hoping to know how to tell the difference.
Thank you!

Gender Identity
Posted Saturday September 28 2013, 10:35 pm
I'm thirteen years old. I have identified as a girl for most of my life, but I have felt rather confused lately.
I feel like I have two genders, if that makes any sense. I sometimes feel like a girl, but there are many times when I feel, er, gender-neutral I guess.
If it helps, I am attracted to girls . . . I just don't see guys in that way. And I prefer to wear gender-neutral clothes.
I guess my question is, why do I feel like this? And does this mean something?
Thanks for any advice!

I feel "stuck" in the same place
Posted Thursday September 26 2013, 4:07 pm
20/f
So I'm halfway done with college. And I feel stuck. I feel like this is the time when people start realizing who they are, what they want to do with their lives, and then they have all these changes going on. Well I feel like my life hasn't changed at all since like high school. Everyone I know is getting internships or serious relationships, or even just their attitudes are maturing. And I just feel the same as I've always been.
I'm the kind of person that get's bored with my life so I am always looking for some kind of change. Recently I've been craving a change so I quit my sport that I played in college. i have all this free time now and I'm still indifferent about how i feel about it.

so ive had an advicenators account for about 5 years now and have gone through on and off phases of using it. i used it a lot when i was in freshmen year of high school and again a few times end of junior year. basiclly in looking through my 9th grade questions im literally humiliated at how pathetic i sounded and in shock/denial that i was ever that big of a loser. to sum up, i was really normal in middle school then aparently 9th grade and a bit of 10th was not my prime. i sounded friendless and pathetic in all my eager advice seeking and typed things i would never even let myself think now. then i got to 11th and 12th grade and had the time of my life, i got everything i was so desperate to have in my earlier high school years and more,...

College Student, 20, M, Freeloader Who Wants to be Self-Sufficient
Posted Wednesday September 11 2013, 12:52 am
I have never had a job in my life, apart from working for my grandparents on the weekend, doing yard work and helping fix houses and stuff. My mom has been paying for my college and an apartment for me for the past two years. She pays for my car insurance, cell phone, pretty much everything except my power bill, food (most of the time), gas for my car, and my internet.
In another two quarters I will be out of school. By this time, I want to be 100% self-sufficient. I want to have a job in graphic design (or something along those lines). I possibly want to move away from here. I know that I'll miss my family and that they'll miss me, but I believe that getting a fresh start will be good for me. I don't have very many friends ...

I fear life after college so much that I cry at the very thought of it. Is there any point to life after college? Any point at all?
Posted Sunday September 8 2013, 8:17 pm
I love life so much when I'm at college, I almost feel like it's too good to be true. At home, I barely have any friends and nothing to do. Here, I have THE most perfect, amazing friends, I'm studying the things I love and doing well in them, my apartment is beautiful, I get to party every weekend and love it, I'm starting to become prettier, etc. I've gone from hating my life at home to living a life at school that I wouldn't change any part of. I'm TERRIFIED that I will lose this happiness once I graduate this spring. The thought of losing all this is literally heartbreaking. I cry every time I think about it. My senior year so far has been perfect. With each passing day though, I panic at the fact that it's one day closer to the end. Par...
