Friend or psychiatrist?
Posted Saturday June 15 2013, 6:07 pm
I have all the friends in the world. Ever since I was basically born I've had many friends and always been satisfied. Until I turned 17 and my life and future began flashing before my eyes. Nervous and terrified, all I needed was someone to talk to. That's when I realized that I can't talk to anyone I know now. I've had some good friends in the past ones that I probably could have talked to but as the course of life would have it they all became really distant. I feel so alone trying to deal with everything I feel I need to do. Pressure from all over is coming at me. My parents and my grades and university and keeping close with friends trying not to lose any. Being the best I can. This website seems to be my only hope of letting it all out...

another sob story.
Posted Saturday June 15 2013, 5:59 pm
I used to feel accomplishment in anything I did. I would clean and re-do my room and it would make me feel awesome. It was the best feeling in the world. Today I cleaned, I studied for exams, I learned another song on the piano, downloaded some great songs on my iPod and I baked for my family. Nothing... I can't get happy. Mind you I have exams and I've been so stressed but that should not be as big of a deal as I feel it is. All of a sudden I feel as though this summer will define the rest of my life and this fear is affecting everything I do. I'm so nervous that I can't even enjoy the little things. How do I burry my funk?

Is it awful to feel this way?
Posted Saturday June 15 2013, 1:53 pm
I'm an 18 year old male, and I could never even think about young girls sexually. But the other day at work, a girl came in with her parents and was clearly(by looking at her face and size) about 13 years old. However, she was very developed in every other way, quite well endowed, in good shape, in dressed in an outfit that complimented her features VERY well, and I couldn't help but be attracted to her. I would never try anything, because I know that it would be horribly wrong. But does the fact that I couldn't get her out of my head make me a monster? Or is it normal to feel that way under those circumstances?

Am I Weird?
Posted Thursday June 13 2013, 3:23 pm
Am I weird? All the people at my school and most my friends say that I'm mental and should be put into a mental facility. They all think that I'm weird and odd because I don't act like everyone else. I'm confused. I'm a free-spirit but I don't know what is wrong. Please help...thank you!

Do people feel anything for the pain felt every day the this life torments my very existence.the logical decision is to simply end it all and move on from the constant haunting trying to simply live amongst the so called human world.BUT.....regardless of how much I do or how good I constantly try to be choosing love first instead of hate always I am kicked and battered by peoples assumptions of less factual evidence and yet is seen as truth when all I try to do is survive .For far too long I have been living on the streets and more so than often have not eaten anything of substance and attempting with little or no success to look clean unfortunately I smell so badly that no deodorant can disguise the sheer stench that two weeks without a sh...

Vagina problem: Terrified of anything going near or in my vagina.
Posted Wednesday June 12 2013, 8:15 pm
I'm going to be blunt and say that I am terrified of anything going near my vagina. I've never once used tampons or stuck my finger in there.
Until I was told to get the annual check up that all females get. I went to the doctor and she didn't even get the tip of her finger in and I was screaming. I was terrified and I'm still not sure why. She says it's some kind of trauma, but I've never had anything traumatizing happen to me. I'm just terrified of pain and discomfort. To show me it was okay, she used something to numb me down there and then had me stick my finger inside myself and it was probably the most disturbing thing in my entire life. I did not like it at all and I could never understand how someone could like it....

I think I am cross-eyed but my parents say I am not. What's Wrong?
Posted Wednesday June 12 2013, 1:57 am
(This is kind of confusing, sorry.)
So my mind is making me think I'm cross-eyed and I'm not. I really don't think it's my eyes. I can read and see, and even my parents say I don't look cross-eyed. It's my mind telling me I'm cross-eyed, and It won't stop.. I know that sounds weird, but what do I do about this then?

Ever since last year, I've been feeling "not all there". I think this is depersonalization disorder, but I haven't been diagnosed. If there's medication for this, what medication would I have to get? I don't really want to see a doctor.

My grandmother is 78 yrs old & going crazy. (please read)
Posted Saturday June 8 2013, 11:30 am
I think she has some type of mental disorder but she will not go to the doctor and she doesn't think that she's crazy. She wants nobody to help her. She's scared to stay by herself because she thinks that her whole neighborhood is out to get her. Her house is falling apart, she has junk everywhere she's a hoarder. Her roof has holes in it and her walls are literally splitting apart at the corners. She refuses to get someone to look at her house cause she knows it will be condemned. She thinks that her neighbors are climbing on her roof and getting into her basement. She thinks that they are throwing heat and hydrochloric acid at her and her house.
She has No type of air conditioning and she refuses to leave her house. It REAL...

Crazy or Hypochondriac?
Posted Friday June 7 2013, 10:46 pm
I hear a song and I don't feel anything. Music is what makes me tic. Now I feel nothing. The only time I feel something is once I turn off the television and know that my reality is about to slam me in the face. My stomach drops. In television they have all these teenagers but never show them worrying about school. It is all about the drama. Reality checks in and I`m petrified. I realized that I might not like what I think I like. Maybe I'm just following others. What I see on television or through others. I just need to know that others feel this way too. Or maybe I need to know that I need help. I can`t think for myself.

How can i get over molestation and rape?
Posted Wednesday June 5 2013, 9:18 pm
Im a 20 yr old female and my question today is how can i get over molestation and rape? Growing up and becoming a woman wasnt easy with all the harassment I've been through. I've been through some type of sexual harassment during my lifetime and I've gotten raped as well this happened about a year ago. I use to live with my ex boyfriends mom and at the time i slept in a room alone. During this time i was on medication for a heart condition i have and it would put me to sleep and make me weak. I remember more thas one night someone would come in the room and harass me sexually i didn't know who but i know it was a male because i ended up pregnant. I need help getting over this because it sometimes interferes with my present life now. Please help

Confused feelings
Posted Thursday May 30 2013, 11:18 am
At the moment I've had quite a lot on in my life and have been struggling to motivate myself - I'm constantly feeling really low. I now know that I had glandular fever a few months back and that I may just be quite tired from that but I think it's more than that.
I feel so crap about everything I do and feel like giving up. I never have enough energy to go out, going to school is literally the only time I go out of the house. At school I just sit on my own and stare into the distance... I've tried talking to teachers but I don't really know what to say. My head is so overcrowded with stuff and I can't think clearly about anything.
I don't know what to do.

How to face challenges and be more wise in life ?
Posted Monday May 27 2013, 9:39 am
Hi guys, if you must know i'm 18. The problem is, i'm in a downward spiral so yes, i need some advice. I know people out there face tougher challenges, but i know my life will get worse too if i don't face 'em. I'm starting to cling onto people to get happiness and my self-esteem is breaking down.

We're no longer close and i break down every night missing him. Anyhow, I could no longer stress out due to t...

How can I let go of my fears?
Posted Friday May 17 2013, 12:51 am
I crave for a true purpose in life. I would like to help people and do something that really matters. But I feel like I'm so incapable of reaching my goals... or maybe I don't have any definite goals anymore. I always have this fear. I know it's very unnecessary and I don't need it. But it's always here in me. I want to say something, to speak my heart or just to simply be wherever I am. I think I've lost my voice and I can't simply say what's in my heart. I always run away. That's why I don't have a stable job, never been with a relationship and I don't want to be this way anymore. Maybe I know what to do but I feel like it's so hard to start and I don't have the strength anymore. I need help. Please I beg for help.
