cutting as an adult
Posted Wednesday May 15 2013, 3:33 am
20/f
I would like to state that I am a 20 year old adult. I cut and have since I was 13. I'm not depressed but am going through a very stressful time. I know this issue may be more common in younger teenagers but I'm an adult and am not in the same mentality as a younger individual so, please take that into consideration to those of you who are kind enough to help me. when I was younger I tried to seek help but with my experience asking for help did more harm than good so i haven't told anyone since I was 13. This issue has carried on with me and hasn't gone away and I don't know how to stop. I've tried many times to stop but all I have managed to do is get better control over it at times. I've thought about going to counseling but a...

Depression and Mom
Posted Tuesday May 7 2013, 8:43 pm
My mom doesn't get it. All she does it put me down calling me ungrateful, stupid, and sometimes tell me to shut up. I wish she were a little more understanding. I've been to so many school counselors for advice and they just referred me to family counseling- in which now I have a case worker but I feel like there's no progress. My case worker then referred me and my mom to a psychologist.
When I got my report card a few months back, my mom flipped when I failed one class and saw that I was late or didn't even go to school. I was scared for the new quarter to come in the mail since I was still going to school late but I was failing three. I mentioned this worry to my psychologist on Saturday and she helped me break it down to my mom....

Posted Tuesday April 30 2013, 11:09 pm
I'm 13, female. I feel nothing. For about a year, I haven't been happy, sad, embarrassed, or anything. I know why. Long story short, my dad sucks, and I hate him. Other than anger and frustration, I'm empty inside. Accordinng to my research online, it's probably some sort of defense mechanism. I don't take antidepressants anymore. No one believes me. I go to a therapist, and she thinks I'm ignoring it, supressing it. I'm not, I'm not. I don't even want to tell my parents. They'll say the same thing. Question is, what's wrong with me?

Am I insane, or is it everyone else? What do you think about my thoughts?
Posted Tuesday April 30 2013, 10:32 pm
This is a question of what you think of my craziness. Everyone is insanne, because we all see different things from the same things. Our ears turn noise into something comprehensible. Maybe, what each of us hear from the same thing is different. Same for seeing. In turn, what I hear or see happening is based on what I think I said or did. So, in a way, we are all living in our own little fantasy. There's no way for me to even know your real opinion, because you could think I'm saying something totally different than I am. I just see the words, and, from what my brain says I typed, I interpret what anyone would say back. So in a way, we are all completely alone. By the way, I'm 13, so excuse my oddness for being a teenager, and hormones, or ...

I'm weird, but I do not think I am a sociopath.
Posted Sunday April 28 2013, 10:07 pm
I am 13, female. Lately, my mom has started to think any disorder that even slightly matches my perssonality is something I have. Last week, it was Asperger's Syndrome, and now she thinks I am a sociopth. I am callous, unfeeling, bookish, a nerd, and socially awkward. I like routine. I have odd beliefs, such as everyone being insane. I tell my parents very little without being provoked. I don't understand normal people, or why anyone would want to be normal. I have few friends and avoid social situations. I overthink things, mainly because I never stop thinking, except while sleeping. I enjoy the comfort of routine and the logic of science, and daedal, descriptive use of words. I obsess over a concept for a month at most, and, extinguishing...

my friend has depression
Posted Saturday April 27 2013, 5:20 pm
So me&my friend are both 15/f and my friend has depression. It's getting worse and worse and its been going on for months now and I have no idea what to do for her..she needs help. However, she does NOT want to go to the doctors, she cant tell my parents and I cant tell mine..its out of the question. Also my school is just so untrustworthy , we tried talking to them before and theyre just so stupid and unhelpful its ridiculous. Without all that is there a way to help her? I mean im assuming unhelpful answers here, but I need something thanks!

humility: how do you stay humble?
Posted Monday April 22 2013, 2:56 am
How do you stay humble? Lately, I've found myself a little too self-absorbed. I've recently had some pretty cool accomplishments, and I find it hard to strike a balance between boasting about them and having an appropriate amount of pride. Not only that, but I've recently joined a club at school that's a big of an ego warfare; I feel like I have to brag about myself to get people to like me. So how do you guys forget all that crap and keep yourself down to earth?

I have become less alert than I used to.
Posted Sunday April 14 2013, 10:18 pm
Hi! I'm a girl, 19 y/o and from Malaysia. I can say that my problem is quite random. Recently i find myself having a short term memory problem. Sometimes whenever I'm doing something, I'm easily tend to forget why I'm doing it. At the end I've wasted so much time on 1 thing. just to let you know I am a medic student and just finished my first observation at hospital. My therapists keep on telling me that i have to be more observant and alert to the things happening at surrounding. Sometimes they have to ask or tell me many times then i will respond to them. To tell you the truth it was like i have been daydreaming all the time eventhough im not. I feel really slow. And last thing, when i try to memorize a simple thing, my head will feel hot...

My periods are affecting the quality of my life; How can I stop having periods forever?
Posted Sunday April 14 2013, 12:58 pm
My period affects my quality of life
I am bothered by the amount of bleeding & the pain that I have during my period
My period makes me feel depressed, tired or moody
My life would improve if I could decrease or completely eliminate my periods
I would like to learn about a simple procedure that can help me take control of my period
I am sure I do not want any (more) children in the future
I cannot use any birthcontrol method due to Chronic Allergies
I did reseach on NovaSure But I still need to be on birthcontrol & I cannot use it
I really need a procedure to help with my periods & something to protect me from having anymore children
Is sterilization my only option or is there another procedure for me

Posted Friday April 12 2013, 11:35 pm
I'm 14, female, and oddly addicted to porn. I can't stop watching it. Yet, I have a hard time having an orgasm. Is it normal? I mean, I feel embarrassed after I watch it, but I can't help it. Also, I've been waking up and noticing that I'm really wet. What does it mean?
