I think I'm dyslexic
Posted Saturday November 17 2012, 6:50 am
I think I may be dyslexic? I'm 12 and I tried to tell my mum I think I'm dyslexic because I've done loads of tests on the Internet and they ALL say yes, I can't even tell my dad because he died when I was young and my grandparents all live faraway, the only people who believe me are my small group of friends.

ADHD: how do I know if I have ADHD or give me some possible signs of it.
Posted Wednesday November 14 2012, 11:02 pm
I honestly consider myself a pretty smart person. I joke around sometimes but once class starts I try my best to do my work and be serious. I get A's and B's on my report card ( its never been lower). So this is my problem: sometimes I have a hard time EXPLAINING things but I think I do good most of the time. Well at gym we were practicing volleyball and we had partners and while we were playing I missed the ball and I was like " sorry, I didn't know u had hit it to me yet" and then she was like " ohhhh ADHD" and I was shocked that she would say something like that so I shutgged my shoulders. I don't do very well with problems ( like cancer or ADHD). I know thins because a lot of people at my have like some issue and I d...

Driven over the edge... by my mother!
Posted Tuesday November 13 2012, 9:26 pm
Im crying right now so Im kinda in a fragile state of mind. So I try all the time in school and i feel like no one else truly understands. Publically people think im so nice when I'm not. They don't know me really. When I get home I want time to myself. I came home at 6 today and I hadn't eaten at all. I go in my room and as soon as I open my mouth to eat, my mom yells my name. she does this VERY frequently. So I yell "okaaaay!" She came up to my room and I basically said "I just got home im tired, I havent ate, leave me alone" (In a yelling complaining voice) To make a long story short, my mom thinks im like my oldest sister and im gonna turn into this bad teen and hit her and all that stuff. Im my own person, I skippe...

Social Anxiety
Posted Saturday November 10 2012, 5:19 am
18/F
I know I have social anxiety. I always have. My heart starts pounding, I get short of breath, and I have Tourettes, which also tend to go out of control in social situations so I'm standing there listening to someone and my body's twitching all over the place. I used to make my friends take up my papers in school because I was too scared to get up in front of everyone. Even getting picked on during class to answer a question made my face get really hot and my chest all tight.
I even do it over the Internet! If someone tries to chat me on Facebook, I get super nervous and spend at least five minutes trying to think of something proper to say, but then I feel like an idiot because when I do manage to finally speak, ...

I can't move in my sleep. I have scary dreams about the devil & demons.I'm a christian and believe in god.

Feeling Empty Inside
Posted Thursday November 8 2012, 2:29 am
19/F
First of all thank you for whom is reading this. I go to school part time and just got a new job. I'm trying to figure out myself and just deleted my Facebook because I feel as if it is a distraction. I feel empty, and it's normally when I'm not talking to a guy. I don't know why I feel this way. My last two boyfriends started as one night stands. One lasted a year, the other one two years. I can't seem to take a relationship slow either. Is it just my hormones? I feel like it's wrong to have sex with multiple people but lately I've been wanting to. Most of my friends are guys as well. I use to have an alcoholic problem but I've been a lot better. I just don't understand why I'm so addicted to guys.

Major relapse :(

M/17
I can't keep doing this. I've been trying to end a porn addiction, a shemale porn addiction. It started 3 years ago while looking at normal porn. There've been times where I'd go a few days without it. At one point 5 days had me feeling great until I relapsed on a bad day. Every time I try, I start to feel better, but then any little annoyance would make me mad and I'd relapse. Well, I just broke my longest run, 18 days. I'm pissed and I feel like crap. During the 18 days, my moods were going crazy. Then there's the whole gay thing, I don't feel gay at all. I get obsessed over girls easily. I was attracted to the shemale porn because of how feminine and different they were. I really want to get out of this phase. It's really har...

My Girlfriend Worries About EVERYTHING!!!
Posted Monday October 22 2012, 12:11 am
My girlfriend can be surprisingly laid back at times and strangely overly anxious at others. She was afraid that her kidneys were failing last month when it was a much less serious problem, she worried that she had a brain tumor once when simply because of a headache, and she thought she was having a stroke last summer because he arm had fallen asleep and was tingling. Now, she's freaking out because some idiot on an internet site I warned her not to go to claimed that he was going to release a virus in the US that would wipe out the entire population, which is ridiculous, right? I told her that he's just a crazyass who probably didn't mean it and have tried to come up with other reasons it won't happen, but she won't calm down. Please help...
