Facing up to mistakes, controlling fear
Posted Wednesday April 18 2012, 3:07 pm
Fear has destroyed my life. Made so many stupid mistakes. Is there chance to start again.
I moved to the states 12 years ago , i came on a visa waiver and overstayed. My mum has borderline personality disorder, i so badly wanted to get away from her. I met a guy on the internet, i was in love , visited him in the states and overstayed my waiver. He refused to apply for a adjustment of status for me, so i lived here illegally i was too afraid to go back to england, i had nowhere to go.
We were married. He ended up meeting another girl on the internet (this time from thailand) He broke up with me , we stayed married anyway untill he decided to marry the girl from the internet. We divorced. I stayed here anyway and ended up in a ...

Injury
Posted Wednesday April 18 2012, 12:38 pm
How do you stay positive and happy when you're injured? I used to be a very happy person, but I currently have carpal tunnel and tendonitis (and a related neck problem). I'm unable to really work (they have me standing greeting people), can't do anything involving repetitive motion, and am in a lot of pain all the time. I'm in physical therapy, so hopefully it'll get better, but how do I stay happy and positive in the meantime? A lot of people think I'm faking it and I just feel so useless all the time. I'm getting really angry and bitter (especially at the way I'm treated by people at work) and it's no good.

Lyme Disease & Depression
Posted Tuesday April 17 2012, 1:24 am
20/F
I've recently been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I've been taking the antibiotics for almost two weeks now. I can't help but feel really depressed. I try so hard to be happy, but it's such a struggle. Today I had more energy than usual, which made me happy, but at the end of the day I was exhausted and depressed again.
Any tips on how to deal with depression with Lyme Disease?
Does anyone know when I'll finally feel like myself again?
Thank you :)

My own voice scared me!
Posted Monday April 16 2012, 10:03 pm
Just a minute ago I was recording some stuff on my phone. It's 10 at night and I was in bed, lights off. I listened to the first couple then I made a new one but I listened to it and the voice was very deep and it sounded like when people try to hide their voices it was really creepy and I get scared very easily. I can't turn on my light because my mom might see it so I'm freaking out pretty badly and I didn't listen to the whole thing cause it was too scary. Was happened? I was talking normally and it worked the records before that one. The only backround noise was the radio but it didn't effect the other recordings at all. Please help, thanks! :)

How can I stop getting jealous of other people's looks and accomplishments?
Posted Sunday April 15 2012, 11:35 am
and direct this energy to positively help me improve my life, by actually trying to reach my goals, instead of just giving up before I try? I just feel defeated lately, because I've made so many mistakes, and I'm about to graduate high school and I've just made the whole experience terrible for myself, and it hurts to just think about it. i want to black it out and focus on making a lot better future, going to college and everything, but I still get caught up in the past, and seeing other successful people just makes me jealous and self hating, and removes what little motivation I have left. ugh what can I do?

Sick when I think of food or sit down to eat.
Posted Thursday April 12 2012, 10:52 pm
For the past few days, I have been getting very nauseous about food. I am a vegetarian, and very skinny, but I eat enormous amounts of food! I love food! I eat small portions at breakfast so I won't be bloated, a simple lunch of fruit, a basic meal like rice or pita bread with shrimp, salad, or even some ramen. I also pack a drink, chips or pretzels, and maybe a granola bar. I have a pretty good healthy diet; lately when I sit down to eat at lunch or think about food, I get extremely nauseous. And I was nauseous on Monday, with an extreme lack of appetite and nausea. I woke up and felt absolutely horrid that day like I was going to throw up.
My friends keep taunting me that I am pregnant, and after a while, I laughed... but ...

Help Me! I'm Really Scared Right Now.
Posted Friday April 6 2012, 11:52 pm
Well it's the middle of the night and I just back from my moms room because I watch TV with her most nights and when I got to my room and suddenly felt very scared. I know that electrical currents can do this but it's worse than worse than normal and I just keep praying to God to help me feel calm. My light is on and I have music playing so there is nothing scary about my room but my room always gives me this feeling but never this bad. Please tell me something to do to help me feel safer. I didn't watch any scary TV at all so I odn't know why this is happening. Thanks.

Will my mom and my brother get on with there lives after i kill myself?
Posted Thursday March 29 2012, 7:05 pm
First of all id just like to say this is more of a statement than a question and for that i apologise i just thought that somebody should hear what im thinking before i die. Im male, 21 years old from the uk and ive finally given up on life.
Ive been trawling the net for days trying to find reasons why i shouldnt kill my self and i just can't think of any, ive felt dead for years, i know its selfish but i dont see any other way.
IT all goes back 11 years when i found out my biological father was a peodophile, what a way to fuck a kids head up, i dont blame my mom for telling me, she got advice from many different people and authorities and was told that it was best to tell me. since then i was never the same i took to ...

organ donation to save others that want to live, i do not want to.
Posted Thursday March 29 2012, 2:51 pm
My existence is an absolute waste of space! I am 42 years old, never been married and have no children, Thank GOD! Just my existence,stresses out the only people that love me, my poor parents! I cant get a job to support myself, pathetic. I am so grateful my parents let me live with them now, because being homeless is hell. Living with them, I ALWAYS feel so awful, guilty, embarassed, ashamed, miserable, in the way, a mooch, loser and big disappointment. I serve NO purpose here, I do nothing, I am a failure. I am not alive. Ending my wasteful existence makes so much sense! My first choice is to donate all my organs, body parts, blood, eyes, etc... So many things that may be able to help others. I am afraid to bring this option up, because...

I daydream too much.
Posted Tuesday March 20 2012, 8:56 pm
I am a 14 year old girl. At home and at school I daydream. I'm usually daydreaming about being in one of my favorite books or TV shows like the Hungergames or Pokemon. Honestly, I sometimes finish work faster than the norm in my class and the first thing I do is put my head down and daydream. Is there something wrong with me. I know no one here is a doctor, but advice would really help.

I feel out of touch myself.
Posted Sunday March 18 2012, 12:23 am
Lately I've been thinking a lot about myself and it seems as if I can genuinely feel emotion. I'm straying farther and farther away from my feelings and I don't know why or how to fix it. I can laugh and joke and things but I don't feel genuinely happy. But, I'm not sad, angry, upset, or content either. I just feel slightly apathetic all the time.
