I need some help: I quit drugs, but I think the drugs changed me.
Posted Saturday February 25 2012, 10:53 pm
So I have stopped doing drugs for two years now mainly because I noticed I was tearing my family apart and once I stopped I noticed I formed some anxiety or something maily social I think, I think it may been have been of the drugs because before that I was just fine confident had a good time now whenever there is company or I have to interact vocally with someone I become very panicy especially when I have to look them in the eyes. It's affected my last job and when I go to school it's horrible because i become very weird and akward. So what does this mean idk if I got this after I quit doing drugs but I never had it before. Can someone help me to over come this or know anything of this? If so thank you so much

Feeling sucidal often
Posted Saturday February 25 2012, 8:16 pm
I've talked about this before on here, but i seem to get the same answer everytime. "Go to therapy, take meds, switch your meds, talk to your doctor/psychiatrist/therapist about it, switch your doctor/psychiatrist/therapist", which I have already done all of this, none of which helped, obviously. Is there anything else I can do? It's either helped or i just end it.

Bulimic or not?
Posted Saturday February 25 2012, 1:00 pm
Hi. So recently I have started making myself throw up. The first time was this one night when I was really depressed about everything. It felt like I could no longer change anything about my life, so I wanted to change my appearance. At first nothing came out except clear saliva, but slowly my dinner began to make it's way back up. I have made myself throw up three times after this. This began about 2 weeks ago. Does this make me bulimic?

Alot going on in my life and sometimes I think I'm crazy. HELP!!
Posted Friday February 24 2012, 2:22 am
I am a 12 year old girl who lives in a small town i Alaska. My parents split up this previous summer but I still see my dad. I'm not depressed but I just don't know who I am. I dress fun with alot of different colors I act stupid but I'm not and I just don't know what's going on. I'm VERY lazy I am obsessed (and I mean OBSESSED) with Harry Potter and I like to write stories. I think I'm mental and my brother always jokes about it. I think this because I have a crush on a fictional character, and I'm not doing my best in school cause I'm daydreaming or writing about my relationship with that person. And when I think that I'm never going to be able to go to Hogwarts I feel so empty like I'll never be happy again. I also stay up till around mi...

Depression poems I wrote
Posted Thursday February 23 2012, 1:06 am
Hi instead of self harming myself I've been writing poetry :) would you mind reading some if my work and giving me feedback? I have a lot but here are my three favorite ones :)
This one is called " useless lies "
Today is the day
That I'll give up on trying
Today is the end
Of all the useless lying
Not wasting my tears
If they won't stop the bleeding
Today is the day that my heart will stop beating
My palms are sweaty my vision is blurred
I let out a scream that no one even heard
I blink back the tears I choke back a cry
Today is the end if all the useless lies
"Call me crazy"
some people call me crazy

I don't understand what's wrong with me
Posted Wednesday February 22 2012, 10:12 pm
I have a good life. I have a good future, friends family and yet... for sometime I keep thinking about death, about all the ways I can die. I think of the easiest ways, the quickest and I find myself wanting an almost painful end. I have a good life, but at the same time, I want to leave it. I want to leave my future, my friends, family, people, and I hate myself for it, yet I hate myself for wanting attention, for wanting someone to notice that the smile I have on is killing me and all I want to do is sleep and forget everything but I can't because I have school and friends and they don't know how to handle me when I'm like this, I know because when I've told them they become scared of me and it makes me hate myself for making feel that wa...

16/f
So recently I had my first panic attack during a blood test-anyone who's had one will know how scary they are.
I was wondering, because I have to have other blood tests soon if anyone has any good tips on overcoming panic attacks.
Any advice welcome-prefferably someone who has had a diagnosed panic attack before :)

I think I have some form of ADHD...! But I might be over thinking things?
Posted Wednesday February 22 2012, 6:11 am
I've been doing terrible academically lately. The biggest reason is attendance. I'm a freshman in college. I've always had punctuality problems. Every time I plan to shower and leave, I do a lot of things between thinking it and actually doing so. I fix my bag, write, read, or something completely random - the other day I was attempting to fix a stapler I broke! I can't seem to stop. Before I know it - 3 to 5 hours have passed. I don't study. I procrastinate obsessively. I even miss meals. It's like I have no concept of time whatsoever. I always think, "I'm going to study hard from now on." "I'm going to be more organized." "I'm going to do this early." but I never do. My things are a mess but I actually like t...

I want to help her, and I want to help me. How do I stop cutting my arm? She gave me this little metal sharp thing to cut myself; she uses hers too. She did it to help me because it is no sharper than a knife. Help!

I can't focus.
Posted Saturday February 18 2012, 10:48 am
I don't know if this is a concentration problem or a sleep one...
I can't focus on something no matter how hard I try. I always end up day dreaming or something. I used to be pretty good at math but now I'm making the silliest calculation errors and I can barely ever solve a problem on my own. I can't write because I make loads of spelling mistakes, mostly the same thing over and over. I keep forgetting everything, my mind's a mess.
I would consider meditating or something but I just don't have the time for that. My 10th grade finals are in two weeks and they're really important and I really can't afford to lose focus now!!

Posted Friday February 17 2012, 4:51 pm
If you have a dream about something and it happens later on what does that mean?
If you have a dream about something and it happens later on what does that mean?
Have you ever have a dream about something that already happened or something that happened the next day?
I've had dreams about things and it happened after I had the dream.
If that happens what does that mean? are you psychic if you dream about something that is gonna happen and like it does?
