how do you know when you are stressed/what to do
Posted Saturday February 11 2012, 12:28 am
hi, i know that sounds silly, how can you not know you are stressed, but i've never really been that stressed out before. i mean yeah sure school sucked sometimes and stuff, but i've always been pretty laid back, so i've never really dealt with stess or sadness before.
well,a little bit ago, i had something traumatic happen to me. i really hate when people whine & such, so after about a week or so, i decided it was time to move on, they wouldn't want me acting this way.
so, i thought i've done that. but i think i might still actually be stressed about it.. i've been grinding my teeth when i sleep, having nightmares, irregular periods(& i've had my period for many years now, and its always been very spo...

I CANNOT STAY ON MY MEDICATION FOR DEPRESSION...
Posted Thursday February 9 2012, 6:54 am
It is too expensive but I am a mess without it. Emotionally, I have been a wreck for the last month... which is the longest I have been off of it in 11 years. I have no health insurance & no way of getting any for a long time from now. I enrolled in a program that takes so long to get approved for a decent price we can afford. Should I stick it out & make sure my regular shipments to my doctor arrive so I can stay on them consistently or you think it is best to take any samples my Doctor has , even if I run out again before my regular supply is shipped to him?
Thanks :)

Sudden relapse into; insecurity / stress / depression
Posted Sunday February 5 2012, 7:53 am
I physically feel an ache in my chest and a burning in the pit of my stomach, accompanied by nausea. I feel jittery (probably from lack of sleep.) I haven't been sleeping well, infact from friday night to last night Ive only had 2 hours of sleep. I'm having a bit of a nervous breakdown do to, having to explain to a unknown person on the bus about what gender I am and in their words, "why I go to extreme lengths to make it difficult to read." That bothered me the most, then I was called out to be a liar and mentally ill, as well as homosexual. Which are in no way remotely tied to the reasons I dress androgynous. I accept the fact that God made me as the sex he intended to. Is it so wrong to want to view myself as either male or fem...

Feeling isn't the same...
Posted Sunday February 5 2012, 2:31 am
Does watching porn at a young age desensitize me? Does it make me anti-social? Is it why I have trouble talking to girls? I went a week without it. I started to feel better. Then BAM, I relapse one night. I'm back to feeling horrible again.

What to do when you have awful nightmares... constantly?
Posted Friday February 3 2012, 12:17 am
A close family member recently passed away, and I've been.. Ok with it. I mean obviously at first it was awful. But, I'm pretty much back to the usual routine now. The problem is I've been having trouble sleeping. And when I do sleep, I have awful nightmares which makes me feel like I had no sleep. (whenever it rains or I have dreams in general in always very tired the next morning). Ive been staying up till like 230ish every night an waking up at 630. And then on Mondays and Fridays sometimes I catch up on sleep.
I wouldn't say I'm really depressed or anything. But I just don't know how to get rid of these nightmares. Very few are about recent incidents, but they are always very scary dreams. What do I do?

Is it normal to have grown up on the internet?
Posted Thursday February 2 2012, 3:19 am
I'm 18 now, and I've essentially grown up on the internet, since the age of 8. As a consequence, I have crappy social skills IRL.. I'm terrible at keeping friends IRL. I love meeting new people, and it's fine for the first couple of times, and then it's like people just lose interest in me or something, when I'm actually an interesting person. I don't know how to keep friends. The idea of inviting someone to my house gives me a lot of anxiety, because I don't think there's anything really interesting to do here but watch TV and go on the computer. I rarely get asked to hang at other people's homes, too. I just think it's very sad, because this wasn't the child/teenage experience I wanted, that I expected. Other people's lives seem to be fil...

What is wrong with my head?
Posted Tuesday January 31 2012, 7:08 pm
I'm M/16. Recently I've been starting to believe that I'm crazy. Not crazy as in jumping ans screaming crazy but by the way I think about myself & others. It's like I analyse things in my head in such a weird way. I'll think something, then I'll think back to myself like, "What the hell is wrong with you" Then I'll do something like judge someone in my head, then I'll get mad at myself for thinking that. THEN I'm always thinking about myself sometimes. Like, in my head, I'll call myself a cocky bastard or something bad. Then next minute I'll like forgive myself and blame others. Then that'll make me feel horrible again. Its like I'm stuck in a cycle. One minute I'm motivated to do something, then I'll lose interest or feel the...

I feel down :(
Posted Monday January 30 2012, 3:37 pm
Hi I'm 16/f.
I get down a fair bit... I'm the worst I've felt for a long time right now :( the best week or so have been really low for me...
I work about 25-30 hours a week at the moment in a physically demanding job with long and late/early hours. I am in sixth form 5 days a week too for about the same amount of hours. A typical day for me starts at 6.45am and after commuting to college for 9am I don't get home until 10.30pm ish. it's exhausting, and I know that it's not good for me, but I like keeping busy. I don't eat properly (ready meals at work!) but I wouldn't say I'm unhealthy and I am a perfect (if not under) weight.
One of the reasons I like my job is that when I am doing physical work...

Visions when i close my eyes?
Posted Saturday January 28 2012, 11:53 pm
It doesnt happen too often but sometimes when my eyes are closed and I'm not sleeping I see weird things. A few minutes ago I closed my eyes and I was laying in the same position was in but someones head was resting on my shoulder and when I looked at them, there eyes opened. I opened my eyes and my shoulder felt as if someone had just got off of it. It's so creepy, any advice? I'm very healthy and no mental stuff wrong with me...But my mom does call me special lol.

Do I have ADHD/ADD?
Posted Thursday January 26 2012, 7:29 pm
Most people can spot add or adhd easily but the difference with me is that I'm gifted. I attend a school just gifted students. I have read about adhd in gifted students and I have some of the symptoms. My grades have gone down...a lot. I used to be a straight A student now I have D's C's and maybe a B. One of the symptoms of it is that these adhd gifted students start to go down hill in around 7th grade and thats where I am now. I really want to know why because I want good grades! Desperatly! I had a test yesterday and I studied for 2 hours but I got a 57 on it! Whenever I bring up adhd with my parents they start to yell at me (no joke) and they go on FOREVER! My brother who is not gifted had adhd and they won't even consider it. Please help, thx.:)

Porn addiction
Posted Monday January 23 2012, 10:46 pm
I'm M/16. For the last two years I've been lonely & depressed. I've been watching porn almost everyday after school for a long time. I read some articles on porn addiction. They basically described my life & mind. Selfish, always lusting, etc. I truly believe that if I can get rid of this addiction, I'll feel a lot better. But its been so impossible for me to quit during the past two years. I want to so badly but I basically get possessed at night. I'm not the same person anymore either. I used to do well in school but not anymore. I barely have any girls to talk to, I'm always nervous and tense around them, and I just recently ruined it with a girl I liked. Is there still hope for me? I'm hoping that if I stop ASAP, I'll slowly hea...

I Want to Stop my Meds
Posted Sunday January 22 2012, 8:41 pm
I'm a fifteen year old female and i am currently taking celexa and seroquil for my severe depression. i was talking to someone else who also has depression and he says he doesn't take medications and only takes vitamins and exercises so that he doesn't feel that way anymore. is it possible for me to try this? i'm not fond of the idea of taking celexa and seroquil because of the side effects, such as defects in a child that i might have in the future, and i really want to have kids.
