Slitting my wrists
Posted Wednesday April 20 2011, 7:56 pm
Well, I have a serious problem! I keep slitting my wrists to relieve my distress and anger and stress and pain and to get away from life. And every time I do, I faint. I have a friend who cuts herself too and she always tells me not to cut myself and that it will get me nowhere in life. Can you please help me and her with that? By the way, I'm thirteen and she's fourteen.

Bad feeling: Could birth control pills be changing my mood?
Posted Tuesday April 19 2011, 9:30 pm
16/f
recently, I've been feeling kind of down and I get kind of aggravated easily. I've even started snapping at people, and if you knew me, you'd know that I rarely do that. In fact, I'm a reserved person and prefer to do things on my own and I like being alone a good portion of the time too, sitting in front of my computer writing and watching random things. Well, I'm wondering if maybe it's the birth control pills I'm on? But I've been on those for a month now and I just started to feel kind of irritable and lousy in general. It started maybe yesterday or earlier today?
It's just the pills, right? Or maybe I'm just really in a bad mood? I feel like I just want to be completely left alone, I don't even want to talk t...

disgusted & possibly depressed
Posted Monday April 18 2011, 6:37 pm
I am a young single mother of a 13 month old, looking for a job, and living with my parents. I am stuck in the house most of the time with little to no help (besides financial support which I am completely appreciative of) from anyone else. I am naturally a people person, but now im usually alone unless I get to go out once or twice on the weekend.
I know I'm lucky to be taken care of by my parents, but for the past month I've been starting to feel depressed. Im turning to alcohol more (when im out, not around the baby), been breaking out from stress, been sad & guilty feeling, and feeling like I could break down at any moment. I dont feel like myself.
Then, friday night, I drank way too much to the point of not rememberi...

i live at home with my parents. i am really unmotivated i watch porn a lot. at night i make out with my pillow and pretend it's a guy and have sex with him. i know that's weird and i feel weird thinking about it. when my mom calls me i lie to her and she knows when i do. my parents have spoiled me rotten so i guess that's why i am messed up, and they don't i watch porn, because i delete the history. i have an older brother who is probably the only normal one in my family. i am not close to my parents, we fight a lot. i have a bad attitude, and my parents yell at me. my attitude has gotten a little better. my therapist says because they were born in India and i was born here, the cultures are different so it's hard to get along ...

Turning sixteen is a big deal. So why do I feel so unprepared?
Posted Sunday April 17 2011, 10:59 am
I am turning sixteen on Friday. I'm very excited, but I am also afraid. I feel so unprepared. I feel like everyone will expect more from me and I won't be what they want. I feel like I'm missing out on life. I feel like I won't live up to what I want.
I feel like I haven't developed the mind set and experience to become sixteen. I feel like I'm stupid sometimes because I don't have the attitude to be sixteen. My mom complains how I lack in attitude and skill. She complains that I am so scared of everything and unwilling to take risks. Sometimes I feel like she's right.
Is the mixed feeling of sixteen normal at this age or am I just over thinking?

very long.. but it is important to get the full story.

My boyfriend of 6 months and I just broke up the other night. When we first got into a relationship in November, it lasted only a few weeks. I knew he had some depression issues, and anxiety issues, but so do I... before he broke up with me he got extremely distant, almost unresponsive towards me when I tried to talk to him casually, even though he'd initiate the conversations.
Anyway, after having sex for the first time with each other, he became slightly distant and eventually sorta broke it off.. I was obviously angered, hurt, confused.. all of that. He was confused about if he wanted to be with me or not, but he didn't come out and say it. I asked him whats been wrong, and he said "I don't know. Anything anymore." I res...

Anxiety problems...any suggestions?
Posted Wednesday April 13 2011, 8:50 pm
Hey everyone, 23/f here.
Okay, so I'm trying to be open to all suggestions as far as treating/managing/dealing with this is concerned. I've been against medicating myself for this, as I'm already on a bunch of meds for other stuff, but I'm starting to struggle more.
I have undiagnosed and untreated general anxiety disorder, and PTSD. It's starting to get in the way of my job. My coworkers are therapists and other wonderful people, so they understand when I ask them to stay five feet away from me at all times, but I shouldn't have to. I don't want them to feel like I'm pushing them away - they're like a second family to me.
I've always kind of had some anxiety, nothing too bad, but it's gotten much wors...

soo i'm kinda stuck. I'm not really sure how to explain this. I'm considered catholic. But at the same time, i'm not really sure if I believe in catholicism. My family and I celebrate catholic holidays like christmas and easter. Its a tradition blah blah blah but i'm not like super religious about it. I don't go to church. like ever. the last time i went to church was maybe 7 years ago for christmas. My friends talk about the bible, about mary and jesus and his disciples. But in all honesty... It makes no sense to me. I really have no idea how to explain this haha. I believe in it.. but not that much. Like I believe there is a god, and there was a jesus. But i'm not like super duper religious, like I don't read the bible. I don't think I ha...

Mental help for one who has schizophrenic paranoia, and high levels of anxiety?
Posted Tuesday April 12 2011, 12:57 pm
i don't know if this is the right place to ask, because its a relationship and a mental health question. i'll make it quick.
my girlfriend and i have been together for 2 years now and i love her and i want to be with her til the day i die. she has been going to counseling seeking the right help and found it. she has schizophrenic paranoia, and high levels of anxiety (though it only "activates" with other people, shes never had any bad outbursts or anything with me) they started her on seroquel (i believe that's what the medication is called) to help stabilize her. the problem is, its the only medication that helps her, but the medicine makes it to wear she can't work to hard (so pretty much she can't get a job) or e...

I am emo, and I have had thoughts of killing myself. Over a potential rumor
Posted Monday April 11 2011, 1:20 am
14/female
I am emo, and recently, a weird kid at my school asked me to give him a blowjob. He said that if i didnt go out with him that he would kill himself. He said that if I don't give him a blowjob, he will tell the whole school sexual lies about me.
Before I knew he existed, I was at my friends house when he showed up. My friend left the room for like an hour. He touched me, and I kept saying stop, and he knows that it was wrong
He even made a fake Facebook account as a fake person so that he could talk to me. I did not/don't want anything to do with him. On facebook on his fake profile he apologized. I believed him.
I dont know what to do. I just want to kill myself so that it all ...

Is it naive to be positive, and realistic to be negative?
Posted Monday April 4 2011, 7:22 pm
I didn't realize I was such a negative person. But last year was the worst year of my life, and things don't seem to be getting much better this year. I started seeing a therapist.. and idk. School just gets worse and worse. I haven't had a great time at school since elementary school, tbh. Middle school was bad, and high school has been worse. I really want to get into the University of Chicago and now I'm even worried about getting into that.. and I keep feeling angry with myself for not doing as good in high school (I'm a junior) cause it's going to be very hard for me to be accepted there. It just seems like even when I try to do things 110% they still can't happen, so why really try you know? I know other people have failed and succeed...

Why do I feel like I look like sh** until I look in a mirror?
Posted Friday April 1 2011, 4:03 am
I'm constantly suprised that I actually look good.. like in all honesty. But then I seem to forget and feel self conscious and like I'm ugly or something.. fu390urqprfpcaspfka. i guess i have low self esteem now but idk. What can I do about it? It's even been hard for me to accept compliments sometimes. I don't want to be cocky, and I really don't like cocky people. I see beautiful traits in all people, but idk.. I guess I think a lot of negative thoughts like people are thinking about me in a negative way and ugh.

I have found that i can't feel anything. Why is that?
Posted Wednesday March 30 2011, 8:33 pm
I read the earlier posts on emotionlessness and saw that some of the things put down were similar to what I'm going through. Sometimes, I find my self crying with out actually knowing why. I put on a mask everyday to play that body I walk around in. I tred explaining it to my mom but it took a while. It's sort of like never being able to be hurt by anything but then,... never being able to be truly happy. I can't remember the last time I have felt happy and I'm afraid that I never had that emotion in the first place. What if I never know what it feels like to be happy. I want my emotions back and there may be a few reasons why I don't have them. My life hasn't been all fun and games as my outward mask feigns it was. I had a father who negle...

I Have A Promblem With Cutting.
Posted Wednesday March 30 2011, 11:09 am
I'm not really sure if i put this in the correct category, but anyways. I am 16 years old and ever since i was about 11 i used cutting as a way to take control of stuff that is happening in my life. It has been used from the death of loved ones,boyfriend issues, friendship issues, school problems, cancer of my youngest brother and even sometimes when i get too happy. I always hide the cuts, and usually cut over scars that i already have made. A close friend of mine was recently sent to a special hospital for cutting and that made me realize that i have a BIG problem. I just didn't know what else to do so PLEASE help me!
