Self Mutilation of Cutting
Posted Thursday November 18 2010, 9:47 pm
For Biology class, we have to pick ANY book relating to biology and write a book report on it. I'm not a cutter but I thought this would be intersting to present.
But my orginal book was The Hisotry of Mono (can't recall full name) and he allowed that one so I didn't tell him of this one. It's pretty simple and FAQ by Teens about it too so how can I convince him that it has to do with Biology? It's mroe of just...why they do it, ways of doing it, and how to stop.

Posted Tuesday November 16 2010, 10:15 pm
19/f. Hey so I've posted a few questions regarding my health like my weight and being tired all the time.

Out of Body Experiences
Posted Sunday November 14 2010, 6:31 pm
This might sound odd, but like 2 months ago I smoked marijuana for like the 3rd time and I think it was laced because I tripped out and hallucinated and thought I was dying. Then almost a month later I had a reoccuring flashback that I was dying and it was the same feeling. I literally felt out of my body and that I was dying and leaving my body both times. Ever since then I've had continuous out of body experiences where I just receive weird feelings and they are almost impossible to explain. They say it's from a panic disorder possibly, but it's nothing like that, it's just so unexplainable. Now, all I can think about is death and afterlife. It's a terrible feeling when it's happening because I'm horrified. It's even awoken me multiple ti...

Bipolar disorder
Posted Tuesday November 9 2010, 7:01 am
I am suffering from bipolar disorder. I cannot concentrate on one thing. Because at one moment i feel that it is a very good thing and i get very much interested and the next minute i get bored from that thing and get least interested in that thing. I want to stop that task at that time and want to do something different. The same thing happens with that task also and evenually i keep bouncing from one task to the other, be it studies or any other thing, any thought. It goes with money, girls, internet, everything. For example, At once i get interested in making money, i make many plans of making money, read as many articles as i can, and am very very interested. Then after few minutes i get bored and come to the conclusion that making mone...

Special treatment?
Posted Monday November 8 2010, 8:03 pm
So, I'm not officially diagnosed. My referral for a psychiatrist is still running in but for a while now I've been goign to counselling for my depression and anxiety problems.
BUT, it's like the clinical place right? So the latest appointment time I can have is at 3:15pm, which is when school is done. Do the math, that a lot of days signing out once every week, not to mention I get docked as one missed class even though I leave like half of class.
So I was wondering, do you think that there's any way I get can special leave? I mean, it's one of my rights, isnt' it? Shouldn't I be able to leave for a legitement mental problem (which in my opinion, counts as a dissability), without going to get kicked out of scho...

Bipolar Disorder
Posted Sunday November 7 2010, 8:33 pm
Hey there,
Well this may seem a bit silly, but I was wondering if I could perhaps be bipolar? My friends and family have "jokingly" mentioned that I might be.... Here are some of my "symptoms". I get really happy and excited for no reason and then other times I get into this mood, when I dont want to talk to anyone; I get so irratable and mean to everyone for no reason. I also get depresed randomly for a whole day. Then the next day Im REALLY REALLY happy and excited. This cycle constantly repeats itself. Sometimes I get so excited that I cant even sleep. I just lie awake daydreaming. My friends also pointed out to me that I dont have "controll" over my emotions. I get excited when I should be sad and vice versa.
What do you think?

Sleepless
Posted Tuesday November 2 2010, 10:58 am
I love sleeping, I sleep ALOT. At least I need to sleep 12 hours a day and sometimes i sleep more.
I never wake up because of a nightmare or such. I am also a very heavy sleeper.
But its been more than a week, I havnt been able to sleep well. Like I sleep but i'd wake up 7 or more times in my bed because of different nightmares i am having.
no light and not any noise, my room is perfect for sleeping.
Why is that happening to me? I love sleeping and the nightmares suck. Like 7 different dreams, and its been going on for more than a week.
HELP!!

What do I do now: I'm paralysed by my own apathy
Posted Monday November 1 2010, 10:44 am
I have a pritty complex problem. Jist is i'm 22, female and live in the UK, yet have no idea where to go from here. When I was 15 i was diagnosed with depression and OCD and have been struggling with it ever since. I was quite bright and really wanted to go to uni, though I could never make my mind up what I wanted to do and bcos of my depression and OCD I found it impossible to keep up with my studies or be on time for anything so I dropped out. Whenever I went to seek medical help, I was put on a waiting list and finally got appointments which I could never then make on time so they kept discharging me and I never got help. I dropped out of education and have since had a few dead end minimum wage jobs which I have consequently been sacked...

Great Mood Swing
Posted Thursday October 28 2010, 6:45 am
Sometimes i think and get to a conclusion or a thought. Then, i think that the thought which i got was a very great thought. I have done a very great deed. Then, the other moment, i think that what i thought was not such a great thing. I did not make a great achievement. At once i get very much interested in a thing and the next moment i get bored as bored could be. There's a lot of mood swing going in. Is it a disorder? What can i do to cure it?

My story is too long to fit in this message, so I can't explain the reasons WHY I've fallen into this, but I can describe where "this" is. What this is.

I can't stop cutting....
Posted Monday October 25 2010, 8:18 am
When I was in 8th grade, there were...issues that I couldn't handle on my own. That was when I started cutting. I quit after a couple of months, and I haven't had a single urge since. But lately, my step-mom and I have been getting into more and more fights. The fights have me getting majorly agitated, and the urge keeps cropping up. For the most part, I can find a friend to distract me long enough to pass the urge. Unfortunately, there are times when that isn't much of an option. No matter how hard I try during these spouts, I always end up cutting. I need help, but I can't go to my parents. I'm a senior, and I can't screw up. Not in their eyes, or else it's off to the Looney Bin for me. Advice, please?

i feel like i cant remember anything
Posted Sunday October 24 2010, 4:29 pm
Lately i've felt like my mind has been foggy. I forget to do things i normally wouldnt forget to do or i have trouble remember things. I'm a 19 year old female and i'm not currently in school anymore and i just work. I have to take a state certified test for work and i'm trying to study and prepare but i feel like i cant remember anything. It started happening like 3 weeks ago. For example today they're talking about things that we covered already in previous sessions and i barely remember. I heard that taking a certain vitamin can help with that. My mind has just been "off" lately. I'm one of the supervisor at a restaurant and i just feel like i cant focus. Any suggestions? Thanks
