If you knew you were going to die?
Posted Tuesday August 10 2010, 7:20 pm
What would you tell someone who knows in advance how much time they have left to live?
Like if this person knew they wouldn't make it to their next birthday or to thi Christmas?
Should they self-medicate with drugs or alcohol to ease the pain?

Anxiety.
Posted Monday August 9 2010, 9:53 pm
I think I have anxiety issues. I will list some things to help you decide. I think alot about my future, what I'm going to do, what I'm going to become and sometimes I think to much about it and I realize I have no clue what I want to do and I'd cry because I think I am going to get nowhere in life, sometimes I get mad at myself for being three pounds over my normal weight. But I don't really know what anxiety attacks are which is the reason I am asking this question, to see if someone can explain to the fullest amount what they are. What the anxiety attacks are, uh, so famous people you know of that has them and how it's affecting their life (I only say famous because I would know them, as well. "Oh, my best bud Jimmy.."

I can't think straight ever.
Posted Thursday August 5 2010, 3:33 pm
14/f
I have a hard time explaining myself. I can NEVER find the right words. It's almost like I can't think on my feet.. I more recently can't remember some semi-unimportant things like movie titles of movies I saw or when 'whatever' happened like dates. This morning I woke up and had a hard time remembering if I took a shower the night before. I don't think it's anything extremely serious. You know how when you call your friend by the wrong name? I do that almost every time and it's like that with other things too like just when we are talking.. I just can't think and it's very hard to speak and make sense.
I'm sorry this probably sounds stupid and doesn't make sense but I can't find the right words to explain...

happy and depressed
Posted Wednesday August 4 2010, 2:50 am
I dont know if any of you know about "The Secret", a film about happiness, but I was a strong advocator and supported of the belief that we all need to be happy. Ever since 10th grade I have been a happy, upbeat, smiling person. Nothing phased me, I gave lots of advice here to others about happiness.
That was then. Now, I am about to start college at a great university, Ive already met so many people its all exciting. Yet I am so utterly stressed and miserable. I don't understand why! Actually, I do... but I dont know what to do about it.
See the thing is, I used to date this guy last year, we were together for 6 months, I loved him but wasnt head over heels or anything. We broke up june last year....

Do you hide your tears by laughing? Why do people say it is bad?
Posted Wednesday August 4 2010, 12:22 am
Alright, I put this in the category mainly because it is dealing with the health of your mental thoughts and feelings. I have been a fan of All Time Low for quite a while now, maybe 3 years. I have known for again, quite a while about Alex's brother. I have seen that Alex does sing Lullabies live sometimes and yes, he gets emotional, if he didn't, I would think something is wrong. But most people comment "I really wish he would show his real emotions. He tries to hide them so much by laughing and joking around. A defense mechanism." I have come to realize, I do this too. My great grandmother had passed 2 years ago and yet I miss her so dearly, I am not one to cry only when things get super messy, my mom says I am like a guy when i...

Possibly sexually abused?
Posted Wednesday July 28 2010, 12:01 pm
16/f. me and my sister used to play "games" in the shower when we were little (I was like 10 or 11) but people told us it was what all the little girls do. I don't want to get in to detail just because it makes me sick to my stomach but we used to touch down there vvv and stuff like that. Is that considered being sexually abused? If so, is it my fault since I'm the older one out of the two of us? I barely realized it was wrong last year when I learned all about sex. I started doing drugs to try to forget about it but i feel like I'm going insane and I just need help. Anything else that you might think will be useful will be highly appreciated.

feeling alone
Posted Sunday July 25 2010, 11:40 pm
Hi, for starters I am a female of age 17. Over the past few months I think I have gone into depression. I am very unhappy with my life and I try to stay positive. I feel miserable, I was once such a strong girl. I am constantly brought down by another female, and I'm not the type of person to get involved in drama. I despise it, and the only reason why she brings me down is because she likes my ex boyfriend. Which kind of she was one of the reasons why I had to let go, because I can't deal with her flirting with him, etc. I have no one to talk to about feeling down because I don't want it to be just another guy story. I want to let go of all this baggage, but I can't because I am constantly talked about. My question here is what makes you h...
