Sometimes I get into this state of mind for no reason that its hard to describe but I will try my best to see if its understandable.
~A feeling i am being watched, not as protected but more like studied.
~Senses are a little bit abstracted. Facial movements seem intensified to where its scowling/grimacing, distorted.
~My senae of hearing is distorted and sound is less ambient and sounds more minor-tone.
Im not sure i would call it schizophrenic, my thoughts arent racing, I speak fast but I live in Michigan and we speak fast here, no one has yet told me a person doesnt exist.
I have had depression in the early and mid teen years.

I want to learn about the brainnn
Posted Thursday April 29 2010, 8:41 am
I wanna learn all about the brain!
About the corpus callosum, the cerebellum, the cerebral cortex.. all that stuff. What are some good websites with accurate info/pics/vocab, and detailed functions that have maybe helped some of you guys out?
Maybe even an area on the site to learn about the parts and then quizzes later on to take to make the info stick in my mind better.
thanks!

I am not happy with myself and fear of lossing my family because of it .
Posted Saturday April 17 2010, 8:50 pm
I have a sadness in my heart and I don't know why I cant seem to feel more positive about myself. I wanna be a great mother to my children but fear I am not strong enough to endure all. I love them more than anything in the whole world but that just isn't enough I fear. I don't want to fail them as a mother, I want to be a better person for my partner and I feel lost because I am not happy with myself so how can I make someone else happy. I feel he does not want me anymore. I feel so judged and hate it. I am tired of being so anxious about everything I want peace of mind. Sometimes I want to just live in a bubble and never leave. Why do I feel this way? What is wrong with me? What are steps to improve myself for my family.I have no insura...

Getting over a near abduction
Posted Friday April 16 2010, 11:50 pm
Last summer at the end of June I was walking home when a strange black car going down a busy street honked at me, turned around, and drove beside me halfway down my own street. When I stopped to get a better look the window road down and a man popped his head out to tell me to get into the car. I think I was in such a state of shock that I became numb, I usually break down in minor situations, and I just said no and continued walking. I finally started running and looked back to find him gone. I called the police later thatday, after calling my mother because I was still in a shock, and didn't hear back for a week. Turns out the same man tried to grab a 6 year old up the street. I was fine back then, able to laugh it off as the police drove...

I am so stupid!
Posted Tuesday April 13 2010, 8:22 pm
This has been a busy week for me and today I got ready to go for dinner, on the wrong day! I’m a hard working busy high school student and usually I turn down these things but I was like, “Hey why not! I’m anti-social and for once I’m going to give it a try.” But things didn’t turn out as planned and I couldn't get a drive home at all and spent like a long time getting dressed up! A nice lady working at the hotel offered to drive me home.
I was stressing for school and I have these entire deadline to meet this week and on the invite I thought it said today Tuesday but it's actually next week Tuesday and I just feel ashamed and embarrassed.
I'm forever thankful of the lady that offered to drive me ho...

dream interpretation (yeah, another one. bear with me)
Posted Saturday April 10 2010, 10:17 pm
(this is not the dream, this is just an explanation) so my friend at school, R, and my other friend J are going out. we're all friends, but R recently went to rehab and so its just been me and J hanging out most of the time. also, i went through a bad breakup recently, so that might have something to do with this, if that helps.
this is the dream:
J and i went on vacation with my family. we were in a pretty messy room that was connected to a bathroom, without a door. there was all this junk everywhere. i think we were somewhere in the woods, in a cabin. anyways, my parents were downstairs along with my sister. it was kinda dark outside, and there were no lights on the inside. J and i start messing around, like ...

why do i hate life?
Posted Friday April 9 2010, 10:30 pm
18/male
I don't mean my own life as in kill myself, but just hate the fact that we exist. I don't really know why i feel this way, but i've felt myself be come more distant and generally happier if nobody is around and i am alone... I had become preoccupied with thoughts on existence and i figured its a fucked up joke. I also started cutting myself for what seems to me to be for no real reason. I never really feel connected to anyone and even though my family loves me i feel incapable of loving them back. Also i find everything we do in life ironic and stupid... am i insane?...Is this normal for a teen(except the cutting part)?

Anger Issues
Posted Thursday April 8 2010, 5:04 pm
Lately my spiritual family and I have been rocked to the core do to betrayal, and seeing how the people who have betrayed us has been verbally hurting the ones I love and I snapped and I had hacked into their site to send everyone a message explaining what we had to say since they have given us no opportunities. I have been fighting with these traitors and at night some times i even find myself so upset that I am vomiting and having nosebleeds. I have been eating more than usual.
Now It is like I can only feel anger or disgust. Ive hidden this from the other social aspects of my life simply because I do not want people who have no knowledge of the basics of what i do, yet those who assume my religious practices are evil.

Can depression come back?
Posted Wednesday April 7 2010, 7:17 pm
17/f. I was really depressed when I was younger, I considered killing myself multiple times and running away, but if course I did not and eventually got over it. I never told anyone and no one ever knew. Anyway, then when I was 16, I'm not really sure I was depressed but I honestly cAn't remember one thing from my sophmore year, it was all just a blur. Now, for the past month I've been sad a lot and I cry really really easily. So I was wondering can depression come back?

Making bold actions
Posted Monday April 5 2010, 5:34 pm
Well recently my circle of friends have been splitting up bc of hidden resentment, one person has taken advantage on the rebound.
Now i have a few things i can say but its a bold action...most of my friends are passive and pessimistic...and thats usually the way I am.
I might make some people mad and I might be missing a few points, and most people are stubborn...but I made an oath to restore the groups former glory, that I would pull my hair over this until i go bald.
I want to fix a wrong and bring back this strong familial bond..
Im not sure if boldness is a better approach if people get upset but some advice in this general situation please?

Giving up.
Posted Saturday April 3 2010, 5:37 am
My life has hit rock bottom. I have no hope left for myself. This year has been one of the worst years I have faced in the 20 years of my life. My college grades are anything but good. My dog passed away last month. My boyfriend of 8 months who I love, is hurt because i lied to him that i was a virgin. He won't even talk to me properly. I have absolutely no friends who I can talk to about anything. I want to end my life. I just cant continue living in pain each day with no one around to take care of me or just hold me and say that "It's gonna be okay". I try to optimistic but I'm just too lonely. What do I do?

OCD or common sense? raw meat
Posted Thursday April 1 2010, 12:28 pm
I know I have a bad case of OCD, but some things just seem like common sense to me, which is a major factor of this "Illness".
Today, I am so worried, my partner cooked raw meat (pork) for his dinner, he put the empty packet in a carrier bag which was hooked on the cutterly drawer, and then left the bag there
He washed his hands after disposing the packet into the bag.
Then he touched the handle of the bag to open it and put some more rubbish into it, then WITHOUT washing his hands he opened the drawer and got a knife out.
This may seem fickle to others but I cannot stop thinking about this and i'm so conviced there i s now raw meat germs on the knives in the cuttlery dra...

Bottling up emotions or feelings?

why is important for us to accept and feel the emotion we are feeling? why is bad to be in denial or try to fight it? is it true that if we keep bottling up emotions or feelings we won't really notice the things around us?

Molested as a child, and just realized it
Posted Monday March 29 2010, 6:06 pm
I was molested when I was between 6-8 years old. It's funny in a sick way because I can't even remember how old I actually way, I can't remember the names of the two boys, I can hardly even remember the sex. I remember the fear so vividly that my heart's racing as Im'm typing this. It's also funny because a decade passed where I didn't feel anything about what happened. I never cried about it, talked about it, I barely entertained the thought of it, not because it was painful but because it was like an errant thought. It was like losing your tooth, just a part of life. I actually feel immensely stupid now when I think of all the effects of that incident that I never recognized to have been caused by that. Until a couple days ago, I never ev...
