depression
Posted Saturday February 27 2010, 3:05 pm
This is it. My depression this year has doubled (if that's even possible) and I really need to see my doctor about it, only that I don't like my doctor because I think that he is a dick. And most medications I've heard of requires you to be 18 and I'm only 16. I know that excercising is an alternatives but I don't have time to go out (and I'm not even loud to). I'm always busy with school work but when I'm out I tae alternatives like stairs, etc.
I don't know what I'm asking for, maybe on if you think I should talk to my doctor about it anyways. It's really hard for me to talk about because I start welling up and crying (like I am now), but I'm not talking. But if I had to, I don't think anything would come out.

memory, possible agoraphobia, stress, sleep paralysis
Posted Saturday February 27 2010, 2:53 pm
I was just wondering if this was normal behavior for most people because I do not think it is. I have severe memory issues (I'm only 24). I forget things very easily and lack "memories." I do not remember hardly any of my childhood, high school or even college anymore. I forget people easily too, my boyfriend has been in jail for one in a half months and I was forgetting him until I talked to him over the phone recently.
I fear leaving my home now, driving a car makes my heart race and putting gas in my tank makes me shake uncontrollably. I feel so useless.
I have a hard time working anymore (worked since 18) I lose a lot of weight and throw up most everything I eat for about a month and it recurs ran...

Addicted to shoplifting. How to stop shoplifting from stores!
Posted Friday February 26 2010, 5:43 am
Ok, this is terrible but I need HELP!
I've been shoplifting for a little over two years now. I've taken A LOT of stuff. I take little things or big things--it doesn't really matter as long as I leave with something I should have purchased! It's pathetic sometimes because I'll steal something I really don't need or end up not even using. I don't know why I just keep doing it. It feels like I'm compelled to when I'm inside a store. I'll check the entire store out like I'm really shopping (I'll even try clothes on that I'm not even interested in) but the truth is that I'm scouting out my next steal and finding the "easy target" and/or "easy location" in the store.
I don't want to steal fr...

Dealing with grief
Posted Sunday February 21 2010, 9:50 am
A close relative ended her life a few months ago after struggling with chronic pain and depression.
Losing her was one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with in my sixteen years of life.
I find myself a little lost at times, and feel as though there's no one I can really talk to about it.
Every now and then, I'll think that I'm okay, that everything's fine, but it's not. I go back to four months ago, that feeling of hopelessness and I just break down again and cry. I cry for my cousin, and I cry for the rest of her family that she left behind.
But I have to cry in secret. I feel ridiculous. Why?
Is it strange of me to still feel like this after four months? I feel like my ...

Passion
Posted Thursday February 18 2010, 8:23 pm
I don't know if this is in the right category or not but it seemed closest to what I'm feeling. Sorry if this is long. Okay, as everybody knows the Olympics are on and I have been watching. Seeing every Olympian out there doing what they love to do, hearing the grueling practices they go through of 2 hours of running and 12 hours of just practicing techniques everyday makes me have a new found respect for them but it also got me thinking. Is it weird that I don't have a passion for something? I know that may sound weird but I don't have something that I come home to and say like "I'll be out doing __ for the rest of the night!" or when I don't do it for a while I start to miss it. I have been watching videos of Shaun White and jus...

symptoms of depression showing, what's next?
Posted Wednesday February 17 2010, 11:47 pm
My girlfriend and I both believe she has the symptoms of depression. Her sleeping schedule can never remain stable and she typically sleeps an average of 14 hours a day, more or less. She's home a lot since she's currently unemployed and has had no luck with jobs she's applied for. She doesn't really have any friends locally since she moved here a year ago. She basically just has me and my family. I've been trying my best to help her, but being the only one working, my time during the day is limited too.
What makes matters worse is, i'm making barely enough to make ends meet and neither of us have health insurance. I've looked up local clinics and plan on calling in the next couple of days to see if we can get any free servic...

How to get rid of a sexual fetish, fantasy, desire, or kink?
Posted Wednesday February 17 2010, 6:26 pm
I have a very odd, rather embarrassing, sexual fetish. I have always been "into" this sort of thing and all of my fantasies and sexual thoughts revolve around the fetish itself. I really don't want to have this sexual fetish any more though.
I have searched online on how to get rid of a particular fantasy or sexual fetish and all I can find is to embrace it. All of the material is the same thing: Embrace your sexuality, embrace your sexual differences, be unique and enjoy your sexual desires and kinks, fulfill your sexual fantasies, etc. That's not what I want.
How do I get rid of this odd sexual desire though?
Like I said, it really isn't common so it isn't like I can find frien...

I don't know whats going on with me
Posted Monday February 15 2010, 1:36 pm
15/f
So I really don't know whats wrong with me. I've been cutting since I was in 8th grade. So about 3 years. My parents found out last summer and I got in so much trouble and I got everything taken from me and couldn't go anywhere for the whole summer. During the school year my friend got me to talk to a counselor. When they called my parents I got in trouble again but they didn't want to get me help or whatever because they didn't want anyone to convince me that I'm crazy.
But that's not what I'm asking about. Just stating that to know that I have talked to people.
My friend had the same problem but she got help and was diagnosed with depression. She said I'm probably the same. But I'm not totally su...

sick from anxiety/sleep deprivation?
Posted Thursday February 11 2010, 11:11 am
lately, i've been missing a LOT of school because every time i wake up for it im extremly sick to my stomach, like i'm going to throw up. i have a feeling that its either from anxiety or lack of sleep the night before, both which can make me sick. anyways i have school in a couple of days and im freaking out, i cant afford to miss anymore but im so afraid i'm gonna be too sick and freaked out to go. and no, i am not pregnant or any other kind of phsyically ill as far as i know.
my question is, does this happen to anyone else? and is there any way i can help it? sleeping pills dont usually help me so its pretty hard to get a good nights rest, and i dont know how to fight the anxiety even though im on Buspar for it.
anything will be reassuring, thanks.

I feel so alone.
Posted Friday February 5 2010, 6:09 pm
I just feel so alone. I feel lonely, depressed, empty, lost. I feel like I'm worthless. I feel like I have nothing to live for and that I'm not special to anybody. Even with my friends, I just feel so empty. It hurts so badly. I find myself staring into space with tears in my eyes and typing things like "i'm so alone" or "it hurts" into Google. I lost interest in things I usually love to do, like play videogames and draw and read. I'm blaming myself for things that I know aren't my fault. I have trouble sleeping. I wake up each day with nothing to look forward to. It's like I'm walking on a treadmill. I'm tired and exasperated. I feel like there's a demon clawing and scraping away every bit of dignity and peace I have. I...

Weird Obsession
Posted Thursday February 4 2010, 4:41 am
I am 48 years old & have a 22 year old daughter. A couple of months ago, she met a guy named Paul (my fav name, by the way) through friends. They met up 2x with others & 1x alone. They just went to a bar and talked and back to his house. She told me he was a bit boring and not aggressive enough for her - he didn't even kiss her. I started obsessing about this guy for some reason and wanted them to date, but I don't know why - especially since she wasn't into him. The next month, they texted and talked on the phone alot and made plans to go out Jan 8th. She told me he never called her & I didn't believe her because of his constant attention. By the way, I found his pic on Facebook and he was so cute and her type - tall, d...
