I just woke up from the SCARIEST dream I've ever had in my life!?
Posted Monday January 25 2010, 4:36 am
I haven't had a nightmare in like years I think! But this dream I can remember vividly. I was supposed to wake up like 2-3 hours ago because I have work to finish, but I decided to snooze a little and then the dream came. First I looked into the driveway at my house and my mom's car was there. next second I look and some mysterious blue jeep has appeared! I tell my dad (who isn't even home right now.. he's in Texas) and he opens the door and talks to the guy to give our car back.. I never saw this guy, btw. I think I can scarcely recall him backing out with my mom's car though. Anyways, so I start going towards the basement.. and my dad keeps talking to the guy to give back our car. I see my dad start to back away and is just like "oka...

Inadequacy
Posted Saturday January 23 2010, 11:11 pm
I don't know why, but I always feel inadequate in front of my friends. I always look at myself and tell myself that I do have substance, but I feel that I come short in front of people. I never feel that I'm smart enough, successful enough, lucky enough, happy enough, or even pretty enough. I've had this inferiority complex for as long as I can remember, and although I try to overcome it by positive self talk or exercise, the feelings keep coming back. Whenever I try to have an optimistic outlook for the future, something negative happens. It's like happiness isn't meant to be for me. A person can be persistent for so long, and I do know that some people have to work harder than others, but I'm afraid my work will not pay off. There i...

I've been crying for no reason.

15/f
And lately I've realized that've been crying a lot lately. And over the stupidest things and sometimes for nothing at all. I don't know if it could be my period. I had that a week ago and I'm done. So could there be something wrong with me? I dont know I'm just scared about it. I've been really moody around my friends and family lately. I've been bashing myself and I want it all to stop. Is there something wrong with me?

Making Friends
Posted Wednesday January 20 2010, 9:11 pm
Hi I'm 19 year old female and I'm in my second semester of college. I have a great boyfriend and I was talking to him today. And well he has a lot of friends and is very out going and I'm the complete opposite. And we were talking and I was trying to explain to him why I don't have hardly any friends. When I walk into a room I automatically think that people are judging me. I don't start talking to strangers unless I have known them for a while. I feel uncomfortable when I am around a bunch of people I don't know. I know it sounds like I'm just shy. But i don't understand why I get so scared and nervous and feel like people are practically out to get me. I was just wondering if maybe it was possible that I am just over reacting or if something is maybe wrong. Thank you for your time!

Depression- I need tips.
Posted Friday January 15 2010, 5:15 pm
Okay. My best friend won't answer her phone right now and I'm gonna do what this site is intended for- vent! I don't really feel like re-explaining the motive behind this question, so for any-one who's reading this and is confused, just read my first question and you'll understand. I have a little bit more than 9 months before I'm legal and can get my own prescription without a parent's consent. 9 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you dont know me, but I don't like pain in any form or fashion. And mental pain is one of those things that I've learned to despise because of what it brought me time and time again. Right now, I'm tired and I don't feel like fighting. I have no reason to feel depressed, and I know its only going to get worse. I can't le...

Depression/drug use
Posted Thursday January 14 2010, 12:37 am
I've been depressed as long as I can remember. Sure, there are some times when I'm not as horribly upset with life as others, infact sometimes I'm happy. But I always fall back into my slump. I've struggled with cutting, and yes I do feel that cutting has made me even more depressed in the long run. I'm working on that, and I haven't cut since I think September.
Part of my depression comes from the fact that I cannot be social unless I'm under the influence of something, anything. Alcohol, Marijuana, and one time Oxycotton have allowed me to be more social in environments where I don't feel comfortable. When I go places I don't know a lot of people, I drink ONLY because it's social.. I don't really do it cause I enjoy being drunk. I ...

Worry/anxiety over a relationship
Posted Wednesday January 13 2010, 7:29 pm
18/m in college
I recently broke up with my girlfriend. The issue was that about 4 months ago for whatever reason I started to worry about my future with her. We were long-distance and it had been about 3 months since our last visit and I think that I was starting to feel really far away from her. I couldn't conjure up the immense happiness I used to always feel when thinking about her and I guess I just started to worry that I was loosing my love for her. It started out only being something that would happen occasionally, but as the months went by, I began to worry and worry about it more and more. We used to always have great friendly conversations, no pressure, just talking, we were best friends. After a 3 months of this w...
