Hallucination
Posted Friday December 11 2009, 6:35 pm
I have been very confused lately.. Very stressed, actually always stressed and angry but what's really getting to me, is that I hallucinate, and I am not sure how to face it or ask for help or I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, like is this real hallucination or just my brain playing tricks on me.
You know when you watch a scary movie at night and you imagine someone passed by you.
It happens to me a lot you know, it's normal but it's been a month I don't just see shadows in the dark no I see it in the morning, I hear voices from cracks to laugh to squeals but that isn't all sometimes i am just hanging out on the couch and I feel it vibrate which is crazy because it lasts so long that I can believe th...

Not feeling like myself?
Posted Friday December 11 2009, 2:36 pm
Hey 14f i don't know if this is in the right category?
Okay, lately I haven't been feeling like myself. I've been worrying a lot lately and feeling sad. (i'm usually a worrier), but this week it's different every morning this week i had a nervous feeling in my stomach (plus the feelings from my period.) I don't know if its from my period or not? I've been less talkative to my friends and everything..I even walk away quickly in the hallway not even waiting for my bf. I feel so upset this week. I'm not the most popular girl in the school, and usually i don't care. Now i do, i wonder what the hell does my boyfriend see in me? I feel like i'm not skinny enough, even when i look like i'm fine. I remember(this was awhile agoo) I w...

I need to get my life back together.
Posted Sunday December 6 2009, 1:22 pm
I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder a couple months ago. I'm on an antidepressant and things were going wonderful and I was finally happy up until a month ago. I started going back to how I used to be (drinking, etc.). I also have ADD so I'm very restless/impulsive all the time and that's what the result is I guess. I don't want to slip back into my old ways. I'm trying so hard not to. It's just everyone my age makes it so difficult. I really need to focus on school and just getting myself better again. It's just that everytime I do I start slipping again. Help? How can I stick with this for once?

Boyfriend died. . . he was the one.

(Sorry, it's long. The last paragraph has the actual question--the first paragraph is just the backround story)
Okay, I know I'm kind of young to be saying this but about two years ago I fell in love. Not teenage girl crush type of love, the real love. I fell in love with my best friend. We were friends since I was nine and he was ten. When I turned 13 we started growing feelings towards each other. Last year, on my 14th birthday, he asked me to be his g/f and, of course, I was ecstatic and said yes. We fell in love. I couldn't go one day (literally) without hearing his voice. He was my whole life. He was everything too me. I knew he was the one, there was (is) no life or happiness without him. Last year o...

social anxiety?
Posted Friday December 4 2009, 9:18 pm
The past year or so, I've been feeling very nervous in social situations, around friends and in school. The really weird part is, I used to be the biggest party girl and really outgoing, someone who would always speak her mind and just talk to anyone. Now, I find myself shy, closed-off, and very introverted. I'm in college now, and I should be having a great time.. but I don't like being with groups of people or even raising my hand in class. When I'm called on in class, I get so nervous even if I know the answer completely! Going up to the front of the class for a presentation? A complete nightmare. What happened to me all of a sudden? I don't understand this. I just want to be the calm, cool and collected girl again.

autistic psychologists
Posted Tuesday December 1 2009, 8:04 pm
i was just wondering, can autistic people become psychologists? because you know, with autism you kind of aren't so good with reading people's faces and things, so is it possible to be autistic and become a psychologist?
thanks!

depressed people happy when others dont know they are depressed
Posted Monday November 30 2009, 7:10 pm
I know that depressed victims are, well, depressed- but do they undergo some sort of high- when people don't know this about them?
do they take pride in others not knowing?
is this a symptom?

Addicted to shoplifting.
Posted Friday November 27 2009, 11:22 pm
I'm addicted to shoplifting. I've been doing it for about a year and a half now. It was my 2009 New Year's Resolution to stop shoplifting...but I didn't. I've been shoplifting weekly for about a year. I steal everything from makeup, jewelry, clothes, chapstick, food, pens, and headphones.
Today I went shopping with my sister (she used to steal, too, but she doesn't anymore). We went into a store and I stole two pairs of pants. Then we went to a store across the street and I stole a pair of shoes, a shirt, and two drinks. My sister saw all the stuff when we got home and told me she would never shop with me again. She's my best friend and this makes me sad. :(
I hate that I shoplift. But I also love it. I love ge...

Help please!!!
Posted Thursday November 26 2009, 1:50 pm
I have a problem. I just got back from a foreign country a few months ago after being there for over a year. When I got back to my hometown, I was expecting a very warm welcome back from my family and relatives. Instead, it felt like they were rejecting me. I was more happy to see them than they were happy to see me. I actually went to college at the foreign country but then dropped out of the second semester because I was not able to master their culture and I just got shut down many times. Well I came back to my home state and I'm thinking this is the reason why my family is acting shady around me and it really hurts. Some of my relatives also asked me why did I come back. The whole reality of my comeback is just eating me on the inside.....

Have any of you had this problem? Am I crazy?
Posted Thursday November 26 2009, 4:53 am
I know I really should talk to a doctor about this, but I just havent really come to terms with it myself yet. I have these thoughts during the day about my friends, my family, my animals, anyone really. There just these horrible thoughts and I don't know how to stop them. Anyway just like if someone is walking through water that they spilt on the floor or something I get these images in my head where the person would fall and get hurt really bad or die. Really terrible thoughts that I can't control, they just...happen. It makes me feel crazy really, and that definitely scares me. I've never told anyone about this. For one thing they'd probably think i'm crazy or something, and two they'd think of me differently and I really don't want that...

Over-analyzing myself
Posted Wednesday November 25 2009, 7:39 pm
I used to be a happy, carefree girl always with a smile on my face. Now? I constantly worry about what people think of me, I abuse my body by calling myself fat and ugly, I've lost my 'spark' in my personality, and I'm hard to be around because I've become sensitive to small things like harmless jokes that I take too personally.
I over analyze my every thought and statement which usually leaves me saying something awkward. Has this sudden, dark change happened to you before? Or, any idea on how to become a little more carefree and get back to my old happy self?
17, desperate female, lol.

I don't know what to feel.
Posted Monday November 23 2009, 5:26 pm
15/f. I'm sorry if this is all over the place and choppy, I'm just going to type things as they come into my head, which is really unorganized. Firstly, I know it's just a normal teenage thing, but I've been feeling the weirdest things lately. Like this morning, I was in a bad mood when I woke up, really happy when I got to school, and then went back into a terrible mood once second block rolled along. I haven't really been happy lately.
I've never exactly been skinny... about a year and a half ago, I started not eating much. I never went more than a day without eating, and it only lasted about a week, but in that week I lost sixteen pounds, and ten more in the next month or so. It made me feel accomplished that I had that ki...

anger
Posted Monday November 23 2009, 1:23 pm
Hello im 18/f and im usually a very happy person and see the positives in everything. The past couple weeks i've noticed im getting very frustrated with everything and anything. (my mom and my stepdad recently just got divorced) maybe that plays a role in this? If things dont go my way or anything is out of place i freak out and get really mad. My boyfriend and I were on the phone last night and there was like 20 seconds of neither of us talking and i freaked out on him. Why is this happening to me all of a sudden? I try to calm myself down but i just cant. Thanks!

About who I really am!!!
Posted Sunday November 22 2009, 4:04 pm
I went to college in the Philippines and I just did not know how to deal with the reality because I did not know how to speak the national language and I all my classmates made fun of me that's why I dropped out of college in the Philippines in the first place. I've also quit my jobs before that because of the reality. Now just today, I revealed the biggest secret that I've been hiding all my life to my mom and that's that I am gay. I'm beginning to think that hiding this secret all my life ate me on the inside in which I think led to the decisions I've made in life. I just couldn't deal with certain problems with people. Do you think coming out was the answer to all my problems in the past?? I feel like I've been living a lie about myself ...

Why am I so irritated all the time?
Posted Friday November 20 2009, 11:05 pm
For some reason -- I'm ALWAYS irritated, especially at home. Whenever my Mom, brother or my Dad ask me a question, I tend to snap or have to clench my fist because I get so angry. Like, just now, my Dad called asking me when I'll come to his place, and it's just making me so so ANNOYED. And then when my Mom asks why my Dad called!
I feel like I've developed this anti-social personality. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I remember reading once that people who are on the computer for long hours generally have a hard time dealing with others. Also, for some reason I can't stop feeling depressed and hate all the time. I can't stop hating, and being annoyed for the fact that religion is making everything complicated and ...
