negative thoughts
Posted Monday September 21 2009, 4:44 pm
so i am recovering from anorexia. i had it for over a year and my parents caught it early..15/f...now that i am at a healthy weight, i always stare at myself and i feel like i am fat, not FAT but not thin either. sometimes i plan on not eating anymore again but i will try to keep it not noticable so my parents wont know, but i remember how i felt and i just felt even more depressed so i always back out of it and just eat normally. but i am afraid that i am going to go back to those bad habits. anorexia comes in slowly and once you have it you dont even know it. i was so surprised when i actually looked at the symptons and it all added up. so whenever i get upset i always say negative thoughts about me, i always say i hate myself, i am ugly,...

ADHD med
Posted Saturday September 19 2009, 10:28 pm
I take 30mg of Vyvanse in the mornings before school on weekdays. It's supposed to last till 6-7 at night but it hardly lasts past 3. I know no one here's a doctor, but I'm sure there's someone who's had experience with this. If it's wearing off so fast does that mean I should go up on dosage? I wouldn't do anything without talking to the doctor first but I just want some advice before making a decision.

I just can't stop having sex
Posted Thursday September 17 2009, 6:35 pm
I just can't stop having sex. It's awful. I seem to wake up every morning with a new woman in my bed. Sometimes more then one. I always use a condom, but the thing that bothers me is I'm homosexual. Why can't I stop having mad sex with women?

Reminders of emotional abuse
Posted Wednesday September 16 2009, 11:40 pm
My mother is a narcissist and used to abuse me emotionally and psychologically. I just came to college a few weeks ago hoping to heal somewhat from that by being in a different environment. However, my roommate has similar issues with her mom, and when she calls her on the phone I can hear a lot of their conversation. It brings back memories and makes me feel the feelings all over again and it is very uncomfortable. I don't know how to make myself feel better when instances like this arise.
When I found out that her family was like mine, I thought it might be nice because we could share our experiences. We did that once, and I didn't even say a lot. But I started panicking and my hands were shaking. I had to go to the ...

Roommate- socially inept, awkward, abnormal??
Posted Tuesday September 15 2009, 10:53 pm
My roommate is a good person overall- and a good roommate to have- but some aspects of his personality and behavior have stood out to be fairly abnormal, especially given his age (nearly 30). This is not to say that he is threatening to me in any way- to the contrary--he generally keeps his space, maintains friendly dialogue, etc. I would say he is socially awkward to a fairly abnormal degree. He pretty much acts below his age level and does not know how to deal with certain things as an adult would.
Some aspects of his behavior are of concern to me. He usually stays in his room for prolonged periods of time (listening to music, mostly)- even when he has nothing to do and the weather is nice. He reacts to certain situations a...

is my memory normal?
Posted Sunday September 13 2009, 4:40 pm
I am 18 years old and I have the worst short term memory. I dont smoke weed or anything like that so my brain cells are not being damaged. Ever since I was younger, during a conversation I forget a word that I want to say. My vocabulary is horrible becasue ill know the word that I want to say but since I cant think of it at the moment I use a dumb word that barely makes sence. I forget things right after reading a sentance in a book. Sometimes when Im with a group of people I get discouraged to talk becasue I care about what they think or if they will make fun of the way I talk. People are witty and come up with interesting convos. I hear them having long lasting coonvos but mine are so short and I feel like its my fault. Do you think I men...

How can i stop being anorexic without telling my parents?
Posted Sunday September 13 2009, 11:09 am
(sorry i'm not sure if this is in the right subject but it seems about right) hi, i am 13 years old, i weigh 108 pounds and i am 5'8. about 4 months ago i weighed 153 pounds. everyday i force myself not to eat to a point where the hunger hurts so bad that i end up cutting my wrist just so i forget about the hunger pain. and whenever i do eat, its hardly anything and if i eat over about 400 calories or if i feel like i've eaten way too much i force myself to throw up (and i know that only bulimic people do that, but i dont binge like they do, only when i feel like i have eaten alot, and alot for me is like a pb & j sandwich).

natural antidepressants
Posted Friday September 4 2009, 8:32 pm
When I say the word "natural" I mean things that I can buy or do, but not prescription medication. I'm starting a new year at school and I'm already feeling depressed and anxious. I hate this feeling but I can't really talk to my parents about it. They keep saying it's a phase. I really need to feel better because I want to do better in school this year (and life in general). Are there any natural antidepressants that I can take?

How to deal with feeling so depressed and miserable.
Posted Thursday September 3 2009, 3:19 pm
I have so many things going on in my head right now thats causing me to feel majorly depressed and miserable. Well, maybe its not a super major depression since I am able to function still and do things, but I do feel really miserable To make mattters worse the only friend I have is away for a long time so I can't talk to him about it or spend time with him to help me feel better and now I'm just sitting around at home all by myself. I find only lashing out at my parents or brother to be the only way to ease the pain but I can't do that it's wrong. I really don't want to see a counselor or therapist, not only do I not have easy access to these things, but I really don't want to tell my parents. I assure you, these are people who just won't ...

i can't do it anymore
Posted Wednesday September 2 2009, 4:08 pm
i graduated from a school that i absolutely hated! it was a total disaster for me, and i had to go to therapy afterwards because it had a lot of bad side effects in the long run. I was treated very badly by students and faculty alike, and I just don't want to remember it or be any part of it. i suffered from an eating disorder in which I am still in therapy for, partly because i felt so out of touch with my life, and like i had no control over anything in my life. i was very close, if not, already, depressed. they told me last year, in therapy, that they were going to help me get through the year, and that when i got to college, everything was going to be so much better, and i was going to feel like a free person. so, i figured that i would...

Losing my mind
Posted Sunday August 30 2009, 5:34 pm
It's been like this for quite some time now. I feel lost, like I'm slipping away. I've been stressed with relationships, friendships, and school.And.. I feel so different with my boyfriend then before, and I'm not too sure why. I mean, I still care for him, but something has changed. And we got into this fight today, and it hasnt helped whatsoever. I've been in this big hole of depression. I don't know what to do. On top of this, I've had a really bad urge to hurt myself. I've already cut myself open with my nails. Any advice would be appreciated.
