Should I just die?
Posted Monday July 13 2009, 1:58 pm
This is driving me insane. The guilt is unbarable. I knew it was wrong and I did it anyways. The worst part about it is I can't stop. I tell myself I'm going to, then I find myself doing it again. I'm scared to get help. I mean, if they knew what I was doing, I thought they'd be able to keep it secret. I can't tell anyone. Instead I just wanna die. My secret will come with me, and I'll never have to worry about doing THAT again. Should I die? I'll at least see my mom...

i don't know what i'm asking

I don't know what I'm asking because I don't know what I'm thinking....if that makes sense.
I'm just....I don't know what I'd call it. One second, I'll be happy-go-lucky, looking around thinking how pretty the birds sound or how beautiful the flowers look, and then the next second I'll feel all depressed and anti-social, I-hate-the-world, fuck-everybody. I'll just wish that I was alone, or that I could pause the world for a couple of hours so I AM alone. Because honestly, I can't be alone ever. I share a room with a SEVEN YEAR OLD, and everyone in this god damn house thinks of and treats her as a princess and so my room is the CENTER OF ALL ACTIVITY. If I'm in the living room because she's in my room, and I'm watching TV...

I'm obsessed with Twilight! Of all the things I never thought a book/movie could change my lifestyle SO much. I so want to find an Edward of my own and if he looks like Rob Pattinson- BINGO!! UGH!! I just need to come back to reality. But its just so difficult. I refuse to meet guys now because at my last date all I was thinking was how much the guy looked like Taylor Laurent!! Please tell me how do I get over this stupid obsession before I lose my sanity!!

my memory sucks...
Posted Wednesday July 8 2009, 10:47 pm
i've always had a problem with my memory. i'm constantly forgetting things. if someone ask me to do something most likely i won't do it. not because i'm lazy but because i don't remember you asked me. or i will tell the same stories over and over to the same people and cant remember ever telling them. it's gotten really bad. it's always been bad, but lately i just cant seem to remember anything. my family thinks it's because i'm not listening or i'm lazy. but i know i'm not lazy and i know i listen to people. i'm worried about this because it's straining my parents' and i's relationship. also i've been diagnosed with ADD. does that have anything to do with it? what are my possible diagnosis? anyone else have the same problem? and what do you do to help it?

Do I have OCD? Is this considered Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
Posted Wednesday July 8 2009, 4:57 pm
First off, I'm 21 years old. I'm not obsessively neat or anything but I do have this thing about checking things over and over again and worry that something horrible will happen if I fail to do something. For example, I set 4 alarm clocks because I think if I'm late to work, I'll be fired, even though I've never been late and know a first time offense doesn't warrant firing. This sounds weird, but I always check light switches and unplug everything in my bedroom before leaving for the day. I can't leave without doing that.
Another thing I do is replay in my head every conversation I've had that day and somehow manage to find something horrible I said or did in each one. For example, I was joking around with my boss today an...

Anxiety/Depression
Posted Tuesday July 7 2009, 9:53 am
16/F
Anxiety and depression runs in my family.. My mom, dad, and brother are all on depression medicine. I was once diagnosed with deperession about 3-4 years ago, but I overcame it. I now have realized that I am starting to feel major anxiety. (always wondering what my boyfriend's doing, why won't he text me back, what if something bad happens to my family, etc.) I overthink everythingg. I AM SO SICK OF THIS! I'm a happy person, but this anxiety is turning into depression.
I've tried a lot of things to fight this. (praying, learning how to not be so senstive, and now I'm going to try meditating.) I really do not want to take medication like the rest of my family, but I'm afraid it's come down to that.

Social Anxiety
Posted Tuesday July 7 2009, 2:07 am
My mom says she thinks I have social anxiety, one of my close friend said she agreed, and I think my psychologist might agrees although she hasn't said so to me directly. I have always disagreed and think I'm just fine but recently I have started to wonder. I avoid people at all costs, even my friends because I'm afraid of doing something wrong, saying something stupid, or otherwise embarassing myself. I hate meeting new people and I can barely talk to people I don't know, its hard enough talk to those that I do know. I can't even bring myself to go up and talk to anyone outside my immediate family (my mom and two sisters)without being poked and prodded. I don't like leaving my house and I try not to because I'm afraid I might look stupid o...

am i losing it?
Posted Monday June 29 2009, 1:29 am
i'm seventeen year old girl & i'm not making this up.
if your a logical person, stop reading.
i'm almost positive i can predict death. :/ i know that sounds so crazy, and to be honest, i've just admitted it to myself about 3 months ago. I've realized about this since 5th or 6th grade. (now in 11th.) i'm not like some creepy weird sad girl who sits in the corner all day and cries or something. i'm really normal, and it doesn't really affect me.. yet atleast.. its honestly so embarrassing admitting to myself, its embarrassing even typing this out, even to a bunch of random strangers. i'm not a different person really or anything. i like all normal stuff, i dance & cheerlead, do ok in school, have lots of ...

I think I have a lot of different things..
Posted Monday June 29 2009, 12:17 am
(15/Female)
I'm pretty confused. I've told my parents more than once that I think I have depression/bipolar/OCD/anxiety, but they won't do anything about it.
I have really bad mood swings and I'm really unstable. The smallest things set me off and I absolutely LOSE IT over almost everything. I'm always tired and I don't have the same motivation that I had when I was little. I used to cut a lot and I still do, just not as much. I have terrible mood swings and sometimes I just lash out on people for basically nothing. If someone I'm around gives off a bad vibe or is in a bad mood, I automatically ajust, I can't help it. I switch moves often and fast, I'm like a whirlpool of emotions all the time..

paranoia!!!!
Posted Sunday June 28 2009, 1:19 am
I've recently discovered I'm severely paranoid. Any scenerio, any time, any day, I'm going through all the possible outcomes of something. And all the outcomes my brain comes out with are bad. I also hate walking alone at night. I'm afraid I'll get raped or kidnapped or shot or something. And I'm always feeling watched and hearing voices, like the people that are watching me are talking about how dumb I must look, constantly turning around to see if I'm being followed. I'm 16, so obviously I'm going to do stupid things. But there is a level of stupid that I just refuse to cross because I'm so afraid of what might happen. Like, for instance. I wanted my boyfriend to sneak over earlier. But then I told him not to because he could get caught o...

Panick attacks?
Posted Friday June 26 2009, 5:56 am
For the past week i've been having trouble breathing. It's like I can't catch my breathe. It lasts up to 5 minutes sometimes longer but also sometimes shorter. I have to sit down and focus on breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. It helps a lot if I breathe when I yawn. Also when I do that sometimes I get really lightheaded. Are these panick attacks? If so why would I get them so often? It's just a once a day thing. It's more like 20 times a day maybe more. Any advice would be appreciated. Also i'm almost sure that I had a panick attack at school once. I couldnt breathe I was feeling really embrassed and I was crying and I really thought I was going to stop breathing, I didnt even know why I was so upset, was this a panick ...

Should I be worried that my mom is talking to herself at night?
Posted Thursday June 25 2009, 2:38 am
My mom is 38 years old now and she works at night. My mom usually gets home from work about 3am. I have been waking up for close to 2 months now probably because I hear voices coming from the living room. Well, for the past few weeks now I've been sneaking into the living room to check out who my mom has over or whatever so late. It appears that she is talking to herself though!
It looks like my mom is talking to someone right across from her. She is looking straight ahead and everything, every time I have seen her! The weird thing is that it's basically dark in there. There is enough light for me to see the figure of my mom decently (including where her gaze is projected) and know that there isn't anyone else in the l...

Alternative Solutions To Cutting Youself
Posted Tuesday June 23 2009, 1:45 am
I'm looking for an anternative solution to cutting myself... I'm 14, and I've recently been caught in the act of cutting. My parents have decided to take me to a psychologist, and I'm really not looking forward to it... It's hard enough to talk to them. The problem is, everyone is asking if I'm okay, and what's wrong, but I don't know the answer to that. I don't know what's wrong exactly. It's a lot of stuff, I guess. I know it's wrong to cut myself, and honestly, it's just plain stupid. Nobody wins with it. I've tried to keep all this hidden from my friends. I don't want them to worry, or judge. There's one friend who I've told, but I don't want to keep pushing all this on them. It's really none of their concern. They've helped me by talki...

ADD
Posted Monday June 22 2009, 11:56 am
Please help me! I'm a 13-year-old girl in eighth grade and I have moved 2 times. I've been attending my new school for 9 months and I have only one friend. It's not that I'm not nice or that I don't want friends - I just can't seem to make them. When I meet a nice person and I talk to them, I can't think of anything to say and we just don't become friends. Everyone at school ignores and neglects me and I sit in a corner and don't talk to anyone. Do I have ADD? Help! I'm kind of...hopelessly miserable!
