Astrapophobia cure?
Posted Friday June 19 2009, 11:00 am
I am very very afraid of thunderstorms. Afraid to the point of periodically checking weather.com to see if there will be thunderstorms anytime in the near future. I can't sleep during them and its really taking a hold of my life. I was just wondering if there is a way to stop being afraid of thunderstorms. And if there is does it involve being outside in one?

I mean i dont want to be anorexic or anything but I just want to eat less. I have like no portion control what so ever. It sucks!
Please give me some advice? :)

depressed
Posted Thursday June 18 2009, 12:30 pm
this summer i went to china to visit my family members, and my dad and i came back home early while my mom and brother stayed there for an extra month because my dad had work and i am going to a summer program at a university.
i got back home 3 days ago and ever since then i have been depressed and i don't know why. i suddenly feel like there's no meaning in my life and i hate being alive. i miss being in china and my mom and brother but i leave early every summer and never have problems so i don't know why i feel this way this time.
i have a summer program at a university and after that i have dance camp which i really do not want to go to because i don't like the team members. i feel like i hate this summer ...

21/f 5'5"
I have battled with my weight all my life. As a child, I was chubby and was bullied by my peers. In my early teen years, I suffered from an eating disorder, lost a lot of weight, and was very thin.
I started gaining weight at 16 and by the time I was 18, I was considered obese. At 19, I got down to 172 lbs (no longer obese, but still overweight) but then I gained it back. Now I'm just over 200 pounds, and I find that I am no longer able to lose weight.
I feel very bitter toward society, everyone who ever hurt me, and even myself. I feel like if I lose weight, I'm letting them win because "they" told me there was something wrong with me, so the only way to win is to love myself t...

Is my dad possibly depressed?
Posted Wednesday June 17 2009, 12:05 am
My dad is about 50.
recently (within the past 2-3 months) he's just been so pessimistic.
but.. it's something more than that. He's always getting onto my brother, he yells and gets angry pretty much once a day, if I'm around I get to be a target. It's getting worse and worse, his bouts of anger then sulking. I couldn't sleep and caught him up at like midnight and he seemed all sulky/angry then too.
I know he's had trouble sleeping, so yeah... It's so hard to explain. just that he's always getting angry, he does have a chronic disease so that is always on his mind too... I just.. I don't know anymore.
I'm not hurt directly by his comments, none of my family is, because we know it's...

I cant take it

Six weeks later a very close family friend died. Four weeks later I broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years. It seems like my life is just going to hell. I am constantly deppresed and see a grief councilor but it dosn't help.

Too much

14/f
I'm going to be a sophomore this year. Ok this is gonna be alot. I'm just sick and tired of everything. Last year my life was so hard for me. I couldn't handle it. I have been cutting since 8th grade. I haven't cut in a month though. I know its a really bad habit and I want to do it so bad but then I just can't cover it no more since its summer. My life was breaking down and I needed help so bad. I knew it. I blew off guys, like I didn't like any boy. I always have liked a guy but then last year it didn't happen. I kept wondering why. I had one boyfriend last year and he was the only guy I liked. I don't like him anymore. I got over it REALLY quickly...
I don't know but I cried so much. Then at times I did...

How to not be so sensitive.
Posted Sunday June 14 2009, 10:29 am
16/f
I'm an extremely sensitive person, but I try to never show my feelings. I don't want to come off as a weak person, but inside I think I am. I get hurt by the smallest things that shouldn't bother me. Usually the things that I get hurt by has to do with my boyfriend. Like, he doesn't say I love you often or he doesn't say things that I need to hear, etc. And this does not help our relationship at all.
I hateee being this way! Does anyone have any tips to becoming emotionally stronger?
Thanks!

breast augmentation covered by OHIP
Posted Friday June 12 2009, 7:15 pm
Hello Im 19/f and have very small pointy breasts. I JUST fit into a padded B cup bra. I feel like a kid.
I heard that if you have self esteam issues you could get the surgery covered by OHIP. Is this true? I read an article online where a woman states she's done just that.
If it's possible, how? How do you go about proving you have self esteam issues?
thanks!

big changes, need to be assertive

i am an 18 year old girl who has always had issues with confidence and self esteem. ever since i was a little kid all i did was draw. i guess the only thing ive always consistently done and been good at it is art. and now im going to school in new york for design. ive moved from los angeles to chicago, so this new city doesnt really scare me, but i feel like now that im anticipating these changes i should try and tackle the real issues about my personality.
im really easily manipulated by people in countless different ways. they always come over to my house because i let them even if i dont want to. they hustle me for money and drugs. (i do the same drugs). these people are my friends, and all of us do the same things to each...

Lucid Dreams

16/f
I'm very into translating my dreams. I read online that if you take vitamin B-6 about a half hour before you go to bed, you will have very vivid/lucid dreams. My question is, are lucid dreams satanic? Someone told me that they were. I'm a Christian, so I don't really want to experience any devil- type things, lol. Thank you!

Regretting the abortion now
Posted Tuesday June 9 2009, 1:31 am
I am a 20 year old History undergraduate and I feel like my life is falling apart. The past two months have been very difficult from being filled with my stupidity. I found out I was pregnant mid-March and had an abortion two weeks ago and the guilt is eating me up. I keep reliving the experience in my dreams, or, worse, I dream that I am still pregnant and wake up hopelessly disappointed (I am regretting this decision so much). I was supposed to take a pregnancy test on Friday to confirm that I am no longer pregnant and I can't bring myself to do it because I'm scared of seeing the negative result. My boyfriend resents me heavily for the choice and so refuses to talk about it with me, but I completely understand I can't say I would react a...

I'm self-destructive
Posted Saturday June 6 2009, 10:04 pm
It never fails, everyday I spend the day with myself. I have a couple of friends, but none that go to parties or do anything fun. It seems like everyone else is having an exciting summer with friends chilling by the pool or going to parties but I spend every night in my room watching Friends on tv. Ironic.
I don't want to just invite myself places, but somewhere I lost the old, fun me that used to have a ton of friends. Now, everyones grouped off and I've just been left behind. Getting invited to hang out in a tight group of friends has been the hardest thing. Any advice to make my summer NOT suck so bad?

Nasal Congestion from Rx Drugs
Posted Monday June 1 2009, 10:12 pm
Some medications, like ambien, trazodone and anti-depressants, will give me nasal symptoms, like congestion, which causes swelling. I'll wake up and my nose will be all swollen and stuffed up and stuff. Is there anything I can take that would help? I have tried nasal sprays, and allergy drugs like Allegra and none of them really seem to help. I also use ice, which helps a bit, but does anyone know anything that will really help?
Thanks.
