I get envious when other girls menstruate
Posted Sunday June 26 2016, 5:45 am
I am a 24year girl with poly cystic ovarian syndrome. I got diagnosed when i was 17years old. Commensement of my menarch was normal but after 2-3years irragularity took place. I do not get my periods more than 5-6months. Doctors do not want to operate as i am unmarried. I have severe hirsutism, obesity, drowsiness e.t.c. my problem is i feel so mascuiline. I feel like i am infertile. So whenever i hear my mother or other girls around me menstruating i get angry and envious. No matter how much feminine i try to make myself in deep inside i feel this disoriented gender. PCOS is tormenting me more psychological than physical. Please help.

She broke me and took my will to live.
Posted Thursday June 23 2016, 10:59 pm
My life kind of started to end on July 15 2014. My wife of 52 years and I were sitting on our deck when we looked at each other and said, You know something we got it made. That was because I had finally retired and we had moved into our new house in the mountains. That was around one pm when we spoke those words.
That night around seven we got a call from one of our daughters (Barb). She told us that she had just left the doctors and they had told her she had stage four ovarian cancer, and that she had 1 to 5 years to live.
This as you can imagine floored us. The next morning my wife (Elaine) and I packed her suitcase. We decided that my wife would move in with Barb to help her as much as possible. Barb lives three hours away...

Self hatred
Posted Wednesday June 22 2016, 1:18 pm
Well i am a very confused soul. I am at my mid 20s and still don't know what i really want from society. I am a chubby girl with polycystic ovarian syndrome and so i grow unwanted facial hair like men. I suffer from multi mental complexes. Everyday life is like a hell to me. When i go public people stop and ask what is wrong with me and give wierd look. Previously it used to feel so awkward and i used to avoid sunlight and go out only in the evening. But then i thought its me who i am, what god makes me and not the society. My femininity does not depend upon my look. So i cope with the problem created by my own mind. But then a guy proposed me over social media unknown of the fact of my hirsutism. I have not met him face to face yet. But to...

Why do people think anxiety is cute and romantic
Posted Saturday June 18 2016, 7:41 pm
As someone who has anxiety, it's not! It's not cute and romantic to avoid things because of irrational fears, to not be able to relax your body, and for your body to always be shaking. Or taking hours to fall asleep to wake up at 3 am having a panic attack, hallucinating. It's not aesthetic to be doing a project in science class that involves heart rate and find out your pulse beats 40 above average even though you eat right, exercise and are generally a healthy person and people being like "???" And not wanting to explain. And being worried about everything, from your friends leaving you even though that's unreasonable because your friends are great and have stood by you through everything but you're afraid if you express your f...

It's over... but why?
Posted Tuesday June 7 2016, 9:25 am
Okay, 28/f. He's 27. We've been together for a bit more than a year...
We were fine... but then we weren't. I started to want more than he could/would give me. When I brought my needs to him, he wanted to try to do everything he could to change and fight for the relationship.
But the problem is... I think I'm just done. Not only did I say I loved him first, but he didn't respond. I had to ask him to say it six months later, after dream after dream where I heard him say it, and woke up to realize he hadn't. I know that he tried to show me (and to me, yes, actions DO speak louder than words), but... When I'm physically with him, I'm happy and I think things like "THIS is right. Cuddled up on the couch, comfortable...

I can't take it anymore - immediate help please!
Posted Sunday May 8 2016, 1:57 pm
First off, please don't tell me to get a counselor or a psychiatrist, because they do not help me even in the least bit. All they do is make me angry and I don't know why. It's the more they speak, the more irritated I get. I just hate talking about myself; it's the thing I hate the most to do. Like I'd rather talk continuously good about my worst enemy than ever talk about myself. I've given so many counselors and psychiatrists (been given so many different medications) a chance that I can't even begin to count. I'm so sick of being a guinea pig on all these medications and I'm so sick of constantly repeating my life story to every counselor. Like there's no more counselors that I can go to, to be honest. My father just gave up, he said I'...

disconnected and lonely
Posted Monday April 18 2016, 9:05 pm
(17, f)
I've been feeling disconnected from people and lonely for a while; even a little bit numb. It's not numb like I don't feel emotions, its more like I'm living in a cloud of emotions and everything else doesn't seem to matter. School, sleep, chores; I just can't make myself care. But relationship wise, I care a whole lot.
It has just been this way for a couple of weeks and I want it to stop!
I know that I need to care about school because I need to get good grades, but I just can't make myself care because I am floating in this cloud of emotion.
And I find myself delaying going to sleep, not because I'm not tired, but because I'm lonely. Almost every evening, generally sometime be...

12 year old girl. I have been diagnosed with synethesia. I associate numbers, letters, sounds, and names and tastes with colors. I also can taste colors and numbers & letters have personalities for me. Along with mirror touch, it explains why whenever someone got hit in the head or something I felt a sensation I can't ignore. It's always been that way I just never knew it was a nuerological condition, or even that it was something out of the ordinary until I had causually brought up the color of three to my mom who was supprised and my family was all "wait numbers have what." And when I said something tastes like purple to a friend she's like "uhhhh since when do colors have tastes?" And everyone was genuinly confuse...

My dream job is to be a "senior sitter," where I just sit with someone's elder when they can't.
I want to volunteer and donate all the time, like at animal shelters, hospitals, soup kitchens, etc.

What's going on: voices in my head

Sometimes I'll go to sleep at 10 then wake up at 3 totally awake and filled with energy. Sometimes I hear these voices in my head. I know it's not my own thought sometimes I can't make out what they're saying and they tell me bad things every now and then but I can't sound them out! Why?

I honestly feel as if I'm going crazy. How do I overcome this?

21/f
I always feel like I don't have time for anything. Like the clock is just ticking life away and there is nothing I can do about it. To an observer,I would probably seem like I've got everything going for me. When in reality,I've never felt more miserable.
I'm always waiting for it to get better,but it never comes. I keep waiting for 3 years to pass my anatomy exam but it just isn't working out. I keep waiting to become more likeable but I only have one close friend who doesn't really understand when I get emotional. I have recently broken up with a guy I loved very much because he was homophobic. I keep waiting for an opportunity to meet someone right for me but it feels like it will never come. It feels like I w...

WARNING: HUGE question!!! at least in my opinion it is
Posted Thursday February 25 2016, 1:19 pm
i want to completely change myself. for so long, i have been a very, very depressed, miserable, super anxious, kind of rude, boring, not social at all person who has A LOT of anger issues.
i want to change into my ideal person: super happy most of the time, calm at all times (never angry), sees the positive in even the worst situations, easily talkative, the sweetest thing ever, doesn't get attached to people or things, etc.
i really really need to work on my anger issues, which meditation has helped a lot so far. ive also found out that resisting to act on my anger, my brain will rewire to become more calmer, and it's worked a lot so far. does anyone know any other ways to kill my anger even more? i just want ...
