Is this wierd:
About a month ago when I was menstruating, I was about to go into the shower one morning, and i just stood in my bathroom naked in front of the mirror, took some blood from "down there" with my finger, and painted myself with it. I made four dots on each of my breasts, a small heart on my upper chest, a circle around my bellybutton, and a line going down the back of my spine (bottom part.) I dont know why I did it, I just did. What is your opinion?

I feeling mentally unstable and im only 15. My mom was very mentally unstable and I dont want to bring the family more grief now that shes well. For example, I'm getting paranoid like her, about irrelevant things. Second, I think im a mild sleep walker and im definetly a sleep talker. I dwell on negative things that dont matter too much and I talk to myself when i think of something stressful, in like an outburst. Its really weird and I didnt used to do this until stress came into my life. I dont have as many friends as I used to, im a little boring, and I used to have it all, kind of. I come off as confident and fun and most like me but inside dont feel the same, all the time at least. I know im really pretty but I use it to feel better ab...

How do I fix my life?
Posted Tuesday April 14 2009, 2:27 pm
Hello,
I'm a 26-year-old male. I'm 5'5" and weigh 300 pounds. I live at home with my parents and I have no job. My daily activities consist primarily of eating, sleeping and smoking cigars. My hygiene is terrible. I shower maybe twice a week, brush my teeth once a month, don't shave and my wardrobe consists of a t-shirt with food stains, a pair of mesh shorts and sneakers with holes in them.
I wasn't always this way. While I was never Mr. confident, I was able to participate in a variety of activities growing up. As a kid, I took swimming lessons, trumpet lessons and played several hours of basketball a day. In high school, I acted in eighteen theater productions and was a member of the football ...

AM I CRAZY?!?!?!?!
Posted Wednesday April 8 2009, 7:15 pm
i have never cut myself before and i dont think i have a mental problem or anything like that, but i have burned myself with a curling iron or punched myself or bit my lip really hard. i dont know why i do this. its not because i like seeing blood or it feels like some kind of release. i do it for attention, like when i had a big burn mark on my arm, i liked how everyone felt bad for me. and i scratched my face and told everyone i had fallen on the street. i have alot of friends and im the class clown so everyone knows me and always give me attention. im always cracking jokes or being obnoxious and everyone always laughs and gives me a ton of attention. but i still keep hurting myself. maybe i like them to feel bad for me or somethig? i don...

Will anyone else ever see it?
Posted Wednesday April 8 2009, 11:13 am
I was having a really hard time two months ago and my mom took me to see a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with a mood disorder NOS (not otherwise specified). My mom took me to have some blood drawn to check if maybe the way I was feeling was because my hormones were out of balance. We got the results back and the doctor said it was all entirely hormonal (mainly thyroid). So I really don't want what the psychiatrist wrote down on my report or record or whatever it's called to stay there for the rest of my life. Should I call him and tell him what was really wrong so I can get that off my record or will it just go away if I stop seeing him? Will anyone else ever be able to see what he wrote down(like whenever I go to apply for a job or something)?

Friendless, alone, depressed
Posted Wednesday April 8 2009, 3:37 am
Hey everyone. So I have been reallyyy depressed. It's senior yr of high school for me and I have no friends. I moved to a new town, and I feel 100% invisible. I am not kidding when I say that no one knows me. Instead of eating in the cafeterias I go to the bathroom in a stall until lunch is over. The school is so big. Sometimes I go to the library. Everyone at my school thinks I got kicked out (not true), n to make a long story short, I left with 0 friends from there. And I'm not antsocial or weird or anything, I'm normal but idk I feel boring and like I am just "passing time" when I talk to most people. College is starting in august, but I don't know what to do until then. I feel so alone. And to make things worse, my...

Scared of the dark?
Posted Monday April 6 2009, 6:31 pm
I am sixteen, and since I was small, I've always been scared of the dark. I don't mind when it's dark but there's streetlights, but if it's dark, outside or inside, I'm scared shitless.
I was mildly scared in my old house, but in my current house I am absolutely terrified, especially as this house gives off such a negative feeling (but that's another thing)
I just wish I could overcome this but I can't. I mean I can sleep with my lights off but if I have to go to the toilet at night, I have to turn on the biggest light in my room, then the light in the corridor and then the bathroom.
Any advice, please? And no stupid comments, that's no use to anyone.

Depressed and I don't know what to do
Posted Sunday April 5 2009, 11:47 pm
I'm completely depressed. I'm a 21 year old female college student at an out of state college though at the end of the current semester I will be moving back home to finish school at a university near my home. I have a great boyfriend but for some reason I just feel like I'm a walking zombie. I miss him and I miss home even though my family at home is basically in an all out war started by my younger brother's dabbling in pot. I haven't seen a psychiatrist or any other doctor because I don't have the time being in school constantly and working and living somewhere where I basically know zero people and zero about the city. I wake up wishing I could just sleep forever. I don't know how to communicate how I feel to my boyfriend and now ...

About relationships
Posted Sunday April 5 2009, 1:06 pm
Well my problem revolves around relationships and sex. I am 19 F and have never had a relationship in my life.I have been asked out a lot and at the moment have a couple of friends who really like me, but I don't want to go out with anybody and don't want to have a relationship. I have never kissed anybody on the lips, don't feel sexual needs and haven't been attracted to anybody. I'm no blind, I can tell that someone is hot and cute, but i'm not attracted to them. Once I thought about going with someone who is really close to me and likes me, but then I had a headache and just couldn't bring myself to do it. It's as though I have this STOP switch in my head and can't overcome it. My problem is that I think I like someone but my STOP switc...

My leg hair grows back really fast.
And I used the new Embrace razor from Venus and it didn't work very good on me.
But everyone else says it works wonders!

Am I normal? Cause if it has 5 blades it should get a close shave, but it didn't for me!

Lucid Dreams and Nightmares
Posted Wednesday April 1 2009, 1:00 am
I read an article recently suggesting that lucid dreaming can help someone suffering from nightmares cope. Is there anything you can do to encourage lucid dreaming in yourself? I had a nightmare about a week ago in which I realized what was happening couldn't be happening, and then the dream took a sudden turn for the better. Does that sound like a lucid dream?

Transgender
Posted Monday March 30 2009, 5:48 pm
I'm a 16 year old female.
I came out as bi sexual to my friends back in december. I started dating a girl at that time named Kristina. She is a very "butch" girl, i hate the term but i can't think of another way to explain it. She cut all of her long curly hair off into a boys hair cut and dresses in men's clothing [previous to us dating] None of the concerned me. I really do love kristina for herself, not for her apperance.
Me and Kristina ended up breaking up a few weeks after that.
We stayed good friends and acctually became best friends. We truly got to know eachother and starting falling for eachother again.
About a month ago we got back together, I cannot even begin to express how happy i am ...
