hypochondriac
Posted Friday March 27 2009, 3:05 am
I will start by saying that I am self diagnosed. as a child as young as 5 i remember staying up crying in bed because i thought I was dying and in the 80s when AIDs was becoming more known I was positive I had it (I was only 8).I am in my twenties now and I still go through periods of extreme paranoia and obsession with some life-threatening problem I believe I have. it most often starts out with something that actually is physically wrong but it escalates in my head a lot. (i.e cyst on my chest becomes cancer, chronic sore throat is throat cancer, heart palpitations is heart attack.) sometimes i get so paranoid that i convince myself i am going to die that night or by the time my son is five or whatever. Its ridiculous. the only things...

Random Body Spasms & Feeling Of Tenseness/Excitement
Posted Wednesday March 25 2009, 4:54 pm
This is going to be a very long question because to me its very serious.
I would like only more experienced people, possibly doctors if there is any, but if you feel you know whats going on, then go ahead.
This is very embarressing because (without sounding bigheaded) I think I am a fairly pretty girl, I have done some modelling, Basically I noticed a few months ago that something about me was different,
Sometimes in certain siuations, I go all tense and weird, like I suddenly tense my fists and start rubbing it on my face in a really weird motion, I have a lot of other examples, I do some really really weird stuff, I really dont understand why, I find the most frequent time of doing this is whe...

Pressing Charges.
Posted Tuesday March 17 2009, 4:40 am
Ok, I haven't told anybody this...
It's hard to even write on the net, even though I
don't know any of you.
Here gos.
When I was 7, my uncle molested me.
I didn't tell anybody because I was ashamed, scared,
embarrassed, the list gos on!
I want something to be done about it.
Now that I'm older, and I could take it if he beat
me up, I've had my share of fights...
Actually, many people's share of fights.
But that's beside that point...
I want him to go to jail or something.
How do I know he isn't out there fuckin' molesting
some other poor soul. I don't want anybody else
to go through what I did.

First Question: I slept next to this guy and he wanted to have sex. I kept saying no, But he wouldnt get off me and I was still saying no when he ripped my clothes off and penetrated me. But I layed there and Let him do it because I wanted him to leave me alone. A couple times through this I said no, and tried to push him off me, but It didnt work. Is this considered Rape?
Second Question: I havent told anyone about this until now, and it happened a couple months ago, So theres no physical evidence left. But Ever since then Ive felt empty and numb to feelings and intimacy. Should I see a Counselor or therapist because of this?

Really vulnerable
Posted Friday March 13 2009, 6:25 pm
When ever I get into trouble, "talked to", or some embarrassing happens like a guy turning my down- I replay that bad moment in my head for days. I get really upset when I can't get the memory out of my head and then I feel very vulnerable for the next few days. I don't know why, most of the time the moment wasn't that big of a deal in the first place.
How do I just calm down and move my mind away from replaying bad memories constantly on repeat? :(

So Alone. Becoming Depressed
Posted Wednesday March 11 2009, 8:00 pm
15/f.
I guess this isn't really a question, but to see if anyone has gone through what I am going through now.
You see I seem to be getting more and more depressed lately.
I just feel so alone. I have friends, but I don't have like a super close friend who is always there for me. I don't have a boyfriend. The guy that I have liked since seventh grade is now practically dating this amazingly pretty girl who seems to have everything. It just hurts so bad because for some reason I thought that he had feelings for me. It makes me feel like I am not good enough, or pretty enough.
I don't think people know what I am going through. I live in a nice home, my parents have good jobs, and I get good grades.
People do...

Cutting
Posted Thursday March 5 2009, 7:57 pm
If you cut does that mean your emo? Like the stereotypical type? I'm in 9th grade and I've cut since 8th grade. Not all the time but I do when something goes wrong and I break down. I'm only 14 and none of my family has ever found out about it. Only some of my friends saw. What am I supposed to do? I'm usually unhappy and stuff and I hate it at home. But I can handle everything better at school than at home although I hate school too. I've thought I needed help a few months ago because of what I've thought but didn't really think I'd ever do it. I know this might have been stupid but I really don't know what to do anymore. Help?

abortion decision
Posted Tuesday March 3 2009, 7:21 pm
(21/F) A few years ago, I had an abortion. It was during a serious relationship and I was going into college and I felt it was right due to all the circumstances. I had support from my family, but my boyfriend never knew because we split before I went through with it. Sometimes I really regret my decision, and wonder if it would have been a boy or a girl. I wonder what he/she would look like. It just hits me hard, still to this day. Deep down, I know it was the right decision but I cry alot and think about the "what ifs". Has anyone gone through this? What am I supposed to do? I don't need any lectures or personal opinions, I just need some honest help.

Recovering from mental illness
Posted Saturday February 28 2009, 3:17 pm
I'm a girl in my early 20s.
I've suffered from depression and anxiety my whole life, but it really came to a head between 2006 and early 2008. I progressed from getting nervous in class, to being scared to go out, to being terrified of going to the grocery store across the road, to being unable to leave my house or even my room.
I failed out of school twice in this time. I lost contact with all but a small handful of my friends, and nearly lost even my family and my fiance. Fortunately, I was able to get through this alive after being hospitalized for several weeks. I took a year to get used to life and living again, and I'm feeling better than I ever have.
Here's my dilemma: I really want...

I have an eating addiction!
Posted Thursday February 26 2009, 6:54 pm
19/f
I am 5'8"...about 147 pounds right now.... I look relatively thin. I've always eaten alot. My metabolism is in my favor; at one time I've lost a little weight when i wasnt trying to. Sometimes it would be alot at once, or sometimes i just eat often. I have always enjoyed eating vvvvvery much. Sometimes it comforts me, or it just makes me happy. But more recently, I don't always seem to enjoy eating.
Now it seems more like an addiction. Like, with the withdrawl and the cravings that i cant seem to discipline myself to resist. I eat when i'm not hungry. I eat when I'm full. I eat things I'm not even sure if i want. I just cant stop eating!

I May need a Therapist??
Posted Wednesday February 25 2009, 6:15 pm
I sometimes feel like EVERYONE around me is pissing me off. I feel like everything they do or say irritates me and I end up feeling alone or aggitated. I also sometimes feel alone becasue I don't have many friends, they person I see or hang out with regularly is my boyfriend, his family and his friends! I feel like I should talk to someone proffessionally and maybe they could help me feel good about my place in life and maybe they can help me to react to things better. My issue is that most of the time if someone sees a therapist it may be a reflection that I have a problem, I may have some problems but I don't believe I have an actual mental problem. I want to go see a therapist but I do not know if I should, or how to book an appointment ...
