Dreams
Posted Sunday February 1 2009, 5:49 pm
14/f
So pretty much, for a long time I've had the same dreams, and I was just wondering if anyone knew how to interpret them. I usually have dreams about:
-Either being naked/half naked at school and it doesn't bother me.
or
-Going somewhere feeling like I'm missing something important.
These dreams are usually, like totally out of the blue and really random.
I'm almost always with my friends OR my cousin in these dreams... and what I really don't like about them is that they seem really, really realistic, but something will be, like, off. Something weird, like the sky will be green, or my best friend won't know me, or even that I can't speak.

Afraid of boys?
Posted Sunday February 1 2009, 10:36 am
I have a 17-year old daughter who is currently a senior in high school. All her life, she has never had a boyfriend or even a friend that is a boy. This specifically is not why I am writing, because she is free to be friends with whom she wants. However, she has confided in me that she is afraid of men and boys and has been her whole life. I am not sure if it is getting worse as she gets older or is just manifesting itself in different ways. I was never like this so I am not sure what would be considered 'normal' feelings for her to have. I have talked to a few close friends about this and they say that I should look into her past to see if anyone could have hurt her in any way. I can think of nothing, except for things that I don't think w...

Where to buy a Diary in Calgary
Posted Saturday January 31 2009, 11:09 pm
Hello! 13/f here
well, i sometimes bottle up my emotions (i know, i know, its bad) because i dont really have anyone to talk to,because my mom is usually really busy with school work (shes getting a teaching degree) and my dad is usually tired from work. So, I am thinking of getting a Diary, but... where? I want one that has a lock, so nobody can read it obviously :P. I live in Elbow Valley just outside of Calgary, so any help? Chinook mall? Westhills? I need a place to get a diary with a lock,
Thanks for your help!!!!!! I need it to vent without hurting someone (which usually happens because of hormones and all, being a teen and all)
THANKSS!!!

Psyciatrist?
Posted Saturday January 24 2009, 8:50 pm
Hi there
I'm going to start seeing a psyciatrist. In the past four months my life has been falling apart through multiple horrible ecvents. I don't want to get in detail about it, but basically I'm depressed. Ive started taking Xanax because my dad has them (he let's me don't worry)... They're the only way I can stop myself from crying at night and help me fall asleep. I also hurt physically all the time , like someones been punching me. For this, ive been taking oxycodeine. This I got from my friends, but I'm careful and only use whatsnecessary. So when I start going to see the psychiatrist, what should I say to him so that he'll give me a prescription to both? Please, don't say there are other ways bc I needthis help at this time in my life. Thanks

happy go lucky cutter?
Posted Friday January 23 2009, 2:55 pm
So I just started my new job in November and absolutly love everyone I work with. I've been hanging out with this one girl who is always smiling and just really happy and friendly. But when I was working with her yesterday she reached for something and I noticed a bunch of cuts on her arm. I asked her what they are from and she said nothing and then acted like it never happened. I'm really worried about her. What should I do? Should I tell someone else?

cant lose weight
Posted Tuesday January 20 2009, 8:57 pm
I feel like I am trapped. Every week I continuously want to kill myself. I come closer each week to actually doing it. I jumped off a bridge and broke my back once just to feel the pain. In the last year my parents have divorced, put me into the middle of it by cheating and i found out. i lost my boyfriend. I went from being anorexic and the fastest girl on my cross country running team to the slowest and fat. I cant lose weight...each week i try and for about 3-5 days i do and then i overeat and gain it all back, sometimes more. I had almost made it to the olympic trials last year before i snapped. My hormones have gone and i take synthetic ones now but i dont feel the same. I feel like i am going to be fat forever. I cant date ...

Mind-stimulating activities?
Posted Tuesday January 20 2009, 8:55 pm
What do people mean when they say "Don't do too many mind-stimulating activities before bedtime. That's the reason you're having trouble sleeping."
Isn't THINKING a mind-stimulating activity? Because you're like...using your mind?

Im stuck in my head..
Posted Saturday January 17 2009, 12:36 pm
I have been strugling the last few years to bust through my shell and get out there, out of my comfort zone. I have been doing very well. ive only had one problem, recently, ive been so wrapped up in my head, in my thoughts, that i cant get out. have you ever wanted to stop thinking? just jump out of your mind and go do something else? thats how i feel right now. in school, i would just talk to my best friend, but we have since drifted apart and i haven't been able to find another friend to confide in the same way. any advice on how to get out?

I never know how I'm going to feel.
Posted Monday January 12 2009, 5:04 pm
This is going to be long. Sorry.
I tried talking with my mom about all of this earlier. I try to hide all of this from everyone as much as possible, so I don't think she really knew what I was talking about and she just kept saying, "Oh, It's just hormones and puberty!"
First of all, I'm almost positive my dad is bipolar. He has every symptom possible, not that he would ever admit that, and it's the same way for my grandpa. So I don't know if that's what's wrong with me, but I didn't think teens could even be bipolar...?
Last year, I would just have occasional mood swings. I thought that was just part of being a teenager and the whole "hormonal" thing. But since summer, it's gotten horrible. It start...

Really depressed, need some advice.
Posted Monday January 12 2009, 2:27 pm
So I moved to this school in my senior year of high school.
At the beginning, I didn't have a single friend and didn't make an effort at all. I was trying to improve my grades, so I was instead really focused on that because I had to make up for how poorly I did the previous year. So, I worked really hard and got all A's. I still don't have a single friend at the school, and it's mid-year. So, because grades improved and I got my counselor to write a 'glowing' recommendation for the colleges I'm applying to about my turn-around in grades and everything. She sent them, then today...she called my 1st period teacher to call me out of class so I could pick them up to overnight the letters.
Lately, my attend...

Posted Friday January 9 2009, 10:58 pm
Ok so I recently got accepted to go to Japan (My life long goal) and I got everything I wanted for x-mas and my birthday, pluss more.
I also have a loving family, and great friends, and I must say that even though my life can seem like it sucks sometimes its actually pretty good.
But the thing is, I don't feel happy about it. I feel... Empty. Its really weird like I feel hollow and guilty and this weird weight on my heart.
Its like... Now that I have everything I want, I feel like there is nothing else for me to... I dunno, get or live.
Its such a weird feeling. Especially that sometimes when I lay in bed at night I feel so guilty and empty (especially guilty) that I cant fall asleep or think about anythi...
