Plane Flights are avoiding me to go on trips
Posted Tuesday May 13 2008, 2:42 am
Our class trip is going to Poland and Israel for two and a half weeks
we fly from chicago to Poland, Poland to Israel, Israel back to Chicago. One of the main reasons I do not want to go on this school trip is because I am scared of flights and I suffer from panic attacks. I don't want to embarass myself from getting a panic attack on the plane flights and I'm thinking of taking adenine I think it's called. But the longest plane ride I've been on was six hours and I never traveled over seas before. I need some advice how to handle this situation whether i should go or not.
And to add
How long is the plane flight from Chicago to Poland and how long is the plane flight from Israel back to chicago
And what's the fo...

Autism
Posted Monday May 12 2008, 9:08 pm
I would like your input from all of you if Autism may have a factor on having a relationship? The reason why I am asking this is because I do suffer from autism and because of it, I seem to be avoided. Now I am one of those guys who is not a bad guy at all. I don't smoke, I drink very little alcohol and do not do drugs, and I am usually pretty quiet. Now I think the fact that I am quiet maybe another issue as well. I'm shy and may also have low self-esteem and that could be another factor as to why I don't have a girlfriend. It's very hard to find that right girl because most of the girls are always wanting a lot from guys and I just don't have the money to be doing all this stuff with them. I am in a lot of debt. I don't want a gir...

thinking
Posted Friday May 9 2008, 3:51 pm
i envy the way some people can make eye contact with someone while they are talking and still be able to concentrate on what the person is saying AND be able to think about what they said, and then come up with a response. I CANT DO THAT! i am pretty much infamous for asking people to repeat what they said a lot of the time.
whenever i make eye contact i focus on their eyes instead of what they are actually saying..and then when they finish what they said i have to ask them to repeat it. i also noticed that sometimes i am kind of a slow thinker i guess, like a lot of times i realize that im just staring at a place but not really thinking.
this is bothering me, especially the eye contact thing. i need advice on...

Parents Vs. Psychologist
Posted Thursday May 8 2008, 11:48 am
Well I have been seeing the school Psychologist lately. To make the long story short, I've been seeing her for a few months. She says I need professional help; that what she can do for me is limited, so I need to go see someone. She tells me that since I am 18, I can sign this form to refer me to a doctor. I talked to my parents about it and they say I would be stupid for signing it. Well I am deeply depressed to the point where it's affecting my relationship with family, friends, and my boyfriend. I want to be happy again! It's just the money that is a problem for me sort of. But I am thinking well I am 18, so.. should I go sign it? What do you think?

The smallest things will make her so mad.

9/11 jumpers
Posted Monday May 5 2008, 11:49 pm
I'm confused. how come the firefighters didnt just put trampolines to catch the jumpers so they didnt all have to die? i know they werent prepared but after seeing dozens of people jump why didnt they? i cant imagine it.. i mean falling thousands of feet going at 150 mph.. which takes like 10 seconds from a high floor. and i hear that some people got killed from being hit by these jumpers.. can someone just explain to me how it was like and why they died when they hit the floor? and did their bodies totally break apart or pretty much stay intact? and what do you think was going through their minds as they were about to hit the ground or were about to jump? oh and why werent there hellicopters there to rescue people? i saw a vid on youtube w...

I think I'm going crazy
Posted Monday May 5 2008, 12:01 am
I really do.
Here are my symptoms:
-I hear a constant ringing
-I hear a heartbeat plusing in my right ear. (This isn't constant, it comes in phases of 20 minutes or so.)
-I become irrationally angry with people
(This happens in public a lot. If I go somewhere I've never been, I can become very angry for no reason at everyone I see. I feel my heartrate increase and overall rage.)
-I see small animals like birds and squirrels that others claim not to see
-I get overwhelmingly dizzy
-I have a reocurring dream of this guy called Patrick who is very bad. He manipulates people in the most horrible and nasty way. I am scared I might see him in real life.

Depression
Posted Sunday May 4 2008, 4:52 am
I am becoming increasingly depressed.
I am dealing with a lot of difficulties at home - my Mother hasn't been at work for several months because she has bipolar and tried to overdose at New Year. My sister has serious anger problems, which means that she is constantly violent and rude. My Dad is finding the strain very difficult and wants to leave.
These problems have been going on for years, but around the time that it started to get much worse, I met my ex boyfriend. He was like my security blanket and helped me to feel happier about everything. We split up a month ago, leaving me completely heartbroken.
On top of this, I have important exams, which are key to my future, starting in about a w...
