Just...depressed and alone.
Posted Thursday November 19 2009, 2:08 pm
Hi, sooo. I've been feeling really down lately. Very, very down.
Background story --
i went to three different high schools, and never really kept in touch with people, and graduated with zero friends. i went to a new high school my senior year, and for lunch everyday I either went to the library by myself, or hid in the bathroom. I don't know what's wrong with me but I just like to be by myself. I'm introverted. Quiet, observant, and socially awkward. I participated in some after school activities like drama club so some people know me from that because I used to talk there, but in general I graduated with zero friends, and not even a lot of acquaintances. I guess you could say I was a loner for two years. ...

Losing hope
Posted Wednesday November 18 2009, 1:32 am
19/f Lately I feel like a total and utter loser. I'm nineteen years old, no license, no job, no car, and I'm not in college. I graduated over six months ago, and still have nothing. I feel like no one really cares. My grandparents keep telling me I need to join the military, and my parents keep reassuring me everything will be fine. I'm starting to think they don't know anything about me. All I do is sit around my house, reed books, see my boyfriend, watch movies, and play on the computer. I'm in over my head worried about health insurance, a place to live, etc. I've been trying to get my license but every time I take it I get nervous and I've already taken it 3 time. I know. Pathetic, right? My boyfriend has been driving with me, but my pa...

Im a slut! :'(
Posted Tuesday November 17 2009, 9:07 pm
I am a slut. There is no denying it really. I am 18 years old and I have slept with five guys! The subject came up at a friend's party and out of 17 girls I had slept with the most guys. I just burst into tears and cried!
I used to believe the "everybody is doing it" thing but now I found out that all the girls around me were SAYING they did things to seem cool and I went and did them so I didn't feel left out or like I was missing out on something good. So now I am a slut to everyone I know. I so wish I hadn't been the first one to answer how many I had slept with.
So now I feel like no guy will ever want me again. No good guy that is. I mean I would never date a guy who slept with more ...

Overwhelmed!
Posted Monday November 16 2009, 4:44 pm
22/F
I've struggled with depression and anxiety in the past, and thought I was over all of it. Went back to school, things were going well. I'm not on medication or seeing anyone right now, since my psychiatrist dumped me due to being overloaded, and my medication was zombifying me.
I got swine flu and was away from school sick for a week, plus I didn't really recover until another week after that. I've been slipping behind in schoolwork, which is depressing me, which is making me slip more.
Basically, I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm behind in everything; I have 3 labs and an assignment overdue in one class, another 2 in another class, an essay in another class.
I feel like my lif...

Okay so a year and a half ago I was raped by someone I have known since I was 9 I am now 20. Anyways when people start talking about rape or say rapist or anything sometimes the subject doesnt even have to come up, I start thinking about it and then get in this horrible depression. I am also diagnosed with bi-polar and attending college so it gets really stressful, to the point where I start feeling sucidal and thats not normal. I can't afford my medication i have talked to many counselours but this rape thing really bugs me sometimes, I thought I would be over it by now? Whats going on?

Abandonment Issues!!!!
Posted Friday November 13 2009, 2:36 am
16/f
When I become hurt, it’s usually caused by the feeling that someone is leaving or abandoning me. It’s much like those feelings that come to you your first time lost in a store as a child. Those gut wrenching feelings that indicate to you that you’re alone and have nowhere to go. It’s this feeling, the feeling you feel when you’ve lost all hope and are left hopeless and defenseless, that overwhelms me. I become mute and regress back into a child; a child that can no longer decide for themselves and one which searchers eagerly for some sort of substance to rely upon.
It’s times like this where I make the wrong choices. I become so focused on finding some sort of release that I make rash decisio...

Pregnant People

16/f
My friend is having an abortion today, and although I don't support her decision completely, I am here for her completely.
On the other hand, I just found out my mother is pregnant with twins, she already has three kids. We can't afford two more children, and by we can't afford it I mean, we can barely get through now. (We barely have a place to stay.) I had to confront my mom about her pregnancy and she told me about it, one baby has died, and the other is really unhealthy. My mom and I aren't really close because of her boyfriend and I've been kind of mean to her before I found out about her pregnancy, and now I feel bad.
Can any one give me some tips on how to help them through these ro...

I'm 16 years old and I'm just not happy.
I've never had a boyfriend and every guy that I've "talked" to ends up screwing me over,or hurting me badly. Lately,my family has no money ..to the point where we can barely have toilet paper or food or anything and we only have one car,which is falling apart and is old and doesn't even have legal tags so that affects my happiness.

All of my friends that I'm surrounded by have gorgeous houses,nice cars,boyfriends,perfect grades,perfect skin,all of that stuff and it just seems as though I have nothing.I had aspirations to go to a good college because my grades would allow me too but now we may not hav...

impulsive liar?
Posted Saturday November 7 2009, 3:54 pm
I feel like i am an impulsive liar..... i sometimes lie for no reason at all. I lie when it would be easier to tell the truth and when if i tell the truth nothing bad is going to happen to me. it is just like i have to make everything different than it is. someone told me this was called "impulsive lieing" but i can't find anything on the internet about that? is it called something else?
am I the only one who does this? :( I don't want to but i don't know how to stop.

schizophrenia - 17/f
Posted Saturday November 7 2009, 10:42 am
My nana was a schizophrenic and recently passed away. She developed symptoms of it when she was married, which lead to her divorce from my grandfather. Schizophrenia is genetic and my family was scared that my sister was showing signs of having it. She was diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder at age 6 and with proper medication, she's doing fine now (she's 9). Sometimes I get scared that I'm showing signs of having schizophrenia and if not that then some other sort of disorder. I have a horrible anger problem that my family has threated to send me to counselling for, I have been getting panic attacks more often and I've been secretly dealing with bulimia. The reason why I think I may be showing signs of schizophrenia is because before I ...

I'm starting to get annoying to hang out with. I've become dramatic, emotional, and a blabber mouth. I can't keep my problems to myself, I'm so sensitive to everything people say even when they're joking, and I'm not as fun to be around anymore.

What is wrong with me????
Posted Friday November 6 2009, 11:37 am
what is wrong with me? I don't feel like being around anyone at all. It's a friday night and I want to lay down and watch a movie by myself. My friend said she doesnt want to go out wither and drink like usual so instead we planned on making dinner and renting a movie. I dont even feel like being around her even though the idea sounds nice. It's not her it's me I dont feel like socializing lately. When i'm in a social environment I smile but dont know what to say and I get anxious to want to leave. I use to known as a social butterfly but now I want to be left alone. When I am alone sometimes im content becasue I dont have to make an effort to communicate with anyone. Other times I cry because I dont know whats wrong with me.

ANA aka, anorexia.
Posted Tuesday November 3 2009, 12:26 pm
okay. so i am 15/f. i have been free from anorexia for 5 months now. but i think it is coming back. i am starting to act like i used to. anorexia is triggered when there is something bothering you and you use your anorexia to distract yourself from it..it is a coping mechanism. so my depression is coming back as well and i have really low self esteem. and as i am writing this i refuse to eat. i want to lose weight. i feel like i gained so much. not eating is the only way that will make me lose weight the quickest. i just don't care about myself. i feel lonely. i don't understand why i feel this way. i feel crazy sometimes. i feel like i want to be sad and i want to be weak and broken. i have problems.

Does anyone know another way to help me instead of having to take meds

Sorry this may be long but Im in desperate need of advice! Im 18 years old in college and I'm secretly miserable. I feel like I dont fit in with a group even though I have I feel like the only reason why people hang out with me is because I'm very attractive and like to party. I feel that I never say the right thing which causes me to stay quiet in order to keep myself from saying something stupid. When I'm with a group I feel left out of the conversation. People usually dont give me eye contact when they are talking instead they always seem to be talking to someone else. I get nervous when I'm only with one other person becasue I'm not good at holding a conversation. I have struggled with this problem for a while. I see a therapist becasue...
