Finding a new counselor!
Posted Friday October 25 2024, 5:16 pm
So here it goes I was at the doctor's office yesterday seeing my therapist and she tells me she's leaving and starting her business as certified counselor and hands me a flier to her business that's not all she did she asked me if I wanted to schedule an appointment with her at her practice without thing I said yes because I really do like her . The problem is when I home I saw red flags that I didn't notice before like she wouldn't give me the address of her business she said she didn't want to disclose that information right now and she would calle regarding that info. Is it legal to ask for clients while working for another company on their time? I also had just got out of the psychiatric hospital if that helps any the week before.

I am horrified I might be a bad person
Posted Thursday June 6 2024, 12:34 am
Me and my sister (both teenage girls, she is 2 years older than me) were shopping together with our mother the other day. I looked at her ass with no actual thought in it, just observing what was around me basically, but my brain started to fixate on the fact that I did that and I started internally yelling at myself for it, but because I was thinking about it I kept looking at her ass over and over. It really did not mean anything, I don’t look at people in that way because I really don’t care but I’m so scared that I am disgusting, that I might subconsciously be attracted to my sister even though I know I’m not and the idea grosses me out. I feel so horrible for looking there, she’s my sister, I never should have looked even tho...

I can’t get over what I did in my past, what do I do?
Posted Thursday May 9 2024, 6:41 am
I’m a girl 14 years old turning 15 soon, if it is relevant I’m autistic and have anxiety, and I’ve recently been in a depressed spiral, I barely get out of bed at all except for to go to the bathroom and if I have to get out for anything then I end up just crying, I don’t want to eat anything either. The reason for this is because in my recent past (like 2020-2022 maybe 2023 I can’t remember, I might have done it before 2020 too) I looked at inappropriate stuff of underage fictional characters, like anime and stuff like that. I’m so disgusted and ashamed of myself, it wasn’t only underage characters and it didn’t reflect my actual thoughts obviously, I never felt like that towards any real children I’m not a predator and I...

Wanted Help For Anxiety
Posted Wednesday August 9 2023, 10:19 pm
Hello, I'm a female in my 20s. I've been having anxiety off and on for most of my life. It started getting worse when I moved to a new town where I only knew a few people. It's an unfamiliar place to me and I started to feel anxious whenever I would leave the house. I decided to finally get help so I went to see a doctor and explained the situation to her. After talking to her for a while she said something that kind of offended me. She said she feels like I'm withholding information. It seemed like she was trying to search for a bigger reason why I might be having anxiety, even though I just told her what it was. I felt like she was judging me or accusing me of hiding something. Why would I withhold information if I'm coming to her for hel...

Coping with envy
Posted Tuesday May 9 2023, 9:27 pm
I am a 31 yo woman and married. My husband is a research scholar in USA and I am doing my PhD in Europe. Initially I moved to US with him and had a very happy and comfortable life. The honeymoon phase of marriage went well for almost 2years and then he decided to move back to our home country to pursue his dream career in academia. I, on the other hand got admission in a very nice PhD program and moved to EU and started living apart from my husband. I let him know how I want to see our future in US, so he applied to several places in the US. However, due to covid and recession, he could not secure an academic position there and got a great position in an eminent institute back home. He doesn’t want to sacrifice his dream career of an acad...

Is this normal?

I'm a 16 year old girl and I'm really attracted to a boy I know who just turned 13. Is it normal to be attracted to someone so much younger? I admit I'm scared that this makes me some kind of pervert or something.

An insecure past that eating me away
Posted Tuesday January 25 2022, 6:40 pm
Hello, I am a 28yo, Indian married woman living abroad with my husband. I had a past before my marriage. I had a full fledged affair with a married office colleague in my previous office in India. Nobody apart from my best friend knows about this. At that time, my current husband was interested in me and tried to convince me into a relationship (he was in the UK and I was in India at that time, so mostly it was a long distance relationship and he was so busy with his studies that he wasn't able to give me time regularly, we hardly spoke or Skype each other,many times it happened so that we didn't speak weeks and even months at a stretch). I was growing impatient and doubting if this relationship was going to work or not. He seemed pretty ir...

How does one deal with living with a messed up illness?
Posted Monday December 6 2021, 3:57 pm
How does one deal with an illness that is so depressing, that you'd rather be dead than live with this shit?
My thing isn't gonna kill me, but, I may end up killing myself because of it. A year or 2 ago, I was planning on it, I even had a bridge picked out to jump off of. Its fucked up, I don't want to be in that mental state again. It could cost me my life. Now things are better, (location and financially) but now that this fucked up disease reared its ugly head again, after it was gone for a while, Those ugly, destructive thoughts are coming back. Back then, I didn't do it because it would crush my mom if I killed myself. But my mom is dead now, so I dunno, I'm kinda scared of what I might do to myself if this disease kee...

Posted Monday November 1 2021, 11:22 pm
My name is Svetlana and I am 28 years old. I live with my old parents and take care of them. My dad is old and it hard for me to deal with his personality. Lately, he humiliates me and my mom, he is rude to us and sometimes screams at us. He forgets everything, always angry and never satisfited with anything. I understand that he is really old now and deals with a lot of pain, maybe even with depression but it's hard for me not to take his words and actions to heart. My mom also takes it to heart and I always calm her down, I'm like her psychologist. But I'm hiding my own pain deep inside and I cry a lot when no one sees me.I have severe anxiety and sleep disorder already five years. My dads dramas costs me nights of not sleeping or having ...

Horrific, (but benign) sexual problems.
Posted Friday July 9 2021, 11:15 am
I'm 41/m. and for years, I've had this nightmarish condition of bleeding from my junk from getting aroused. I don't even have to ejaculate. NOPE, just some blood in my junk causes bleeding, most of the time. The urologist just plays it off as benign and "you'll be fine." But if I can't even get an erection without bleeding, how the hell am I supposed to ever have sex again?!?!??. And the doctors say "no big deal, go home". Let alone sex..., can't even clean the pipes once in a while! It generally doesn't hurt. But what hurts 10000 times more, is that I can't get my jollies, mostly, ever. And , that fucking kills me Psychologically. At this point, I'd be better off being impotent. I could understand some super old dude ha...

Autism and fireworks!
Posted Monday June 28 2021, 8:24 pm
So I found out that I was Autistic a few months ago and loud noises bother me especially fireworks and I was wanting to try to go to this year and I am already preparing for a lot of people and for the noise, but my main concern is the fact that the fireworks look like their falling on me . I know there not but it just seems like it . I just want to be able to enjoy it like everyone else and not be scared. I haven't been able to go since I was 12 and I am now 32. I want to be able to accomplish this and get over fear. My mom says why don't you just watch the neighbors do their fireworks that way you can back inside if it scares you because they do them every year ,but I hate missing the big Annual fireworks because of my fear. What does everyone else think?

The outside world just feels bad
Posted Sunday June 13 2021, 4:07 pm
20/M
I'm a pretty social person. In the sens I feel comfortable with people and with large groups.
However something frets me a bit. I don't like going out. Oftentime when I go out I'm just thinking how much I'd like to be home where I do everything I want to and daydream as much as I want.
And this is pretty confusing because this is not by spending your days home you live life right ? You end up getting stuck in a rut maybe ?
And I've been trying to force myself to stay a bit longer each time. But I generally end up feeling burned out even more. And just like I don't fit in and that it's just not for me. From the outside nobody sees that of course but this can be pretty draining.

Friends say I shouldn't feel so guilty but I do
Posted Friday June 11 2021, 5:06 pm
17/F here. Earlier this year, I finally stood up to this girl who'd been bullying me ever since we were freshmen. We were at school, in the hallway on the second floor. She was mocking me when I finally lost it and did what I'd been dreaming of doing for awhile now. I hauled off and punched her in the face. She went reeling back towards the stairs, fell down them, and broke her arm in the fall to the landing below.
I was expelled and had to finish out the school year at a private school that was willing to take me in the middle of a semester. I was also arrested and charged with assault. My parents have hired me a lawyer and he's managed to work out a deal that'll have me serving a month in juvie.

Am I depressed or overreacting?
Posted Sunday March 28 2021, 7:39 pm
I'm 15 and a sophomore in high school, and this whole time, I felt like the pandemic never really affected me this entire time, but recently I saw a video and in that video a Chinese woman, like me, was saying how she was actually really depressed in high school and never realized, and it made me think. After a few months of the pandemic, I think, is when it really started. I never want to get out of bed in the mornings, but I don't want to go to sleep at night. I stay up really late because I don't want to wake up the next day. I don't want to play tennis or practice the piano or hang out with my best friend. I didn't really keep in contact with any of my school friends except for my best friend who lives down the street. She sometimes dra...

Is it weird that I actually want to be grounded?
Posted Sunday March 28 2021, 6:05 pm
Hi. I'm a 16 y/o girl. I guess you could say I'm generally a pretty good kid. I've never been in any major trouble. So, I've never been grounded. Most of my friends, on the other hand, have been grounded at least once in their lives. I'm actually curious as to what it's like. Like, to the degree that I find myself daydreaming about what I could do to get myself grounded so I can finally find out. Am I weird for doing this? I'm sure my friends would think I'm psycho. What do you think?
