How do you stop your brain from doing something like thinking about a stupid idea that makes you nervous when you know the idea has no basis in reality, but it is so deeply engrained that It keep reappearing over and over. Every once in a while an idea will pop in my head that makes me very self concious, such as "oh no their going to think.. this is or that" then I will start acting different to compensate for this thought, thus making other people nervous.but at the same time my higher brains feels like I really don't care!! It's like an automatic idea my brain thinks, then I think, this is stupid.. but it still makes me feel uncomfortalbe. How do I stop retarded thoughts? Why am I cursed with the stupid stuff that doesn't matter , even popping into my head? I just hope I will have more control over my thoughts as I get older, but I am already 24.. I just want my brain to be okay with me no matter what anyone thinks, but It's like it doesn't feel it can stand on its own! Help

I was really anxious about going to work today because I thought I might be fired or something, so I was really stressed out and sad and mad and the only thing that helped me calm down was cutting on my left arm. Then I went to see a girl I liked and her boyfriend came in and I felt so awful that as soon as I got home out came the box cutter. All of the drugs I take now for it doesn't work very well, because it's older drugs since my insurance makes me pay too much for the newer, more effective drugs that I can't afford.. My whole left arm is one massive scar from the shoulder to the wrist from where I've been cutting for years now. My boss told me that if she saw anymore cuts on my forearm, I'd have to wear long sleeve shirts to work because it upsets people. Now I cut on my upper arm so a short sleeves shirt hides the cuts. I have hospital bills out the *** and I have no money and I'm so alone all the time. Please help. I'm tired of hating myself.

What I've learned about my ex is she was baby sitting for her favorite uncle (him 30,her 15) and i guess he hadn't left yet or something, and they were wrestling on the bed?Next thing you know hes inside her she freezes and doesn't move (or protest apperantly)she goes home doesn't say a word to anyone and goes BACK the next night to babysit!!She claims to have started playing with herself when she was 5!She also said she had sex with an older man when she was 15, before or after the"rape" i'm not sure.She only came forth a year later when they were going to expel her from school because her grades were so bad. I know it was from drugs but she said it was on account of her "nightmares about her uncle.I beleive she thought she could confide in the school counselor and it would go no further than that. But the s.c. was legally obligated to tell her parents/police.Not long after i divorce she wanted me to force myself on her. I think she's nuts, opinions?

I live in nyc, and I always skip a crowded train,bus,elevator .. anything because ive had grown men caress,grab,cup my bottom and honestly press up against me while i have my back to them. It's ok if its a mistake its crowded and everyone is pressed together. Some guys respect you and make the effort to stand back to back or front to front. But in some instances ive had guys deliberatly go behind me and press on me. once a guy got *over exited and his swell made me feel like the most disgusting person. I yelled at him to back up and his respond was "I can't" because it was crowded and he got of before I could say anything. I spend the whole week feeling dirty or violated and its just not right. and they always get away with it WHY do some guys feel like thats OK!!

When I meet people I always judge them, even if I like them and we are friends. Could this be my ocd( obsessive compulsive disorder)? Getting obsessed about people and what they do, etc? I just got diagnosed a month ago and I'm still learning about it and how to deal with it. Does anyone else who has ocd do this?? I don't understand why I do this when I actually like people! Please no stupid or immature answers!

I live in arizona and I need to know where to get tested for bipolar disorder in the phoenix area. Whenever I try to look it up online all I get is the symptoms and info about medicine but I don't need any of that info right now, all I need to know is where to get tested and I don't have a specific doctor so I was wondering if there was a clinic or something like that that I can go to? Thank you for your help!

I have written on this site regarding a friends son who's been suffering from manic depression about l5 years possibly(Bipolar)he has all the symptoms.His depressive states are getting longer,he has cut himself off from his family saying he just wants to be alone and doesn't want to talk to anyone.He has suicidal thoughts all the time and says,every day he wakes up feeling empty and in hell.He has rejected anti-depressants,says they do nothing(but has only taken them for a few days).He has no self worth,can't mix with people.Was recently emotionally slaughtered in a relationship which has completely wiped out any self esteem he may have built up.Anyone out there who can tell us what to do next.He can't see any help out there.His parents are so desperate,sectioning him is being considered,as he won't go willingly for help and they fear for his safety.Anyone been there,what happened to you and how did you get help.They don't want to section him but don't know what else to do.

I am 13. I have pimples ALL over my face. And I am 25 pounds over weight. I am losing the wieght slowly, but the acne won't go. I have tried Proactive, Clean & Clear, and Clear Pore. When I walk past a mirror in the mall, all I can think about how fat I am. When I am in a public place and someone looks at me I feel like they are staring at my acne. I won't go swimming if I have to take my shirt off. Only about 5% of the people at my school have acne. I don't like to eat in front of people, because all I can think about is them saying, "He is so fat, why is he eating." I here people talk behind other peoples backs about how fat they are. And sometime I wonder what they say about me. What can I do to feel better about myself?
