I'm not a perfectionist but the things that I am best at I hold onto protectively. It's affecting my relationship with others? How do I stop needing to the best? Why do I feel like I need to be the best?

I need some serious advice! I have an 18 year old sister who has a mental problem..well a few days or less before my mom was going to give birth to her my mom had to have surgery and her appendix was taken out. So the drugs that they put inside of my mom affected my sister. But anyway my sister doesnt have the mental capacity to do things like my brothers and i can like reading or being able to do school for her age. That makes her really upset and her anger really comes out. Shes always looking for trouble and starting fights everyday because of this. It gets really scary sometimes because she hurts us or she might try to hurt herself or one of us again. Im christian so i pray about her healing and she has been getting better. But sometimes she starts up again. I just need help on what to do when things get out of hand when my parents arent home.

I am a college student that has taken adderall 4-5 times this semester to study. I do not drink or use any other substance at all. Like most teens these days I have been exposed to binge drinking and marijuana/cannabis but unlike many, decided both were better off not in my life. I do not have an addictive personality and never want to become dependent on a drug, but I must say that adderall was almost incredible. In elementary school I wouldn't pay attention and was constantly bored with class, yet tested in the 99% percentile on most standardized tests. I was switched into a gifted program through middle school and then returned to my home high school. I have never found school to be interesting but haven't considered ADD because my problem was written off as a lack of stimulation. Anyways, I found school to be extremely engaging when taking adderall, and found my usually pessimistic self to be optimistic. Would occasional use of this drug at low levels cause any long term effects?

First off, I know and realize that Im better off than alot of people, so then I ask myself, WHY do I feel like a total mess?!?! It just doesnt make sense. The last time I remember being truly happy was when I was 9. Im 20 now and things feel like the same old drowning routine. I know it has alot to do with circumstances, like at that point of my life, we moved all the way across state, new everything. It's like with the move, I left myself there. I feel even more horrible when I try to talk to my parents about how sad and hopeless I feel. All they ever say is that I need to stop being stupid and get working on what I need to do to get on with life. They completely shut me off, sending me even worse off. I dont want to be the typical "emo", "I hate myself!" person, but I just cant control my feelings. My parents always say that Im inconsiderate, irritable, rude, mean, selfish, ungrateful, etc. I love them so much, but I cant show them my love when all they do is look down on me........

I am depressed and Suicidal, I am going to tell what the problems are. I remember when I was in school I had tons of friends, but Never a girlfriend, I have never had a relationship, I feel no one loves me, My mom and dad say they do, but that’s only because they made me. I have no friends, I never leave the house and every night I cry myself to sleep. I often think about ending it with a cup of bleach. I know the worst night will be my 18th birthday. At night I hear my consents telling me that, “No one loves me”, “you should just end it”, “18 years an never even a date? Your pathetic”, and so on like that. Is there something really that wrong with me? I think I did pretty well considering how I was raised. Please tell me I’m not the only one feeling like this, and or in the same social situation. Please, Every night for the past 2 weeks have been borderline to unlivable. I got black rings around my eyes from lack of sleep. Anyone out there that can relate? Man or woman.
Thnx 4 ur time

I am now going out with the girl I've had a crush on for years, but I still feel hollow and depressed about how my life isn't turning out like it should, I don't think both of these feelings can coexist, can they?

my sister is 17 years old and depressed. only she denies being depressed. everyone else sees it, though. it shows on her face; she never smiles, and she has this look of strain on her face 24/7! it looks like someone punched her in the stomach! she says she can't genuinely be happy until she graduates high school, and gets a job. i keep telling her she should be happy w/ herself, first and foremost. babies aren't born w/ jobs, but they have the right to be happy! i think she has low self-esteem, which is weird b/c she's very smart, and super-talented and everyone likes her. she was a happy child growing up, but then she became a teenager and that all came to an end! her teachers and her pediatrician say she'd benefit from therapy, but she's dead set against it. i don't want to force her to do anything she isn't comfortable with. she has a lot going for her, but seems like nothing's good enough. how do you get a moralistic teenager to smile and be happy?

When my partner touches me, my skin burns and crawls unpleasantly. I can't breath or think, I just want to flee. It is really horrible. Being touched with fingertip is the worst. Being touched impersonally (such as bumping into strangers on the bus) does not bother me in the least. But being touched by someone I care for deeply is intolerable, and I constantly struggle to hide the way I react.

No, I have not been abused as a kid.

No, it is not because my parter is not right for me, this has happened with all my previous partners too. It is like a wall, or an invisible box I cannot escape.
