I feel so ugly every time I look in the mirror. It's rare that I find myself pretty or attractive. My friends tell me I'm beautiful, but I can never believe them because all I see is my horrible flaws.
I've tried so hard to raise my self esteem, but it never works out. Everytime I look at one of my friends I feel so depressed that I'm not as pretty or as good as them.
Please help!

Every day I wish this, for some reason a humming bird of striking orange and red ...........
has anyone else felt the same... not in the same bird, but just wanting to flock off?

alright this has been nagging at the back of my mind for a while..... sometimes, when i have freaky dreams, or come in contact with certain things from my childhood, i'll get this.....flash.....it's hard to explain. it's not quite a memory, more like a hint of a memory....a very bad memory.... i've always ignored it, but recently my friend was looking at a list of the effects of sexual abuse on children, and notice that my personality fits quite well into that of a survivor of sexual abuse....i'm rather unnerved by this, any suggestions?

I can't seem to communicate or think correctly and I often make stupid mistakes. If i meant to say "Apple" I'd accidentally say something like "Orange." If I was talking to my friend "Mark," I would address him with the names of my other friends, like "Jon" or "Lisa." Often, I don't even notice until much later or when my friends give me a weird look. Also, my memory has been poor and I forget things very easily.
I have a guess on why this is happening to me.
This school year has been very hard for me. I've never been able to manage my time well so I've been living the year through VERY irregular sleep and stress.
And I recently joined the Swim team and thats been making things worse. I feel so famished after every practice.
It was after I joined Swim that i started noticing i was making these mistakes.
I'm not sure if my lack of sleep or sudden increase in physical activity is to blame but Its affecting my social and academic life and I am very scared.
What is happening to me? Why?

Somedays I feel really unattractive, unintelligent, boring, dull...etc. I feel like I have nothing to say. I worry about people asking me questions because I feel that I will say something stupid. I'm in college now. I thought by now I wouldn't have these problems, but they still remain buried inside of me. I see a psychologist, doesn't really help. I feel like a loner, but I am always socializing. I don't easily trust people. I feel akward and strange at times. Where do I belong? Sometimes I think I will settle for anyone who I feel comfortable around because so many times I feel so uncomfortable around someone I truly like. I'm weird, different, stupid. That's how I see myself. What to do?

I enjoy cutting myself so I don't understand why some people complain about it. In fact, I hope to build up a lot of resistence to feeling pain or being afraid of blood. Its a challenge of sorts to test one's limits about courage.
It also helps to be strongly motivated by lots of people who hate you anyways. So everyone wins one way or another. I just don't see that there' s anything wrong with cutting as long as you use clean and sharp objects.

Please tell me the good and the bad! I need to know side effects and if they went away. Also, did the med help your problem. Drawbacks? Saving graces?

Specifically, did you have sleep disturbances or weight gain/ loss?

SCHOOL SUCKS! TEACHERS SUCK! EVERYTHING SUCKS!LIFE SUCKS! I am not trying to offend anybody. I am just so depressed all the time now! I hate it! I am only 13 and already ready to leave (life) and give up. I have allways been a perfectionist. YEAH NOT WORKING ANYMORE! I screw up too people! My friends and family and teachers have always thought I have been as close to perfect as you can get. I hate that because I am not. THEN, my reading teacher is the only person that has noticed I was depressed. I was happy because for once someone noticed I was not Miss Perfect. I know I am not. I told her I was fine though. She sent me to the counselor anyway. I told her I was fine too. She let me go because I would't break down and talk. Now I wish they would ask me again because NOW I want help. At the time (4 months ago) I hadn't had too much of a problem. A small one but it has gotten so much worse I am very shy. I am scared to just go up to that teacher and tell her the truth. more...

it happens to so many people...do why arent we more open about it? it would be so much easier for survivors if people talked about it as a regular thing, insted of keeping the topic hidden.

how long did it take you or some one you knwo to get past rape/molesation trama?

why do fathers, uncles, and grandfathers rape girls in their family?

have never been a very helping person and when I think I will try to help somebody it turns out that they don't want what i think they need or am giving them, or they don't even seem to appreciate it at all, sometimes they even thank others, it just seems like a waste of time to try to help people, I am not a selfish person, I would really help if I thought it would do any good.

Sometimes I seriously think I am bipolar because I go from being depressed to extremely happy for no reason at all. My Dad is bipolar so there is a possibility I might have it; however, I am only 14 so it could just be hormones. What are some of the signs?

i got back from iraq in december of 2005. i saw quite a few things that disturbed me. i have seen the military doctors and they tell me that i have ptsd but on my military records they deny any sign of it, i feel that the army is completely disregarding my wellbeing as a human and strictly treating me as a government machine like i have been trained to be. i am on celexa now and still have temper problems and become very impatient at everyday things. my wife and i are struggling for a way to compensate for my condition...military is not helping, please give knowledgable advice. mancan92@hotmail.com

I'm coming out the movies when all of a sudden, everything I see has to do with a 69!
example:
my car now has 69111 miles.
Gas for my car is $2.69 a gallon.
The license plates of the car in front of me was 654. 5+4=9... 69
When I look at how fast I was going I was going 69 mph.
Lastly, when I look at the radio, it was 6:54! once again 5+4=9 thus having the # 69 again...

I then think to myself, is this a symbol? Why does everything I see right now equal 69? Please, someone help me!!!

The evening is when I become most aware of how lonely I feel. Thoughts of ending things usually occur at night and are gone by morning. So, I wonder if there is some trend among suicide victims that shows more suicides at night than in the day time...
