i have OCD and have had it as long as i can remember. i struggle with many aspects of this disorder but the one plaguing me right now is worrying about my daughter while she is away from me for the weekend.
her dad (we are divorced) took her to chicago for the weekend, and i feel so out of control when she is not with me. i worry about her every second. i am a wreck. next week is her 13th bday and i am taking her on a trip that we are soo excited about. but i cant stop imagining something terrible happening while she is away from me this weekend.
can anyone relate? and what helps you stop the obsessing?
thanks

a while ago, i did this screening thing online to see if i was depressed. it said according to what my answers were, i was depressed and it warned me to go to a doctor before i hurt myself. and i'm starting to think it might be right..i hate my life and i hate living, sometimes i just wish i would die..but at the same time, i dont think i'm depressed. sometimes im happy, i like my friends family (kinda) and boyfriend. but my friends seem to be getting farther and farther apart from me, as well my family and boyfriend. i love them all, but i'd be happier not living, you know what i mean? im not saying i'm going to kill myself, please dont take it the wrong way. the symptoms for stress and depression are kinda the same but i dont understand why i'd be depressed or stressed.
so what do you think? am i mistakin stress for depression?
what should i do?

ok basis of the story is that i have an eating disorder and I finally built up the strength to tell my mum about 6-8 months ago..her reaction was terrible...calling me a failure etc and she hasn't dealt with it too well since. I askedher not to tell the rest of the family. I begged her infact..and she said she wouldn't (we used to be very close)...today i opened my bedroom door and heard my mum talking to my dad about me, in a pretty nasty tone about my eating disorder and I am pretty sure she said something about my brother knowing....I feel/felt sooo betrayed, I don't think i can ever trust her again. She doesn't know I heard her and I don't want to confront her because then if my dad or brother know that I know about them, they may start questioning me and I'm not up for that!

I know many of you will reply or at least think that she was only worried about me but the way she talks about it, she doesn't understand and I tried so hard to talk to her about it when i first told her!

well, i only have a few friends, but we really don't talk much or do nething outside of school, so i guess they really aren't friends, but i talk to them. and then my parents, they don't ifght or nething, and they still live together, but their SO BORING!! they never talk, never do anything. they only talk to me about school, and my brother has problems of his own that i really don't care about, i talk more to my BIRD!! yes, my bird, than my family. I have NO emotional support, if i told my parents about my depression i think they'd just laugh and say i'm overreacting, but really, they barly know me! I know i need help with my depression, but i just don't know how to get it. Any advice???

I woke up this morning and I was hold candy in my left hand. I knew that I was not supposed to be holding it, and I crumbled it to see that it was real. It felt very real. But I do not recall holding candy before falling asleep.
3 minutes later, I though I woke up and there was no candy in my hands. But I thought that I could still feel the fragments of it in my bed.
I got up and looked for the fragments and there was no evidence of the candy.
But I woke in exactly the same position that I was in, in the so called dream, how did I know that I was in that position?
When I woke, there was no sleep inertia as if I had woke. Maybe I closed my eyes.

I got up and felt normal.

I know that I had toothache before going to sleep and pain has a funny effect on me.

If I drempt that I woke up, then why is it that I co-incidentally woke up 3 minutes later? This does not appear to be me still dreaming now?

Is this some kind of LSD trip?

I think I may have some kind of mental disorder..
I'm not really sure what kind.

Here are some.. tendencies.. I have:
-Extremely irritable.
-Long periods of depression, long periods of extreme happiness.
-When depressed, I cry for no specific reason.
-I get dizzy easily.
-I always feel tired and weak.
-Sometimes I feel like I have to throw up.
-HORRIBLE anxiety over the smallest things.
-Sometimes I get really weird. Like, I'll start thinking about my mom and I'll get really worried about her, even though she's safe. So I might do weird things. Ever heard of "step on a crack, break your mother's back"?
-If I start thinking about it, I cannot do simple things such as blink normally or breathe normally for hours.
-I often over think things. I can't hear someone talk with out wondering about their entire life.
-I have trouble concentrating. Constantly doodling, etc.

I'm fourteen and a freshman.
Help! What could be WRONG with me?!

I worry, worry, worry. I have a lot of anxiety in my life. I constantly worry that I'm going to lose my girlfriend even though there is no indication of that in our relationship. I worry that I'm going to end up like my mom who died miserable. I worry about my job, my finances, etc. I just don't know how to cope, and I really need help because I'm starting to have panic attacks. I try to think positive, but it doesn't work. Has anyone went through this type of problem and overcame it? I have an appointment with a therapist on February 23rd, and yesterday I went to the doctor and he prescribed wellbutrin for me. I haven't told anyone that I worry as much as I do because I'm afraid it's going to make me seem weak. I especially don't want to burden my gf with these problems because I want her to know that I'm capable of being a good father. I have no self confidence, and I've been through a lot of hardships throughout my life, especially in my childhood. Please HELP!

It makes me feel sick when people insist to photograph me, and i wanna die when i see the pictures.

Every time i know there's gonna be a camera around, i always tell or beg people that i don't want my photo taken, but i'm never taken seriously ( story of my life). They usually photograph me when i not supsecting it, then they put them in emails or use them in msn display pictures

I know i probably sounds like a moody *****, but if they knew how i feel when i have my photo taken and then when i see it; they stop.

I hate seeing who and what i've become, i wish with all my heart i could change but i can't.

My birthday is coming up, i know they are gonna want to take photos of me, and i'm scared. I don't to cry or freak out.

What should i do about it??????????????????????
