I use to cut myself quit badly when I was 14 and 15. I was silly doing it and looking back I realize it only made evey thing worse.

I know this is a weird thing to ask, but lately I've been chewing the inside of my mouth. Well not really lately but I kind of just noticed and thought something of it.

I seem to do it when I'm sad or nervous.

So is this self harm, similar to cutting?

for those of you with schitsofrenia what is the disease like for you and what help if any does the medication provide you?

I don't wanna face dealing with her. She's gonna come to my house & try to tell me how to live my life & try to control me. & she looks for reasons to call me irresponsible for no reason. She wants me to stay in a DEPENDENT state of mind & she told me that I will one day get into some serious trouble not asking for help & trying to do things on my own. & also, she said that the next time she sees me, I better have a relaxer/perm in my hair & I better look nice. Why do I have to dress up nice for this lady? Her job is to help me REGARDLESS & not judge me based on my looks.

I have several weird habits that I never thought about. I was reading an article about eating disorders, self mutilation, and OCD and how you can have more then one at the same time. (I'm anorexic and a self mutilator).
So when I'm driving in the car with someone I'll breath in when we go past drive ways and breath out when we go past grass. Also, I refuse to do anything six times. I do it seven times. It's illogical but I feel like I'm opening myself up to something evil if I land on six. I can't only do it one or two times though I've tried, I get a bad feeling. If I knock on something, I do it seven times. I also do patterns with my breathing when I'm just sitting there or doing anything, the same with swallowing. I find all these things very strange but I never really though about them. Could I be OCD, and if so, what do I do about it? Or am I just overreacting?

After years of abusing myself with drugs and alcohol, I stopped and have returned to college and have a 4.0 GPA. I have a beautiful home and a new car to drive to feel safe. I have really turned my life around. Ok that is the good part. What I need advice on is this.....In order for me to become sober and concentrate on me, I had to eliminate the people I was hanging with and now have no one around to talk to. I have no family members and sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode when I just need someone to hear me and support me. The friends I do have live in different cities and most of them are all pregnant and are living their life. Where can I find support or what is a good place to meet others? Bars are the type of places I do not want to be around. Living sober is just new to me and I need ideas on positive things to do. Please help me so I can now find some sober people to be friends with. Thank you all.

Sometimes I worry I have bipolar disease. I don't have serious mood swings. I'm happy most of the time, and every once in a while I go into these really sad/depressed moments where I don't want to be around anyone and I just cry. These last for a few days, and then I'm happy again. But when I'm happy I'm not crazy happy, just normal. It's just when I'm sad I get really sad and everything bothers me and makes me cry. I know people with bipolar and their symptoms are a lot more aggressive then mine. But is it possible to have a minor case of bipolar? Or does anyone know what could be wrong? Or is this normal?

thank you

People are always getting emotional, it's making me sick. I do anything I want, because I don't care if I die, I'll die anyways. I'm never emotional, love is only a word. Feelings only get in the way for me. I'm violent and greedy. But I don't want to change. I acknowledge that I'm not normal, but I like being this way. I have no fear, pretty much.

I'm very narcissistic and nasty to everyone, at least that's what I've been told. I just think I'm being a realist. I don't have many negative influences, really, so I have no reason to be mean. In my eyes, I can control anyone, however I want to. Especially if they have any visible flaws.

This is bad, no doubt. At least, to alot of people it's bad.
I want to know if this is a disorder.
A real disorder, something I can't fake for attention.

Send me some tests, but don't explain what the disorder might be. And don't tell me to "go to a therapist". I'm not going to do it.

so for the last 3ish years i'v thought alot about sucide. thoughts like "whats the ponit if we all die any way", some some-what morbid but realist kind of thoughts. but in october a 3 year relationship with my girlfreind ended... after that, all those sucidal thoughts became worse... (i'm not uneducated, i'v taken enought psycology classes to know i was depressed). i stated doing some really dumb stuff. 40+ cuts at one time, drinking while alone to the point of nearly passing out, took enought pain relavers in 20 mienuts to last me 4 days acording to the bottle. allll of that whent unnoticed by the other 5 people living in my 1.5 floor house. most of that lasted for a few months but ended.

my problem is i constantly feel the urge to cut myself. i nearly cry myself to sleep al msot every night for what seams like no aparent reason. i always feel like if i just grabbed that razor again everything would be better. what should i do? who can i call?

Now, my cousin has this service dog named Honey, and we're trying to tell my mother, who states that because she may not be able to get an apartment that allows 'pets' she can't take the dog with her, that those places will, in fact, allow Honey into the building. Which here is right, guys? Will the Service dog, which as my cousin states is deemed more as an alternative source of medicine than a pet, be allowed in a place that does not allow pets or not?

K long story short.

Im 17, male
Finished off this school year with great marks
Have a great girlfriend
Got a new job that i really like
Pretty much have a great life at the moment

But im not feeling like myself lately... Usually im spontaneous and random, blurting out funny things and just not giving a care about what other people think. But (for no apparent reason) now im very concious about what i say. I over-think everything too much, mostly if what im saying is funny or not and if my friends will like me? even though i know im fine and that my friends will like me/laugh anyways.

Im not sad, yet im not entirely happy. Its like im just in neutral or something. I used to have a mild depression before but i know its not depression anymore. I dont know what to do to relax / get back to my old self.

I took my 16 yr old child to a psychologist who gestimated her maturity at about 12 yrs old. She is not retarded or autistic. He told me she was highly manipulative and to protect myself from it.
A judge ordered custody to her dad when she was 10 and he had her for 5 yrs after she told a big fat lie. I ended up with a crooked attorney who just wanted $$ and was not willing to help me in any way. Her older brother stayed with me.
She just quit her job at Walmart after having a fling with the manager. Not allowed. They fired him.
She wrote his and her name all over the walls in the bathroom of the walmart store along with hearts and love things.
She is almost 20 yrs old and has no job or money and she thinks this guy are going to live on love. He clearly does not know what she did. She has been staying every second of every day with him and I imagine he would like for her to get a plan.
I am at a loss as to what to do. I dont want her back home. What do I say or do?

I just started crying, shaking, and breathing uncontrollably. I feel so stupid for everyone seeing me freak out like that. I've only been working there for 2 weeks. Should I see a doctor? What should I do?

I'm duel and rolling in college in a few weeks, and i'm worried sick about weather or not i'm going to do well. My mom puts a lot of pressure on me, which doesn't help, and my dad doesn't care. Please give me some comforting words about college, or about how to decreasing stress. Either one would be great.

for past few months i have had frequent, sometimes daily, thoughts of suicide. these consist of how i would, wot wd be most effective, consequences of success or failure, impact on others.
i dont believe myself to be depressed and i have no intention of killing myself, no idea why i have these thoughts.
recently my 4 closest friends told me i had changed, become irritable, distant, unapproachable and angry.
i do not recognise this in mself other than my friends have been irritating me more.
the only other change is my sleep but its always weird!
i dont know how to start a dialogue about this with a doctor and scared they will say im depressed when i dont feel depressed!

Ok, So almost two years I moved away from my home town and it was about 6 months into my anxiety disorder, but at the time I had no problems with traveling. For the last year travel has been impossible, I even tried it back in march, and it is only a 6 hour drive from where I live now to where I used to live. I got 2 hours away from my destination and freaked out and had to get my bf to turn the car around and take me home. BUT tomorrow I have an opportunity to go up there for a week but am so scared I am going to go through this panic again this time. any tips to help me get there? also I have som pretty weird stomach problems due to stress and anxiety and I keep thinking that I am going to get up there but I am going to end up really sick and unable to come home, because I am terrified of the car when my belly starts acting up. ughhh
