Am 28 year old guy. I have no friends. I've never had a girlfriend.

Am a short guy (5'4) and skinny. I also have poor health.

Girls think I'm handsome, but most of them don't want to be with me since I'm short. Even the girls shorter than me.

My life is pointless and lonely. I honestly don't care about suicide, but my family is what keeps me from doing it.

I can't see how my situation can improve. Everyone else is enjoying life, but I will never find someone because I'm being punished for this crime.

What is the point of this life when you get rejected time and time again for something you had not control of?

Ok so Ive been having this disorder since I was in 5th grade and now Im a shophmore in highschool. Its driving me crazy and lately it seems like its getting worse. I have the one where I have to repeate things a number of times until its just right. No one knows I have it and I want to talk to my doctor about it but I feel kind of embarrased and I dont want to go to therapy and have to talk about it. So my question to you guys is how do you cope and deal with it. Any other info you have would be greatly appresciated.Thanks in advance.

Whenever I'm having a problem or feeling depressed, I avoid talking to friends. They call me, but I take a long time to call them back, if at all. Usually I'd prefer to be alone, partly because I'm too proud to let people know that I'm hurting. I also don't want to burden others with my problems. I sense that this isn't the way to maintain stable friendships. How can I change? I know this is destructive behavior, but how do I motivate myself to talk to others when I don't want to? Please help.

Is it normal to talk to yourself to have conversations with people who exist, in your head? That sounds awful but there's no good way to say it. I mean, I have a friend named Aprille. Is it normal for me to have a conversation with her in my head? It wouldn't be a problem except I mouth the words I'm saying, so other people notice. It's still not really a problem.. I just want to know if it's normal. I also talk to myself out load sometimes, like when I'm mad or whatever I just mumble to myself sort of.. is it normal?

I've been with my b-f for a year and a half. At first, I thought he was just super excitable at times, or just had trouble remembering things, or concentrating. As we've gotten closer he's confided in me that he was treated for ADD when he was younger (he's 29 now) but he stopped taking meds in high school.

Sometimes you can't even tell, but other times he'll get so excited when he's talking he'll just talk super fast, so much so that you can't understand him. He also has a hard time concentrating and organizing his thoughts, tasks, etc.

He says there are things he can do to ease the ADD like drinking or smoking weed, he says it calms him down and helps him concentrate. Obviously, not the greatest remedies. He refuses to go back and see a doc, he says, "There's nothnig wrong with me."

Is there anything else that might help him? Mental exercises? Herbal remedies? Anything?

Thanks

I have lost contact with my friends since April because I was being homeschooled. Before that I went to public school and had anxiety then to. It just got so bad that I got homeschooled for the rest of the school year. Now I am going back to public school this week and I am very nervous! What do I tell my friends what happened to me. They probably think I have been missing for the past 5 months lol. What do I tell them? Also what can I do to help me calm down for the first day of school. I start in two days! Thanks

The forth nation has no homeland. There is a true group called the bipolar outsiders who have been born again . What do you think? Can we ever find a place to call our own that is not patroled by doctors with drugs.

I just broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years. I'm 23 years old and I'm devastated. Basically he went home to get the engagement ring (his hometown is 1000 miles away) and when he came back with the ring he broke up with me. I'm 17 weeks pregnant with his twins and am on antidepressants, but i can't get over it...I can't let it go...I feel horrible all the time, and the fact that he dumped me because "physically i would never be his type, but he still loves me"...is confusing, and killing me...I don't know what to do..I feel lost and scared and alone and I just want to die...I know this isn't normal...and I need help...

I have caught myself throughout the day sucking my thumb and rocking back and forth (not violently!)

I just read that Owen Wilson has been hospitalised and rumour has it that it was an attempted suicide bid.
I often think of harming myself. Should I take Owen's attempt as a sign that I should follow him?
I recently harmed myself and I felt the pain. I enjoyed it; I'm so fed up of feeling nothing,

Bret Hart lost his Intercontinental Championship last night at Summerslam, tonight he wants his title back... there is a problem, I already made Chris Jericho the number one contender! Looks like you guys are going to have to write out a Triple Threat Match!

The best laid out match will receive 10 points and you will receive a link to the Yahoo group that keeps the storylines running!
