I don't know how to do that because when i try to speak silently, with my mouth closed, it seems that i'm talking either in the back of my throat or at the bottom of my throat.

im 15 and in recovery for anorexia and have been for about a month and a half, but i've been struggling with it for about 3 years. im doing well, but that doesn't really matter for my question.
a really close friend of mine has begun to develop an eating disorder and she confided in me, knowing i'd understand. it's only been about 6 months so it's still pretty mild, but not healthy by any means.
but i don't know if i can help her. i don't mean to sound selfish, but i have my own problems to deal with. im still early in recovery. i have a lot of weight to gain back. i can't get engrossed in her problem because since it's the same as mine i think i might get tempted to restrict myself from eating again, and i really can't do that. i'm trying to get healthy again myself. she thinks she can stop herself, she just wants a friend she said. i believe her, but i dont know if i should help her. i dont know if it will mess up my recovery.

how should i help her?
do i tell her parents?

So, everyone [including my mom] says I act cocky. Sometimes I say things like [ maybe 2 days of the week, it's not a everyday thing]" dang I must look good" or " I know I'm the ****" or " I know I look cute in these pants". I think I'm just confident, but I'm worried it might effect my friendships. I do it for several reasons. One, no one really tells me I'm pretty, so it makes me feel better about myself. For two, i like being me and I like everything about me. I also do not talk down on others, and I do not try to offend others. Do you think I am cocky? Thank You.

I've been really stressed out for the past days and I have been binge eating like crazy. I used to binge eat a lot, almost every day, but I got rid of the habit for the last two months or so. But ever since a couple of days ago it came back. I'm starting to build the habit again. How do I stop??? Its like in my system and I can't let it go!

i've been ok for a few days but im guilty again
a few years ago, i said f**king or part of the f word and MIGHT have said jesus right after in my mind, can't remember well though
what IF i said f**king jesus out loud? is this bad?
i also had sexual thought about jesus and god
i've been ok, but i started to think about this again
today, i recalled that i tried to say it whenever my mouth was open like eating and it felt like i was saying it just in my head when i was eating
there're certain things that my brain won't let go of and it distinguishes and i feel depressed for guilt then on, such as this case
is this chemical imbalance?
could there be anyone saying the whole thing out loud with intention and not being guilty at all?
because i did it unintentionally and still i feel that im the only one who might have said this
should i pray for forgiveness
so whenever i start to feel guilty, should i slap myself?
i really don't understand why i have these kind of problems whe

i need to have a reason why i don't need to pray to be able to do anything properly or else i'll be always guilty of it
so should i forget about it all in a bunch?

...every time that somebody on here shows the slightest sign of being unhappy, people advise them to go to their doctor?

It is normal sometimes for people to be unhappy from time to time, it is part of healthy human emotion. People can't survive as positive junkies. Fobbing everyone off to the doctor who is a little bit teary will only make the person think there is something wrong with them, when maybe they only need a bit of positive encouragement.

I feel like I am going really crazy~ I am a 34 year old single mother of 2 boys, hard to handle boys, I have no friends, well not good ones, I am on disability for depression, PTSD, Had a really bad child hood which affects my whole life, I have a major problem with self-injury since I was 11 years old, it slowed down some, but is now back full force, but this time I am hiding it. I am going back to college for nursing, (RN) which is not easy for me to do! But I still feel like I have no purpose in life! I do have a therapist, and a doctor who prescribed my medications, with all this I still feel like crap! I am tired of being alone, I keep telling myself If only I had a man who cared about me all my problems would be okay! But now I realize that is not what I need either. I am not a bad person at all, I care about others, would do anything to help any one, I have a heart of gold. So why do I still feel so bad, why am I still hurting myself. I hate holidays,

I already have my BA degree in Spanish, but I'm still not fluent, & my GPA is EXTREMELY low, due to my OCD & poor concentration. I tried going back to school to boost my grades, but my grades aren't improving-in fact-getting worse. My unwanted thoughts are more intrusive, & I struggle harder to focus & can't. I feel mentally cripple. Also, every job I go look for, most people don't want to hire me because I "look too nervous & mentally special/retarded"-I also suffer anxiety, depression, & Tourette's. I've lost a few jobs because 1 lady found out I have TS. Discrimination-I know. I couldn't help my twitching. I keep taking out all these student loans & can't get any other financial aid since I'm a graduate. I'm a Post-Bac student. The last 2 semesters I did poorly & I was hospitalized. Since I'm not getting anywhere in my desired career, do you think I should leave school alone & forget about applying for jobs, where I'm basically making a "fool" out of myself? Employers laugh in my face when I ask for an application, & they toss my resume in the garbage right in front of me. I’m telling the truth. Also, 1 lady fired me from my job because of my meds making me sleepy. Most of the time I’m too depressed to get out of bed.

I wish I can be more able & functional. Many people tell me to get off my fat, lazy butt & get a job, but then they turn around & tell me how employers have every right not to hire me. I don’t want to be mentally debilitated like this. What advice do you have? It feels like I’m not going to get anywhere in life, & I’m destined to be a “NOBODY”.

When I was in psych hospital, I attacked a doctor. Now my name is on the "Named Victim" list where the doctor's name is as the victim.
Will this affect me in any way? Hell, I don't even know what it means, except that I attacked a doctor. I didn't hurt her as such though, and I was pretty out of it.

Is this a side effect of anxiety? I have a history of anxiety and panic attacks, and this usually happens in public - at home im fine.

It happens even when im not anxious, like I will be looking at a picture, or at some object, and out of nowhere, a random thought or phrase will pop into my head, like something i wasnt even thinking about at the time. Am I just being paranoid? Its not even negative things, it will be a phrase like "welcome home" or "hey guys", just weird and random! LOL

I might have bipolar disorder and am going for a psychiatric evaluation..

I'm just wondering what happens in there, and if the psychiatrist is going to tell my parents about anything I tell him.

Will my parents be in there while I'm being evaluated? What sort of questions would the psychiatrist make me answer? Would he ask me personal questions in front of my parents?

I'm afraid; I don't want to open up to a complete stranger, and even more so if it's in front of my parents. I'm not comfortable with that idea..

I used to get headaches everyday few times a day.So I quit coffee. It got a lot better.
Then I realized my head can't stay focus sometimes, and it feels like cloudy and can't even do simple math problems right away. I got fired from my jobs cause they think I'm stupid or can't stay focus. I got depress and thought I wasn't smart. then know i that I'm not stupid, it is just my head gets cloudy often. I search online, it might be chronic headaches or A.D.D. Lately, I been drinking Red Bull, it helps so much. It keeps me sharp and now I know how to do tasks correctly. I don't want to rely on Red Bull forever, i know it's not healthy to drink it often. But I need it. Can someone tell me what's going on that my head is not focus before?

I dont know if this is how everyone feels but, when I wake up in the morning I am really nervous. My belly is constantly turning and I just want to move and get out of bed as quickly as I can. If Im working in the afternoon I am so nervous that sometimes I phone in sick.

If I'm not working I am constantly nervous about what other people are doing, for example where my friends are, am I missing out? And if they dont phone me then I get really upset and think that I have anoyed someone badly.

What do I do to cope with this nervousness? How can I do something productive as it's really making my life a misery.
