i hardly ever get sick but when i do get a bad fever or the flu i always have the same dream, its kinda like a nightmare but its not that scary. i have not been sick in quite awhile so i dont remember the dream that well, but what i do remember is that there is a fear that is everywhere, I mean like the trees feel it, the rocks, the ground, and i feel it and its kinda weird i almost see fear like a shadow moving all around(like the way you would see wind if you could) and there are no colors in my dream everything is just kinda dark and gray, and in my dream im aware that im lost trying to get somewhere to do some sort of task ive been ordered to do. I have only been sick like 3 or 4 times in my life. im a older teen

Do you ever do something stupid or embarrassing and then sometimes keep re-playing it in your mind?

It gets overwhelming sometimes.

How can you prevent this form happening?

My best friend is gorgeous and funny and she really is just overall a great person. I know that I am not ugly and I think I would be confident in my appearance if I did not know her. Saying (or typing that) is a huge step for me fyi because I tend to refuse to accept that I have failed in any way... bad habit. When I'm with her I constantly feel my looks and my personality are inadequate because I am not as outgoing and funny and just easy to get along with as she is. Don't get me wrong...She does nothing to make me feel this way she always tries to make me feel good and is not conceited. Sounds perfect right?I shouldn't be insecure because I have an amazing boyfriend(as does she) and my good group of friends and in some ways, such as school, I guess I am better than her a little. But that's not important to me.
Recently, we gave a guy our number when he asked for it (just as friends...we do have boyfriends!) and he has been texting her but has yet to text me. I sometimes hate myself.

just spent the afternoon with my ex(We split up a couple of years ago&neither of us have really had a serious relationship since,we're very over each other but we have stayed really close friends-only friends!)He rang me earlier to hang out & we spent the afternoon together,which we do a lot.Most of the time he seemed distracted (although this isn't unusual for him)&/or kept making little digs at me. I tried to be bubbly&cheer him up&when this didn't work I thought he might need to talk, so after a walk we dropped in at our local. He explained he was just stressed with work&wasn't getting on with his family,he needed to go&speak to them (not long ago)I just called to check it went ok(he seemed v.down) he's out with 2 friends & this woman I know he likes! why lie?Call me up to be moody/distracted with me all afternoon? He wears me out &end up feeling bad as I think It must be something I do to make him down?It's almost like he feels obliged to spend time with me, I don't ask him to!!

We've been close for years, out friendship was the type that just "bonded" and clicked right away. We always went to each other if we ever needed anything unconditionally - I was the one he could open up to and he was the one i trusted & who understood me. Our friendship changed when we unexpectedly realized that we learned to love each other and fell deep.(i was the first girl that had anything w. him) We crossed the boundries physically (no sex) but stopped in time and realized it wasn't a good time to be in a relationship - mutual and fair decision.

When things were getting back to normal again, he experienced tragedy and that struck a chord in our friendship - didn't talk for a while and rumors got to us fr. friends but got better when we worked it out. Lately, our friendship's been slow...we haven't been consistent like we used to and it's made me sad. He did start being more in contact w. me but i just found out that he's got this big problem and he doesn't want me knowing...

They say the only dumb question is the one not asked, however some people seem to delight in making you feel like a fool for asking carefully thought out questions.I realize you need gumption and a big backbone to come on here for help, but I can't help but feel hurt at times when I get a smart as* remark. Am I the only one, honestly? Thanks for your input.

the conspiracy involved preventing you personally from living your life the way you wanted to.....you knew there was people high up preventing you from accomplishing what you wanted..

stopping you from having that beautifull blonde girl that you saw the other day..
preventing you from being socially successfull, getting a good job....emigrating far away to build your own life..
you were being kept down, controlled so that didnt happen....you were being socially rejected........socially excluded...
prevented from having the girl you wanted, prevented from having a successfull life...prevented from taking control of your life.
you knew people high up were doing this but didnt know who....when you raised queries about it...you were told your mad...crazy....its all in your head.

when you did try to be proactive and take control of your life you were threatened by thuggish looking individuals you didnt no, but who would just appear, ivade your space & act threatening towards you

I am moderatley depressed. I feel completley lazy all of the time, I feel too tired or worthless to get up and do something myself. I never go outside. I am always bored and hungry, even though I'm not acutally hungry at all (if that makes any sense) I feel so incredibly lazy, and I don't even have a problem with it. I'm so bored to tears that it's hard for me to even take another breath.
Is it common?

Recently I met a young man with Asperger's Syndrome and it was the first time in a really long time that I allowed myself to cry-to empathize with somebody. I don't know how true it is, but I feel as if I met him for a reason.

Someone I was speaking to, pointed out perhaps, I met him b/c he was a mirror reflection of what I'd become. I wasn't always like this-but somewhere along the way I became withdrawn, untrusting, completely unfeeling. I sort of learned to numb myself to every feeling/emotion around me and pretended that I didn't care. Only, this young man doesn't have a choice in the way he is, but I do!

Sometimes I find that it is just so much easier to not feel than to face the truth. I come from a history of every type of abuse there is (not that it was a big deal) b/c it just doesn't feel like a big deal anymore. I would punish myself for feeling - eg. cut myself for having sexual feelings etc.

Yesterday, I realized that I never actually dealt with any of my issues.

There is some self interest behind every friendship either a boy or a girl. This is a BITTER truth and we have to accept this truth. Without self interest there is no friendship at all in this world. Do you differ from me, please share with me.
