I am a teenager and all my life i have been attracted to girls, never to guys. Ever since i was 9 i would go crazy for girls from my school think about kissing them and stuff. But when i got to 12 i would think about them having sex with them and everything. It would turn me on so much and make me feel good. I've never had a girlfriend but desperatly want one. ...

Hi,

My name is Katrina. I've been using the site for a few months now, I mainly use the BDD bit. But very recently I have started to cut my self. I think I've been SH for a while but not realized it, like I would scratch myself, or dig my nails into my skin etc. I'm not sure it that counts or not.

Hey guys, first time poster. Anyway, I needed to find some help with my situation and I know how helpful forums can be. I have a bit of a complicated story, so it's going to be a bit lengthy. About two years ago I started wondering if my father sexually abused my brother and me when we were really young. I dismissed that thought up until last summer.

I'm going to give you the pieces ...

Hey there,

Ok I'm really not sure what I'm hoping to get out of posting here to be honest, I guess I just feel the need to talk and hope that somebody will listen. And perhaps if someone can offer their opinion then that would help me to understand myself better. This is going to be a long post, so I apologise for that in advance. I think symptoms like those which I'm experiencing can't ...

Hey guys,
