I've been SI-ing forever really. Sure, until I was 15 I wasn't bright enough to cut myself but I'd been biting/brusing/chewing my fingernails til they bled ever since I could remember.

Things got pretty out of hand when I was around 17 and because of my crazy SI-ing habits I was almost put into a 'home' as they conveniently call it over here. I managed to fight back (or pretend to anyway) and stuck to ...

Hello all,
I'm new here.

The main reason I'm posting, need I be honest, is because I REALLY need to talk. I'm sorry if I come of as a rambling, annoying so-and-so, I don't really have anybody I can talk to about my current (rather poor) mental health. Sorry if this gets ridiculously long, I really do apologize in advance. I just desperately need to talk to someone who I hope will understand, even if ...

I recently stopped drinking caffeinated drinks and noticed my paranoia, anxiousness and jumping to conclusions reduced significantly. I still have it bad, but less intense and more controllable than if I was still drinking it.

How many of you drink caffeine daily or feel you need it to function?

I don't have a clue, I honestly don't

I know, this is a fairly common fear, but I've been wondering... what do other people experience when they feel this fear. I've come to the understanding that I react differently to things. To me, I just get the feeling that the doll is going to come alive. Sometimes I can't look at them, and other times I can't stop looking at them, I just have to make sure they don't move. Is this anything ...

Hey,
I hope that you're having a good weekend.
I don't know... I feel like I've been stuck in a rut for awhile. Nothing seems worthwhile anymore... I hate feeling this awful about myself 24-7, it seems I can never get any peace from my mind convincing me I'm a horrible person. :? I'm just so bitter about having had anxiety and depression and low self-esteem for ...

my step dad has an anger problem which is hard for me to deal with. He throws things when he gets mad but he doesn't throw them at anybody. He knows how bad these things upset me because I've told him before but when I talked to him about it, he just got angrier. It started ...
