Help i get pissed i dont know what to do?

i get pissed i takeled my dad in a wall i ran trough and broke my door i feel invincible i kick and punch holes in walls any advice about any thing

Answers: work on your spelling and then work on your sentence structure. takel is spelled tackle. you'll never get far in life if you misspell words and can't write complete sentences.

At least you have recognised that you have a problem, otherwise you would not be asking for help. 'Your Anger Problem' therein lays some probable issues. Problems can usually be resolved. You may need your family, so stop using them as tackle bags and talk to them about getting help for yourself.
You're a fire cracker man. Control your problem now with help, because at the moment its controlling you.
Yellow pages has some help listings.

Low self esteem?

Im 15 almost 16, Im overweight and the kids I hang around sometimes tease me about it. Im shy and dont say much. Kids say I look older than 16 lol. Like the other day in the cafeteria, the principal comes up and says "boy aint you gonna eat, your 200 pounds.. if you dont eat, your gonna vanish". My self esteem goes from high to low. But when the principal said that, I didnt get offended by it at all. I actually laughed. Even when people tease me about it, I'll just smile or laugh along with them. I do find it funny by what they say about me. But they continue to tease me, seeing I dont care, I think there doing it to feel better about themselves so they tease me anyway. I smile or laugh all the time they do it, sometimes ill make jokes with my "friends" who tease me. And they laugh along also, sometimes they joke about my weight considering that they think I dont care. But deep inside it gets to me after a while. Ive been excersising and lost some weight.

Answers: That is so rude that the principal said that. Anyway, when I was your age, I was a bit overweight. I finally got fed up with it and went on a strict diet and exercised. It was the best thing I ever did. My self esteem increased so much and my health did too. It is best to get and stay healthy as early as possible. Now that you are young you should have an easier time losing weight. Basically try not to eat junk food and greasy fatty foods. Don't put butter on your foods or mayonnaise because all it is is fat. The best thing you could do is join a sports team at your school. I wish I had. Even if you suck at it, the coach will work you and your body will change. You will get healthy and feel better a bout yourself. You body and mind will feel better.

List five words to describe yourself. The trick-do not describe any physical features and use any words other than "nice"! Some creative words to choose from could be:
Loving
Studious
Hardworking
Adventurous
Unique
Easygoing
Praise people for what they can do, not just how they look. Compliment a friend today on something other than his/her appearance.
Sometime this week, try to ask a older sibling,mom, or your grandma how she felt about her appearance when she was about your age. What does she know now that she wishes she'd know then? Compare what she said with your past-experiences
When you accomplish something you're really proud of-whether it's passing a tough test or finishing a winning soccer season-that's when you're at your most beautiful. GIve yourself a pat on the back! Call a grandparent or e-mal a favorite aunt to share the news. Celebrate with family and friends.
Limit your face time. It's ok to give yourself a once-over in the mirror before you head out in the morning.
Face washed?
Fly zipped?
Hair not standing straight up (unless you like it that way)?
It's fine to want to see what's changing and to daydream about who you're becoming. But spending too much time in front of the mirror-or peeking at your reflection in every mirror you pass- is not worth it. You've got better things to do!
Your saying I'm not trendy? I wear underwear, thats trendy so that means I'm trendy, so there. :PReally accept a compliment. When your friend says,"You look great," don't brush her off with "I think these pants make me goofy." Just say "Thanks," and let the words sink in.
Celebrate taking care of yourself. Take time today to pamper your skin with great-smelling soap to lotion. Clean and cut your nails.
Have a dancer's poise. Imagine there's a thread attached to the center of your head. Now imagine someone is pulling gently on that thread to make you stand up tall and straight. Try to keep your poise all day long!
Even if you wake up feeling lousy-or just lazy-wash your face, comb your hair, brush your teeth, and get dressed in your favorite jeans and t-shirt. Give your body respect,and you'll get respect from the rest of the world, too.
List three things you like about your looks. When you're having a bad day, focus on what you like about yourself. (Ex:I have pretty hazel eyes with dark eyelashes, a gorgeous smile, and shiny hair,etc.)
Feeling uncoordinated? Remeber that your body is growing and changing, so its normal to be klutzy at times. Slow down a little. Don't call yourself names. And if you trip and mess up in the hallways, laugh at yourself and try again.
Don't waste your time comparing yourself to others. There's no one out there just like you, who was grown up with your experiences and has your talents. Also remember to listen to your body when you play sports. Don't push yourself past your body's limits, even if you're told to toughen up. Your instincts will tell you when to stop.
Make a meal something special. Even if you're only having cereal with your siblings, create traditions that will make the moment memorable. Set the table. Take turns sharing funny dreams from the night before. At dinner, dim the lights and have your parents light a candle for the table. Enjoy giving yourself the fuel you need and sharing your ideas and feelings with people eating with you.
If your friends start talking about their weight or diet, change the subject. Show them there are more interesting things to talk about, such as how their soccer team is doing and how old their little golden retriever pup is this month.
Its OK not to feel perky or peppy all the time. Sometimes you just have to live with the bad feelings and just know they'll pass. If you feel seriously sad, be sure to talk to an adult who cares about you. Also, when you're in a bad mood, your body knows it. Think about which part of your body gets out of whack when you're crabby or upset. Do you get a stomachache when you're nervous about a test? Do you get a headache when you feel anxious? If you recognize your body's signals, you may be able to figure out what's bothering you and make yourself feel better.
Need to brighten up? No, we don't mean using Orbit gum, we meant brightening up your mood. If it's daytime, open up the window and let in some fresh air and sunlight. If it's nighttime, put on some clean pajamas and curl up with a favorite book, movie, or CD. Feeling stressed? Take a warm bath or shower. Imagine the water washing away your worries. Also try to create your own peace rituals. When you're angry or stressed out, take three long,slow,deep breaths. Write in your journal. Turn on some of your favorite music. Find ways to calm your spirit, and return to those practices whenever you feel anxious.
Start a dream list. Find a pretty notebook and write down places you'd like to visit, experiences you'd like to have, people you'd like to meet, and skills you'd like to learn. A dream list is a great start to creating a life filled with fun, adventure, and interesting experiences. Put a box next to each item on your list so you can check it off when it happens.
List all the things you're good at, whether it's math or being funny. If you feel down about yourself, look at the list you made, and remember-you rock!!
Wear clothes that will make you feel good. You know which shirt makes you feel self-conscious and which pants make you squirm. Talk to your mom about why you don't feel good in those clothes and ask if you can give them to charity. Wear your favorite color. If you feel great in it, your confidence will show! If someone teases you about the clothes you wear, shrug it off and say, "Oh well, at least I like them!" Remember: People aren't looking at you or talking about you nearly as much as you think they are. Also try a new `do. Brush your hair, braid it, twist it, and tie it. Experiment! You can express yourself through your appearance and no one way is right. They're all you.
Develop your own style. Experiment with clothing to see what makes you feel the best. Some days you might feel girly and fancy-other days you won't! That's O.K. This week, visit a clothing store with a friend and pick out five new outfits in colors and styles you'd never consider wearing. Then have fun trying them on! Don't be suprised if something you thought would look awful actually looks good on you. Have a laugh at the ones you don't like.
Heck, fashion magazines are sooo last year.Have you been hurt by words? Remember this:People who insult others usually do it to make themselves be powerful. Know what that means? They're probably insecure. They are the ones who lack confidence, so try not to bend into the pressure to return their jabs with an insult.
Every day Tv, movies, and magazines bombard you with their ideas of what a beautiful girl is suppose to look like. It's a runaway train of unrealistic images! Put on the brakes and jump off NOW. Take a look at everyone around you. Out of 100%, their is 3% that look like railway thin models.
And the last thing: Finding beauty in those around you gives YOU a more beautiful spirit.

I have a few things to say about your low-self esteem, the fist thing I will say, is that nobody has a right to tell you to suck it up. Let me explain how I have come to this conclusion. My son was homecoming King, has alway's been the most handsome boy in school, and as a man. He became a Marine and everyone told me how hot he was in his uniform.

Two years ago, after his second trip to Iraq, he came home with a tumor on the side of his face. It was malignant and rare. After two surgeies he had to have the side of his face removed, his ear, most of the bone from his jaw and forehead..and they had to cut the nerve to that side of his face. This was radical...major...life altering.

The other day he went to a haunted house and the kids told him that his mask was awesome, could they touch it..no mask. .he said yes and they screamed. He kept going, yes it hurt..but he is so brave and so amazing. People can be so stupid, I call it "Stupid things people Say". It's okay to be offended, it really is. Cuz it is down right offensive. My friend, if they can't see who you are inside, they will not matter much when you get older. I can't remember half the friends I had when I was your age, and even if I did, half of them would be bald, fat, and broke..lol. Life changes, so does your body, your mind and your circumstances. Should you want to see life-changing.go to www.joinmikesfight.com and then complain.

So depressed i can't even concentrate in class? how do i get over this?

Answers: i know what depression is like. it takes over your body completely. u obsess on it. what you need to do is try to get your mind off depression and just focus on class. eventually, u will see change in it and begin to realize that you CAN control urself. if this doesnt help, they maybe you should talk to a therapist about it. there are many medications that handle depression. and one more thing, remember that you are not alone; millions american are JUST LIKE YOU

you need to find out why your depressed..is it something as simple as a breakup, parents bothering you about something, then you need to think about the situation and find the postives in it..such as more time with friends..etc..

or is it something you truely dont know the reason to..or is it puberty changes..if its things like this youll need to talk to your doctor to see what would be the best way for you to get out of your depressive mood

Depression is horrible, specially when you are a student and need to stay focused. I dealt with depression and as a student and it's tough. If you already know what you are depressed over, I suggest you get some counseling. If you are in college, most campuses have school psychologists that can help you. There is NOTHING wrong with reaching for help when you are feeling this way. Medication can also be prescribed by your doctor if you want. I took the medication because I couldn't function in school and was affecting my appetite. Don't keep this inside you. It takes courage to accept depression, and you already have by coming here and talking about it, so now get rid of it!

Will I ever feel the same after taking dodgy ecstasy which has made feel brain damaged?

I took some dodgy ecstasy with a cannabis leaf logo, and I couldn't eat, sleep, move or drink for at least 24 hours. I was hallucinating for a long time, and could not even look at faces. I went to hospital, and a saline drip washed my system out, but I still feel empty and afraid to face the world. Will I ever feel the same?

Answers: pretty sure that goes away. mdma is fun but it literally burns holes in ur brain, so its natural to feel liek a nugget the next few days. ive tried it, can say ive tried it and enjoyed it but wont do it again. rather do a safer halluc

I'm a former drug addict, friend. You're going to have some issues when you get older. That stuff kills massive amounts of brain cells and brain cells don't ever grow back...
You might just be experimenting or having fun which is all good now, but later on in life when you no longer enjoy altering your conscious you might revisit an old trip.
What happened is you poisoned yourself. You can't do that stuff and not pay a price. It's going to take time but you will regain some of what you were before, but never all of it.

I used to do a lot of drugs and I'm begging the general public

DON'T DO DRUGS!

Good luck and drink plenty of Orange Juice...
or take some vitamin C

ya youll feel fine
i took like 8 pills n a single night before
what your feeling is a "come down"
it happens usually with any drug you take
dont burn your self by going to the hospital that fast...

I really and truly hope that you one day feel the same. Drugs are nothing to mess with. Find a better addiction like exercise or something. Drugs are expensive, and they cause irreparable damage to your body. I know that you already know this, but I think you may need to hear it again. You only get one body, and once you screw it up, you don't get another one. I urge you to make better decisions in the future because you are going to have to live a very long time in the body that you are currently in, so you might as well keep it in good condition.

I have a drug problem?

part of me wants help, the other part doesnt want to at all and knows that if i do go to rehab or anything i would relapse again anyways.

I would go to rehab to at least try, but i'm fifteen, and my parents have no idea about it. If i told them it would ruin my life. They would hate me.

I want help, but i don't want my parents knowing.

My drug use started freshman year drinking, then i started smoking weed ocationally. My weed smoking increased to multiple times a day, then i started getting into other **** too.
To list some, ive done/still do extacy vicodin xanax, acid, ritalin, lsd, shrooms, coke, pcp, etc.
(never done crack or heroin, thank god)

I love doing them. My friends and i have a great time together. I love it. But since i am only a sophmore, i worry that later this year and next year, i might just keep getting worse.

I also feel like ive fucked up my life already, and stopping now wont change anything.
Ive lost everything that was once important to me.

Answers: GO TO REHAB! GET HELP! TALK TO SOMEBODY THAT CARES FOR YOU THEY CAN HELP YOU. YOU MIGHT DIE AT A EARLY AGE IF YOU KEEP THIS UP AND YOUR ONLY A SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL. THATS BAD!! REALLY BAD!!

You are making a good move by admitting you have a problem. Since you are in school get the help there.
Good luck!

Please don't say that stopping now won't change anything. It can change your whole future which definitely is something! I know you think your parents would hate you, but they will be there to support you. You really need to get help. Good luck!

STOP STOP STOP STOP AND STOP AGAIN!! U MUST PULL URSELF AWAY FROM THIS!! U ARE RUINING UR LIFE AND UR ONLY A SOPHOMORE!! OMG UR GONNA DIE AT 30!

First of all, you deserve praise b/c you have already said you have a problem. Most addicts don't even get that far!

You need to tell your parents before they or the police catch you. Your parents will not hate you. They will always love you and they will be disappointed but you need help and that's what they are there for.

It will be VERY VERY HARD to tell your parents. Go to your school counselor first. Or, call the police. Yes, call the police from a pay phone, tell them that you are depressed and that you need help. That way you don't exactly have to explain everything to your parents right away and you can get immediate help.

You WILL **** up your life if you continue using. There are many alternatives to using drugs, and those alternatives bring pleasure in the long run. You are young, you have a life to live, and people love you!

Since my brother started doing drugs with friends,
1) He was sentenced to prison for a couple years for manufacturing and distributing drugs
2) He overdosed on cocaine
3) He witnessed 2 of his friends die from overdoses
4) He attempted suicide
5) He suffers from mental and physical health issues induced by long-term cocaine use

I'm praying for you because I've also been through the same stuff personally. It is a living hell being trapped in yourself because many times you cannot quit with your own will-power. Please use the last bit of your will-power to help yourself before you end up dead.

Every drug user I meet I would like to hug. All users are human beings who's once successful and enjoyable lives have been wasted away with mind-altering chemicals. It is very sad because all users remind me of my brother.

1 TELL UR PARENTS, they wont hate you. they might be dissapointed, but they wud be alot more if you didnt tell them until sumthing bad happens
2 ur 15, get help now. its easiest at a young age

Not to preach..but you have parents for a reason. They're there to help and guide you until you're old enough and smart enough to do it for yourself.

At 15 and with a drug problem you need them. Take a chance and talk to them.you can't do this on your own.

You are 15, so chances are you haven't actually hit rock bottom. And trust me, keep going the way that you are, and you will, big time.
I started using drugs when I was 14 and it all culminated to be temporarily losing custody of my son and a spell in a psychiatric unit when I was 20.
Talk to your parents, chances are they already know and are very concerned about you.

wow all i gto to say is danggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg... your pretty stupid fro doing all that shi*t i dotn caree wtf ym freinds do i mean all that shti and your jus 15

sum 1 should slap the sh*t out of u for doing all that ...god i will pray for u

If you love yourself and you love your parents you have to tell them. You will kill yourself if you don't. Don't worry about them being angry with you, the way I look at it, you will not be around much longer if you don't. You're worth it! So do the right thing.

If you work hard and get through it you can HELP others and be a huge positive influence in the community. There is never a shortage of people that need positive encouragement from someone who has shared their experience.

you give weed smokers a bad name, I smoked weed and i'm STILL in school, got a 4.0 gpa, never touched anything else

well, you're only 15, you haven't done much damage yet, you can still recover, just quit doing everything,

remain abstinent, and live soberly, it seems your can't moderate your party time so make friends that dont use any type of drug

you're insane if you think you already screwed up your life, you haven't even lived 1/3rd of it yet, you have a whole beautiful life ahead of you

make some sacrifices and you will get everything you want, keep on moving

Wow, that's some tough sh!t.
I'm the same age as you by the way.

Trust me I fnckng love to party but sh!t like that is rough. Get help. Your family SHOULD be supportive. And if they're not, do this for yourself. Surround yourself with people that ARE supportive. That's what you definitely need in rehab, people that are really supportive.

Don't think that you can't change your life.
Trust me, because I've been to hell and back.
And the shxt that I've done left me with some bad aas OCD
and PTSD but I'm totally different than what
you would of seem two years ago.

You can ALWAYS change your life.

Please get help.
<3

[sorry for all the bleeped out curses. sante360.com is **** **** **** **** **** **** ****

Why would your parents hate you if you're responsible enough to admit that you have a problem?

You can't think "I'll relapse anyway." Rehab is just one step. For the rest of your life, you'll be going to support groups and doing other things to make sure that you don't return to the obviously unhappy and confused life you're living now.

You're only fifteen. I'm fifteen, too. We've got the same life ahead of us if you get help now.

Check out this website and get clean.

Should I take SSRI's?

I recently miscarried and lost my job. Now the guy I was dating wants to leave and I just feel like dying. I don't want to kill my self, but sometimes it seems like an end to the pain would be good. I try to think positive, but I am often overwhelmed with sadness, anger, grief, self-pity, you name it . . . I want to start taking steps to get a new job and maybe someday i'll get a shot at love. I'm already 35, so I cry that I might not ever be able to get married and have kids, although I am attractive, intelligent, etc. He says the pain will go away soon, but I just feel so angry at him, I almost want him to have really bad things happen to him, too.

I'm thinking of taking SSRI's because I feel like I am too sad and I can't get it together anymore. I took them when I was younger, because I was depressed with similar issues. Now, I fear that I actually am suicidal and dysthymic. I don't want to have any illnesses, but I don't know what to do. Should I just take them?

Answers: I know there are people who are probably going to tell you to go ahead and take them and that this is a medical problem but here's another perspective:

You don't need pills. You need people. You have just suffered three major losses! Of course you're in the absolute pits. And yes, you do need help but it isn't in the form of drugs. You need a helping hand and loving arms is what you need.

Don't listen to "him". And I hope he leaves. Sorry, but he is hurting you. And he is standing in the way of you finding a supportive and reliable man...who just might be waiting for you in one of those grief groups!

Find an in-person grief recovery group asap! Connect to grief and loss groups on the internet. Find a counselor that specializes in grief and loss. In the darkest pit of he** is exactly the hardest place to reach out to other people, but it's like a ladder. If you can just grab one rung, you can get to the next, then the next, then the next.

Nothing is wrong with you. You are suffering major pain due to major losses. You need help, comfort, and supportive companionship to recover. It's there for the asking.

Here's a start: I believe in you! You sound like a great person to me and I think you deserve to be happy and I believe you can get there!

I would go for it. They take about a month to work for most people, but it's worth it. I've been taking an SSRI for nearly 14 years. They won't kill you or anything.

I also wonder why you went off them. I was told I'd have to take these for the rest of my life--dysthymia is a chronic illness.

Hi, I am currently taking citalopram. Have had many issued in my life, just a couple of them being unable to have children and a violent past marriage. Sometimes things just gang up on you until you feel like you can't cope. I always thought i was strong, was always there for others etc... I am taking the tablets and have gone to see a councillor which has really helped me discover the real cause of my depression. Im not saying i'm great yet but it's an illness and should be treated, just as you'd get treatment for a broken leg. Go and see your doc and sort out some councilling, get yourself better. Then you'll be happy with yourself, thats the most important thing. Good luck

Diagnosing Asperger's Syndrome?

I'm a 23 year old male, currently in college and have some kind of health insurance through my university. I have recently come to suspect that I am a lifelong sufferer of a disorder called Asperger's Syndrome which is some form high-functioning autism. Anyone out have this Syndrome or familiar with it? In particular, how is it diagnosed?

Answers: One of the most important thing to know about Aspergers is that if you have met one person with Aspergers, you have only met ONE person with Aspergers -- in other words, each person has their own, individual and unique set of charecteristics and behaviors. This makes it quite difficult to diagnose when the person in question does not have some of the more blatent, classic, severe symptoms. Not every one with AS has sterotypical behavior and many people with AS can mask their symptoms in public, but under stress, or in private they loose control and allow AS symptoms to show.

In many cases, people self-dx after learning about Aspergers Syndrome and reading extensively about it.

Not only is Aspergers a "spectrum" disorder, so some people with AS may have severe or very blatant symptoms while other may have mild ones, there is no formula/blood test or genetic marker that currently can be applied. Some researchers have used the term "polar-opposites" in terms of behaviors -- so one individual may have a need to maintain rigid routines, while another may not. One person may be very strict about getting to appointments on time and the other may always be late. There are some excellent books on AS -- here: http://‬tinyurl.com/3675u

Not only does each individual with Aspergers Syndrome present their own unique set of behaviors (as well as level of severity), it appears that there are a few variations on the definitions of what "qualifies" as AS.

As to getting an official diagnosis, it is very important that you seek our someone who if very familiar with AS, and who understand the nuances and variations that can occur as well as the co-morbid conditons (like ADHD, OCD etc). Once you have found a specialist the diagnosis usually involves you filling out some questionaires as well as having family member or someone who knows you really well fill out some questionaires too. In addition there would be a few sessions where they interview you, and evaluate your behavior in person. Then they tabulate the results and see if you meet the dx criteria or not.

Other than the official DSM which in many peoples' opinion, is poorly formulated, here are a few links that might help you learn about how to recognize AS:

My cousin has Asperger's syndrome, and what it is is a mild form of Autism. He used to be really antisocial, and almost afraid to talk to anyone, but now he takes a medication called Zolaf or something (I have no idea how to spell that) and now he acts like any other 12 year old kid.

I think the whole problem is that it makes it difficult for you to communicate, but no where near the level that Autism makes it difficult.

Yes, it's a mild form of Autism but very high functioning. People with Asperger's Syndrome experience very rare and mild autistic behaviors. You may have certain ways of living and routines that you have to follow. Some noises can be bothersome. You are excellent in some skills but totally weak in others.
It's not a major issue and not anything to worry about. People with Asperger's Syndrome are nearly perfectly normal. Most people may not even know you have it. However, they are educated at different paces.

I am very familiar with Asperger's Syndrome. I am curious how you would have begun to suspect that you are suffering from Asperger's Syndrome.

In general, do you find it difficult to read body language? Do other people often misunderstand you? Do you have a need for consistency and order? Do you find it difficult to join a group or conversation? Have you had trouble maintaining friendships because the others aren't interested in something as much as you are? Do you have trouble listening to the words someone is saying to you rather than just thinking of what to say when it's your turn? Do you sometimes have trouble completing a task because you can't figure out where to start or what steps to take? Is it difficult for you to guess what other people are thinking about? Do you often talk to people without your shoulders being faced toward them, or without looking at them? Do you have perseverations (things you focus intently on for a while, perhaps months or years, that other people aren't that interested in) Do you have trouble getting laughs after you tell a joke? Do you have trouble understanding humor?

If you said yes to several of these questions, you might want to check into Asperger's. If you have it, please know that many successful and famous people have had the diagnosis. Your brain thinks in a different, although not inferior, way. You have strengths that people without the diagnosis don't have and you have weaknesses that people without the diagnosis don't have.

You can google "asperger's diagnostic criteria" to find some different lists, which are voluminous, so I won't list them all.

Its not really a mild form of autism. Its full blown autism, but with an above average IQ. Aspies can use their intelligence to modify their behaviors so that they fit in better. Thus, its harder to tell an aspie just by looking at him.

Anyhow, read the article on wikipedia about aspergers. It has the DSM diagnostic criteria. If you need an official diagnosis, try a psychologist with training in that area with adults.

If you search for Asperger's Syndrome on the net you will find many sites have diagnostic criteria. My son has Asperger's, it has been described to me that he basically feels like an alien on earth. When he was little he would only eat sandwiches in triangle shapes, travel in the left seat of the car, wear soft materials against his skin and all sorts of other little things. We had no idea at this stage that he was different, apart from the fact that he was very intelligent. We kept on trying to make the poor little bugger do things differently which caused him untold stress! Knowing what we know now, he had no choice, he needed the routine. He can come across very uncaring as he is unable to empathise. If someone gets hurt he sees no sense in worrying about it as it's not happening to himself. There are heaps of books on the subject so get reading :)

Blushing while simply talking to friends - impression?

I'm pretty quiet and soft-spoken, usually keep to myself at work. I'm working on my shyness and am trying to open up though by just simply trying to talk more and add more to conversations. However, today while I was talking to friends I could feel my face getting hot and knew I was blushing. I tend to look downwards a lot when I talk, but I could still tell I was blushing. Just worried about what impression this gives to others. I hate when I blush...

Answers: I am 27 and I still feel shy sometimes. Mostly at work when several co-workers are listening to me speak. I am embarrassed and think I am going to say something stupid. I feel like they are judging me. When I start to feel like this I blush and look very red. I think you just need to have more confidence and belief in yourself honey. I know it's hard so take baby steps.

first talk to them on the phone so when ur blushing no one will see it. and then if ur comfortable enough to talk to them then the blushing will be gone. good luck

Is it possible for someone to be so overly sensitive?

my boyfriend is so sensitive, everywhere, espcially his hair. When i touch him ... it tickles him so much he actually laughs.. he says it feels really good, is this possible?

Answers: Yeah. I think lots of people have little things like that. Like footrubs. I can't really stand them...They feel good, but I laugh the whole time because it tickles and I can't really enjoy it as relaxing.

Yeah its possible. I'm extremely sensitive too. especially round my stomach and waist. It tickles so much you just have to laugh ^_^

But sometimes its unbearable coz its waaay too much tickle.

Thats strange that he is that sesative.but i can relate. My friend is so sensative, that whenever i just touch him like his arm or leg or anything, he bursts out laughing and begs me to stop when i won't even be tickling him.

but i wish you lots of luck to you and your ticklish boyfriend =)
I can't imagine what sex will be like...hah
totally kidding!

yeah my husband too is very ticklish

I been diagnosed with Borderline Personality disorder?

What the symptons and what the next step to getting better. I can't go on meds because my liver damaged.

Answers: First of all, you CAN go on meds even if your liver is ruined...depending on how bad it is. I have HepC and have the beginning of Stage one of cirrhosis. My shrink knows about all of this and I'm still on a lot of meds.

Unfortunately for you, you have BPD.I "used" to have it and it was a *****, so I know what you're going through. I just plain grew out of it, as many people do in their 30's and 40's.How old are you?

When someone has BPD they are likely have feelings of emptiness, have a negative attitude in which they don't know who they are or what they are looking forward to..if anything. They tend to make or cause physical behaviour and the worst thing about it is that they tend to abuse their bodies.ie: cutting, burning w/cigs, etc.. There are MANY sites on the 'net about what the exact symptoms are.

The unfortunate thing again, is that meds really don't help much. Maybe you could get the right combo..I slip back into being BPD but now I'm only (only?) Bipolar disorder, NOS. I think they FINALLY found a combo of meds that I can tolerate and that they work.abilify, lamictal, and for sleep, sonata and seroquel. Everyone is different but the trials and tribulations of finding the right med may take some time to work out.

I'm sending you a few sites that you might find interesting.
Take care, and don't hurt yourself, as other's really do care about your welfare, incl. me. If you want, you can IM or email me.it's no prob and if I can help, I will be here for you to lean on.

Well being no one else cares enough to give a REAL answer, let me begin by saying BPD has symptoms of

Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment
A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation
Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self
Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating)
Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior
Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)
Chronic feelings of emptiness
Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)
Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms
Details about Borderline Personality Disorder Symptoms
Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.
The perception of impending separation or rejection, or the loss of external structure, can lead to profound changes in self-image, emotion, thinking and behavior. Someone with borderline personality disorder will be very sensitive to things happening around them in their environment. They experience intense abandonment fears and inappropriate anger, even when faced with a realistic separation or when there are unavoidable changes in plans. For instance, becoming very angry with someone for being a few minutes late or having to cancel a lunch date. People with borderline personality disorder may believ that this abandonment implies that they are “bad.” These abandonment fears are related to an intolerance of being alone and a need to have other people with them. Their frantic efforts to avoid abandonment may include impulsive actions such as self-mutilating or suicidal behaviors.

Unstable and intense relationships.
People with borderline personality disorder may idealize potential caregivers or lovers at the first or second meeting, demand to spend a lot of time together, and share the most intimate details early in a relationship. However, they may switch quickly from idealizing other people to devaluing them, feeling that the other person does not care enough, does not give enough, is not “there” enough. These individuals can empathize with and nurture other people, but only with the expectation that the other person will “be there” in return to meet their own needs on demand. These individuals are prone to sudden and dramatic shifts in their view of others, who may alternately be seen as beneficient supports or as cruelly punitive. Such shifts other reflect disillusionment with a caregiver whose nurturing qualities had been idealized or whose rejection or abandonment is expected.

Identity disturbance.
There are sudden and dramatic shifts in self-image, characterized by shifting goals, values and vocational aspirations. There may be suddent changes in opinions and plans about career, sexual identity, values and types of friends. These individuals may suddenly change from the role of a needy supplicant for help to a righteous avenger of past mistreatment. Although they usually have a self-image that is based on being bad or evil, individuals with borderline personality disorder may at times have feelings that they do not exist at all. Such experiences usually occur in situations in which the individual feels a lack of a meaningful relationship, nurturing and support. These individuals may show worse performance in unstructured work or school situations.

You can benefit by therapy which doesnt hurt your liver. Please do look into pills that dont hurt your liver. My mom had BPD and suffered so much (as did we). You deserve a good life. God bless.

I have been diagnosed with BPD for over 10 years. It is one of the most horrible diagnoses not just because of the pain it causes, but also because of the stigma. Medical doctors, even psychiatrists who are not familiar with it, don't want to deal with it. You need to find a therapist and psychiatrist who are experts in the area. There may be some medications that you can take. Also, there are a number of cognitive therapies that can help. I completed two years of DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), which didn't cure me, but it did help. Try reading some stuff my Marsha Linehan who came up with DBT. DBT is a therapy that teaches you coping skills to get through hard times without acting in self-destructive ways that will end up making things worse in the long-term. She, along with other experts, also believe that BPD should be considered a mood, not a personality, disorder. It's main symptom is an inability to regulate moods. I've done a lot of research and had a lot of treatment for BPD since I was diagnosed. I can't include it here but feel free to e-mail me at SightseeingESP@yah00.com. If I can help, I will.

How can I stop thinking that everyone is better than me?
I feel like no matter what I do someone always excels at it and I'm just lacking. And even some of my friends like to rub their accomplishments in my face and I just feel like I'm not worth much at all. Then I start thinking that I should be more like them.
I make stupid mistakes and I find it very hard to like myself.
I feel like I m a failure in no matter what I do.
