    I Hate Valentine's Day

    When all the red and pink comes out to play just after the "thrill" of Christmas, I feel bitter and angry and anxious all at the same time. I was attacked on Valentine's day, and I find it so horrid that everyone seems to love this holiday, even looking forward to it, when all I want to do is...

    How To Rest

    Oh! I do all this (except coloring bc it stresses me out) but the one thing I've figured out is healing crystals work wonders. I have over 50 of them but only avout 20 I've actually managed to identify. I think of them as similar to plants b/c plants give off certain beneficial energies. And the...

    Possible Learning Disabilty

    After I made a post about being overwhelmed by the space in adult coloring books, I realized I've always had trouble connecting spaces and spacial awareness. I'm almost 16 and still shut down whenever someone asks me which way is left. It took me until I was 9 to remember what "behind" was, and...

    Increased Anxiety/ Sensory Overload At Adult Coloring Books?

    Thank you everyone for the replies! I'm only concerned about it b/c I'm an artist and I work with copic markers on an almost daily basis. I think I will stick to own drawings from now on!

    Increased Anxiety/ Sensory Overload At Adult Coloring Books?

    I have 4 adult coloring books given to me over birthdays and holidays from the past few years. The only problem is I can NEVER bring myself to do anything more than stare at the pages and get overwhelmed. I start thinking about all the potential there is to mess up and I don't see these stupid...

    Struggling With Addictive Personality

    As I've restarted my self-harm free life, I seem to have taken a liking to touching and picking at my face. I know it's bad for me and it doesn't look pretty after I do it but it calms me down. I feel as if I'm detoxifying myself. It's a strange new addiction. I just don't know how to stop now...

    Movie/show Suggestions? For An Extra Sh*tty Day?

    I personally have watched Parks and Recreation several times through. It's a really funny show and I always laugh at it no matter what mood I'm in. That's my suggestion for you. Take care, friend! :)

    A Dilemma (venting)

    For some reason I feel like I'll never be truly better. I feel like everyone around me who knows about my ptsd/bpd/Addictive personality/ all my other problems is just sticking around b/c they pity me. I feel as if I don't truly belong anywhere. Everyone says I'm physically showing improvement...

    Huge Breakthrough With Standing Up For Myself And Others

    So I have struggled with being a GIGANTIC pushover as long as I can remember, to the point where my best friend is teaching me how to be assertive. We haven't been able to make much progress until today. So, someone he almost dated (but she turned around and dated someone else after blatantly...

    Denied Therapy For Years By Parents

    I'm not sure if I can. They're mandated reporters and my mom doesn't believe I was sexually assaulted. She would probably put me through more Hell if I did.

    Relapse

    Last night I had a gigantic wave of self hatred. I had to do it. It was itching to get out. I got a blade from one of my thousands of pencil sharpeners (I'm an artist) and I relapsed. I have maybe 15 cuts on my thigh now. I wasted a year. I threw it all away in less than 5 minutes. I can't...

    Denied Therapy For Years By Parents

    I'm almost 16 years old, and for 4 years my parents have been denying me any kind of mental health help. They've always told me I was faking it and that I needed to deal with my problems on my own. Ever since I can remember I've had some obsessive compulsive tendencies. I get addicted to...

    Fighting strong self harm urges

    I'm a year clean from self harm... yet lately I've been fighting strong urges to cut, burn, scratch, and pick my skin. I've been crying for up to an hour on the daily. The entire months of January-March are going to be very difficult, as they are the anniversaries of several repeated sexual...
