    About Me

    I'm sixteen and going to college. I have big dreams for myself but so many things get in my way. I hear voices and have so many fears and beliefs. I am always questioning reality, and it's hard to keep things separate.

    Interests

    I love photography and cooking and writing anything from novels to poetry. I love to read, and I love starbucks.

      not sure what's going on. But I think my parents have decided that maybe a Pdoc is a good idea for me.

      Mood July 17, 2008 10:14pm

      I'm mad at myself for being too scared to get help, for letting myself get this far, for letting the walls close in so close.

      From fireyfeminist Monday

      at your age I felt the same way as you do. i was scared & embarrsed to get help. but then i did and i did it in secret and i had a horrible dr. then i went psychotic and it was the worse experience of my life and I have never been the same since then. this age is the hardest time to cope (my therepist says). so my advice is to take your meds, stay away from alchol & drugs, and do what makes you feel good. your parents only want the best for you, i am sure. you will figure out how to cope with this illness & it will get better.

    • Close Schizophrenia

      I don't have a diagnosis, but i'm suffering from many, many of the same symptoms, looking for help on how to deal with it.

    • Close Gay & Lesbian Teens

      I found out a month or so ago that I was a lesbian. I've accepted myself and it's helped me in life tremendiously. I told my parents, like, last month. I wanted to be honest with them, I didn't want to lie, I didn't want them to find out from anyone but me. ...they took it decently. Are in denial.

    • Open Eating Disorders

      Off and on, I decide I dont' desurve to eat, so I quit for a few days and usually get very sick, tired, can't move, can't think. I'm fine at the moment, but i'm worried eventually i'll go back to not eating.

      Treatments

      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My friends noticed I hadn't eaten lunch for three days in a row. Then they found out I hadn't eaten in three days, and told me I had to eat or they'd tell my parents.
    • Open High School Stress

      I've been homeschooled my whole life. This semester I tried going to a small school. At first everyone was nice. Now people don't treat me equaly. They look down on me, and are constantly putting me down. Any time I have a bad day they call me an attention whore. But when they have a bad day, everyone goes running to help them like it doesn't happen every week.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Considering
      Not sure...
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      Was fine for a while, but since I guess that I've been depressed mostly off and on for over a year, people think i'm not trying to change things and are tired of me. So I pretend i'm fine...
    • Open Homeschooling

      I've been homeschooling my whole entire life. At 15, I decided I'd better get out of the house more since I'd pulled away from all my conservitive friends, and I started a small school. But it didn't work out for me so now i'm taking collage classes at the community collage.

    • Open College Stress

      I quit highschool cause I was tired of not fitting in and playing by the rules of the state, laws dictating which classes I had to take. I wanted more freedom, so I am now going full time to the community collage as a homeschooler duel enrolled.

    • Open Bipolar Disorder - Teen

      I don't know if I am bipolar, but the doctor said I am. He doesn't listen though so I don't think he knows enough about my situcation to make that statement about me.

    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      My Pdoc thinks I am bipolar. I would accept the diagnosis if he didn't talk over me when I tried to tell him things, or call my dad an idiot from the dark ages, or act like he's so much better than everyone else. NEXT Doctor please.

      Treatments

      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Pulled me out of deep depression but lately I've been having all kinds of different states. Now i'm off of it and it's just continuing.
