Open Eating Disorders
Type: Bulimia

i was obese at 8, almost anorexic at 11, and bulimic at 14. i guess you could say ive had my share of eating disorders

Open Sexual Abuse

i had a boyfriend who sexually abused me, and he was a real sicko. Things got horribly bad, and now were awaiting trial for him on 6 different felony charges

Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

My ex-boyfriend is now in jail for sexually abusing me, but theres much more--he threatened to kill me and stalked me and called me from blocked numbers to harrass me, and now that he's in jail, he cant do anything to me, but he'll find people who can. I'm afraid of when he gets out, because the guy is huge and dangerous, and im afraid of my safety, and if im married when he gets out, what if he goes for them? it may all sound irrational, but i know him way to well, and he will come after me

Open Family Issues

I have a dysfunctional family. We drink, throw food and things at each other, my parents make sexual jokes all the time, and dont care who they'e offending, its all fun and games sometimes, but when the horrible fights break out, and my mom runs away because she feels insecure, and when my mom hits me, things get quite a bit sour

Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

I have low blood sugar--if i dont eat for a while i get really moody and i have big headaches and my heartbeat speeds up. idk, but its not fun

Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Sibling

I almost lost my sister to to a burst artery in her stomach. I know i didnt actually lose somebody, but i want to help anyone who has, because i know its truly painful in so many ways

Open Obesity

I was obese at age eight. I weight about 130 - 140 pounds, and the kids teased me so badly. I had hypertension as well, and swollen ankles, and a number of issues at so very young

Open Female Sexual Issues

Ever since i was sexually abused daily by my now- ex boyfriend, my sex drive has been very strange. I'm very jumpy and jittery, and the guys dont know why, and then it feels at times like i want to break loose and do stupid things ( sexual ).

Open Coming Out

I'm straight, but i have friends who are gay/bi, and i want everyone whos hiding their sexuality to know that they should come out and tell people. I know its much easier said than done, but telling people will show you who your real friends are. Maybe start out by telling a close friend you trust, and then move up from there. Good luck to all of you!! *many hugs*

Open Miscarriage

i had a miscarriage at 25. lat week actually. I'm not sad-i wouldn't be able to support a baby, but i feel strange. It was painful( physically) but im here to help anyone who needs someone to talk to on this subject*hugs!*=)

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

I have alot of friends who do drugs, smoke, drink, etc. Its sad-although im an alchoholic myself. My boyfriend keeps me away from it, and he says he "wont let me" drink. He smokes, and i dont know how to comfront him that i want him to quit, for i care about him as well.

Open Self-Injury

I used to cut myself ALOT. people said it helped, that it gave you a "good" feeling, or whatever. it never did that for me. it only stung and bled. I cut myself 37 times on one wrist at the same time, and knew i had hit rock botto. i think i hit a vein. it was painful and bloody. the last time i cut myself was about a week ago-on my hip, so people wouldn't know.

Open Healthy Relationships

Right now me and my boyfriend are having "complications. i know this may not mean the end, but its still hard to cope. i havent seen him in a couple of week, and i miss him terribly. i havent talked to him in a week, and he isnt returning my calls. Im upset with him for it, but i just want things to get better for us. I know that if he wanted to break up with me he would-hes straightforward like that. but hes still sticking it out with me. i need help

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

My mom used to hit me-mostly out of frustration. its the emotional part that scars the most...

Open War in Iraq

i support the troops, not the war. The war is all polital, all based on opinions, and it shouldn't be that way. My cousin was in the war at one point, and had to do the dirty work (well, none of its pretty). he had to check places before anyone got there, to make sure it was safe ( no bombs, etc ) My family wanted him out bad, and im glad hes home safe now. I pray the war will end
