I think my anxiety is getting worse -much worse! At first I was only afraid of a few places, such as school, and the downtown area. Now it's almost everywhere! I fear just walking from my home to the end of the street to get my little sister. Why is this happening? Is it normal? I'm becoming...

Why is it so hard to get out of the house when you have bad anxiety? I'm terrified of the outside world. I feel as if my home is a safe place for me to hide away for the rest of my life -honestly I know that this isn't possible but a part of me wishes it was. Does anyone else feel as if they are...

As I stand before the world, waiting to be accepted into adulthood, I reflect on my past. I travel back in time, remembering important dates and times. I look at a young girl- she has anger in her eyes. She faces life’s challenges alone- holding her head high she deals. Then within the comfort...

Dying Inside Everyday I wake up, With the same awful feeling in my gut— The feeling of dying, Falling apart a little each day. Someone is chiseling away at my heart, Destroying any hopes of happiness. Everyone says its teenage stress, But do they really know? Try walking in my shoes one day—...

I was told a couple of days ago that I've become rather agressive towards those around me. Not that I hit people and what not but I tend to yell, throw the odd pillow and hit things with my fist. I wasn't like this before, it's just started over the past few months. So this leads to my question...

When I get really upset and everything feels like it's on my shoulders, I cry. But sometimes I get thise weird sensation, it only lasts for about a minute, sometimes two. I also have trouble breathing. It's not that I can't breathe but I breathe very heavily and feel like I can't slow my...

Am I just worrying or is it OCD? This is the question that I'm currently obsessing over. I never thought I'd actualy get this bad, repeating sentences over and over in my head. Coming up with a few different answers and repeating them. Sorry, back to the question. How do you tell the difference...

Ok, well I'm 16 years old and I'm 99.9% sure I have OCD and depression. For one, both run in my family (almost everyone has one or the other). Secondly, I phoned a mental health counciler and they said it sounds like I have OCD and depression. So, next step is to seek help right? Wrong, not for...

I seem to be getting worse and worse. Nothing makes me happy and I'm at the point now where I hate the sound of my family members voices. Is this normal, to hate people and things so much? I just feel like screaming and banging my head against the wall. I've also hate thoughts of suicide before...

Depression runs in my family, on both my Mother's side and Father's. So, the chances of me getting it are pretty high. The reason I'm posting this is because I'm pretty sure I have depression. I'm 16 years old and I also have OCD. Lately I've been really down; my life has just fallen apart. My...

Yes, I'm not diagnosed with OCD but it is plainly obvious. It's controlling me now. I'm a 16 year old girl who would rather scrub her entire house than catch a movie. Then I have all the signs of depression; so it's not just the controling but the sadness. I have silly fears. I am afraid of the...
