Open Question: I self harm myself :/?
I have done it since last year. I have cut a few times and I am tempted to cut now. I have even scratched myself and stuff until I bleed/leave scars with my fingernails. I have starved myself many before when I should eat. I have trouble sleeping at night, too. :/ I want to get better but I am not sure I can. I am too afraid of my best friends and family finding out I do this but a few of my lesser close friends know, oddly enough. I have had a hard life-I have dealt with abuse from my dad and my older brother, mental illness in my family, my parent's divorce, losing a home to foreclosure, death of a loved one, and other things. Yet I feel bad that I complain about my life and I know I should, I mean, others have had harder lives. I managed to get a 4.0 at school this semester (my first time getting a 4.0:), I have best friends that care about me, my sister and I get along pretty well for being 6 years apart, and my mom tries her best, so I am not sure why I still get really depressed. Although, I think some of it is because of heartache. :/ I am not exactly sure what answers I am looking for but I know I have to make this "question." I guess I want to be heard. I am with my best friends right now yet I still feel alone. :/ I want to get better. I want to stop with the self harm but it releases stress and I feel more alive. Ugh. I am in a real internal struggle. Plus my relationship with God needs to be fixed. I believe in him but not as much as I did and I am not sure why. :/ I am rambling badly, I know. I guess I just want any advice, too. Have you ever felt like I do? Have you gone through some things I have? Have you gotten better? :s Is there still hope for me?
@Stephanie, I cannot email you but I added you to my contacts. If you can, can you email me so we can get in touch? :) Thanks. I really would appreciate talking to you since we are so alike!
@Everyone else, thank you for your answers. I am feeling a bit better now, and I can't really say much in reply right now since I have to try to go to bed soon but I really do appreciate your answers.

Open Question: I am worried about loosing my parents?
Hi, I'm 15 years old in my last compulsory year at school. (16 years old in July)
My Dad is 50 and my Mum is 46, they are divorced since i was 4 and both are re-married. (I get on well with their partners) my parents live in the same town and i spend a week each with both of them. But i am quite a quiet person when it comes to spending time with my parents. It's not that i neglect them nor do i disrespect them. I show immense respect. But the problem i have is i do not spend enough time with either of them, and most of my friends like to go out and are developing like a young adult should and begin exploring life without their parents. But i am finding this very hard to do. I want to but it feels like i can not. The reason for this is because i feel guilty that i haven't spent enough time with them. And i now need to now make up that time in my young adult life. I try not to look at this how i currently am but i see it as if they both have 20 years left in them (God forbid any less and i pray they have many more healthy years above 20 years.) But i want to be able to spend time with them and do the things i haven't ever done with my parents that a child should. (It doesn't bother me when it comes to spending time with both of them physically so it's the 3 of us, just some time with me and my dad. and some time just me and my mum.)
I really need to get this sorted because i keep having these terrible dreams about one of them passing away. (God forbid that) and not spending enough time with them. And fear loosing one or both them at a young age. Please may someone help me so that i can spend time with them and still develop how 15/16 year old should by going out with my friends, going out with girls and going to parties with out feeling terrible that i left my parents for them.
Thanks so much, C.

Open Question: A weird urge to watch violent things?
Keep feeling a weird need to watch violent things, such as snakes killing and eating things or people fighting. In fact, when I fed my snake last night, I found funny (for no reason) that the blood from the mouse splattered on the side of the tank as the snake bit into it. It's only started recently. Why?
I know there's nothing funny about it in my mind, but some part of me seems to thing it's HILARIOUS. IT'S NOT BUT IT IS?!!? Usually I hate to see animals get hurt. I am going crazy?

Open Question: I feel insecure about myself and it's killing me?
I am a 19 years of age. I'm a guy. I am always feeling ugly, not good enough, weird, stupid, awkward, and insecure. I don't know what to do anymore. I want to feel confident about myself. I hate being tall & skinny. I want to have more fat in my body, not just muscle. I hate my head. I hope no one thinks here I'm an idiot for thinking this because that's how I feel. I feel so ugly sometimes too. Why is it that sometimes people stare at me a lot? Am I weird? Am I too tall or too skinny? I feel like I'll never be good enough for a girl because I've never had a girlfriend. I've never kissed a girl too. I'm not gay either. I'm attracted to girls. Can someone give me advice? I don't want to go to a church because I still feel the same and church just isn't for me. Thanks!

Open Question: This is so awful. What can I do?
Yesterday I found out we'd been robbed. They took a ton of stuff including a new expensive phone, my bank card and ALL my money.
Now I just feel so damn depressed. I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't AFFORD to eat, I feel so down and just want to cry all the time. I don't want to live in this world any more where so many horrible things happen. There's no concrete proof that I've been robbed so there's no way of catching them and it's ALL MY FAULT and I just HATE myself. I'm so useless and stupid. I used to be so happy...

Open Question: I have Trouble sleeping?
I have been having trouble sleeping for a long time now, about a year, it takes me ages to fall asleep and then i wake up really early and can't get back to sleep. My boyfriend has just split up with me so now its got a lot worse, I am lucky if i get 3 hours sleep now. It is making life really difficult cos am tired all the time, work am finding it near impossible cos am so tired. I have been to the doctors and they was no help at all. Don't know what to do any advice would be great?
