I think I have severe anxiety and maybe depression. I think it stems back to when my parents got divorced when I was in third grade and I bottled up my emotions and act like I'm completely fine when I'm not. People know me as the funny person of the group and I think I hide behind comedy to cope with my fear of not being liked. I feel like people use me for advice and then drop me. One friend was talking to me about how another girl was being rude to her and I was comforting her and the next day they become best friends. I don't know who I trust or who I should be friends with. I just want everyone to like me and school pressures are getting to me, wanting A's and getting B's while everyone else succeeds and I fail. I think I'm going to fail all my exams I don't have the motivation to try anymore. What should I do about this? I'm in middle school.

My father was paying for my mortgage for years which he wanted to do to help and it was his decision. I started dating somebody who turned out to be a co-dependent person and I ended up supporting both of us. However it started to take toll in many ways including finances. The mortgage was covered by my dad's retirement and through the years it was decreasing in amount but the retirement fund that was transfered through the bank stayed the same. I was in debt and finally the money was such temptation that for years I was using up the leftover amount- the difference between what was taken for the mortgage and the actual retirement. My father never found out about it because when it was time to make a closing on the mortgage I paid it. It however feels heavy to carry and as if there is a gap between us with my dad.I felt it was finally necessary to let it off my chest and out of my system cause I consider myself honest and straightforward. It was a shame that I carried for so long.

If it weren't for my boyfriend I probably would have hardcore relapsed into self-harm by now. I want to cut so bad, but I know he would see the injuries and be sad and disappointed. I don't want to be a disappointment to anyone else. I'm just so sad and worthless feeling all the time. I was treated like, and raised to believe, that I am nobody and I think I'll always feel that way. But as long as he loves me there's proof that maybe I'm not that worthless after all. I could be a better girlfriend. I'm trying really hard to tread this water. I just hope I don't get exhausted and drown.

I'm a married stay at home mom. I love my husband a lot, but his hours make spending time together nearly impossible. When we do find time, we rarely have sex. My sex drive is 3 or 4 times more than his, both before and after our baby was born. I constantly want sex for this reason, and I've taken to writing erotic novels under a pseudonym to give me an outlet for my fantasies. The problem is, I don't find our sex to be fulfilling. He comes quickly, and while I wouldn't call him a selfish lover, he's not as attentive to my needs as he was in the past. I have to use other means to get temporary satisfaction since I'm not willing to cheat on him. I just don't know what to do abt our lackluster sex life anymore...

I'm a 20 year old female and I've been addicted to pornogroahy and masturbation since I was at the end of my twelfth year. I have been unable to admit it is an addiction for some time but I am ready to admit it now and recieve help. I have seen a very wide variety of degenerate sex. I also had a pregnancy scare in September. I shared that with people I cared about. I block out my addiction because I dont know how to cope without it or be alive without it

I nearly threw myself in front of a train once, at least that's what I lied to myself, in reality I knew I never would and was so ashamed that I feared death that I just pretended that I was close to suicide. The reason I wanted to believe the lie is because I thought it gave me more power over my life and how I deal with loneliness and the fear of being stuck where I was or that I hadn't grown or changed in any way from that time terrified me

i've been abused in every way since childhood, i really haven't shared this testimony in complete before. all kinds of violence, abuse and even torture has been done to me. by my family and by other people, by school people, adults, kids, animals (a dog tried to drown me as kid) and whatnot. i was always bullied in school, pretty harsh violence actually too and got picked on about random stuff everywhere. i became very angry and hateful, but then became vegan, then a Christian. now i've forgiven everyone and wish everyone all the Best and Salvation too. <3 God really Saved and Healed me first through vegan (my body was a mess) and now Christian Journey. i now Love God and other people indescribably much. How Good He is, first He got me up to shape through veganism, detoxed and healed my body, and then He healed my Soul, me completely. i Love Jesus! <3 have a very blessed and good weekend <3 Christian Love ?

Feel really bad about a comment I said out loud last night at a bar whilst drunk. Me and a friend were admiring the posterior of a friend of a friend who was near where we were standing when another girl walked up to the bar near us who also was really attractive. I then leaned to my friend and said something to the effect of, “that chick in the green, ‘looks like we have a new challenger!’ “. I noticed that the dude she was possibly with turned and looked at me which made me think I drunkenly said this louder than I thought. Nothing happened from it, but it’s this, I guess some would call ‘toxic masculinity’, that I hate that I sometimes do. Trying to be better. Probably should ease up off the sauce. That is all.
