I've forgotten who posted something about this earlier, but i saw the Lifetime movie called Prayers for Bobby... and it was amazing, honestly.  It's such a touching story (although the book is VERY good, too) but the movie really gives you that feeling of understanding and empathy... I cried nearly every 15 minutes.  If you haven't seen it or read the book, it's definitely worth it!

Borderline Personality Disorder

Hi I am a 19 year old girl that was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. My family wants little to nothing to do with me and I am starting to loose friends. I have one really close friend who is like a dad to me that is really taking on the responsibility and its getting really hard on both of us. Since I was just diagnosed I am just now starting DBT thearpy. I am having a tough time and need suggestions on how people can help me. Especially those i live with on a daily basis. I am feeling very alone and overwhelmed and like I am in this black hole and everytime someone throws me a rope and i get half way up they let go and I hit bottom again and I hit hard. If anyone has any suggestions about how people can help me or things I can do for my self please share!

See, I really cannot stand when people try to act all innocent. Yeah right, I'm sure you have let out a swear or two. what are ya?? Jesus?
ummm im sorry darling, but i dont think that she is implying that letting a swear word slip once and a while is '"bad" and if you had read her post you would know that she is not saying that she is all innocent. but instead letting people know her feelings and im pretty sure dr phil has this on his website to  support people not put them down. so if thats all your going to do then find somthing else to do!

Quote From: eric6508

Hey everyone my name is Eric and I'm 17 years old, and here's my story...

Ok me and this girl name Theresa are in love with each other, were both right for each other, we both make each other laugh, we both make each other feel good about them self, were just so right for each other...But there a catch to this perfect love, her mom don't want us together. I can understand why her mom don't want us together, because Theresa is only 13 years old. But the thing I want to know, dose age mean anything? To me. and her age is just a number. Me and her look at it, were both in love, we both are right for each other, so can we just be togehter in peace? With out everyone bugging us about ae age and stuff. If anyone can help me out here, that would be great....

Thanks...
hey hun, i can understand why your g/fs parents are a little upset. im a mother of 2 girls and it would concern me. i dont know what kind of a kid you are but have you tried to get to know them so they can know who you are and who there daughter is with. im sure the whole sex thing scares the crap out of them a 17 year old boy with rageing hormones wanting to be alone with there daughter ....no way  but have you sat down and talked to them about that. tell them to make rules and respect what they have to say, be honest with them. 13 is pretty young  and things change maybe back off for a while and if you guys really love each other, try again down the road. i thought i was in love many times and something better came along. but the best advice i can give you dont make her parents angry cuz thats a bad way to start any relationship. i hope everything works out for you!

it will get better

Quote From: the_idealist

  I understand what you are saying. And here are some important things to remember... as they will all eventually make sense to you when you experience them:

 

                 Nothing will ever replace your best friend, but it's important to talk to others about your fun memories with your friend.  And in telling these stories... you'll have your friend there with you for a breif moment in time. Take the good stories and keep them close to your heart.

 

                 Girl! It's time to start looking in the mirror and seeing that you are beautiful just the way that God made you. If we all looked the same... life could get pretty confusing. Love your differences and believe with all of your mind and heart  that you are beautiful because YOU REALLY ARE!

   

                 School can be a very tough atmousphere now days. Parents can't really understand sometimes how much High School really has changed since they attended. People can be seriously cruel and insensative. The problem is that everyone treats school like a social hour now. That's where drama and he said she said is born, but you must remember that you have the power to choose what kind of woman you want to be. If someone is bullying you... calling you names like "dork" or picking a your weight or how you dress or look... flash forward in your mind 8 years from now when you are interviewing this person for a job because... while they were too busy picking on people... you actually learned something in school and are now "The boss". Be proud of yourself girl and know that you deserve only the best.

 

 

                                                            All that matters is what you believe!

 

Take care Whitney.

your 16? your still young. things will get worse and im sorry. things will get bad, and then it will all get better. trust me...ive been through a heck of a lot. im sorry aout your loss. losing a friend is very hard. but when one door closes another one opens. i use to not believe in god but just a year ago, i looked towards him and he helped me a lot. im 19 and never thought i would have a family already. im the happiest ive ever been. i belive if u live life right, it will all get better for you.

My Battle

I don't know why im typing because you or (staff etc)
get hundreds of messages so I guess I'm just
needing somewhere to put my thoughts.
I'm 15, and I'm from Canada
although it maybe common but I was teased
about my weight etc, when I was a child
and it was so bad i'de even get bitch slaped across
the face when i was 4 by another 4 year old.
I grew up in that type of neighbourhood
the other parents didn't know how to parent
but... it scard me I was homeschooled aswell
I was always shy.. and always told the truth ( as why i didn't fit in by telling the truth )
but the teasing, and being on my own and the physicle flaws it
developed into a depression and into a fear
then grew into a phobia, wait! phobia is the same thing as fear
but I would be afraid to go outside of my apartment it would bring me to tears
i'de get the swets, the shakes, the heart beating, the thinking
and it was also had to do with do I look ok?
etc. and then a year ago almost to this day lol yeah!
I went to go do laundry and I looked and saw a four year old
and I couldn't go in I quickly swiped against the nearest wall
befor she could see me then quickly looked again to see if
she was looking at me then ran up in imbarrisment because my mom
was wondering why I didn't bring up the clothes yet and I had to tell her
why, and right then I knew it became to big expecial when I was going to highschool in 7 months.
but ...... I felt like a weak person ALTHOUGH I know i'm very machure ( every adult calls me machure that sits and talks with me) but..... I began going outside because I wouldn't go outside for 6 months at a time.
I began getting closer to my goal to feeling normal in public not some awkward weirdo
Let me tell you thoughs days everyday was a battle I would pray and pray and pray
I always thought I was stupid like i'de be falling all my classes if i went to school not as smart
as the general population...  but I knew I had the smarts as a therapist does.. just schools another thing.
but I'm happy to anounce!
I've been getting straight A's in applied courses, and i'm semi feel not awkward still quiet and
shy, but... I kinda like that about myself don't need a friend keep me up but.... I do have a boyfriend now lol.
we've knowne chother 3 years over the internet and both our parents agreed and i'm seeing him in July of 09. so, thats my life story and I know mine is far from the worst.

God bless.

Love

I was wondering, is it possible that a person is unable to love. I am 17 and I just feel like I don't have close relationships with my friends and I do not love my parents. My parents are not jerks though, they love me alot and treat me well. They did get divorced a while ago, but I am just now feeling like I can't love. Any advice would be great.
Thanks

depression

I think It would be a good thing for Dr. Phil to do a show on depression and self-injury.  I think that would help me a lot, and possibly help me with my depression.  I wouldn't want to be on the show, but it would be nice if I was able to see other teenagers that are going through the same things as I am
