about

I'm bipolar and obsessive compulsive. That makes life an interesting ride all on its own. I'm constantly discovering new reserves of strength within myself, and I enjoy listening and helping where I can. I'm extremely averse to drama, and I prefer my interactions with others to be calm and peaceful.

I cant figure out how to create a new lab. I hit Save Changes when Im done entering all the details and it essentially refreshes the page and doesnt submit the information. Frustrating!

3 answers, latest by justontime: I have a similar problem. I cant work out how to leave a lab that I no longer want to be a member of.

Im so alone, and Im so lonely. My head is f*cked up, and the unforgiving nature of the outside world makes it that much harder to deal with. Im sick of being alive in a society where Im not wanted, dont fit in, and have no place. Im sick...

Hey, and if none of those suggestions work, remember this-you don't HAVE to get along with your family. It's not in the rulebook or anything. If you don't get along with your cousins, it's not a big deal. That's what friends are for. Be friendly, ...

You don't get out of the house and you think your life sucks BECAUSE of the depression. The depression is lying to you. You need to get out of the house exactly once-to see a doctor and get on antidepressants. See where it goes from there. :)

You need to contact social services right away. They will be able to give you and your sister the help you both need. You both deserve to be in an environment where you can be taken care of. You do not need the responsibility of worrying about whe...

Go to camp. You can't do that as an adult, and I'd love to be able to do that again.

I think that abortion is a complicated issue. There is no black and white answer to your question because people aren't black and white. Our lives are full of color and shades of grey. There are as many reasons for having an abortion as there are ...

You have no obligation to have sex with anybody if you are not comfortable doing so. There are all kinds of men out there that will take advantage of you if you allow them to. You're reaching the age where having sex is a possibility, and thusly y...

Anonymity is important. It allows people to be who they are and express views they might not otherwise be able to in a real-world environment, be it because of fear of reprisal from their communities or religious oppression. There is a darker side...

You sound a lot like I did before I got treatment for my bipolar disorder. Your moods change rapidly and without seeming cause, you're planning one career one day and another the next, and are generally all over the board with no real purpose. I t...

I'm bipolar too, and trust me, a little anxiety pill ain't gonna do shit. Your rapid cycling is much like my own, and you need to be on a medication that controls the mania, like Depakote or lithium, and you also need to be on an antidepressant to...

A good friend of mine had her baby when she was 14. She had strong family and community support, and she finished high school and college while raising her child. You can too. You're going to be just fine. Remember-your education is the most imp...

You're not an energy vampire. You're mentally ill. Go back and read what you typed. No, really read it. You're sullen, you're sulking, you're miserable, you admit to experiencing depression since childhood, you lash out at people, and you walk thr...

I'm not really happy with my weight. I need to lose about 60 pounds of fat, and I'd really like to put on muscle and become stronger. For me it's less about how fat I am and more about how weak I am. I'd like to join a gym and get a 6 pack of abs ...

People get nervous around other people for any number of reasons. She could be attracted to you, or you could be way off. There is only one way to find out for sure. ;)

As a 17 year old female, your girlfriend's hormones are still very much out of whack and are adjusting themselves constantly to the internal requirements of a growing body. I have skipped my period and been late more times than I can count, and it...

People often attach themselves to fantasy characters and storylines as a way to escape a life they aren't satisfied with. Focus on making the life you have better, and you won't feel like that anymore. :)

You just do. You just keep moving forward. There isn't anything special about it-you just keep putting one foot in front of the other, hour by hour, day by day, making the choices that will lead you to independence, and in time, you'll be out of t...

What kind of hurt? If it's a burning pain, you probably have a simple urinary tract infection. I got them chronically until my doctor told me to take a whiz immediately after I had sex. It clears out your urinary tract so bacteria can't stick arou...

I've been in a relationship like that. I think at one point or another we all have been. You certainly aren't alone in your experiences. What you are dealing with is verbal abuse and emotional neglect, and you do not deserve to cope with that. Nob...

I don't know. What I do know is this-everyone that has experienced abuse has the inherent strength and the responsibility within them to choose what they will make of their past experiences. Are you going to overcome the past and stop the cycl...

Well, in the United States, the first thing that happens is your birth. Then you're issued a birth certificate and the Social Security Administration sends you your Social Security card through the mail. Then, as long as nobody steals your identit...

If you ever hear a song you don't know the name of that you'd like to find out more about and you only have a few lines or words to the lyrics, just plug what you know into google with the word lyrics after it and it should come up.

Single parents survive and thrive every day. You need to find the strength within yourself that is within every mom to do what is right for yourself and your baby. The strength is there, I promise you. You just have to dig deep and seize it. If y...
