My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for about half a year. Facts alone, things are great. He treats me well. He's emotionally available and expresses his feelings for me. There's little to no drama. He introduces me to family and friends. We've moved into the comfortable phase fairly...

After a lot of introspection and meditation, I recently came to the realization that a big part of my feelings of loneliness/emptiness stem from a deep, deep hatred of myself. All this hatred has been built up from years of disappointments (like constantly falling short of my expectations and...

I'm not ready to share this burden with anyone close to me yet. I thought maybe anonymous strangers could give some objective advice. I can see my life beginning to spiral into hell. My father has been mentally unwell and may be out of his job soon. Because of all the stress my mother might...

I just realized lately that maybe I'm experiencing depression. For the longest time I've fluctuated between not being able to stop crying and feeling nothing at all (numb and emotionless when I should be reacting emotionally to something). I can barely eat or sleep. And, I completely hate myself...

I was asked the other day what I wanted out of life. And I had no answer. That's when I realized, I want nothing. I think I've lost myself and become useless to this world. I just feel like I am in a very dark dark place right now. All alone, incredibly selfish, so tired of carrying my burdens...

I'm not sure what you guys will think about this. I get the feeling that many virgins over 20 are virgins more so because of circumstances than because of chance. Apparently, I'm in different boat all on my own. I'm one of those "waiting for the right person" type of people, but I'm starting...

You know how some people are motivated by people telling them they CAN'T do something? Well that doesn't work for me. I just feel dumb. I second guess myself so much...sometimes I go from a good/right decision to a bad one. So it just becomes this endless cycle of I'm dumb. Failure. See, I am...

I'm falling apart emotionally. I've become an emotional mess..and I can't seem to fall asleep. Whenever something good happens...I just think it's luck....if I do well in a project/assignment or on a test....I think its the professor being nice on grading. Whenever something bad happens...I am...

Everyone's gone for Spring break...including all my housemates. I decided to save money and stay...but sitting in an empty house is depressing. Plus, another problem has been on my mind. I recently had a falling out with a guy friend that was close enough to be called my boyfriend. I had never...

I don't feel like one person. I see myself has many, many personas, ranging from very shy, gentle, loving to vain, slutty, and violent....and so much more. I don't think it's a multiple personality disorder...just a bunch of contradicting alter egos. Each person that meets me sees a different...

....so I try not to fall in love at all. Does the concept of falling in love scare anyone else? Edit: I guess what I mean is...opening up and completely trusting someone. I don't open up very easily to people, and putting my trust and affection into a person that was once a stranger seems odd...

Today, I just suddenly broke down. I've been hiding in my room for at least 6 hours trying to get over things and stop crying...but I haven't quite been able to. What's worst is that I feel like there's no one I can talk to or be with as a shoulder to cry on. I don't think I've ever been this...

Most people don't notice me. I'm easily forgotten. I have horrible self-esteem. I never feel good enough. I think everyone is disappointed in me. I believe I have inherited a curse to a life of disappointment and unhappiness. The list can go on.... It's just a vicious cycle of feeling...

I've walked this earth for 21 years as an individual with no Y-chromosome. In other words, I'm a 21 year-old female. Not sure how to start. I have so much to say and it's hard to know anyone from just an introduction. Essentially, I have denied myself from admitting that I feel alone. (Warning...
