A confusing mess really
Personality Disorders Support / by SBJme

 June 17th, 2021
...See more I'll list what I'm about to talk about: hair pulling, head scratching, intrusive thoughts, bad habits, head banging, and less important things... I'll start with the head banging as that's what I just experienced a minute ago. I went to pull out my hair as it's nighttime, my mum was with me (I'm 14), and I felt one tiny pull and couldn't control myself and it's been like this for months now. I stomped once and began shaking in anger and making angry moaning noises, and just had a breakdown in my mums arms. I keep doing this, and I'm not just scared for my own mental health, but for my mum. I don't want to hurt my mum, and I feel guilty and sad when I think about my mum suffering from seeing her daughter hating herself or hurting herself uncontrollably. Anyone who knows anything about random common anger strikes that end in a mental breakdown full of slapping myself and crying? Even as I'm writing this, I itch and scratch my head, even when I have pink faded scars from how much I've done it. It's like I can't stop, I try so damn hard, you gotta believe me. And I know I have to try harder, but how can you tell a starving person to just find food if they're in a desert stranded. I know that's not a good example, and it's quite exaggerated, but that's how I feel when I'm told to keep trying and fighting it. I don't know what I want, understanding? Relatefullness? Cognitive discipline? I also get intrusive thoughts. It started a few years ago when I became 11 or 12 I think. I think 11 going to 12. Now I just want to mention that I've always been someone who holds onto things such as: I sucked my thumb up until I was 9, and none of us know why I randomly stopped one day? Did I just bore my brain of thumb sucking from the womb up to teen? Cause if so I don't wanna live like that when I have new bad habits. I know thumb sucking is kind of gross to talk about, especially what I'm about to say, I just think it's related-- I sucked my thumb nail off once, continued, I sucked with alcohol gel on, nail polish on, I took all the tape off, I did it day and night. And the only positive thing I took from that is that there is still definitely hope. I don't have an overbite and my teeth look normal somehow, they look like a little bit sticking out British teeth. So that means even with all that, it can turn out okay. I went off course, didn't I? Sorry, about intrusive thoughts...it started when I began puberty, basically. I've always been a creative and imaginative mind, in my own world, I was lonely growing up as I had two older brothers who rough housed together, while I'd be outside on my own walking around in circles for hours role-playing entire stories, literally, I remember doing this for ages and ages. I have one memory from when I was probably eight or nine, of me daydreaming in school or at home a few times of me being all the popular and popstar dreams on stage...so that's the furthest back I can think of to what I'm about to mention. I have maladaptive daydreaming, and because I was insecure and getting bullied a lot when I first began high-school, I stopped going entirely and laid in bed all day daydreaming about anime, stories, songs, me in the future doing something I want - - this is another thing - - the daydreams are not of me doing stuff to get there, it's me doing it without effort or work, which is a dangerous daydream. I know I'm not making any specific points, I just wanted to rant and get all this out, tell someone or some people about the stuff I go through, and I like this app because I can hear what you all go through too. The intrusive thoughts started as sexual and became all day everyday, everywhere. It slowed down when I got to my new high-school, and when quarantine happened and I left school, they began again for hours. For a few months, I've been doing the usual recently discovered mental breakdowns and old head picking, no daydreams or intrusive thoughts. I've started daydreaming again, a lot. I don't want to fall back into the viscous cycle, no matter how "fun" daydreaming in the moment is. I did it earlier for a few hours, I've been starting it back up again. And recently...not only are a lot of those action filled, story filled, and definitely sexual filled daydreams back, so are my intrusive thoughts, with a new topic: violence?? I keep getting angry and physical intrusive fantasies about murdering and beating up my loved ones, and me. I don't fantasize for ages, I'm not mesmarized, I hate it when it begins and I shake my head to get rid of it. I feel horrible imagining that they don't know I'm thinking such horrible things about them, and I don't mean it. It means something I'm not admitting, but I seriously do love my parents and siblings.

I killed my fishes
Depression Support / by SBJme

...See more I didn't murder my fishes, I never did it with intent to harm or hurt the fishes, but they died in my bedroom while I was there. I can't get rid of the guilt, it's eating me, and my parents keep mentioning that I murdered my fishes as a joke, even though I clearly cry and react when they do it. Please, I don't want to feel guilty or pain anymore about it. They're dead fishes who died a day after I got them, four of them in a small tank with water too clean. I keep telling myself that's why they died, because that definitely had something to do with it, including shock, but I know I lifted them out the water tank when I saw they weren't moving much, they were still alive, and I kept taking them in and out the water like a fucking idiot thinking me unknowingly choking them would help. I don't know if they died in my hands because of me or if they died because of the shock and water change, but it's killing me

Sleep Deprived

...See more Last night I didn't sleep until 6AM because of my phone, I was on this app. And on usual nights, it's till 2AM that I even get into bed after using the computer or eating. I'm 14, and it just feels horrible. I've got heavy purple bags under my eyes and I look pale and sickly, it just feels wrong to be so declining in health at an early age. My head hurts, my eyes are sore, my chest is warm. Please, I really want some advice and tips, I have no idea how to train myself to get to sleep early, especially with the fact that I have nothing to do all day except browse endlessly. I get that only I can make myself sleep early and it costs mental training, but I really want someone to give me a kick start. 😊
