Okay so comic con is here soon but I'm not to dress up as. I know what I want to dress up as but I can't because I'm Indian and my skin tone doesn't match. Im also allergic to face paint so I can't be too wacky. I've been pocahontas for a while now. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!!

After waiting for a year, I've had 3 doctor visits, 5 referrals and 6 assessments and nobody will tell me what's wrong. I've been told I might have:

Depression

Psychosis

Schizophrenia

Psychotic Depression

Borderline personality disorder

Anxiety

I've been told a diagnosis is not important but to me it is so I can understand myself better. I've been prescribed quietiapine and anti depressants and therapy but nobody will tell me what it is for. Am I in the wrong? Thank you so much

So I'm 19 and my mom is 37 and everyone constantly compares me to her. Most the time nobody calls me by name and calls me hers. All my friends are her friends because she won't let me have friends on my own because she will want to come with us if we go out. Everyone is always asking me 'where is your mom' 'your wouldn't do what your doing' and 'youve dressed like your mom today'. When my mom was sick all they asked was about her and nobody asked me how I was doing as I was caring for her despite she daily was verbally and mentally abusive. I have psychosis and nobody ever asks me how I'm doing. It's always about her.

I can't go out without her and she frequently blames me for taking away her youth. EVERYONE always says 'is that your mom I thought you were sister's and I ******* hate it.

Nobody seems to accept me for who I am because my whole life revolves around my mom. I know it sounds petty but how do I stop being so funked off?

Thank you.

Im 19, I have 3 A-Levels in grades A and B, I speak 4 languages, I have Diploma in Business and Administration and now I am a voluntary translator and have a little job as a cleaner. I have had previous admin experience but I was let go because I wasn t smiling enough in the office. I keep getting turned down everywhere, even from Fast Food restaurants. I m so frustrated because I am constantly applying for everything and I can never seem to get an Interview. I know this is going off on a tangent but I seriously need a job so I can learn to drive and move out from a broken home. I find it frustrating that I know someone who is 16 and got the first job she applied for and is making up to £200 even though she lied on her CV. Perhaps its a little jealousy. Is there anything wrong with me? :/ Thank you for reading.

Hello there,

long story short i dont feel any emotions at all. People always say to me im always too serious and stern looking but im fine. I dont feel anything for my friends and have absolutely no problem not talking to any of them for months or even years at a time.

I dont even feel anything for my family at all and people have even said to me its abnormal about how much i dont care about my family.

I just dont feel anything and i dont know why?

I have a had depression before, and i have had an assessment for Schizophrenia but it was never completed.

Ive had counselling for many years due to mental abuse.

Should i seek help?

Thank you!

A few months ago i was a Business and Administration apprentice. I was only there for 3 weeks but still received 1 paycheck. Should i bother?

Thank you!

I am 18 and i live with my mother currently. She has always been verbally, mentally and even at times physically abusive. I just can t take it anymore and i need to "breathe" as it were. I understand i am still young, but my plan is to save like crazy and make sure i am financially stable to leave home. But my mom has been blackmailing me saying that if i leave, she ll never talk to me again. She says that she needs to control me and exercise her headship over me. I don t want to come across as a rebel teen who cant live by rules. I agree with my mom that she is the head, but i feel so drained staying at home. I am a bad person?

Thank you.

even from a young age, I've never loved momom and she resents me for it. She's always been mentally and verbally abusive and has physically gone for me but I'd defended myself. I have no other family and I don't really have friends. Today she was screaming at me in the car because I didn't answer her question quick enough. She called me horrendous names per usual and told me to F off. I went off to somewhere quiet and called a helpline. I tried to call some of my friends but nobody picked up for hours. A few people walked by, even a police man and asked if I was okay because I was visibly upset. I feel really embarrassed now because people think it's just a tiff but it's not. My mom's depressed and takes everything out on me. She says sorry but only goes and does the same thing the next day. I'm old enough to move out, but I can't. I'm tired of saying sorry when it's not my fault, I've tried to get her help, she doesn't want it, I've written letters and verbally tried to tell her how I feel, but in the end she just says I've driven her to it. I know she hates me because she had me young. I'm the only family she's got but she continually attacks me either with words, spreading lies or even taking my bedroom door off its hinges and trashing my room. I'm exhausted and I don't know what to do. Is it bad I just don't want a relationship with my mom? She isn't bad, but her behaviour is destroying me. I'm really sorry it's long. It's been a long day. Thank you so much to everyone

Hiya,

ive had 7 driving lessons and im still struggling to find the biting point. When im driving normally, im fine but when it comes to stopping and starting i start panicking really badly because i know im going to stall the car. I understand how the point works, but i just cant physically get hold of it. My driving instructor said i should stop learning particularly in a petrol car, but i told her i didnt want to give up. Is it bad that i still stuggle with the biting put after 7 lessons: :(

Thanks!

hi,

I've had 7 lessons (twice a month) and I'm really struggling. I'm on the main roads, but I can't find the biting point for the life of me, I'm still stalling and I just can't balance the clutch and the gas. my instructor today suggested I should try automatic but then said driving isn't for everyone. she said I should of got the hang of the clutch by now. Should I just give up?

Thank you :)

Hiya.

so basically I'm a bit stuck. A couple of years ago it's was strongly suggested to me by counsellor so that I was schizophrenic. I heard one voice in my head, he has a name, I couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy and hemail told me to do things. I never got a medical diagnosis because the people who did the assessment never came back. That was under 3 years ago but now I feel more control of it and I am aware that he doesn't exist but I need him. I've made a doctor's appointment but I'm worried if I'm just exaggerating and making a fool of myself. I'm so embarrassed and ashamed. should I cancel the appointment? amember I just being silly?

thank you for reading that and answering. I really appreciate it.

Hi, so long story short im going mad. i live with my mom and have no extra family or support. my mom has had depression on and off and can be aggressive. She is verbally and emotionally abusive and my consellor has suggested to get social services involved but im petrified if it doesnt work. Im 18 in 2 weeks and i have had enough of being treated like rubbish, humiliated in public because she likes to cause a scene, im trying to do all the housework but its hard to keep up because im in full time education. I know this is going to sound really bad, but i dont love my mom and i think she needs professionel help. sorry for the rant, but please anybody could you give advice? thanks a lot.

Okay,

well i heard a pretty loud scream coming from my moms room, and found a massive spider running across the room. While my mom was having a nervous breakdown i tried to catch it with the vacuum but it moved to fast, and it was NOT going to fit down the tube...i got called a "colourful" range of vocabulary by my mom for not catching it but anyways..

Anyway, i found it again but it couldnt climb the walls, ( it was so big you could HEAR it dropping off the wall every time it tried")

anyway, it ran away and downstairs. This was last night and now its lunchtime. ive been round the house and i havent found it.

Im petrified its going to come back again. Any advice? :'(

p.s- i think it might be a giant house spider

i dont really know much about India. i've had Indians come up to me in the past and tell me "im not indian" or im a "useless indian" because i've been lucky enough to be brought up in the UK. I've been badly bullied by other Indian girls because i dont have the "big family" you'd accosiate with Indians, the caste system and stuff..It sort of feels like i dont "qualify" being Indian. Also, i hate the Asian features. i HATE being tanned and stuff. I feel like i have to be sorry for the way i look (its strange i know). I just feel..crappy.

But because i dont "qualify" for being Indian, i apparently dont "qualify" for being british because i dont have the physical features of English people. I know this might sound like a sweeping statement, but i feel if i wasnt Indian, my life would be a whole lot easier.

Im really sorry if this seems like a big rant, but im tired of really really ashamed of my heritage and feeling worthless because of it.

How do i get over it?

Thank you to everyone in advance!

This has been going on for a while but I literally can't stand the noise of people clearing their throats. I know it sounds ridiculous but I can't help it. It started when my mom had throat problems and for the past 4 years, it's all I hear all day,everyday. It drives me insane to the point where it carries on in my head. The fits of anger I have are incontrollable and I could do very violent things. Please help me because it's ruining my life. Thank you.

What role do settings play in enhancing the themes and characters of the Great Gatsby?

I have ideas but im just really struggling to put it into words..any ideas?

Thank you!

Someone asked me this question about the English language, but im not sure how to answer it..any ideas? All answers are appreciated!

"1) for vs to when relativity is expressed. "It seems fine to me" is correct, I know, but does it always depend on the verb? Or you can just say that "for" is about purpose and benefit. But benefits are also relative... What would you do? "This night was too short to me"?

2) I´m in constant trouble with inversion. I understand questions and indirect questions and there is/are which are the very basis and normal... And there are other phrases that need inversion, I´m a bit shaky with them. But everything else becomes a bit blurry... I think that I deal mostly with adjectives at the beginning of a sentence."

Thank you!

A few days ago my jaw started to click. Later on it started to become really stiff and lock a little. Now its really sore but it doesnt click anymore? does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

I dont know if this is any use, but i do have braces and elastics. The pain started to happen when my tooth just shifted, caused a lot of pain too...but i dont know if that has anything to do with it :(
