Why is self harm so bad
Self-Harm Recovery / by b00kishbard

...See more I know this sounds bad but what’s so bad about self harm? Like obviously I don’t want my friends to cause themselves pain because they just don’t deserve it. But I do deserve to feel pain, so what’s so bad about cutting myself? 
adderall crash

...See more I recently started taking adderall, and I take a second dose at 1 pm so it wears off at around 6 pm. I notice that when it wears off I get easily irritated, I want to cry, and overall I just feel grumpy. What can I do to help stop these feelings? (Taking the morning dose later to make the afternoon dose later and wear off later isn’t an option for me)
overcoming guilt

...See more when I was a child, I had many violent meltdowns and tantrums because of undiagnosed mental health conditions. I recently started trying to figure out why I SH and all my buried feelings came up about this. I feel extremely guilty for ruining my childhood and putting my parents through that. I’ve heard my mom talk about how I changed the family dynamic and now everyone constantly has to walk on eggshells around me. I rarely have meltdowns anymore but I feel like everyone resents me for it and I ruined all fun experiences, like vacations and holidays because of it. It’s been really weighing on me because I just feel so guilty and sad. I disrupted our entire family almost every night with my kicking and screaming and tears and that’s not something I can feel fine about.  the whole point of this is that I desperately need help overcoming this. I can’t talk to my parents about this because I feel to bad and I’d start sobbing. 
self esteem and leadership roles
Self-Esteem / by b00kishbard

...See more I’m not really sure if this is the right place to post this so I’m sorry if it’s wrong!! I got chosen to be a leader-in-training for a summer program recently, but I struggle with extremely low self esteem and self confidence. I truly do not believe I should have been chosen because I am shy and really not a good leader. I know I was the last choice too.  I just need some tips on how to fake it. Like in a conflict situation: how am I supposed to diffuse something like that? I feel so unworthy of the position and I’m scared everyone knows and won’t listen to me if I tell them to do anything, or if I mess up and I get demoted. I need to conquer this fear because I’m really stressed!

...See more Does anyone have any tips on curbing cravings late at night? After dinner, I always want something sweet and once it gets a little later I’ll want a snack as well. I know I don’t need one because I already ate dinner and a dessert but I can’t help it!
Is it easy to ignore compulsions?
OCD & Related Behaviors / by b00kishbard

...See more I’ve been considering if I have OCD or not, and I do some things like touching something to make it feel “even”, or blinking really hard until I feel satisfied. I can ignore these feelings, and I don’t always have an intrusive thought that accompanies them. Is it still OCD behavior if I can try to ignore and not listen to these compulsions? Normally I just do it because it’s easier but I don’t NEED to do whatever it is.
