Same here- I don't actually do it out loud .

I've been having some intrusive thoughts and obsessing over stuff in my head lately. My doctor took me off Zoloft so that's probably the reason.

I had a two weeks break without my medication a couple of months ago. I never felt that bad in my life. It was like the medication had collected all my symptoms and put them into an evergrowing box and kept it closed and when it was gone the box was wide open. Too many wild images, weeks long depersonalization, very frequent meltdowns, all came at once.

Yay I'm 14 today.......and very sick . I have some sort of virus or something. Hugs to everyone here because why not ?

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with that, Butterfly88. I've been having some violent intrusive thoughts lately, and I am scared that part of me actually wants to hurt people and I'm just suppressing that . Intrusive thoughts suck!

^ Happy birthday and get well soon!

Thank you!

Happy Birthday Stampy , hope you have/had a good day. Being ill on your birthday sucks although tbh I was ill on my birthday a while back and it took all the pressure off me and I wasn't expected to do anything social.

Happy Birthday Stamps! I'm very sorry you are sick on your birthday, wish there was something I could do... I hope you get better!

It's scary having violent intrusive thoughts. Sometimes that happens to me when I'm sick. If you need to talk, or a distraction from those thoughts I'm here!

Thank you ! The only problem was, I still went to school . It seems like it was just a virus, and it is better today.

Thank you ! You all are so nice. Thanks for all the happy birthdays !

Thank you! They are a lot better today. I worry all the time about being a psychopath, but today in class we were reading a book about a boy traveling through the desert with very little water/food that was ill and starving. He came across somebody who was almost dead from dehydration. My teacher asked, "How many of you would give the person your little water to save them and possibly end up dying yourself?" or something like that and I raised my hand. There was only 1 other person that also raised their hand, yet I am the one who worry about being a psychopath. I am not trying to brag about how good I am or anything, because trust me, I am a horrible person. I just don't know if the violent thoughts/urges??! and stuff are just part of me that I am suppressing and I really don't care deep down inside, but I feel like I do ! We have done activities like the question my teacher asked today in the past, and I have always chosen the moral option, but I am still so worked since there was a period of time 2 years ago when I actually thought I was a psychopath and "tried to have" some of the traits. I still worry about that so much today, even though I have read that it is normal for kids who read about psychopathy to think that because our brains aren't fully developed yet and we don't really even understand what a psychopath is. I'm just very worried. Sorry for the novel !

Oh yeah by the way, I got my first phone for my birthday (never had a phone before, just a tablet ). I really don't want to become one of those annoying teens who are addicted to their phones, but I am enjoying it so far. It's an iPhone SE! My parents were surprised at my reaction because they didn't think that I would be upset to have a phone . I was happy to get it at first, though.

Happy Birthday, Stampy! Hope you had a good time.

Shame about you being ill though, but hopefully you will get better soon.

Thank you ! I am feeling a bit better today, so hopefully I can still have my little party I had planned on. I had a great time and I didn't expect a phone, since I'm like the only person in my school that didn't have one ! Thanks again for all the kind wishes!

Your welcome , glad your virus? is better

*~HaPpY BiRtHdAy~* to you, Stampy!

I’m sorry I’m late with my birthday wish. I hope you enjoyed your special day! And you continue to enjoy, throughout the week! I am behind in reading, here. And, Ive only managed to get a few words in, here and there, in the games. Will have to catch up, here, and hope to see you in the games, as soon as possible.

Sending a birthday hug, your way!

Love,
Britte

Ah, I’m sorry you had a virus. I’m glad to read you’re feeling better!

I hope you are enjoying your phone! What kind of phone is it? What are the things you are enjoying about it, thus far...?
