I'm a psychology major currently in school and have been trained in many aspects of counseling. I'm not a trained psychologist of course but think it helps to tell someone without being worried who else will find out or any judgement. I don't really want anyone to know who I am because sometimes I share personal information if I feel like I can relate to the person asking the question. You can call me Aurora. Also If you are anon. please give me some sort of way to address you so I know if you're replying.

Anonymous asked: I just want them to be here for me. I dont really have anything to say, I just dont want to be alone.
In my experience parents usually find out eventually. Telling them now would keep you from feeling anxious about lying. There has to be a reason that you didn’t do as well in school. I did really bad in school one semester and I needed my parents help to get out of trouble. Without them I wouldn’t be able to do it.

Anonymous asked: Im seventeen, I want to kill myself. My boyfriend of 4 years says he never wants to speak to me again and doesnt care if I kill myself. My parents are too busy to talk to me and seem to think Im simply melodramatic.
I don’t think you’re being melodramatic. You just suffered a huge loss leaving you to doubt your whole relationship. What would you say to your parents if they weren’t too busy?

Anonymous asked: well im 16 and a half, i have multiple friends i used to talk to about how i felt but ive had falling outs with all 3 of them - all of which were guys that i shouldnt have let go of because they had my back. one of them was my best best friend who i met in about july last year, we just clicked so well but everyone told me he liked me but i just didnt feel the same but i guess he eventually got sick of hearing about all my issues.
i hate the way i look and who i am. im always getting into nasty situations with these people who are better than me because of who i am and how i act, which i dont understand. i hate the way i look because im not skinny. i know im not fat but im becoming anorexic and sometimes throw up my food but i havent done that in a while. i sometimes ask my self if the way i look effects everything around me but the depression has been off and on in the last 4 years, but something always triggers it to become worse again - like a death, changing schools but then not being able to make friends at the new school.
i should give you a name so you know if im replying or not, just call me gee. easy nick name, i dont want to use my actual tumblr name (:Gee,
Would you feel the same if you were skinny?

Anonymous asked: So I have BPD, GAD, OCD, Bipolar 2, PTSD, Major Depression. I can't seem to even get an ounce better. I have done so many courses eg CBT, DBT and general self-esteem, PTSD and Depression. I've tried all levels of meds including ECT. The Dr has said he is not sure what to do. I don't expect it to change overnight but I would really like my mood to lift. I feel so hopeless. Jas
What about CBT and DBT did work for you?

Anonymous asked: I lied to my parents that I did great in my finals when in fact, I failed everything except for one. My conscience is eating my soul up. I want to tell them. But if I do, they'll disown me and hate me because I failed---it's something I never did in my entire life. I don't fail exams. So, if I tell them the truth...oh dear god, I don't what they'll do.
That’s a lot of guilt. Guilt because you did poorly and because you lied :(. Why did you not do well?
