[Unleashed Squiid]

I genuinely need help. This is scaring me so much and I need to know what is happening!

So I only just realized something. I tend to have very realistic, vivid dreams. I can feel everything that happens as if it were real.
Last night I had this scary dream where I was fighting these monsters and one of them attacked me and started biting me. Not a big deal, right? Just a dream? Well I woke up because in the dream I felt every single tooth sink into my skin and it hurt terribly-it was like the pain you'd feel in real life and when I woke up, the pain didn't stop. Then I realized while I was dreaming I was cutting into my body with my finger nail so hard it was leaving marks and pushing down on my stomach to simulate the feelings to make it more real in the dream without even knowing it. Is it possible that when you're asleep your mental filter to not hurt yourself is numbed? Could I accidentally kill myself?

A lot of times I will wake up with blood under my nails and wonder what happened and scratches that I have no clue where they came from.

Today my stomach hurt so much I'm genuinely scared I did something to it. Whenever I get hurt in my dream I know why it hurts now.

Another example:
Once a few years ago I was choking in my dream as well and almost died? I remember it in vivid detail as if it happened yesterday. I woke up completely out of breath shaking and with tears in my eyes. I thought it was such a realistic feeling that I thought it could have been real. Now I realize it actually could have been real...

It's actually pretty common for people to lack this filter in one way or another. I mean, sleepwalking is pretty common. People do all kinds of things in their sleep. You should see a doctor since you're actually harming yourself, though. The dream was actually your brains way of explaining the pain you were feeling, not the other way around, and it's definitely possible to do something dangerous in your sleep, so please talk to an adult about this.

Eep, alright. I'll try to bring it up. I was planning on it but not quite sure what to do. Thank you for the advice and explaiation. I'll do my best to get help.

I don't quite know how to word this, sorry if this ends up rambling or is weirdly short.
I am a younger person, still under my parents legal guardianship. My mother found out I had a Facebook and got so mad. I was Facebook friends with one person, the one person who I love. Now I have only youtube as a means to contact her which is really hard for me.
My grades in school are starting to slide, which my mother will certainly find a way to use to make me miserable.
Ok sorry about that I just needed to get that off my chest.

hello there, i'm zombie,
and i'm here to offer my free services to people who need it.

the reason i hesitate to post on this thread, is not for my own problems, but because of what will happen.
what i mean by that, - when reply to someone by quoting their answer, - they soon edit it the message to 'nvm',
and ask me to remove what i'd written because of anxiety problems, - or they were tired when they wrote it.
which is completely fine, and i understand that !! - But to be safe, - I will just PM you c:

I cant help with everything, - but here is what i can do.

( x ) help with dreams / nightmare issues
( x ) stress, - and physical and mental steps to get rid of it.
{ the things i will tell you, will get rid of the stress, - not the problem causing it entirely, but i'll try }
( x ) Comfort - I will be your fortress, - don't worry, on this thread, i'm not judgemental at all, and i will
put you first instead of my own opinions.

but overall, a friend ! - I love to socialise, - but for many, the site gets a bit lonely.
don't worry aha, - i'm a bit of an awkward fish as well ^^; - but i will try my best to keep
the conversation, and our friendship going !

have a wonderful day / evening / night.
feel free to PM me about anything !

Depending on your age, it's understandable that she'd get upset, especially with a site that requests your personal information so others can easily find you. Try asking her if you can get your Facebook account back. Don't be surprised if she has you give her the login information: my mom made me give her my Facebook login information when I first signed up maybe 7-8 years ago. Now as I'm older, my mom doesn't monitor me anymore, which I suppose is a trust thing.

Parents always want the best for you. If your grades are starting to slip, don't leave them to be discovered by your mother. Find a way to get them back up there. If you're not sure how, talk to your teachers, or even ask your mother for advice.

Today was terrible.
I had to wear dress clothes for a meeting with the mayor of my town and they show every curve of my body.
I'm too feminine and I hate hate hate it.
My waist curves like a woman's and my thighs are incredibly large for a guy's.
I feel like the guys who flirt with me only do it because I look feminine.
It's so annoying and I hate my body.
I'm an okay weight for my height according to my doctor, but I always feel so fat.
I hate it.
I just want to have a normal body without my stupid thoughts and curves and everything.
I'm sick of being mistaken for a girl at school.

okay okay. very stupid rant up ahead. i don't need
a reply but if you do that's chill. jdiajs. ;v;
i can't help but feel very self-conscious when i talk
to people. i mean, mostly it's just classmates and
peers i know IRL.

i've been on winter break so i guess this isn't a
problem? i'm okay with friends, yeah. but with
people whom i'm just acquaintances with or
whatever.
someone can say something as a joke, but i'll
take it personally. and change my actions.

or noticing a slight change in someone's messages
which probably means nothing, but taking
it personally and being scared of talking to them.
and when i do, i feel like i'm bothering them.
maybe i am. so i think of why their messages
have changed.

maybe i'm clingy. maybe they've had a rough
week. maybe they never enjoyed talking to
me. bad timing? maybe their thoughts towards
me have changed.
i tell myself it's nothing.
this hasn't happened before to me. this year i've
been feeling very self-conscious? and nervous over
things i wasn't before.

like presentations. yeah, i normally get nervous
before them. but i'm not necessarily bad at them.
once i get rolling, i'm good.
now i find it hard to stare up from my paper, or
the slide without panicking. or feeling self-
conscious about the work i've done. it's so hard.
last year i had no problems like this.
i don't know why. if anyone knows, please tell me?

maybe it's just accumulated stress? my grades
are dropping. it scares me so much. a C-. a
C-. two. of. them. in science. i've never
had a grade that low before. one was for a concept
map. the other was for a culminating task. for
the unit test i got a B. i'm no expert in grades, but
that's gotta look pretty bad on my report card.

i'm not a bad student. generally average, with B
ranged grades. occasional Cs [ not too low ] and
As. i'm not stereo-typically smart. last year, i
had a really tough teacher. and i loved her to be
honest. i felt like i learned a lot. i got good
grades, and that was an accomplishment in her
class. i felt like i was ready for 2017. for a new
grade. but no. i'm doing worse. way worse.
it's not like i don't get the material, it's just that
i have trouble concentrating in class. this has
never happened before. i have hard times finishing
things, and i procrastinate too much. i'm forgetting
things a lot too.

procrastination and forgetfulness aren't too bad for me.
they happen a lot. so, not much to worry about there.
but concentrating in class? i'm not too sure. hhh.
i'm doing bad in school.
what will my parents say?
i normally have troubles in the beginning of the year.
but it's now 2017. this shouldn't be happening.

i feel alone.
there's been some family issues, but they've
been quelled. but things are not back to
normal.

i don't know why this is all happening.
someone please help.

that was my all over the place rant. :')
i'm sorry this post is so long. aa.

[Roadhog]

my friends/people I know at school always post on SC or insta about how they go places/hang out together always. I never ever never get invited. TBH I have no friends, like nobody ever invites me/ wants to hang out.

[SilentMelody]

i feel like i'm a burden and i'm too clingy for people...i always seem to annoy them even when i try not to or don't even mean to. i feel like i'm not even needed in the world and i'm just a waste of space

i really need a pm or something

[makima]

This year I winded up in a class with this one girl. She is the teacher's pet every year. At first, I didn't mind it, but now I'm sick of it. She takes up all the attention, whether she's talking to classmates or to teachers. I pretty much never get to talk to one of my friends anymore because now she always hangs out with this girl. To make matters worse, I'm actually the teacher's pet's friend since our moms are friends and we went to the same pre-school together. I'm just really stressed about the whole thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated whether you reply or send me a PM.

An ex boyfriend is confusing the heck out of me because he came back 6 months after we broke up wanting to be friends and now (a few weeks later) he isn't sure we should even talk. It's making me really sad. I love this boy and I hope he and I can stay friends but it's hard when I have no idea what he's thinking or why he's doing what he's doing. I've asked him about and he just said, "idk, I'm sorry," and I don't know how much sense that makes. It just makes me sad because he just came back and I don't want to lose him a second time.

I'd like a hug or advice or anything. I don't know really. A pm would be nice.
