I have been diagnosed depressed since 8th grade (11th now) when I began cutting. Told ma and pa after I started. A few times in my life (once about 5th grade) i told mom that i felt like dieing. when i would tell her this she would say she wasn't worried (did she think I was fakeing ?) & never bring it up again. I thought that she didn’t believe me (she has also been diagnosed, don't know how severe it is though) or that she didn’t want to face it (she is supportive in that she doesn’t get mad but not in that she really helps). I stumbled upon & read a letter she composed on the comp to Eldon (prev was my shrink until i was ready to stop [yeah right]), is now my ltl bros, & i believe he is now kates (moms friend) shrink. It read that kate was recently having problems with her new hubby. she has depressed & feels like she can’t love him again. I am sympathetic (&know I shouldn’t have read it). What moms doing is nice, but I have to think cause she never did that for me. When I told her I wanted to DIE she never brought it up again but kate is upset and the world ends. She is often at her house (even before kates issues she was over there) she is there about once a day (while I am at school, but also when I’m home). I get jealous (I get almost no good time with my mom) so I said something in the car (been holding it in) about how she is often over there, & made it obvious I was upset. mom said Kate has problems and that she was helping her (& keeping an eye on her, which she didn’t really do with me). I said that me, dad, Bob (kates hubby), & my sibs all really notice how much time they spend together. She said dad has been devoted to helping kate, & she said that as a kid she spent lot of time with her friends. I said she is NOT a kid anymore and that she has resonsibilites, she said she wouldn’t stop. sounds like I’m whining but i’ve told I want to die & I’ve said how I feel like cutting at times & my probs with friends. Never brings it up, & these are big to me. But when kates upset, my mom runs over. I read recently in a psych book that you shouldn’t give happy pills to a kid (I’m 16) w/out therapy or sometin, or keeping tabs on them, & you should distribute their meds to them. I’m on welbutrin (tried 2 kinds b4) & I dose myself, she only checks if I start acting mad & stuff. I alter my dose ( 3 to 2 to 3 pills) 2 try and feel better. I have been taking meds over a month (hard cause I hate feeling numb when I’m on pills) & yet I’ve been really depressed. I can’t talk to mom (nothing productive happens) & don’t mention friends (thnk I’m weak). My Q’s are am I selfish for being upset about ma & kate? Should I tell someone how I feel? Who? should I ignore this or talk to mom? I can & have been dealing w/ this sorta thing a while (yrs), & I get good times but often not (I’m mostly depressed or numb), but I’m tired of this & wanna get better for good (or atleast now). Nothing seems to work & I’m getting desperate. Plz help Thnx for reading =)

Almost every morning when I wake up, I have a sore throat. It goes away within an hour or so, but it's still annoying. This has been going on since I was little--and it actually happened a lot more frequently back then, but since I was raised in the wild by wolves, I never went to the doctor about it. I guess I COULD go to a doctor about it now, but like I said, it doesn't last long and it's not THAT bad, but I'd still like to know what's going on. Does this ever happen to anyone else? I don't smoke, so that wouldn't be it. I wonder if it has something to do with the way I breathe when I sleep?

I am not looking for Maria Treben's herbs. I was able to get a different mixture from a freind in Germany but am not able to anymore for reasons that the relationship isn't well. The mixture had 26 herbs in it. I would like if i could find a mixture with at least that many if not more herbs. It is okay if I have to order overseas. I just need the herbs. Please, serious answers only. I really need these.

I was walking down the street near my house, when this sasquatch came out and chewed my leg off. Luckily, before he finished his work, a wandering spider came and drove it off. I got the leg back too. But I'm trying to attach the leg back on somehow.....I've tried duct tape, glue, nails, staples, welding, and rope but nothing seems to work....any suggestions??

I need a perscription for this drug because I've been very unattentive when it comes to school and schoolwork.

I've heard that when you go to a psychiatrist, they will make you do this test that costs a lot of money that insurance doesn't cover. Is this true? Do they always do this?

I've heard it's a lot harder to get now because college kids are faking the symptoms so they can have a perscription to profit off of by selling it to other kids.

If you've ever gotten a perscription for this or any other ADD/ADHD medicine, please tell me about what you had to go through to get it?

I am aged 27 now and started to take Fluoxetine 20mg when I was 20 years old. I continued it for more than 5 years and stopped it because of GI side effects. Then tried Fluvoxamine, Sertralin, Clomipramine and Dothiepin. SSRIs work but Fluvoxamine and Sertralin cause nausea. I finally settled on Escitalopram and it was good at the beginning. But now relapse is a problem. Tried upto 20mg (still continuing). I am married now and sexual side effects are a big problem. What are my options?

First off, please don't tell me to see a doctor. I've seen the doctor a half dozen times, and I've even spent 3 days in the hospital having tests done to make sure there's not a serious cause. I've taken care of that possibility.

Now, I've been sick on and off for about 8 months. It'll vary from just a slight sore throat to all the lymph nodes in my neck being swollen. I have post-nasal drip pretty much all the time, ranging from just a slight gunkiness to having to constantly spit. The post-nasal actually borders on debilitating sometimes because swallowing that amount of mucus is impossible, but spitting isn't exactly always socially acceptable. The lymph nodes in my neck can get extremely, extremely painful as well, to the point where I can't turn my head or even yawn without feeling pain.

I've gone through at least ten kinds of antibiotics with very little effectiveness; the steroid Prednisone succeeded in relieving the neck pain, but can't be taken for a long period. Help?
