It has come down to this: I think I may suffer from depression. I haven't seen a doctor yet, but I do have experience in the Mental Health field.
I know that depression is a chemical inbalance & it may be situational (i.e. loss of a job, a loved one, car accident, etc) or chronic (ongoing).
I also know that depression is very serious. It doesn't just go away & each episode is worse than the previous one.
A little background info:
*I broke up w my ex in Oct. - after 5 1/2 years together. It was no surprise, but it was still a loss.
*I moved out (from SC w an amazing ocean view to a studio in the not so amazing part of LA with my mom & her bf)
*I was working 2 jobs (one f/t the other p/t)
*I quit my f/t job to enroll back in school

Now I feel super lost, confussed, I miss things I never thought I would (like my pillow!), I cry a lot, I don't sleep or eat, I feel super ugly & worthless, can't concentrate & i have no patience & no sex! & I'm in denial about the depression. Why??

I eat reasonable portion meals, including salad 3-4 times a week, and I also do several reps of situps, leg lifts, and planks before I go to sleep, but I'm not seeing a consistant change.

I have Lortab 10/500 and am prescribed to take one pill every 4-6 hours. They aren't working that great. Would it be safe to take two pills at one time as long as I don't exceed the daily max?
Thanks.

I think it's both ungrateful and immoral.Does this sort of thing happen before?Did the Good Samaritan Law has it's own weaknesses in protecting the rescuer's rights even if the rescuer has a legal CPR card and a CPR certificate that proofs it?If something bad happened to you,will you sue the person that saves your life just for a crack on your ribs?

went to dr about these lumps in my glands and he says it was caused by some random infection from a scratch or something and gave me antibiotics. the lumps are usually accompanied by severe headaches usually brought on by stress and ususally cause neck and shoulder pain.

I have taken Lexapro, Anafranil which did nothing, and today i am weening off Prozac even though they have had no side effects like the others which is great, but unfortunately I have found that Prozac has made me more nervous and anxious.

Im not sure what to do anymore. My family are so beautiful and supportive i really just want to feel normal again so i can stop disapointing them, but i cant. I feel like i dont deserve my life. I have been thinking alot about suicide and hurting myself, i am a christian and would never do this but i cant get these thoughts out of my head. I have not always felt this way, but a couple of months ago i started having these really bad anxiety attacks and couldnt get these strange thoughts out of my head. It never went away and now i feel like I am two totally different people. Everyone thinks i am me, i still feel like me sometimes but most of the time i am living in a nightmare, in a different persons body. I want my life back! What should i be doing? Thankyou

I know blood can transmit the virus, but i was wandering if say, you swallowed blood, you could be infected or if it would have to go directly into your bloodstream by needle or two open wounds rubbing together.
any idea?
