I mean...everyone tells people who are sad and down, "Don't worry, you will...find true love/feel better soon/be happy someday, yada yada yada..." yet we all know plenty of people all over the world live sad lonely lives and probably die that way. Do you really believe in happiness for most people or do you just say those things to cheer people up? (Personally, I say those things too, and generally believe them...tonight the PMS is talking, lol). Just wondered what others' thoughts were.

If you do, get a book called "Hope and Help for your Nerves," by Dr. Claire Weeks" This book will help you know what causes them, and how to stop them. It really works. I am proof.

I am 14 and i really want to come out of the closet about being gay. However, I'm afraid of how many friends i might lose if i do. So I'm an active church member since last year. But I only go to church to hang out with friends, not for spiritual purposes. I can come out of the closet at school but I still have some second thoughts. But then again, is it really nessesary (I know there's a c in there somewhere) for my friends to know? But I really don't want to lose my church friends. Help please.

I have been prescribed anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds which made me not care AT ALL and that was a bad choice at the time I was about to lose my house. My marriage is shaky and my wife wont go to counselling with me. I have allowed my wife to make our lives financially troublesome with major debts. I have gone to therapy myself and realize I have to be the one who has to do something, but right now I feel either unwilling or unable to change. So I live with my anxiety, depression, guilt, shame and hopelessness waiting for something either negative to kick me in the butt to change, or something positive to lift me out of this hell I guess I am content to stay in for now....but its nice to know that there is a chance I can beat this thing and be think positively and be happy instead of fearing the worst (and usually getting it) day after day after day. What are your recomendations?? Thanks for your constructive responses only please!!!!!

I should add that I am disabled and I CAN'T go out for a walk and stuff. My caregiver is gone. I appreciate those types of answers but because of my severe epilepsy I can't go walking alone.

Our marriage hit the rocks due to her & I being unequally yolked ( religiously) she believed in Christ, but she didn't show it with me. She was diagnosed with an illness (Major Depressive Disorder) and she would hit me, say the meanest things and then tell me to leave. I recently found the proof of her having an affair after at least a month of Suspiscion....She wrote in her own diary that I hit her and cheated on her & I can't figure out why would anyone lie to themselves through a devotional. She is not on her meds anymore and I don't know how long she has not been taking the Zoloft. I know I can't contribute her infidelity, forging and hot check writing all to the disease, but I fear that the lover she moved in doesn't TRULY have a clue what he is in, & I also fear his violent temper/ understanding may spark him to wail on her.
I shouldn't care anymore, but I share a child with this woman and I wish I could know how much of all this Drama is due to her illness.

I've been an epileptic for 20 years and 95% of my fits are brought on by my emotions. Like if I get upset or to excited.
Without even knowing it & sub consciouslly I have blocked out all my emotions to protect myself from being ill so I could live a normal life. I haven't cried for nearly a year and if something upsets me I shrug it off and don't really know it has effected me until I am having a fit and chewing my tongue off later.
How do I get rid of this thick skin so I can feel something again.

I've been feeling fatigued and having trouble going to sleep and I've been short of breath, and sometimes I feel too fatigued to even talk. I went to the doctor today (not my regular doctor, but a walk-in appointment) and I've seen her twice already and she says that there's nothing wrong with me. My blood pressure is normal. I don't have a fever. I'd been given Lexapro (5 mg daily) a long time ago but never taken it because some of the side effects I've heard of sound horrible and I don't want to be dependent on medicine. This has really only been horrible in the past four or five days. Before that I didn't feel as bad. I felt bad but not *this* bad. I have a trip coming up on Friday. Can I still take it? Should I start taking Lexapro now? Or should I wait till after my trip? I'm just not sure what to do anymore. All the doctor gave me was nasal spray to help with my sinuses. I need tips and suggestions on what I can do to make myself feel better.

I have a question about mental health. Maybe you can help me out, and tell me what kind of mental disorder this might connect with.

My friend recently told me that she is having some weird issues. For one she talks to herself when she is alone, she acts out things, pretends to be other people, ect. She also has flash backs. She had a really tough time in school, and if something reminds her of it. She can't help herself from thinking about it. She says sometimes when she talks that in her mind she'll think of school. Then she'll have to shake her head, or tell herself to stop thinking before the memory will leave her head. Do you think she could have some type of mental disorder? What does this remind you of? She likes to act out things alone. Like what she sees on T.V. She acts like other people. Thanks for the help.
