My mom just isn't acting like her normal self. Last month she packed up all of her stuff and moved out of the house. She picks fights with my family. Is very angry, but won't let anyone close enough to help figure out why. Has become spiteful and vindictive. She doesn't seem to want anything to do with the four children. Pushing us away when she gets the chance. She has even implied that money is more important that the kids. A few years ago her life revolved around family. She tells people stories that are untrue or exagerating them to make my father sound bad and herself sound good. Telling me stuff that is not only untrue but lying to me as well. telling me that my father brainwashed me and that I have no idea what she was going thru. When I try to explain my side of things she tells me that I am mad at her because my father made her be mean to me. I've tried to help her, but leaving her appt. I feel more upset than when i arrived. Please Help figure out why she suddenly changed

People say it's selfish to commit suicide. What about not letting go of those who wish to let go?

I have had all the symptoms of serotonin syndrome from just one dose of the stuff. My normal bp is 110/70 and now it has been 140/90. This is very uncomfortable. Most of the other symptoms are gone, except for this and the tachycardia. It seems to slowly be getting better, but any advice from someone with Lexapro experience would be great. Hypertension is very uncomfortable, never thought I would get to experience this. Oh yeah, and the doctors told me that the symptoms I am experiencing are not possible. They really need to learn a little more. Not possible, more like Unlikely.

I have a very depressed friend, whom I've been friends with for a long time. Lately though he is completly unreliable (says he'll call doesn't, stands me up, doesn't do what he says he will do ect.). All he has to say lately is negative and whiney. I want to be there for him....and for the last year I have put up with all of it and tried to be the best friend I could handle being. but I find myself very angry and resentful towards him. I avoid him because I don't like being around him...then I feel guilty as hell about it and feel I'm not being a friend, but I feel he's not my friend, he's a self centered whiney taker all the time. I know he needs professional help, but he can't/won't. How can I help him without going insane!

I have been separated from my abusive husband for over a year. When I came to work this morning, his vehicle was parked at the building where I work and I saw him walking up to the building. I called up to the front desk and asked if he was still here, and the gal that answered said that he was here for training (which means that he will be here all day. I work in a building with approx. 100 other people, I know that he wouldn’t try anything, but yet having him in the building is just terrifying me. I do think that I have PSTD. There was only one instance of physical abuse, three years ago, but just seeing him has triggered so much anxiety about the emotional abuse that I can’t concentrate on work. The funny thing is that I can see him every other weekend in front of the sheriff’s office (in front of a video camera) alone. But I’m scared now.

Everytime I think I'm finally on my feet, I feel as though I've been knocked down again. What do you do to fix this situation?

Basically I'm wondering what age something started to be wrong or different, and how did you know?

This is a serious question for people who actually have close personal experience with this, whether it's yourself or your family.

I started meditation (mantra meditation) 3 months ago.
I used to do it two times a day with each session
extending upto 30 mins.

But after I started meditating, I developed
middle/terminal insomnia. I would go to bed at 10 pm
and would sleep in 10-15 mins. But I would wake up
around 3-4 am and after that it would very
light/disturbed sleep.

I discussed this with few meditaion experts and they
said that because meditaion results in
de-stressing, the process should be very gradual and
should be done in moderation. They advised me to do
meditaion only in the morning for 20 mins and continue
at that level for next 6 months to 1 year.

But with this the problem is I am not able to unwind myself in the evening from the day's activities. I am going to bed with all the stress and anxiety.

So doing meditaion in the evening is causing one problem, and not doing it is causing another problem. How can I solve this?

Every single night for the past few weeks, I've been having nightmares. Not just once in a while, but EVERY NIGHT, without fail and without a break. They started out minor, with fights in the family or breaking up with my fiancee. They've gotten worse, however, and the last couple of nights have involved my loved ones being hurt and a lot of blood and gore involved, and me being very very afraid, even well after I wake up. Is there asnyone that can explain what's happening, or, even better, how to make it stop!?!
