I serously need to quit smoking. I'm 30 years old and I've smoked cigeretts for 15 years now. Both my body and lungs are telling me it's way past due for me to quit, if it's not already to late.
I can't get any help for the smoking though. I have three young kids who are driving me absolutly crazy right now because of the withdrawel. I seriously took a bat the other day and beat the living piss out of the side of my garage to try and get rid of the rage. I have absolutly no support from family. My husband smokes right in front of me, he doesn't believe in me. Of course my kids don't understand, I couldn't expect them too. I'm crying over every stupied little thing, i can't sleep, and this is only day 3. I'm supposed to deal with this for at least 20 more days? I have to. I don't know how. I've been told to try the nicotine gum and crap. But thats just gonna delay these problems. I don't know anymore.

And I mean more often than not!!! I don't feel motivated at all to do anything produtive!! All I wanna do is hang out with friends or download episodes of 24 !! And the irony is that I used to be really busy all the time with university and part-time jobs and sports, etc. then I finished university and got a job where I had to work 12 hours a day, untill I had enough and quit!! That was 4 months ago.. and not only I haven't found another job but I'm hardley even looking!!! I haven't been productive at all for months, and It's not like I have any money cause I don't!! but still it doesn't seem to motivate me...
Do you think I need help?!!! Maybe I'm depressed or something?!!! LOL thanks :)

Was it worth the money? Did you open the door to your sub-conscious mind? Please share.

My BF lost his wife to cancer over a year ago. His daughter has some behavioral problems. He from time to time still talks about her. He really doesn't bother me when they talk about her but I am wondering if both of them may need to see a professional? If so, how do I tell him?

None of the psychiatrist in my area (within 50 miles) that are covered by my insurance are accepting new patients. I really, really need some help and dont know what to do. I dont think I can see a cousilor because I have been diagnosed with a mental illness. What can I do to get someone to talk to me?

Many of you know, my father is an alcoholic. I've gone to Al-Anon and wasn't too impressed with their "ways" of "letting the alcoholic be." His lifestyle is killing not only himself but ther rest of our family, too, which is only my brother and me. (My mother died in 2001)

Is there another group out there that would be better suited for family members of alcoholics that would give REASONABLE and REALISTIC advice? I also have an appointment with a psychiatrist to talk about my problems, but that appointment isn't until August 28th.

Also, do any of you have personal friends or family that have dealt with alcoholism? What's the best way to deal with them? Confront them either sober or drunk?

Thank you all so much for your information.

Do you know of anyone who hurt themselves or someone else because of bipolar? I have a friend who is bipolar and am getting scary answers on another question regarding same issue. Do you or the person with the bipolar tend to start yelling at people on purpose just to get them mad at you? I mean even if they didn't do anything wrong? I know this sounds insane and I know he's not "insane". I fear something bad is going to happen to him in the near future (bad break-up) and it will NOT be a pretty site. Anything you can offer, I'd appreciate because I'm scared for him and his thoughts are WAY out of it right now. He's up right now but it won't be long before it goes the other way. He took meds a long time ago and went to counseling and he won't do it anymore. I feel like if I press the issue, he's just going to get mad and disappear from me. What kind of experience have you or others had??? HELP AND THANK YOU!!

Why are people so curious and why are others so paranoid.

Me personally, I am more of a watcher than a paranoid.
