I can't ever talk to people, a lot of times I'll even get scared to just say hi, but then I also feel like I want to talk to someone, but I can't. Alot of times I made up conversations with someone in my head, and sometimes I even have a pretend conversation with characters from TV shows I like, but in real life I can't talk to anyone at all. Does anyone else do that?

I don't have a whole lot of friends, but last night I managed to get almost all of them to come with their boy/girlfriends and we had a pretty good time, but it was a "sit-down" party, where everyone gathers in chairs and has clever conversations. Being slightly hungover today didn't help, but I've been depressed all day despite the usual remedies like going to the gym and punching my corkboard wall. I managed to break the skin on my knuckles but I still feel awful. I've come to a realization that I'm probably never going to have enough friends to fill my entire house with a "standing room-only" type party. That wouldn't bother me so much if I had a girlfriend, or at least some form of dependable sex/companionship. I was reading an advice thing on how to make a better internet personal ad today and one of the suggestions was to put up photos with you and your friends (especially female friends) having a great time, and that just sent me into a further down spiral.

Sometimes at night...I fall asleep and then wake up in the middle of the night and I open my eyes and I see myself and everything around me, the only thing that is wrong is that I cannot move whatsoever...the only thing i can move are my eyes, to look around of course..It gets scary so what i do is try to move as much as I can and I eventually can, but I find myself breathing really hard and my heart is beating fast. What can this be...??? Could it be tied to lucid dreaming? What is it that I am experiencing??? HELP!!!

K heres my story, I was born into a broken home. My moms freaks out, dad was a drinker, brother was very stubborn. Now half of them are dead. Dad died of drinking and everyone else in my family died, for whatever reason. Finally at the age of 15 it all hit me. It seems as if all the pain hit me at once. I quit talking to everyone. Noone knew why, but i was depressed. I began reading the bible and doing good deeds, for myself at least. Now I dropped that and im into music. I started smoking pot to ease my mind and honestly it helped, but now my brother knows and my mom. My mom doesnt care my brother hates it. He looks at me differently now. Now i have no friends at all. Its just me and mom. She gets mad alot she threw away half the dishes haha. So half the familys dead, i literally do not have one friend, its hard making them, im not exactly "cool" and everyone else is a nerd. My bros pissed, im failing school, moms depressed all the time. I dont know what to, get a job i guess. HELP!

I lived on the streets for about 4 years . In that time I came accross a lot of society's worst people in the world. Drug dealers police (crooked ones) etc and people who were the best also strangely drug dealers and prostitues. It changed my view of human nature society and everything with it.It wasn't the worst expierence of my life either (another shock to me). I had fun at times , I travelled I met incredible people etc.
So what am I asking? Is there anyway I can consider myself one of the normal people anymore? Society 's constructs are all gone as absolute reality for me - my view of life is completely different and my view of the human animal is too.I just can't take the problems of people all that seriously anymore.Profesionals institutions and all the rest are a bit of a laugh. I have a university degree and was once very much part of the "society" and am again -sort of- but this time around I feel I am just faking it to make others feel better.

My husband of 25 years has cancer, and he's only 45 years old. He could very well die. My mother died of cancer just over a year ago, and she was only 67. Her mother died of leukemia at the age of 37. Her sister died of cancer at the age of 37. Hubby's mom died of cancer just over a year ago too. We're wrought with loss and grief. Why do these things happen? Is he too good or am I too bad? How can I change his outcome to survival?

Below is the message I recieved when I answered a question posed by Prince W. He makes an a broad generalization about women and all I said was ..............You are right not all men are jerks, but judging by your answers on this site, you sound like a ROYAL JERK.
Source(s):
Reality.

DID HE PROVE ME RIGHT?


Message: I sound like a royal jerk? You don't even know me, but yet you are judging me based on a few answers? What does that say about you? It says you are a royal ***** and that is why men treat you like crap. I am not a jerk, but I am not going to sit here and take some woman'as judgmental opinion about me, when she has no clue as to who I am. For all I care dear, you can go **** yourself and spend the rest of your life alone, cause until you learn not to be a ***** to me, they will never treat you right. Have a ......life.

PS- Prince W, I am happily ever after already, are you?

Everywhere you look "mental health profesionals" are looked at as demi gods and yet I think they have less that 1% success rate. I have also noticed that they aren't that successful in predicting violent behaviour of criminals. They sell themeslves (and very well) as a hard science but it seems like old fashioned guess work to me.

Are they vastly over rated are they useful do they actually perfom an important function or are they just the modern version of a tribal medicine man?

Personel story that I think is indicative of the whole.
A friend goes to a psychiatrist complaining she heard voices - diagnoses "terminal laziness seeking attention" she killed herself a week or so back.

Has a mental health profesional actually helped you or anyone you know?
