Hey. I've suffered from depression and anxiety for some years, but have been feeling generally OK for the past few months. Anyways, I had a ridiculous weekend and got really drunk (v. stupid of me as I take prozac) and have been feeling very dodgy since. Had an alright day yesterday but feel awful at work today. I do a very brain-dead, boring job, which doesn't help - I just have this irrational fear that my mind is going to completely stop working and I won't even be able to move! I'm usually quite good at coping with my depressive spells, but am so exhausted that I'm finding it really hard to think positively today. Anybody got any tips for alleviating this horrible frame of mind I'm in? Thanks!

Is it normal for a person who is bipolar to just decide to not want to be your friend (when a couple weeks ago asked that you'd STAY their friend) and then just turn on you for no reason whatsoever? Do they have thoughts in their head that they are assuming others KNOW what the thoughts are when they haven't been expressed in any way? I am in an emotional roller coaster with my best friend. I don't want to lose his friendship but I'M starting to get emotionally drained from it all and I don't know how much longer I can take this friendship even though I truly adore this person. How do I deal with this? I have NO control over how he handles bipolar - meds, etc. -not a relative and I'm not close with his relatives -- just him. I don't want to blow him off and yet, I need some emotional sanity too. As a rule, he's a very caring person but not right now- he may be tomorrow -- and the next day maybe not. I just never know. I'm afraid to talk to him sometimes.

I have a close young friend who I found out cuts herself to relieve anger. She is very beligerent about authority figures or recieving advice. I want to be there for her and help her, but I don't know what to do or say. I have no experience with this and don't understand it. I don't want to make things worse. I am quite a bit older than she is and she sees me as a friend but also an authority figure. How can I help her?

How does one deal with GENDER IDENTITY DISORDER?

I am under treatment by a good hospital but it is well known by doctors all over the world that THIS IS NOT TREATABLE, ONE IS BORN LIKE THIS!

Questions:
1. How does one deal with low self-esteem / low self-worth / low self-confidece?
2. How does one deal with depression bcoz of this?
3. How does one inform his family about this?
4. How does one avoid marriage?
5. How does one look forward to a "normal" life just like any other person around?

I am confused, trapped, frustrated and ONLY think of taking the last step!

Can someone help? Mail to : cool_mail_friend@yahoo.com

whenever anybody goes out, i freak out. I presume the worst has happened and end up staring out the window, crying my eyes out, and having panic attacks in which i cannot breath, and end up almost fainting. I don't know why this is. It's only recent. I have, however, always been a very paranoid person. What does this mean? And how do i overcome it?

I am a passifist with a viscious temper. I feel like i have to act like this crazy wacky dangerous guy to get people to like me but I know that noone likes that guy. I know the difference between good attention and bad attention but I always take the easy route and do stupid life damaging stuff to gain brief moments of attention. am I alone in feeling like this?

I'm not complaining but I'm noticing its signs already - Isn't it early? (Maybe not) What do you think? (Cooler temps are coming!)

(I have a hard time picking categories - Sorry)

When I was in primary school (about 12years ago) a couple of girls tied me to a pole and tried to strangle me with my school tie. Eversince I can't stand to wear things around my neck (not a necklace or even a polo neck shirt). If someone puts their arm around my neck its like I can't breath. How do I get over this.
Opinions Please.

I want to know how can I become more confident, there are lots of situations where I feel kind of shy and lost. Cause I usually see my self looking at what other people do and do something similar,how can you work on your leadership skills, be confident at whatever you do without needing approval from others? How can I make my self go out and socialize with people? I have lots of old friends but I hadnt had made any new friends in like 2 years?

I get up and go to work and I sit at my desk and then the yawning starts, the big stretching. I hate it, I look around everyone else is busy, i see no yawns, no sleepy people like myself. what gives?
I eat breakfast everymorning, lately toast with "frischeskäse" (im currently in germany) and salami, washed down with mineral water. I take showers at night because I cant sleep dirty.
what do you guys think?

I am so depress, this feeling is very painful, so painful as if something is constantly bitting my heart.
Yes, my family is here, they are physically here, yet not emotionally connected, even worst than roommate. So this is even more painful than they are not physcially here.
I know that's the way they 'are', 'were' and 'will be'.
How can I not let this cruel truth affect my mood? How can I not let it make my heart so painful?
