I don't know how to love, don't want to love because it hurts too much. I know that I have a purpose in life so I am too young to die, but I can't see myself living past 30, there is just no point. All the fun is in your 20's...30's bring worries. I am not planning to have kids and get married, I am too independent, and too ambitious. Am I OK?

There has been this rumor around since freshman year about me. People have always said I have been on crack. I have never had any once in my whole life and it is annoying how people have to put me down and insult me like that. This guy once asked if I took some in the morning and I told him no and that I have never taken it ever before and he goes you're just messing with me I know you have. And whenever all the freshmans saw me, they would say got crack? got crack? I tolerated that nonsense for the end of frehsman year and my whole sophomore year. I don't care what people think about me, but when I am being let down for something I didn't do and would never do in my life, I feel like taking some action. I have told my mom about this and I think some of the teachers already know about the this. What can I do to make this nonsense stop, because I am nice to everyone and I know I can have more friends than I do, but people don't want to because they are afraid they will be accused too.

I grew up in an era where ADD wasn't really all that common and believe that I have had this disorder for some time. I have always had a hard time concentrating and getting this done. Even after dropping out of high school I managed to graduated from college with honors. However, when I got to law school I got crushed. I barely made it out of there! At my legal jobs I would have such a hard time getting projects finished. Now, after taking a lot of 'on line' ADD assessments, a lot of them say I should see a counselor. Anyway, I was afraid of going to see someone and them putting me on a medicine like Straterra that seems to get a lot of bad reviews. Can anyone recommend a particular medicine that worked for them or someone they know? I have heard great things about Adderall but I wasn't sure if I have to do some HUGE psych workup with hours and hours of testing, etc. My insurance only covers a certain amount of mental health and I cna't afford all that. Any REAL answers appreciated!

I live with my grandmother who has alzheimer's and dementia. She goes off on me alot and annoys me with hopes to make me mad. She thinks she's five or so, and I'm 17. I know I should know already how to control my temper with everything and everyone, but sometimes it seems so hard. I would never do anything to harm her, but sometimes I just wish I could put her in a nursing home, but there is no way I could ever afford that.

I found myself feeling frustrated toward my boss, co-worker, family and friend, for no real reason. They didn't do anything to me, in fact, lots of them care for me.

But I feel frustrated then being grateful. I feel as if nobody in the world understand me and accept me as who I am, I have bipolar disorder.

And there is more and more anger storing in my chest, waiting to explore when I cannot hold it no more. I feel so lost. Though I keep telling myself don't give up, don't give up, there is always hope; life just seems so heavy to me.

I become even more emotional, wanting to cry, to shout, to break something. In the same time, I found myself worried about my health, worried about becoming schizophrenia.

My boss is also my aunt who loves me more than my parents, and at the same time, I feel the most frustrated toward her. She believes I can over come bipolar and schizophrenia, which I cannot. I had accepted that I have bipolar disorder and there is no cure yet.

I have never been into illeagal drugs and I don't drink. I have some anxiety/panic and depression issues. I have been on script meds for that. I don't think they are medicating me right or understand what I'm trying to tell them. I want to find something...a drug...an herb....anything....that will give me a wonderful feeling of contentment. Not high...not emotionless...no racing heart beat. Just peace and calm. Happiness in the moment. Like everything is okay. Content. What can I take that will give me that overall feeling of calm, peace, happiness and contenment I'm looking for? I am on script pain meds for my back. I don't abuse them. Sometimes when I take a regular dose I will get that feeling I just described. Is there anything else out there that will do the same thing? Please....be serious. I'm not some sort of junkie. I'm just very high strung and don't like it. Thanks.

I've always wondered if living in high elevation climates such as the rockey mountains had an affect on mental alertness and cognitive abilities, since the air pressure is so much less and there is significantly less oxygen in the air, esp. for those who live above 7000 feet altitudes. Do those people with less oxygen levels, have lower mental capacities?

Hi there.

I've got constipation (that's not the problem) and so any defecation involves IMMENSE strain, the sort you can feel the pressure in your head. After more than a week of this, I feel dizzy, "out of it" and have difficulty finding words (though that could just be in my head). I'm definitely not as eloquent as normal.

Is it possible that in the strain I've burst a bunch of blood vessels in my head? I know it's possible to have an asymptiomatic stroke, could that be me? What does it take for little vessels in the brain to burst?

I would swear on my life that this actually happened.

I went to Las Vegas with a couple friends and my brother. While we walked up and down the strip, we stopped at all the casinos like everyone does, and we drank a lot! I probably drank the most.

In one of the casinos, I had to use the restroom. After I washed my hands, I felt like I was going to pass out. I started blacking out and my last thought was, "I don't want to pass out on the casino floor, I'll go sit down in a stall till I feel better.." and that was it, nobody knows what happened.

I woke up on the floor of a stall, my face was bloodied and bruised. I must have hit the ground, but nobody attacked me or took my wallet.

While I was out cold, I remember walking out of the restroom, and I saw my friend Emmett. He died by suicide a year earlier. I saw him like he used to look in Junior High. We just talked for a while like old friends, and he told me to go back into the bathroom. And then I woke up.
