My kids left to spend the summer in BC with their dad (5000 kms away), my 13 year old son wants to stay there to live. I not only feel really lonely without them here, I feel devastated to think my son will be living so far away from me permanently. I've always been an at home mom, my fiancee works 12 hour days, I am so lonely here. Any friends or family I have, live in BC (I live in Ontario now, for the past 2 years, because of my fiancee, it's where he is from). I miss my kids, I miss my old home, I have no friends here, live out in the country where there aren't a lot of people, plus I'm very shy, so I have a hard time metting new friends. I feel like I wait all day for fiancee to come home, and he's tired & we hardly talk. I haven't had a real job since 1990, no skills anymore, no self confidence to go find a job. I feel like I'm caught in a downward spiral and I feel horrible inside, I'm feeling very depressed and sad, nothing seems to help. Any advice? Serious please.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get help for Depression without have insurance, other than hotlines? I have searched over the internet, and I have found the Samaritans email, and various hotlines, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there was some sort of therapy that a person can get without having health insurance?

Any Help Would Be Appreciated.

We've been separated for 2 years. During this time, he is either in a rage and yelling at me or crying and threatening suicide (I was the one who initiated the separation). When he is threatening suicide, I say some things to him that pull him up because i'm so afraid that he will follow through with it, but that i regret later. He doesn't think he needs anymore help than he's getting, he feels that if we get back together, that will solve the problems. I don't agree with him but i don't really know what to do. Any ideas?

1) I have trouble making friends
2) I have somewhat of a hard time feeling sorry for people, but I do sometimes.
3) I feel somewhat as though I live in a world of my own, but I know that I am somehow connected to the world around me.
4) I don't twitch in awkward ways, but I did have some repetitive, awkward habits as a young child, which I have overcome.
5) I don't like being hugged, but I appreciate whoever is hugging me because I know it must mean that they love me.
6) I want to branch out and make some new friends and have a more normal life. I want to get married and have a child.
7) I have been homeschooled my whole life, so I haven't had the valuable experience with people that I need. I do go to church, but I have a hard time talking to people there, too.
8) No one seems to share many interests with me. I don't have obcessive interests.
9) I'm not intersted in science or technology, and my IQ is slightly above average.
10) Did I mention I desire a normal life?

at the moment im wanting to move from my flat because of loud noise constantley, people having sex at night, some aggressive guy with a girl. groups of youths in large numbers acting threatening and makin loud noise constantley, motor mikes, cars drivin fast all time, shouting, so thats very stressfull an depressing, the authorities are acting really slow about it. they say they need lots of evidence. and gettin out of here wont be an overnight process. so its very despair inducing. but just latley, im staying in alot. i feel withdrawn, im sat at computer feeling remote, and distant. distracted by my worries. my curtains have been closed all the time. just wanna be in my own little world. im filled with high anxiety and panic constantly, low moods, feeling dispair, feel nervous & scared of where i live, just wanna be inside everyday on computer, browsin or bein on my website. feeling like theres daunting prospects ahead and tryin to figure it out. but racin thoughts make it difficult

Everything seems to be a pain, and I am just burned out on everything. Also, I am very obsessive/compulsive about things. How can I just let myself let some things go and relax?

I am 42 years old today. Happy Birthday to me! When I was a kid, my mother told me if I didn't keep my hair out of my mouth, I would form a big hair ball in my stomach and the doctor would have to cut it out. I tried, but couldn't stop sticking my hair in my mouth. I was always getting in trouble for it at school and other places. I remember thinking when I grew up, I wouldn't do it anymore.
I still stick a little strand of hair in my mouth and really like doing it. Its sort of like some people such their thumb. I never did that I always stuck my hair in my mouth.
SO, What is with me? Am I going to be 90 yrs old and chewing on my hair. My hair is about to my shoulders and dark brown. When I trim it up, and cant get it to my mouth, I stop chomping on it, but when it grows back out, I start the habit all over again. Sometimes I do it and don't realize I am doing it. I am sure it looks peculiar. I bet people who see this think I have a mental disorder. Do I?

yes, i know it sounds kooky! even i think it sounds strange. there was somebody on tv that related love as a mental disorder but... only as a joke. i took it lightly at first considering it was just for laughs. however, afterwards, i tried to make sense out of it. love does make you do crazy things. things that you won't normally do. you can completely forget, start to care less, about your surroundings and think only of that special someone. things that usually annoy you doesn't seem to bother you anymore since you're in love. also, your behaviour/personality starts to change a little. what else? hmm... some people can go beserk if they don't see their lover for quite some time. the distance can make them go a little insane. =)

what do you think?

p.s: don't get me wrong, though. i'm not putting down love or anything! i've been in love. i'm (sort of) still in love. it changed me a little.

My mom hates me.She scolds me everytime.I am 17 years old,good at studies and i never did any wrong things in my life.My mom says i am not so good looking but i think i am beautiful.She irritates me often by criticizing about my feature.I heard in many stories that mothers used to be a very kind person who loves her child very much.I think it happens only in fairy tales not in real life.

I think its better to leave this world than hearing her nasty comments about me.

If I step in S**T, it smells like S**T - My ex-husband (wife beater) steps in S**T and it smells like roses. Why is the "Bluebird of happiness" crapping all over me & my family. To much death and poverty. I'm so confused and overwhelmed w/grief.

all they are is a placebo effect but with potentially nasty side effects... hence it says it takes 4-6weeks for them to work thats bcz it usually takes 4-6 weeks for someones life problems to get sorted out..
if not then they up the dosage blah blah...
happiness comes from the environment which in turns effects many chemicals in our brains and our souls which are individual
the only good thing about antids is that some people like to believe they are working so therefore it helps them..
when in actual fact it just themselves and the placebo effect which gets them thru..
no actual "chemical imbalance" has been proven what with contradicting studies and not to mention that apparently youve got depression if youve been sad for more than 2 weeks.. who hasnt been sad for more than 2weeks????
everyone has and did they need drugs or else they wouldnt come out of that state??
NO and if they didnt get thru it, its probably bcz their life stinks...
what did people do before antids...?? d

Im off my meds bcuz side effects were worse than when off. But now im not controlling myself well after a year. I think i need help again but i dont trust doctors. they hardly answer my questions and just throw pills at me that they get kickbacks from the med makers. Any suggestions? If i go back on meds (inevitably), how do i know who to trust? Im going to lose my job if i dont get myself under control.

Hi,
I took one pill of Effexor XR last night, and I am having extreme side effects. My heart has been racing since last night (I prob got 2 hours of sleep total, yet I could prob run a marathon right now), I have a dry mouth, my hands are shaking, my legs are sort of shakey as well, when I stood up this morning I was so dizzy I felt like I was drunk, and I'm still a little dizzy now, it feels like I have extreme anxiety and can't sit still, it feels like electricity is going through my body (if you know what I mean), and I can't concentrate or sit still. If anyone else has taken this med, can you please give me advice? Did you stop taking it? Does this go away? Should I discontinue using it since I've only taken one pill? I can't handle feeling like this..Thank you for any help you can provide!
