Just wondering. I seem to be more content and enjoy the sensation of sadness and depression more than being happy and optimistic.

If you can't even kill yourself properly, isn't that just one more thing you suck at?

When I walk past people in the street (those who have something lit) the smell is strong and it just seems to have a 'certain smell' about it. Am I right or not that what is being smoked is drugs? I'm very naive in the ways of the world and would like to know.

What if we are just echos of things that have already happened?
What if our existance is nothing more than the memories or ripples of things that already were?

I have finally taken my 8 year old daughter to a counseling center to begin treatment for Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). She always been a tempramental child, stubborn, crying kicking yelling because she doesn't get what she wants. It has escalated in the last year or so to telling me no!, hitting, kicking and breaking stuff. So, I concluded 8 years old is much too old for this behaviour, and if I wait much longer, I won't be able to get her under control.

She was officially diagnosed this week. We have barely started treatment, so I don't have a lot of advice to go on from her counselor. Tonight we just had a terrible time, because she wanted some extra markers (that I am saving for when she needs them at school), and I would not let her have them. Kicking screaming, refusing to go to her room, being physically carried four times to her room...and nasty sassy mouth.

Any experience with this type of behaviour? What has worked for you? How do you handle the tantrums?

I can never remember any of my dreams. I assume I do dream but with no recollections, how do I know?

Anybody else have no recall of dreams?

It's not that I have a bad life. Its just a life that I feel like I can't handle. I have a three year old that still doesn't have a sleep schedule at night. We are up all night and its taking a toll on me. I just can't take the constant bickering that we're doing and then my husband is sleeping because he has to work. and when he's not working were fussing because I want him to help out at night but with him working he can't. I tried getting him to take weekends from me but he just can't stay awake. Don't get me wrong he does help out when he gets home after work, but I really need him to help out late at night. Am I being selfish or not. I just feel all alone like I have no one. I am also a diabetic and I know that the way I am sleeping and feeling it not helping. I could bring my lillte boy to my parents house but I would still have to deal with him. They are both in very poor health. Please any suggestions helping to deal with my life would be appreciated.

I'm reading this book called "Natural Cures" by Kevin Trudeau and in it he makes a reference to a man named Earl Nightingale. He say's that that Nightingale made the claim that you become what you think about. Trudeau then say's that fat people constantly think about their weight, which creates the undesired result of being overweight. How is this possible? Just thinking that you will be fat makes you fat? Is that why I see my face as fat ever since I quit smoking, yet nobody else agrees?

It seems to me that our emotions desires will lead only to self fulfillment. It seems much more rational to base our decisions on logic. This would lead to a much more efficient and orderly society.
I realise that basing our decisions on logic is impossible, but why is it regarded as good to "follow your heart" in our society. Logic is... how should I say this... much more... logical.

Why do some people like to have fun to no logical end? It seems to me that a great number of people like to have fun without a productive goal in mind. This, by its self, is understandable, however often people enjoy having fun when it is harmful to themselves and others. For instance, many people enjoy drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. There is no logical reason to do this, it has not benefit to one's self. Also, many people engage in sexual relations purely for enjoyment. This is also quite illogical. One should not act without being aware of the consequences, and since none of the possible consequences are desirable, it makes no sense to engage in such activities solely for the purpose of pleasure. Can somebody please explain this illogical human tendency to engage in "fun" activities that have no possible beneficial outcomes?

I have been diagnosed depressed since 8th grade (11th now) when I began cutting. Told ma and pa after I started. A few times in my life (once about 5th grade) i told mom that i felt like dieing. when i would tell her this she would say she wasn't worried (did she think I was fakeing ?) & never bring it up again. I thought that she didn’t believe me (she has also been diagnosed, don't know how severe it is though) or that she didn’t want to face it (she is supportive in that she doesn’t get mad but not in that she really helps). I stumbled upon & read a letter she composed on the comp to Eldon (prev was my shrink until i was ready to stop [yeah right]), is now my ltl bros, & i believe he is now kates (moms friend) shrink. It read that kate was recently having problems with her new hubby. she has depressed & feels like she can’t love him again. I am sympathetic (&know I shouldn’t have read it). What moms doing is nice, but I have to think cause she never did that for me. When I told her I wanted to DIE she never brought it up again but kate is upset and the world ends. She is often at her house (even before kates issues she was over there) she is there about once a day (while I am at school, but also when I’m home). I get jealous (I get almost no good time with my mom) so I said something in the car (been holding it in) about how she is often over there, & made it obvious I was upset. mom said Kate has problems and that she was helping her (& keeping an eye on her, which she didn’t really do with me). I said that me, dad, Bob (kates hubby), & my sibs all really notice how much time they spend together. She said dad has been devoted to helping kate, & she said that as a kid she spent lot of time with her friends. I said she is NOT a kid anymore and that she has resonsibilites, she said she wouldn’t stop. sounds like I’m whining but i’ve told I want to die & I’ve said how I feel like cutting at times & my probs with friends. Never brings it up, & these are big to me. But when kates upset, my mom runs over. I read recently in a psych book that you shouldn’t give happy pills to a kid (I’m 16) w/out therapy or sometin, or keeping tabs on them, & you should distribute their meds to them. I’m on welbutrin (tried 2 kinds b4) & I dose myself, she only checks if I start acting mad & stuff. I alter my dose ( 3 to 2 to 3 pills) 2 try and feel better. I have been taking meds over a month (hard cause I hate feeling numb when I’m on pills) & yet I’ve been really depressed. I can’t talk to mom (nothing productive happens) & don’t mention friends (thnk I’m weak). My Q’s are am I selfish for being upset about ma & kate? Should I tell someone how I feel? Who? should I ignore this or talk to mom? I can & have been dealing w/ this sorta thing a while (yrs), & I get good times but often not (I’m mostly depressed or numb), but I’m tired of this & wanna get better for good (or atleast now). Nothing seems to work & I’m getting desperate. Plz help Thnx for reading =)

I need a perscription for this drug because I've been very unattentive when it comes to school and schoolwork.

I've heard that when you go to a psychiatrist, they will make you do this test that costs a lot of money that insurance doesn't cover. Is this true? Do they always do this?

I've heard it's a lot harder to get now because college kids are faking the symptoms so they can have a perscription to profit off of by selling it to other kids.

If you've ever gotten a perscription for this or any other ADD/ADHD medicine, please tell me about what you had to go through to get it?

I am aged 27 now and started to take Fluoxetine 20mg when I was 20 years old. I continued it for more than 5 years and stopped it because of GI side effects. Then tried Fluvoxamine, Sertralin, Clomipramine and Dothiepin. SSRIs work but Fluvoxamine and Sertralin cause nausea. I finally settled on Escitalopram and it was good at the beginning. But now relapse is a problem. Tried upto 20mg (still continuing). I am married now and sexual side effects are a big problem. What are my options?
