One my psychiatrists said I probably have Attention Deficit something or other. He was trying to explain it to me, but he tends to ramble on and on like my sister does sometimes when i'm trying to watch tv. Have you seen that new show called psych? That was pretty funny. I was staying in a hotel when I caught the season premiere, but it was on kinda late and I had to get up early. I hate getting up early. It's so.... early. I'm not a breakfast kind of person. Unless it's McGriddles. OOOOOHHHHH Have you had a McGriddle? They so do not taste good for ya. But what is good for you anymore? I think at one time or another the surgeon general has determined that everything is bad for you. Can you imagine being a surgeon? Holding somebodies life in your hands. I found a cut on the back of my left hand the other day. I have no idea how it got there. I can't think of anything that I might have done that would have cut it. I think it might be getting infected too.

Has anyone personally experienced or know of anyone who has experienced losing their voice, after seeing or experiencing something shocking? If so, do you know of the exact medical term or a link where I could read information on it?

Ok so ever since I was 10 I have been going to therapy or on meds. I am now 28 and have been diagnosed with so many differnt things I dont know what to believe. First I was depressed then I was manic. Then I was told I have a borderline personality. Thewn I was told I had bipolar disorder. I have been hospitalized once. I have been on Lithium, prozac, Depakote, Zoloft and a few others I dont remember. How can one person be told so many different things and never really know. The med I am on now doesnt work and I am just so sick of it.

My boyfriend lives in California and I live in Texas we call each other several times a day and then spend up to three hours on the phone at night. About four days ago I got a really bad headache and it has not gone away since then. I have been taking pain relievers but they only work temporarily. Someone mentioned that it could be my constant cell phone use. Could this be true?

I am diagnosed with major clinical depression, suffer symptoms of adult ADD and Aspergers, and am being treated with medications for the clinical depression (wellbutrin xl 300mg). For the past 24 hours or so, my condition has been deteriorating to the point where I am constantly near the state of tears and every few minutes the stress builds up so high that I suffer muscle spasms and twitching that lasts up to five seconds, generally involving my arms or head. I'm not feeling suicidal, but there is a distinct and crushing weight of being in the wrong life (and the right one, unfortunately, is 100% unattainable in modern society). It's not so much "I want to die" as "I wish I wasn't alive" (an important distinction, it's kept me alive throughout a lifetime of depression).

So I suppose I'm asking, and I know the legalese about "not meant for diagnosis or treatment, etc...".

What additional treatment/therapy may be available,

and,

is what I've described a crisis situation?

ok I have a few weird habbits. For example, when someone is talking to me and I'm listening but I'm not really paying much attention, when ever they finish their sentence I listen to the last word they say and I count the letters on my fingers until it covers every finger. Hard to understand maybe, I'd have to show u to get.

ORRRRRRRR whenever I'm really paranoid about something, like whether or not my band is gonna get a gig at some place, I think like this "if I the dryer doesn't go off in 20 minutes, we won't get the gig. " Damn, it's so hard to explain this kind of crap. lol

well I always thought OCD was sumtin that is made up or it's just what doctors tell u to shutup and it's usually all in your head but when I've told ppl my habbits, they bring up OCD. Is it possible that I have it?

I have suffered from depression for at least 10 years. My entire family has some sort of depression and we are all medicated. My boyfriend says I'm not depressed. I feel like he thinks I'm lazy. Whenever I get really depressed and try to talk to him about it, he says,"everybody has the same problems you do. It's how you handle it." Then he changed the subject. Last week I couldn't get out of bed for 2 days and told him sometimes I felt like I wished I were dead and don't understand what the point is. He thinks I'm being a baby and making up excuses for not going to work. Am I doing myself an injustice by continuing in this relationship? Depression is a huge part of my world, and at times I feel like I'm being brushed aside, and like it's not a really illness.

My 23 year old daughter is the youngest of three children. She is a lovely girl who graduated from a fine University one year ago. She took a job right after graduation with a large retail company and was hired into a management training program. Within a few months she started to suffer from anxiety attacks and her health started to fail. She developed all kinds of somatic complaints including some physical problems like severe acne which she had never had before. All physical exams and blood work came up negative. She would not take antidepressants but tried exercise and yoga. She quit the job and things improved but now I notice she is starting to suffer from anxiety and hypochondria again. She calls me on the phone every few days telling me she is sure she has skin cancer or lymphoma. Because I am a nurse I know her symptoms are not related. In the past we determined that 24 hours after any alcohol she would go through these fragile times. Any ideas or similar experiences?

I also struggle with addiction and I feel frozen most of the time. I procrastinate until situations go from bad to worse simply because I am fearful. I desperately want to be thankful for the gifts G-d has provided me and I want to treat myself well. I am ready to make life changes, but there are so many different ideas on how one should life their life. What I do know is that I want to be a good person, to myself & to others; I want to be thankful; I want life to be suprising, wonderful and fulfilling; and I want to let go of all this sadness and fear that paralyzes me. I would love to hear your suggestions.

I've started so many different courses at different colleges and had so many different jobs, I can't seem to finish anything and it's really having an effect on my life. I seem to never get anywhere and all my friends are furthering their careers or finishing university. I want these things for myself but the motivstion never seems to see me through and I end up failing all over again. I've tried speaking to other people about it but I thought I'd try you guys.

I just started taking Effexor last night to help with depression and anxiety and feeling of guilt, etc....caused by, related to and made worse because of Bulemia. I have just begun getting help for my eating disorder, though I know i have years of recovery ahead of me. I read the petition online over Effexors devastating side affects, and am now totally freaked out. One of the main things mentioned was massive weight gain. Of course this scares me so badly, I know if I gaina single pound, I will go back to what I know, and the reason for my hell in the first place. I just want to know if anyone else out there has been prescribed Effexor b/c of an eating disorder, and how you experience was, good or awful. I just started taking it last night, and I am taking the extended release, so i am starting on 37.5 and working my way up. If anyone can give me any advice or ANYTHING, please, please do! Thank you

Why do people mistake confidence for for being cocky? What is the world if you can praise yourself? I'm a fifteen year old African-American boxer and someone says your a discrace represent another country. I bet if my idol Muhammad Ali started going into his brags they'd think it was funny.
