I just started Adderall XR this week, and I don't think it is working. I am still tired all the time, and don't feel more focused.

I observe that anxiety and depression might be due to shortage of blood or oxygen or iron to the head and brain

I am very very obsessed with a band and I think it may be getting unhealthy. I like them far more than anyone I know and I am even starting to get upset that I can't meet them. I think it may be getting out of hand sorta. I just can't stop listening to their music.

I am going out for a pass, the ball comes right to me, I catch it and start running for the end zone, but the uprights keep getting farther and farther away and the other guys are catching up to me. And then I wake up out of breath, and I never get to make the touch down. Am I crazy? Do I need to kill myself because I'm a loser? I haven't played football in fourty years! Hardly even watch it on tv.

I plan on going to a therapist/counselor soon for shyness problems. I was just wondering what kind of things I could expect there.
-Will I be talking to him/her alone or with a parent, if a parent comes?
-What could be asked and discussed?

Why can I now all of a sudden remember the faces of people I killed but cannot remember the faces of my friends who died? Why am I now having bad dreams of Nam when I have been able to block it out for so many years? I can ask these questions here because none of you know me or will ever meet me, so I really don't have to worry about being embarrassed. Sometimes I think maybe it's time for me to check out. I have done some things I am not proud of and carried this with me for so many years. But It's just now coming back to haunt me. Is it now payback time?

delayed and attends a day program. The case manager keeps wanting her to be MORE sociable. I agree that she has a problem with sociaizing but what is so wrong with having 1 person to talk to? She has managed to find that one that will talk to her. She has tried to get other kids to do some activity or other with her but they always refuse. While I realize the other kids have problems too, it seems almost unfair for the CM's to be making a big deal about my duaghter not being a 'social butterfly' when the other's aren't either. So I (we) are here to ask what you think?

I really don't think I can handle any of these feelings anymore. The person that I have been in love with for the last 4 years told me about a month ago that he never wants to see me again. I can't stop thinking about him and what an idiot I am for making this such a big deal. We stopped going out in January, so this shouldn't be such a big deal. I've even started to outline a note and a list of "last things to do" in my head before it happens. I can't get help, because if I ever did, my parents (who I live with) would make fun of me, they tend to follow me into every room of my house, including me in the shower, and tell me what a terrible ****-up I am at everything, including my last relationship and I can't stand it anymore. I am in constant physical pain(nerve damage to my knee) that is close to unbearable, and the only thing that helps is booze, and I'm drikning alot more then I want to beause of it. I don't think that there are anymore options, I've tried talking to friends

One of my cousins came back from Iraq and things were going fine for about a month. He had a soon to be wife, a son along the way, and was making good money selling his art. Then he started drinking very heavily, and is now in a rehab center. Can anyone please tell me how I can help him.

I have been on paxil cr for about 6 days and started having some quesy feelings. No vomiting. Will this feeling pass after a few days? I feel better, except for the queasiness. I tried Zoloft and had more severe nausea.

I can't seem to gain weight or keep it on for some dam reason. My appetite is not normal - I don't feel like eating much sometimes even if I see my favorite food, I feel like I'm too full to eat it, or sometimes my mouth doesn't feel like chewing or swallowing, my weight is always fluctuating. And other days, I feel like eating a cow, so I eat all day until I'm almost to the point of exploding, but don't. I could gain 8 pounds in a week or two, then lose it a few days later. What the hell is up with that? I'm not annorexic or belimic. Any advice, besides "eat, b*tch"? I think its a mental problem or something.

at this problem to make it easier on my mind and to deal with? plus at the moment im sucked into myspace and giving it a supernatural name. the point is, how would i know if im losing touch with reality and becoming delusional.? plus if in your life youve had alot of trauma and been deeply wounded by people, psychologically and emotionally, like being bullied at school when you were younger, being harrassed in the street by gangs in the more recent past, how do you forgive people, wen u have so much incredible anger?

I am a Katrina survivior, and am really depressed today. I've lost two elderly neighbors in the last year, and I can't help feel as though Katrina is still killing us. I've seen people loose hope...young and old. I had a friend attempt suicide by cop. This is just really crazy.
My question is this...Is there any reason to hope?

Is there any kind of statistics on grown men that suck their thumb? I know this 24 year old guy who still sucks his thumb..when he's watching t.v. and such. He said that he just never grew out of it. He's also one of those "spoiled" people. His parents just bought him his own house because he broke up with his girlfriend (right after signing a year long lease on an apartment with her). It's like they never properly disciplined him or something. Anyway, do you guys think that is REALLY weird for a grown man to suck his thumb? Is it a sign of some kind of serious underlining mental issue?
