Depression is considered an illness, but happiness is also an extreme on the emotional spectrum. I think it takes quite a bit of self-deception and selective thinking to be happy. Is it any more sane or "real" than being depressed? Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not anti-happiness - after all, happiness is the healthier choice! (rough food equivalency charting affect on health: depression/deep-fried chicken topped with ice-cream v.s. happiness/a glass of V-8 juice with a shot of ginseng extract.)

is it weird to live in one place for 15 years and then become scared of what happens and what the place is ?
also would it be weird for someone to panic and get sick at just the thought of going back to school or work ?
please give details not just yes or no please.

I have more sad days than happy days. Plus, I have awful PMS which doesn't help 14 days out of each month. I have tried anti-depressants more than once but stop taking them after about 2 weeks because they make me feel weird. Should I try to stay on them? Will they stop making me feel weird?

In my dream, I was reorganizing and cleaning. But It wasn't my real apartment,it was bigger. In the dream I lived there. There were alot of old-fashioned white wooden drawers. There was white linoleum & walls in this dream. It was an old-style 1940s apt. None of this is in my real place.

There was a woman holding a baby. I don't think it was my baby. (I am in my 40s, and don't have a baby in real life.)
The woman holding the baby was standing near a white wooden door frame.
I opened one of the white wooden drawers, and found jars of Baby Food. Some of the jars were full, some of them half full, some of them empty. But all the jars of baby food were bad.
I said to the woman "They are past their expiration date."
I removed the baby food jars from the drawer, and threw them out.

Baby Food ? White drawers? A baby?
I recently went through having two friends betray me, and leaving a social situation. Could this signify childish things in my life ?

Thank you !

Any real advice will be greatly appreciated.. thank you..

I do. It seems like a mini-death, and marks the end of an always too-short day. I go to bed with this unsettling feeling that I've left some task undone.

I have been having these voices in my head lately. They've been telling me to do all sorts of things, like rape my sister and kill a pizza delivery man. At first I thought it was cause of some bad crystal meth I took, now I think I'm really screwed up. What do I do? They're driving me crazy!

When i was 22yrs old i wasn't afraid of being alone, I lived on my own in my little studio apt, no problem. Now i am 27 and if i am alone at night i get scared, and i start thinking about bad stuff. To make long story short i am more fear full. Sometimes I get so scared for no reason my heart beats so fast. What is the best way to get use to being alone again, having my TV on is not helping. I also have a problem sleeping at night. serious tips only!

My fear of large crowds is always in the back of my mind. When the bus is stopped for a red light, i feel completely consumed with fear. I feel like i need to bolt off the bus. I start to fidget and have trouble swallowing. Once the bus is in motion, i feel so so , but still not ok. I dont know where this phobia is coming from. Can anyone else relate to this? Do you have any suggestions? I have tried counselling to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

I seem to somehow enjoy being sad, like when I listen to sad music. I think I've struggled with depression for so long that I've actually grown accustomed to it. Does this happen to anyone else?

I was born disabled & am in a wheelchair - My Mom died a yr & a half ago....I became friends with her & she betrayed me & took my kids with the help of Children family services (I cannot afford a lawyer because me & hubby make too much even tho we only bring home $1,045 BUT we make too much for the court to appoint one) I asked every lawyer in the area to defend me & they all said it would cost over $1000 .....Someone rear ended my brand new car & screwed up my back even more.......
Why shouldn't I kill myself so I can't feel this horrible pain anymore???
