If your spouse was bed ridden with terminal cancer for weeks and in constant agonizing pain and no drug alleviated the pain would you consider helping them to die? What if your spouse beggged you over and over to kill them. Would you help them die or would you watch them suffer on and on?

I've been really depressed for the past seven years and I've gotten hundreds of different explanations and diagnosis from variouse psycologists, but nobody seems to be able to help me. I'm only 21 and I'm tired of life already. I was told that I'm bipolar two days ago by a psycologist from my home town, but I've been told so many different things that I just don't know how to make myself feel better. I'm a recovering drug addict and I fear that I might relapse if I don't get the appropriate help soon. Can anybody help me? Please!

Whenever anyone asks me how things are going for me, my whole emotional "system" shuts down. No matter how much emotional pain I may feel at all other times of the day, if someone asks me how I'm feeling, I suddenly can't feel the pain or remember what's causing it. Sometimes I can feel the crying inside, but it's like an 80 foot thick wall goes up, and the crying won't come to the outside.
I was reading tonight about a real medical condition that causes difficulties in expressing yourself verbally to other people. Is there a condition in which you can't express your emotions?

Nothing ever works quite the way we plan.And it seems that the better you behave,the worse things fall down at your feet.

I have a family member who cuts themselves, they are very shallow scratches but enough to draw blood. How do I react to them , what steps should I take and are there any support groups for this.

It is hard for me to understand why but it seems like I hear of this a lot on the news etc.

I am very worried!

This girl I talk too online well lets say i devoted so much of my time i told her and offered to do anything for her, i sent her letters,flowers, etc..... lets say a 2 year friendship which I wanted to turn into a relationship....

Well basically she ignores me now cause well i was a bit of a jerk to her and did some bad things,which i explained why and said i was sorry and did everything i could to make up for it but still ignored...

The reason i ask ifnot mentally right, is because really does a person with a heart really do this to a person, just plain out ignore them after one has given so much time, tears, and love to them.

I know its online but still this confuses me, because she says shes a virgin, so if she is not interested in other guys, then what the heck could be the problem? How am i suppose to convince her that hey i want u because of u, i want to do things with u that other guys wouldnt dare do with you, i can give u anything that anyone else can... How???

I used to think it was fun to catch spiders, now getting near one that is bigger than a dime makes my back cringe and I want to stand on a chair. (sometimes I actually stand on a chair and continually check everything around me for spiders).

Okay, well, there's this autistic kid in my school. At first I felt sorry for him and everything since he was autistic, but now he's started harassing me.He likes to get his binder and pretend to hit me over my head when I'm not looking. He does that to everyone too. He even wrote me a note telling me to stick a pinecone in my shirt and signed it as one of the teachers. I'm so angry and annoyed. I've tried talking to him to get him to stop. He also runs in front of me when I'm walking some where and stands in front of the door so I can't get in. He has a crush on me, but he just doesn't understand that I will never like him. I even told him I don't like him. I've tried everything, even asking the teachers for help, and they've given him constant lectures, and it'll stop for a while, but then his habits come back but everytime bigger. I have lost hope. What should I do?? He's a freshman in high-school, and so am I.

Ok, I'm paranoid and suicidal. I think everyone is out to get me and always plotting.

I'm also very intelligent. I have a way of telling people what they want to hear especially doctors.

I have been on prozac for 13 years 40mg per day. I have been diagnosed with bi-polar and depression.

Ok, I think I am clinicly paranoid but If I tell my doctor will he believe me? See, just that statement is paranoid.

But can you be paranoid and now it? I am so feaking confused.

I have been so paranoid lately that I have pre-empted attacks on loved ones emotionally and have ended up with a restaining order and contempt charges.

Sometimes I just want to eat a freaking bullet and end it all.

You don't survive. You run up your bills, bankrupt then when you think you have paid off the bankruptcy your youngest son gets cancer. Not just any cancer but brain cancer. Ganglioglioma. Very rare. Wow, you did manage to get insurance though but wait. The insurance, Assurnet, tells you he's not covered because it's considered pre-existing condition.

Ok, now what......Childrens Hospital in New Orleans takes you and Ronald McDonald House puts you up. None of them want any money. Charity's come forward and help with phone cards and gas. Your son gets his operation then a freaking Hurricane Named Katrina comes to town. All your help and doctors leave. Fema rushes in. Help the helpless they say. Wait, isn't my kid helpless? No, he's white.

Well the waters subside and you get your son out of the hospital but where are all the doctors? They left. Where is the help? Gone too. Where is the city? Destroyed.

It's been almost a year and as you type this you are glad that somehow your son managed to recover. Now everyone is back in New Orleans. Do you know what they want from you? MONEY? Guess what? You don't have any. You can't bankrupt again and you can't get a job because you are now yourself an emotional wreck and your job was destroyed.

You love America but it's hopless. Everyday you get closer to eating that bullet.

You don't survive America.

I don't think I will.

If you're reading all of this, then I really appreciate it. I've been suffering from ups and downs of depression for the past 3-4 years; as well as feelings of low self-worth esteem. I'm currently in my last year of highschool and I'm just not sure if I can make it. I've pushed through for so long..and I'm long overdue for my release. I think I know the cause of all of my mental tourmoil..You see, in 7th and 8th grade I was severaly teased on a daily basis, and it does wonders to your mind. I healed some over time, but the feelings of low esteem, feeling below everyone else, and fear of others still remained.From 9 to 11th grade I healed alittle more, but still, I felt bad about myself. And because of that weak point in my life, I was still teased somewhat 9-11th grade because I did nothing to stand up for myself. I know I should've told someone, or stood up..but one cannot understand the feeling unless it happens to you. I dont want my grades to drop, so should I homescool or stay?
