this is a catch-22...i have been depressed for about 4 years now...i think know why im depressed and i also know that by doin this one thing ill immediately get out of depression...but to do it i need energy and motivation which i dont have because im depressed...and ive been trying to do it for almost half an year now...the continuous failures are giving me panic attacks everyday...
Therefore,should i go to the doc and get the meds or should i wait a little longer to see if i can do that thing without the meds?I dont want meds coz they can become addictive and can have horrible side effects...

about 6 months ago i went into the doctors and was given meds for depression. they didnt work for me. i dropped outta school. was put on another medication. made things worse. then just a month ago i was given a 3rd medication to try. and it didnt help either. school is starting in 3 weeks and i have really bad anxiety about things, especially if they are new to me. i have panic attacks. anxiety and my depression was what kept me from going to school last year. and going back is scaring me. but its what i wanna do. i just dont wanna go back to the bad place of being so lost and alone, cuz i have no motivation..my parents arent supportive really, and my friends and i rarely talk. so i want to find a medication that works..i was supposed to have a doc appt to see if the 3rd med that i was on worked and i cancelled it cuz my mom didnt wanna take me. i wanna go..

my ? is how do i convince my mom to take me?and i guess is there anything u do that u can share to help w/stress? please and ty

The other day a question and an answer here on Yahoo Answers was in violation and they deleted them as they should. Now I feel so dirty and horrible for violating Yahoo. They trusted me to ask and answer appropriately and I betrayed that trust. I dont know if I can ever forgive myself for letting down Yahoo.

Should I donate a large sum of money to the widows and orphan's fund of YA?

How can I make it up to these wonderful people?

How can I learn to not violate them again?

I know nothing can reverse the damage I have caused but somehow I will learn to live with it I guess.

I dont know wether to continue taking my anti depressants and anti phychotic medication? I havent taken them for some weeks now and have had some nasty side effects coming off them, however now the medication is out of my system i have felt extreemly depressed and attempted to take my life twice. Obviously it seems i should begin my medication again but i am really scared for some reason. I dont want to be changed into a different person by meds. If this is me (depressed / suicidal) maybe i should stay that way i dont want meds to change me! I dont know what to do right now, now ive stopped the meds its hard to start them again! (oh im a 22 year old female from the UK)

it just seems so unfair that we only have so much time on eart, totally impossible to experience everything, to know and understand everything, to accomplish everything...Is it bad to strive for perfection, and what the heck is perfection??? I don't think it exists...There is no way you would be good and familiar with everything, no way you would know if you've found your happiness just because there is soooo much out there (information you"ve never reached, people you've never met, philosophies you've never been introduced to, resources you never reached) that you are completely oblivious to...Oh I am starting to feel so pittifull...

I am frightened that my husband can't control his anger. Last night while I was at work, he told me our son kept waking up. The last time he woke, my husband threw our son's johnny jumper at the wall leaving a huge dent in it. Our son was not in the same room when this happened. I know my husband would never ever want to hurt our son, but I am afraid that one day he might not be able to control himself. How can I persuade my husband to get help for anger management?
