You have to see the funny side of Alzheimer's to deal with it when a loved one has the condition. Wouldn't an Alzheimer's musical be hilarious!

I just read a disturbing article that states that suicides outnumber homicides in the U.S., according to Charles Curie, head of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Admin. They average 80 per day.

The really sad news is that 90% of people that kill themselves suffer from diagonosable and PREVENTABLE problems such as depression.

What do you think of these findings and how do you think we all can better help those we know to deal with life better?

i began watching porn at a really young age; 9. the image i got from the sex between the man and woman was that the woman had too look a certain way...big breasts...skinny, and so did the guy..muscular; and for some reason...i noticed that he was barefoot as well...i automatically got the idea that once a guy is barefoot...it just reminded me of raw sex.

Now, when i see a guy that is bareffot or has "sex" feet, such as manly looking feet, i place him in the porno, and it reminds me of being sexual....does anyone get this...

i am straight, and truly love sex with women...i dream about, and even pleasure myself to the thougth of having sex with a woman.
even when i am having sex, i have to have my socks off, because it makes me feel more sexual..i feel like the male porn stars, and even think of myself as having big manly feet...

in a way i feel like its domination maybe..when the guy has his foot down beside her, and she's grabbing on to his feet and legs...

any 1 get me?

I've been on Lexapro for almost two months. It's supposed to have taken effect by now, and it has a little bit--but only a little. My eight-week follow-up appointment is coming up so my doctor can see how effective the meds are. I'm only on 10mg of Lexapro--would it make sense to ask him to up the dosage instead of put me on new meds? I don't want to lose what little progress I've made by having to start all over again on new medication.

I consider myself a normal person. married with 2 daughters. but all my life a have struggled with a shameful fetish. I have had it my whole life and causes me much guilt. I have been to therapy, the whole 9 yards, but never found reasons why or a cure. I have a diaper fetish, how weird is that? I am 48 and have had it since 6 years old.

Okay, this is a multi-part question. Two questions for the price of one, I'm such a cheater!

Anyway, first off--is attempting suicide really illegal? I've never heard of anyone being arrested for attempting suicide, unless it resulted in other people being hurt.

Now, after someone attempts suicide and lives, what happens to them? Let's assume that they're not suffering any brain damage or internal injuries or anything from swallowing poison or pills--so they're basically okay except for whatever terrible thing is going on in their head. What happens? Are they forced into a mental health facility? Forced into therapy? Or are they just allowed to go back into society like nothing ever happened?

First off, I hate a few individuals, with everything in me.

Secondly, I hate President Bush, his administration, the Democrats who are not forcing impeachment proceedings and his supporters for being blind.

How can I stop hating? I hate the fact that I hate so many people.

If so, how long did they last? I mean, two weeks or whatever, or are you still experiencing those side-effects now?
Also what dosage are you on?
(I'm on 20mg)

I keep having dreams about my boyfriends dead grandfather, whom I have never met. He keeps telling me different things. He told me I'm going to be severly hurt in a car accident. My boyfriend really never talks about him and I've only seen a picture twice (which was a really long time ago so I don't think it triggered the dream). Does anyone know what these kinds of dreams mean????
