OK, I have serious internet addiction and my school grades/personal life has taken quite a hit because of it last year.
I really want to cure myself especially since my Junior year in High School is coming up, and I do not want to mess up this important time in my life. Even if I have tons of things to do, I like to stay on the internet for hours - watching anime/speedruns of games on youtube, reading forums, fanfiction, random stuff on wikipedia, just really time wasting things. I can even spend a whole night and a whole day just in front of my computer. Please help me. Now I've got tons of school hw, and studying to do before school starts in September, and I am really desperate!

I personaly have a mental illness and I do like the way I am getting help from the government to some degree. But there are things that I dont agree with like not having a bigger say in what meds I take but honestly I am a fairly assertive person and have ok communication skills unlike alot of my fellow Gifted ones as I would call them. What is it that "normal" people fear so much about a person with say schizophrenia anyhow? Very rarely are people with mental illnesses actualy harmful to others mostly its just to are selfs. Dont I have the right to harm myself anymore if thats what I feel is right? Like the saying goes if you have a bad arm cut it off to save the rest of your body. Well if me as a mentaly ill person feels I have a bad arm dont I have the right to cut it off or no? I guess what im getting at is the fact that I kinda feel trapped in a system where my rights are slowly being taken away or maybe I am giving them away actualy its still sad either way.

I finished college a year ago and for the last 3 years I've been a legislative intern. Now, I got a promotion and will be moving to the state capital for a much better job. I am excited. But I'm also scared.

I've never lived away from home before and this will be my first full time jobs (I've had a number of part time jobs during college) I'm scared I won't be able to handle living on my own or won't be able to handle working 40 hours a week. Sometimes I worry that I don't know what I'm doing or I'm making a mistake. What do you do when you're scared like this -- what helps you?

I feel so nervous when I have to go and do errands. It takes me an hour to get showered, dressed when leaving this house. I don't like people because I don't look my b esty or even close to it. My awful, emotionally draining marrage of 32 years is sucking all of the life out of me. I've lost about 50 pounds because e very time I ate I felt like the food was getting stuck.

This sounds kind of James Bond-ish but can a person be hypnotized to kill a specific victim and not remember it later ? How about hypnotizing someone to have sex with you ? Is there a technique used ?

Does anyone know what the basic symptoms of depression are? I am curious if this is what my problem is. I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys and not sure if what I am experiencing is just normal or if there is more to it. I dont have insurance yet (will in about a month) and want to know if the symptoms I have are those of depression.
Please, serious answers only.

I'm a 17 year old girl about to go into my senior year of highschool. At one point this summer a friend made the comment "damn. you're bipolar as f*ck" later she said that she was kidding, but I looked into it anyway. When I looked up the symptoms I found out that a lot of them matched me, a little too close to comfort. Sometimes I do feel like I'm on top of the world, I can do anything and no one could ever stop me, I feel so happy just to be breathing and can hardly understand why anyone would ever want to be sad. Then some tiny thing will happen that reminds me excatly how easy it is to be sad and I will break down and wonder what point there is to anything in this world. To be honest I'm scared to death because I don't want my parents finding out, I'd never want to worry them or anything. Also, I couldn't imagine being on meds for the rest of my life. Any thoughts anyone?

I dont get it. I was at a wedding sitting and eating with some people I didn't know too well - they were talking about relationships and when they asked me if I'm involved and I said 'no.' Then some girl asked me "Well, what about in the past?" - I told them that I've never been involved with anyone before - a virgin basically.

They couldn't believe it for some reason. Then the table became quiet and no one really talked to me afterwards - I felt pretty discriminated against and also as if they were trying to embarass me for being a virgin with gossip. I have no problem saying that I'm a virgin - I'm not at all ashamed by it at all, but rather empowered that I don't 'give in' to any sexual impulses which makes me feel that I'm in complete control of myself.

I dont understand whats so bad about being a male virgin at 37, or really what there is to be ashamed of. With all the sex on TV and everywhere shouldn't one actually feel a little empowered that they can control it?

I have a close friend with a little girl and I am seriously concerned about this child....She is violent and aggressive....She is also extremely hyper and has no impulse control....She throws everything she can get a hold of and I have seen her hit a lady in the face hard with a toy.....

I don't think it is disciple problems, because her mother does correct her when she does that, my friend is at her wits end....I am not sure what to tell her, since we are good friends, I don't want to offend her. But I don't even want to visit her, because of her daughter's behavior....

This little girl is 2 years old and she is very advanced for her age. Also, she doesnt have any sleep issues that I know of. I am not sure if bipolar runs in her family....Any information would be helpful? thanks from a concerned friend...

My father had a stroke that affected his memory. Since then over the past year, he has days where he will be doing something and all of a sudden he has a bad taste in his mouth and feels nautious and even tries to burpe. He usually gets disoriented when this happens also. His memory gets worse during this time. He will have several episodes of this. He also is losing his way when he drives, but then the next day can remember where he is going with no problem. His doctor does not seem concerned but I am. Has anyone experienced seeing someone in this state before? And, any suggestions?

Just Wanted to Thank You For Your Comments & help regarding it; had it yesterday; didn't feel a thing; i was heavily sedated, but seemed as if I was asleep. The prep was the worst part; i sleep only 2 hrs, due to being on commode all nite - both urinating and dirreah. Glad it's over, tho. All that worrying for NOTHIN; & I was lucky this time; checked out ok; no polyps; no tumors; Everything was normal. I was very lucky THIS TIME ----my first Colonoscopy!
I seem to be doing fine. The procedure took about 20 to 25 minutes. note: I even had to poop a little MORE - that morning and just a few minutes before the procedure!--(mostly water tho). Also, my mouth was very DRY & MY Tongue. Thanks to All of You who re-assured me --before I had the Colonoscopy. BEst wishes to you all!

when i was 8 my mother decided to be an irresponsible adult and left me and my older 1/2 sister behind with our dads. when i found out she was gone and she wasnt coming back, i didnt know what to do...suddenly my sister noticed a behavior change in me. i used to be this happy kid who loved to do everything under the sun, but when this happened, i started to do poorly in school...because i didnt want to do good, i chose who my friends where, but sometimes out of nowhere i would say screw them and not be friends with them anymore.and i remember getting angry at almost anything for no reason....now as an adult i still have a hard time accepting what my mother did...come to find out she is going to be moving back down here in the same city again, and i just dont want this to happen. sometimes when i am in a normal, happy easy going mood, all of a sudden it would just.....change, out of nowhere...i dont know why i get so angry, or how. i feel like i have all this rage and hatred in me...
