I am a 24 yr old single mom of a 4 yr old. I am in school full time, 9 hrs a day. I commute on transit for 3 hours a day with daycare, school, etc. I am in debt, can't find cheaper housing, and am scraping by- barely. I reuse items, only buy on sale items, cut out dining out, no nights out with the girl, have been selling old clothes, toys, etc on ebay to make some cash... I am behind 2 months on rent because my student loan hasnt come yet (6 weeks late). I am about to be evicted. I am really stressed out, and I find myself hysterically crying all the time over silly things. I cry myself to sleep every night, I worry constantly... my appetite is gone, and I just want to lay in bed and sleep all day.
I was once on antidepressants, but don't want to go that route again. I just so badly want to be a good mother to my son, and to get back on track financially. I make sure my kid has nice clothes, eats very well, goes to swim lessons. but I am barely keeping up. I'm depressed. Any advice?

She called me about 4 months ago at about midnite and left me a photo of a televangelist on my cell phone along with a picture of Jesus. I had to be up at 5 am for work the next morning. I appreciate the thought, but that was crazy.
She has mental problems and I think these church people affect her in a negative way. She blocks her phone number, so I cannot call her, but she calls me over and over in a day. She now wants me to go see a prophet at a camp site revival meeting today sometime. I feel bad because I dont want to take her to this meeting and I think maybe she will become mentally gorked off of this preacher. Would you take her anyway?

How do you really know if someone has ADHD when the only test given is a questionaire that is sent to the teacher and parent of the child and some observation.?

Is it right to give a small child drugs to calm him down so that he will fit into society.?

Can anyone answer these questions?.

I'm worried that going to a psychiatric assessment will mean being sectioned. Can I refuse and would it be better to find a counsellor first and use that as an excuse to avoid an assessment?

It seems like everday, I get into an argument with my boyfriend and almost every night I am crying. Sometimes I stop crying to figure out what got me so emotional in the first place. The first thing that people tell you is to see a doctor. Well I went to see a doctor and of course they told me I was depressed...which is the obvious and then they just gave me a prescription to take. I have been to 3 different doctors and all have done the same procedure, but question is why? Sometimes I feel like there is no way out. My biggest fear is to end up like my siblings, broke, uneducated, negative, and unhappy. With the exception of being "uneducated", I seem to be going down the same path of having no financial stability, being a negative individual, and being very unhappy. Why is this happening? How can I break this cycle, live me life and be happy?

Ive known about my dads dementia for many many years.
Ive known about m dads alz almost since the beginning (since his wife (not my mom) had him tested.

Im going to see my dad who has been in a alz wing of a nursing home/assisted care place (near his wifes & his home).

I already know he has virtually no short term memory.
I already have his affairs (in working with his wife) all taken care of.

Also, without dementia/alz he has been for decades 'normally' violent type (verbally mostly)
It does seem to have muted since alz.

Question: What else should I expect?

Plz, only constructive comments, Im already resigned to his being gone mentally and already know what/who on the estate.

I have been raped by others boys when I was a student some years ago (when I was 19...I am nearly 22 today) and I finally realize that I didn't enjoyed the last years of my life. I believed to have overcame this problem as I am now rarely scared by others people (even if I still have a problem with people I don't know) but some weeks go, I went out with a girl for the first time in years and when time came to go further with her (sorry if I shock prude & very religious people) I was unable to touch her, as I was unable to let her touch me. What would YOU do ? I know there is no magical solutions but I am seeking for a solution, something allowing me to have a even more "normal" life.

I am having trouble staying awake at work everyday because I am constantly in front of a computer. I have tried taking breaks here and there, but I am still very tired. I get adequate rest, 7 hours, plus I exercise. Also, I do not drink coffee. Any suggestions?

If you are at work and something bad happened to you and you don’t want to show that at work place I understand that. I am talking about people who know that their life isn’t perfect but they don’t even tell their family or friend. They just put on their happy face all the time how can they do that? If something bad happened to me I can’t wait talk about, I mean if my friends or family are not around I will call and tell them. I don’t like pretending that is just me. How about the rest of you I am just wondering?

The world just seems like such a heap of crap, everyone out to make money, and buy electronics. People work watch tv eat and sleep. Ocasionally having kids, so the race doesnt die out.. Why do any of you bother, what keeps you going form day to day. I mean, if your reading this youve got 60 years left to live, and 20 of those you will have dementia, or not be able to walk.. or something of the like. Can anyone give me a non-stupid(including religion) reasson to actually keep living. I dont want kids, i dont want money, i dont want a car or a tv, or alcohol. Why should i bother. Note all you kind people who say things like kill yourself.. I hope you realise yahoo records what you say, and your IP address, so it can be tracked to you, or your family, and that you are part of the reason i find life so meaning less, if people werent mean just cos they could be, or oh how really funny they were, or cos it made their m8 laugh, i might smile for the first time this week.

I get shakiness and tearfulness every morning and generally look very down. I find this 'lifts' lunchtime-ish (albeit moderately). Does anyone have any tips/ideas how to get this awful feeling 'lifted'? I'm currently on no medication. Thank you.

Atleast for the last 60 hrs. Can it be for real or is my brain having its sleep without my knowledge or is it just an illusion. The recent circumstances wouldn't let me close my eyes. Would sleeping pills be of any help. If yes, can someone tell me which....!!!!
