My best friend smokes almost every day. He does not take his presribed meds. He says his self medication works better. He has worked in emergency medicine for over 15 years. He also has a paradoxal reaction to benzo's.

I know someone who has bipolar and they try to use it as an exscuse to be abusive. I think it is more along the lines that he is psychotic and it is not his bipolar.

Why do I feel so tense and nervous in social situations? I sit there and always think that everybody in the room or where ever I am looking at me and watching my every behavior,than I start to feel really tense and nervous,my face gets red,can barely talk,can't contcentrate at all,my mind is racing one negative though after another non stop. When people talk to me I can barely say couple words to them and than I turn ultra red and my voice becomes really high tone and my eyes get sensitive and red. Could this be some chemical imbalance in my body. How can Panic attacks just appear for no reason. My whole day goes through worrying that everybody is looking at me where ever I am. And I know that if someone will talk to me when I am feeling this way, I wont be able to respond,talk to them. Thats why I started avoiding all social situations. I am average looking guy,and Ive been told by girls that I am good looking. How do I am stop thinking that everyone is looking at me in negative way?

i have a doc am sapous to see but i have no idea if she works on a sliding scale. i would assume so sense out state (oregon) is not exactly know for having rich people in it. and pluse wasco county is very poor. i also cant see her till i get my hormone shots started which will start soon (they want to see if thats the problem but sense i have the same feeling on and off the shots then i am sure my low Testostrone is not the cause)

i am 20 if you must know. also i am slightly depressed with rare suacidal thoughts and way too many homacidal thoughts (they have lessedn over the months) i am always in the mood to kill thous who deserve to die but some times i get in the mood where i want every one dead. i alse view my self to be as worthless as a mass murder or rapeists, but i have done nither though have come close to killing people a few times.

Lately I dream about breaking things (dishes, etc), and sometimes hurting people (random strangers). Why? I'm not violent and no more stressed than the next typical person. Does anyone else have destructive dreams?

I have been seeing a therapist as part of my recovery from depression. In one of our recent sessions, she said that I will never recover until I learn to like myself. That I have a lot of self directed anger, and that I will never be happy in the future if I cannot be happy with who I am now. I have found this to be very hard as I have hated myself for well over a decade. How do I come to terms with who I am and accept that? What are some things that you like about yourself? How do you accept that you may never do "great things"?

Why is it when I wake up I feel much more relaxed but in the end of the day I feel really tense and anxious? I have social anxiety and I get panic attacks everytime when I am in social situations.It made my life miseralbe I hadnt made any new friends in like 3 years. I used to be such outgoing and fun having guy, I was a live of the party. Now I can't even talk to anyone on the phone I get so nervous and panicky,go to the store,I can barely go to gas station and give money to the cashier. I am 20 and I stay home much of the time now,which makes me really depressed. But I found something out that when I wake up I am much more relaxed and less anxious than at the end of the day. But through out the day my body gets more anxious and tense,I can barely concentrate at the end of the day and I have very sensitive eyes. Is there any way to keep my self relaxed through out the day.

I'm in high school, and the pressure or school and this coming year scares me to the point of tears. I'm taking a few advanced courses, and just hearing about them is making me nervous. That and the pressure of sports, my parents, and the need to keep in touch with my friends while finding some time alone for myself is hard. I frequently get this "get out now" feeling when I'm uncomfortable, and I don't know what to do. I only really have one friend who I can talk to about this, and I dont want to load stuff on her. Please help me! I cant keep going around feeling this need to cry!

Every time I fall asleep, I lose major points essential to my grade.
Usually I wake up from some kid slapping the back of my head.
How can I keep myself awake? I have tried drawing, and sitting up at straight as I could. These two methods did not work, but I don't know anything else to do.
