Imagine two people conversing with each other and one of them is constantly harbouring negative emotions or thoughts about the other. Is the other person able to sense it & withdraw from the former?

One more question for all of you medical scholars out there. There was a method I read about on the net some years ago, that involved inducing panic attacks in test subjects who had no history of anxiety. The method used a drug that inhibited a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect on the brain, the so called " mellow molecules". All of these test subjects had to be removed from the test, and, treated with," you guessed it ", Valium. Yes, Valium the medication that is going to destroy western civilization, or so they keep telling me. " Hay cousin", alcohol hasn't brought down the house yet, and it requires no note from your Doctor, you can buy as much hard liquor as you can afford. Yes my friends the highways and, byways of this country are choked with wild eyed drunks in large 4 wheel drive pick-up trucks, just looking for other smaller vehicles to crush. No not even this will bring this country down, it will be brought to it's knees by Wal-Mart and, Chinese manufactured goods!

Ever since I could remember I always had confedence issues. I think that I'm over weight, not smart, and not good enough for anybody. I hate durring class when the teacher make you answer something, it feels like everyone is staring at me like I did something worng then I mess up my words and say what I don't want to. My friends come up to me and say that I'm depressed and should go see a doctor, but I don't talk to my mom a lot so asking her if I could go see a doctor would be alittle odd. It seems like no one will leave me alone also. Everyone seems anoying also. Do I have depression and how should I convince my mom to go see a doctor about it. Or I don't and could anyone give me advice for confednce.

that you had someone to listen to you and really care, offer words of encouragement, to want to talk to you, to be with you when no one else seems to want to, to want to only be with you, to just be there for you and to share stuff with, and to tell you good things, and to feel the exact same way?

On days like this, it's the only I want.. or need. Thought about it a lot today and last night, too, I guess.

Anyone else feel the same?
It's a really bad kind of lonely, I'm thinking.

I'm a 15 years old. For the past seven months I have been much more sensitive then I used to be, and I get sad and angry at friends really easily. For a while, I thought it was just angst, a stage, or just some raging hormones since I am a teenager. But I'm starting to wonder.

Back when this started the feelings used to always pass after a while. but lately, they havent passed at all. in the past two weeks i've barely been happy at all, whether i was with friends or not.

So I started looking up symptoms. Heres all the symptoms I can relate to:
Suicidal thoughts- i have them daily
lack of interest in daily activities- all the hobbies i used to enjoy i just do to kill time now
overall feelings of helplessness and worthelessness-I dont think anything matters in the world nor do i really care for my own life and don't think much of doing anything
feeling of boredom- i'm bored all my life
lack of excitement- i'm not excited for anything, not school or hanging out with friends.

I'm currently taking a fairly low dosage of prozac (One 20mg prozac, once per day), for depression. I'm told that a small amount of alcohol is ok when taking it, but to avoid having too much. I don't want to waste my doctor's time in asking a fairly minor question, but I'd like to know how much I can actually have, and what the risks are.

Any answers are appreciated

Alot of guys USED to put me down about my weight for some reason. I had this one guy for class that used to talk about my weight and poke on my stomache and had a nickname for me which I don't remember it. I was one of the thinnest girls in the class yet he would only put me down and nobody else. He isn't the only one who ever did that either. It seems like everyone is always targeting at me for some reason. I don't have anything to worry about anymore but now I am obsessed with my weight. I am not anorexic or anything but I get very self cautious about it. Why are people so mean?

I worked out what I'd like to do for a living, and studied it. Now I'm seeing how difficult it is to get into my field. I currently work part-time in a job I really dislike - my wage just covers my living costs, but I still have debts from studying (I'm not talking about my student loan here), which I'm stuggling to reduce. I'm applying for jobs when they come up, but usually don't even get a reply, and haven't had a single interview this year. Various circumstances throughout last year got me very down, and I've been on Prozac now for 13 months. The only thing keeping me up, and getting me out of the house is going to the gym which I joined recently - I'm especially enjoying the yoga classes.
I'm in my mid 30s, and feel I've missed my chances. I'm not getting anywhere, I'm just slowly turning into a ghost. I can still enjoy things, though the lack of money is limiting what I can do. What's the point in carrying on?

Anyone have advice on getting over a crippling fear of putting my face in the water? I'm not afraid of drowning, just of not breathing. I have gone to pools and tried to practice, but it dosen't help with the fear. Thanks!

With all of this talk about childhood obesity, do you see in ten years there being an epidimic of eating disorders in young adults? I mean the media is already pushing "skinny" and now our doctors are too. I have been to the park with my children at least once a week all summer and I can count the number of kids I thought needed to make a change on 1 hand. Are other people seeing the same thing in their area or is my town just unusually skinny?
