What's the point in just answering "go to the doctor" or "go get help". I mean it's not BAD that it's said. However some people would like other advice then doctors and meds. I think having people share similar experiences can help a lot.
Also it's annoying when people suggest things like it's easy to do. Like having anxiety, well just get out there and do it. If it were that easy they wouldn't be sitting at a computer asking the question right? Braving up and doing something could make it worse, I know I've been there. Going to the doctor, taking meds, and going to a therapist doesn't cure you. Mental illness is something a lot of people need time to work through.

Even if they see patients all day?
Why do people become therapists, psy's, etc. ?

I met someone so fabulous with depression. He had just separated from his wife 7 months ago. We felt a magic between us and considered things like moving in together. However because of his anxiety, we decided to break-up as curing is issue is the priority. I wanted to support him and really love him also as friend, I offered this to him. He told me he thinks that I am perfect for him, but he told me he needs time so that he can pick up himself again before relationship, always being dependent on me emotionally. He believes in relationship both people have to be secure to certain degree, which he feels he is no where near to at the moment. He still wants to be close to me, and told me he does not want to lose me in his life at all. I am glad that we started talking honestly again, and he told me next day he was glad that we talked, and he thinks that some knd of magic we had before came back between us. Please tell me how I can help him to get through this situation.

Is what I have depression or a way of life?
I've been feeling this way ever since 8th grade. I'm in 10th grade now and I almost always think if I'm suffering from something... I am just really cold and apathetic towards people and things... It's hard for me to seriously look towards the future... I always think of the worst in people... Sleep has become a refuge and my dreams keep me company... I hardly have any friends. The one I did have is nearly disconnected from me.... I can't say I love my parents or family because I don't... The only thing I look forward to is becoming valedictorian and that's just so I can hold that title rather than be the smart, quiet, Asian girl.... I just feel like I don't belong and won't ever belong... Every day is the same... I lost my trust in people... My thoughts are becoming darker and darker... And I hate feeling sorry for myself but who else can I feel sorry for?

i live in NY nassau county. I went on a job interview and the director told me he was going to hire me and welcomed me aboard. However he did say i have to take a civil service exam. My question is do some places allow you to begin working before taking this test? because how can they wait so long if they need to hire someone soon? i wasn't told when i would start, but someone else told me i have to get a psychical exam/bloodwork/ limited permit/ and all this other stuff that is going to cost me a whole bunch of money . So i got the impression they will allow me to begin work before i take this test.

The doctor gave been Paxil for anxiety and it worked well but I had caused huge weight gain (18 lbs in a year) and had sexual side effects. He has now switched me to Lexapro saying its relatively new and does not have these two side effects. Has everyone tried Lexapro and not had these or other side effects?

I have a great dilemma. I am always trying to get things organized but they never are... only for a short period. I can't do anything else: study, read, or just relax if my dishes are dirty in the sink. Then I start cleaning and I see that something else should be done, I should prepare a meal... so I end up in housekeeping all day long and have no time to prepare for my tests and exams which are really important for me. I can do things I like and I need only for a day or so, and later everything starts from the beginning. I should start cleaning and cooking. I am sooo exhausted! How can I end this terrible battle? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Here is a basic description of myself
Currently I'm 2nd year college student. I have no friends, more aquantices, people I will chit chat with here and there. I say hello, they say hello back, etc. No strong friendships or social ties.

I hardly ever go out and when I do I'm by myself. I usually will go a see a movie on a Sunday afternoon and the theater is practically empty. I wondering do I have any strong emotions in my. When my favorite aunt died, I didn't even cry at the funeral. Everyone else around me was. Even my mom and I hardly ever see her shed a tear. The only time I shed a tear is when I have a cold or allergies. Sometimes I just feel numb.

Sometimes I see myself as cold or an uninterested person. When people try to start a conversation with me, I do talk and look them in there eyes. Its like when someone tries to talk me, its like pulling out a tooth. After a while it's like people just give up, and let me be. I just don't feel a connection with people. And
I don't know why.

I rather sit at home in my room and read a book. I'm tired of it. Any tips on what to do or how to build friendships, or stop seeming cold. I've been like this for quite a while, since around 6grade.
