i have a brother who is 10 years old. he is slowly becoming mentally slow every day. I don't think it's possible, but i think he's becoming or developing a mental illness. He can't do simple task such as showering, brushing teeth, opening a can with the can opener, etc. Things that he has already learned how to do. He can't keep up in school anymore. The other day he thought mashed potatos were ice cream. ( he wasn't kidding). We have lived in the same house for 8 years now. About a week ago he asked me where the bathroom was. He wasn't like this before. I hate to say, but he's getting dumber and dumber each day. But here's the odd part, he can play and beat games like Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider, X-Men, The Sims, and the list goes on. My parents fight over this all the time. And it is splitting the family apart. My step-dad doesn't want to get him tested, he thinks it's just a phase. My mom thinks he's autistic or whatever. My grandma thinks he's got a memory problem. Help me out!

What do you do when you feel as if you are making the wrong decision on something? It doesn't have to be a specific thing, just an overall feeling that you're going down the wrong path. Do you meditate? Punch walls? Talk to your best friend? Cry? I just feel as if i'm making a bad decision right now in my life (i'm being vague for a reason, I just want some general tips), and I want to know what some people do to think through decisions or life patterns or whatever. So just whatever hints you could give would be useful.

OK, so please do not make fun of me for asking this question, but I have a fear of driving. Actually I have a fear of hurting myself or others accidentally when I am driving. Especially on highways. You may advice me to discuss this with a doctor, and you are right but in addition to that, one thing would help a lot. Does anyone know if there is a Traffic Accident Database (for California) I can search online so that if I start obsessing about whether I caused an accident or something I can look up and see if there was an accident in that area ? I hear people with OCD usually have similar fears. Also, even if you dont know of such a database, if you have similar experiences, I would love to hear about them. Thank you so much.

I was sexually molested and abused by many family members when I was a kid. I couldnt voice these to anyone becoz they treated me like trash when I was a kid and I know no one would believe, rather would start beating me up. Im a 21 years old woman now, the aftermath of those incidents still traumatize me and make me scared of men and women in social circles. They still haunt me.

How can I get over them?

I've just cut myself for the very first time and I'm panicking a bit, I don't know if it's worth telling anyone but I don't want to feel this unwell again so i thought i'd try the net and i found this service. So here's whats happening.. I cry everyday (have done so for atleast the last 6 months) I constantly feel suppressed, frustrated and down. I'v had a drink (among other things) every night for the last 3 weeks but it wasn't till tonight that i totally lost it and just had to feel something else, so i cut myself. has anyone else felt like this? is there anything practical i should do that's worth it?

I used to hate the dark when I was a child. I tried so many times to become adapted to the dark to rid my-self of the uncomfortable feeling it gave me, but attempts were unsucsessful, even after month of trying.

I conquered my fear of hieghts and of deep water and learning to swim; but I noticed that it was far easier to over-come these fears, dispite these being far worse than with hating the dark.

Are there any children who are NOT bothered by the dark? I have yet to meet one.

What is it with the dark? Nothing is any different, just because I turn out the light.

No doubt this will generate sarcastic responses, but I would like to understand why some people have to resort to sarcasm instead of trying to really help and give a proper answer, argument or suggestion.

k, well see i have been diagnosed w/ depression, but have been on meds lately and have been feeling better. I don't get mad as easily, and i cuss less in my mind that before (i would say the f word in my mind all the time over everything). Now though, i have noticed an increase of cussing (verbally) and i don't know why. In the past few days i have already pretty much created the habit or saying Scheize (sorry, sp?) when something goes wrong. I keep saying the s word, a word, things like that. My friend has noticed it, and i don't know whats up. I have also noticed an increasin of flipping people off, even just to be funny (guy made me mad, jokingly flipped him off so my freind could see). The prob is i don't like this, and my friend is mormon and i don't want to offend her. And plus i'm just worried i will replaspe into depression. Please, don't give me anything about how cussing isn't bad, just please help me. thanks

My husband has manic episodes. I don't know if it's bipolar or split personality or something else. Everything will be fine one minute, and the next minute he's screaming and saying horrible things like that he is going to break my neck and psychotic things that is very sick. I try to get him to calm down because I know he's saying things that he doesn't mean. He's going to the doctor to get diagnosed and treated, but his appointment is three days away. He has an episode at least once a night. How do I handle it? He is extremely psychotic. I try to calm him down, but it doesn't work. What can I do to bring him out of his episode? (Until he gets put on medicine.)

I'm on the computer.
My boyfriend, instead of asking me to turn of the computer because he's ready to go to bed, says "I guess I'll go lay down in the other room since you are on the computer.
I say "It's OK. I'll shut it all down, now."
No response. He just walks out of the room. And I know he heard me!

No - I haven't been on the computer all day. I had been on for maybe 30 minutes.

He does this kind of thing quite often.

Is that passive aggressive? Manipulative? What?
