Mental Health - September 2006

I can "read" anything, but I struggle with comprehending almost everything. (I understand it, but only with intense concentration) When I read, it seems the words just don't click, and they just get forgotten as soon as I reach the next word. I would read a sentence over and over, and still have trouble with it. Once I read an entire paragraph, I already forgot most of the content. I keep getting worse and worse, and sometimes I just completely go blank. What is wrong with my brain? I am in 11th grade.

I have been taking it for 2 years and it seemed to help, but the last few months, I just seem more lethargic and get depressed easily. Can it lose effect after a while??

Some people think it's crazy, while others consider it a sign of intelligence. What do you think?

Just started taking Cymbalta, 20mg twice a day, and have noticed that the vision in my right eye is not clear. Not blurry really, but as if my vision got weaker.

I had Lasik surgery 4 months ago, so I am sensitive to vision changes. I am due for an Lasik "enhancement" on my left eye due to an overcorrection, and now my right eye is weaker. I'm not sure but I am guessing it's the Cymbalta.

Lots of side effects of antidepressants go away after you've taken it for a while - my question is: Will this side effect (blurred vision) go away also?

seek abuse from others such as life partners, friends, ect..? Even if they are not aware of it do they do it subconciously? Is it easy to correct or are they just "cursed"?

Why do I feel this way????? I am always feel kind of sad and very lonely.I think bad about my self. Nothing in life interests me anymore. When people talk around me I find their conversation very boring so I never talk with people.Plus I know they wouldn't want to talk to me,because I am very insecure,not fun,negative person. I always expect worst things to happen,and I always find someting bad in everything. I feel inferior to others. I never lead I always follow. I can barely make my self laugh. I feel tired all the time,anxious and sleepy. I really want to change but how do I do it,plz any one?

And I have ADHD, but I'm not sure if that is the only reason. It involves putting the words together and creating an image, which requires some skill. I am also left-handed, so my brain is different (opposite) than right-handed people.
