Can anyhone really fight depression. It seems to me that it comes and goes as it pleases. How do I fight it? Getting help isn't fighting it...it just gives insight..well atually it doesn't even do that. Trying to stay active...that just makes me a functioning depressed person. Think positive...give me a break. I think you have to ride out depression like a wave..and look for meaning in it. I think people would have a better chance of fighting cancer...which is another BS myth in my book

I know I shouldn't be so self-centered but it's true. I try to help people through volunteer groups and in my daily life with money..shelter..advice..etc. All that happens is that people will take advantage of me. Most peole don't even want my help. I'm mostly a quiet person so that is not conducive of keeping company. all and all I really don't like people as company anymore as crazy as that sounds and I would like to live a life of solitude. What are your opinions on this sort of lifestyle? Some people say that people need human interaction, but I don't feel that is neccesarily true. My docs say that I am depressed...but Ifeel that people just use me and bring me down. of , course he is against it, but no offense but I take everyting I heasr from my shrink with a huge grain of salt

Whenever i leave the house or go to bed,i spend alot of time checking everything is locked,windows shut,taps off,and all plugs off etc. It's taking over my life. After i have closed the front door behind me i stand there for about 5-10 minutes checking it is locked by pulling it. On my way to work i keep thinking and worrying if i closed everything. This is driving me crazy but i cant stop. A few years back my house was broken into and valuables taken so i'm wondering if this has got something to do with my paranoia?

People seem to always think just because you are having some behavioral issues that you need to seek help from a pshycologist. But isnt it possible that as you become more aware of your negative actions that you can have enough self control to rectify the issue on your own without professional help?

Don't get me wrong. I sometimes laugh at them, too. However, I was just wondering if there was some underlying psychological cause. Any suggestions?

because I am way stressed out.He just last week precribed Zoloft for me to take along with my Xanax. My pharamisist filled it no problem.Since then I have talked to other pharmicists and they say those two shouldnt be taken together..I havent taken it yet,because I was having some tests done and didnt know if it would interfer. Whats everyones opinion on Xanax and Zoloft together? I dont know who to trust. I have been on antidepressents in the passt and Im sure i must have been on Xanax to,because i have been on most of the past 17 years,except when they had me on Klonopin years ago? Any advice?

I am currently in a four month relationship with a girl that I love with all of my heart. She is the best thing that has happened to me and I honestly believe that. She's always nice and sweet to me and just everything is so great. The only thing is I told one lie to her and I can't get over it. I let this girl give me a handjob or whatever before we were going out and before I had even met her. We had talked on the phone but I didn't think much and I was nervous because I had never met her. It was the first time I had ever had a girl mess with me or whatever. I told her that she just grabbed it or whatever but it was a little more than that. I am still and virgin but I can't get over not telling the whole truth. I don't want things to change between us because of this or anything that's why I'm afraid to tell. ( it's in the past and it was before we met but I dunno I think about it everyday and I regret lieing but I'm scared to tell the truth) I worry about it a lot. Please Help

And everyday you do develop some sort of emotional attachment to each one but only insofar as it helps you get off and finish for the day.

Does anybody else get this?

Occasionaly, you might recall an event that now makes you cringe. You think to yourself 'Oh God, what an idiot I was then'. It might concern something like, when you got caught talking about somebody who was standing behind you. You're justified to cringe on recalling the occasion.

However, for the past few months, I've found myself recalling events from the past where nothing in particular happened. Eg. I remember walking through the airport on my way to Greece. (no big deal). But, I think of these things and then think 'God, what an idiot I was', sometimes followed by swear words of self criticism. It's becoming so bad now that when I'm on my own, the thoughts/abuse become spoken. I have tried telling myself to 'Nevermind - ignore it' - but it's not making any difference.

I don't think it's related to Tourettes - as I've researched it and the symptoms do not fit.

Why do I beat myself up without reason?

Don't get me wrong. I don't claim to be a paragon of virtue, and I've done some things I'm not proud of. However, I work with a young woman who often flirts with male customers and coworkers, even if she knows they're married. She was even caught making out with one of her coworkers in the break area! I just wonder, though, what would cause someone to act like that. Does anyone here have any insight?

I was encouraged by my GP to reduce the dosage, 1 every other day for a cuople of weeks, then 1 every third day then i should be ok to stop. Been feeling all out of sorts for two weeks GP says i am not ready so should go back on them. I think maybe the weaning was not slow enough. Any info could help me decide what to do. I dont want to be on the stuff forever.

I'm a packrat! I don't think I'm a hoarder; ( that might be a more serious condition!) I like to think of myself as a collector! However, I sometimes get overwhelmed by my sentimentality and attachment to certain items. I save old magazines, ( I'm going to read them all someday!) I have lots of old clothes ( when I get skinnier, I'm going to wear them all someday!) I have lots of taped VCR movies,( I'm going to sit down and watch them someday!) I love pillows, ( they're here and there, and everywhere!) You get the picture! Whatever I save, I have tons of it!
What unusual things do you "collect"? And do you have a hard time throwing some of this stuff out? For me, there's always a reason I have to keep it! What makes us packrats do this? is there a cure?
My house is clean, I'm very clever at hiding the stuff! ;~)

I have been having pressure feeling in my chest,and it feels as though i can't take a deep breath. Doctor has done lung test and chest x-ray and nothing so he refered me to someone and i was given Zoloft. Has anyone taken this? My sister and mother both suffer from panic attacks and take clonopine, they have taken these and say they had a bad reaction. Any info on this as well as clonopine if you have taked both would be great. I am nervous to take it.

Thanks
