I considering taking Ritalin, to help improve my focus. I'm in college and would like to use it to get the most of my studying time. Do I need a prescription for it, or can I purchase it off the Internet.

If you had any experience with this drug or others like it can you give me some information please. Or if you taken something called No Doze let me know.

If you don't think Ritalin would be a good idea, can you suggest another drug that could be used to help me focus and concentrate more.

I'm a self injurer... and I talked to one of my friends about it ( BIG mistake, I know...) and now he won't stop calling me a "sadomasochist head"...... so... does being a self injurer make you a sadomasochist??

Genuine question. Not designed to inflame or offend. I don't have a lot of experience with the condition, but I wonder about this every time it gets exposure in the media.

Is there a genuine psychological reason why tourettes sufferers only use swear words in their outbursts?
Or have I got it completely wrong?
Could it be that there are just as many people with tourettes who shout out non-swear words and noises, and the media only portrays the sweary ones to gain a *shock factor*?

It appears to me from my sparse observations that sufferers of this condition experience a build up of pressure or tension, which they struggle to contain.
Then suddenly, like an elastic that has been stretched too far, they snap, and out comes a sudden vocal explosion.
I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating it must be to have this condition.

I've just read a question where a person's teenage sister is hearing voices. she could be mentally ill, she could be stressed, she could be attention seeking. Who knows?

But my real question is about some of the answers, people seem to think that she has been taken over by the devil or their answer is to pray for her.

Really!?!? Do people honestly believe that? If my arm drops off, are there really people out there who think the best advice is to pray, no go to a hospital, not see a doctor, but to pray!!!

No wonder the world is in such a state if its populated by such illiterate, uneducated whackjobs!

This is not a dig at religion, so please don't inundate me with, i'm going to hell because i'm anti-religion etc etc responses.

This is an honest question about the state of some people's minds and the worrying responses they give, for goodness sakes, some of these people are probably parents, what do they do if their child is sick or scared, tell them to pray.....!!!!!!

If someone on here is a psychologist or counselor of some type. please let me know so maybe i can send you a sample of one of his writings through individual email through the yahoo system. They are very bizarre yet cleverley written. My friend who just graduated from school told me that the writings sound that he is "schizophrenic". He posts these entries on a public website so other people can see them. If i could get another opionion from someone that would be great. only respond to this if you are serious. I don't want stupid responses becausei know that happens a lot on here.

I have like 2 sides to me. I'm very aggresive and easily pissed of and i really dont like people. But I'm also really kind and caring and love to just lay in a field or go and sit in the woods and go to a pond or river. I have really high self esteem but its also really low at the same time. I can be really depressed.

The reason why I ask, is because when people have problems in life, & come to me, I try to understand their situation fully so I can truly give my best advice to them. I think the best way to truly communicate your ideas to someone, is to really understand them first. But I see that many people don't do this.

When one feels they should kill themselves, people usually get angry at them, & don't try to understand them at all.

They say thing like, "your crazy, get lost", or "your a stupid coward, pathetic", but they don't offer any real help, they only bash them.

Maybe they do this out of fear of dealing with something bad in their own life that they avoided to face, because by facing it, they would have to briefly question suicide themselves because some problems are that difficult to figure out. They're reminded of they're own pain because of these people?

Or maybe it's the arrogant, "I overcame my problems, so your dumb if you don't know how overcome yours?"

Thoughts?
