I've been uptight almost my whole life. Now I'll be 19 soon and I don't want to start off being a "grown up" all uptight. Has anyone else gotten through this? It's terrible! There's this thing that I feel in the back of my head (I call it my acorn) that a doctor says could be brought on by stress. Does anyone know about this feeling? Help!

Within the past year, my dad passed away, my husband underwent surgery for prostate cancer, I had lung cancer surgery this past May and my mom passed away last month. I called my family doctor requesting something to help me get along and they said I would have to come in. I don't like to cry in front of family and I couldn't even hold it together long enough on the phone to explain why I was calling. My sister gave me some of her Ativan but I don't think it is helping me. I really don't want to go to the doctor's office and break down when he asks me, "what's going on". I've decided to look into natural remedies for depression, anxiety, the blues and whatever else you want to call it. Any advice/information would be greatly appreciated.

Ok here's the thing I have 18 teeth left in my mouth, I could never afford insurance until now, my mom when I was younger could never afford insurance for me. So to say my teeth are really bad. I have cavities on all my teeth and I brush and floss regularly and use mouth wash. Some say it's genetics. But I am so scared to get all my teeth pulled and to get dentures, I am only 27. I am affriad that my self estem will go down, but I know that I will be able to smile again. Has anyone gone through this before and if so what did you do to boost your confidence up agian.

I feel so angry all the time. Not so bad that I feel like I'm going to hurt somebody, but I just feel angry inside so often. Sometimes I can't even sleep because of it. Sometimes I say things I don't mean. What can I do?

What is it like for a child to grow up in a violent home?

Chaos: The children may never know what to expect at home. Their
parents' mood can change instantly from loving to enraged.

Fear and tension: The daily anger and violence create a living
nightmare for the children. They may grow up being afraid of
everything and trusting no one.

Danger: Often, the children are the intended victim of one or both
parents. Other times, they get caught in the middle and are hurt or
killed by accident.

Confusion: The children often receive mixed messages. For example:
at school they learn hitting is wrong, at home they learn that
hitting is used to "solve" problems.

Isolation: Often, an abusive parent shuts off the family from the
outside world. And the children may withdraw from their peers and
other adults too.

Hopelessness: The children often blame themselves for the violence
but they feel powerless to prevent, stop or escape from it.

Love/Hate Relationship: They may feel protective of an abused
parent. But they may also resent him or her for not stopping the
abuse. Sometimes the children may feel close to the abuser.
Other times, they may hope he or she goes away or dies. They may
feel guilty for not being able to rescue the family or for loving
someone who is abusive.

I'm not looking for an answer from a dictionary. But instead I want to know what it means to you. Someone who is diagnosed as mentally challenged? or a stupid person? Because I for one, think they have nothing in common.

Fore example, would a retarded person know it, rather they are mildly retarded or severe, autistic, etc?

I am thinking the movie Forrest Gump.

I've made a lot of improvements from childhood and high school, but it just seems too little too late. for instance, everyone else is already doing internships and I'm struggling just to get a part time job that teenagers would do because I don't have any experience from high school. I regret that I didn't try to improve when I was younger because having a social life just happened automatically back then. Now I have to start from scratch, since when you're older everyone has their own agendas and it's up to you to make things happen. It's also hard to meet people because how am I supposed to find things to talk about when I've been doing nothing the past few years. Right now it's more like I'm trapped by my circumstances even though I don't consider myself shy anymore.

My mother came down with dementia some time 4-5 years ago. I still don't know for sure what had caused it. My late grandmother never had it. I have heard on the news that women that take estrogen pills risk having dementia in their future lifetimes. My mother used to take these pills for her "hot flashes". Coincidence? Those pills took my mother's soul away!

I've been on Zoloft 50 mg for a year now, and up till lately it's been pretty effective. Lately the depression seems to be back, along with this overall achey feeling. Cymbalta supposedly works on physical symptoms of depression. Anyone have any experience with it?

Most people contemplate suicide out of depression or fear or some extreme emotional condition. But what if someone wasn't being emotional, wasn't suffering any clinical or medical condition, and had simply spent a long time (months) evaluating the benefits and disadvantages, eventually reaching the conclusion that suicide was the most logical rational choice. Someone asked me this question the other day, and I didn’t have a ready answer. So, I'm wondering what others think.

Are there situations where it can all come down to a cost-benefit analysis, like any other personal or business decision? Can suicide ever be considered a rational logical decision?
