I suffer from depression and I have for years. I am an alcoholic, but in the last 5 months I have been keeping my drinking in check. I would like to not ever have a drink again, but I really do not know how to embrace sobriety to the fullest. I still find the need to have a few beers when I start feeling depression. It happens at night before bed time. I don't drink for the sake of just having a few beers, I drink to allieviate the depression a wee bit. My depression is not in the furthest depths of the abyss, but it's enough to be in a very dark world the moment my depression starts. I know drinking a few to ease the pain is not the answer, but I really don't know how to quit once and for all. I am 27 and this has been on and off for about 6 yrs. I want to evolve on a better plane, but my matter is a fork in the road.

This is a drug that help you study and focus better correct? Is it hard to get a prescription for it from your family doctor? Is it wrong to use it to study better and preform more effectively in college? What are the potential side effects of taking it? Are there alternate drugs that I can take to focus and study better?

Having read up on it l was quite amazed on how many symptoms are true to me. I cut myself often usually over healed scars to the point l cut my arm red raw. I know this is not normal, but l can't stop. I think l may have an addiction to cutting. No one understands this and just yell at me, this can't be the answer.

If someone has a mental health problem the last thing they want to hear is "Jump off a 10 storey building" or "Get off your lazy backside" etc.

I often cuss and scream at people in my car, but I don't use my middle finger. So when I pass the offensive car in a fit of rage, I look like I'm screaming. Is this wrong?

I have felt depressed / 'down' for 6 years, ever since i got into a bad relationship with a 'bad boy' when i was 16. He used to threaten me, push me around, he almost raped me..
Alot of other stuff happened, and it has affected me.
I have no self esteem, i just hate myself and how weak i am.

My old doctors gave me 70mg i think it was, of efexor.
This was the most effective drug i was on.

Now i have a new doctor. I recently tried to kill myself, i self harm and i am literally a mass of scars. I burst out crying at the most inappropriate times and i cant explain why. One second i can be laughing, i feel hyper, i feel happy, then without warning i want to die & i can be harming myself.

My new doctors think i'm not depressed, as i 'seemed happym enough' when i went in. I'm not happy with this diagnosis, i wish i could put a name to what i have, ykno?
She has put me on 10mg of tabelts i cant remember the name but they are doing NOTHING.

I dont know what to do...

I hear that I'm pretty and beautiful a lot, but I have a hard time believing anyone that says that to me. I know I'm not ugly, but every time I look in a mirror, I can only see my flaws. I'm tired of being so hard on myself, but I don't know how to change it... Any suggestions to boost my self-esteem??

My mother was prescribed this (25mg) for Anxiety. She is an alcoholic.(a case of beer daily) Her doctor is well aware that she is an alcoholic. This medicine makes her extremely drowsy. She acts like she's wasted. (not because she drinks beer--she's been an alcoholic for 30 years--the beer just keeps her steady all day-not totally drunk) But when she takes this its like she's been drinking liqour all day long or something. Not to mention she isnt herself. She feels fine one minute then the next-she's throwing a huge fit. She gets mad at everyone--in her personal life or with people in public. What's up with this? Today was a horrible day--she went to her Dr. and said she is tired of life, etc. and the Dr. prescribed her Prozac!! Both of these meds say you should NOT drink alcohol while taking them. I plan on calling her Dr tomorrow to share all of this with her--but i just want to hear from other people. What was your experience???

im serious. its so hard for me to immagine thet a man has any emotions at all. it seems like its so easy to be a guy, how could a human being who has it so easy be affected by anything at all? it seems like a guy cares only for himself, never realy going to any real effort to please others. maybe its just the ones im around, im not trying to be offensive.
