I'm a kinda busy teen...extra curicular and school. But it still seems that a have a bunch time left. I spend way to much time on the computer. Each computer session I have is usually 2 hours. And I usually have 3 internet sessions a day. I tried many times to break the addiction and it worked for a few weeks, but I relasped and I go on the internet everyday. I try to occupy myself with other things but I'm addicted to youtube, yahoo answers, and google. Also when I'm not on the computer I'm usually watching tv or exercsising...usually tv. I really want to elimate computer as a part of my life...but I get all my information on it. Can someone please help me solve this problem for good (not just a temporary answer)? PS I'm introverted but not anti social so I like to things by myself...no matter what experience I have.

Hey guys, I have a close buddy of mine and we are both in our 20's. He is quiet and a very nice person and is a funny guy. But latley he seems to be contemplating life and everything and how society works. He is also alot more mellowed out.
He will watch tv and sometimes say things like "Thats sad how materialistic our society is and how it brainwashes people into being like everyone else." He also says "Those people on the ads use pretty women just to get their product they dont care about the person buying it at all, what a crappy world".
I agree with him but it seems to really bother him for some reason.Then he will watch a movie and say something like "That is gonna be me, I will get killed and left somewhere and no one will care just like that guy who just got murdered on the movie". That really bothers me, I mean its just a movie right? Latley he seems peaceful, calm and it sorta bothers me. I found alot of near death experience sites on bookmarks on his browser. Should I wory

I feel completely lost right now, I'm so confused and I don't know what I really want. I'm not happy in my job (I'm a junior doctor), but I only started a few months ago and I've studied at university for 6 years to get to where I am right now. I find it really stressful and overwhelming, I feel out of my depth and I'm plagued with doubts about my ability to do the job well. I feel very isolated, I suffer from social anxiety and find it difficult to make friends, and none of my old "friends" seem too bothered about keeping in touch with me. I just feel very lonely and scared all the time, and I don't know what to do to improve the situation.

Any advice would be appreciated. And please don't tell me to quit my job, that's not an option.

I've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, clinical depression, and anxiety. I'm functional in the sense that I pay my bills on time, have a Master's degree, am in a relationship, and have a career. However, my moods are erratic, I'm often depressed, and procrastination has ruined aspects of my life. I've been to three different types of therapists in the past 12 years for different lenths of time... and I have been medicated with prozac, lexapro, xanax, buspar, wellbutrin, and currently, effexor. Low and high doses have been administered, but I continue to be depressed and very moody. I've also taken St.Johns Wort for a few months, but that didn't work either. I continue to lay in bed for hours after work, or overeat (constantly gaining and losing the same 50 pounds). These are just a couple of ways my depression shows itself. I've been on numerous web sites about different psychological disorders, and read my share of self help books. Don't know what to do.

I am trying to get an answer to this problem from everyday people. If you know of someone else can you tell me about it. There is debate about wether it is real or not. I really want to know how many others out there have had no symptoms before being affected this way by cannabis use. If there was anything else that affected it please tell me also.

Scenario: Daughter's bf has disassociative disorder; I babysit the two boys ages under five years while they work and for no pay. If I get or ever got paid, little amount times long interval; goes back to kids. He displayed manic period, abuse toward me! Inside and outside, duration about 30 minutes. I refuse to be around him. He is threatening terrorism, unlawful restraint, and me doing hostage by not comming to fence and giving him kids. My husband does it; he mentioned if he was not around to do/ the results would be the above..I want to get a PFA (verbal and emotional abuse). I would never hurt the kids. Manic episodes are getting closer together. Then he complains that people do not want around him; his actions are moronic but displays periods of intelligence when on a high. I am disgusted with whole picture. Pros and Cons please...If he does above will police even question me? How does an individual handle maniacs?

i'm sick of wasting my days suffering from hangovers but my whole social life revolves around drinking. I have tried to go out and not drink but failed as i don't want to appear to be a kill joy or just stand by and watch everyone else have a good time. I wish i could just give it up for a month so i can experience the health benefits and get relief from the awful anxiety it gives me. However when it comes to the crunch i always start drinking because its so sociable and makes me happy and relaxed

i really wish i wasnt true but i have to accept that i am. I know its SAD (social anxiety disorder). For some reason i cant make eye contact with anyone and for some reason in class i tend to cover my face because i feel like everyones looking at me. I also feel like im losing facial expression and that its kinda hard for me to make a normal face. i wasnt like this last school year and i fear im changing. i felt so nervous in the lunch the first day of school. and i dont know why. Im a pretty good looking guy so people do look at me quite alot and that makes it worse. i wish i could be normal again. i hate being nervous like everyday because i can never enjoy myself like i used to.

Can paranoid schizophrenia be detected by a doctor just by talking to a patient without being told about history and other symptoms of the patient. If no, can you suggest some books referencing this.

Sometimes I hate my sister so much that I wish I was an only child. She makes me feel so bad about things that I've said or done, but she does the same things and I don't give her grief about it? I just can't stand her. I wish I could just block her out of my life!!!

is a form of therapy? I think it is, because in a way helping others is helping yourself. Anyone else feel the same way?

Hi

For years I have been obsessed with a girl. I keep thinking of her all the time and I need to forget her and get on with my life. I tried to get involved with other girls but she simply keeps popping up in my mind and then I lose interest in my girlfriend.

How do I forget this girl ? Could this be a psychiatric disorder ?
