Due to work pressure, I start losing sleep a month ago. At once, I didn't even eat well. My project is due in four months and I am already nervous about the deliverables. My mind is thinking about works when I am on the bed, walking, and eating. I am no longer focus while I am at work or others are talking. I don't laugh like I used to. Someone out there who has similar experience, tell me if this could become a serious illness?

Like I remember learning about this, I person goes into stages before they actually commit suicide. They first ponder the idea, you know, explore it objectively. Ect ect. What are they? I cant seem to remember.

I feel like I'm so shy (terrified of social interaction, will cancel plans...avoid plans...etc) and people around me just don't validate that social anxiety is a huge problem. It's a major phobia. There's a reason I'm a hermit so much ... and it's not by choice. I would love to be able to be active. There has to be a way (besides therapy) to cure this torment?

I've not had my blood checked in three months. I've been having tremors for a couple weeks. Last night I started feeling nausious. Today I felt like throwing up. Nothing came, but I started drinking water and felt a bit better. Yet I've felt quite weak all day. Not hungry. I took myself down to 900mg from 1200mg, also. I also take Effexor and Xanax.

I'm 29, male, and I was diagnosed this year. But I have battled serious depression for years. The hypomania I never noticed, but in hindsight it makes sense with all my artistic endeavors. I recently crashed down and couldn't function. So I had to move back home with my folks. I'm doing better on Lithium, but I feel that I have lost all motivation, ambition, and social interaction. Not sure where to go from here. I work part time, teach classes at colleges here. Where do I go from here?

So dumb. My neighbor is a Scientologist and told me to quit my ADD meds, she says that diet and exercise and of course giving her little cult hundreds of dollars will cure me. I have tried everything under the sun, diet, exercise and they have improved my condition slightly, but overall medicine and therapy are huge in my treatment.

Why do these cult members who have no experience with ADHD ranting about it? I wonder why L Ron Hubbards son committed suicide.

I used to have a problem with cutting myself. I went through some very hard experiences, and iI resorted to cutting. It helped me so much, but people started finding out, and I felt so stupid for doing it. It helped me get through it SO much.

I haven't done it in about 5 months. It has been so hard for me to not do it. At first, I did it for the reason of it stopped me from thinking about what happend. Now, whenever I get stressed out, or I just can't thing about what's going on anymore, cutting myself is the first thing I want to do. I truly dont know what to do. I know its not good to do it, but it helps me SOOO much.

I was on medication for it, but I ran out, and its going to be about 5 weeks before I can get the Rx refilled.

Why do I always want to cut myself, and why is it so bad if I do it? I'm not killing myself. I really don't know what to do anymore :'(

I get jealous over everything. I always feel like everyone has it better off than I do. Whether its with relationships, material possesions, you name it. I always feel like I cannot compete on the same level as most people. Is this a sign of low self esteem or depression?

I know depression can be so bad that it will have a profound effect on what you do. I recently moved to PA for medical school, and things just aren't good here. None of my friends from back home have attempted to contact me much, aside from an instant message here or there. There's also so much pressure for me to succeed in medical school from my family and it's really hard (I'm struggling to pass). Also, I'm very shy...so I don't really have friends here, just some people I talk to occassionally. I know people usually just say break out of your shell, but it's so hard for me... I just seem to always be thinking about home, and it deters me from what I normally would be doing. Sometimes I just lay down and cry. Would this be considered depression or a lesser form of it? (I'm def. not suicidal or anything). By the way, this is a nice site...let's you ask questions anonymously. Thanks people.

I really do, I'm not scared and I'm not telling anybody ouside of this black box... I'm sick of feeling this crazy way over her... Being in love will take you straight to hell, it can go that far... I'm not a bad human' I don't know how this happened, this is outrageous... She's very confused, dazed and out of sorts... Not a darn thing I can do about the drug addicted, drug dealer lover, she has turned in to... That's where you come in, how?, I still love only her, but she's doing things to make me hate her... If she keeps this up, she won't make it... I can't take this... I want to help her, I don't just want to move on and leave her in that hole, she's dug... Seems she's simply over me... I don't live life like that... What would love have me do, for its own sake???

I used to self harm frequently, but now i find myself doing it when im realy depressed (im bipolar). however, to substitute the cutting, i snap myself with rubberbands. For the past 2 days though, while in school, the rubberbands either snaped or got taken away from me. What should i do cause the main reason i used to cut alot was school.

I think my wife is drowning herself to fill her empty stomach. I know she has an eating problem I'm trying to get help with. Is it common for someone to choke down water through this way?

I have ADD (NOT ADHD, I'm not hyper at all). What works the best to keep you from making stupid mistakes at work, and helps you concentrate on the road?

Also, can you still drink with these meds? I don't get wasted every night or anything, but I do like to drink on the weekends. Will this cause a problem? What meds work with moderate drinking?

I wake up tired. Sleeping doesn't seem to help. I've taken caffeine pills and other doctor prescribed stimulants but they don't help.

I'm in an instense law school situation which constantly makes you doubt yourself, feel stressed confused and somewhat in all honesty depressed due to the 60-70 hour work week and competition amongst students. My question is, can anyone suggest how to find your confidence again in spite of being in a stressful situation? How do you pick yourself up and dust yourself off everyday?
