I think about suicide a lot. I don't actually want to kill myself, but I always think about what it would be like, and that maybe it's the best thing for me to do. But I swear I would never actually go through with it. I've tried talking to a psychologist very recently, but she told me last week that I was fine.

I also suffer from severe anxiety and depression.

How can we help him deal with his emotions? The poor guy was only 39 & had his whole life in front of him. His motorcycle hit a truck in front of a halloween party they were having and my FIL kept his pulse for a full 3 minutes before the man passed. Now he won't talk to anybody, sleep, and he just kind of draws a blank at work. Should we just leave him alone.. counceling isn't really an option

All my friends say I'm negative. They say I complain alot, critisize people and ask way to many questions. I'm glad that they're honest with me and I don't want answers like "Get new friends" or anything cause even my homeroom teacher says I'm negative. I really do complain alot (i.e. I'm so cold, I have a headache) I really don't think I'm negative but one time my Ex and I were in a fight and he told me to go see a shrink because I'm so Sad and angry all the time. As for critisizing people I'm a fashion addicttttt! I always see stuff like a classmate's belt is twisted or something and then It will really bug me until the problem is fixed. So i tell them about it, not meanly or anything i just say "your belt is twisted" or something plain like that. Also I cry alot like in the middle of the night I'll wake up and feel so bad and then I'll think of my cousin who drowned or my Ex.........Am I normal or should I go see someone about this?

I've been good friends with a great guy for like a year and a half, he calls me his sister. Recently I've found myself thinking of him more than a brother. (He's never showed any romantic interest.) i just started seeing someone and i told my friend about my new relationship. Well my friend says he wants to meet my boyfriend and all that. Well thursday my friend calls me and says let me take you to lunch, he's never done that. When I show up he's in his boxers and then while he's getting dressed in front of me he says, does your new boyfriend take you to lunch like i'm doing, do you really like him. i said, well he likes my daughter that's what matters. he said, i like your daughter too, and i'm not your boyfriend. does he like me, or what. what do you think? thankyou

I suffer from memory loss very badly. It's so severe, it's hard for me to pay attention in conversations. If a lot of information is thrown at me at once, I won't be able to remember it all. When I'm given directions to do something, I just think to myself, oh you better not mess this one up. I constantly say, "what was I just talking about?" "Why did I come in here?" and of course, I'm constantly misplacing things. If asked how my weekend was, I won't even remember what I did two days ago. I have to really concentrate for anything to come back to me. I don't remember always being so forgetful. In fact, my memory use to be very good. I'm 28, healthy, not depressed, educated. I've been feeling that I may just be 'dumb' and that's why I can't remember, but I hope there's a better answer out there.

I have a son who is doing his Ph.D. in the US. He is taking the mood stabilization drug sodium valporate prescribed by an Indian Doctor and continued by another Nepali, mental doctor. He is highly intelligent and can apply himself very intensely to anything, has a history of mild drug addiction and very vulnerable to addiction of any kind. I am here in Nepal and always worried about his mental frame. Right now he seems quite happy and stable, but a slightest disturbance can upset him. The doctor who was treating him here advised him to carry along the medicine for at least 6 months and consult a doctor and if you feel fine can quit the midicine. I would like to know what are the chances of relapse once he gets completely alright and quits the drug?

I am 25 years old and have been considering seeing a therapist. I am not depressed or anything like that. I just often get these feelings that I don't like things about myself. Like certain personality traits or the way I handle things. I don't like my confidence level or how Im so affraid to do some things. I know I would get by just fine in life without one, but maybe it could help my self image. Is this a good enough reason to see a therapist or willl they think Im crazy for going to them since I don't have any "serious" issues?

I haven't had anything really bad happen to me but sometimes I'll get so mad at myself for something, or feel so stupid, and then I'll cut myself, sometimes lots of times in a row, and I do that almost every day now. And all the time I hear about people who cut themselves because they were abused as a child, or something else really bad happened, and I feel like I don't have any right to cut myself and it's not fair to people who have really suffered that I do it and like I'm just faking it. And that just makes me hate myself even more and want to hurt myself even more. And I guess I was just wondering if anyone else ever feels guilty for feeling really bad about something that should be no big deal compared to what other people have to deal with.

I am 21 years old and my parents are divorced. I got kicked out of my house at 18 and was homeless. My girlfriend took me in and now we have split up. So now I am homeless and have nobody at all. I have been dianosed with OCD, when I was younger. But lately I have been really depressed. I have been to the hospital fot cutting myself once. I have thoughts that I wish I would die (I dont want to kill myself), just thoughts of not living. I am not on drugs nor do I drink. I am just really depressed. But sometimes I get so depressed I get zoned out and dont know whats going on. I get kinda dislutional. Also I have thoughts of cutting myself again. I am a nice guy and look just like everyone else. I have been to get help 3 times and they tell me each time that in time I will be better. But that was 3 months ago. I was wondering if I have something major or if it is just a real bad state of depression? Any advice on how to get better. Note, I have already been for help. Please help.PRAY
