My sisters fiance just got back from Iraq and is having problems with flashbacks from the war. It's hard for him to cope with these feelings of seeing fellow soldiers of his killed right next to him during missions. So now that he is back he is drinking heavely and is in really bad depression. My sister doesn't know where to go or who to contact for help. Should she send him to a psychiatrist? Any help will be greatly needed. Thanks

Sometimes I will just feel like I'm watching everything from far away and nothing is real and I feel numb and unaware. I barely notice things around me and when I do its in a weird, separated way like "There's my dad" "Stand up" "Walk" "Say goodbye to friend"
I dont know why this happens exactly but its scary because while its happening I feel very lost and alone and like I dont care about anything, not even my own life. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

I take Geodon for manic depression. The problem is that I can't sleep for a second without it. But Geodon does not cause sedation. Actually one of the side effects is insomnia. Still, I need Geodon to sleep. Why?

Ok, you know how little kids do crazy sexual things when they are young. Well, i thought i raped another kid when i was a kid but everyone tells me it's not rape because i was a kid and you know how that goes. Anyways, some people said i should go to a rape support group just to prove to myself it wasn't rape. Well, last night i was thinking and stuff and thoughts were going through my head about rape or doing stuff against someone's will and i thought of myself doing that to people and my own boyfriend! I would never rape someone and it's not like i actually want to think about it. crazy stuff pops in my head and everyone also tells me everyone has crazy thoughts but they just let them go and think nothing of them. How can i make myself think nothing of them? oh and sometimes i get thoughts like oh this will make him mad so im gonna do it but its for a sec. i don't wanna make him mad i love him. I'm going to counseling but i wanted advice before i go on how to deal with it til then.

IN my mind everytime I screw up by just a little bit there is a voice that tottaly seems to hate me. I know it sounds weird, but it actually sounds like nothing but me. The thing is that it comes ] on its own three seconds later. I don't if I'm causing it or if I really do have something wrong with me.I know it can't be my concionsce because this voice seems to be something that doesn't like me. I don't hate myself at all, I'm just really getting sick of feeling like something bad is happening.
It all started when OK well it's a long story. About two months ago I was a health freak and was scared of getting sick, so one day my thorat starting hurting and it freaked me out so much. The doctors said that I was fine but I thought that I had something really bad. That lasted for like half a month. One day at my aunts house I was searching the internet for what I might have. One one website there was this depression test and I decided to take. It said I was mildly. I know that I'm not.

My wife & I are separated, have been since June. Our home burned (Rental House) in March of 2006, we were broke and I had been depressed since 2002 I had taken out a rental policy & with all of my genious in me decided I would solve our problems! I couldn't take the secret anymore so I turned myself in I was charged with arson/ins fraud. I have a very good Attorney who says due to not ever having any past offences not even a speeding ticket I would in all likelihood get probation w/ restitution. Ok, my wife like I said and I are separated, but she didnt leave me due to the fire. I had a breakdown while she was in Indiana at a family reunion so I have therapy now and take meds, & have started going back to school. Should she have stayed with me or should I just move on without her? I'm very sorry for what I did and will be paying alot of restitution. I know this is a long drawed out post, just needed I gues to vent. I still love her but she just treats me like crap.

I have asperger's syndrome and I've been taking a drug called Seroquel for 5/6 years. I'm also taking Zoloft 100mg and Adderall 30mg (both in the morning along with Seroquel). I've just read and asked the manufacturers who handle seroquel that there seems to be an amnesia side effect. Is there any other medication out there that can treat bipolar and insomnia problems and won't have any bad reaction with zoloft and adderall?

I get mad pretty easily and I might be laughing in a minute. When I get mad at people, sometimes I think about hurting people and then I regret thinking about that. My parents tell em I have a lot of mood changes, but I don't know if that's just because I'm 14 or not. I would never hurt someone, but I think about that. People I know always tell me I get mad easily. I know my dad has a temper, but he has never hurt me or anyone else.

My 14 y/old son is very easily startled. If a teacher calls on him in school , he jumps sky high. Even caling his name softly scares the fertilizer out of him. His mom and I are recently divorced, and she took off for upstate NY so he only sees her 4 times a year.
Any thoughts? Thanx
