Why do I get so easily offended? Why am I so sensitive? I mean when somebody even jokes around negatively towards me I get upset and my mood lever drops. When somebody gaves me a weird look I already get really offended. When even little kids playfully will say something to me I get really pissed off at them and start to say something back.When I start with someone new people conversation and I disagree with them I try to put them down because I think they putting down by not agreeing. I think everybody is trying to offend me some how and it makes me really angry and negative.What is wrong with me .Could this be due to me having social anxiety and depression?

I AM TELLING THE TRUTH. I HAVE NEVER MASTURBATED BEFORE I STARTED DAILY LAST WEEK. I AM 16 YEARS OLD AND HEALTHY. MASTURBATION MAKES YOU PARIONIOD, STRESSED, GIVES YOU LOW CONFIDENCE AND BAD CONCENTRATION. I MISSED SCHOOL TODAY BECAUSE I GOT SO PARIONIOD THAT PEOPLE WHERE STARING IN DISGUST AT A SPOT ON MY NOSE WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING. I ALSO CANNOT SOCIALISE WITH MY FRIENDS PROPERLY AND HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION, ALL I CAN DO IS ASK QUESTIONS AS I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY, I CANNOT SPEAK TO STRANGERS FROM MY SCHOOL EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT THEY ARE NICE PEOPLE I CAN GET ALONG WITH. I CANNOT CONCENTRATE ON MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES MAXIUM. I AM CERTAIN THAT MASTURBATION HAS CAUSED THESE PROBLEMS BECAUSE I NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE HEAVILY AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS ME. IN MY OPINION I THINK THAT MASTURBATION IS HEALTHY FOR MOST BUT NOT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME. IF YOU HAVE THESE PROBLEMS THEN IT IS NOT FOR YOU.

They are always horrible, graphic and terrifying. ( I've woken up crying.) I just got a new dog and I feel safe with him, but as soon as I go to sleep- .. Well, he's not there to protect me.

My nightmares are neve reoccuring and they are always with different things that scare me.

Are there any teas or vitamins that would help me mellow out?
(becasue therapy is out of my budget,)

I think I may have some stress becasue my hubby just got a job transfer to a new city - and I' still adjusting to out home and life..

any ideas?

I feel like I'm angry but I can't do anything about it. I end up doing stuff to myself, like chopping my hair off, cutting or burning myself, making myself throw up, because I hate myself.

If you look at the question "no energy" youll know my symptoms, but let me say more since those answeres are not helping. I am 23, a Respiratory Therapist/Sleep Tech so I know it is not a sleeping problem. I exercise regularly, and eat well. I am not on any medications to make me drowsey either. Some of my other symptoms are I cannnot concentrate on one thing for too long, I have racing thoughts(thinking many things at one time and jump from one thought to the next w/o finishing the first). Now does any one have any thoughts what it could be.

It would take days for anyone to find me, probably until people could smell rotting flesh when they walked past my room, and even then it would be a while before anyone thought it was worth looking into any more than just that the hall smells kind of funny. Sure I wouldn't be showing up to class, but no one would think anything of it - people miss class all the time because they're sick or stuff or just don't feel like going. And I've managed to isolate myself so completely that no one would think anything of it if they didn't see me for days. Is that bad?

I am going through so much stress in my life and I have nobody to talk to and I am afraid that one of these times it might get out of hand and I am afraid of doing something stupid, like hurting myself. I have every reason to believe that I have severe depression but I have no insurance and I have no way of getting it due to the fact that I have a part time job in a town of 400 and i have no vehicle so i can get a better job and the state won't give me any help. Is there any way that I can talk to a person to help me for free on line or do you know a way in the state of wisconsin to get help in this situtation? Please I am desperate!!!

I don't mean that metaphorically or anything, I mean like it literally feels like something's squeezing your chest and every breath takes a lot of physical effort. It seems like I only feel like that at the same time that I feel like I want to die, and I'm wondering if it's cause the same thing or if it's its own thing I should be worrying about.

Hi,

I have just come to the realization that I am a compulsive liar. I can't stop myself. I can't seem to find any help online (tactics or information). It is destroying my life - my wife has seperated from me for it. And on the eve of reconcilation, I blatenly did it again.
WHY?
Any suggestions, links, or ideas would be appreciated.

I think it's fun to dream, or even get nightmares (I guess it's kind of weird, but it's like being in a movie for me). So does anyone have any personal experience with getting dreams after eating certain foods, or do you know of anything that will increase your chances of having dreams at all? I'm serious!

I am 20 now and I live about 2 hours away from my mom. My mom has lived a really rough life when she was growing up. She has been married 4 times to all verbally abusive men. I got out while I could and moved in with my grandma at 15. When I was in 6th grd. my mom went through a manic pshycotic break down. She started talking all crazy and she was all parinoid thinking that people were after her. We had to admit her into the hospital and she was diagnosed with Bipolor disorder. My brother and sister were too younge to understand what was going on with our mom but I felt like I had to change roles and help her. My mom eventually got better after being on meds. Since then my mom has had a total of 7 break downs. We dont know what causes them. She is now going through a break down. For an example of things she says: Nazis are after all of us, she has cancer, she talks to dead people. She thinks she is being followed. What can I do? I live so far from her and my sister is so scared.

I was sexually abused as a child by a 12 year old cousin, 30 years later I have confronted them and they have no recollection but are sorry for any pain they may have caused. Is is possible to repress those memories? I thought typically the abused would repress the memories?
