My husband sleeps sometimes 15 hours a day. I know he is schizophrnic and he faithfully takes his zyprexa every day. But he sleeps so much and I am worried. Is this normal should I encourage him to tell his doctor. I miss him if you know what I mean. I too suffer from a mental illness but I am doing fairly well and make myself get up and find something productive to do any suggestions to help hubby

I have very low self-esteem. nothing seems to work out right. everyone treats me like **** no matter how much i go out of their way... i hate living this way... i hate having recurring thoughts of death and suicide... i hate feeling this... got any ideas about how i can make this go away?

and trust me ... just thinking about my positive points doesnt help... as far as im concerned, i dont have any!! not even one! when people complement me, i think they're lying or being sarcastic or just making fun of me ... i feel that no one loves me ... everyone looks down on me ... i know i have a certain amount of potential in life, but my mind is keeping me from doing those things ... i am depressed and i don't see an end to this ...

i'm desperate for help. psychiatrists don't really help... they just rake money and i cant afford to have anyone rake $$ off me ...

I've been thinking about a situation that I cannot change and the thoughts are just going round and round my head making me feel sad.

As it's not anything that I can change, or any kind of major problem, how can I stop thinking about it?

It's easy just to say 'stop' but the thoughts just keep popping back.

Any ideas? (Yes, I've tried drinking!)

My daughter (16) sleeps all the time, and her room is a disaster...no...really. It is worse than you can imagine.
The doctor did blood work and there is nothing wrong with her bloodwise.
He suggested a mild anti-depressant, suggesting it could be sub-clinical depression. She says she is not depressed.
I would like her to try it, but of course, I can not force her.
Have you ever been able to convince somebody to take meds?

I have depression and it is good to coincide with others and I am not afraid to admit it, but for some reason some people hide in shells and that is not good.

I don't think 20 minutes is long enough. I had a doctor try to do this to me once. My problem was situational not biological. I changed my job and was fine. The job was working with people with mental disorders. The problem was not understanding the bi polar disorder nor did I know how to deal with it. I was also very afraid of her and I think she knew this. Anyhow I want to know what other people think about diagnosing someone with a disorder within 20 minutes of meeting the patient.

She misunderstands every thing I say, and she takes it out of context to where it seems to her I am saying something negative about her. Just wondering your personal experiences....
