I have autism, and people see things differently out of me, for example, I flap my hands, and sometimes when peole are talking behind my back, I stare at them in a trance. They should stop. Should I form a group at my school, so that they could understand me more?

I'm stressed out 24/7, primarily by my family, they are SO critical...I'm only 14, and I'm dealing with more stress than I can bear....How can I find the time to relax? Or what can I do so I'm not so stressed out all of the time?

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder and lately I've been having really severe panic attacks. It's come to the point where I avoid everything. I've been going to therapy for almost five years now. I try to tell myself that nothing bad is going to happen to me but I just end up panicking more. I've also tried some abdominal breathing techniques. Any other suggestions?

(just got fired two weeks ago). I am just home going crazy trying to figure out what I should do with my life, while my parents are yelling at me the same way when I was 5, they are telling me " you are grown man,now you should have be married with kids already with a stable income just like your look at your older brothers already had been earning stable income when they were only 23 , why are you worse then them". I feel like a low life. I don't know why I am still thinking and not working. I am not sure if I should go to college although I never was good in school. In school only when I was trying hard I managed to pass my test but I was still averaging 75% in my classes. I was never able to be the best in anything except playing video games and cracking jokes. a lot was bothering me in high school like I couldn't pay attention to the teacher because there were too many sexy females in class, and that could still be a problem for me in college

i sleep a lot and don't want to wake up, i think i have no reason to wake up for, i'm always silent, don't feel like talking, locked up in my room, i don't enjoy music or TV, but I always watch TV aimlessly, I beign to smoke, I want to feel numb all the time, I feel guilt, and shame. I think others always underestimate me, I don't know what to do really, I feel I can't deal with this world or people living in it, I don't know what to do, is this depression or what? Do I have to seek help???

Ok well whenever I do something wrong or if something bad happens that realates somehow to me then I end up feeling really bad and getting bad thoughts that I really don't agree with.

Like for example this morning my sister and I missed the bus because we woke up late, and I usually wake up to the alarm first then wake her up. Today when we missed the bus one of the first things I felt was guilt. It really bothers me because I don't have much of a reason to be feeling these things, but they just come on it's own. It makes me sick.

I've been lying since I can remember. It became an usual thing when I was probably 5-6 years old. Lying has so far destroyed one marriage and it put me in jail for a white collar crime. It also has severally damaged the lives of several family members and friends. The funny part is that I’m totally aware of my lying habits, I try to stop it but I can’t. I put a lot of effort every day, and I try to promise myself over and over that is not going to happen again. I know it will kill me one day, but I continue lying. I tried the divide-and-conquer approach, starting with small lies but it didn’t work. I saw a professional who pretty much told me that I didn’t need medication or anything like that, but that I needed to “learn how to accept it because it was induced by an overprotective family that didn’t show me how to confront the world”. After more than 10 sessions and +/- $2500, I feel worse and more depressed. Sometimes I feel the only option is to depart this world. Help anyone?

How come sometimes I feel really scared for like twenty minutes then depressed, then like throwing up and then panicy. Sometimes I also suddenly become really happy, until I relize that I am. I know it sounds weird, but what's it called? And no I'm not bipolor.

Even if you've sold your brain to science (and can still type) how did you spend the money?

shes irrational to the point of screaming the house down been manipulative, subtle in her ways to make me react angrily, shes angry all the time, i can't seem to get close to her emotionally, she makes me feel stupid, she doesnt pull her weight in the household chores and when she does she makes a big deal about it and does it kinda right but not ok. she lives with clutter all over the house and she gets angry when i try to clean it all up saying that i dont want anything about her living in the house, shes bitter, resentful,not many friends,shes in constant conflict with her family each sister brother and father in turn. shes now started to drink more than is good for her. when my aunt died and i said something of triviality to her about something else she exploded ranting and raving and left the house and never came back sending abusive texts to me and dumped me by text ive lived with her 2 years and confused i think it may be borderline personality disorder or passive agressive diso

I've have been in tune with the things going on with John Mark Karr since he had admitted that he had killed Jon Benet. I hate that Jon Benet was killed, but at the same time, I feel sympathetic for John Mark Karr. From what I have heard and read about him, he's traumatized and delusional. He is very persistant right now in wanting to get back into teaching which it is not a good idea in his case. He should try a new profession. But, first he needs some serious help. People like him, I know can't be rehabilitated. But, some people can change to be a better person if they work very hard at it. John Mark Karr evidently can't see that there is something wrong with him for he is desensitized from all the pain and suffering that he is going through. He is in denial. He hasn't asked for psychiatric help. His family members haven't spoken up for him for the fact that he needs help so far. Not that I know of in the news. Perhaps they don't care about him.

I learned of my ex-love's death 5 months ago, and I am still reeling from it. So many unanswered questions and no one to talk to about it. I carry it around like a weight.

My husband does not know. I don't want to hurt him. I have two small boys that keep me busy and I attend college full-time. I know that I am focusing too much energy on his memory and am literally driving myself crazy.

I never knew that losing him could be this hard. Mainly because I lost him years ago. We had a long distance relationship that didn't make it. We were both young and immature. So many things I want to say to him. I always wished him a happy life and then I find out he dies of a drug overdose which is completely uncharacteristic of him. He was a good guy. Very loving and caring and only 39 years old when he passed away. Maybe I never got over him. I don't know why I am so racked by his death. It is difficult to rationalize.
