My nephew is cutting himself, and today got pulled in by the counselor because he was doing it at the lunch table with a plastic knife...he never uses anything sharp, and only produces light scratches in visible places. I have read it is an "attention seeker" to do it this way but my sister is horrified. He has no relationship with his father who is a deadbeat druggie with 5 other children, but has had support from his grandparents, and our whole family his whole life. He also takes medicine for ADD. Is there anything my sister can do at home to help? She is worried about how to address the situation (talk to him and such) since he is a mouthy teenager, and doesn't listen to half of what she says anyway and argues with a brick.

Thank you to everyone with your answers. I pray everyday 10 million times a day to GOD, only he knows what to do with me. I have been in couseling and tried many different support groups and it has not helped. I am at a dead end, my husband and son is my back bone. I guess I am stubborn and just don't know how to move on or accept that she is gone. I will never have any mother/daughter days that I have been dreaming of since she was born, I had one mother/daughter day and that was 2 days before she passed and I cherrish that always. My dreams are crushed, I love my son and do the best to keep going for him but the feelings I carry are not positive ones and it is getting harder each day to keep going. I can't see anything but my loss and devastation. HELP me please.

in a successful relationship, for how long and does your partner also suffer from this. The reason I'm asking is I was just in a relationship with someone who suffered from depression/ anxiety who was on Effexor and Xanax (sp?) who I miss dearly today, but I just couldn't handle the ups and downs of his moods and his day to day struggles with this. I don't have a problem with depression to that extent, so it was very hard on me.

My daughter passed away in a house fire 2 yrs 1 mo 18 days ago. I always kept my children safe and did everything to keep my children safe from any type of harm. I cannot accept what happened and fight within myself that I failed her as a mother who is suppose to protect her children. I'm lost! I'm devastated I have become to hate the word time and you need to move on by making her proud. How can I make her proud when I failed her.

Im 16, been training for about 9 months (weightlifting). I train 5 times a week, and have never missed a workout or tried to avaoid one, even if I feel like absolute crap. When I get the fear that Im going to miss a workout i.e. lesson ending late etc, I become very frustrated, often smash something, shout etc etc etc. Even when I miss a meal I get very very p@@@@d off. During lessons and that, I find it very difficult to concentrate as Im constantly thinking about workout it. Anyone else have a similar problem? Is this even a problem, or very good determination and discipline? Or is it even a form of OCD?

Thanks for your help,

I have been taking a powerful sleep concoction so that I can go to sleep: 50 mg of Nite Time Tylenol, Melatonin, Chamomile Tea, and another sleep herb. It definetely works as it knocks me out, but I need something more practical and less reliable on over the counter pills and potions. Any good suggestions for getting sleepy enough to sleep and than having the ability to wake up refreshed and not drained?

I'm really shy around people I don't know so I haven't really had any real friends in my life. Only people I will hang around with at school. Now I'm 20 with no friends and I can't get the balls to talk to females. Sometimes I get really unhappy but I don't show it.
What do you all think??

I am not a typical perfectionist, if I am one at all. I count and regimate the calories I consume from food (800-1000), won't eat "bad" food, count my alcohol drinks (4-5 per night), work out 30-60 minutes per day. I'm a painter and all my friends are musicians, artists, writers and drunks. I am too. I am just the only one obsessed with being "perfect". weight must never exceed 99 lbs, always look pretty, always be reading a new book, always keep the house clean- but not too clean, always be listening to a newly discovered artists' cd, always be "into" a new painter or outsider artist, etc. Maybe i'm not a perfectionist; maybe i'm just flippin' weird.

i do have panic attacks from time to time, by they are usually pot-induced so i'm not too worried about that.

I have anxiety/and or panic attacks everyday now.... I havent been able to go to work since saturday because of this. It is not going away I have had this anxiety for a couple of months now. I was on Avitan and then Klonopin but my scripts have run out. I cant do anything, I am so withdrawn now, Im worried that I am gonna get fired. I just sit inside me house all day now and have terrible anxiety. I feel like I have no hope, and that I am lost. I feel like I am dying every day. I think often that I am having a nervous breakdown and that I should check myself into a hospital, but I dont have insurance or the money for that. I cant sleep and all I do is worry 24/7 now. Please help me someone.

Your life was so stressed out that you were willing to try anything to end your life.

Let me give you a few example like Driving on the wrong side of the lane to get into a car accident, stabbing your self in the stomach with a butcher/steak knife, or Driving your car off a bridge? Those type of tendencies.

Have you ever had it, and what stopped you from acting on those tendencies?

I am bi-polar, have been for years. Infact my dad , my brother, and a few other people in my family have this disorder. I am on Lithium, and Seroquel. The medicine works very good, but I still have days where I get '' on edge '', if any of you are bi-polar, you know what I mean. I need to know how do I explain to my wife that the medicine is not a cure? Because when I do have a bad day, she starts running her mouth on me and says the medicine doesn't work, but I know it does work. She is always putting me down. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Hi, I know that I have an anger issue. Over the years, I have taught myself how to control it, but every once in a while, it slips out and I feel really guilty about it. The other day, I got a little annoyed and kind of snapped at my boyfriend. I have screwed up relationships in the past with my anger and I do NOT want to do this to him, I love him more than anything and I dont want to hurt him. I have been to counseling and it didnt help me at all. Ive helped myself more than anything else. I know that I will get angry on occasion, but it should be rare. Should I talk to him about my anger issues and explain that its not him and Im doing my best? I have a hard time admitting that Im an angry person. I try to hide it, so when I do get angry, its so hard to apologize even though I really am sorry. The guilt of snapping is so overwhealming. My father was angry and abusive (and a child molester) and I when I see him in myself, it hurts so much. Help!

During my high school years I had higher self esteem I could look people in the eye and hold meaningful conversations expressing my point of view.Ppl always complimented me on how attractive and intelligent I was.When I was younger i was told I held a conversation like an adult. Oh you should have seen me. I always had a professional appearance even at the age of 14-16!I used to be a socialite.
Now Im 19.I've gained about 60 pounds and it's messing with my self-image. When I'm talking to pple I notice I stutter alot now. I mix words together(sorta like aperson who had a mild stroke I Didn't have a stroke tho). I find myself placing my hands over my face/chin/neck/cheeks to hide facial hair caused by Polycystic Ovaries. I always pulling my shirt upwards by the collar cuz of chest hair.I feel worthless. Id rather stay out of public cuz I feel so unattractive. PEOPLE SEE ME AND SAY THAT I HAVE THROWN MYSELF AWAY! and it's true!I dont wanna be this way anymore but theres nothing I can do!

I felt like I was going crazy this morning, so I didn't go to my French class. Instead, I ended up picking on my face for half an hour so now it's all red...I seem to do this all the time, and then I just think well, that was stupid...I do it sometimes on my thighs and arms too. I just kinda zone out and do it. I used to cut myself sometimes but I haven't in over a year. Is this some form of self mutilation or something? I seem to have a hard time coping with emotions. I've tried to completely shut them down, but then when they crop up, I just don't know what to do. I also can't seem to motivate myself to do anything. It was hard to get up, and then I decided there wasn't any point to go to class today. I can't seem to ever have any energy either.

Almost two years ago, I was attacked by a man who tried to rape and kill me. He didn't, thank God. I know I should forgive him, and I really want to. He is in prison now. Forgiving and forgetting are two separate things. But I get these awful ideas when I think of him. Torture, killing him, and in quite vivid detail. I've gone through counseling; that's not the problem. I just want to see him hurt as badly as I do/did. Why can't I let go and forgive him for what he has done to me and my life?

My late father developed Alzheimer's disease and had to go into a nursing home. The SS said he must sell his home to pay for his own care. As I held an Enduring Power of Attorney, I refused because under the 1946 NHS act ALL care should be free. Many like my dad end up in this situation - although he had never taken a day off work or claimed any sort of state benefit. When he needed his country's help they said he 'wasn't eligible' and turned him down - yet as a young man he served his country well - he fought at Arnham etc. but all that apparently counts for nothing!
