Her Dr. is a great doc!!! We tried her out on different meds, and she became a different person, yes all of her work was done, and she already was top of her class as far as scoring goes, but she became a TWICKER hardcore. She was taken of the meds for the summer. But I took her to the eye Dr. she was saying that her eyes were bothering her. It turns out that she has a focising problem..... so could this be the the reason for her ADHD dig. or could she have both.... any info on this would be a plus TY SOOOOO MUCH!! I hate the thought of my daughter being a governmental Twicker.... and maybe soon then later, have thoughts of killing herself!!! SCARY

i've told him i have sadistic tendencies, suffer from depression and anxiety, i often have weird or horrific dreams, i often have thoughts of praying to satan or god.

loads of times i have heard my mams voice shouting to me, but when i ask what she wanted, she tells me i'm hearing things, whenever i talk to, or reason with god in my mind, i hear this old mans voice (my interpretation of gods voice), which technically means i'm answering myself back, just not verbally.

i have a fear of being able to talk to people telepathically, and that my brain will drain of energy because of all the telepathy.

i have weird visions and scenarios that pop into my mind for no particular reason, like yesterday, i had this thought where someone was in this dark rook, the walls were made of hard rusty metal sheets, and there was a chainsaw going full speed, he had a heavy chain attached to his head, and he swung it, so as his neck landed in the spinning blade, and the chain pinned him down.

I have shitty hearing, sight, memory, and intense ADD. It seems like the 3 most important senses that keep me connected to this world are numbing. It's been like this for about a year. I remember the first day I realized it was developing. I would have anxiety episodes and I would lose hunger and sleep over it. Basically, what is happening is every memory I have feels like it was weeks or even years ago. Even my entire day at work today seemed like only an hour when i think back on it. I'm having a horrible time remembering names, and numbers.....which is really killing me in chemistry. I'm only 18 years old, I don't do anything except smoke pot and drink occasionally, but nothing addictively. In fact, this whole memory thing started a few months after started to take a break from those things. I haven't been exposed to many loud sounds in my life. I zone out frequently and come back to reality not knowing whats going on. Anybody know what is wrong with me? or have the same thing?

I believe this is the problem that I have because I'm always panoraid in public and around people. I hide it but inside I'm constantly worring about what people think and now it's starting to show. So can I relieve myself of this pressure without getting professional help?

I'm on antidepressants and have been drinking regularly for the last couple of weeks (tonight I've had 2 glasses of wine). I'm seeing a counselor and don't know how to bring this up during sessions. What's wrong with me? Am I self destructing? I don't think that meds are working? Does anyone have any serious suggestions? I'm not sure why I keep doing this to myself.

Anyone here who is or has been depressed, dissatisfied with drugs given for treatment and overcome depression without drugs or therapy? I am fairly smart and definitely a person who doesn’t like to sit and share with a stranger who’s values or don’t know or trust as you have to with therapy. I have taken many antidepressants, but I find they all have some uncomfortable side effect beside alleviating depression (too wired, too exhausted, too sweaty, too emotionally dead). I stopped searching for a solution for a while, but now depression is ruining my relationships, work and causing me to become alcoholic. I don’t want a group or drugs. I am just wondering if someone has tried to deal with this on their own and how successful they have been.

I just hate myself really. I don't like the way I look(though I guess I am attractive). I hate my face, my voice, ect. I act really nervous a lot and I'm always worried about what people think about me. I don't really think I'm good at anything, and the only thing that keeps me going everyday is a girl that I like that likes me but I can't seem to get her to go out with me. Which is another thing. I don't know why she likes me. I don't really know why anybody likes me. I never act depressed around anybody, but by myself I get really really sad. I never think about cutting myself but I do think about suicide. I'm just really confused about myself, I guess I could say "I don't know who I am".

For years I have been subconciously altering my feelings about things so I will not enjoy life.
Today I realised I had been doing this and at first felt full of despair.

But now I have realised that everything I had been supressing is now in the open to me.

I did not know I could feel so good about myself. I feel better than I ever thought I could do. Thoughts and desires I had buried have returned to me.
I have got so much of my life back. I want kids again. I want to do things without the guilt of excess or the emptiness of denial. I have regained my sex drive! I want to things just for me and not just enjoy life vicariously. I want to complete that script I started ages ago but could not bring myself to finish. This is so great!

I have wasted so much time... I must do something!
Any suggestions?

Newly diagnosed, my 10 year old son is interested in more information. He wants to make a presentation to his classmates to inform them on his condition and increase the awareness in his school. He is also looking for some basics on his condition and would like to know what books he should check into. If you are familiar with this and have read some books, I would like to hear from you.

I was just thinking about the effects of both and how both make you feel.

Please don't say neither, but I really, really want honest opinions.
