My bf is quite depressed, I undersatnd why but don't know how to help him. We are self-employed and on v low incomes (not even minimum wage). The Inland Revenue has messed up and cancelled our financial aid by accident (it's 'in the system' to get sorted out) leaving us down £300 a month. Our van, which is necessary for our self-employment has broken and is in the garage (will be between £600 and £1000 to fix, which we don't have). We work 7 days a week and worry about money until the wee small hours. He's always been a bit of a drinker and this is his crutch at the moment. I've got a history of depression so I try really really hard to stay positive as I don't want to get ill again, but nothing I say or do can lift his mood. He's snappy, irritable, no food I make is good enough (too boring, or just rubbish), nothing I suggest to do is exciting enough. He says he may as well just give up and go to bed. He's just taken the car key and stropped off out the house....

I am afraid of spiders (okay not that unusual). But I also have an intense dislike of tentacles - octopus, squid or cuttlefish - I simply can't stand them. If I see them on TV I get all twitchy and have to look away. When I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 I thought I could brave it whenever Davey Jones sent the Kraken onto the ships, but in the end I had to close my eyes and do deep breathing. It's not so much that I'm afraid of them, I just find they way they coil and wrap around things very disturbing, even if I'm watching a documentary about the sea and it's just a little octopus eating a crab or something...

Anyway, I'm babbling...

Does anyone have an unusual or ridiculous phobia of something?

And does anyone know the name of my tentacle phobia?

I have purchased some St John's Wort for my 17 year old daughter as she has signs of depression. The doctor won't prescribe her anti-depressants (which I agree with at the moment) but I was recommended St John's Wort. Does it work? Does anyone have any personal experience of it? How long does it take to 'kick in'?

My girlfriend has a problem, most likely a psychological one, in which at random points during her life, usually a little over a month in time, she feels feelingless. If that makes any sense, she looses care about anything in her life, doesn't feel anything, in a sense she becomes numb. Only problem with this whole issue is that, her parents don't believe in psychiatrists, which leaves us at a stand still as well because she has issues opening up to strangers. Does anybody have any idea's what this could possibly be? And if so, is there anything that can be done about it without any medications.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been diagnosed as bipolar and after reading answers to my last question it seems paxil isn't the way to go. I have an appointment Tuesday to get medications but I would like to have an idea of "real"people's takes on meds. Anyone have a med they absolutely love or hate? What is so great/horrible about it? I'm willing to trust my doc i just think it'd be nice if he gives me options to know what I am dealing with. Thanks :)

I did not do good in High School. I'm not good at math, I have to use a calculator to solve the basic division, and multiplication problems. I do other things, and act certain ways. I have always sensed something. I have tried to get help to see if I have a disability like I suspect. What organization should I look into, at my age?

get so stressed out that I can't breath. Like I hypervintalate and I just can't catch my breath. I can't do anything. I just keep telling myself to take deep breaths, but it doesn't help right away. I breath out and I can't draw breath back in and then when I do Igasp and can't breath again. I get so clost to passing out all the time. I thought it would work if I TRY and breathe. I thought it was all subconscience or something but I honestly can't breathe normally. I just can't.....nervous brake down?

I am so sick of feeling this way. Lots of times I am happy, and then it comes down on me. I feel hurt that my life expectations have been botched. I feel guilty that I am subject to vice. I feel lonely that it is hard for me to connect to people. I cringe at the world. Everything that I think is wrong with it keeps nagging at me and I get delusions of grandeur and persecution delusions. I know ordinary people have complications like these related to sexual desires, I suppose, in the Freudian sense--could this be plaguing me? I do genuinely feel that I have a lot to offer people. I am bright, articulate, and that I look fine. Nothing much is wrong with me but when the hurt feelings, the lonely feelings, and the guilty feelings return it is as I need to kill the pain. Surely I am overreacting. Is there any way to mellow out more than I already am? Outwardly I think I appear normal. However, I am worried about how people perceive me. Can I expand my ordinary consciousness?
