I am constantly worried all the time over trivial matters. It makes me unhappy and unable to be productive over the course of the day. I will end up drinking heavily to help cope and the drinking is taking it's toll on my marriage. I find my self flirting with other women and have no idea I am doing it due to how heavily intoxicated I am. I really want to get away from all of this and have a happy married life.

Objectively, I'm a good lookin guy. Girls at school like me and people mostly think that a look great.

But I have a problem. My brother took picture of me on his digital camera. When I saw myself, I was all like: "I look terrible, that CAN'T BE ME". my brother said that I look normal, fine, but I just can't accept my appeareance. I hate myself. I can't stand my look or my voice. I hate myself.

Do you suffer serious motivation problems like me, where you need to lie down with your eyes shut and find it hard to sit up? Do you think this is due to the medication or the illness.

Yet another interesting class discussion......This time we discussed Maslow...who in my opinion, seemed to live a very miserable life from childhood, and throughout adulthood. Anyway, i've always been curious to know why everything is always blamed on the mother?

Surely there isn't a button for every phrase or word?

And don't some people who are unable to push buttons have machines where it is connected to their brains, and their thoughts are processed into sound?

If not and I've got it wrong, would it be possible do you think to make such a machine?

my husband was up all night, with a horrible headache, sore neck, and hot and cold flashes. And it's still going on, We've tried hot tea, tylenol, just lying there, he tried to play his computer game for a while until he got bored. But to no avail he still has his sore neck and headache and can't sleep. He's getting really irritable now and very cranky. Do you people have any ideas that will help out?

I'm curious to hear what it feels like from someone who actually IS bipolar, in their own words--not someone who has just ripped textbook definitions of the symptoms off of some website.

ah yes, there are lots of them here in the US, but here is my complaint! I am not one to judge anyone by there waist size, but there does come a point where you have to draw the line, literally!! This morning while getting on the bus two big bottom women sat next to me, one on my right and one on the left. Well, the one took up 1 1/2 seats and the other, yes believe it or not took up 1 1/2 seats also. So where does that leave me, yes, gasping for oxygen. I mean like one of them apologized which was nice and all, but I'm thinking if your butt doesn't fit in the seat girl, maybe you could stand, cause I don't enjoy being under two BB women on my way to work, it just isn't how I like to start my day. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think its just common courtesy not to sit on top of people. What should you say to these people who do this??? Am I bad?

I have PTSD and chronic major depression. I have no diagnosed medical problems. Last night I was watching television when suddenly I felt what I can only describe as a sudden rush of blood into my brain, followed by a wooshing sound in my ears, and my eyes got incredibly heavy and I could not keep them open. I did not feel sleepy or like I was passing out. I was fully aware of what was happening. This lasted for about 30 seconds the first time. About five minutes later, it happened again. This time it lasted closer to a minute.

I have no idea what this could be related to. Any ideas?

I am a very positive person, but lately I have had to work with so many negative people that I have struggled to maintain my usual sunny attitude. Half the time I feel like a bird with broken wings. Do you have any strategies that help you cope with negative energies?

at really wierd times and places. For instance, I spit in the sink when I'm doing dishes, in the washer when I'm washing clothes, sometimes I spit in the trash, the elevator, I'll open my car door at stoplights and spit. Yesterday I spit in Wal-mart in one of their fake plants and then at McDonalds in a happy meal box . The worst of it though is I spit at church this last Sunday when no one was looking. What happens when I have the uncontrollable urge to spit in someones face? Please help.......

I just started lexapro a few days ago. I started taking it at night, expecting it to make me drowsy, but it does the opposite. It's like having a few shots of espresso, get very energized and can't sleep at night for more than a few hours. I also get this feeling that blood is rushing to my head, it's a tingling sensation. I also noticed that sometimes my vision is blurred but it goes away in minutes, after i get out of bed. I would start taking it in the morning but I don't want my vision to be blurred while driving, so I figure night time is the best time to take it so that most of the side effects wear off by the time I have to get up. I also have dry mouth sometimes. IAnyone else having these side effects?
One good side effect that I like about lexapro is that it's helping me to not crave chocolate and other sweets. In fact some foods even taste bad now. Which I like, because I gained a lot of weight while I was on Paxil and it took a long time and a lot of hard work to get it off

My daughter is 2.5 years old and has recently become afraid of the dark. And it is not just at my house, but all of our relatives homes too. I try to reassure her, but I myself (at age 25) am still afraid of the dark. I have been ever since I can remember. I would hear and see aweful things. My daughters problem is now extending over to general fear. Now even if the light is on she will not enter or walk near certain places. She starts hyperventalating and screaming if I try to bring her near a place she doesn't want to be. She is really starting to scare me and I don't know what to do. She won't even sleep in her own room...she wakes up every night crying even though I leave a night light for her. I feel helpless because I can't even help myself with this problem. What can I do?
