Lately I have been feeling very stressed and I dont feel like I am really living life like I should. I am 17 yrs old and I work and used to be a pretty good student. this year though I have changed. I feel like I just go through the motions and I dont really accomplish anything. Its like I want to but for some reason I dont. I copy tests and quizzes from classmates because i am so exausted and i never have time to study and have come to the conclusion that I am not smart in math and probably never will be. and i want to be so so so bad because i want to be a doctor but it seems like something is ALWAYS standing in my way. my parents fight and are getting divorced, all I do is work so I can support my mom when we have to leave our house to get away from my dad, I never have time for school. do you think I shouldl give up my dream to become a doctor because deep down i think it wont work out anyway? I dont know what to do. I have completely changed as a person and I dont know what to do

I have a very stressful life & job so I feel anxious a lot of the time, always snippy, on edge, everything is a "10!" My Dr wants me to try .5 mg of ativan as needed, but I have read about it and it scares the heck out of me. The last thing I need is to become worse or addicted to something. Is there any natural medicines other than exercise (I already do that & yoga daily) that actually work?? There are many on the internet but I do not want to waste my time or money on them, HELP ME!!!!! please...

I am not under any stress, and they aren't doing anything to require any demeaning yelling or anything, I just seem to start in on them for no apparent reason and I feel horrible, would like to be able to control it, any ideas?

here's a clue - how about we illegalize and cease production for purchase the 'over the counter' materials used to make meth?

Tylenol Cold and Flu or whatever? Get that **** off the counter!?!?!

it's as though the answers are so simple there must be a force at work in the government trying to keep the meth production flowing

Although I thought that I had gone through the worst of adolescence and that I was over with the crazy ups and downs, lately I've been having these weird mood swings and feelings of depression. How do I know what's normal for my age (17) and what may be a more serious condition?

I look all happy in front of everyone. But Im actually depressed. I feel really alone since I dont have a gf. There are girls that like me, but im so confused as to which one I want. And because of my extremely low self esteem I doubt that they even like me, when its obviously do. I have no idea what girls see in me. I guess Im attractive but I kinda hate myself. I don't like myself at all, and I don't think im good for anything.I think about killing myself a lot. idk what to do

A lot of researchers say: "we don't fully understand the function of sleep." I only have an undergraduate degree, but it seems obvious to me. You have to go to sleep so your brain can run scan disk, and clean up the Windows registry, and defrag.

Since I was a kid I have always had Panic Attacks, where I feel I am losing some sort of control over my body, and it creates tremendous anxiety. But about a year ago I started to get OCD symptoms. I started to have crazy thoughts like I was going to hurt my girlfriend, or myself. Even though I no I would never do something like this, I could not get the images out of my head. It made me very depressed and feel guilty about having these thoughts. My family Dr. perscribed me Cymbalta, however that did not help, just made me sicker. Recently I have been having panic attacks more often, especially when it is time to go to sleep. I have tried everything to try and rid myself of having obessesive thoughts and panic attacks but nothing seems to work....Am I alone or does anyone have some similar symptoms? Does anyone have any words of advice or ways to help? If you think you can help, you can also catch me on messenger as thekid24_fre, it would be nice to chat with people similar to.

Typing desperately from work as we speak. Look, I have ADHD.. I take 54 mg. of Concerta every morning, right about this time it wears off... I have five more hours of work.

I cannot concentrate, I daydream, I do AWFUL until I leave. I work in a high paced environment and help people all day, I support systems which experience constant problems that are not my fault, people yell at me, the money is good but I am tired I want to leave I am going insane I need some motivation to stay here.

Please help. I cannot afford to lose this job. I am desperate.. this happens everyday at this time... please I hate this.

If two girls, for example, pretend they are a man and a woman experimenting with eachother- orally (not with kissing, or tongue, but on the genitals all the same), and with climbing on top of eachother- can they still develop normally, sexually or will this scar them? Is it normal for this to happen?

I've been diagnosed with bipolar and panic attacks. I take Depakote and Zoloft but was wondering if the zoloft can eventually become ineffective?

Do you think its helpful or harmful? A couple of my friends were having a debate over it today at school.

Okay you guys, this is a serious question I'm afraid.

Husband has been telling me for ages now that I suffer from OCD - I'm not sure but it's starting to worry me cos even I know my habits and routines are ridiculous and the smallest task can take me for ages to do eg. always late for work cos I have to keep checking lights etc are off properly, odd numbers scare me, always buy, for instance an even number of fruit at supermarket, i.e. 4 oranges, 2 apples, wouldn't dare buy 3 or 5! If someone offers me, say peanuts, I have to take 2 or 4.

All my tins in the cupboard have to face out the way with labels showing, when hanging up washing, clothes must all be in line with each other, all my clothes must be put in the wardrobe very neatly with hanger facing in the way - I just thought this was good organisational skills? I dont wash my hands like 40 times or anything like that.

I just feel I have to do things in a certain order or something bad will happen.

Any advice?

Especially my thighs hurt. Maybe I am not getting enough water? Or I am not eating properly. I live in a noisy apartment unit and I am sensitive to noise so it is hard for me to fall asleep. I feel like I am losing it mentally too. Can't stand the random bangs in here. Poorly insulated for sound.

I was married to one. The whole family has suffered because of this man. Can anyone tell me more about sociopaths? How to deal with them? How much should we fear him? Is he capable of murder?

In the last few months i have been having major mood swings, for one week i'll be really 'high' and loud etc and for the next week i'll be so quiet, tired, feel alone and in the last few days i have started to self harm.
Is this Bi-polar?
Also what can i do about it for myself?
The only peron who knows about any of this, including the self-harm is one of my closest friends.
I don't want to see a doctor and i can't talk to my mum about it, what can i do? ♥

and a cousin when I was a child and at early teen age.I have become cyber sex addict. I still fantasize about them. I am practically afraid of girls and I have no girl friend. Please advice what should I do. Many girls show interest in me but I am shy. I want to stop cyber sex but I cannot do this. Fantasy of my aunts remained in my mind. I don’t know what can I do to stop this?

lately i feel kind of dreamy. as if im watching my surroundings. kind of like if im at the store i look around and its like i am separated from everything and and im watching them, even though im there it feels like im watching them from somewhere else. lately ive also not been getting enough sleep. could this be the problem? this feeling isnt severe its just bothersome also it tends to disappear when im not thinking about it and ive got my attention on something else. but as soon as i think about it it pops up. in general i just feel like im sorta dreaming. do you guys ever feel this way when you dont get enough sleep? ive only been getting 5 hours a night for 3 weeks, and it feels like i could fall alseep anytime.
