My sister is my moms in home health care provider and in the past few years my brothers and I believe that she has been taking advantage of my mom financially and emotionally. My mom no longer talks to any of us any more and we have no way to really check up on her. My daughter (then 17) visited out there this year for several months and says that my sister is always yelling bad things at my mom like "You would be happy if I just killed myself? I should just kill myself!" (My sister has slashed her wrists and done a couple of other things that could be perceived as suicide attempts in the past.) My daughter said that my sister very seldomly get s off of the computer and that when my mom says that she is hungry my sister does not cook for her. My Mom is on dialysis 3 days a week, is 64 years old, and has been in bad health for a while. My brothers and I do not know what to do and and suspect my sister of abuse, although not physical. What should we do?

A few days ago I found out that my sister who is 23 has officially been diagonsed with bipolar 2 dissorder. She's joked for a couple years about it but nothing really came from it. She finally had a break down last week and went to the ER for physical symptoms. From there she was admitted to a psych ward. We get to talk to her for a little while each day but I'm having trouble dealing with this. I'm 18 years old, and someone who worries constently so this really isn't helping. I have no idea how I can start dealing with this and what I can do to try and help. I should add that my sister is in California and we are on the other side of the country in Pennsylvania. Any advice you can give me I will be greatful for. Thanks.

I have bipolar but am not yet medicated. I am waiting to see a doctor. My episodes are bad with very bad temper outbursts and I cannot control the volume at which I speak. My husband thought I was a very bad person until I got diagnosed. Now that he knows what it is he still treats me like I should be abl;e to help it. He hasn't looked stuff up about it which really hurts me 'cos I think he would if he cared. He swears that he loves me and when I am relatively normal he is very good to me and behaves like he adores me. I know it is hard for him but I wish he would stop telling me about it when he doesn't know himself. What can I do?

I mean like sometimes I'll just feel so angry or sad or lonely or otherwise crappy, and I'll cut myself. But then I hear about people who cut themselves cause they were abused as a kid or other aweful things like that, and I don't have any real reason at all, nothing really bad ever happened to me or anything, and I feel like I don't have any right to feel like crap or to cut myself, and it's not fair to people who have really suffered that I do.

I mean like when I hear about people who say the reason they cut themselves is that they were horribly abused or whatever then I feel like I have no right to cut myself since nothing that bad happened to me to make me do it, and like I'm trivializing their suffering by doing the same thing they do (i.e. cutting) and making it meaningless. Does anyone else ever feel like that?

I have seasonal depression.... well it's not diagnosed yet, but I am diagnosed (or w/e you wanna call it) w/clinical depression. However, as of a few weeks ago it suddenly got REALLY worse and nothing in my life has really changed. All summer long I was fine. I started seeing the therapist I am seeing now in January because I was at a real bad low. Then I got better as the summer came and so on. So yeah I've actually noticed it's been like this for years in a row, so it must be seasonal. Anyway... I'm going back to the therapist in a few weeks, but until then, I was just wondering what you do to help get your mood up (assumin you have seasonal depression too and are reading this...) Do you do the bright light therapy (or w/e its called)? Does it work? Did the light machine thing cost alot? Any help would be great. I'd def going to the therapist sooner, but I'm away at school and can't get home before my next appt.

Thanks everyone!
Oh btw, I'm on Wellbutrin already...

I have a tendency to think negatively and stay tensed by predicting problems that could occur in future in my life. I have always been like this since child-hood..i try to help myself by thinking about other things. But my mind always tends to go in the same direction and be worried all the times...which is why i dont sound cheerful to people..and i dont think i like that about myself. How do i start living a positive life ..happy..cheerful..and keep others around me happy ?

Where you're moving around at a normal pace but suddenly your mind seems to speed up and you feel like your rushing but you're really not? I'm not sure how to put it in words... If you understand what do you think is behind it?

Sometimes I have trouble waking up in the morning. Its as if my eyes are open and I can see and hear things going on around me but my body feels paralyzed and I try to wake and get up but I cannot fully awaken and I feel as if someone is holding me down and won't let me up. It is a very scary feeling...

First off, I'm one of those people who completely disagrees with antidepressants. I've always thought there's nothing that can't be beat with my own mind. With that said, lately my mind seems to be falling apart. I'm in my mid twenties and am losing interest in everything! I'm a musician and I have been recording music since I was 10 years old, it's one of the only things that really keeps me happy. For this last year and a half, I'm struggling to even enjoy that. These days, I get like one good day a month. My emotions are so back and forth. I can wake up feeling like I'm on top of the world, I'll see everything in such a positive way! Then before I know it (sometimes within an hour of waking)I feel like I'm worthless.I hate it! I used to run in 10k races,now I'm so lazy I put on 25 pounds.I always feel so tired.I can't sleep one night, then the net night I sleep for 14 hours.My social life is completely gone because I hate even leaving the house.I appreciate any help. Do I need meds?

I question my level of sanity almost daily..I have a great career and a good man, but sometimes I just feel the same as I did when I was an unhappy teen...I try to "Fake it till I make it" but sometimes I feel very close to loosing control. Is this part of being a normal human being?

Most of the time, when you refer to someone heraing voices, it is linked to the voices telling them to do something, or just that the voices seem to be drowning out other sounds. I think that's schitzophrenia.

I have this thing where, even when I know I'm in a place where no one else is, I hear voices. However, it's not like they're clear, and they're not loud. It's more like a tv playing in another room, only I know there's no tv playing, there's no radio, there's no one else at home. There's not even the air conditioner, heater or fan blowing. I can't make out any words or anything, nor can I make out if it seems like there are more than one voice, or anything. Really, it's just like if someone down the hall had on a tv.

Should I go see my psychiatrist about this, or is there some level where this is normal, so long as it doesn't interfere with everyday life?
