i admit i am too nice to people. i am almost one of thse people you hate that are annoying because they are so nice and polite and friendly all the time, making it seem almost phony. i smile and nod all the time ...and RARELY express disgust or disapproval with anyone or anything......making it seem like im a dull boring cheesy little elf or something.

has anyone ever heard of this?? it is not easy to change either...it is like telling an alcholic to just quit drinking...

i am starting to figure out this isn't healthy..

I've lived here most of my life, and the few times I left the state were the happiest. I am so sick and tired of the insanely high cost of housing, the massive traffic jams, the 14 million people crowding everywhere, having it take 90 minutes to drive 20 miles, the gigantic freeway systems. We'll move when it's time to retire, but I'm seriously afraid I will go mental if I have to stay here another 20 years! How do I deal with this? (It's impossible to find peace because the beaches, mountains, and parks are so dang crowded!)

My driving test is coming up soon. I suffer really badly, with nerves in test situations. As soon as i get in the car, anxiety takes over. I start shaking, and on a couple of occasions have been sick.

I drive perfectly with instructor and parents.

Can i take anything to calm me down? I don't really want to take anything strong.
Is there any Herbal stuff??? I live in england.

Please really need help. thankyou

Not an emergency or suicide type thing, just a number you can call to let it out after a bad day.

I am 28 years old and have been suffering from panic attacks/anxiety for 8 years. I have never told my doctor but I think it was induced by taking illegal drugs. I was taking ecstasy, cocaine, cannabis, speed, diazepan, alchohol etc for about 4 years every weekend and one night i was smoking a joint and to put it mildly I freaked right out. I have never touched illegal drugs since then and have been taking Anti Depressants and Valium etc since. I have never told my doctor what I think brought all this on and now wonder if its worth going back to him and telling him? Presumably the medication that he has been giving me for all this time is the same stuff I would be getting regardless of the catylyst?

My panic attacks are less frequent now however I still suffer from bad anxiety and am the most stressed out person in the world (it feels like that anyway) I have spoke to a Psychiatrist, a Psycholgist and they have never helped one bit. Any other similar experiences out there?

I understand it won't be the same for me, I am just looking for some ideas here to present to my doctor. If you also have anxiety, what has worked for you?

The last little while, i've been having these horrible vivid nightmares. I dream my husband leaves me, or that he's been cheating for a long time. And in the really bad ones, i dream that something horrible happens to him or my son, and they end up dying. All of these dreams leave me miserable during the day. Last night i had a dream that while my husband was watching my son, he got out of the house and was hit by a car. And I came home just in time to see the paramedics working on him. All i could do was go in the house and scream. They told me he would be ok, and then, sometime later they took him away in a body bag, saying there was a complication. It felt so real, ever since i got up I can't stop crying, I feel like i still want to just scream. I can barely help myself. I'm 25 weeks pregnant right now, my son is 18 months, and i'm afraid to sleep.I'm sure that by my reaction to this dream, i need to do something but what? I don't want the stress, and emotions to get out of hand.

I have a sister that is not the best mother in the world, she has been in and out of phsych wards, detox for prescription abuse. She has been diagnosed bi-polar. Here is the thing she has three small children under the age of 6; which I know she loves her kids but I just don't think that she or her husband are fit enough to take care of them. At the moment they are loosing there house, the children don't have beds and are in desperate need of dental work. I woudl not want to report them because I am mean, and I know my sister would be devastated I know she is going through rough times. However, I am overly worried about my nephews. What is there that I can do to help these children out. Is there programs that will help the kids without getting them taken away.

Please respond with sincere answere


Thanks everyone; and overly concerned aunt!

I know its a weird question but really, it is starting hit me already, because this didnt happen once but in my life time (am 26 years old) it has happened over 30 times already.

This is what happens, I go to sleep, my brain is very sharp and conscious in other word i know whats going on, Then all of a sudden I hear a very loud and increasing static noise RIGHT in my hear yes AND ITS INCREDIBLY LOUD, its so loud that scares me. Then after that I can't move a finger but I can open my eyes and I can see my room but only in a fixed position, in other words I cant move my eyes around. I swear I try hard to move but its impossible, then what I do is that I close my eyes because I can't take the noise, and after like 15 seconds (and I know it havent lasted more than a minute THANKS GOD) it goes away and the noise goes and I can move again.
I am throwing this here because i want to know if there is anybody that been there or you know something about it, that can help me out. Thank You

I can't even get to the doctor because it's causing me so much anxiety even thinking about going alone.( I am 23)I have thought about asking my Mom, but all she is going to do is throw it in my face that I shouldn't have done this to myself.This isn't the 1st time. It's almost like I am self destructive. What do I do? I can't stop freaking out because I feel like I am headed to rock bottom and nobody is there to catch me.How do I handle this? Please don't be rude because I am truly on edge here.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression and OCD about five years ago. I've gone through periods using SSRIs and periods without. I am currently switching from taking Effexor XR to Wellbutrin XL. The Effexor made me fatigued all the time, caused me to gain and hold onto weight---so I needed to switch. I'm curious to know people's reactions to Wellbutrin, especialy regarding their weight, and if anyone has noticed a difference between Wellbutrin XL and Wellbutrin SR. Thanks!

Since the seperation from my husband of 24 years I have been having lots of problems coping with life.

I see a therapist twice a month and am on anti depressants. I have been having suicidal thoughts for two months.

I finally have the means and the time in which to implement my plan but my survival instinct is getting in my way and it's ticking me off. It feels like 95% of me wants to move on to a hopefully better place but that blasted 5% keeps me grounded here.

The fact I am posting this to strangers speaks of my distorted thought process. I have friends too which I can reach out but I can't force myself to do it. Yes, I have tried countless times.

It is within my nature to hope and this glimmer of something good coming from all of this keeps me going day to day. Combined with my ability to survive I am not able to determine EXACTLY what I want to do. I feel like a suicide reject.

Can anyone offer something that may help?

I have been suffering from severe depression for a long while now, and I am totally at the end of my tether. Nothing is relieving it at all, and I'm getting worse every day. Has anyone suffered from depression and overcome it? How did you do it? :o(

Male/Female porn does not turn me on. I find it insensitive to a certain extent. I have no wish to ever have sex with another woman, but I find female porn erotic and very arousing. I am completely comfortable with my sexuality but was wondering if anyone else experiences this or has an insightful explanation?
