if you decided to change who you are and found suddenly that all along you were pretending you were someone you werent would you confide your discovery with everyone, just a few people or no one? who would you tell specifically?

I used to cut myself but my sister found out and told me I could no longer see my niece if I continued . Since then I was ok I was happy but then I started to feel pain again I don't feel anything anymore . Im never happy im never sad I sometimes want to die . I know I believe in god but I don't feel like I do . I don't know what to do I know what I believe in I want to go to heaven but I find it difficult to pray lately . I wish I could feel something I want to cut myself to see if I still feel . What should I do ?

I have not been able to sleep much anymore at night. I will lay in bed at night with the tv off for an hour and still not feel sleepy and it will be 12 am.

I have tried going to lay down earlier, music, and tonight i am trying camomile tea.

This has been going on for weeks on end and it just keeps getting worse

Ambien was perscribed to me, well, the generic form of it, whatever the name is... I don't remember... & It doesn't do anything for me, nothing, I can take 2 or 3 of them, and it doesn't effect me what-so-ever, I feel nothing from it.

I've had a history of drinking alot, and almost died from it over the summer with "Severe Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis." Major surgery and a medical miracle helped me pull through, i'm not allowed to even have one sip of alcohol for the rest of my life, and I used to drink 2 fifths a night.

Anyway, I contacted my doctor, and let her know, she said she couldn't perscribe me anything stronger, but, she can refer me to another Dr. that can get me something stronger...

Just wondering if anyone has any clue on what I might be in store for... Is there anything stronger than Ambien, for sleep?

They also tried inducing me in a coma when I was in the hospital, and had a rough time... Any info is helpful!

What has been your experience with prozac? I started it two month ago. When I first began taking it I thought I could tell some difference. I wasn't sleeping so much, had more energy, and I seemed to be less dependant on starbucks. My husband and I have been getting along so much better too. Also, my sex drive decreased, which wasn't so bad because before it was Insatiable. Overall I feel less depressed, but I'm not sure if its the meds or my life in general. I have a new job that I love that I started about the same time I started the meds. My job is demanding which keeps me busy, which keeps my mind occupied (less time to be depressed)....but now I'm back to sleeping all the time, drinking more starbucks then I was before, and back to my old low level of energy. I'm still not depressed, but also not happy. The sex drive is still down, but I don't know if its the Prozac thats keeping me from depression and killing my sex drive or if its my new job that keeps me busy 10 hours + a day.

i think there is something wrong with me, like i have to do things over and over again until it is perfect.

For example, if i am writing an essay i have to retrace words again and again till they look right
I also find myself counting the number of steps i take for example i can only take 2,4,11, or 22 steps in a room because these numbers are lucky
I also have to touch things like my food twice with each hand before i eat it
If i look at the clock and if the it is anything with a thirteen in it i have to stare at the clock and only blink twice until the unlucky minute has passed, like if it is 5:13 when i see the clock in need to stare at it till it is 5:14
when i wake up i always need to put my right foot down first
i have to arrange my pillows in a certain order before i can sleep
i have to make sure my right and left half is "equal", if i touch something with my left hand, i have to touch it with my right
if i touch anything with my knee down i have to count to 22InMyHead

I've been suffering from depression over the last few months now and have lost my passion for life/work (all things). I'm thinking of resigning from my job in order to take some time off to get well again. What should I do? I'm confused. I must make a decision very soon.

Okay, I'm a 16 year old girl. I'm balancing going to 2 different schools, an alcholic mother, failing classes, having rumors spread about me, I have no social life and everything is expected to be great with me from my grandparents. I think I may be suffering from clinical depression. There is a history of it in my family. I can't hardly sleep, I zone out alot, have a loss of concentration, and I have very bad mood swings and constant headaches. If I tell my grandma, I don't think she'll take me seriously. What should I do? I don't trust anyone else but her.

I do almost everything slowly and get it done right, If I do it fast I screw it up. I suffer from cronic depression/axiety and wonder if this is typical. My most recent problems concern work (I stock shelves at Wal-Mart) where they tell me I do a good job but am not fast enough. Of course I don't really like the job, I don't like anything unless it is somehow intelectually stimulating. I don't think of myself as lazy but am not sure what to think.

I have to do oral presentations in the program I am involved in. Long ones to, only catch is that I get panic attacks where I freeze and cant move and social anxiety about it. It seems to have control of me. I am so super unsure if this is an achievable goal of mine. What suggestions and other stories do people have. I feel so alone here. I know many people suffer from this but I feel like it's not as bad as what I experience. Help!!

My Dad passed away two months ago, my Mom's on disability and I am the only one who is able to work since I have no siblings. I had a dr.'s appt. today to discover that he recommends knee arthroplasty for a torn meniscus, and release of a pinched nerve. How can I possibly consider surgery when I have a mortgage to pay? How much more must I deal with?? I already live from pay check to pay check. I can't afford to miss work but I'm told the damage in my knee won't get better on it's own either. Please tell me what I should do?? I don't want to end up homeless or unemployed.
