I am not sure if I really do have it but it seems to me like I have the symptoms for it. I remember back to when I was about 4 or 5, I'd sit and watch my mom mop or vacuum the floor, and I had thoughts to myself that if she'd miss a spot, she would die. I'd get really uncomfortable if she'd miss a spot and it would bug me. I still get these things and have for as long as I can remember. For example, if I dont tap on the frames on the wall next next to my staircase before going up, something terrible will happen. I know it makes no sense but I have to do it no matter what. Another is when I was walking at school and there was a certain spot on the ground I just HAD to step on or I'd get uncomfortable, I didn't want to do it because I thought people would look at me weird. Theres a lot of other things too that I do throughout the day but it varies. Is this OCD?

My son is getting angry a lot, hitting, spitting, kicking, bad attitude , etc when asked to do things he doesn't want to do like clean up, for example. He is the same with parents, teachers and babysitters. However, he is pleasant at most other times. I wonder when the DSM-IV criteria kicks iin. Does it have to be constant behavior or is it a certain degree of behavior that makes this something other than a "phase"? He has a 9 month old brother as well. He also scrams a lot. I think its for attention ,but who knows.

I have too many problems to list. I have terrible self-esteem about my looks and personhood in general. I have anxiety that I can't control, so I'm always nervous. I'm severely depressed because I want to be in a relationship so badly and I can't find one. I have been working with OCD since I was about 15. I'm always angry or sad.

It's a vicious cycle: I can't find a boyfriend, so I become depressed, anxious, angry...Because of that, no one likes me as a person...so then I become MORE depressed. The cycle continues.

My sister is in therapy right now. I need it too, but my parents can't afford it, and neither can I.

I'm so miserable. Books and tapes are no help. How can I substantially change my life?

When i was young, someone jumped off our block and landed in a ugly mess on the ground floor.. I saw the dead body in a twisted form then in my early teens. Recently, i saw another scene of another suicide case at a block near me and following days later, i dreamt of strangers jumping off my block.. Help, i am tramatised and cant stop the visual image in front of me.. i'm my late 20s and very normal except for disturbing images appearing..

How can i self-cure?

Just wanted to get feedback from the anxiety program on conqueranxiety.com. I have tried the lucinda Basset one which didn't really help me all the much, I still have severe anxiety. I am talking to a Psychologist once a week which helps but I want to do more...

I've been told that I am bipolar. I feel that diagnosis is unfair. A person can only be strong for so long and eventually they crack. Yes, I'm broken but i'm not un-fixable. Why do the doctors want to label people who are hurting? You are not your diagnosis. They are only symptoms of a larger problem in the subconsious that needs to be fixed. If more people would read books like psycho-cybernetics and the power of positive thinking there would be less depression and more success. I believe the medicine is helping me long enough to work on myself and will not be a crutch forever. I will break free!

Is it normal to be nice one minute and nasty the next? Does this mean that if a person changes personality often, they may have a mental problem?

Do any of you blame your parents a lot for what you have become?
And what's the healthiest way to handle this?

I know there are many people that are mad at themselves because they are bad-tempered, or sloppy, or very shy, or financially inept,or whatever.
They are well aware of the problem and one day,either by themselves or with the help of a therapist, they realise their bad behaviour can be traced back to some flaw in their education or their relationship with their parents.
So they end up blaming it all on their parents and hating them no end.

The scary part about it is that most of the time the link between education and the bad traits later in life actually MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
But even so,blame and hatred themselves are not very helpful and won't solve the problem.

As you can imagine, I'm there, too.
And I would hate ending up being resentful all the time but never actually doing anything useful to change.

Have any of you been here yourselves? What's the healthiest way out?

Was it spur-of-the-moment, or something you planned and prepared for? When you knew you were going to die, what did you think or feel (if you can remember)? Were you scared, or relieved that you wouldn't be in pain anymore? Are you okay with the fact that you weren't successful? How did you resolve the moral dilema for yourself?
