I have battled depression for a long time, more so since I got married 10 years ago. I'm working on myself, doing more positive thinking, trying to get my body into shape, etc. I just am not motivated to do much of anything. I just want to tell my brain to 'snap out of it' but it's kinda difficult.

I am on an antidepressant and have been to see a therapist (and a marriage counselor as well)

I take a lot of things seriously. I might freak out at something that was not intended to make fun of me, but as a joke. I remember a couple days ago my dad was joking around with me and I freaked out at him. He said he thinks my problem is that I think everybody is making fun of me when they're not. He said to joke back, but I told him I punch people instead, and that concerned him. I just hate when people joke around like that. I just wish they wouldn't even talk to me. I want to be alone for the rest of my life, because I don't think I'll ever have someone that loves me besides my parents. I don't want to get married because of commitment, my seriousness, and my occasional violence. I am also very shy and I don't like to do things that involve people I don't know. I don't like to talk that much. Do I have a social disorder or what?

How many people out there enjoy that UK program "How clean is your house"? It is one of my favorites. However, I was amazed and confused at the living conditions of some people! I wondered if there were any mental illnesses that would cause people to live this way. I found a site called 'squalor survivors' and it is VERY interesting. Many people living in terrible conditions suffer from chronic depression and behavoir disorders (hoarding, etc).

Does anyone here live in squalor or know anyone who does? If so, please check out that site. Sorry I don't have the site address but if you search squalor survivors you'll find it.

I'd really appreciate any comments, thanks.

Whenever I go to post something, I think that I see a little green button that says "Check Spelling."

Wait, though, It gets weirder!

It seems to me like when I push this button, the web page somehow reads what I have typed and tells me if I have misspelled any words, then it offers helpful suggestions!

Am I the only one who can see this button? Surely if it was really there, more people would take advantage of it to avoid looking like idiots, right?

Please help!!

Do you cherish and identify with your manic epesodies? My true self is manic and I welcome and enjoy my manic times, it's the depression I fear and cannot deal with. When I am manic I am most creative, most focused, and life is good, I am me, and when I start to slip away I loose myself and dont even see it happening, and suddenly I am someone else, is that how you are too?

I have a problem with good choices.

For example, I spend all my money on stupid things such as the bars, or cocain, or just blow it on other people.

Im the type of person who will give all and not ask for anything. I always burn my self and i can't stop. There has even been times where i had 19 in my savings account and i put a fake deposit in the atm just so i can get money out of my back that i do not have.

I know i have a drug problem and booze problem and i have been working on it successfully. but i can't not do the right things and pay what i need to pay even tho i tryed.

can mental illness be positive, like someone hearing voices but telling them to do good things or complimenting them or encouraging and praising them? or is all mental illness like sczhophenia all negetive?

My 8 year old seems to have a problem with authority. I know all kids are hard-headed to a certain extent, but i'm concerned, because a lot of what he does in my opnion is beyond being hard-headed. he lies habitually and laughs when I scold him. I mean it's hard to know when he's telling the truth! he has been tested for adhd and he doesn't have it. he is very disruptive in school and the teacher calls me constantly and she's at her wit's end, like me. he has been suspended at leat 4 times since school began.

He used to have imaginary friends, and he would talk to them and laugh like a lunatic with them. He literally would laugh until I would be climbing the walls! he talks to himself too, and he's been doing that since he was 2 and could talk? Does he sound like he needs help? What can I do for him? Does he sound normal?

I often get obsessed with characters in books, games, movies... , want to be like them, I go workout like crazy to look like them... after a while, this obsession is replaced with a new one, again something that occupies my mind the entire day and keeps me from doing anything else. I think I may be lacking some excitement in my life, though I don't know how I can bring excitement into my life. What should I do to have a satisfying and exciting normal life and be myself?

So much stuff is going on in my life and I feel completely stressed and lost. I feel very aggravated about the situations that are going on. I am loosing my mental strength to fight the situation. I have been completely betrayed. I feel this betrayal will make it hard for me to accomplish any goals. So I just have this feeling of giving up. I DO NOT want to kill myself, but I want to die. I just want something just to happen to me. (car accident, a sudden rare disease, something...) Is this normal? Are these the feelings that needs to be told to a psychologist? I am broke. I can't afford one, if I do need one. Bills will be more fuel to the fire. Will these feelings pass and I should be too worry about it?

I am a 26 year old male who is obsessed with finding a plan for my life. I don't feel like doing anything. I don't enjoy hardly anything. I quit my job and now I just walk around my neighborhood thinking all day and strategizing. I decided to quit smoking 4 days ago and have started integrating every new decision I make in to my life.

What does it look like in relationships, friends and family included? Also, I have been reading how diet is thought to affect the condition. Any correlation with sugar intake (weird, but wanted to know)?
