Can a person cycle from depressed to normal and back again? Is bipolar always an extreme in both directions or can it be from normal to mania/normal to depressed only?

I have known 2 men with ADD or ADHD who claim they can ejaculate without even touching themselves. This just seems odd to me, & I was wondering if there is some connection to them both having the AD(H)D?
Any ideas, or anyone else with it willing to come forward? How does it work?

I find myself having crying fits and rage now that I am off Zoloft. I think I want to go back to taking it just to control my emotions. But the reason why I stopped taking it because I could not feel anything I was in a trance I know only my opinion counts on what I want to do or handle my situation But its would be nice to know how Zoloft has affected others negatively or positively.

it is such a common notion that mentally ill people choose to be ill.......i've had anxiety and depression most of my life.....why would i choose to live such a difficult life???.....yet that is what is constantly suggested....
"get over it"
"move on"
"knock it off"
"think positive"
"your life is a lot better than many other people"
"maybe if you just got some exercize"
"quit feeling sorry for yourself"
"just do it"
"snap out of it"
"everybody gets stressed out"
"suicidal people are selfish"
"every body gets the blues"
"life isn't that hard"
......as if a person can just "will away" an illness....sure, you can lift yourself out of an ordinary funk-but that's different than real depression.....no-one thinks you can just will-away cancer...why do they think that mental illness is not a real disease and rather a weakness?????

Okay... I have been depressed all day long. not a happy thanksgiving at all. I have known this older man that works at a gas station for about 2 months. and he is dying of cancer. I cried over him today... and I have been snapy and mainly depressed. How in the world do I become happy again? I was the same way yesterday. I have been taking it out on my boyfriend too.

Any happy songs?

Suggestions of something to get my mind off of it ?

Happy thanksgiving to all of you!

I'm not bullemic or whatever, i was just wondering for people who suffer with this

do they throw up after every meal they eat? once their body gets use to it, does it come naturally?

hopefully this makes sense! i am also not thinking about doing this, just out of curiosity, thanks!

I read a lot that someone says that their loved one committed suicide and was just being selfish by doing so. Is it more selfish of a person to take their life and end a misery that nothing else seems to fix or is it more selfish to say that that person was selfish in taking his/her life and he should've "stuck it out"?

ive just been told by the school nurse to go see an out-of school councillor. i self-harm and i'm thought to be depressed. i've been working with people at school for a while now but it's not realy helping. i'm not sure if i want to go to this councillor/therapist though. i dont like talking to people and aren't very good at opening up. i'm very much a person who kelps themselves to themselves.
i have to make a desicion though.

any advice? also any experience with councillors and stuff i would be very grateful for (i.e. what happens, what they ask)
i have no idea what to do or say if i go. i'm really worried what it's going to be like.
please help. xx anything is much appreciated.
thanks xx

I have many extremely detailed dreams every night. When I wake, I can go on for hours detailing every aspect of each dream. And each night I talk and yell in my sleep. Sometimes I can hear myself talking. I will wake myself up. I continue talking while I am waking up. I also have terrible, terrible nightmares as well. I am angry and violent in these dreams. It is stange because my life is calm and I have no stress. I work part time out of my home doing what I love. I have a great marriage. No children, no financial worries. I have everything I want. I don't drink. Basically, I am quite happy. I can't figure out where the sleep talking and the nightmares come from. Any ideas how I can curb this?

You see all these websites and shows talking about natural cures and ways to detox the body. One theory i read somewhere was that depression can be cause or made worse by the overgrowth of yeast in the body(e.g. GI tract) and the toxins/irritants they produce. Is this all a bunch of b.s.?

Right now it seems practically everyone that is near and dear to me is going through some major trouble, either sickness,loss of loved one or serious money trouble. My life is good and I am happy in my life, but it is wearing me out to see those I care about hurt. What do you do? I pray and that helps but whatelse can I do?

What has a more social stigma to it. Being alchohol dependant or drug dependant? In my opinion being addicted to alcohol has more of a stigma to it. Whats your opinion? Thank you.
