I should be really happy. I just graduated from college in May (1st in the family), have a great boyfriend, moved away from Oklahoma to New York, got myself a fat, lazy cat (that's asleep on the couch right now), but that's it, I'm not.

I love my bf, but I left my family behind. I like it here, but something is wrong with me. I was on antidepressants from age 16-19 (I'm 24 now) because of my depression, but the only reason I got them then was because the state paid for it (my mom never took us to doctors, I was the one who spoke to a school councelor because I had developed an eating disorder as well).

So, I SHOULD be happy. I don't want to move back to Oklahoma. I don't think that's the answer. I also lost the temp to perm job I had in the city bc they said I wasn't enthusiastic enough on the phone. So now, I'm looking for another job. I feel useless and worthless and I have mood swings ALL the time (like I'll start crying for no reason)...

Can you see the night-people? Late at night when the rest of the world is asleep, the night-people come and whisper to me. They say they need my help, but I don't know how to help them.

They say they need my help. And I need yours.

I've recently come out of a psychiatric unit, having tried to commit suicide. My Psychiatrist hasn't diagnosed me with anything yet. I think I am confusing him with my long list of symptoms, experiences. He seems to one day think I have Bi-Polar, and other days a Personality Disorder. I'm ordinarily not bothered about labelling myself, but if I am to be treated, surely I should know what I am being treated for ? My medication doesn't seem to be having much affect. Not sure that I can function for much longer with these constant changes in mood and feeling. Is this common amongst pre-diagnosis patients ?

When trying to overcome your food addiction, specifically to junk foods, have you ever cried when you were unable to eat your binge foods? It may sound silly to someone who has never had a food addiction, but it is so, so, very hard to break years of compulsive overeating. It's also not just about the food. When you're unable to overeat, all the emotions you feel are so overwhelming. I have hundreds of reasons not to overeat, and only ONE reason to continue, yet I just can't seem to stop. Also, when you eat to the point of being stuffed, you literally become numb, or at least dull the emotions, so being flooded with feelings I haven't had in years, is beyond description. I feel like an idiot talking this way about FOOD for God's sakes, but this is how I'm feeling right now. It's so hard.

my aunt has been taking medication for anxiety for over 20 years and the other day, she wandered to a stranger's house and didn't remember her last name and she was completely disoriented and confused. she had been out of her medication for awhile, but even when she does take it, she's been going out in the car to run errands or visit the family and winds up in other places. she gets delusional alot and just goes out of her head sometimes. i was wondering if the medication may have deteriorated her brain function.

Is it possible to develop ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyper disorder) after you are born?

I know psychologists say its not and that you are either born with ADD or ADHD or you aren't... But are there any studies proving you cant develop it? Could drug use cause you to develop ADD or ADHD? If you dont know for sure, I'd still like to hear your opinion!

Iv'e been asking before about whether or not Im depressed, and I've just decided that I am. But right now I have absolutely no feeling. I feel extremely empty. I dont wanna do anything. I don't care about anything. I don't know what I want. I don't even want to be happy. I dont want to sleep or anything. I'm just sitting here. Doing nothing. Meanwhile downstairs a whole bunch of crap is going on. My brother just got in a big fight with my step dad. I should be feeling sad or something. But I don't. The only feeling I have at all is hunger. I don't even feel like getting up to eat though.

"blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

thats how i feel right now

I've been a cutter for a long time now been on 6 lots of meds for depression. Coz I have been on 6 lots and they not worked my GP has taken me off meds and is now saying "well maybe your just a low person". But how can I be a low person when I'm not always low. My mood changes from 1 min to the next I would be smiling and happy 1 sec then the smile just drops just like that and I get very low and tearful for no reason. I panic a lot over nothing I could panic looking at the TV or on the PC I have been know to pass out with it. I have been sent to see Crisis Teams and CMHT for an asst many times. Nothing happens I get sent home the last time I went they send try going for a walk and eating better. But sometimes I'm to depressed to eat and when I try and go for a walk I panic at that time they did change my pills to Prozac but did not work so after that I tried to kill myself and they just said "well we could try upping your meds" that did not work in the first place. Then my GP took me off pills saying the thing. So since then I have had no meds and its getting bad again cutting deeper 6 times a day crying most the day. I work weekends but I go and I can start with being high and yelling and **** then the next min I'm so so low again I don't know when its going to change. When it dose I feel like I'm not me like my body is doing things and my brain is on the out side looking in. I do the most silly things like not looking when I cross the road, taking things out the oven with just my bear hands and I don't feel it till I come back down and hit the ground hard.
At night things happen a lot I have trouble sleeping bad I can sleep in the day no trouble at all. But at night I can't sleep so I go to bed late and I have to get up at 9 in the morning for my dog. I cut mostly at night I can see there getting deeper but I'm at the stage now where I like to see them deeper and to see the blood and I really couldn't care care less now. It’s a time where I feel at me lowest but can feel high and hyper but it don't last long and its back to being low. Sometimes I feel lost in myself like everything changes like I'm not myself no more. I don't know what to do with myself……………….

Therapy either. I keep hearing how degenerative the disorder is with myelin sheath problems and correllation with older age dementia. Any other suggestions beside exercise blah blah blah. I play hockey, eat right, take my meds at same time and still have killer anxiety and depression followed by a 180 degree spin to extreme anger and irritablility. Had it for 15 years, hospitalized twice for over a year, drug cocktail (xanax wellbutrin seroquel and lamictal) and it came back when I quit drinking. I was a boozer, and got off the meds. 5 yrs sober....
