I missed a lot of class and some assignments because I literally couldn't get out of bed for a few days this semester. I am seeing a therapist and she diagnosed me with major depression. I am trying to get better. In the meantime, there is another month left of this semester and I want to try to make amends. I am an all A's and B's student and it will kill me to get C's or D's when the reason for my problem is psychological. Should I tell my professors (who like me, I think) what the deal is? Or would that be too personal?

My husband left on Sturday night and stayed at his dad's he didn't come home till sunday at 10.30 ish pm.
I have bipolar and I had a bad episode (which I am still not over) that is why he left. I am English living in the U.S but i don't have any friends yet. I cannot drive either. I am home all day and look forward to my husband coming home. I try hard to take care of his needs every day by making his breakfast and lunch and then his dinner for him to come home to. I do all the housework etc and just try to care for him.
I feel very alone and isolated and my husband is being very mean. I am not on meds yet. I know I will be better when I am but I feel so upset with my husband for his treatment towards me when I need him the most. Can anyone help. Kind answers only please I cannot cope with more meanness right now.

I know it's normal to be depressed for such things such as
still born babies
close deaths in families
or even a pet dying

but can people be depressed for nothing?
i know depression is a chemical imballance in the brain,
so i guess i'm asking if a person that hasn't have any devestating events happen to them to still be depressed

I'm 25. I've been diagnosed clinically depressed for 12 years. I've been on Zoloft & Xanax for the really bad moments. I've been through counseling. I don't want to take medication anymore. I don't have insurance to get more counseling. I hurt so much. I need to know that this gets better & how. I just want to go away.

Why can't they speak out to someone they trust instead of writing them all down?
Or do they just don't trust anyone?

Thank you to those who replied to my previous question.... Very helpful!

Now any ideas how to deal with anxiety? I have had it for years and am truly fed up with it! Have tried drugs, therapy, etc but still it comes back! It makes me feel physically ill and mentally drained. I feel as if I am different from other people who live life without feeling anxious or unhappy.... and then I feel lacking in self esteem. Anxiety is really quite a crippling thing! Any suggestions on how to deal with it or should I just accept it and make the best of a bad situation?

Do you agree when non bipolars are receiving advice not to marry bipolars?

What if you have someone close to you who is bipolar and decide to marry a non bipolar?

Would you then give the same advice?

OK, my girlfriend wants to break up and I respect that except that she says that it is because we have different taste in hobbies and music. I think she really is breaking up because she is Very social and adaptable and I am actually a little shy and I try to fit in with her friends but I am not as involved in the conversation (she says). Do you think that she is breaking up because of this (like the hobbies and music are just a front). I respect that she wants to split up. Should I get counseling to be more outgoing or are girls okay with a guy who is not super outgoing? Also if so, I am interested in meeting a girl who is, even within a few hours of me is okay (Atlanta).

I have anxiety and depression, I have been prescriped Prozac. I orginally started with 20MG, but I am very phobic of Meds so I had them lower the dosage to 10mg. I have not taken them yet, my boyfriend keeps pressuring me to take them. But, I really want to overcome this with out being dependent of medicine. I know that the meds are a crutch to get over the hump. I am activily going to therapy once a week. I know the meds are good, but I cause my self to have aniexty attacks when I am on them.
Has anyone had this or overcome the two without medication? Input/experiance/thought are appreciated!

Thank you!

Is it possible that similarly our external environment can take us out of an episode too. For example if my husband is mean to me and I am already showing signs of stress or irritability that can be the trigger that pushes me into an episode. If he wasn't mean and nothing else happened I may be able to hold it together.
If my husband says sorry and tells me he shouldn't have said it and is tender then I can sometimes come out of it.
What do you think based on experience and knowledge?
No cruel or sarcastic answers please.

I am generally "down" and have a really hard time motivating and getting into a productive "mode." I also feel that my life is a completely tragic disaster. But, sometimes I just get so fed up with things that I "lose it" and go off on people. Does this sound like mania, or related to depression? I am trying to guage whether I am simply depressed, or bipolar.

If you or someone you know have been a victim to this illness, did you or the person you know, get help? I just watched this show on HBO called "Thin" and it's very sad, how the girls on that documentary are thin, but still convinced that they are fat.
