I can quit. I have stopped before, but it is my BIG vice. My husband smokes and that does not help, plus I have bad anxiety problems. I know that nicotine is bad for anxiety, but when I get mad or worried I seem to smoke more. Plus I smoke a lot when I am on the computer. What can I do to finally quit. My Birthday is Friday and doing this for myself would be my best gift ever. So what should I do and how do I not give in to my crutch? Should I just smoke a few a day or go cold turkey again or pray reverently. AWWWWWW I am so confused. I was thinking that maybe posters all around the house would remind me of all the negatives about smoking. Hmmmmm.....

Or at least a tendency towards it? Sometimes I worry that if I leave something out that someone might trip over and get hurt so I always worry about me doing something that will hurt someone else. Sometimes I have to repeat a word to myself until it sounds or feels right. And I'm always checking and rechecking stuff that does NOT need to be checked. For example, I will pack my toothbrush with my luggage, and even though I know it's there, I still have to check to be SURE. And I have to check like five times that I have the keys in my hand before I get out of the car. It's just weird. And if I move or do something and it doesn't feel right I have to do it again until it feels normal. What is this?

I was diagnosed with Bioploar type 1 recently. Does anyone have personal info on this? What meds you are taking, do they work, what are side effects?
I'm a 25 yr old new mother to a 5 month old. I started taking Seroquel as part of a research study. This drug makes me SO tired, even when I take it before bed. It makes me have the most bizzare dreams too. And I wake up with a metalic taste in my mouth.
Should I drop the research program? I am uninsured and I just want to feel normal, and act that way too.
Any input will be helpful.
Thanks!

when I sleep and fight sleep till I'm exhausted and force myself to go to bed. Which is kinda funny.......when I was much younger I used to love sleep and sleep as long as possible. Now as I am aging, it's just the opposite. I really hate that I have to miss moments of my life to have to sleep. Anyone else hate to have to sleep?

My friend and I are in the accelerated math class. We both struggle, but I struggle because I have trouble in lots of classes. But she is really smart in all the other classes. I want to know if she is struggling in math because of the OCD. Thanks!

My husband's doctor switched him from Effexor 300 mg a day to Bupropion 300 mg a day. The doctor didn't say anything about tapering off the Effexor. Is it safe to just switch and are there side effects if you do?

This is supposed to be a well known high security hospital. I was just wondering what actually happens inside of a place like this.

1. Does it have padded cells and straight jackets?
2. Are the patients used to test new drugs on?
3. Are the patients always 'doped up'?
4. Is there lots of corruption - rape, bullying, drugs, cover ups etc

Can anyone tell me real answers to this please?

Hi

I have Bipolar and have been receiving treatment for over 4years now. I know that the elderly suffer from depression, but I have not wittnessed an elderly person with Biploar. I worked in hospitals, clinics and I never really saw anyone over the age of 60 with the disorder. My doctor says that Bipolar gets worse with age ! Is there a chance that Bipolar can lessen with age and actually go away?

I talked to my doctor today about my drinking problem. I want to stop drinking, but I know it's going to be hard. (I've tried before with no sucess) I asked her about medications to help me get through the process and she told me about Campral.

I didn't start taking it yet because my doctor wants me to get my depression under control first (apparently Campral can worsen depression, which isn't what I need right now.) So I'm taking a new antidepressant and going back to my doctor in three weeks. Then we'll decide about the Campral.

So in the meantime, I've decided to research it a little. If you know about it, or if you've taken it, I'd appreciate any imput.

Thanks

I'm 27 with 2 well behaved children and a great husband. My problem is that over the past couple of years I have been sinking into some different state of mind. I'm constantly contemplating death and things that really don't matter in the moment and i'm preoccupied with the wrong thoughts. When i'm in a good moment I resolve to try and keep my mind off my mind but after I wake up the next day, I just fall back into the same patterns. I've tried zoloft and it made me feel extremely homocidal. I have also been prescribed wellbutrin which caused me to have seizures.. So i'm afraid to try anything else until I can keep my family safe from me and me safe from the drug in a controlled setting. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

My gf is a tricky one. I don't want to change her, but I want to know what could be going on w/ her so I can offer the best support I can, and she's really locked up about something. We talk about stuff like this and inevitably, she just almost freezes. We have made it a little further into discussions over time, which is why I want to keep this up. My question is, what sorts of thins, irrationally strong emotions, tendencies, and (big one for me) relationship patterns might one taking berevemant especially hard experience/display? She lost her father several years ago (car acc.) as young girl.
