Help! My husband is severly addicted to diet pills. First it was ephedra and now he is taking Hydroxycut and Hoodia (and might be more). I know he is taking at least 8-10 per day. His behavior is off the wall...severly depressed , then manic, angry, and out of control.- he can't sleep. He finally admitted that he has a problem but just thinks he can stop cold turkey and says "yeah, right there is really a support group of diet pill junkies" .
What makes it worse is that he knows what herbals and any type of medication can do as he is a pharmaceutical rep.
This isn't just "i'm in a bad mood day". This is severly drastic from what he is usually like and every day gets worse.
Any suggestions on what to do?

A relative, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder (recurring thoughts
that he can't suppress), is choosing between Abilify and Zyprexa for
treatment. I need accurate information that would help him choose.
Specifically, how do the side effects of these drugs compare? and how
does their effectiveness against OCD compare? I understand that you
don't give medical advice; nevertheless I would appreciate pointers to
reliable information.

Is it normal for a 14 year old girl to be depressed? It hurts, it is hard to breath. My mom takes medication for it, could it be genetics? It is hard to fall asleep when i am depressed.

What the HELL do you feel like at the end of the day?

2006-11-29 11:34:07 · 12 answers · asked by Anonymous

I know how dramatic this sounds but I feel as though no one understands me. I mean..for a teenager I'm very emotional and think about things in depth so much more then others and no one seems to understand. Take for instance the fact that in Psychology 2 we were watching a video on massive killers and stuff like that and just imagining people screaming and fear and everything...made my eyes all watery. I think my teacher noticed but he always jokes around and he's like "She seems freaked out."he said that about me.

Another reason why I feel lost is because sometimes I feel like ...no all the time I know that i'll never find a boyfriend. I never had a boyfriend, I never danced with a boy, no kiss,no date,never been asked out. Anything like that. i'm in 11th grade and I feel like an outcast.

Also, one of my close friends i'm super serious with and other people I can joke around. I mean ever since I found out more about her it's like i'm so darn serious. (Continued)

Walking and talking??
I know this is gonna sound stupid, but for some reason, I can't do much talking while I walk! It's like, my friend was walking with me the other day, and I couldn't say anything! I don't know why. Even he said he noticed I was quiet when I walked with him. So do all my other friends too! I mean, I can talk, but I say stuff that doesn't make sense. Not gibberish or anything but you get the point. Oh, it only happens when I have some place to be. Like walking to my classes, that's the only time I'm at loss of words... AGH! It's so hard to explain! Anyways, I wanna know if other people are like this too. Do I have some kind of mental problem?

ok im 13 and some of my friends are saying they think i have schizophrenia but then i heard that schizophrenia isn't there until your in your old teens or early 20's so is it even possible that i could have it?
is it something thats genetic cause my dad has it?
and im not really sure what exactly schizophrenia is either so could you please make that clearer to me?
is it only voices in your head telling you to die
or is it also schizophrenia when you hear voices in your head telling you to do things that aren't always bad?
PLEASE HELP!

I have obbsesive compulsive disorder, and I have been going to a psycologist, but it has not helped at all. It interferes with my everyday life, and I cannot stop thinking about different things. I find myself washing my hands up to 30 times a day, so much that my hands are getting cracked. I worry about things like "if I dont do something, something bad will happen, making sure my lights are turned off before I leave, someone being mad at me, being depressed, school, my grades, germs, getting sick, getting germs on my things, chemicals, etc. I have noticed my grades slipping from A's to B's ever since this has been going on. I am currently seeing a psycologist, but he has not helped one bit, and dosent really talk about the things that are troubling me. I just want to take a medication, and be happier, and stop going to his appointments. Is what I have incureable, or is there hope? What should I do to stop worrying about things, and to have a better, happier life?

I'm on Prozac already and breathing techniques don't help me (they actually just make me worse by paying attention to how I breathe). I can't get up and walk around or scream or drink tea or any of those things. Any ideas would be VERY much appreciated.

I read an article in a magazine about how this gay guy was in denial about being gay and it started making me think that i was like,lesbian or bi or something and i have ocd so now im totally ocd-ing over it and i cant stop thinking about it. ive never really been attracted to girls or anything like that but since im ocding im starting to think that i am even though that i know that normally i dont. its like everything is contradicting itself.

ex: "well i normally dont even think of girls that way"

"are you sure? what if you do? yes you do,omg!"

-thats like my thought process. :/

its been three days and im thinking about it like nonstop.

before i also went though a phase just like this where i was convinced i was going to die.

do you think i am lesbian or bi or whatnot or is it just in my head?

i feel so sad and scared and, i respect lesbians and stuff i just wouldnt want to be one myself.

Why do I allow certain people (mainly this guy) to get me upset and mad all the time by his actions? He is this on again off again type and so I have such mixed feelings about him. There was a time I really loved him and now I seem to be so angry when he contacts me and starts playing games with me when I know I deserve better but there is no one else in my life.
