I've gotten help for my depression and have been taking the medication prescribed (lexapro) for about 2 weeks now. I only have my husband to turn to as my mother thinks that it is weakness to admit that you are depressed. I love my husband but I need advice from more then him.

I'm not feeling anything from the pills except the side effect including some that aren't warned about on the package (ie: hicuping no-stop, not being able to get comfortable, not being able to finish anything). I'm still feeling depressed and to top it off the suicidal feelings have returned. I know that it takes time for the medication to kick in but I am not comfortable to be alone...and my husband is off. Even going to store is too much for me to handle.

I just needed to know if I should call the suicide hotline or not. I know that I'm not planning to kill myself right now but I'm feeling like I'm going to hurt myself.

It is a week to the date that my friend took a gun to her beautiful face. It was the first time I was irate for someone leaving this world. I dont even understand. I just want to know that if someone has the courage to take their own life then why don't they have the courage to stay. I don't understand why I am so angry. maybe it is the the fact that her note said good-bye to me. That she left because "he" wouldn't be with her. Well I never got to say good-bye to her. She never let me have any warning. She never did anything.

My friend is 52 and had his stroke at age 47; He feels very useless and not much like a man. If I could find a support group with people his own age, I think he would do much better. Especially, if there were women his age in the group. Women tend to shy away from him because of his disability. (very little use of left arm and hand.
He just needs someone to talk to; we talk, but I don't understand everything that he is going through. I want to help him. Thanks for your help.

I have recently been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I have every single symptom 100% except for binge eating ( I tend to go in the opposite direction on that...). While this explains a lot to me, such as the fact that I'm not completly crazy, and that there are others like me....I feel lost. I have tried antidepressents (Citalopram) and that just screwed me up even more. Feeling pain and depression is better than feeling nothing at all.
Basically, what I'm trying to ask is, what should I do? Where should I go from here. Should I seek mental health treatment, or I don't know. Help.

I cut. There it's out there. Is there anyone out there who can make me feel better without telling me to get help. I hate my life and everyone involved in my life except my two best friends. I'm not going to sugarcoat it and say, " Im a sad depressed little girl boo-hoo." All I'm going to say is that my life is **** and I want to die alot. All of you out there are going, " Oh no! she's suicidal then you start typing 'go get help'
Please don't do this. I have gotten "help". And frankly it didnt "help". My shrink said i was unstable and prescribed me some drugs and thats it. He never once sat there and actually listened to me. All he heard were the words cut, death, and solution. Thats why I am here. To see if there are any people with heads on their shoulders who can tell me how to fix this problem without being a concerned citizen. Be blunt please. Tell it like it is.

ok so for 2 years i have had a slight problem hearing voices that weren't there. not constantly, but usually at least once every other day. and sometimes i see things out of the corner of my eye that once again aren't there. or i'll be freaking out thinking that there is a bug on me, when there's not. and whenever i am home alone, i get all freaked out and hate being by doors because i am scared that someone is going to grab me and kill me.
i am scared of the dark.
alot of times i will be thinking about something, and i force myself to think about something else, because i don't want someone to read my mind. same with my dreams.
and a few times i have been convinced that i was pregnant. but what's unusual about that is, i am a virgin. but i think oh what if a guy drugged me and got me pregnant and made me forget.
and i have no social life or social skills. i lose friends easily, and i have to have a routine. if my routine gets messed up, i can't think. i get distracted easily.

i had an evaluation last week and i told him all my symptoms about, not wanting to go out, and feeling full of anxiety and panic, i told him about feeling a great amount of anger inside that ive had for years and he said that all this is a result of what ive been through and my diagnosis is one of a personality disfunction, and he doesnt feel ive got depression..even though i told him my sleeping patterns are chaotic, awake through the night asleep through the day, and that ive not been out and done anything for weeks on end, but he still doesnt feel i have depression or any other diagnosis, except personality disorder and he refuses to perscribe an medication...im really worried now what should i do?

Before my dream I always thought about having a boyfriend and mostly because my friends had one. In my dream I was walking with someone and we were holding each others hands but I couldnt see his face, it bugged me for a long time because I didnt know why I dreamt this and a month or two later I was going out with someone. It didnt freak me out because I thought it was kinda cool if all my dreams were telling me something like that one did

I recently moved away from home to transfer to college(i went to community college for two years) but suddenly today i feel really depressed about how much things have changed. I think about how great things were a year ago, i compare it to now and all i see is myself alone in some strange town. I had a great girl friend, a great job, great friends, a great school and now it feels like that is all gone. What can i do? Is this normal?

I have reason to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that I have panic disorder. I have done research on several sites and I have all the sympthoms.
I have suffered from it for about a year and a half, but I didn't start considering the fact that it could be a disorder until recently. I want to be properly diagnosed so I can get some help, because it's been really hard to handle by myself.
The problem is that since I'm 16, I need my parents' permission to do anything about it, and they won't help me. They refuse to believe that there is anything wrong with me. My mom has even told me that I'm doing this to myself, asks me why I don't just stop it, so I just stopped telling her about my panic attacks and my fears. Now, if I bring it up, she says, "I thought you were over that." My dad hates going outside the family for help in anything. What can I do to deal with this disorder? I have cried countless numbers of nights in frustration. How can I deal with this?
