I have been in two car accidents in the past 2 years and now just the thought of getting in the car when i know there is going to be heave traffic terrifies me, my bf tries to help but i know it irritates him and distracts his driving. I have tried keeping myself occupied but as soon as those brakes go on im fully concentrated on what the car in front, behind and on the side of us is doing. It gets so bad that sometimes i start to hyperventilate and feel faint and sometimes i cry.....if we have to stop suddenly all i can think about is the noise and pain from the impact of a car accident, and i dont know what to do, its affecting both me and my bf.

If you're feeling down, do you have ways of making yourself feel better? Music does it for me a lot. Enya is therapeutic for me.

When a person passes away do you believe they can come back and haunt you/check up on you. My dad past way in May, my lights and t.v. sometimes turn themselves on and off. My mom's fan turns it self on and off also. Once I put my daily medication on the counter like always. I went to the bathroom, when I came back they moved to the other side of the kitchen? Is this really my dad? Thanks

Help please.
This is no joke, and I can't actually believe I'm asking this here.
I have researched the stages of depression out of personal interest, and recently read an article in a good magazine about it.
I've been very down and out, for about six years, and from the details and signs, I have a strong belief that I'm suffering from bipolar depression.
How do I get my parents to take this seriously?
They're going through a lot of stress right now, and I don't want to upset them even more.
Is it possible for me to ease my symptoms or cure myself with doing certain things? Like things I enjoy doing, only doing it more often, like painting or writing? Or should I get professional help?
I believe in the latter more right now, since the other one has ceased to help.
I'm not suicidal, truly. But I do feel that dead people are so lucky.
I simply feel hollow, yet bursting with emotion at the same time.
It's difficult to explain.

I'm bipolar and have been off meds for a year now since I found out that I was pregnant. But now I'm noticing a lot of mood swings and some self harm thoughts coming back after being away for a little more than a year and a half. What should I do? I know that meds are best but I hate taking meds I've been doin it since I was 13 years old and I'm 25 now...What do I do?

Sometimes I feel really depressed but it sort of comes on in waves, I don't know if what I am experiencing is just normal or if I am in denial about being depressed. For instance yesterday I was thinking about my life and got really depressed and cried myself to sleep but upon waking up this morning I feel fine and I can't remember why I was so upset? I don't know if maybe I was just having a bad day yesterday or if those were my true feelings coming to the surface and I am trying to suppress them. Does anyone else ever feel this way?

I know this is going to sound bad, but should you ever feel sorry for a bipolar person. As if you really care for them then they could manipulate you

If I eat chocolate or drink anything with caffeine now that I've started taking wellbutrin, my hands get pretty shaky. Wellbutrin alone doens't make me shaky. Anyone else experience this?

We have a drug for everything. A pill if you poop too little, a pill if you poop too much. A pill if you can not get an erection and a pill if you can not have a female orgam. You name it, there is a drug for it. But here I am talking paticularly about mood stabilizing drugs.

Now don't get me wrong, there are many people who truly need some medication.

But, there are even more people who take mood stabilizers and DO NOT need them, they just take them because they are not "feeling up to par lately" and because thier doctor scribbles an RX and sends them on thier way.

Anger, confusion, depression, sadness, mourning....these are all NATURAL FEELINGS OF LIFE.

Why do so many doctors try to mask them with chemicals?? Furthermore, why do so many people act like sheep and take whatever a doctor tells them to?

I made a huge mistake, got drunk and went to a family function.
My cousin, who I am close too, like a second sister, was sooo angry at me. I was wrong. I admitted it, I called everyone to apologize guaranteeing that lesson was learned and not to do it again. My cousin still will not speak to me, I have tried and tried.
She won't return my calls, I told her I loved her and didn't mean to hurt her and apologized from the bottom of my heart. I am so upset, I can't eat, I keep wondering how I can fix this. It is driving me crazy ...She doesn't want anything to do with me.
Help!!!!!!! I want some sanity here......

My dad commited suicide when I was 12. He was in the hospital for a week, and one day i didnt go see him because i had church. The doctors released him from the hospital, and i cooked dinner that night. I made pizza, but i burned it. The next morning i went to school, and he went to the golf course by our house, and shot himself. I feel like im the one that has put our family through all of this, like it is all my fault.
