She is in denial about the diagnosis and continuously goes off of her meds. & tries natural supplements in place of. She is convinced that it's a mis-diagnosis. I have tried to tell her to get a 2nd opinion as she doesn't really like her current Dr. so I'm hoping that might help if she pursues another Dr.

Shes 12 yrs old. She tried to kill herself. She made up all these lies about EVERYTHING.... She threw a butcher knife at her brothers friend, she poured gasoline all over her little sister and tried to light her on fire. They took her to a psychiatric center last night because noone knows what is wrong with her. Everyone thought she had ADHD at one point, but at the center was diagnosed as NOT having ADHD. She said that her best friend died when she was only 5, shes talking about my mom. It KILLS me to watch her suffer like this, and moreso because I still suffer from the loss of my mom...EVERY DAY I SUFFER. She is so beautiful, even won modeling contests and was given several acting opportunities. But my sister (her mom) wouldnt let her do those things because of her grades, and I completely agree. Shes been getting F's. She beat up her best friend, and said her friend started it, but her own brother who was there said they were just watching tv when she attacked her. WHAT IS THIS?

I am still white knuckling my way through this onset of depression and the meds (SSRIs) won't kick in for another 2 weeks. I don't know if I can make it as I have overwhelming waves of grief and hopelessness. I see the psychologist this week. I am trying to act normal (the fake it til you make it routine), and although my concentration is poor I try to read and listen to the tapes on relaxation,etc. It is winter where I live and cold!! I see no reason to hang on yet I keep waking up every morning by sheer will power, but it is running out quickly.
Who is out there that understands my situation and may have something to offer in the way of encouragement or a personal story? I am in dire straits. I have lost everything and the pain I feel is so overwhelming that I fear I can't manage it nor live through it until a brighter day comes.

I posted a question before about being saved and contemplating suicide. Most of the answers told me to talk to someone or focus more on my faith. But my circumstances force me to live in sin in order to stay in school. So, I can't praise GOD then go home to my boyfriend, because we cant afford to get married (not even at the courthouse) and that's a sin. I don't have any family, only one friend and my boyfriend. But they get too sad for me to burden them everytime I mention suicide. I am in college and work, only to live paycheck to paycheck. I don't have enough money to go to a psychiatrist; even with they "sliding payment" scale that one doctor offered me, I can't afford it. I can barely afford to get to school and work everyday and put food in my mouth. Any links or numbers to free counseling in Houston, TX would be GREATLY appreciated and literally a life saver.

the first anxiety attack i had was i was at a football game, i started to get a headache then nauseaus, i walked to the bathroom, i was blacking out the whole time i was walking..i sat on the toilet i was sweating horribly, seemed like it was coming out of every pore in my body, i was throwing up and was having bowel movements it also felt like small needles were sticking me from the inside out. i felt like it was because there were a lot of people around me and i was getting closed in, but my God, why would all this happen due to me being closed in??? i went to the doctor, i have been on paxil, lexapro and prozac none of them worked. i take zanex when i feel it coming on, but i dont want to be addicted and i heard zanex makes you fat. i get plenty of rest and i take a multivitamin. i dont have time to exersise and i dont have the money for a phychiatrist. someone-please tell me what i need to do to be normal again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel fat and ugly.
I feel as though my friends are superior to me in every way. I don't perform very well at school, and after one whole year's worth of hard work, I still fail math despite having $350/mth worth of tutions 3 classes a week. Due to this I tend to break down and cry very often.
Now, I don't like going out, I feel as though everyone looks down at me.
I can't take little fights with my mother, I've started completely not talking to her because she makes me feel stupid.
I feel upset and sick of myself and I cry more than half my day away.
I feel useless and I know I'm set to be a looser in everything I do. I believe I don't have a future.
Crying seems to be the only thing on my mind.
I really don't like talking to people any more.
I wish everyone would stop talking to me. I'm disgusted by myself.

I am 28 Married Female who has been involved in an affair for the last year with an older man (54). This man is often referred to as a "Saint" as he is very active in the local community, and at my Temple. I met him at Temple, and worked with him on a committee, and that is how our relationship started.
Our relationship was made public when we were seen in public together, this man claimed that he was helping me, and I acknowledged our relationship. The Saint was believed and now many people think I am a stalker or a whore. My husband knows about the relationship and for money reasons, the 2 of us cannot divorce at this time.
I have been thinking about packing it all up and moving 1000 miles away so I could start over and get my life back. I just think that everyone around me would be better off without me, and I would be better off in an area where people don't know my history where I can start over. I feel all alone and crazy. I have no family or friends for advice.

I am on risperdal and prozac, my memory is shot and I cant focus on anything. it has affected my job adn home life, my wife says I get these dazed looks on my face, my buddies at work tell me I always slur my speech and my boss has told me some clients arr complaining that I dont even seem to be paying attention to them when they talk to me. I of course do not see any of this and thought I was acting normal the whole time. I went back to the shrink and told him of these issues and he said lay low at work and keep on taking what you are taking. two more talks from my boss again got me scared (he now knows I am on meds and so does everyone else ) anyways asked a friend that I knew had problems and he said that his DR gave him ritalin and this gave him his focus back. I bought some ( without prescription ) and tried them. they worked great. I wenback to the shrink and told him what I did and he said that was the worst drug I could have taken, he said just to stay what I am on. help?
