Weird our even crazy thoughts that come out of knowwhere. For example you are driving down the rode and out of knowwhere you think you are going to drive your car off the road but you know in reality there is no way in the world you would do such a thing, our thinking that you might hurt someone. I don't think it's a thought disorder since the person dosen't actually think about it's just psychotic thoughts that come out of knowhere. Really need help on this since I can't find anything that this classified under. Need help badly. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm so pessimistic now that I am afraid it has become something like a reflex reaction, like hitting your funny-bone. Whenever I spot George W. Bush onscreen or hear a millisecond of his pomposity and arrogant tone, then BAM my finger moves as quick as a lightening bolt to the mute button.

Is this a reaction that is similar in ways to shell shock?

All my life, somehow I just end up w lousy guys. I get to know them, put my trust in them, love them w all my heart, then watch 'em turn from nice guys into monsters, dey start treating me like trash, scold me, put me down, make me feel so low every time one leaves me i am broken and feel so worthless i ask ppl if i deserve better.
I read b4, u need to love urself to get gd guys... aft a 2yr depression (I rem i described it at tat time as a 'bottomless pit where there's no lifesavin rope to save me anymore - i gotta climb outta it myself'), i vowed nvr to get there or let any1 mess w me like tat again..aft tat, I actually found a man who really loved me, n still does.He's everythin i dreamt n all qlties the jerks dun hv.
But I still fell in love w someone else who showed me he was worth to put my trust in him, then suddenly treats me like trash again...
So do i never get anywhere? Is tat nice guy e 1 chance in my life to make it rite? Can i stil trust myself to find another gd guy?

She throws things, screams and yells when she doesn't get her way. Acts inappropriate in church and other social settings. Spends money she doesn't have, etc. Her own mother told me she was seeing what was going on and that it wasn't her daughter. As her mother in law I love her and want to help her. What can I do for her?

I think it is situational depression. My dad died a year ago, and I was very close to him. It was a great loss. My sister was diagnosed with frontal temporal lobe dementia (early Alzheimers). My 18 yr old daughter has moved in with the biggest skank in the county, She has no money, no job, no car, and is barely surviving with enough to eat. I think her boyfriend is peddling drugs.
I would like a natural remedy to help me. Does anyone know of any herbal remedies. The only thing that helps me now is my cute little doggie.

He also has ADHA, has failed 1st grade and is now 8 yrs old. Corpral punishment does no good, he doesn't care what you do to him or take away from him. He is not doing good in school and is very mean to his brothers and he thinks it is funny. I am worried because I am afraid he will hurt one of them. Please help.

So I'm pretty much sure I have BD. That is beside the point and I refuse to take medicine for it. What can I do to control the feelings of jealousy I have towards my friends? I get so angry when they succeed, like finding someone who likes them or getting new friends. I have next to nothing in the way of social-ness, what can I do to calm down and feel happy for them? I feel so guilty. When they get something I have wanted my whole life and deserve it, but I cannot be happy for them it makes me feel like crap. The current problem is she now has a boyfriend. I don't want him, he is not my type. I cannot get one of my own and am so VERY angry about the situation. Please do not suggest that I take medicine. Please do not mention the same cliches about blah blah blah...Thanks for your future help.

My grandmother passed away two summers ago. Since, things have spiraled WAY out of control. My mom listens to my grandfather's every wish, my father is a hard working man dealing with what he must in his daily life, my uncle works a small job as well, but has horrible lower back pains...

I go away to school, I'm home for winter break. I came back to see hands on what occurs on a daily (and nightly) basis. It's insane - 50+ calls a night sometimes. He's tearing my family apart limb by limb. My grandfather (84 ) was in assisted living b/c he was in a car accident AND needed QUADruple bypass heart surgery (@ the same time - you can imagine Christmas this year...)

Long story short, he's home and it's getting serious. My grandpa's live in nurses haven't been working out, he is a stubborn, off the boat, depressed, attention starved Italian man, and when my mother comes to me for help, I'm at a loss... He's taking over our lives and I need help from anyone who can assist - Thanks ~JBL~

One of my friends gives blood regularly. It's weird because she's deathly afraid of needles. They have to cover her arm, and everything so that she doesn't see it. She even freaks out when the prick her finger. I asked her why she still gives blood & she says it's sucks but she feels like she has too because she's type O and her blood is always in demand. I don't think she should do it anymore. I mean I understand but she's really, really scared, if they accidently show her the needle she'll start crying! Does anyone else think this is odd?

Doc said there was no real immediate threat, other than the contradicting affect it might have, but I was thinking it's probably not a great idea changing the chemical balances back and forth up in the old noggin and was wondering if any one knew of any studies pertaining to the subject.
