I was diagnosed about a month ago with anxiety/panic disorder and depression. Since i started taking the Klonopin(after the numerous others that made me sick), the last week i feel really dopey....tired all the time, clumsy, forgetful. I'm not sure if it's because i don't take vitamins, or if it's the medicine or if i have something else wrong with me or if im just worrying about every little thing. I'm always paranoid something else is wrong with me. Am i the only one in this world who has this problem? Can anyone help me?

My father is an alcoholic all though since he's a functional alcoholic my mother refuses to believe me. Last year his doctor gave him Wellbutrin to help him quit smoking. It didn't help his smoking but he felt better on it and nicer to be around. The doctor said he had depression and kept him on it. A few months into taking it, while drinking, he snapped. He didn't hurt anyone but he was paranoid and argued. The doctor took him off it and put him on Lexapro. Again he was on it a few months and then because of his drinking snapped. It was much worse and he got a little violent, nobody was seriously hurt but the cops were called. He was taken off Lexapro and my mother and him decided he shouldn't try anything else.
I recently read about chronic depression (Dysthymia) I think it might be what he has. The symptoms sound right. He's miserable to be around I have no doubt he should be on something. Is there anything safe he could take with his drinking? Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

I'm 18 now. But in the 7th grade I began having depression, not bad enough to notice but it was there. In the 8th grade I began hurting myself by using an eraser to erase my skin. 9th grade I tried to commit suicide. But for the next year a half after that I was fine. But around the end of my junior year I was starting to get depressed again and only just recently things have gotten horrible. I was told that I might have hyper vigilance by my psych prof. which means I hear and see things but don't have schitz. But just recently I looked at my dog and spaced and when I came to I was trying to drown her in the tub and the night before I was planning on how to commit suicide. I'm scared to just sit and think anymore, I won't go to bed until I'm exhausted because I don't want to lie awake and let myself think. What should I do? Whats going on? I'm terrified of myself.

Hi guys. I have recently found out that my fiance' was diagnosed with depression and his doctor put him on Lexapro. I've heard good things about it and even my mom is on it and she does very well with it. I do have a question. In time and once you've been on it for a while, is Lexapro a medicine made to permenantly cure depression? I know it helps balance out the chemicals in your brain but does it help cure depression for good? Please help...

I am very angry with my self right now. I have been making something for a friend for christmas and I have had to start over 7 different times because I made the same mistake each time. I'm not learning from my mistakes. I find myself getting annoyed by people very easly, I'm not watching what I'm saying. I look out the window all day and wish for the day to be over just so I dont have to listen to the people around me. I feel fat but I know that if I lose more weight people will worry. Im thinking of Bulimia because of it, Im thinking of cutting or just played old suicide. But last month I was happy. I felt thin, pretty, and I felt like living. I loved being around people, I didnt mess up on things and if I did then I learned from them. I dont know what's going on but I really wish it would stop.

Okay first of all I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 8 years old; I have never gotten any treatment. My mom also took me to the doctor for OCD or tourettes syndrome. She tends to think there is a lot wrong with me. But I do think that there is something not quite right, but I'm not sure what. I am 13 female and I have done a lot of research on me mental disorders, but I can't really find any thing that describes me. It is very well possible that there is nothing wrong with me and I'm just a bit of a hypercandreat (sp?). Here are some "symptoms:"

Physical:

Increased heartbeat (or it feels like it, I also have and irregular heartbeat, witch might contribute to this.)

Sweaty palms

Weird breathing (short of breath, deep, find it hard to get a breath.)

Mental "symptoms:"

Hyper

Unorganized thoughts/feelings

Impulsive

Feel the need to do certain things (ex. run my hand down my nose, Rub me wrist together, and yes I am aware that I'm doing this, and can control it

have what is called a hypnofetish, meaning I get aroused when I see an attractive person being hypnotized. It's not the mind control aspect, I just like the induction, watching the eyes close and seeing them drift off. I am fine with other sexual stuff and am turned on by normal stuff (aside from this) so..my question is why am I so messed up and should I seek help or is this just harmless. Like...I don't care about the actual hypnosis...I just like the eroticism of the "you are getting sleepy stuff" what should I do. Thanks.

It's been almost a year. I've been really depressed, but I kinda hide my feelings from everyone. I tell myself everyday that I'll go to the doctors and have a chat with them, but I'm some what scared and don't really know how to say it without bursting into tears. I don't really know why I'm depressed. I guess I think life sucks?? My dreams went down the drain! I was supposed to leave for boot camp for the Coast Guard late July. Soon before that I found out I was disqualified for my heart. So I had my heart checked out by a doctor around me and they said nothing was wrong! The Coast Guard still refuses me. I suppose that plays apart in it. Advice anyone, everything helps! Thanks!

I have been screwed out of alot, namely college. Blame someone else? Who is to blame? It has been like this all along. It's a catch-22. Can't afford a college education because I can't get a high enough paying job that requires a college education.

I get really pissed when I am at work stuck in my crappy job.

anybody suffering with a loved one with paranoid schizophrenia? My brother started showing symptoms about 3-4 months ago. He is getting worse very quickly. He now thinks the devil is controlling everything through other people. He can no longer watch tv because the devil controls it. He said I may even be the devil. There is no reasoning with him. I understand the disease, my mother also suffers from it. She fortunately found help through womens shelters after being homeless for years, hitchhiking across the country. My brother is only 23, I hate to see this happen to him. I fear for his safety, and others. Please help.

I took an indepth adult IQ test about a month ago, and supposedly I scored unbelievably high... high enough to get into MENSA. The problem is, the person who tested my IQ wouldn't tell me what I actually scored, and my parents won't tell me either.
I feel as if I have a right to know, because it's my IQ and I spent 6 hours getting tested... the problem is, I'm only 16 so it's not as if I can go and check my file or anything.
Do you think I should be allowed to know, and/or there is a way I could possibly find out? If you think I shouldn't be allowed, could you tell me why you think that?
Thank you!

Sometimes at different parts of my life, I remember something bad that someone did to me, and I feel like confronting them or doing something about it. Does that mean I’m not over it or I’m holding a grudge? If so, what would you do in my place?

I guess it also depends on if it was a big deal or not. But sometimes it just bugs me to a point where I’m losing sleep! Is this normal? If not, can anyone help?

Keeping busy doesn’t really work as I’ve found out, because it comees back later after I’m not. Any suggestions?
