If you've put a lot of time and thought into it, do you need to find someone you trust and at least tell them what's about to happen before it does?

I have been taking Wellbutrin XL (300 mg) for about 2 weeks so far. I'm very pleased with the results... I'm more energetic and awake (no more coffee dependence), and my appetite is more easily controlled (I'm a weight-conscious, emotional eater).

The main problem so far is that I've noticed that my eyes are very dry, which is bad when you wear contact lenses. I know one of the main side effects is dry mouth, so it seems to make sense that dry eyes would also be a side effect. Has anyone experienced this as a side effect?

I know it sounds silly but it is actually pretty serious for me... I can't seem to quit getting all cranked up on coffee and soda and staying up all night on the PC....

I would really like to get to bed a decent hour and get up in time to do things during the day...

It's starting to affect my work and stuff... I feel like I need the caffeine because I miss so much sleep from already having too much...

Anyone else been successful at changing this?

(yes - I'm asking this question at 5:45 AM.... so what?)

ok i've posted on here before about this, so i hope your not sick of me, please can someone help me out?

i have a few problems, and have alot on my plate at the minute - the most serious one i'd say is me cutting myself...i've told a few people who are/were close to me, but they all say the same thing - DON'T!! But they don't understand that it's not as easy as that. When i posted about iut on here the last time i got suggestions of couseling (and well some DON'T!!s again) but i am too scared to go talk to a cousiler incase my family get involved. I don't want to hurt anyone more, i just want to be better...am so close to getting caught about the cuts, and i can't keep blaming it on the animals of the house (my poor dog) ''oh i was playing with the dog...he jumped on me and ... er he needs his claws clipped...'' is not gonna hold up much longer.

this is getting way too long, poor u

i just need a bit of advice from any counsilers out there? or anyone with experiance?
thanks.

I have a way of bringing out the worst in myself. No matter what I do, I find a way to sabbotage myself. It's like I refuse to win. Why do I do this, and how do I stop it?

And if so what was the diagnosis for kids who suffered from it before it was recognised as a medical condition. Were they just classed as brats?

I heard about a woman who claims that she caught her 17 year old brother trying to molest her 5 year old son.
My friend knows the brother (not her) and we do not believe he is guilty.
The kid recently told his family that he was gay and we think that that is why she has started these accusations.

Then it turns out that she has made these kind of accusations against random people in the past - she used to tell people that a man came up and just started molesting her son at the supermarket in broad daylight.

Is it possible that this woman suffers from a disease like Munchausen Syndrome?

She is causing huge problems for her brother and even though the parents are on his side - the law might not be so reasonable.

What can be done to find out if this parent is even fit to be alone with her own son?

I just got a new cat, and ever since I've felt panicky, and like I've made a big mistake. Is it normal to feel so overwhelmed? I really did want a cat to begin with, but I'm worried. I can't eat and I'm having a hard time sleeping. It's actually done the opposite... instead of being really happy, I feel really bummed out.

What would cause such a negative emotional reaction??

About a couple months ago I started getting depressed. But now I hardly ever leave my house and I am no longer interested in anything. I have avoided everyone I know and also I have been thinking of suicidal thoughts. I feel extremly hopeless, I have no one to really talk to, and I even stoped believing in religion. Does anyone know how to reverse it or simply get rid of depression?

My 16 year old daughter has been seeing a psychologist in conjunction with a nurse practitioner to diagnose and treat depression and mood swings. She has seen this female psychologist for 5 months, but I see no significant progress. The psychologist seems to spend an hour with her just going over what's been happening in her life the week before - - - - sort of like monitoring her life instead of helping her with coping strategies. With each visit, my daughter is beginning to detest this woman more and more. And I'm wondering if I'm just providing an easy income for her.

I'm not an expert, but I wonder if it is time to change counselors. I'm not satisfied, but it is so hard to get in to see other professionals and then there's ALL the paperwork and background to go over again with a new person. But considering my daughter's anger and depression problem, do you think we need to switch if she is beginning to dislike this woman so much?

Just wondered? I tell the woman everything, I'm on prozac (she knows this) and am currently doubting my own sanity, with or without the stuff so does she have the right?

I have this weird thing about being touched. Not like I have a fear but I absolutely hate it and it makes me completely uncomfortable- kind of like an anxiety feeling. I have had this ever for my whole life. Especially when guys do it. I don't like when they hold my hand or touch my lower back or any of that. I haven't really had any trauma that I remember to cause me to be this way. My mom and dad weren't the most affectionate with me but both my brothers have no problem with being touchy feely. I feel bad because I can't hide my facial expressions of disgust or being uncomfortable when someone touches me. One time a friend of mine went to hug me and grabbed my lower back and I started to scream bloody murder, and I do not know why. I feel bad that I am this way and don't want to make people feel like they disgust me. Why do I do this? And how can I get over this?

Sometimes I get panicky and feel like I need to run away. Then my head feels like it is in a vice that is squeezing. This happens almost everyday. The doctor said it is just mild to severe anxiety. Does anyone have any suggestions beside medicine. Please help???
