I can't eat or sleep & all I think about is what is going on with me & my family. I just recently found out my dad has diabetes, my mom has been in and out of the hospital for anxiety, and my brother has a controlling girlfriend that no one can seem to get along with. help is surely needed =[

What are your triggers? What is it like for you. I know well enough what I go through - just wanting to see how it compares.

I've noticed good days and bad days. Days when I can get up and get all my work done (I'm a homemaker) and other days when I think my get up and go has got up and gone. I have been on Lexapro for anxiety. That's been over a year now. And it does wonders for the anxiety. Would that PREVENT a depression? Or is it some other problem? I go back to my provider next week. The physicatrist is not until Jan.
Also I've noticed this for the last few months or so. Off and on. Days when I feel like writing to my friends (on line) and other days when I don't.

Ok so today was just a horrible day.
So I got up in the morning and I felt terrible. SO I just started my normal morning routine and every time I would hear a rustle or any sort of little noise it would feel like my intestines are curling up and I had a horrible feeling in my stomach. Then later on in the morning when I came to my first class I couldn't concentrate because of the little noises and my head was pounding and my face was all red and really hot and I felt like I was really out of control and I was trying to plug my ears but it wasn't working and I was freaking out. Now it stills is bad when I hear noises but it's not as bad, I'm really scared I don't want it to happen.

I'm only 15 and I'm kind of scared. You see, a lot of bad genes run through my family, from bipolar and ausburgers syndrome to ADD and anxiety disorders. I was diagnosed for ADD a few months ago and put on medication, it's helping at least a little bit.
And now I'm worried, because even though I denied that I have any of these mental disorders (which my mother and sister have), I've lost my own inside battle on ADD and had to succumb to treatment. Now, I realize it was a good thing.
But I know that I have OCD. I've been tested for it before, and I kind of mellowed down the answers so they wouldn't seem so bad, but all that did was hurt myself because now I'm without treatment.
And it gets worse with stress. Now, in the middle of the school year, I have constant mental struggles and rituals I need to carry out, and it just makes me even more anxious.
I've asked my mom if I could see the family therapist. She said she'd try and arrange it. Is there a way to self-help or no?

I don't know what everyone thinks, but every person's biology is differen, so how can the same the drug work for one person & expect it to work the same in another's body?
we are all unique, if one is allergic to nuts, doesn't mean another has..

Also, I hate the doctors telling me: this drug will only work at 400g! sorry what a load of b*** how can they, with all their education not see that? The doctor even once put his own foot in it when I argued to him about this, he said if u have a headache & the recommended dose is 200g on the "packaing" you have to take this, if u take 100g then it wouldn't be enough. I told him what if the 100g cured ur headache?
I'm very petite & the amount I can take is not the same as a 6 foot body builder, the amount that would knock such a guy off, would kill me!

Sorry,a lot of psychiatrists are text book robots whose answer to every, I mean every problem is "Take this medication" guaranteed.

Ok, so here's the deal, im 17 i have had panic attacks for a while ... AND IT SUX!!!! I mean forreal. And my symptons are sort of different, ever since i was little i have had thesse big fears of my tounge being swollen or im going to swollow it. I kno my tounge is not swollen, but when i panic, it feels like it is. I also know I cannot swollow my tounge, but then again when i panic it feels like im going to. Another thing that worries me is sometimes i will start getting shortness of breath like i just ran or something ... is this normal?

How can I stop having so much anxiety towards my job? Everytime I have to take a personal day off or have to call in sick..I keep thinking that I am either in trouble or that I will get fired if I do that. I dont know why... I also get anxiety over money, or over any bad situation- no matter if it is even a big deal or not. I even get anxiety attacks. I hate it!!!
Also, I am so overly sensitive that I cant stand it anymore and other people cant stand it either. I have lost friends because of this. I get so emotional over the stupidest things, overreact, and jump to conclusions. I need to know why and how I can fix these things. I am sure that this is a part of me but I want to change it and not be so sensitive anymore.
No mean answers please

One a given day, for reasons that seem logical to him, he'll think some secret organization is doing things to him to keep him from accomplishing something important. The next day, he thinks that this is a stupid thing to believe - again fro very logical reasons to him. I don't know if this is even schizophrenic. Any insights? Or do you know where I can find info? Can he see a counselor or do schizophrenics need to seek another kind of mental health care?
