How can I minimize my anxiety when Im away from home without my family. My sophmore year I got really bad anxiety and even when Im at school Im afraid to be away from my mom or sister because I fear for their safety, I cant even sleep in my own room anymore and I have horrible insomnia and dreams about my mom dying regularly. I recently started seeing a psychologist and started taking medicine, but today I went to the mall with my friend and I still am incredibly anxious. Anyone have a similar problem that can help me reduce my stress?

How can one accept to be dependent on others, by disability, illness or old age? How do one accept no to be able anymore to do simple things one used to? And, mainly, how can one bear to have to ask things from others, and ask and ask... It's not as much a question of pride as of not wanting to harass others.
All serious answers will be highly appreciated.

Sometimes I get so low that i get either pissed off or I think of killing myself. i actually pour all the pills on my desk and stare at them wandering if it will only send me to the hospital or actually do the job. Then a few hours later I resurface and I feel stupid for even thinking of wanting to end my life. I also feel confused its like I checked out for a few hours and went to not a great place. Then i just continue on with things hanging out with friends but with this huge secret weighing on the inside. I ask what would anyone think if I told them I go through this? Would they freak out? I see a psychiatrist but whenever she asks how things have been I say fine. Inside I want to scream not good not good at all but I keep my mouth shut. I feel if i say all this out loud it will make it too real. That it would scare me. My life is in a holding patter and I just want to know what everyone else does when something like this is happpening.

I went to the doctor with a mild case of anxiety and at first he gave me xanax(.25mg) which pretty much did the trick. Once I finished the prescription I was fine for a little bit until the panic returned. I went back and he decided to prescribe me Lexapro(10mg). I took a pill and a half and this has to be the worst product on earth. I’ve already experienced every side effect from supper depression to muscle twitches to sexual problems, diarrhea to headaches the list goes on. I decided to go cold turkey after 2 days on it. my question is how long will these symptoms last? cause I’ve been off it for 2 days now and I feel worse then ever, like im a depressed zombie.(ps. I’ve never been depressed in my life until I took this pill) please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why do people have to be so damn happy

I've struggled with depression since a child, but it gets worse and worse each year. It costs me jobs, relationships, and i'm just so tired of it all. I seem to stumble from dilemma to dilemma and after leaving my last job I'm out of cash and homeless in a few days. Unemployment is dragging it's feet and won't kick in for another month but I've just had it - and set this weekend to do it via knife. Relatively sure I can do it, but what type of help is out there? Calling some hotline and getting feelgood talk won't change a thing, going to a local hospital for 2 days of medicine and happyhappyjoyjoy speeches won't change 30 years of depression - I feel that I need a few months in a setting that ensures change and retraining how I think and feel. Do such places even exist?

I took a stand in my life yesterday, and it seems to helped a litle with my depression and I really do not feel so down about my situation. Is this normal? Can just standing up for yourself and not allowing other peoples wills to be pushed on to you be this easy or is the other shoe going to drop soon?

Take a look at the US overall leaderboard...

dukalink6000 who joined YA on 19 April 06. In 227 days he's answered a mind whopping 60844 questions; an average of 268 answers a day. Assuming for 8 hours sleep and hour for each for breakfast, lunch and dinner an average of 21 answers per hour 7 days a week.

I find the implications of this frightening.

I suffer from hearing voices, previously it was one male voice that I recognised but now it's two voices talking about me, telling me to cut myself and kill myself. I've also started seeing figures (without faces) at the end of my bed and in my living room, I also see 20+ spiders on walls, in the bath etc. No one else hears or sees them. I keep getting this nagging feeling that people are out to get me and can hear what I'm thinking and I'm convinced that I'm doing stupid things without knowing it. I saw a doctor today who has increased my medication but do others think that I should make an urgent appointment to see my psychiatrist. I'm getting really freaked out by it all.

I'm avoiding my Dad. He is complaining alot. For example, I went downstairs and asked him how he was doing and he said "I'm tired. I'm really run down." Then I said that Mom was going to get a nice lunch and he asked "what?" and I said that she said it was going to be a surprise. And he said "I don't know about your mother and her surprises". His tone and attitude or just so negative. It pushes me away. The last couple of weeks, I have been suffering a bit from stress/anxiety, so this negativity isn't helping at all!

He did not instill confidence in me and I did not instill it in myself, so I'm trying really hard now as an adult to gain it. It's hard!! My dad's personality and mine are different. He's more on the serious side and is almost like a boss than a Dad sometimes. Truly he loves me because he doesn't show it affectionately or with words, but in actions.

How can I enjoy being around my Dad again?

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- The dramatic declines in teenage pregnancy rates noted in the United States between 1995 and 2002 were largely due to improved contraceptive use, not to abstinence, a new study shows.

My friend is suicidal. He is suffering serious problems at home. He hates himself and I think that the way things are going that he will be dead soon. Other people are starting to turn on him because he fakes being happy all the time but they don’t know he is faking happiness. He won’t seek professional help. How can I and his other mates help him?
