As the past is limitless and as a lot of psychiatrists use techniques of delving into the past, doesn't that just add up to them guaranteeing long-winded sessions with lots of income based on hourly rates and repeat visits?

Last night i had a friend sleep over and I was just about to fall asleep when this thought popped into my mind... y do we sleep?? Its rele wierd how the whole thing works... our body kinda shuts down but everything still working. We lay there for hours without eating or going to the bathroom, and we are kinda lost in our own little world. And we do alot of strange stuff like sleep walk or sleep talk. We dream, and the whole thing just seems so real. And we meet people in our dreams that we have never seen before in our lives... Idk its a little strange to me. haha its kinda a wierd question but im only a teenager so still got lots to learn...

Not talking about seklf-help books for depression, anxiety, or any other sort of condition but just regular self-help books that masy help with social ability, success, etc.

Which ones have helped you the most?

I've been doing this since I was 12. No one has ever found out, and now it's getting to be like an obsession. I know that I should probably get help instead of asking on here, but I don't know if I can ask. The thing is my family. They're conservative Hindu and probably would disown me/ deny me the help I need/ignore it/or be very angry with me. So don't say that I should talk to them.

So I'm not really sure what could cause this but am hoping someone else would. I've started taking med's for axiety attacks not but for about half a year have been feeling quite down. The people who were my best friends totally had me fooled ( one being my boyfriend who stole from me, and told me that he used me becuase no one else treated him nicely becuase he was a prick) but now am shutting my friends out of my life, i dont want to go with them so i make up fake excuses and keep turning them down which is making them suspisious of me! any sugguestions on why i do this and why ive been acting this way?

I know this sounds stupid, but the past month or more, I can't sleep more than 2 hours straight...Everytime I turn off the light/TV, close my eyes, drift off...BAM, my heart starts pounding & my thought turn to horrible scary images...It is exhausting & depressing. :( My chest is having pain bc its overworked from this.
( I don't play with the occult or anything like that, and the house is not haunted...not sure I believe in that stuff..)
I also am getting more terrifying nightmares.
Help!

who overanalyzes EVERYTHING? And makes comments on small occurrences that in the grand scale of things don't mean anything?

Last night, a girl I knew died of a blood clot in the brain. We we not close friends, or even friends at all.. but I knew her. She was the type of person who everyone loved. Kind, funny, talented, charismatic, and just an overall great person. Is it weird that I am so torn up about her death when I didn't even know her very well? Well, either way, I am torn up about it. How do I get over her death? I don't take deaths very well. I know that she is in a better place now, but every time I think of her, I think that it's not fair. She was only 18 when she died, and she didn't even get to graduate yet. Help?

I really don't like medication, but I keep a bottle of xanax on hand(prescribed by doctor) for emergencies. I average two pills a month(when running errands or shopping), and often skip months if I'm not too anxious. The pills are 0.5mg which is a very low dosage, that I take on an as needed basis.

Anyway, I had to take care of some important business today, and I was really nervous, so I took one and a half pills and noticed that my throat felt really dry, and it made me sound hoarse, or a little congested. Is this normal? If so why? This is why I don't like meds, they all have some type of side effects, and I'm extremely sensitive to the slightest thing.

I used to live in colombia where if you live a window open just one night by accident, thieves are going to break in (it happened to me) so I developed an OCD and everytime I go out it takes me like 5 minutes to be sure that the door is closed or that the stove is off. In fact, sometimes I even forced the lock until it hurts my hand so I can walk away and look a the wound as a proof that the door is locked. I recently moved to Canada which is a super safe country and I thought that over here the OCD would go away because there is no fear to sustent the obssesion yet I still have it and I was thinking about taking medication but I wanna know if they actually work and if you can tell the difference from the time when you weren't talking them. Thanks a lot.

I have a friend who is a sounding board and very supportive, but I am afraid that he is becoming too attached to me. I am afraid that someone is going to get hurt, and feel guilty for enjoying his company.

I started Zoloft 25 mg on November 28. I am on week 4 and it still hasn't reached steady state yet. I am concerned because usually medications reach steady state by week 4. I am also getting severe side effects that haven't gone away yet-intense dizziness and headaches, severe fatigue, loss of appetite and nausea. Will the medicine ever reach steady state and will these side effects ever go away? What if these side effects never go away? What does that mean? Is it possible for a medicine to never reach steady state or never help my depression?
