when I keep trying to fight it? I try to make myself happy like most of the books say, and it doesnt help. I try to stay with my friends and not withdraw from people, and nothing works. Any suggestions? ((Suicide has not been in my mind, FYI))

I'm 25, and addicted to crystal meth. I have used many other drugs and I've managed to continue using drugs for several years. But crystal meth has really got a hold of me and I can't seem to let it go. What should I do?

I have a mother that seems to have a drinking problem. She tries to hide her drinks, act like she hasn't drunken anything, or just anything she can possibly do to hide the fact that she doesn't have a problem with it. It seems as if she has to drink everyday or VERY close to everyday.

I've talked to her more than 25 times it counting, no lie. I've prayed for years. I've tried to pour out her drinks/bottles. I've done EVERYTHING I could possible do.

It seems like nothing will help me. What should I do?

She tells me she'll quit more than 20 times, and never has. She's sweared, promised, and all that. I'm scared for her because I know it's possible to get lung cancer, and she's already had surgery for a tumor in her stomach, so it makes me even MORE scared.

Someone PLEASE tell me what to do. I've been as patient as I could.

I'm an 18 year a girl and I've never been in a relationship. I'm just not interested in people my age, at least for an actual relationship. I often hear that the type of people you look to into relationships depends on the relationship of your father. My friends, I all see them going for people who are like their own fathers. But me - my father left me when I was two years old. I've spent some time with him, but I do not know what he is like as a person at all for I often feel he is putting on an act during the time in which we are together. How is this going to affect the type of men I choose to be with when I do start to have relationships with men? The people I'm attracted to (I'm basing this on celebrities, politicians, musicians) are usually older, people like Jeffrey Combs, Robert Carlyle, Bill Moseley, and Crispin Glover. I also find myself attracted to people who aren't necessarily the social "norm" of being "attractive", and usually have ..unique personalities.

I have been diagnosed recently with bipolar disorder. I was wrongly diagnosed with just depression. I have been to a therapist but now I find myself getting worse. Is there anything I can do?

I'm an 18 year old girl and for over five years I have been... how do I say... building relationships with people I know don't exists. The people often change, I will stay with one "person" for about a month or two, than change who it is I talk to. At night I will talk to them, act out scenerios. I know these people don't exist and that I am, in a way, talking to myself - but is this a mental disorder that I should be worried about? I'm a relatively normal person, with friends. I have a social life, it's just not the GREATEST social life. Please help. I often wonder if I try to stop doing this I won't be able to, because right now I just think of it as a quirk.

I've always been attracted to older men ever since I was a child. When I was a teenager my friends would be checking out guys our age while I'd be checking out men that are old enough to be my grandpa. My family knows that I only like very very old men and they think that there's something wrong with me. I'm in my early 20's now and I'm dating a man that's 75 years old. He's not rich at all but it was his personality and looks that made him so beautiful to me. My family really doesn't approve of our relationship especially since I'm pregnant with his child. Am I really sick in the head as people say???

I am a smart and attractive 23 year old female. I graduated from college and have a good job. I do not drink or smoke. I am a honest good person. I just seem to always mess things up and make stupid mistakes. I think it is because I am such a perfectionist that I get nervous and do not think.

I recently called my new boyfriends sister's house this holiday and called my boyfriend the wrong name. They think I am cheating on him now.

I accidently sent the wrong document to a future employer and lost out on the job.

These are just two examples of my mistakes. I am afraid that there is something wrong with me.

How can I prevent these stupid mistakes in the future?

My 24 year old son has acquired a mental illness over the past few years. He wants to think he is independent but he is no where near independence and won't seek treatment because he doesn't realize how sick he is. What's a mother to do?

I am on doxy 100mg 2x/day for Lyme disease. I am an extremely active 34 year old male, 190lbs. It is my understanding that this is a somewhat conservative dosage, i.e. this is not an aggressive dosage.

Is there any way that doxy can be acting as an antidepressant, where it "cures" my imaginary symptoms of Lyme? This is what my neurologist suggested. My symptoms in the past include positive blood test, Bell's palsy, dilated pupils etc. Doxy always cures my symptoms short term, but they always return.

I find it absurd that my neuro is suggesting I drop the antibiotic regimen and pursue a psychological approach, i.e. true antidepressant.

Time to find a new Doc?

Not neciscarilly suicidal thoughts or behavior but destructive behavior none the less. Like self sabotaging. Is it possible that this could be from not taking the prozac as directed. Not taking it enough.

Ever since i started school i've always had problem with comprehending any reading material or making sense out of it. History can be ok if it's accompanied with illustrations and simple language. HOW TO BOoks are fine. But fiction books, i never read any of those cause i can't make any sense of what im reading.

Also i was always bad at making essays .

And many times when people speak to me, i just can't understand quickly what they say. I also have trouble learning new grammar, idioms, vocab in ENGLISH and Spanish( my 2 most used languages)
..but
for some reason i'm good at foreign languages like Japanese.

Is there something i can do, mental exercises or something else, that can help me with my problem.

Okay, for those of you that don't know, here's how the education system works in the United Kingdom:

6-16 years of age - Compulsory education (school). Main exams are GCSE's in English, Science and Maths, along with other optional subjects such as religious studies, physical education, sociology etc - most take between 8-10 GCSE examinations

16-18 years of age - Optional schooling. Can either be at a college or at school. Main exams are A-levels, and those that choose to do these exams take up to 5 (with the usual being 3) A-levels in a range of subjects, or may take NVQs or alternative qualifications

18+ - University.

I got good grades in my GCSEs, and i'm 17 now and in the 2nd year of my A-levels. I'm doing law, psychology and history, having gotten grades A, B, and C in my first year respectively. I've applied to go to University in September, to do Criminology and Criminal justice. However, I just don't know whether to go. It costs over £2000 per year for uni
