I was reading about sleeping disorders (somehow) and narcolepsy, and I ended up reading about hypnagogia and automatic behaviour. from what I have read I think I might be experiencing these. Examples are talking in sleep, with no recollection, having vivid dreams while being awake (i.e. being half asleep), having these vivid dreams, half asleep, yet people being involved in them (i.e. like you are dreaming but you can hear a person talking to you, and there actually is a person talking), suddenly moving, like a sharp kick of the leg, feeling like you are falling, (these last three occur in falling asleep, with the 2nd and thirs sometimes while completely asleep). These occurances don't happen like every night, but one or two happen each week. Also, is it normal for dreams to seem like reality, as in you were there, and you cannot tell if something actually happened or not. Could anybody explain any of teh points I have raised??

My ex dumped me for a younger girl (I'm 32 , he's 31 and she's 20)... so now I am having 'age' issues. Everyone I know tells me I'm crazy. I'm fit, healthy, look like I'm 25 and take really good care of myself... but he's made me feel like a worthless old woman. What is my problem? Do other women feel like this, too? Please give me some tips to get over this? thanks...

Alright, I know this has been posted before, but I need some help too.
I feel almost positive that I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I constantly worry and feel scared all day long. When I go to sleep, I wake up automatically at 6 and I have to self-talk myself until I calm down because its really bad in the morning (anxiety). It's mostl affecting my relationship with my boyfriend (I am a female) but this is where more anxiety comes in. I ask myself if I have fallen out of love and if I don't want to be with my boyfriend anymore. But, I know I love him, and I want to do just that again. We've been together for almost 2 and a half years, I don't want this to hurt our relationship. I also worry about getting a horrible illness, or loosing people close to me, I constantly reassure myself, and I find myself grumpy when that isn't really me at all. Anyone think this is generalized anxiety disorder? I don't want to break up with my boyfriend. I'm scared thats what it comes down to. Help

I was given anfranil by some dumb doctor when I was 14 for supposed OCD it caused sexual side effects are they permanent?
I have been off the drug for 13 years my performance is just not as good as it should be im 25 im healthy I dont have OCD only took the meds for about 2 months will they cause permanent side effects because of its effect on your serotonin level and its receptors in the brain? If anyone takes meds or has taking antidepressant but are now off of them are the side effects Peramanent?

he has seem six differant Psychiatrist and none of them have been able to help him. He is declared disabled and is on disability Medicaid. The medications he is taking right now cost around $ 1200.00 each month. And he is not doing very well. He attends Special Education Classes, and rides the Special Co-Op Bus. But he was not allowed to ride the bus home one night when he tried to go out the emergancy doors at the back of the bus. And in the past three weeks he has been suspended twice. His last Psychiatrist told me that he doesn' t know what else to do to help my son; and he gave up. I do restict what kinds of food he eats and monitor everything. Just nothing seems to help. So I am hoping that maybe one of you will possible know someone else that has been in my shoes. Therefore, I might be able to get much needed help or answers to my many questions. Why do all the Web-sites only give information on one mental illness. My son has two and possible three.

I know in my head that having sex will not solve any problems. But I feel like I want to use it as a tool to feel some sort of belongingness but in my head I don't think it will work. I have isolated myself not by choice, but by feeling too embarassed to relate my concerns to patronizing relatives who appear so put together and happy and unwilling to share their vulnerabilities with me if they have any and the most patronizing of friends. Once again, when I need help, I feel lost as to where to find it and I am at my wits end, so I practice long-suffering until some providential series of occurences resolves the problem naturally in due time.

When will 'the way it is' with them match 'the way it is' with you? How do you learn to love yourself when you've never been shown how? I have my life in front of me? what do I have to lose but only time? I often marvel at people in their eighties, how they carry light hearts and keep simple perspectives on life. I'm 32.
In my shoes.

I've tried counting numbers, breaths, and sheeps. I've tried listening to the rain outside. Thoughts of my life, daily life, and upcoming duties keep flooding in my mind, a bit of anxiety maybe, but how do I overcome this, I want a good night's sleep for Christmas with the family!

I found a suicide note that my husband wrote. He wrote it sometime in the last few days I suspect. When I caught my husband looking a videos of child pornography, I lost it. The kid I saw was roughly 10 years old...the same age I was when I was raped and molested. I began having nightmares and completely reliving that time. We tried couple counceling one time, but she wanted he and I to spend MORE time together to fix things. I needed to be away. I talked to someone I THOUGHT was a friend and could trust. I was soooo wrong. Now alot of people know, but he is angry. Yes a small part is because people know, but he is VERY angry because I won't work things out and it's just one more thing in his life he has messed up. At work he is violent and no one wants to be near him because they are afraid of getting hurt. I have tried talking to him about that. He doesn't listen. He focuses on his screw ups. How do I get help for him? What do I do? I am scared for him.
