I always feel like I can't breathe sometimes, and I'm taking deep breaths more often then "normal people" I always twitch lots during my attacks and feel like my chest is tight and hurts. I avoid foods like chocolate and caffiene, because it makes my attacks start up. Mostly my attacks act up near night time, or if I start thinking my "what if's" too much.
Anybody else feel like sharing? or do any of you have common symptoms?

Examples range from being younger and never returning library books (although she was reminded and knows when they were due) to more recent extreme spending with credit cards leading to debt. Given the chance she'd sign up for another credit card immediately

i'm sure this question brings most people to a definite answer
but ask yourself if your answer is truly your own or what youv'e been taught to feel
if it's just an answer without insight
isn't that the same witchhunt for wich we condem him for
it's just a thought
i won't say where i stand

.........thrown up poop??? I'm serious! I am really sick and I have actually been vomiting diarrhea (a lot of it).........gross, I know, but I want to know if it's ok. I know it's not normal, but is it a big deal? It's like the third time I have done it in my life, but I am kind of embarrassed to say anything. Here it's totally anonymous, so much easier to say it's happening. I can't see asking my mom or something.......I'd be so embarrassed. I feel silly asking you all and I will never have to face you, so someone I have to see......out of the question! Well, unless someone knows FOR SURE that it can hurt me. So........any ideas??? REAL IDEAS PLEASE......DON"T BE RUDE JUST BECAUSE THIS IS GROSS! I'm a little scared..........thanks!

I am considering a new drug called Cymbalta, mostly for depression/Bipolar disorder. If you've tried this, please tell me what your experience was like with it. Did it work better than any of the other drugs you've been on? I have been on prozac, zoloft, paxil, wellbutrin, effexor, and prozac is the only one I've taken for years, and its effects seem to be wearing off. I'm wondering how Cymbalta would work for my mood swings, and overall depression.

This is my third attempt at posting this question so please don't be harsh if it's worded wrong, as it won't get passed the censors for some reason.

Please help me. I am serious and I'm not joking. Family issues. My mom hates me and she doesn't talk to me or like spending time with me. My dad doesn't understand me even if he tries to. I feel like noone really understands me or my situation. I know I have depression and I know I have anger management issues, but I really need help. I have seeked counseling before and went to a therapist but I quit it. I am thinking of going back to her. What do you guys think? I make a mountain out of a molehills and my dad says I hate the world. Well, that is not true. I just tend to overreact to little things that people do. I know that I shouldn't because I can't control them or their actions, but I was just thinking that I could be assertive. For example, today I hesitatingly went to see Night at the Museum with my folks and brother, even though I

I can talk about every issue on the book, from global economics to the holocaust. All in-depth and for the most part intelligently. The one thing I can not and almost refuse to talk about is myself, why?

The reason I ask is because I am in therapy and as you can imagine, it's been a real struggle.

It has come down to this: I think I may suffer from depression. I haven't seen a doctor yet, but I do have experience in the Mental Health field.
I know that depression is a chemical inbalance & it may be situational (i.e. loss of a job, a loved one, car accident, etc) or chronic (ongoing).
I also know that depression is very serious. It doesn't just go away & each episode is worse than the previous one.
A little background info:
*I broke up w my ex in Oct. - after 5 1/2 years together. It was no surprise, but it was still a loss.
*I moved out (from SC w an amazing ocean view to a studio in the not so amazing part of LA with my mom & her bf)
*I was working 2 jobs (one f/t the other p/t)
*I quit my f/t job to enroll back in school

Now I feel super lost, confussed, I miss things I never thought I would (like my pillow!), I cry a lot, I don't sleep or eat, I feel super ugly & worthless, can't concentrate & i have no patience & no sex! & I'm in denial about the depression. Why??

Im not sure what to do anymore. My family are so beautiful and supportive i really just want to feel normal again so i can stop disapointing them, but i cant. I feel like i dont deserve my life. I have been thinking alot about suicide and hurting myself, i am a christian and would never do this but i cant get these thoughts out of my head. I have not always felt this way, but a couple of months ago i started having these really bad anxiety attacks and couldnt get these strange thoughts out of my head. It never went away and now i feel like I am two totally different people. Everyone thinks i am me, i still feel like me sometimes but most of the time i am living in a nightmare, in a different persons body. I want my life back! What should i be doing? Thankyou

I don't know if you could call this a dream/nightmare. This happens like once a week...or twice, it has no real pattern. This is how it goes; I go to bed, usually very tired, and at the exact time when I'm about to fall asleep...something happens. A very weird feeling of numbness surrounds my whole body and I lose control of everything except my eyes. As hard as I may try, I cannot move my hands, feet, fingers, or even my head. I can only move my eyes vertically. Ever time this happens, I try to scream at the top of my lungs but NOTHING is coming out..my mouth is wide open as well, due to my efforts at screaming. I think i am fully concious at the time, I can think straight. I always open my eyes and see the grey wall next to me, then i turn my head to the door nob to my left, not being able to do anything. When I finally regain control of my body, it's all numb...i bearly even feel it's existance, this is something i would do anything to get rid of. Sorry for the wall of text. Ideas?

He has been a dick to me ever since our parents got married, and I absolutely hate him. I would like nothing more than to see him on the ground screaming out in pain. But I can't do this and I am so stressed I'm scared I might kill him. So what can I do to relieve myself of this stress?
