My uncle has anti social personality disorder, i'm not sure if he's completely diagnosed but he certainly has almost every symptom. The problem is he won't accept any blame for how messed up his life is, he's been jailed lots of times, beaten people up when he feels like it. He resents the thought of paying money to anybody, even though he has hardly ever worked in his life, after he left the military when he was 17, he is now 40. Now though, nobody in the family wants to help him, but I just can't stop feeling like I should try. Should I just give up on him? after all, if he won't help himself then noone else can?

The past two nights I have been having very vivid, horrific dreams. The first night, it was watching someone blow someone else's head off, and then their own. It was very, very vivid...to the point where I could see brain matter flying. Last night I had a dream that I was pregnant and someone was trying to kill me by stabbing me. There was blood everywhere, and once again, it was very disturbing. I don't know why I am having these sort of dreams, but it makes it kind of scary to go to sleep at night. Does anyone have any idea why am I having such horrifying dreams? The only thing I can decipher is that I could possibly be pregnant, so that explains part of last nights dream. The rest I don't understand. Can anyone help??

Ok well..first you should know that I have had trichotillomania since I was 11...which apparently is a "compulsive" disorder, but I think it's more of a from of self-injury. I seem to like the actual "pain" of hair pulling...even though the pain doesn't hurt..not in a bad way.

i know that sounds psycho and I don't care if you say that is, because I realize that is not normal.

I'm 15 now..

I've noticed I've started to become more impatient recently, and feel like crying out of nowhere and sometimes I don't even feel sad, I just feel overwhlemed and like I'm losing it/losing my sanity.

I have anxiety and paranoia was well, but I guess the doctors don't think I need meds for it.

Everything pisses me off almost.

Someone mixing something loudly with a spoon.
Just infuriates me.

It just bugs me where I feel like screaming.

I seem to always be ANGRY.

I don't know whats wrong?

I'm currently on Celexa. I love it because it keeps me calm. Sometime too calm. I recently just got out of a situation, I can't call it a relationship, that ended very badly. Of course I was upset. I cried a little but not like I should. Now I feel, like oh well it is what is. Also, have this numb feeling like I'm blocking the pain. Is this normal?

i am in 8th grade and i think im depressed. for about 4 months now i have felt like this. some days im ok and how i used to be but most days i either feel like i am completely empty and nothing matters to me at all or i am extremely angry and irritable at everyone, especially myself, and everything for no reason at all. there isnt any reason for me to feel this way although i have a terribly low self-esteem. i do not cut myself only because i have a friend who i have made a "you cut-i cut" agreement and i know he would. but now i have started hurting myself [without telling him] when i become angry or down and i cant control it because i feel like everything that goes wrong is, in the end, my fault and i should be punished, i have also started thinking about suicide a lot. i have decided that i dont want to die but the thoughts still wont go away. all of my friends say im depressed but even if i am i dont want to tell my parents. they have no money and theres no point in them worrying.

It has been happening for a long time now, I constantly feel different emotions everyday, my head hurts from the pain of those emotions. I long for the "easy and simple solution" but i can't help but think of the people that i would leave behind. I always thought their was a reason for living but i question that everyday now and wonder if their is a real reason to go on.

What are the psychological effects of pranayama/yoga/meditation on mind other than relaxation and body building? some claim that these increase creativity. How is that possible? some say that these teach one to live life as a spectator rather than as a participator. How can that be helpful in practical life? Does determination, tenacity, ambition, sex drive etc increase/change if one practise these? anxiety and stress are due to external factors and should one not try to reduce these by rational thinking rather than doing pranayama?

I stopped taking my anti-depressant medication without telling anyone. My docter recently pescribed me a higher dosage, and I am willing to try them again, but I'm not sure what will happen if I suddenly start taking a high dosage without slowly increasing it. I'm on Recpirdol, and Zoloft.

Is self harm a form of depression? Every time I feel sad I want to cut myself, I've cut my arms twice in the past 2 weeks, I don't know how to approach the doctor and tell them how I'm feeling, I'm scared of talking to the doctor. I feel so alone, I havent got any family in London, and not many friends. I'm ok sometimes but other times I get really depressed and lonely, I drink on my own a lot, when I feel sad, all I want to do is drink.

Since I was about 12, I felt anxious, shy around people. I would be scared to make a phone call, even to a friend. I thought this was because I stuttered. Now I am 19, and my symptoms have gotten worse (can't introduce myself to people, make phone calls, hate answering the phone, hard time meeting people), yet I have 2 jobs in retail. My 1st job, I thought would be easy but whenever I wanted to address a coworker I felt scared, my voice was shaky, I felt shaky, when I answered the phone I couldn't get my words out. And this is the worst, saying "next on line" really loudly. I just can't seem to say it. and "your total is" and "do you have a hallmark gold crown card".

A classmate of mine told me that since I adopted to my job, I can deal with it, but if something new comes up or I blank out, forget what to say, the anxious feelings will come back again.

Is it possible to have social anxiety and work in retail?

I rarely make my bed and I change my bedsheet once in 2 months. I would straighten my room up one day but back to the same messiness again couple of days later. Drives my mom up the wall everytime and she has threatened many times to throw out my stuff. I love her dearly but no matter how many times we've fought over this, I just can't be organized. What's wrong with me? Girls are supposed to be neat, clean and tidy.
