About 2 1/2 months ago a terrible thought flashed into my mind. Now i cannot get rid of it. Everyday day in, day out i have to try and push this obsurd thought out of my head. Its driving me insane. I dont now how to stress how much of an affect this had had on me. I feel totally worthless and i desperately just want to live the life i could live without this. When i feel good i can try and ignore it. But whenever somthing goes wrong It comes back just as bad as before. This stupid cycle has been going on so long, I feel like i am going to lose it. It is making me so depressed, some days i just break down and weep. My family is supportive but i feel like they dont fully understand how bad it is. They dont want me to live on medication and i dont really either. What should i be doing. Please help me.

I have diagnosed myself with bipolar syndrome / anxiety disorder. There are alot of overlapping conditions of different mental disorders, so it's hard to say. I suffer from depression, severe social anxiety, and anxiety in general. I also go through phases of extreme mania. I know I don't have the proper credentials to diagnoze myself. I went to my doctor, who had me fill out a few different questionars. He told me himself that I am suffering some serious mental problems that require medication. My older brother was prescribed adderall by my doctor until he tested positive for cocaine on a blood test. My little brother alltogether refused to submit a blood test. My mother has also abused prescribtion drugs from the same doctor. When I first saw him he prescribed me wellbutrin which did nothing. I waited two months and yesterday he told me he won't prescribe me any stimualants because of my family. I offered to submit a drug test but he said no. What can I do to get the help I need?

one time when he was five, by his parents maid. but he said she only did it once and did not force him, make him feel pressured. he said that at that age he never even knew it was wrong especialy if she didnt make him feel pressured. he also said that a few minutes into it he didnt want to anymore and she let him stop and they did something else. but he said she was very good to them always took care of them played toys with him and was very nice accept thta one time. and she also didnt even tell him not to tel anyone. which is what realy made him think nothing was wrong, he said he just thought it was another form of playing or wrestling. but my question is could this have affected him? he says it didnt and its not like he was forced and it was a daily thing. it was one time and never agian. what do you think????

Hello, I’m here to look for help because I can’t find it and I’m really desperate, please be serious in your answers.

Since I was a kid I always feel sad, alone and strange; with suicidal ideas.

When I was 13 I start to feel worst and start to have problems sleeping. And when I was 16 I start to be medicated (I used to take Haldol, altruline, trileptal and Rivotril ) that was my first prescription) my mom take me with another doctors and they remove some drugs and change my Dx.

When the last Dr. remove almost all my drugs; I don’t what happen but i start to feel better and that was like a 3 years period.

But know, I’m sick again (a lot of Depression!!!) I’m going from a Dr to Dr to find a cure, but I can't. Being honest , I don’t know if I can still trust on doctors.

So… do you know if there’s something that I can do to be better? Like exercise? avoid caffeine? Read some kind of books? What I can do?

I’m currently 24y.o., I’m an engineer, I lose my job, I’m still on therapy (with a psychology ) and my last Dx was Border limit Disorder (6months ago)

I Hope you can help me. I wanna be ok.

Sorry the grammar, English is not my first language

I know that people with these types of disorders don't hallucinate or imagine things that aren't real but just how serious can this illness be? After all, Charles Manson was said to ba a socialpath. Which if I remember right; it is a term used for someone with a personality disorder. Is the term "socialpath" the right term for personality disorder? Or do I have it wrong? I was diagnosed with personality disorder but I am nothing like Charles Manson.

My wife has a crazy temper at times and personally I feel anyone who screams at another person over very little things needs some sort of help. Should i get her a selfhelp book from the library or recommend actual counseling? She is usually quite docile but every 3 months or so has a day of rage and it freaks me out..

I start work early and finish early,and as soon as i get home i go to sleep so i dont have to think about things. Sometimes i can sleep for 15 hours if i want to. The only time i'm not thinking or worrying is when i'm asleep.

I am in the military satationed in South Korea. I am unable to sleep much, I bearly eat, and I have no real care about my life. I am not thinking about hurting myself or others. Because of that I feel I am lower on the list to be helped. I am not on medication because I dont have a doctor to perscibe Meds. I drink to fall asleep and to relax. My mind is always running. I have a very bad memory now and i have night mares and I am told that I stare off in to space during the day. It is so bad that my wife tried to wake me up one night and I pushed her so hard that she fell of the bed. When I awoke I was covered in sweat and had no memory of doing it. I need help but the help I am getting from the army is just enough to check the block and say they tried but that is of no real help. Any advise would be great.
