I have an aunt I am very close to, and she is pretty sick and elderly now. I am already planning ahead to what I am going to do when she dies, eg writing thankyou cards to people who have helped her, putting a tribute site on the web with photos etc. For all I know she has months or even years, but it has been dicey lately. Is that morbid or actually a good coping plan?

At what point do you consider checking yourself into a hospital? Symptoms include frequent crying, lack of interest in anything, fatigue, mood swings... how can you tell if this is just a 'phase' or a real mental break down?

i feel really depressed right now. everything in my life just seems to be going downhill. sometimes the only reason that i get out of bed in the morning is because i hear my kids wake up and know that i need to take care of them. when i go to sleep all i do is dream about my problems. i cant get a break! i feel like i have nothing to look forward to in life. thank god i have my kids or i would be lost.
unfortunately this depression is turning me into someone i dont want to be - moody, short tempered - a *****!

the doctors can only give antidepressants and counciling but i dont want them. if it were a physical or chemical imbalance problem then ok give me meds but its not. its more situational and there are things that i cant fix by myself. i need cooperation from others to solve my problems. counciling doesnt work. im not paying for someone to say uh huh, and how does that make you feel. so what do i do?

I'm totally losing my mind. I'm WAAAY too busy. I need help finding options.

I go to work every day M-F 7:30-4:30PM with a 45 minute commute in the morning. When I get off work, I commute 15minutes to school, change and start my school day ,which is from 5-9PM M-F. Then, I drive another 45minutes home, make dinner, talk on the phone to my boyfriend, and go to sleep at midnight (or later), and wake up and do it all over again. On the weekends, I fly to see my boyfriend who lives 8 hours away. I HAVE NO TIME FOR MYSELF!!! I am running at a speed that I can not maintain for much longer. What can I do?

I HAVE to work full time because I need the money. Right now, I'm living at home because I live in an exspenive city and can't make ends meet.
I HAVE to go to school because I need to get my education so I can have the job I want.

My schedule currently is 6 hours of sleep a night and working 12 hour days.

Serious answers only!

I've been on Xanax for about a month now, taking 1mg a day for the most part but some days I've taken 2mg and others 0 (overall I'm averaging more than 1mg per day), depending on whatever I'm doing socially or when I'm feeling anxious. I've found that I have major ADHD symptoms after taking xanax, even after just 1mg. The calming effect I get from xanax is great, but afterwards it makes me paranoid. I lose focus easily and cannot concentrate on handling multiple simultaneous tasks. I've looked online and it appears that my dosage is somewhat normal. I find myself being very consumed and interested by conceptual things I read on the internet, see on TV, or by having a good conversation with someone, but I cannot handle mundane tasks and going out to do normal things. I feel confused. So I don't know if I'm overdosing on xanax, or not getting enough of it. Can someone please help me? I don't know how xanax relates to ADHD. Is it a symptom of xanax withdrawl or an overdose?

A while ago I just randomly fainted and while I was out (for ca. 5 sec's) I had this exceptionally clear picture of a man who seemed vaguely familiar. When I came to, my boyfriend was standing over me and I was terrified because I had no idea who he was ( but also vaguely familiar) and I was extremely scared of him (This lasted for ca. 5 more seconds until i realized it was just my boyfriend) I was wondering if it maybe had to do with past trauma (involving this man) or something along those lines. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this and/or maybe done some research on what it means? I am tempted to think it was just random and due to temporary lack of blood in the brain but who knows, maybe I am supposed to be dealing with something involving this man? Could PTSD be an explenation although I never suffer from flashbacks? I am open to ANY suggestions!

I became pregnant with my son at 16. I married at 18. I had my daughter at 20. The man i am married to seems selfish and unsupportive in the things that make me happy. This is kind of how my parents treated me. This is probably why i saught "love" from someone and became pregnant..( understood) ... i need to cope with the after math of it all. I am a highly intelligent artistic human being and have many beautiful things to offer humanity, but, feel held back by my anger and insecurities.
