My friend has a problem. She seems happy and all, but she kind of lets herself go. For example, from 3-day sleep-overs and one week vacations I have noticed she doesn't shower every week, and she doesn't wash her teeth at all. My other friend said that there's a disorder [similar to depression] that can be like this, but it's usually common with older people.


Is there a website where I can research this and if I can help her or if it's just in my head?

I love her, she's my friend, and I'm worried about her.

P.S. I think she has some kinf of depression, because she gets sad and moody from time to time, but I doubt she's bi-polar.

It seems that in the world today, everyone assumes you're life is just like theirs if they have it easy, and anyone who makes a decision they wouldnt make they assume you are a mess... Why can't people realize that not everyone is like them and some people do the best they can with what they are given? I dont want to be bashing bible thumpers, but I notice Christians are the absolute worst about this... So my question is Why?

This is so stupid!!!In 52 years I have never ever worried about my heart ,or the little weird feelings that you get with your body from time to time.I am not ocd .I checked and dont have the symptoms to confirm that i am truly ocd,although I have tendencies to be that way .Its usually about a project or interest that i have and then It passes.Lately I have been obsessed by illness.I think that I have read enough about symptoms to be in premed by now.I hate it!I have litterly thousands of interest.Why am I stuck on this one.?I can't seem to concentrate on anything else.If I start working on somthing else I always have to be looking up something I just felt.In the past my obsessions have always been something positive but this one is scarring me to death.I have been to two doctors that say that im fine and a 30 year nurse all of which say im just looking in to much on myself and if I could just stop I would be ok. How Can I kick This bad habit.Its getting worse everyday?Serious Only?

i asked this other question on yahoo answers and two people mentioned i might have anxiety.

i do worry over little things. infact, i worry more about how poeple think about me. sometimes i get frustrated at my self because i won't let myself just live. i shake a lot, stutter, and twitch. it sounds really gay, but i though it was just nervous habits. sometimes when i'm REALLY tired, i won't let myself go to sleep because i'll be thinking about something that makes me worried.
i find myself breathing hard somettimes when i think of these thoughts.
can it really be anxiety? or is it just habits? can i cure it? would it be costy?

I have recently started daydreaming so heavily that I run off the road or slowly ease into other lanes...I have scared myself and people riding with me....I get lost easy...I have no sense of direction....and no I am not senile..I am 45....I take Zoloft and blood pressure medicine...I am just deep in thought sometimes and I worry alot......I can't remember how to get back from my daughter's school to my house...or if I steer off the normal route....it might take me an hour to figure out where I am...it is so bad I feel like crying...my concentration is horrible!!! My memory is horrible!! My l8 yr. old son thinks I am crazy sometimes. What is wrong? I have been going thru alot of family problems and such but I can't remember what I wore yesterday or what I did? I find myself not listening to people because my daydreaming has gotton out of hand.....its weird. I tune everything out. I walk around in circles in the house and get nothing done . Or it takes forever to do something

I think I'm well enough to have a week pass now. I dont have any urges to kill or anything like that. Well, not anymore... my doctor says as long as no one makes any sudden movements towards me or wears bright colors I should be ok. He also said for me to find a hobby other than getting drunk with the guys that hang outside of the 7\11's near my mental health home.. or as the mean people sy "NUT HOUSE": So the next time I show you my 2 day pass, please quit calling me freakazoid or looneytunes. I am cured unless you tick me off or im drunk or something like that. I am also looking for a place to stay beyond hanging out with the nice guys behind 7\11 when I get out on a weekend pass. May I have your phone number to make arrginements. Thank You in Advance... My name is Geroge... the staff just call me ... That Crazy Bastard, whatever that means.

i have stopped using all sorts of stuff, took time off work saw the Doc finally took some meds, counceling, im trying to learn about thought and behaviour to make myself feel (or believe better). But after my heavy weeks of real emotional downs i feel like i did before, just flat - I dont take illegal things now but have started drinking which now has to stop because that has started replacing my previous addictions. The problem is... i can see why i started this spiral in the first place. I love getting mashed - it just seems better than normal life, but i dont want it to be that way, i have everything going for me but i just want to muck it up... i think i love the melancholy and the dark, i pushed everyone away, is this just self pity? self destruction? how can i turn it round? - any advice?

Im a 20, african american male, who suffers from an anxiety disorder. I tend to worry ALOT about things, and I tend to repeat things that bother me, over and over in my head. It really ticks me off and makes me feel alienated from everyone, else and inferior. and to top things off, I went to the clinic to get my blood pressure checked and they said it was a little high. I of course took that to the head and didnt like that at all. I then a few weeks later went to check my blood pressure myself on one of those do it yourself machines, and it showed me being at 155/77. So I went to the phamacist and showed her my reading and she told me to sit down and relax for a few minutes and try it again. So I did and this time it showed it being 134/76 which I guess is in the normal range. I showed it to her and she told me that im fine, and that its probably what they call "white coat" syndrome. The next day I went it was 153/76, and then I waited and then checked again and it was 127/56.

…Without medication. I’ve been having a few obsessive compulsive tendencies arising lately, i.e. doing things more than once until it feels ‘right’, not touching certain things for fear of getting my hands dirty, etc. And it’s really straining on my patience. Any ideas?

I've been divorced for over a year after 18 years of a very abusive marriage. I have a new man in my life, but I'm still hearing the old hurtful things that my ex said, i.e., "I hate you", "I want a divorce", "I'm looking for someone else", "You're too fat/skinny", "Quit calling me at work", My family hates you", etc...

He cheated from about the second year of our marriage and blamed it on me. Whenever he went out of town (frequently) he would sleep with some other woman. One minute it would be okay and the next he was screaming that he hated me and wished that I would die. That's borderline personality disorder and it's the only reason I stuck around - because I knew that he was sick.

Anyway, I'm having a very rough time understanding that my new guy won't leave me. He treats me very well and tells me that he loves me often. He is very gentle with me and really understands my feelings. I told him once or twice about how bad my marriage was and the scars it left.

Lately, I have been getting real warm in the face when I have conversations with people I generally don't talk to or people whom are of higher authority than me. Warm as in an embarassed feeling. I normally do not do. In fact, I am an outgoing person and it has never happened to me until recently. I have always felt comfortable talking to anyone. I just don't understand it. I wonder if it is a medical condition. How can I stop it?

A fellow employee is chronically late, phones in sick on Mondays and avoids contact with others until around noon. I am concerned that she may be hung over and wonder about offering help before she loses her job.

I worry she may be insulted if there is no problem with alcohol and wonder if my view is tainted because I have seen others with alcohol abuse show the same symptoms and behaviours. Do you think she abuses alcohol? What should I do?
