My dad tells me my mom has Bipolar disorder. My mom tells me she doesnt. When i looked to see what bipolar was, my mom really seemed to fit the discription. But she says it was just because she was hurt and going through a lot. How do i know who is telling the truth? And if she does have it, is there a chance that i will develop it?

I realised that if you are depressed and you have money at least you can go to a spa, take two months off and stay by your million dollar house with a pool or go on an amazing trip wherever you want! There are millions of things you can do to feel better. Worst case is "Maybe you don't cure your state of mind but at least you get better, you get relaxed and healthy."
If you don't have money the only thing you can do in case of depression or frustration or you just feel plain tired, is get up next morning really early after a sleepless night and do your 9 hours job because if you don't things will only get worst!
This brings to a new perspective all those sayings " Money can't buy happiness", don't you agree?

I have an 8 year old daughter, I had three but two years ago I signed my rights away to my youngest two. My daughter still gets to see her 5 year sister but never gets to see her 3 year old sister. She has been really torn up about missing her younger sister off and on for the past two years. Lately it's been getting worse and I'm thinking she's created two imaginary friends. We're all afraid she's going to be sent over the edge if we don't do something but what can we do? We've sent her to a physciatrist and they said she's fine and she knows she can talk about her sister at anytime and that it's okay to cry.

Is there anything we can do and is it possible she's created her imaginary friends to take the place of her sister?

Okay, I used to cut myself. I started about last year in March, and they weren't really deep, I just scratched them kind of deep, but you can still see those a little, even though they're my oldest ones. Those scars on my left forearm, and now they're just a light reddish color, you can still tell they're there, though. I also have some newer ones from the summer, and they're on my left wrist. These scars are also fading pretty well, they're still a light reddish color, as well, but I have one that I made this November, and it was kind of deep. Now, it's raised and still a reddish color. I'm using vitamin E capsules, and my mom's Stretch mark cream, which should fade redness and make the scar smoother, but it still hasn't faded. How do I make these scars fade faster? I've decided to quit this horrible habit once and for all because of that deep cut. I know that they're fading pretty well, so that must mean that someday they'll be barely noticeable, right? Please help. Thanks.

It is very easy for me to hate certain people. In fact it gets to the point where I enjoy hating them. Especially people who are arrogant. Or people who are crule to the less fortunate. Why does thoughts of people making fun of others cause such rage? When I was in the Military I overheard someone making fun of one of my friends. Without even thinking about it I hit this person. Then I was discharged from the service with a boxer's fracture. I was discharged general under honorable conditions because they said I had a Personality Disorder. My hand is still messed up to this day from what happened. I don't want to hurt anybody! But when people make fun of my family, or myself or one of my friends I can get pretty mean! I used to get picked on everyday at school (when I was in school). Until I began decking people everytime they looked at me wrong. I was also abused every way imaginable as a child. My temper seems hard for me to control.

For some reason I just don't enjoy life anymore. When I go out with friends and my girlfriend and stuff I just don't enjoy being with them for some reason anymore. Lately I've been avoiding talking to my friends on the phone and not hanging out with them outside school. I know they care about me alot too, and love being with me. I know my family cares about me.

Life has just lost its touch with me, nothing is enjoyable anymore. I know I'm not gonna get far in life either I've been failing school since 7th grade, in my sophmore year of high school now, I'm not gonna make it to college, I'm gonna end up poor and a crappy life working 2 jobs everyday like my father. I have no dreams in life. Nothing is fun anymore. I've been thinking about killing myself for the past 2 months now. Maybe someone else for excitement, something new to happen in my life. I feel like I'm going insane too.

I don't know what's wrong with me...

Whenever I had been under stress, I have always used sex to relieve it. Now I have become so used to it that it is always on top of my head and it is consuming most of my valuable free time.
How do I channelize my mind to more meaningful things in life as well as manage stress effectively ?

Okay, so when you're in a situation where you go to the doctor/psych for symptoms of something, and they ask you if you think about suicide a lot, what exactly happens if you say yes?

It just seems like a response like that takes things to an entirely different level, and I'm wondering what the doctor or psychologist you're seeing would do in that situation? I'm figuring they'd have to alert someone else or maybe just put you on heavy anti-depressants, but yeahhh.
