Does a certain cancer or condition run in your family? Are you a bad driver that you guess it may be an accident? Are you suicidal? Do you just have plain old bad luck?

Just curious! I know we all want to die in our sleep during old age, but chances are, we won't be lucky enough.

I have been reading up and thinking about my problem for years. I have overcome most of it and understand a great deal of what is going on inside my head. I even wrote a research paper on it two weeks ago. So why am I up at three in the morning, a nervous wreck because I think one of my friends has abandoned me? Furthermore, only because I called them on the phone once yesterday and once today and recieved no reply. Despite the fact this person has told me I am like family, why do I try now to convince myself they were just using me for some unknown reason? Why have I gone over everything I have said to her for the last three weeks, analyzing every word said trying to find a reason for this, one hopeless delusional scenario right after the one before it?

I broke with my girlfriend - with my first girlfriend.

No, I'm not dead, but trying to live and get over it. I'm flirting again with other girls, but I simply can't forget her a single day.

I remember her face in my mind; I listen to her voice to me in my head; I can almost feel her lips...

I see her in everything!!

When I go to the park we used to, I feel like crying, screaming... Don't things much worse...

And I know that there is no way we can get together again...

And I know I can't say this to anyone. We men are supposed to be strong, aren't we? Oh, and how pathetic would it look like!








..

If I could just... hug her with my soul, perhaps my emptiness would fade away... at least for a second...

.............

I don't know what to do... I don't know what to think... I just hate to feel.

I'm bipolar and haven't been taking my meds: Lithium. The problem is, I have a TERRIBLE toothache and other parts of my body are hurting. My mom and aunt were discussing that someone with lithium can't take pain killers while they still take that med, so I stopped. What would you choose: physical pain or emotional pain? I chose to stop the physical. Anyways, I have been having nasty mood swings that piss the rest of my family off. I don't physically hurt anyone, but I am pretty cocky and I protest a lot. I yell a lot and I make nasty remarks to people. I burst into tears and I'm also very irritable (can't be around others sometimes).I should take my meds, but I feel like I can't. I'm in soo much pain and no one can do anything cause 1) I have braces and they need to take them off and 2) we don't have that $ right now, apparently. And so, my mom decided that she might send me to a mental facility, if my therapist and psychiatrist give her the ok.

What do you think we should do?

I have an anger problem that out of no where I'll just get really mad for no reason, and I've tried a lot of things to help with it, but nothing really works.

My elderly aunt is 80 years old. She's quite specific about discomfort and pain she experiences at home and then when we get to the Dr., she says, "I'm doing great." It's like the opposite of hypochondria. She's not faking because she has been diagnosed with several severe conditions but it's only through testing that the doctors and nurses are able to find out that anything is wrong. I didn't think much of it at first but I'm afraid this condition is going to keep her from being diagnosed properly when I'm not there to go to the doctor's office with her. Is there a medical term for this?

what did it take to wake you up? if people are trying to intervene was it enough? what was going thru you mind when they were talking to you? that you didn't have a problem?

I'm 17 years old and have a wierd mind set. As I said in my earlier posts, I have a lot of mood swings. More specifically, at night I become a more serious person with no humor, lower voice tone, etc. But most of the time I sense military related things going through my head. At night, I always sleep with my airsoft gun under my pillow, my knife under my bed, my flashlight in hand and other things. As well as these things, I become very vigilant and somewhat parinoid at night along side with these military related thoughts. I'll be sitting at my computer desk with my dart gun on my belt and my airsoft gun infront of me. I feel invincible and feel as if I am being watched all the time and that I need to be ready to act in a pinch of time. For people who have read my other posts, does this make an opinion on my problems easier to pinpoint? Personally, I think I'm just crazy.

Or, are there any assurances that he won't relapse? We're getting really close...I'm thinking that he's going to propose over the holidays.He was clean and sober before we met, but I understand the 12 step philosophy that there is no recovered addict. I suppose, I just want assurances that y'all can't give...but I'm asking anyway.

I'm 17 years old, active in serious relationships and have constant mood swings. They happen at man times, but mostly when nighttime comes. It seems to me that during the day time I don't mentally function very well, I'm less active with my girlfriend, I feel disconfident, contempt, I can't discuss intimate things, I can't think and I'm less emotional. But when nighttime comes, all of that changes to it's exact opposite. I'm very active at night, I can really become intimate with my girlfriend, I feel very confident, I think extremely logically (this helps me write my stories much better) and I'm very emotional. But at nighttime, more things occur. I turn into a serious person, no sense of humor, etc. Hell, I even talk very sophisticated with my vocabulary and talk with a lower voice tone at night. Then the next day comes and I feel that everything I did the night before was dumb. Is there a psychological reason for this? I'm not sure who I can trust to talk about this to........

I've been feeling really depressed lately and I'll I've been wanting is to either, Get high anyway possible, Sleep all day with the help of Nyquil and to be alone. When I want that quick high (or drunk feeling) I'll couple swigs of Nyquil. I know what I'm doing is wrong but, I have no other ways of copeing with my depression. I know there are many other ways but it seems like they don't work. Another thing I do is eat, a really lot. It makes me feel really guilty because I'm fat. Atleast I think so and I really want to lose weight but, the depression isn't really helping much. What should I do?
