Im a teenager, and i think i suffer from shyness, and want to know how to get rid of it and any tips u hav. Its not that bad; but it does affect me in some ways. I want to be more confident, so that i can start conversation with anyone, that i dont really know to get to know them better. However, normally i am too shy, and not confident enough to do it! I wish i was more confident to be able to talk to anyone, but i think i worry to much how ill sound etc. how can u talk ur mind more easily? and how can u start a conversation better? My life is pretty cool at the moment, however, i feel i just need to be more assertive and confident, and push myself more, so that i dont feel im losing out to others. Sometimes i feel confident, but other times im not so much, i.e.phoning up someone i dont know? How can u just not care how you'll look? Im sure you all have some tips, and i really wANT to improve, so say whatever. Thank u very much for all ur views!I think a few changes may work a miracle

I have a mental disability. I was on SSI for a year, then the judge took it away on me. I reapplied and got denied, so now I'm under 2 appeals. I have a lawyer. Are there anyt special tests i should request? What kind of information should be in my records/dr. info ? SSI said I'm not severe enough to keep me from working, but I know I am. ANy help would be appreciated, especially from someone who works with Social Security or is on SSI...

I remember reading a while back that your dog could be used to cope with depression the same way a dog is used for blind people, or deaf people. I was wondering if someone could get me more information on the subject? THanks!

I have a number of different symptoms, including constant dizziness, severe fatigue, no appetite, and vision changes. My doctor has said that he thinks I have depression. I have been treated for depression before, but I do not FEEL depressed as I was back then. I don't feel sad, don't want to isolate myself. I'm generally a very happy person. I'm willing to take it into consideration, but I really don't think this is what is going on...

Can any one help ?

I have a close Family member who has some rather alarming behaviour at times.
They lie about anything and into great detail( all the time and this is very believable)
Stole money From Family members and employment. ( Large sums of cash and has also been sent to prision for this )
very controlling of everyone especially her Children ( who have all grown up)
Extreamly manipulating and must be in control or needed
She likes to be the hero
Must be centre of attention ( all of the time)
Lies about illness and appiontments
Lies about abuse from her dead Husband for sympathy
Has recently re-decorated identical to my house
puts others down so she looks better or the victim

But also comes across as a nice person at times ??
This is really confusing and you can't believe anything
anymore.

Does anyone have any idea what we can do and if there is a name for this disorder ????

If so what are you doing to beat your depression, medication is not the answer, so how do you cope?

I have nothing important to be sad about, I have a good job, my husband loves me very, very much, my family is fantastic and loving, I just had a dissapointment since I started a business and had no success at all but what makes me feel bad is my health, I'm always sick, if it's not a cold, then it's a problem with my kidneys or its an asthma attack but it's "something" then I go to the doctor I take my medicine and some days after I'm sick again. I'm quite sure this all is caused by myself, what do you think?

Yesterday, while at the begining of one of my classes, I abruptly left. There is only six people in the class, at best, so yes, I am sure my absence was noticed. I left without any explanation, because I was having a panic attack. I didn't tell my professor, and I don't think I should tell him now, but I am so embarrassed. But I have to go back tommorrow, because the professor will explain the major research project we have to do. But I don't think that I can go back there because I feel so embarrassed and I don't want to explain myself. Should I drop the course? I'm really interested in this class. It's a graduate-level class, but I was allowed to enroll in it because I have good grades. I'm really interested in the subject matter, but everytime I go to this class, I get horrible panic attacks. What should I do? I have quite a few Ws on my transcripts, and I don't want anymore, but if I have to go back to that class, I will just die.

I have looked at some light boxes but I cannot afford them. Does anyone know of some similar products that are under $100? I heard about a visor that some people use for this. Please help, I get so depressed in the winter that I can barely function. Only on sunny days can I manage to get things done.
