Was I abused as a child?
I don't know what to do. This year I did an evaluaton of my life and I really think I might have been abused a child. I don't remember it at all, but I have some symptoms. When I was in my teens, I was very promiscuous. I stopped being promiscuous in my early twenties, but I would get in relationships with people that I knew would not be suitable for a serious relationship. Then I when I got older, I fell in love with two men that I believe are both closeted homosexuals.(i read that this is a way of avoiding intamcy) I also have never achieved orgasm during pentration except for two times after I smoked marijuana.

I'm 28, so I don't want to throw any more of my life away.. but I don't know how to make myself better.

I don't have money for counseling and I'm not even sure if I was abused, but obviously something's wrong with me. Can any that's been abused shed some light? Do any of you know of any books that might help?

I am curious and confused. A major characteristic of borderline personality disorder is an intense fear of abandonment. So i want to know why the only advice i can ever receive as a carer for someone with borderline is to run for the hills. The logic behind it is that people with borderline suck the life out of everyone they get close to and destroy them, which i get and can understand why it would be easier to run. But what confuses me is that people with the illness are already desperatly afraid of losing those they care about, this fear is what causes their behaviours and the source of their overwhelming pain. If i run to protect myself from being destroyed am i not just continuing to enhance my friend's pain. if we all run whenever we meet a borderline who will help them. Are we running just because it is too hard to stay. Or is running to save yourself actually the harder thing to do?

I know the latest talk seems to be about global warming but it also seems to be a political tool as well and the scientist the government are paying to analyze this, well wouldn't they say that there is a problem just so they will receive funding?

They say you attract what you think and I guess that is true because I believe everyone is married and I'm only worthy of sex. Married men hit on me all the time which makes me believe I'm correct. If I start thinking that everyone is single and that I'm worthy of love, will I get that? How do I change my way of thinking. It is like it is grounded into my head. Is there a book or something to help me with this?

I'm doing a particularly demanding masters course and it looks like i'm going to have difficulty passing it. it's causing me to feel incredibly stressed and depressed and have low self -esteem issues. and i'm also having trouble getting to sleep at night. i've been in psychotherapy for the last 2 months but it doesn't seem to be helping so much as yet. also an added pressure of my girlfriend being in a foreign country at the moment. i'm planning to go over there to live with her after the course but failing may jeopardise this. i just need help to deal with this pressure!

My male friend who is 26 years old gets into fights all the time and seems to have severe anger issues. Also drinks and loses friends easily...what is his problem (besides being a jerk?)

My mother has been complaining about going through periods of time where she's so depressed she doesn't want to get up in the morning and cries all the time. During this time she also tends to get extremely angry and lashes out at everyone around her. When she isn't like this, she's so full of energy that she won't even sit still and tries to clean the entire house. She gets so wound up when everyone doesn't feel the same as he rthough, during this period, that she takes over every chore in the house and wears herself out and gets sick.

Is this manic depression? I want her to seek help before she really hurts herself but I don't know if this is even the issue or if it's something else. Disorders like schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder tend to run in our family, if that helps at all.

My twin sister's son in law was found dead this morning. He was 26 and left behind a beautiful little five year old daughter. He was involved in a near fatal auto accident (passenger) that almost took his life a few years ago and I think he was addicted to pain killers and sleeping pills. The coronor is saying suicide, I feel that accidental death due to overdose is what should be listed as cause of death. What do you think?

I am trying to figure out if this is why I am feeling soooo blue! I also just quit smoking (this is the 3rd time) I have never been depressed becuase of quiting before. But this could be it.
Or maybe it is with the leaving of the holidays. That always seems to bring me down. Ya know, you prepare for months, spend lots of time with family and friends, and poof it is over.
Please help. I am driving my husband crazy with all of my sadness. (No, nothing has happened at all)

I went up to 37.5 mg maybe 1-2 wks ago and lately I've been feeling down. I don't know if it's because Christmas is over or what. I've been irritable and not very happy about anything. I do have moments where I'm happy and laugh but it seems mostly I feel blah. I don't think I was very depressed before I started this. I mainly starting taking paxil for social anxiety and to gain more motivation to take care of my 3 kids. Anyone have similar experiences?
