My mother-in-law has all of these symptoms and I cannot determine if it is mental or a personality disorder. She has a serious problem with making up things and low self esteem. I have confronted her when I know she is lying and she will never admit she is lying.

I end up drinking or eating or having sex with guys I dont really care that much for and I feel all the more empty for it. It was my crappy attempt at feeling anything at all. I can calm myself down or relax myself to let anything through. I dont want to go through all this meaningless crap anymore. How do I learn to feel despite the pain?

What do you call a person that always thinks that something is wrong with themselves, or that they believe that theyre very sick when theyre not?

Over the past few years I have become less social. Like whenever i'm with a group of people I rarely contribute to the conversation. Also, I always feel like people are judging me even when they're probably not paying any attention to what i'm doing. And i'm always worried about something. I either worry that I might have something physically wrong with me by pretty much seeing symptoms that arent there. And i'm always worrying about something in school like homework or a test. I know other kids get stressed out over school, but I think I worry about it more than most and its not like i'm obsessed with my grades. Is there anything wrong with me or do I just worry too much?

Ive recently been put on amitriptyline to help with my anxiety and help me sleep at night

Ive been taking them for roughly 3 weeks now, the first week was 10mg the 2nd week was increased to 20mg and now im taking 25mg

Im just a little worried because my brain feels like its being compressed
Its mainly just above behing my eyes where it feels like somethings going on inside my brain
Im also havin sharp hot sensation pulses mainly at the top of my head, its like a hangover headache or something its hard to describe

Should i be concerned, im just worried what the long term effects are using amitriptyline

I can cope with this compressed feeling, id like to stay on amitriptyline as i am convinced they are helping my anxiety but the sharp pulses at the top of my head im more concerned about, its not severe but does irritate me a little

I cant see my GP for another week so it would be nice to hear yours view

How do you manage this disorder ? Are there any meds out there that are better for this condition than others ? My brother is only 25 years old...I'm 36. He gets so ill and somewhat violent with horrible language...over the slightest things. Like recently, he was trimming his crew-cut hair with clippers and then all of a sudden burst into a rage because the clippers weren't working properly. He was cussing horribly and even told me to shut the f**k up when I told him his hair looked fine. He also has a history of using drugs and alcohol, which amplifies his problem and temper. He can be calm and gentle, funny and comical. But usually he's anxious and somewhat paranoid and he has been involved in a shady lifestyle of dealing drugs, using them and he's wrecked many cars and has been in jail several times...the longest stay was about 6 months in which he recently got out and has had thise violent outburst and he talks about weird things. I'm starting to become afraid of him. Any advice ?

I don't usually dream and I have been dreaming of this person and smelling there smell in mid air. I also for the last couple of weeks have been feeling someones hand on my head to the point I look to see if someone is there. This is really freaking me out because the person I smell and have dreamed about is still here on earth, I think, we have ended relations. I also start crying uncontrolable out of no where. So am I going crazy or what? I normally am a very strong person so you can see why this is blowing my mind. I also know depression and I don't feel that way. What the Heck? I am a busy person, 2 teenage boys and have started a second business, so I really have no time for such nonsence. Any ideals?

I think simply taking drugs and expecting instand results is not a good idea. However, I think most Americans believe there is a pill for everything. What do you think?

I know a lot of people may ask this question. But, I am finding myself on the cusp of a nervous breakdown. I have been dealing with depression for a little over two years and I'm at the breaking point. I went to my college therapist and I have been diagnosed with dsthymiuh, the milder form of depression. Seeing a psychologist was wonderful. But, at my university, we are limited to so many sessions and I am out of sessions. So, I am trying a support group but I find that difficult because I never have the opportunity to bring up my issues. I am going to begin taking Prozac. But, honestly I am not sure if that will help. I am Christian, so I find depression especially hard to deal with. I know we are supposed to be filled with eternal joy. But, I am not. I try to read my bible but I get sooo distracted. I don't know, I just find it so hard to get through a bible study. I try praying but honestly I don't feel God is going to release this from me. I don't know what to do at this point.

I just moved out of my parents house. I had moved home for awhile because of financial issues. Now, I am VERY upset because all of a sudden I have to pay for all sorts of unexpected things. I thought things would get better once I got money back from my tax return, but then I ended up owing money! I also needed to spend a chunk of money on some medical bills and I needed a bed to sleep on. Well, I guess my question is how can I get over this money issue? I constantly find myself crying about money and I am sick of things being this way. Worst part is that I can't stop thinking about all the bills that are yet to come. What can I do to be happy? Without money I can't go out...this is all very depressing. What can I do?

I have been cutting myself for months, it helps me get over pain. My friend saw the cuts one day at school and I begged him not to tell anyone. He said he wouldn't but I should. Instead, I tried not to cut as much, but I couldn't stop. I'm not sure if I want to tell my mother though, because the cutting still gets rid of pain. I love my mother, but no offense to her, she has a very closed mind. I'm not sure she would even understand. If I do tell her she might just call some counselor when I don't need that. I need to heal alone. What should I do?

I think I do. I'm interested in hearing stories from people whose parents or loved ones have BPD. You can give an overview or tell about a specific incident. I know these things can vary widely, but I'd like to see a cross-section so I can begin to figure out if that's the problem. (Parent won't see therapist, so professional evaluation is impossible anyway.)

How do you get over someone you feel used you. How do get over feeling low about yourself because of it. Its a horrible feeling, to feel "scammed and devalued" as a person when you did all you could to do right by this person, especially knowing him for almost two years, someone you cared about and really seemed he cared about you. i helped him with suicide feelings he had, listened to him go on and on, spent every night on the phone with him until he fell asleep. He cheated on me and he isn't w/ her anymore. He has hurt me and on top of it treats me like I dont exist and he wants no part of me. I know he doesnt deserve me if he can do all this, but how can someone be this way. I feel forgotten by him, and as much of a jerk he is, it still hurts to be treated this way. Do people like this really forget someone like me?
I dont trust anyone now, I see people differently, I dont have an open mind and its been six months since this all happened.

I am getting divorced. I also have an anxiety disorder and sometimes feel depressed. My condition is treated with medication and I don't think anyone could tell. But I worry that anyone would want me because I have these conditions. Would anyone love me again if they knew I had these things

My mom went into the Dr. the other day complaining of stomach cramps. A hospital stay and lots of tests later they found a mass on her pancreas and spots on her liver. Theyre going to get the results of whether it's cancerous or not soon. I pray to God it isn't, you dont know how hard i pray. I didnt ever used to pray, but when shoved face to face with a life threatening illness, you start to. You start to hope, and pray,and wish, and try to make bargins with God. Ill do this or this if you just let her live till old age. Id do anything for her...Anything if it just meant that she would get better. Id take her place if i could.
Everyone takes their parents for granted, including me, and i feel like crap for doing so. I used to get so upset with her for trival things, now it doesn't matter. It should of never mattered, i was just to selfish and to big of a ***** to realize it. I dont want to lose her like this. A mom is supposed to help plan your wedding, help decorate your house, and help name your grandchildren, and make life just a little more difficult in between.
All i can think about now is going home and taking care of my family, not study stupid chemistry! If i could i would withdraw from all my classes and start at henry ford next semester, or wayne state or whereever, it wouldnt matter as long as i was close to home.
Look up Pancreatic cancer and see what you find, and tell me you wouldnt be scared too.
So i guess the point to this note was to ask anyone reading it please put my mother in your thoughts. Say a prayer, make a wish, do anything. I dont care if youre not religious, i wasnt really untill now. Ill do anything for a miracle. Please

problems, not crazy mental, but, more like the 'How the hell will I ever manage to handle this crap?'....I used to go to a place in the last town I lived in, two, three years ago...they helped. My problem is, I need a sliding scale payment. Some weeks I make zero dollars, sometimes 50.....my old place was free as long as I attended all the programs they set me up for....Is there any place like that now? Anyone who will talk to me, help me get my head on straight?

Okay, so I've been having flashbacks/memories from when I was 2 years old. I very clearly remember being in a certain setting with certain people... I can remember it so clearly that I can describe the setting by it's wall color, ect...
For example, I remember looking up into a room in the hallway with purple walls and white shelves with stuffed animals on them. I didn't know the location until now, when my mom told me that that was my room when I was 2. We moved out of that house when I was 3, and I haven't been back there since. She never told me that the walls were purple or anything...nor did she ever describe that house to me.
I asked her tonight if we ever lived in a house with a purple room.. she was surprised because I was too little to remember.

Long story short....
Is it really possible?.. to remember a memory that happened when you were only 2 years of age?
