The police dragged me out of my home and locked me in a tiny room for 55 days. They threw feces at me.
They drove me out of my mind.
I feel numb. It was two months ago. I cannot feel any emotion except for a feeling of absolute horror. I try to go out with friends as much as possible.... nothing helps. It won't go away.
Forget councellors.... I have had enough of them in my life.
Does PTSD ever go away? I don't feel normal.

I've had major depression for most of my life, I'm 32 years old. I tried pretty much all the meds available to no success. I'm tired of living this way. Does anybody have experience with ECT or Vagus nerve stimulation? Thanks

Before i forget, rockdodge, thank you so much for that phone number, i am going to call them. I have had so much support off you guys tonight, i am gonna take the bull by the horns, and HELP my son, the army haven`t. I have just phoned him, explained, asked him to let me help him, he was sober for once, very emotional, said he needs help. I am so grateful for your answers on this one, i told him, i think it made him more aware of the fact, he is being so irrational, so many people recognise he has a problem. Thank you all, so much, i beleive you just may have really helped him here, he is coming round monday, to speak to combat stress team, and the number rockdodge gave us, he wants help, no doubt about that, i am gonna take the bull by the horns, get him help, he was close to tears when i spoke to him, said his life is a mess. He is coming round to talk in 10 mins. This is what we needed, moral support, there has been none!! Can i say thankyou all so much for the support?

Okay... First off, my aunt (fathers sister) killed herself 5 yrs back. My dad has slowly fallen into depression. Although now he is at the bottom of the pitts. It's really bad. My mother and father seperated after 30 yrs of marriage. He has lost everything ( home, and all money ) through gambleing. He has enough to buy an RV and start over. I mean he can make it, but barely. Although he is just losing his mind. He has so much guilt, and lives in the past. Is ashamed of who he is. Says he deserves to go to hell. He says he already feels dead. He knows he's selfish for wanting to end his life, although can't help his feelings. Crys all the time. Talks about his mistakes in life, has NO hope. I try everything to cheer him up, and make sure he knows I will be there for him to start over. Iv'e said all I can say. He won't listen. I sat on the suicide hotline on hold for over an hour last night. He refused help. I feel helpless as to knowing what to do? Who has been through this? Help?

My son was a good lad, he joined the army at 16, excelled, he went all over the world, doing all sorts, jumping out of planes, bull run in spain etc. I was so proud! He was posted to Iraq, excelled there as well, aged 18, was put up for promotion. He suffered an ambush, was nearly killed, saw horrors of war that day. He left the forces on medical grounds, got help, but it was brief. He is now like someone i don`t recognise, he is always in trouble with the law, never out of court, he is violent, aggressive, and i think he is proud of the way he acts now. He seems to relish in being put through the courts, i think he has gone nuts. I am so worried, i have got him in with a psychiatrist, but he is like an uncontrollable animal, it is killing me. He rang me tonight, almost proud, cause he got arrested again last night. i weep, he is on self destruct, he is only 21 now, but has no respect for anyone anymore, especially the law. Where will this end?

Every time i have to go to work, wether it is just a once and awhile help at a job or a regular job? I hate this feeling! I have been prescribed Prozac for anxiety but it makes me tired so I don't take it often. I get plenty of rest, probably too much. Any suggestions?

My husband still suffers from depressive illness even after years of trial and error with medications. He is on Effoxor, Ablilify, Lamictal, Synthroid, and testosterone. Anyone out there found a good drug treatment for hard to treat depression? Also, is there a good alternative for Effexor which has nasty sexual side affects?

My self confidence and esteem are at an all-time low. I live with a husband who doesnt want me and two kids of 17 & 18 who generally treat me like dirt. Im fed up with life and my favourite time of the day is when I go to bed and to sleep.

Can depression/anxiety disorder be deadly? Meaning, it can literally kill/destroy people just like cancer/AIDS does?
I have always downplayed mental illness in life thinking it is nothing serious compared to physical illness.

I love this girl with all my heart but I don't know if she even likes me, I think she likes my cousin, who is the complete opposite of me. He's taller, more handsome than me I don't think so, but I guess height is everything now in days. He's very immature, and he lives a reckless life, he has changed a lot. I miss my old cousin because the old one never tried to act tough, my cousin was fun, but now he wants to be like those damn gangstas. I've tried to be like him to get the girl of my dreams because she lives around his block, but I've realized that "why am I so eager to change into a monster"? I don't have to be in the streets looking for trouble. At school I see her, but I love her so much that I can't look at her forward or speak to her, I could talk to other girls, but I guess the problem is that I'm afraid of rejection. Porn is my other problem, I want to quit it, but it's so hard, it feels natural but it isn't, it messes you up big time.
