Everyone I know seems to be on them these days.

There must be something seriously wrong with the world if so many people need to take pills to make them feel ok.

What do you think is causing all this depression in society?

Do you think that when we used to live in caves and hunt for our food in the big wide open people used to get depressed?

For anyone that's on or has tried Lamictal, what side effects did you experience? I took it for the first time tonight and a few hours later I got this bruising sharp pain in my left eye. I think that the Lamictal is causing this pain. I'm wondering if i should stop using it or not. I know I'll have to see my doctor about it, but was wondering if anyone else experienced this or knows about the drug.

I'm a little anxious about using perscription drugs, as I had an anaphylactic reaction a few years ago (to an unrelated drug) but still fear a reoccurance.

just wondering what it could mean if someone gets these weird feelings..

feels scared to go outside or to see people and not just scared like has a panic attack and simply will fight to the end just not to go even if its to a place they have wanted to go to for years etc..

wont come out of their room or anything unless they are forced to or there are no people around.
also gets agressive towards family members for no reason, or gets angry really easily

and doesnt feel like doing anything they used to enjoy and is always kind of frustraited.

I have an issue that I want to address but don’t have a clue how to deal with it. Therefore, I need YOUR help to guide me! I am a 22 year old and my problem is that I am way too nice to people. Number of times people have taken advantage of me but I did not have the power to stand up for myself. Many times it hurts me mentally but because I am afraid that people will think that I am mean, I let them take advantage of me. If I try to stand up for myself, then I become grumpy, angry and harsh on others. However, if I try to be nice to others, I am way too nice to them. In other words, it is either black or white. I don’t know when to be nice and when to raise my voice. Moreover, if I stand up for myself, I pretend to be harsh outside but inside I am literally shaking and constantly thinking of the step that I took on a certain situation. Please try to help me because I am in deep pain and I need your assistance badly.
Thanks

I think I might be depressed, the last week I've been crying for no reason, feeling uninterested in some stuff, and not feeling happy as often... nothing moves me, and I feel like I have no feelings whatsoever... like I'm numb inside, or that my feelings are asleep... I'm like blah about everything...

I didn't really care until it started affecting my relationship with my BF... he's perfect for me, and if he can't make me happy no one else can. There's nothing wrong about him... but sometimes, although I know I love him, i don't feel the love like I did a couple of weeks ago. However when I get to feel happy, I feel the love very strongly...

Can the depressive state in which I am right now be the cause of me not feeling as much love for my BF?? Or am I really starting to love him less? HELP! I wouldn't want to love him less, because he's so great... I'm confused because negative thoughts are all over....

Thanks everyone!

Hi. I was just wondering about professional counseling. I know about it and stuff, but I was wondering how one would approach one's mother about it... =/
Ya see I think I need to talk to someone. In the past I've had self injury problems, depression problems, and eating disorders. My mom doesn't know about anything but the cutting (and perhaps the depression, but I havent said anything). My question is how would I talk to my mom about my wanting to speak to someone? What do I say? How do I start such a conversation?
Thank you for your answers. Much appreciated!

I'm at a new school since 9 months and I don;t like my new friends a lot. Help?
I moved to a new city 9 months back. I really liked my frnds back in my old city.
.I made quite a few friends here, but i still feel something's missing. I feel lonely at times. I thought I'd get over it within 6 months or so, but i still feel the same loneliness at times. I can't make new and better friends because everyone here is like that. We don;t share much in common.
What should i do? One moment I feel fine and the next moment I feel depressed and feel like crying. My friends like me, but sometimes they leave me out of things. They've all been in the same class since the past 6 yrs.
I was at my old school for 9years.

Does anyone have a cure for procrastination. Whenever I have work to do I always push it off to the side and never get it done. This is so strong its been going on for my entire life and can never get anything done when I want to. Though I always get it done it creates unhealthy stress for me and I get to the point where I don't care and I'd rather live with the stress than do the work. I've always been lazy when it cam to work but I wouldn't be lazy to the point where I'd sit on the couch and become overweight. I always keep myself in good shape but struggle with work all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions to help this problem?

I don't know why, but whenever I sleep in my room I can't sleep soundly through the night, and I worry about things. I sleep better if I stay the night at somebody elses house, or even if I sleep on the floor in my parent's room. I have a nice full sized bed. I also feel more depressed in my room. My walls are a happy color and I like my room, but why does this happen?

Paranoid people have a different frame of reference of reality, how do you convince them that they are not thinking normally?

my sister in law is driving me nuts, she thinks:
1) that I'm breaking into her house and looking through her stuff
2) that I do stuff on purpose to drive her crazy
3) they are playing songs on the radio carrying secret messages for her
4) everyone is withholding important information about her health, like she has AIDS and no one wants to tell her
5) everything has a hidden meaning, like when I played a game with her son and left the die with the number "3" on it when I left, she thought I was telling her she only had 3 years left to live

I've tried to tell her that she should get some help, but she claims that there is nothing wrong with her and that I'm the one who's crazy. I'm at my wit's end. I'm thinking of writing off to get some mental health brochures sent to her, but I can't find any info. She doesn't have the internet, no email.

I have been hearing voices on and off for a few years. I have tried a few different drugs. Most doctors seem to just brush me off since I'm poor. When i was on med's the voices would always get louder when it was a normal time for me too take meds. I'm also afraid to take some meds because , in the back of my head i feel that i can beat it , instead of haveing some nasty side effects. At this point i don't know what too do.

It's been 16 months since we've parted ways, but I'm still obsessed with my ex, who is now married and will have nothing to do with me. I even can't function even at the most basic level. Over these past 16 months, Ive seen multiple psychatrists, taken over 10 kinds of psychiatric meds, and nothing lessens the intensity of my feelings, even though I haven't talked to my ex in so many months. I don't see any end in sight to this, and I see no indications that this is going to stop any time soon (if ever) and quite frankly, Im scared.

I've heard of people using hypnosis as a means to change their deep set behavior.Well, does anyone have any personal knowledge of whether it is possible to use hypnosis to either help me forget about my ex, or convince me that life is worth living without my ex? I don't have much money, but if this is possible, I will find somehow find a way to pay for it. I'm willing to try anything, and I'm willing to give everything to feel normal again.
