It took me a while to accept, but I really think my gf has some serious unresolved issues that are going to take some pro. help. Being in a relationship w/ her has taken its toll on me now, too. I have got an appointment set for ME now next week, but really (and I am very serious) want her to go at some point if, for no other reason, because she is never going to be happy w/ me or anyone else until she takes care of whatever this is (and I think it's pretty heavy stuff). Any advice?

Before anyone asks or suggests, yes, we have talked and she is VERY closed about this stuff. I let it go for a while and tried to let her "come to me" and now all she can do is pull me close then push me away. She might hate me for this, but I care enough about her not to care if she does. She needs a new perspective on things and I've given up on the idea she can do that herself.

And please be nice. This is, unfortunately, a serious question.

I take pills for bipolar and also for panic. I am having an attack right now so I took them both. The Dr said it was ok. But I also took my birth control pill, and I want to take Motrin too since I believe the cause of my anxiety is the pain I am having....is it really a good idea to take 4 different pills for 4 different reasons?

I need answers ASAP

AA and Al Anon use a technique referred to as "emotional detachment" where the idea is to let a person who is making destructive choices make them and leave them to deal with the consequences of their choices. Is that all there is to it? Any further insight into achieving this but still being supportive?

I am taking meds for anxiety and depression.I have been checked over by several doctors with no real physical problems according to them.Lately I had the flu which took me awhile to recover.I recovered doing better than I had been with the flu.I realize that most of what I feel is anxiety.Most days im ok around the house but get a little winded now and then but find myself laying around alot.For the last few days I have been preparing for two dogs that we aquired and they came today..I have been really nervous more than usual the last two days especially today.We went out to visit with the man that brought them here and I got winded and felt weird and very tired.Its very cold outside and I felt weak and heart raced..I got nauseated and felt a little breathless..and got anxious because of the way i was feeling..tonight i worry that there was some illness they didnt find..other than anxiety.Is it normal to experience anxiety from being active after not being and fear due to anxiety?

The lady at mental health told me she was going to fight me saying she doesn't need a guardian... my mentally retarded relative need around clock support... and guidance shes 48 yrs old and needs help in major areas of her life
they don't know her and just want the income her services provide i believe... I told them i want service still for her but not from them..

My niece was diagnosed as ADHD as a child. Now she has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Does one disease progress into another? Or is it a case of misdiagnosis? Is it hereditary? She has 2 children who act just like she did as a child.

Ok
So I don't drink...I've never been the type to party hard or anything so sometimes I'm kinda naive about these things. This guy I met told me he has about 5 drinks every weekend (I think at least 2 must be beer). During new year's eve he had 15 drinks!! including 5 beers, 3 shots, and the other stuff was some kind of vodka I think.
Is this normal? even if it's once a year, isn't 15 drinks too much??

I am having a really hard time remembering simple things like my atm number. In the middle of a sentence I can't think of the right word, for example I'll call my keys the remote. It is very fruterating because I'm a nursing student and my schoolwork is getting more and more difficult. I don't want to go to the doctor because I don't want to hear anything scary. So I'de just like some reassurance that I'm not going crazy.

I suffer frequently with depression and anxiety. I have been on tablets for sixteen years from the doctor but nothing has worked. Can I beat this naturally? If so how? I have adopted a healthy diet. Stopped alcohol, caffeine and started taking regular exercise, is there anything else I can do?

I felt no different after previous psychiatrist appointments, so I don't know if I need that kind of help. I feel like I want to hurt myself, and that I wish I wasn't here. I'm kinda still not really believing that I feel down, still, after first noticing how bad I felt about 3 years ago. I don't know if I've actually been happy during that time apart from the very odd occasion. Do people actually feel happy? I was happy getting exam results, after I'd swam with sharks/scuba dived, and also at New Year after a bit of alcohol and I wasn't being ignored for once (I felt I existed). I can't even smile properly, I feel as if I've totally forgotten, like the mask has broken, and I just look like a clown when I do now.

I've spoken online to various people who have been concerned, which I am grateful for, but I still feel lonely.
I no longer have my conscience trying to stop me thinking about suicide, or trying to recorrect the bad thoughts. I have lost motivation.

I swear I have been so traumatized and had to put up with so many Bipolar mean..and I do mean mean/evil people.I do feel sorry for people with mental illness....but I find that people who suffer from just Major Depressive Disorder or depression NOS are not near or even in the same planet when it comes to being mean/evil like some of the people I know who are Bipolar......Although I must say that some of the people I know who are Bipolar are not all mean spirited...Is it just the personality of the person?
