I think I have a major anxiety disorder and have had it for the past 7 years. I also think I have major depression since 3 years ago. I just turned 18 yesterday. Because of my anxiety I really can't talk to anyone about this. I cant even talk to my parents about it. I would never think about killing myself. My best friend is the only person who I would feel comfortable talking to about this and he's moving out of the country next month. That's only made it worse, so I don't even want to tell him because he already feels bad that he has to move. I can't affoard going to see a doctor and my parents really wouldn't want to hear this. They are both deeply religious and I have heard all my life any mental problem can only be solved through god and not any man, so even if I could tell them they wouldn't really do much about it except tell me to pray. What the hell am I supposed to do? I really feel helpless.

I have schizoid personality disorder and dysthymia in addition to a brain which never quits thinking. I feel no pleasure; I comprehend the reaction and recognition but feel nothing. I am a misanthropic loner; a hater of people and avoider of social situations. I have no desire for human relationships. I have a few friends that I live with, but if I lived on my alone, I would never invite them over. Little interest in sex.

I've often wondered what the point of existence is and for most people, it's a combination of love, self confidence, and purpose. For me, love does not apply and seeing as how I feel no pleasure, it is quite difficult for me to pursue dreams that I'm not overly passionate about.

Where do I find my happiness? Is it a possibility to do things that would be very hurtful and anti-social in nature(severing ties with parents and society in general, even people that care about me) in order to be happy? What do you do when you're not the example written about?

I've recently had some VERY bad experiences. Passed out in odd places and became belligerent, blacking out. This is very atypical. This is after drinking too much, but not enough that it would usually cause this kind of reaction. I may have a not drink at all.

I have depression and I feel as though my family don't care. I only live with my mum, and she never asks about me or considers how im feeling. I hate that she never listens to me and makes me feel terrible alot. Im sick of getting walked over. I see a phychiastrist and she never asks how the appointments go. Why wont she acknowledge me. She seems to think i am self-managable, but most of the time i just want to scream and give up trying.

I'm having a terrible time coping about a guy I was w/ for a year & half. When we were together he told me he wanted to commit suicide. It was an ongoing issue so I recommended he talk to a professional but he wanted to talk to only me. I tried my hardest to help him.Come to find out he kept a secret that he had a child he never met w/a one night stand before we met.I helped him come to terms with it & when he finally met the child he ended our relationship to pursue one with the mother of his child. I found all this out when I was in the hospital this past summer.I was pretty ill & the response I got was never to call him again.There after he manipulated me into thinking I aided him into going back to the mother because I told him he should be a part of his child's life. They r not together anymore.But I'm having an awful time dealing w/ how he treated me after I helped him with his serious threats of suicide. Ironically, i'm seeking prof. help b/of this:( I'm not looking for sympathy

Something that doesn't have to do with computers and is interesting or not interesting but good for someone with that personality? A real career that you keep over a lifetime and get paid good money to do.

i know this sounds like a funny question, but my mother is bipolar and pushes everyone out of her life, whether she means to or not. i am sad to say that i have finally had enough. i'm afraid she will hurt herself if she loses the last person that she cares about. i believe she needs help, but i can't do it. this is the only solution that i can think of, a very sad solution. what should i do?

My boyfriend and I like to cuddles and such, but the other day when I ased him a question, he said no. He claims that the reason why he said no is because he is to fat. He isnt fat at all though. He is 5'6",5'7" 15yrs old, and 130lbs but during the summer his weight dramaticly changes to 110lbs. His friends sometimes call him fat and I was wondering if that would be part of the cause.
What I am wondering, does it sound like he has some type of disorder? I need some information to put my nerves to rest. Could I also have links to sights that would give my information about eating or wieght disorders.

Thanks For All Your Help!
