I am having a terrible time coping about a guy I was with for a year and 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 and when he finally met the child he ended our relaionship 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 and the response I got was never to call him again. And 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 are not together anymore. But I am having an awful time dealing with how he treated me after I helped him with his serious threats of suicide. Ironically, i'm seeking prof. help b/of this:(

He has smoked cannabis now for at least 12 years he is only 25 years old.he is deffinetly not the same person he used to be ,i think its affecting his mind hes not very easy to convince either,he leads a normal life he keeps fit has a full time job and genrally does whats right by his son.i dont like the idea of him being near my kids when hes stoned,should i deal with this and confront him about quitting or leave him to it hes old enough to make his own decissions afterall.

Any other 30 year olds or older have this happen? I'll be 30 years old pretty soon. When I was a little younger, i.e. college and high school, I always figured once I got out of college I'd find a career, beautiful wife, etc, and start establishing myself. This hasn't all worked out as I thought. Since I got out of college I've had 6 jobs in 6 years, and very little in the way of a satisfying love/social life. I can't seem to figure out what to do or what direction to take. Many of my friends, acquaintances and relatives seem to be getting financially settled, etc, and it's really stressing me that I'm not. I've heard of a mid-life crisis, but this seems WAY early for that. What did you do if you had this problem? Advice?

What do you do when you are depressed for weeks and want to die every day and your psychiatrist tells you to keep waiting for your meds to work and your therapist tells you to do all kinds of crap because she's convinced your problem is environmental when you know it's chemical. What do you do when your friends can't stand to be around you anymore because you're depressed, you have absolutely no one to turn to, what then?

I have a bad memory so tend to forget feelings in the past, I concentrate on how I feel at the current moment. I feel like such a *****, I'm such a horrible person. I can only think of suicide, but haven't got the will power to inflict pain on myself. I am a bit of a wimp, so I don't think I actually pose as a threat to myself, so people need not worry. Is there much point in seeing my GP? I can't try counselling or psychotherapy again, I'm too shy and have too much of an "avoidant personality" that I couldn't take part in the CBT suggested. I'm 17 so don't think they would give me drugs as it wasn't mentioned a year ago.

http://www.labelmesane.com/about/brain_zaps.htm this is just one of many articles asserting this. I read years ago that SSRI drugs like zoloft and paxil etc cause the neurotransmitter receptor sites to vanish and they may not return resuilting in permanent brain damge.

Furthermore, it is my belief that in many people even adults they make you more depressed and suicidal. Here is a FDA warning saying that. Drug companies make so much money on antidepressants--I think they try to withhold this knowledge to the public.

This is borne out in my own observations about myself. I suffered from severe cinical depression the last 20 years and took 14 antidepressants, most of them SSRI drugs like paxil. prosac, wellbutri, effexor. etc and the WHOLE TIME I was on them I was extremely and persistently suicidal having tons of suicidal ideation and thoughts nearly every day. It was living he-- on earth and caused enormous suffering. I am here by the grace of God nearly following through

if someone tells you all the time that you will be the one responsible for their death is that a type of emotional abuse?

if a parent is always saying that to their child is that ok?

Sometimes I feel a bit out of it and have a hard time concentrating. It's only been 6 days. Everyone says you have to stick it out for a month to get over the side effects and stuff, but I'm starting to feel pretty dumb. Anyone on Wellbutrin experience this?

I had a pretty decent & quiet New Year. I wasn't mad, I did something positive, I also prayed, I went to see a good movie later that day, I'm doing fine .... but I'm depressed. Could it be because I recently broke up with my boyfriend? Or could it be the thoughts I have of the things I've been thru that were painful & where I'm at with my life at this point (2007) & wish I was doing more things with myself? I'm making progress in my life but I do wish I was doing more things even though I'm working towards them. Is it normal to feel this way on New Year's or during the holidays in general?

For example, psychosis is not an illness, it is a symptom of many different mental (and physical) illnesses. And depression can occur in combination with many of the same mental (and physical) illnesses.

So why is depression regarded as a mental illness in its own right, while psychosis is simply a symptom?
