First of all, let me explain. In 6th and 7th grade I had no problems with confidence at all, but then for 8th grade my mother made me switch schools and it went down hill from there. Since i was so angry i started gaining alot of weight and became fat, i got made fun of at school and even worse my own mother.

My mother gets really angry sometimes and basically says im worthless, fat, ugly..everything you could think of. Well this has been going on for atleast 3 years now and at this point I hate even going to the mall because i cant stand seeing people my own age ( im 17)...If someone can please tell me how i can get my confidence and life back i would really appreciate it.

Please dont say see a doctor because i dont want to do that, THANKS

away and the person is kind of pessemistic, but not morbidly depressed like they were. They tried a few antidepressents, and nothing really made much of a difference. Is it likely they will experience something similar in the future? I would say, for about a year or so they have been fine.

I've been going to the doctors for the last 4 months for anxiety attacks and have been on Effexor and Ativan. My teacher who is my friend is very worried about me becuase im so easily put in tears or close too, my sleeping and eating habits have been off and i've become very anxious. She made me book an appointment at the doctors and wants to go with me becuase 1) my family doesnt know i'm on them and 2) shes afraid im not telling the doctor 100% of what im experiancing. Would you let her come with you?? Wouldnt the doctor shrugg her shoulders at me ?? Please your opinion helps

Why would an uncle sexually abuse his niece? why would he do such a thing, and why would his wife tell the child "don't say anything because he will go to jail, and you will get in trouble"? how could they do such a thing?

I cant help but wonder how many of these "mentally ill" folks are simply suffering from a poor upbringing or gross lack of self-discipline. This is not hard science in the same sense that Cardiology is a hard science. Theory and conjecture are stated as fact and then force fed to the general population.

I cant tell you how many times Ive seen "mentally ill" people pull that like an emergency Get Out of Jail Free card. Whan tey are over-reacting to some benign, percieved slight, its always the same exscuse. True mental illness is such a rarity, and yet despicable people continue to take advantage of the kindness of others and blame it on "illness".

We can call anything a disease these days. Are you too fat? Its a genetic flaw in your brain that causes you to overeat. Drink too much? Thats a disease too. Has nothing to do with the fact that YOU let it get out of hand. Depressed? Is self-pity one of your personality traits? Who knows.

All responses welcome. Its OK to be angry.

I know this feeling and it is what I think but I don't understand it. People who are depressed and anxiety, (I am like that) don't want to get better at all. This is how I feel, but I don't understand why.

Some days I find myself to be very confident and passive, and other days I am terrified to even look at my boss, for I live in fear of him. Even while I am at home, or laying in bed getting ready to fall asleep, I get these overwhelming feelings of "Ohmygosh, what if he fires me? What if he yells at me? What if he screams at me????" Until I'm in a complete tizzy. Other times I feel ok, like I'm better than him and that karma is a true thing. Why am I teetering between my insecurity and my confidence? And why outside of work, as well as during my working hours? PS- The whole story is way too long to post, basically I will not be in this situation forever, but MUST endure it for a while longer. It's been about 6 years and each year is getting worse than the one before. He has screamed at me, gotten in my face, questioned my marriage (in front of co-workers, might I add), called my a *)$)^&) workless *&^$%&$, etc. And yes, my human resource dept does NOTHING about it to my knowledge....

Not so much afraid , but not wishing to confront them or have any contact with them out of feeling of anxiety or nervousness?

What causes this? How does it develop? what is its cure?
Do most people have this problem to some degree?

If nurses are thought to be sent out into the field of practice with knowledge enough to help someone get better (and keep them alive), why are they so stressed out? Stress does not help keep their heads straight and maybe that is many of the reasons why there are so many medicinal errors.....?

I have been taking Xanax for about 5 yeasr, i have withdran from it last year, and i was so happy, but now i started taking it again, even though a small dosage it is addictive. I want to stop taking this poison, i found this fantastic site www.benzo.org.uk, that is also a support group and advises on slow tapering by using valium. My biggest concern is finding a doctor In Toronto, that will prescribe this for me, and is benzo educated and is willing to help. Most docotors just prescribe and do not know how it feels when you take them or stop taking them. It is a drug that posions you and your brains i know all the side effects and can feel them. I just need proffesional help, but cannot find it yet, since i am new to Canada and do not have health insurance yet. Hoping to get help on locating a good psyciatrist in toronto. I located many, but most told me thay do not work with medications.??? Where do i go???

My 20yr old best friend suffers from numerous mental problems including depression. To make matters worse she has a drug abuse problem. We have been friends for 8 years. Over the last year i have seeked help for my own depression and drug problem. When she gets angry she is irrational, unreasonable and can be violent. I have never been on the recieving end of this anger until two months ago. I have tried everything to resolve the issue but am getting no where. I don't want to lose her but am losing motivation to resolve the issue (which is a very minor problem).

Life is filled with worries, trials and obstacles. And, it's easy to think your the only one struggling. But, we are all in this together! Share your worries and I will be sure to put it on my prayer list.
