I have been diagnosed with anxiety issues as well as paranoid ideations and obessive behaviors. My general care practictioner recently increased my doseage of Prozac from 20 mg per day to 40 mg per day a couple weeks back until I could see a psychiatrist but my mood swings have been crazy the last few days. I go from manic, to angry to anxious, to sad. Is this normal?

one of my friends has become kinda slow and forgets a lot of things and mentions the same things over and over. He has had concussions in the past from football and when he does something dumb or is being slow in the head he always says hey ive had a lot of concussions so dont screw with me. are these signs of a concussion prone kid or is he faking it. He had one like in aug, then like mid to late sep, then one at the end of oct, all from football then i think he had a small one on new years day from snowmobiling so are these some aftereffects on him, and will they go away after a bit.

Today, I'm feeling very icky. Most activities I've done today have reminded me of dreams I had last night in which I performed those particular actions. When this happens, I get a head rush and headache, and twice I've felt like I was going to throw up. I can't stomach very much food; it's 6:20pm and I've only had chicken broth and crackers... Deja-vu scares me sometimes.

How would you describe your own deja-vu?

Its about the laws of attraction, if you saw it do you believe it? How people can attract almost anything with they way they think & the laws of attraction and energy.Did it work for anybody? Ive known it for years because my mom works in the field and has told me about it at a young age & I can truly say it has made my dreams come true. I was wondering if it worked for anybody else as well.

it seems that liberalism incourages non-critical thought. There are a certainly a few rigorously thinking leftists like the law professor Alan dershowitz (who i agree with on virtually nothing) but as a whole liberalism appears very non-critical. it assumes that it's perspective is common sense and so it dosen't qustion it. One of the most interesting things about this mentality is that it defines "openmindedness" as agreeing with a particular set of preset positions. if you take those postions then you are open minded if not then you are closeminded and your view is unaaceptable. Dosen't that turn the meaning of "open-minded" on it's head? How can I say that you are open minded only if you agree with me? is that not "closemindedness" ? You don't define someone's openmindedness by what they believe but by how they have come to their belief. This kind of thinking incourages people to be unintelligent and unrigorous thinkers. We see it in universities all over the country.

Both of the brothers of my husband committed suicide ... the most recent one being right before christmas....My husband has been fighting "demons" all his life, and I am worried that this latest blow may prove too much for him... how can I help him move on and be okay.... he already takes tons of anti-depressants.....I am worried, and actually very scared that he may just fall into a rut that he cannot come out of. He will never commit suicide himself, but who is to say how detremental he may be in other ways? Please, any suggestions would help....Also, he just turned 50 in 2006

I have a very hard time falling asleep, I go to bed at 10 pm but cant get to sleep until 2 am, this doesnt work well when I have to get up at 6 am. I am always tired and I do not get good sleeps, ever. I just want to pass out so bad. It's taking a toll on my life, I never used to be like this but the past 2-3 months have just been a nightmare. Does anyone have any tips they use to fall asleep quickly, or any pills that would work. I'll try anything.

do you find yourself wondering what they'd make of your life if they can now see what happens to you? Its just I lost my Dad 13 months ago and since then my life has been a nightmare and I know my Dad would have been really dissapointed in me if he could see me now! I feel so bad for letting him down....anyone else gone through this? Also any tips on knowing if you have started the grieving process or not? thanks guys

okay so this is what is happenning with my life:
For the past years of my life ive been secretely depressed. (I just walk in school with a smile pasted on my face). With a mixture of being alone, being made fun of, and with a terrible relationship with my folks, I've been having breakdowns, violent mental images, and i guess you can say that ive been abusing my body (cut). The other night was one of the worst nights of my life, and then i cracked. now, i have no emotion at all. I cant feel. What should i do? I'm afraid to tell my parents
Only one of my friends knows about this and i feel terrible and feel like i am jeopardizing him...
