For a week or even longer, my mind, my memory seemed to be slipping. I'm only sixteen years old and I have no explaination of what's going on. I forget big things like how to do a chemistry problem and I forget the little things too like my usual routine. When I try to read a note or message, say passed to me by a friend, I would stare at it for a while until the small sentence would make sense in my head. I sometimes just stop in my tracks and try to remember why I'm in that certain room. Am I losing my mind??

I'm beging to think that I'm going in a downward spiral, it all started today when I found out I may not be able to work in the school library anymore (which I feel which is my only safe haven). After which I the only thing I could feel like doing was cry, but it escalted from there when another student took a picture of me in comprimising position with his camera phone (with the intention to embarass me, I supose). I feel that my life has taken a turn for the worse, and it caused me to be really depressed. I really don't know what to do.

This teen seems to think everyone expects her to be perfect. This isn't the case and she cannot provide an argument that proves anyone has that high expectation of her. She makes average grades, and there's no pressure from her parents to strive to do better. When she's under stress or when a teacher upsets her, she obsesses over this one thought --- everyone's expectations for her to be perfect- - - - to the point she suffers great anxiety.

What I'm thinking is that she confusing her own expectations of herself with what others may or may not actually think or expect of her. But it is hard to reason with her.

Please, is there any helpful ideas to deal with this on her own or with the help of family/friends? Going to a psychiatrist right now is not an option.

My cousin was recently diagnosed with bipolar II disorder, and despite all of the medication and therapy, he still feels like he is losing his grasp on the world. I don't know much about bipolar II, and there does not seem to be much information on it. Is there anything that I should know about it? More importantly, what is the best way that I can help him?

I want to know how to become...I guess you could say a more practical person. I have a horrible habit of losing things, and it makes me really mad! And I always leave the house only to remember that I've forgotten something.

I feel like I'm constantly taking extra precaution because I know I have this problem, but it also makes me spend more time doing things that other people can do in less time.

Oddly enough, I have good memory and organization skills...until I'm loaded with stuff that is. Just today I was carrying lots of things, and because I was so worried about leaving anything behind, I ended up losing some cash I had just earned...

The same is true with tasks. I do a super good job on most things...until I have tons of things to do, then nothing gets done! I can only focus on one thing at a time.

I think that, in certain situations, this can be very serious. I am really mad at myself right now for losing the money. I know I need to change, but how? Please help!

I want to ask that we have a different approach while judging others but when others are judging to us, we start taunting, criticise them if they are right like we are now-a-days comparison between SRK's KBC & Amitabhji's KBC. Is it really good to judge by not giving a chance to them ?

When we think ‘carer’, we do not think of those people, who are full-time carers, and are unable to enter the workforce.

I tend to jerk when I fall asleep sometimes and I find I can't stay completely still when I am sitting down, it's almost torturous to stay sitting when I have a two and a half hour class that I even love! My face also twitches at times and either a part of my leg or arm. I find if I lay on my side I don't shake or twitch at all.

I also have to add in that I have an anxiety disorder, but I'm not sure it could cause all that.

She has taken him to the doctor, she has called social services, community service board, she has called everyone for help. Has anyone gone through this? And if so, what did you do? She is mentally and physically drained.
