My married parents put me up for adoption, but kept my three year old brother. I was not wanted the moment I was born. I went to high school and graduated, then into the Army and became a paramedic.

Now I am a young (mid 20's) mother of two, my husband just cheated on me for the first time in our 10 years of a relationship (5 married), I stay at home and let my EMT-P license expire. I am overweight by 20lbs (My son is 6 months old) I can't make myself get back into school, and I want to be a physician, and overall I feel worthless.

Are we what we accomplish? I feel like I am taking up space, breathing and existing for nothing, and I hate myself in general. Now I think I may be becoming addicted to hydrocodone (that I had to take for months after surgery recently) and that makes me feel like a petty addict, but I am just so damn sad all the time without it. I don't want to deal with depression, my adoptive mother had it. How the hell do I define myself or find worth in what I am

I'm a wife of a soldier and a mother to 1 son who is 10 mos. old. My husband has been gone for 3 mos. and so far I have done well and have had no issues of depression until the last 2 weeks, especially the last 3 days. I thought these types of feelings would have come up sooner. I have had struggles with depression, cutting and suicidal tendancies in the past. I have since been recovered from them and haven't struggled with it for years now. I feel very very scarily suicidal now. I feel like cutting myself. I haven't acted on it, but I feel it and it's such a temptation. I have no idea who to turn to. I'm away from home and I'm so afraid that if I went to a doctor with this that they would take away my son and lock me up in a psych ward. I'm afraid to tell any friend because they've never seen that side of me before and I haven't known many of my friends here for more than a year. What do I do without being treated like I am crazy? I'm scared of the way I feel.

This might not be O.C.D, it could be insomnia. Secondary insomnia to be exact... But when I am even incredibly tired, I can not sleep unless my surroundings are completely, 100 % Silent! I sleep with earplugs, which don't even help. And I have this weird phobia of clocks, and I'm beginning to think it's because of the ticking. I can hear a clock ticking from the other end of a house! And when i do, it sounds as if it right by my ear, & i go insane! I take every clock down and elimonate the batteries!

I've tried ambient music, and it helped me get very close to falling asleep, but still, the sounds kept me up! I go absolutely mad when i hear the slightest sound! However, once i fall asleep, i can sleep for days. Unless... I hear something, or the door opens to the room im in. That's another weird thing. I CAN NOT sleep unless all of the doors are closed! Once they open, i awake. It's so odd. Am i just really anal about my sleeping, or is there some sort of disorder i'm dealing with?

I do it every couple days. I don't know why, I just feel like cutting because I am feeling sooo much pain. I feel that I can't talk to anyone. I can't talk to my mum because she is under too much stress at the moment. I don't want to talk to my guidance counselors because I am afraid they will tell my parents. What do I do?

I am on 100 mg of Lamictal and have lately been hallucinating since October. Does the increase of Lamictal help reduce or eliminate the hallucinations. My doctor wants me to start on Seroquel, but I am already on 5 different medications. Please help if you can answer this or can suggest some other options.

Like i feel like i could be diagnosed with depression, but I don't know like the symptoms, I don't know how it feels like to have depression. I don't know if what i am feeling is actually depression.

ANYWAYS... does anybody know how you feel with depression?

even in the hardest of situation...in the movie Beautiful Mind John Nash says "What's the point in being crazy if you can't have a little fun with it"..I agree with him.

I'm quite an anxious person (and have been taking medication for this for about 4 years) and have recently had many stressful events in my life. The hives developed 24 hours ago, but their itchiness and noticibility flare up more at sometimes than others.
At what point should I go to a doctor? If it is stress/anxiety related, at what point should I contact my psychiatrist?
