I have an intense fear of failure or success, leading to inaction on my part. I can't even pick up the phone. I mean I can, but I am just so afraid. What happens is, I can feel the rejection or uncertainty of my desire and then I don't go for it. If I was really sure of something, I am not afraid to go after it at all. But once I am not sure, or if I have a gut feeling of rejection, I just get pararlyzed by fear. But then after I don't go for it, I realize no action is even worse, so than I go into a vicious circle of no action and over thinking. How can I stop this behaviour? I need serious help! Please send me your advice! I really need human contact.

Mine is losing my parents. What's yours and how do you deal with it? Does it consume you or you do handle it pretty good?

Will I still be heartbroken?

I have broken my own heart,
torn my own life apart
I can't begin to explain
this feeling of pain. JB

Why do people who cut their wrists put them in hot water????
Does that make the blood keep running and prevent it from clogging???? Or does it make the blood run faster??? I read about this a lot and I was JUST wondering. Please post serious answers only, I don't want to hear about how "stupid" people are for trying to commit suicide, that is not my question!!!!

I confronted my bf about being a pathological liar by sending him a text message since he was not answering his phone. He responded the next day but made no mention of my text. He went on to describe how he was doing a photography job (that I know is made up) but didn't even bring up what I said. Is he just pretending this will go away? I am considering us broken up now.

My ex boyfriend-
-when i was with him wanted to commit suicide, it was an ongoing issue. (he told me) and he also told another girl before me. there were times he would not answer his phone and shut the world out. There were times he confided in me he would hit himself or punch himself because he hated himself.
-had gotten a one night stand pregnant before we met- didnt want anything to do witht them, cause d depression, didnt want a child, especially with this girl
-then I helped him come to terms, he leaves me to be with the mother of the child, they are not together anymore
-throughout this he was very cold to me, personality changed, he was very hurtful, would not answer me, made me feel it was my fault by what he said to me
-then after some realization..told me it was all uncalled for, his behavior, he hated fighting with me, but then turns on me again, doesnt talk to me,ignores me
what the hell is wrong with him?Is he bi-polar?
He comes from a great family,i dont get it

I think it starts with "sleep". It's not technically a disorder. As an example, let's say the phone rings. You become immediately aware of the phone ringing and you answer it, but there's a delay between when you answer the phone (consciously) and realize you're awake and thinking. What's that time gap called?

I have been put on all kinds of anti-dep. meds and none have work. Most of the time I feel fine, just kind of average. The all of a sudden something I was thinking about or something that happened(usually something small) will set me off and put me in a foul mood for the rest of the day. Or I will cry for no reason. I feel bad for my husband since he has to deal with me when im like that. Im scared that im going to run him off. WHat can i do..whats wrong with me?

Anyone else have alarming dream?

I used to take 75 mg but now I take 100 mg. I started getting scary dreams even when I am a little late on taking my next dose and especially when I accidently forget a whole dose.
Some of the dreams I get are gorey, dark, scary, and I end up screaming, crying, or hyperventilating outloud while sleeping.
Last night I was crying and screaming outloud because in my dream I was lost in DC and my parents were mad at me. A week ago, I dreamed of a dog biting my side and I screamed outloud. A couple weeks ago, I was hyperventilating while dreaming.
I can't stop the medicine because I feel great while I am awake.

Should I just go back down to 75 mg? Will it be weeks of these kind of dreams when I do so? Would I get those awful withdrawl effects?

My children's father died one year ago today, in Iraq.

How can I mend my heart?

2007-01-23 14:13:57 · 12 answers · asked by AuroraBorealis 4

For the past few weeks I have been experiencing awful dreams almost every night. I don't eat anything weird before going to sleep, and I don't watch horror movies or shows before going to sleep either which are two good causes of nightmares. Which is why I cannot explain why this is happening to me almost every night because I do none of the above. The dreams are horrid which is why I will not describe them. It has gotten to the point where I cannot wake myself from the dreams, and when I do, I am deathly afraid of going back to sleep. What is wrong with me, why am I so afraid? Also, is there anyway I can make the dreams stop or at least have pleasant dreams instead of horror ones?

Yes, perhaps he is right when he says that there is no reason for me to be depressed, but if any of you have experienced the same pain I am going through, you hopefully will understand that there does not necessarily have to be a reason for this. I often cry, I never hve any sexual desire and I am often moody. My hubby does not understand my condition a bit, and unsted being supportive, he makes me feel guilty for my condition. I feel even more lonely.....I can't tell my mum, because she worries way too much. Have you gone through anything similar?

Does anyone know of a way to mentally de-stress myself, short of climbing a clock tower with a rifle? I can't go on vacation, and I don't have any money.

I I need some help in real time, but i'm having trouble telling anyone. I have a guidance counselor at school, but she's so busy and i'm just afraid to go and ask for help. I just mainly need someone to listen to me and give me some suggestions. I don't know what to do. My parents don't listen to me. SO i don't know how to ask fo rhelp, and i have trust issues, and i don't want tthem to tell my mom anything i say to them. How should i ask for help?? I'm so scared. I'm afraid of being judged and stuff. BEcause i've been anorexic and bulimic and Self injurer and suicidal all this past year, and i need some help sorting it out. Thanks very much.

I have selective Mutism and I am pretty sure of it. I have just learned about it. I still have it now and I'm 15 and had it since I could ever remember(like before Elementary.) But what really hurt me is that my third grade teacher thought I couldn't speak English and that is my first language. I never knew until my mom told me. My mom doesn't even know about this condition and wouldn't take it seriously like many people. So I don't think any therapist could help since I don't want my mom to think I'm crazy or whatever. So what I'm asking for is a website where other teenagers and up have Selective Mutism and parents who experienced this can talk to me about it. I think thats the most comfortable way of helping me. Chat, e-mail, something safe and free, whatever. I just need to be understood.
