I can easily and immediately be tuned on by photos of female blood and internal organs (especially the heart)?

Am I crazy?

for instance, is it normal, that the man who is crazily in love with me, never dreams me? (We have not seen each other for 2 years)

Last month, my mother had a tumor removed from her brain. Since then, she has been in rehab and physically she seems to be doing very well (thank God).

However, since such a delicate surgery was done on her brain, her personality has changed quite a bit. She is absolutely convinced that the entire nursing staff at the rehab is out to get her, and that all of the other patients see her as the ring-leader of a huge escape from the place. Because she's threatening to run away, the nurses at the rehab have put an alarm on her bed which only enhances her paranoia.

The doctors said changes in personality are common after such a surgery, but they have given no indication that the paranoia will go away.

My question is, should I be playing along with her delusions, or should I try to tell her how it is? She always becomes very angry (another side effect of the surgery) when I try to tell her the nurses are right, and that I'm working with them against her.

I'm not even ugly, in fact, people have told me I'm pretty, but I feel uhly as hell. If I look in the mirror and actually look nice, I'll start thinking the mirror is making me look better. Can mirrors really make you look better? I'm so insecure, I won't even look people in the face during a conversation. Please help, my low self-esteem is KILLING me!

Do you think it constitutes child abuse to stigmatise and burden children with unneccessary labels and give them powerful, often dangerous drugs often against their will and use them as scapegoats? Do you think this WHOLE business entails child abuse?

My 16 year old son with social phobia, which has developed over the last two years, never goes outdoors, never opens the curtains, doesn't exercise and stays up all night.
He is generally cheerful but gets very lonely as i am out at work all day.
He is not overweight but has developed small blue veins on his backside, I think from sitting too much.
He won't go to the doctor or cognitive therapy and has tried hypnotherapy and prozac which has not helped.
Can anyone provide any positive solutions please, I am at my wits end!

I have Bi-polar and am aware that sometimes manic episodes can cause you to behave differently to if you were stable however alot of Celebs seem to be announcing they have it as an excuse for their drug addiction and alcoholism. I think this is giving Bi polar a bad name (not that it has a good one) it diminishes the illness and gives the true sufferers a bad name. What do you think?

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but it's sooo frustrating for me being completely out of sync with the rest of the world! I have been trying for years now to go to bed at a decent time and wake up before NOON, but I just can't seem to naturally do that. I have horrible insomnia at night, but then end up sleeping through half the day. Obviously, I don't have to wake up early for work, because I'm a student. However, I have some early classes this semester (read 10am) and I am so panicked to the extent that I only get like 1hr of sleep before class and then go through the day feeling like a zombie. When nighttime comes I absolutely can't relax because I keep telling myself that I absolutely must get some rest....so I end up not being able to fall asleep util the am hours again!!! I am sick of this vicious cycle. Anyone out there going through this? I dream more than anything of having a NORMAL schedule!!! I feel like such an outcast...

I am a 26 year old woman who has suicidal thoughts at least twice a day. This has been going on for a while now. I am not sure if I will do it and I am not sure why I think this stuff.

Sometimes I feel like everything is bottled inside me and no one really knows what the real me is like. Everyone thinks I am happy, I always smile and joke but when I am alone this horrible feeling comes about and I don't know how to control it.

When I get like this, my tummy feels like its in knots, I almost feel sick with anxiety (thats what i think it is - anxiety) and I have no idea what causes this.

I have noticed that my suicidal thoughts are often (though not always) linked to wanting to make people feel bad for the horrible things that they have done to me. I just want to scream at them and say "Look at what you have done! See what you have pushed me too?"

Does anyone else feel this way? Please I don't want to hear that I need to get counselling, I have tried, it only makes it worse

Two years ago i was diagnosed with depression, which was hard enough to take, 4 months back was diagnosed with psychosis, which made me feel even worse about myself.
I've always had trouble socialising with others for my whole life and two weeks ago was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome.
Medication isn't helping, therapy isn't helping, councelling is doing nothing, seeing a psychiatrist isn't doing any good and just feel like if i don't get help soon im going to commit suicide. I have tried everything and i'm asking this question as a last resort. What are some other good ways that could help me through this?
