The past few years of my life have been hell.... I have had problems with my mum that caused me to run away for days on end, and eventually had to move away. Then I have been bullied alot of my life and threatened by people who just don't like me for who I am. Had my heart broken alot and suddenly lost feelings towards people in everyway possible. Had my baby brother die this year and caused alot of stress on me and my family... and its all getting alot worse!!
Doctor says I suffer from manic depression and it has finally lead to me having heart problems and is getting worse at a fast pace.
I am not sure what my options are but I am not going on anti-depressants as people who I know that have been on have ended up turning out worse when they come off them than that of which they were when they started. I have been looking into ECT (if you are unsure, watch House M.D se3ep11) and thats what i want done. should I consider this atall? having no memory of people?

Help?

i used to go to aa, but stopped going a few months back due to reading stuff about it being a cult and christian brainwashing etc. however, it also has its good points such as providing emotional support and giving you the opportunity to boost self-esteem by being of use to others. i'm thinking of going back there but i'm worried about all this cult stuff. what do you think?

My cousins said her house is packed sky-high with junk and they cannot move other than little aisles. She is not on medication and will not go on it. Her husband has just accepted the behavior. It has been going on for quite awhile. It has become desperate and we are afraid something bad will happen or the house will be condemned.

I am not at all trying to make fun or light of the disease or its sufferers but I have this question and possibly a cure . Why don't they just give anorexics pot? I mean 2 bowls a day and they'd be putting on the pounds I guarantee it and they'd be happy and laid back. Just a suggestion...what do ya think?

hell am I doing at this job. Why having I been hanging out with these friends? Why am I at school? Its kinda weird and kinda uncomfortable. Its like I have been sleeping for a long time and have just let things happen to me. Im not happy with the way things have been but it just seems like for a long time I have checked out. How do I stop myself from doing this? Im wasting time.

I'm weak in this department, but after taking anti-depressants my desire to work on myself has improved. however I am totally out of practice - I seem to be incapable of sticking to a simple schedule or set goals. It really sucks...

A few months ago i came close to dying and for 2 complete hours i thought i was going to die any minute...so during that traumatic incident i felt completely lonely as if everybody only knew my name but didnt know the real me at all...it was all too painful eventhough i didnt actually die...and from then on i have become paranoid(i dunno how this happened) and depressed...and now whenever i watch someone die on tv or watch a sad movie i become COMPLETELY depressed...i feel like crying and the world becomes a cold dark place...

my family and friends rejected me during the lowest point of my life...so im not close to anyone and i keep everything bottled up...as a result i have fear of abandonmet, trust issues...etc

so what can u figure out from what ive said here? i badly need ur help...im still in high school by the way.

I'm going through a rough time right now. I go through phases where I can't seem to get anything done. I'm behind in my schoolwork right now, sleeping a lot during the day, and I'm eating a lot. Let me just say that I do NOT have depression, but I can't function under a lot of pressure, which I definately have right now. I'm afraid that I'm going to get in so deep that I will sink into depression, and not be able to pull myself together.

My hubby has been very depressed lately and showing classic symptoms of depression. We both know that he needs help and to be on medication, but where do you start? Do you just go to your family doctor and have them prescribe something or do you have to see a "special" person? What is he's only been to his family doctor once? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hellow. I am an ocd sufferer. Although I am recently seeing someone to help me, I see very little progress. In fact, I feel as if may be making me worse. Recently, I have considered alchohol consumption to get my mind off of my obsessions but know this is wrong... may I have some advice?

my mom afterwards was like its a good thing we have insurance that would have cost us 60,000 dollars. So like now its almost like I would rather save the money ie not buy my meds or ask for help then trying to get better. I guess it was engrained in my head that it was my fault and that I could have prevented it or just cleaned up my act. So I sit here in my head not knowing what to do about so many different sitautaions . Does anyone else have a similar problem?

My mother and father in law (both in thier late 60's) are having troulbe with thier adult son (28) who still lives with them. The worst thing he has done is to threaten sexual acts against his sister (23) who also lives at home. He also has flattened the tires of the sister's boyfried stating "I know what you are doing with him". Another problem he has is extreme paranoia. Someone is always watching him or out to get him. He rarely leaves his room. He does not speak to any of the family other than scarey off the wall statements. He has threatened bodily harm on both parents yet he depends on them for food and shelter. He has never held a job for more than a week. He hasn't even tried to work for at least 5 years. Both parents are afraid to be in thier own home. They are older and of a very limited income. They have called the police numerous times and can't get any help. They would like to have him put where he can get help or at least taken out of thier home.
