My friend just recently told me that when she was 7 her uncle sexually abused her like made her touch him and he would touch her, when she was in the bathroom he would try to come in and stuff like that, but he didn't have sex with her though. Nothing was ever really done about it she told her aunt (his wife) about it a little after it had happened and her aunt told her not to tell anyone about it because he will go to jail! That happened awhile ago and he is dead now but she is having problems.. What is your imput on this what do you think?

My husband has recovered for 3 years now from a drug and alcohol addiction. He also suffers from deppression. His Psychiatrist just gave him a script for Xanax. It didn't sound safe to me considering people use this as drug illegally to get high off of, so i looked it up on the internet and it is says to tell you dr if you have had drug/alcohol problems in the past. His dr knows all of his history. Do you think he should still take it though? Maybe get a secong opinion? Or am i overreacting?

Before I could hold my tears even when I wanted to cry, and I wouldn't cry easily either, I could cope with difficulties & adversities easily. And now I've become such a weeper, I can cry easily like if I feel misunderstood or just like basically nothing.... And I find my life kind of hopeless (don't worry I will never go killing myself) however I can't see my life is leading me anywhere.. I don't know if it's partly because of my relationship with my bf, we're in a LDR that we can't see each other often. However I know how much he loves me, and I do know that but I still can't stop myself from being sad and crying.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with me? Maybe I just need some supports from some strangers...?

Thanks!

I have been a nervous wreck for a few months now and have watched my grades fall to ****, and I can't seem to remember or even learn anything in school anymore because of the way that I feel... also my health... I was wondering if this were normal; like if it is okay to have problems in school when you're a nervous wreck

Hi, I am a freshman at the University of North florida in Jacksonville. Since arriving in August, I have had trouble with certain things......dealing with roommates (I am an only child), making friends, time management, etc. Ireally miss my family, mainly my mom, who is an 2 and 1/2 hours away. I find myself falling into a bit of a depression. My mind is contsntly going, and my mood goes from being up to going down. I have trouble falling asleep, too, mainly because I cannot "shut my mind off". Are there any good self-help books that I can read? I have already picked up "Feeling Goofd" by David Burns and plan to start reading that this weekend.

Thank you.

I was diagnosed with severe depression but I am not sure if the docter had it right or not. My mother doesn't think i have it, and it never crossed my mind that i might have it. I didn't go to school for two weeks before winter holidays cause i couldn't get out of bed. But only after my diagnosis that i realized how depressed i m, i thought life is supposed to be like this. Even when i m smiling i m asking myself if i m happy at this moment i can only answer no. My mother is supposed to know, she gave birth to me so i guess she knows me well. I don't want to seem nuts to her anymore, it pains me too. She reminded me that my teachers who omitted work for me because i missed it is just helping me cheat through life. I m not even in University yet and i m already cheating!!

I feel horrible i just want to hear someone's opinion if I really do have depression or it's just all in my head.

I mean, please if you are thinking about suicide, get off the stupid computer and goto the hospital. Don't tell use all about it?

Some people actually know people that committed suicide and it is not a funny topic

I'm not talking normal pissed off, I'm talking pissed off about a catastrophic, life-changing event that is totally out of my control. There is nothing I can do to change the situation that is making me so furious (believe me, I've looked at it from every angle), and I don't even know what to do with myself. I go from total rage to hysterical crying, to feeling so empty that I can barely breathe, all within minutes. I know I am whining/complaining, etc., and it's not like me at all. I just have no idea how to get over this and move in with my life, which I now have to totally reassemble. Any clues on how to immediately deal with the rage? Anger management is not an option, nor is counseling. I've tried exercise with no luck. What do you do when you feel this hopeless, worthless, empty, and furious????

i believe my boyfriend is struggling with some sort of mental illness. he suffers from constant bouts of uncontrollable rage. i believe he has a lack of self esteem and self confidence. he was recently diagnosed with a seizure disorder which explains his past ADD-like symptoms. when he was diagnosed he was put on pills which were supposed to make him better but i feel things are worse. he cannot handle any insult without crying or becoming severely aggressive and angry. especially when insulted with a comment about his intelligence( even when a person is joking) he is super sensitive and often talks to himself under his breath and doesn't notice it. he is constantly blowing things out of proportion and when confronted he reacts in a defensive way.. i dont believe the pills are the cause of this. he was experiencing the rage and self loathing before diagnosed. i think he may also have depression possibly manic... please help!

Can anybody tell me what i should do about this? Counseling wont help, I've already tried it.

I have been so stressed out, 2 nights ago I had I guess a nervous breakdown over the smallest things that should not have worried me! I was flipping out over not having enough time to do my laundry, clean my house , take the proper care for my animals, dentist appointments,spending time with my fiance, all these things are building up, I just went crazy, I was crying, pacing back and forth, pointing out things that were dirty in my house..I mean petty things like a spot on my ruf, to crumbs on my kitchen counter! What happened to me and how do I stop this from happening again?
