I walked into a KFC about 4 hours ago, and have been hearing my grandma's voice. It sound like I'm at Disneyland with her and she's keeps yelling out my name because shes lost me. My parents are on a cruise right now and she's staying with us as a result (this also means that I have no proof of insurance coverage). Any idea what I can do?

I'm just, like grayed out. Sad and depressed. No energy. As long as I have no energy to get agitated or really upset, nothing every happens.

My friend's notice that I can be really happy and chirpy but in less than a few seconds I can be snappiing at them. Not only that but I usually just can dislike someone a lot and the next time I see them they are like my best friends. Also, I cant stay mad that long but can't stay happy that long either....each day i go into moods of happiness, depression, and anger. grrrrrrrrrrrrr =]

Why is it not worth killing yourself over the loss of a loved one and I don't mean a death, i mean a breakup or rejection. How can one get over such a horrible crisis and why would one want to even consider trying to move on when you know that you have lost the most important person in your world. I honestly don't understand, what if your true love, your soulmate so to speak, leaves your life shattered and empty? Then, is life not worth living?

Hi everyone. Just trying to find anyone that may be taking the anti-depressant medication "Faverin", main ingredient "Fluvoxamine,"? Just seeing if anyone has had any side effects with it in the first week or so and if you've had any adverse affects when it is mixed with caffeine? Would really appreciate any help anyone out there may have. Thankyou

I am 15 and since grade 7 I have been taking medication for depression and it has been helping me, but I have started to feel depressed again. I don't hang out with my friends anymore, and it seems like whenever I'm online on msn or yahoo, they are offline, and when I go online they go offline, so I figure that they don't like me. Maybe Im just paranoid but I dunno, it seems that way. I have been getting thoughts about killing myself on a daily basis for about a while now. I lay awak in bed all night and think about how to do it and where and when to do it but I don't want to but I can't help it. I feel lonely and invisible, and I can't seem to get any advice from anyone. I try to ask this before and people just told me that im selfish and a loser, but I just want to know how to change myself so I can be a better person so I dont have to be that way. I know i seem selfish but i cant figure out how to change my life, andn nothing has helped so can u please tell me what I can do to help?

I'm 22 and been having alot of problems since I was 15, but they appear to be getting uncontrollable now.

I hear voices talking to me, some of which tell me what to do.

My memories seem to be disappearing as time goes by, and anything I do remember from my childhood is traumatic to me, or just plain miserable.

I can't sleep at night- I have to wait for daybreak or some sort of light.

I'm incredibly paranoid, am persuaded people are talking about me, looking at me, or following me. Even when I know I'm completely alone, I feel watched.

My mood swings from being neutral, to being suicidally depressed, then to being angry to the point of wanting to hurt people and destroy things. During my neutral moments, I tend to blank out very frequently, and then wonder where the time went to.

Over the past few months I've been on the verge of tears at least 10 times per day, sometimes more.

Can anyone help me work out what's going on here? I would be ever so grateful.

I've been seeing a Doc for OCD and depression for a few years. The guy seems really overworked (like all mental health services) and I don't feel like he takes to time to really get to the bottom of my problems. I've been taking Paxil 60mg for a few years and I think it's no longer working. His suggestion that I add buspirone didn't help much either. It seems like he's only willing to do something different when I have a total crisis. I don't want to wait till that point!

I have bad habits like sleeping really late, doing schoolwork before bed and whatnot. (And always being stuck to the pc.)
've always wanted to fix them. But the whole "just stop it" is hard. Any tips?
Like, if I don't use the pc or read a book late at night, I can't sleep. How do I stop doing that? (And all the other habits? I'm having a feeling the habits are getting worse.)

I'm 17 years old and have a wierd mind set. I have a lot of mood swings. More specifically, at night I become a more serious person with no humor, lower voice tone, etc. But most of the time I sense military related things going through my head. At night, I always sleep with my pellet gun under my pillow, my knife under my bed, my flashlight in hand and other things. As well as these things, I become very vigilant, become not afraid of things I usually fear and become somewhat parinoid at night along side with these military related thoughts. I'll be sitting at my computer desk with my tazer on my belt and my dart gun infront of me. I feel as if I am being watched all the time and that I need to be ready to act in a pinch of time. But during the daytime, I feel loose. I don't think about military stuff, my guard is lower and I'm laid back. I'm loyal to my friends, am considerate of other people and do fairly well in school. But comes nighttime, it all goes to as I expained. Help!

Okay, I am a 17 year old girl who is always writing. Now, i cannot write on the novels that i have. I feel i am full of all this creative energy and when i sit down to write i can't. I am also always so tired, i never feel like i wanna do anything even though i have a long list of things should do. For example, i will be like, "I need to write, exercise, and do my homework." And i end up sitting on the computer visiting the same three sites and doing nothing but sit there or read. I have a overwhelming feeling of being useless and lazy. It's not like i want to do this but i just can't get myself up and do stuff. Its usually sitting here on this computer doing nothing or sleeping. My mood has also become so bitchy lately if that helps, and i have become very emotional also. Thank you, i would be grateful for any help from anyone.

Much Love,
Amber
