well i think i have social anxiety symptoms are:
i feel like everybody i know judges me..
when i go grocery shopping i feel like the check out person is judging me...almost the same with everybody..
plus i dont go out anymore.. i have one friend but even when i goto his house i dont know what to say...
i just sit there silent and he points it out...

i also have OCD
which is bad cause when i think somebody is judging me i obsess about it and think about it for most of the day..

well anyway to my question..

i only have one kidney do any of the meds for social anxiety cause kidney failure?
because i'd rather be alone and afraid of everybody then on a dialysis machine for the rest of my life...

lately I have cried myself to sleep, worried excessively for no reason and I cannot eat or I get nausous. I can't sleep at all and am constantly on edge. I feel like I can't control my emotions and just sometimes wanna drop off the face of this world. Tonight I broke up with my boyfriend and haven't been able to stop crying ever since. I am a freshman in college, I already am on academic probation and I don't drive. my ex lives in a town right outside of the town my school's in and he's about 30 minutes away but we never saw each other and I can't deal with it. I never thought I had a problem but I'm getting so overwhelmed all of a sudden, I CAN'T deal with it anymore
Any idea what could be my problem? it started a few weeks ago. Before I broke up with him. I usually feel relieved when me and whoever I'm dating break up but this time I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life. I can't eat or sleep and I'm going on my third night with only a few hours of sleep...

Hi,
I've been on zoloft for about a year until recently when the new generic version of it came out (Sertraline). I'm taking 100mg a day, and i've started to notice it causes me to be rather quiet, and irritable when spoken to. I keep to myself, i get road rage pretty bad, and i have a short temper. I have NEVER been like this before!!! has anyone had similar symptoms while taking Sertraline or while on any other similar anti-depressants? Do you think a switch is in order?

Suppose a man has a mental condition where he has multiple personalites(It's skitzophrenia I think.) If these "two men" within the same body date 2 different woman, is it cheating? By technicality, both men are the same guy who is dating two women. What do you think about this?

Hi,
My grandma was admitted today to a hospital and they believe it is a blood clot in her brain. From a CT scan, they noticed a blood clot in a part of her brain and this was due to a car accident a couple months ago. She was brought in unconcious and i went in to talk to her with my mom and brother, yet she didnt recognize any of us :( ! She could somewhat respond to what we said, yet she hallucinated the whole time. She thought she was eating soup with a spoon and kept asking for choclate to us. Randomly, she would mention past memories as if she was still living them. When the doctors asked her what year it was she said 1936. BAsically, she doesnt know where she is, what year it is, cant recognize us, its like she is on some redic drug and in a dream world. What is wrong with her? Is there any hope? I am so stressed out and depressed about this : (.

What are the chances of her living thru this?
Will she get her mind back?
I feel so helpless. Thanks

I'm depressed and I think a major part of it is extreme lonliness. No one I can think of (apart from relatives that live far away) understands me and I'm isolated, emotionally and physically. I live with my Mum and her boyfriend and they never talk or if they do its nots something Im interested in. I cant feel any connection. I dont know what to do beause I've, metaphorically, locked myself in my house and just feel lonely and empty. What should I do?

I want this depression gone. I have had great loss. You know that list of things that contribute to depression.....well I have them all.
It just doesn't stop. At one time doc wanted to use electric shock. Do they do that in California?
Why are some people never cured of depression, no matter how hard they try?

When my wife was younger she lost her virginity when she was raped. Due to our dual deployments to iraq we havent been able to be intament in over a year, so we have both declared ourselfs born again virgins. We will soon have the chance to see each other again and she sees this as a chance to erase her past and re-write her "first time". Any advise for me, as this is a subject that I know very little about. I'm afraid that this may trigger past memories and emotionsfor her.

There is someone very close to me suffering from deep depression. This person is very attached to me and from the looks of it, it is the primary cause of her depressive state. My question is, am I going to be held responsible if ever she dies?

I was diagnosed with ADD in 5th grade. Because my family was 'lower income' and didnt want help from the state, I stoped taking medication for this condition in 7th grade. I struggled a bit through high school, both socially and with school work. I was a 'cutter' at one point as well. I took a 'self assessment' in our textbooks and it said that I likely had Bipolar Disorder(the one that is depressed most of the time, and only 'manic' some of the time)
I graduated four years ago, went to college a little and dropped out because I didnt have the disipline to keep going. I dont seem to have any 'drive' anymore. All of my goal from high school seem so out of reach. I am sleepy all the time, and that isnt cool because I have a husband and a daughter now.
Does this sound like Depression, Bipolar Disorder, or ADD? or something else?

Can i have some feedback from here.Thanks

yet I hear of other boy's getting sexually abused and there's a big fuss and justice is done quick. could it be because were mexican ,that nobody care's I'm starting to wonder about that now.
I wrote about what happened to my son on this web site several month's ago. my son was sexually abused while on an overnite visit at his father's house.
my son is under doctor's care plus counseling at school.
my son is having nightmare's about the guy that sexually abused him. he has alot of fear, his grades went down in school.he's gained 15 pounds from anxiety .
because of christ hosp in oak lawn,il. the guy that sexually abused my son is scott free because the doctor at that hospital said that my son was fine . the hosp said that because they did not examine him all they did was take vital sign's.
the private doc wrote a diagram of a recent tear and an old tear in my son's anus.
