and how hard or easy it is to slowly come off of it? I heard your supposed to stay on these drugs for 5-6 months at the least but I am itching to start a family so I want to do it now. Has anyone tried to get off this soon and succeeded?

If 1 more thing goes wrong right now someone (prob myself) may end up injured.

A friend that I love like a sister, is stuck in a downward spiral that I don't know how to help her out of. I think she needs a DOCTOR- a PSYCHIATRIST, or something. But I don't even know where to begin looking. I love her. I do- but I'm out of words... I've tried everything i know, said everything I can, and she is still trapped in a lifestyle that will kill her. She almost OD'ed in October. And she has supposedly stopped doing drugs, but she is strippping and still induldging in destructive behavior. I can't turn my back on her completely. We don't hang out anymore, but she's my roommate and it's hard to look away when I see her come home in shambles, and tears. The strip club where she works is trashy, and so are the people. They suck her down deeper into that lifestyle. Please HELP ME HELP HER. We live in LA. Anyone know any good doctors?

I'm perfectly fine at home. But it is a different story at school. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At9aMxaYEzsVpBumPrnRDLzsy6IX?qid=20070115150916AAfaHP1
I feel so tense at school. I even get this twitching thing. I'll be sitting in class and my head suddenly jerks. Just a little bit to the side-- not all the way around or anything. It happens all the time. But usually when I'm thinking about it! I feel like every person in the class is wathcing me when it happens. (And it usually happens after the teacher finishes saying something "sperm" or "butt" or something weird. And I don't want to seem like a little kid that gets giggles over the word "sex"!) Whether or not they actually are watching me, I'm not sure of.

Why am I so uncomfortable at school? (I'm in high school by the way.) How can I relax when I'm there? I don't want to always feel like some1 is watching my every move!

I don't understand why people explain all sorts of personal and serious medical conditions on this site and then ask for suggestions. Don't they realize that half the people on here are pre-adolescents and the rest of us are whack??? Why don't they go to a dr? (Please make this creative. Thanks!)

I got social anxiety at a young age when I was at school. Because of this I eventually could no longer leave my home. I foolishly refused to get help when I really needed it. So I slowly became depressed because I could no longer leave my home no matter how much I wanted to I just couldn’t. It took me along time to get the courage I needed to go to the doctors and tell them how I felt. I’m in my early 20’s now and I’m gradually getting my life back on track. The only thing I miss is not having much of a child hood because of this. But as I’m only in the early stages of getting my life back on track I often wonder how long it could take for someone to make a complete recovery. So have you, or do you know anyone who has suffered from social anxiety and depression? If you have, or you know someone who has suffered from this, how long did it take you or, them to make a full recovery? Also has this ruined the chances of me having a relationship with someone because of what has happened to me or will I slowly have the confidence to start dating. Because I have never dated or lost my virginity yet because of the problems I was faced with.

Have a lot of a stress in my life at the moment:lack of sleep, overthinking and general/not so general day to day stuff-and nothing is going away soon!
Some friends tell me that this is a good way to relax and get some proper rest-but I am not usually into this kind of thing, and am resisting their help on it directly, but feel like i do need something for relief and release soon!
If you can help, I'd appreciate it-thank you!

I've been told that I talk in my sleep on occasion. Lately I have been doing in every night and all through the night. Does anyone know why I would be doing it more that usual?

Throughout my life, I've had varying degrees of oddities that were more or less pushed off as just that. When I was a child, I consistently ate paper regularly, and pulled my hair out to the extent of leaving large bald spots on my head. These were written off as just "oddities" for me. I keep all sorts of things for months and years that I have no need to keep, I have large stacks of unopened mail because for some reason I'm afraid to open it, I guess, and the mere thought of talking about money or my financial status/situation nearly sends me into a panic attack from what I can tell. It's infinitely frustrating, because I recognize signs of depression or other kinds of disorders, but I can't really put the pieces together, and I'm afraid to just go to a physician and lay all of those things out without looking like (for lack of a better word) a total nut-job. Any ideas?

But now I really think there is something wrong with me when it comes to interacting with my peers. If I have to give a speech in class, my heart starts beating really fast. When I walk down the hallways, I feel like I've forgotten how to walk and that every1 is staring at me wondering why I'm walking so funny. I feel like EVERY1 is staring at me. I avoid getting up to use the pencil sharpener so no1 will look at me. I HATE being stared at. I don't want ppl staring at me and thinking "she is soo ugly".

I didn't use to be like this. THis started in High School. Is there something wrong with me? Any advice or suggestions are nice. Thanks. :)

I don't enjoy doing anything, I used to enjoy doing anymore. I want sleep all the time and eat. That's it. I have been really quiet and even my parents started questioning me. My dad came into my room a couple of days ago asking me if I do drugs? I would never do that!! He told me he is concerned because I have been sleeping from 11:30 at night to 4 in the afternoon the next day without waking up. OR I sleep from 5 o'clock to 1 o'clock the next day. The truth is I do want to sleep. Even after I wake up, I want eat and then go back to bed. I don't feel like leaving my room. When I don't have school, and after school, I don't want leave my house. I don't feel happy anymore.I get emotional too easily and hardly ever laugh. Even though I have so many college applications and this and that to do, I don't want to do it. I have also been late to school everyday the past few weeks. I have gotten 3 detentions. I have let myself go physically as well. I don't feel like dressing up or look good.

I'm considering it but before i do i need to know if it is a benefit. I don't wanna be opening up a can of worms here. If it did work for you how did you feel afterwards? If it didn't did you feel a whole lot worse?
