My problem has to do with past abuse; however, in overcoming the effects of abuse, I don't believe that I should trust people as a matter of default. There are still people out there who are abusive. The world hasn't changed that much since I was a child. In trying not to be paranoid, I have trusted the wrong people and have suffered the consequences of trusting them. In wrongly believing that some people are good (therefore right), I have believed that I must be wrong when such people have something against me, and I have accepted consequences in error. Often one consequence has been relentless guilt and self-doubt, and in such cases contrition is not the solution. That works only when I have done something wrong. When I haven’t, the only solution is to realize just that. Sometimes such people have been those with authority - I am particularly vulnerable to those who abuse their authority because there is the tacit obligation to respect them. Responses from experts are most welcome.

I am a nurse and it is embarrasing when I have panic attacks on the job. I am supposed to be taking care of sick people not the other way around. Any suggestions?

My mom says I am a hypochondriac, I had a panic attack once and then went on to the net to research what it was. I've thought I've had depression,Sczophrenia,anxiety and even that seasonal disorder. The panic attack was that scarey I keep on searching the net for answers, the doctor says there is nothing wrong with me but I don't believe her

My mom says I should forget all about the panic attack and stop googling as I could make myself i'll,

Any advice?

My french teacher told my parents I was crazy.I just wonder if i really am....
Sometimes I think I'm autistic, since I always like to be alone, really can't socialise, always want to do things in the same way, i even do these weird things with my hands(which i think is really normal but other people think its really weird).
Even people in my class say I'm weird. And another teacher said that it's as if im always dreaming or something...and that i'm always negative about everything, and i always say that i'm bad and that i cant do something even though i can do it really good.
Now teachers have just started ignoring me...which i find really annoying sometimes....
My parents dont seem to notice any of my problems, what should i do??? Am i autistic??? or crazy???or anything????
Thanks

I was recently changed from Prozac after 4 years, to Lexapro. I cannot believe I did not change sooner. I seem to really feel much, much better on this. Has anyone else been on it? Has it worked? Long term? Thank you

Please help me.
I feel so low and down. I feel like this most of the time now, and if i don't then i am so hyped up and excited etc.
I cut my wrists/hands most nights, combined with this i cry and listen to music.
I stay away from my family as much a possible. I stay in my room and hate them touching me.
I showed my Mum a few weeks before Christmas and showed her a couple of the cuts.
She didn't really do much and now doesn't talk about it.
2 of my friends know about a couple of the cuts, but ive told them im ok now and dont talk about it.
It'd hurt them too much to know. They cry over me and they don't deserve that.
I don't deserve that.
Im not going to see a doctor so please don't tell me to.
So my question is, Help?
I need someone to talk to, advice, and why do i feel like this?
Thank You ♥

I've been feeling down now for the past month really so went to the doctor thinking I have depression. We had a talk and she went through a screening quiz, she says I am not depressed but suffering from everyday ups and downs that people get sometimes.

I've done a couple of these online screening tests myself today and they all say i'm not suffering from depression. I mean i don't have any of the symptoms etc just feel fed up in general.

I don't feel down all the time but it comes at least once aday. Is it just the time of year or what?

People worry over a lot of things everyday. I'm sure you do it, and I know I do it too.

It can be something very minor from an article of clothing, to deciding what to eat.

I make a big deal out of everything. I need to be able to say, "Screw it." and just see where my day takes me.

I think too much into things. Like deciding if i should eat or not, depending on many factors such as if i already ate and the nutritional value of the food. (im not overweight or anything)

I think too deep into too many things. so much that my days consist of a lot of thinking rather than doing.

how can i stop this?

for a long time now i have been a thinker, rather than a do-er, because of this.

help!

I won't give you a biography, but a short summary of it:
I've never had a dad. I was raised with a sister. I was raised by all women. My name is Gabe, so in my younger days I was teased and called "gay Gabe." I'm sure I am not gay, although most people think that a guy without a dad, and raised by women, is gay.
I don't have a lisp, but I sometimes do talk with my hands.

I hate fitting the stereotype, cookie-cutter, gay guy. Not that I have a problem with them, but imposting that personality on me is killing me. How do I deal with this? I want to be more of a man.
(I was also a late-bloomer, which is usually devastating to young boys who watch their peers rocket up, while they remain tiny.)

I'm 19 and still can't grow a beard...

I've heard 6-8 will be normal, but some doctors said you can sleep as long as you want, if you can.. And I'm confusing , How many hours of sleep do YOU think a person need based on your own experiences? Thank you.

Although I have been to a counsleor/psychologist I have never been to a Psychiatrist. What should I expect that it is going to be like? Is it pretty similar to the counsleor/psychologist? Is there anything I should do to prepare? Or something that I should bring with me? Any tips to being less nervous and more open during the appointment?

I made an appointment with a psychiatrist because I think I may have borderline personality disorder. I have been to a counselor/therapist a few times (different ones) before. I never kept my follow up appointments with them because I didn’t feel like they wore helping me. I just felt like they were just making me dig up my past and not helping me feel better or work through anything. They also said that I am suffering from depression. I had read up on the topic of depression and I didn’t not feel like the descriptions I have read (I have been researching depression for about 10 years) described me. Then recently I came across the topic of Borderline Personality Disorder and I felt like wow that describes me exactly. How do I go to a psychiatrist and tell them that. I don’t want them to think that I am crazy or that I am self diagnosing or telling that what I 'have' when of course I have no psych training. How do i tell them without sounding like I am nuts?

I feel unwanted and hated buy every one and every thing, I have felt this way for the majority of my life. I know that how I feel is not the reality of it but the feeling is so overpowering and unyielding that it disrupts and destroys any relationship of any kind i ever had. I have sought out professional help for a little over half a year but it didn't seem to help. What can I do to not feel this way?
