I'm quite frustrated with myself because I cannot express myself to ppl as much as I would like to, and because I am not friends with the ppl I wanna be friends with. I'm very frustrated with my social life and how things are going for me in general. How can I channel this frustrations? I cannot bottle them inside...I want to let them out...are there activities I can do to vent my frustrations?

Anxiety feelings are so physically powerful it keeps me awake all the time—until 8:00 in the morning. Is this a mental problem as my physical doctor as said he thinks it’s my head not my heart. Do I really need to see a psychiatrist? Because I see so many days passing by… it’s like I see days happen so fast. When people are awake during the day I am asleep and when people are asleep at night I am awake.

My partners 23 year old son has a cannabis addiction which is threatening to take over his life. To further complicate this he suffers from depression and the combination means he suffers from massive mood swings. At his worst he can be violent, such as smashing furniture and fighting, he threatens his father and insults his mother even though they are doing everything to help him overcome this problem. At other times he can be great.

I need to know if there is any organisation that can really help him? I don't want answers telling me he has to help himself, we know that but he needs assistance. We have tried Frank but it hasn't been much help. We have also tried a psychiatrist but they say there is nothing wrong with him.

Is there anyone out there who has experienced this problem and has found a solution and/or an organisation that can help?

I have a hard time making eye contact with people and I don't know why. Yes, I have social anxiety and I work myself up before I even go into difficult situations (usually situations with cashiers of the opposite sex). Usually when I do manage to look them in the eye they give me a weird look like they can see right through me. Am I just insane here? What can I do?

Im a 16 year old guy and I've been depressed for unknown reasons. At school, I have only one or two friends who barely talk to me because they have other friends of their own. In class, I try to talk to people around me but those discussions don't go well; they either end the discussion or start talking to someone else. I've been in the same school for about 1.5 years and I haven't made much progress with friends. Academically, I'm an all A student. I also tried using MySpace and Facebook but I couldn't attract too many new friends that I can hang out with. It may seem odd, but I sometimes cry every week or so to let emotions out. I just cry at the fact that no one knows me for being who I am; many teachers say that I'm a very friendly guy. I tried talking about this with my parents but they just won't understand. I also play tennis and have tennis team tryouts coming up within 2 weeks and so I don't want to mentally low at the time. Anything you guys think I should do next? Thanks =)

Death is death. What is the big deal about death? Being a Christian, I have faith that whatever happens will happen. God's will is to be done. When I die, I am gone. Send money now so that you will not have to buy flowers when I die. Lots of money. Do you worry about your death and why?

My 11 year old cousin went into a coma on super bowl sunday. She had caught some type of flew that elevated her temperature to dangerous levels. She was admitted to the hospital and shortly after, she began to have fever enduced seizures. She is now in what doctors might call, a fever enduced coma. I was wondering if some one here could give me the chances of her survival and pray for her with me. She is a wonderful kid and she has alot of life left to live.Her organs are begining to fail. Please pray for her. Thank you.

Last winter my dad had a mini-stroke. When we took him to the hospital they told us that he had them before because they had seen scar tissue on his brain. Before his mini-stroke he was a very caring man, always putting his family before him. He was a stay-at-home dad in which he raised my sister (17 yrs old) and I (19 yrs old) alone. Now he seems to be blaming others for his failures regarding losing jobs, divorces that have happened 10 years ago and his other multiple money troubles. I was wondering if his changes were due directly to the stroke, or if it was more of a thing where he realized he isn't immortal? Also, how can I help my sister cope with this. She is younger than me and I feel really bad that she doesn't seem to completely understand the situation. She doesn't seem to know or accept why he is acting the way he is. He is still a wonderful father, but he is not able to accept blame for his own actions and is very irritable and depressed.

my ex bf. I feel it was pretty severe. I have been to 2 therapists and now I am starting with a new one. Its been 7 months but it was so hard to accept. I was with him for 2 years.He layed the big suicide threats on me, b/c he was so depressed only to find out he got a one night stand pregnant. He would tell me not to call the police or he would kill himself. Then after I helped him, he left me for the mother of his child. I needed to know who I was dealing with so I did my own research.Come to find out he met this one night stand in a chatroom. He has picked up other girls in chatrooms. He did the same suicide deal on a previous girl, but she was smart enough to call the police, he told them she lied & did this b/c she was upset over the breakup.I called him recently to tell him I know all this, & he came back w/ a threat that he filed a complaint against me. I'm over him trust me, but I was not over what he did to me. Please don't tell me I should have let it go. Its easier to say
