Things affect me so deeply and I'm hesitant to open up to others. I have very few close friends but I'm an incredibly compassionate person and try to reach out to others in my own quiet way. I'm VERY shy around guys and I am just feeling down about being shy and sensitive. People say it's easy to not be like that, but it's really not . I wish I could totally be myself around others and not have things affect me so deeply. Is there anything positive about these qualities? How can I stop feeling bad about being shy and sensitive?

Currently on 60 mg. Just went on it. Also have a small cold, some of these may be attributed to that. Currently experiencing: MAJOR dizziness; Flu-like symptoms; feelings of being detached; lack of appetite; Dizziness (yes, I know I already said that one....its bad lol); trouble sleeping (sleep for few minutes, wake up "fully rested"....only not); blurry vision (comes and goes)....You get the idea. Any ideas on if these will fade as body gets used to meds? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I am 24 and I've had a relationship with a girl for last 5 years which I broke up a few months back. I got pretty depressed after the break up, she was very much part of my life. Now that I'm single again, I am lacking the desire to start a new relationship. I do not feel like engaging with a conversation with any girl for longer time than a couple of minutes. I step back from every girl who likes to get along with me. I really want to forget the previous relationship but am not able to. Should or shouldn't I tell about my previous relationship with my new acquaintances? How do I forget about my previous relationship to start over with my life again?

I'm just curious on peoples opinions....do you think it's better to take meds or try to self medicate? Why or why not? Also, is it possible if someone doesn't treat a mental illness that it can become worse and even form into a new illness. For instance an untreated bipolar becoming schizophrenic?

This has happened a few times to me and the circumstances seem to be fairly consistent so I'm not sure what it is.

On several occasions I have awakened just after falling asleep, caught a cold draft on the back of my neck, and started shaking uncontrollably for about 15 minutes. The more I resist, the more intense the shaking. I found that the best way to get rid of it is to relax. I can talk and think clearly but it's really full-body tremors - jaw, neck, upper arms, torso, upper legs/buttocks and is a little scary. It's like a shiver but much worse. It has happened 3 times when I'm sleeping in a room with several other people. Is this a social anxiety thing? It's weird. I eventually tire out and fall asleep without a problem. It happens with or without alcohol.

My doctor put me on Paxil for my anxiety and told me that it would help me with depression as well. I don't think I'm depressed nor do I feel depressed (have been in the past) but do suffer from anxiety disorder. And today I took my first Paxil pill and lots of stuff running through my head. I feel angry...I feel mad.... this is not my persona at all. I'm a very happy person, especially around my family. And ironically today, has not been a good day. Very angry and no reason that I can think of. Unsure if its a side effect and i'm trying to be optimistic about takign this medication. Any input would be appreciated.

I was recently given Clonazepam (generic for Klonopin) for anxiety before bed, as well as Zoloft to take once a day. I tried taking the Klonopin during the day and it REALLY helped me deal with things and be a lot more calm- including the fact that I felt a lot like my old self, up-beat and laughter, and outgoing. But Im on a 1mg dose (practically a childs dose), and technically I am only suppose to take it before bed. But I was wondering if anybody else is on this medication during the daytime, and if it is a med that is prescribed over long or short periods of time. Im thinking of asking my Dr. to up the dose (so it doesnt wear off after 2 hours, like it has been), or if there is another medication with similar positive effects that can be taken long term.
She also only gave me 10 pills, and then told me to see her in 2 weeks. (Also, I have been taking 2 pills a day, after looking at the online rec. dosage, the max for an adult is 3.5mg) (Im only on 1 mg a day.)

I've read competing arguments. Some argue that depression is a legitimate disease while others argue that depression is not real, aside from those people with measured chemical imbalances.

when the dr. who was going to administer it heard that I smoke pot, she said I would be better off trying some other medicines on a lower dosage. My regular shrink had been trying to get me to increase me dosages - I refused because I knew they weren't working. Has anyone heard of such a thing?

I'm the type of person to run away from their problems before being hurt.

thing is.. i feel like i'm only turning to the Lord when i need help... and when it comes in time for praise i feel like... i don't want to.
when my heart is in pain i turn to him
i feel like i don't wanna feel anything for anyone; like i don't have the time or energy to. I don't want to do any work, i just want to sit and do nothing at all. i don't know whats going on with me now a days.
i'm procrastinating a lot on school work.
but i don't want to be procrastinating.. especially when it comes to God.

I don't even know what i'm doing asking you guys.

maybe a nap..
a long.. nap.

My 10 year old has just been prescribed Ritalin for ADHD. After questioning the psychatrist ref long term effects, i was told that he had searched but found no written evidence of this.
Is there anyone out there whos child has taken or is currently taking this drug and whats your views on this. I know of the side effects in regards to appetite and sleeplessness.
I have had problems with my son since he was 3 years old with all the common adhd problems (although hyperactivity is low, impulsiveness and a major lack of concentration is highly present which affects his social skills immensly).
I as a parent dont even take paracetamol if i have a headache so i am worried what 'crap' i am giving my child!
Ps Please no-one say give him a slap because people who say this are damn ignorant - and regarding parenting issues i attended classes 3 years ago which did not have any positive effect on his behaviour...only made him agressive and to be honest i was doing mostly what they trained.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what to do when i feel like i need to do a routine. One routine i HATE specifically is when i am getting dressed, i need to keep touching the door to make sure it is closed and locked properly. The whole time im in the shower, i have to look at the door and see if its locked. Also when i am in a bathroom stall even though i see myself lock it, i have to touch the lock again and again.

Another example is when i am doing math equations in math class i have to take out a calculator and repeat the problem like 5 times to make sure its right. And even when i know its right and i have moved on to another problem, ill go back and do that problem over and over and over. My Psychiatrist said to work on trying not to routine. How does everyone else deal with trying not to routine?

Hi. My girlfriend can't control her anger. Last argument we had, she started acting as a mentally sick person. She looses control, and I've tried to help her but nothing seems to work. Inhaling, exhaling air, meditating, counting 1 to 50, Nothing! when she finishes, she starts crying because she realizes all the damage she's done, but she can't control herself. She's ashamed, and sorry but then she does it again. Do you know any pills, herbs, anything that we might try to prevent this behavior? maybe we should go to a doctor, but before taking that step, any advice? thank you!
