minus his depression. I was there for him for much of it. He never was treated professionally. WE are 29 yrs old and he had gotten a one night stand pregnant before we met. When I helped him come to terms with it, he left me to be with the mother of his child. She played her part well, I am sure she manipualted him into thinking he should have been there,& what he missed out on. He turned so coldly to me,& said hurtful things, I couldnt believe. Like that we were never really together & did I think it was really going to work between us!! WE had nothing but love for each other. I couldnt beleive he was saying this to me for complete trash. Now, he found out she lied to him about her childhood saying she was raped, molested. & he ended the relationship with her. But now he cant and wont even talk to me now. First I want to know how could he turn on me like that? Is it part of depression? at least he could have been respectful, I was shocked.Also, do you think he is ashamed, emabarrased?

I'm just curious.
I've heard the government can refuse to hire people if they've been hospitalized for it. There are jobs I'd love to go for, but I'm worried they'd do a background check, find out about how I was hospitalized for it, and refuse to hire me. And I'm thinking it would be legal for them to. Is it?
I am considering going into social work to help people who also suffer from depression. Will this get in the way of that?

I am prescribed Adderall XR and I take 80mg everyday... Before I took it I slept alot... it has helped me SOO much in terms of being able to focus and accomplish what I was supposed to be doing, instead of losing track 1000 times and staying awake and not wanting to take naps everyday...
either way i ran out of my prescription a few weeks ago and was out of town so I just figured I would be fine not taking it for the weekend, and Without having it in my system all i did was SLEEP! I slept for 14 hours the next day and couldve gone right back to sleep... The next day was just as bad, till I got the script filled... and i tried going a couple days without it just to see and its starting to bother me that unless I have the adderall in my system my body wants to shut down and sleep... Like on cue regardless of what I am doing 12 hours after I take it... I have to sleep, anyone go through this? Cause it helps me so much but I am not comfy with this sleeping my life away without it??

my father is a hoarder. he cant throw anything away. he even goes thro bins and takes stuff out and stores it in the garden. the house is stuffed full of piles of newspapers and other rubbish. the attic is so full of junk that i think it might collapse. the garden is a junk-yard. he has 5 cars that dont work. he can only just get into his bedroom and he cant get into his garage.

he wont talk about stuff and doesnt think that he has a problem.
he doesnt realise that it affects the whole family.

what can i can do to help him?

it affects my dad's family so much that his marriage is damaged because his wife isnt happy and his children cant visit him, he is not happy living like this, and he is affecting the live of the people close to him.

I am coming from a place of love, and i only want to help HIM be happy. I am not being selfish here. I'm sure there are deep rooted reasons for his behaviour, but i'd like to help him through his fears or whatever it is that drives him

Last week I attempted to take the antidepressant Lexapro, because it was recommended to me by the fine people here on Yahoo answers, and my doctor agreed it was a good option for me.
Well, last week I had many complications from it--dizziness and my entire body was stiff and swollen) and I even collapsed at work. As a result, my doctor took me off of the meds because she believes I was allergic to it.
This is my third attempt at taking an antidepressant (have tried prozac and zoloft in the past, with the same results). I suffer from depression and anxiety and was wondering if anyone out there knows and natural, herbal remedies or supplements that I can try to see if that will help and better, because I can't go on like this!

What could it mean if you wake up just as tired (or even more) than when you went to bed?
This is after sleeping for the normal 7-9 hours.

i swear, nobody gets me. they all don't understand me. so they make assumptions and most of the time they are completely false. I'm trying to be myself, not caring what other people think, but it's really backfiring. My whole life I've been careful of what i said, always contemplating what i said before i said it. now i feel free and it's not working out. people think i'm an angry person. i'm not. people think i'm unmotivated, I'm not. people think I don't care, I do. people think I'm selfish, I'm most certainly not.
Now, why do I care? why should I get all upset because people think these things when my goal was to not care what people think. But now that they are thinking incorrectly It's bothering me a lot. it's also effecting my school and work. appearantly I can't NOT care what people think after all.

My thyroid was removed 20 yrs. ago; hence, something in my brain tends to hyperfocus on certain details. I am getting treatment for this and aim every day to rise above it. However, it comes out when my boyfriend, who says I am the one, are talking. He has a daughter. Wouldn't a man be wary of exposing a child to this kind of thought process? One detail - his wife died 7 years ago because she did not talk about her problems and overdosed on prescription drugs. I appreciate your advice and comments! Thank you8.

I heared numerous times that meditation helps people with mental problems and other various health problems. The thing is, that would defy one of the main ideas in meditation.. "NO GAIN"

You sit, just to sit... Not to gain anything. But how can someone with a problem do something that he hopes will help him, without hoping that it will? This in itself brings inner conflict which interferes with the process of eliminating all thoughts, relaxing, etc.

On the other hand, if I would sit just to sit, I'd quickly get bored, because I have no goal !

I'd like to hear stories. How did you start meditating? Did you have a teacher? Did you have a set "goal"? How do you meditate? Did it help you in anyway? How are you now?

(Stories from people with "problems" only please. No point hearing this from people who were fine to begin with.)

About 5 months ago I was writing my husband a letter beacuse we were seperated. I was telling him how much I have always loved him and the kids and all of a sudden I got scared and thought that God was having me writ this because I was going to die. Every since then I keep getting this scary bad feeling that I am going to die and now I can't stop thinking about it. And every time I start to do something like go grocery shopping or clean the house I start thinking "I'm gonna die" and it bothers me so bad that I can't function from day to day. I was wandering if anyone else has had a similar experience? If so please share it with me . I need to know if this could be ocd or anciety or what?

Hello I would like to know more about what you know about the effects of irregular sleeping hrs.

I'm a college student, I bought a laptop and got internet connection this past year. I did not know how to deal with this and eventually got to the point where I was on the internet until 2 o 3 am or even until 6 am.

although I did sleep that late, I did slept until 11 am or so. So I did get sleeping hours but just at irregular times. I mention this because sometimes irregular sleeping hours is tought to be the same as sleep deprivation (not sleeping enough hours).

So I did sleep liki 6 -8 hours but just went to bed late and slept late. Sometimes went to bed at 1:00 am, 2:00 am , 3:00 am

I know now that this was wrong.

But what would be the effects of having done that for the entire past year? Do neurons burn out, will I get sick, I don't know. I just feel bad for having made such poor decisions.

I know I have to clean house, but I have a hard time getting motivated to do it--especially if I am the only one who is going to see it for a while. I've found that listening to my iPod helps, but what else is good self-motivation to get the job done???

My usual reaction to any type of challenge or conflict is to curl up in a ball and hide. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to go into a situation and know that I can handle whatever will happen. How can I prepare myself for any situation (dating, job interview, talking to my boss, meeting new people) in a positive and mature way?

I have been suffering from severe depression for a few months now. I have been taking medication, I've went to see a therapist. I've even stayed in the psych ward at the hospital for a while, and released even though I still wasn't well. I want to know if there's anything else I can do to help myself get better, or if I just have to simply "wait it out".

hi, i just really want to thank everyone out there who contributed some support to my two questions that i asked. if you remember( how do i cope) it was about my finace' who was suffering from cancer. i really want to thank you guys for the support it really helped a lot. my fiance' is beating cancer,he is getting better thank god. i did exactly what you guys told me to do , it made us closer and his family closer to me. his cancer is matastasis. it spreads to the body. thankfully his didn't in time because they ditected it before it did. before we found out that he was beating it he gave up hope and was ready to die,i also gave up hope because of the mental state he was in. but now he's getting better. and we are thankful. one more thing i just want to say to everyone out there who has someone suffering from cancer,it is ok to be scared and also ok to ask god why you or why your loved ones. just give them the support you can and be there with them to motivate and help get through.
