As this ever happened to anyone before. when i was sleeping i felt something pressing me down and it also felt like something was holding my neck i couldn't breath and i could not move. I think i was still asleep then, i tired to move but my body was so heave. To make long story short this happen to me like five time in in that same night. I also dreamed that i could fly. I dream about my driver i don't even know how he ended up in the dream. Anyway the one that freaked me out the most was i saw two of myself and i was running to get back to bed in the night. When i got to my bedroom i saw someone sleeping on my bed the person was not moving at all.. well i found out that the person was me... i laid next to myslef holding my chest and when i woke up i found myself still hoding my chest. And also i saw myself again but i didn't look that lively i looked like a ghost i was staring at myself and laughing. My face was really white. I was just standing there looking at myself. Any Advice

Ok, so I'm a horrible procrastinator. Everything gets done at the absolute *last* moment to the deteriment of my health. Surfing the internet, checking email, doing favors for other people, chatting online, eating food, random stupid things... absolutely everything seems to kill my time. Heck, at this very moment I'm wasting time on Yahoo answers. The fact that I live in a dorm-like setting means also that a) my roommate is a severe distraction and that b) people wandering into my room in the wee hours of the morning make it worse. I'm not a bad student either, so I try to perform well on items at hours long past when normal people would have given up. The simple techniques touted for "curing" procrastination just do not work (ie: tell yourself you'll work on something for five minutes and then after five minutes promise yourself again).

I have some serious issues with procrastination that need to be fixed before I end up dying of sleep deprivation. Can anyone please help??

it will be the 10th annivesary of my daughters death on the 12 feb, I am still angry with life and with myself for not being able to make her well, I have struggled with life and lonliness since she went, when I was 22 I lost a girlfriend of 5years she was 19y.o. I was a single father after splitting from my kids mother when my son was 10 and daughter was 9, my son still lives with me and now is 27, I find it hard to have a relationship with a woman for fear of losing them again, I have been on many different anti-depressants in the last 10 years and been off and on at work, sometimes I get real low and have tried to commit suicide twice, how can I get out of this rut and find someone to share my life without me getting so negative

My arms hurt after I sleep.......sleep through the night, or when I nap. They hurt when I wake up. I'm not a very big person. 133 pounds, at five seven. Is it because I'm laying on them too long and don't have enough muscle in my arms? I guess this seems like a dumb question, but I've never had so much pain like this in my arms. They last for hours too.

My last relathionship lasted 6 months and it was sexualy active.The break off was hard and it's been 7 months since I didn't have any new relathionships or sex.At this moment I don't whant a relathionship.I do admit that I need sex but it's not a major problem and I can contain myself.Can not having sex for such a long time after being sexualy active 5 months cause any problems to my body or my mental state ?

I have been depressed & unable to control my emotions for the past 7 months, due to a bad breakup. I have been in therapy and also have been seeing a psychatrist. He has put me on several anti-depressants, but my body cant handle them, I get sick or feel worst then before.I dont know what to do anymore. I feel a lot of resentment towards him, I get sad and cry alot, then that fuels alot of anger, in which I dont know how to control. I feel helpless and have very low self esteem. There have been times where I feel I just dont want to be anymore. I dont know how to deal with these emotions, they can be very overwhelming. I have tried to be around positive people, I try to go out. But when I have a moment alone to think, it all comes rushing back. I figured time would help, but it hasn't.I feel alone, betrayed, devalued, and really sad about how it all happened, it was not my choice. What should I do?Can someone who can relate please tell me? Never had depression until this happened.

I have this wonderful girlfriend who I love so much. I think about her all the time. Except that I am worried about her. She told me she has been to a mental institution for bipolar, depression, actual suicide attempts—cutting of the wrist/arms, and one thing got my attention is that sometimes she says she has homicidal tendencies I don’t know if their actual episodes. Is this a potentially dangerous person or am I just paranoid?

Hi, I was just wondering if therapy would be worth the money for me. I have health insurance, but am on a very tight income. My copay for therapy is $25 per session in addition to the $150 my company deducts from my check for health insurance. I tried it one other time before, but my therapist wanted me to come each week...$25 isn't bad...but every week is $100 a month. That is not a lot for some people, but is a lot for me. I have been diagnosed in the past with depression and was on anti-depressants for two years. I didn't like my therapist and I didn't think the meds help. I can function on a daily basis, but I constantly think I am fat, ugly, lazy. Also, I lose my temper frequently..over little things. I have never gotten physically violent, but I start screaming at people for no reason. I just want to be happy and it seems like whatever I do, I can not be happy. Should I invest in therapy to try to better my life?

i in therapy and it not going well, dont feel it helping at all, but i think that could be down to my mood being too low, would meds be a good idea to raise me up a bit (hopefully) for therapy to be more effective

what ya opinion

Based on everyones opinions -agree or disagree?
I've thought this over and came to decide that,with aim the reason teens like myself might commit suicide or hurt them selve's is a break-up online on aim.
whether they knew them in person or not
when the person "blocks" them and dosen't let them see when they are ever on...or if they are even blocked for that matter so they start getting upset/paranoid. the list goes on but don't you guys all think that the aim should have this program so it will notify you when you do get blocked. thanks.

now ive been taking wellbutrin for a while now and its making me more edgy, irritable, aggitated, paranoid, moody, and just completely offsided.
my skin and blood just boils more then ever before when i get mad and its only started when i started wellbutrin.
could it be that the chemicals that help replace the mood elivatores in this drug, is not what i need to find a balance.
could these be side effects, or a possible way to get a sezier, is this wat they do
i need some answers im just going completely insane over here
your suggestions matter thanx
