I have been in the hospital a few times with my nerves.
My family will not have anything to do with me at all. I would never hurt nobody. I do not get invited on christmas etc. They have told people some diagnosis that is not even true. When I even get a job they call to see if I am there right on the first day. I have a fear of working because, I am scared that they may call my boss,and tell them things about me that are not true at all ,and my boss will even fire me. I do not work because I am too scared,and I am scared that they will call my landlord ,and try to get me evicted beause of my mental health .I look,and act just like everyone else.Why are they doing or would even try to do this to me.My brother told me that my mother told him I was Scizopheric,and all I have is depression so now he has diconnected his phone.I mean he changed his number to an unlisted number.I love my family,and wish they loved me too.

Im 18 & sr in hs, i was thinking about trying for baseball, but i don't know if it's worth it. I've had very bad luck with sports (couldn't play soccer this year cause of an injury) & went out for baseball as a soph just to be the last one cut (literally the last since the jv coach couldnt decide & kept me an extra tryout just end up cutting me). Then he said the reason was cause the Vars coach didnt think i would make it, but now that same JV coach is on varsity, & he seemed to at least think i had some talent since he kept me & was the last cut.

However, I didnt play last year or tryout, & theres a lot of politics w/ sports as you're expected to play in private summer leagues (basically the seniors are already picked). This coach said i could be a manager & do all the summer leagues, but i didnt since i was away for summer.

Is it worth being cut again just to see what might happen, or keep some dignity from these sports/politics(& not leave hs as the 1 who was cut again)?

I have a quick temper and when I get upset I just lose it yelling, cussing until my throat hurts or I burst into tears. I often times lose it over things that just don't matter and sadly I lose it mostly with the people closest to me (son, friends, family, etc). I try the deep breathing crap but it doesn't help and I usually don't even think of it until half way through my fit.....any tips on ways to have better control of temper esp. with the cussing?!? thanks

I can't help myself. Sometimes, when I see something out of place, I have to straighten it. But sometimes, I just leave it alone. Like, in my room, there's a mess all over the floor. But my bed is completely clean, with 2 pillows stacked together, and 3 blankets piled neatly on top of each other and folded down at the top. Do I have obsessive compulsive disorder, or am I just a selective perfectionist?

Does the disorder affect how much and often the person thinks about what others are thinking about them? Is there another disorder that causes a person to think that someone is watching them in their house, or is it the same disorder? I often have a feeling that someone is in my house, even though I know no one is in my house, I can't shake the feeling. I also constantly overthink about what other people think about me.

Im having weird mood swings. I'm only 16. Sometimes i'll be this kind, generous person.... and about 10 minutes later... i feel very hateful and feel like killing myself, and I will scream at my family, and rip paper up, and listen to sad music. I even cut myself. And carve things into my leg! HELP ME!!!!

Hears the deal. I am 13 year old in the 7th grade. I am a shy, perfectoinist who is very depressed. I am dreading every moment of my life. I am ready for it to end. I would be to chicken to do suicide and I know how bad that would hurt not only me, but my parents, family, and friends. But I do feel I need to do something to make all my problems end. I can't tell my parents because they are on planet parents where all parents are just clueless. I am afraid I will start cutting myself, committing suicide, ect. People I have asked on Yahoo! answers have been telling me to go out and play a sport, but I do. I have tennis every day except Sunday. I am #1 seed on my middle school team. I have Church Sunday though. I know I am young to be depressed, but, yet, I am. I grades are starting to drop. I have always had all A's, but now I have about 3 B's. (Which is a big deal to me.) I am afraid I will drive myself crazy trying to be this unreal thing called perfect everybody thinks I am. MORE...

How is it that so many people on this particular category get away with such dangerous stupidity, unchecked? Why would you be answering on a mental health question when you're obviously clueless and are toying with peoples lives? Do you people honestly think there's an "easy" fix for depression by "just getting over it", "just getting out there"? That it's ok to not take teens seriously and call it angst instead of depression just because they're not complete hermits yet? That "something" has to have "happened" in their lives recently to cause it, otherwise they're making it up? Do you ever stop to think of the impact this could have on someone reaching out with a VERY serious, dangerous condition and nowhere to turn?

think I have OCD & a lot of people agree. i'm a 15 year old girl & i have so many rituals to do all the time. The thing is, most of them arent rituals that i regularly do, most are spur of the moment things, for example
a few days ago i was looking through my bag & i found 3 eyeliners, they were brown, blue, & black. something clicked in my head & i needed to get 3 people to say brown blue black to me. I asked my friends & most thought i was crazy but i couldnt stop. I got ready to follow them home just so they would say those colors to me! Another time, all i had to eat that day was 2 packs of cashews & 2 snapples, i was on the bus & i couldnt stop reciting my calorie intake for the day! I did it backwards, inverse, i counted it in my head depending on when i ate it, then when that didnt feel right, i felt i needed to do it again this time not in the order i ate them, but backwards, or the 2 drinks together, & THEN the cashews. Every day I pace back & forth in my house &

I think I might be depressed. I'm only a teen, and am afraid my amatuer self diagnosis won't be taken seriously, so i need to know your views. Last year, one of my friends (who wants to be a psychiatrist) said she thinks I'm depressed, and wanted me to be a guidance conselor. I barely get any sleep (from anxiety) and am always exhausted the next day. Everybody says I never smile, and i have lke, permanent bags under my eyes. I've heard depression, and bipolar disorder, but as I said, I won't be taken seriously. Help?

I am 21, and since I was about 14 I have been hearing these voices. They aren't scary or harmful in anyway, but just hearing someone else's voice, (whom I don't recognize at all) can be very distracting and at times very annoying. One of my older sisters has the same thing going on with her too, and she says the same things I do when she hears them, "Uh, what?!" When I hear these voices, they don't make any sense whatsoever. Everytime I hear something, it is completely random. They are fragmented, and I have no idea why I am hearing them in the first place! Can somebody help me out with this? Even if you're not a licensed professional, it would just be nice to hear what you have to say!

she has been on the medication for approx. 40 years. She is
going through the menopause and was referred to hospital.
Doctors have warned her that the medication she is taking
(Phenobarbitone and Phenytoine) will do her harm in later life.
They have suggested changing her medication. But she does
not know what to do. These days we here of Death in Epilepsy
and we are wondering if these new tablets would be the cause.
She has to go back to hospital middle of March and has to make
a decision by then. Help! The doctors have suggested that she
gets as much advise as she can from internet, friends, family etc.
But its a tall order. She has not been feeling well, but has put that
down the the early stages of menopause. And feels sometimes
that she is going to have an epileptic fit. She hasn,thad one for six
years. Any advice would be appreciated.

I really think i have developed anorexia. My therapist has asked if i eat enough - i said yes. I am too scared to say that i think i have a problem in case she thinks i am too fat to have anorexia and laughs to herself.
