ok i lost my mom when i was 10..she was my world to me ...she really loved me and i loved her too...since her death i never really felt love...i was left alone...i am still not over her death...and i think i will never ever be.
But there is this strange fear in my mind...fear of being in love with someone..i am scared that if i ever fallin love with someone i will loose that person to death also...so i just run away from love...i wana be alone for the rest of my life..i dont wana be with anyone.
being alone does hurt me...but still i cant help myself..i dont wana love anyone.
This is not normal i know.
anyone ever felt this way before? what will be my future? i think i am not living for more than 10 more years , i am 20 right now.
y do i run away from ppl?

I turned 18 last July. I graduated from high school last June and started working a full time job. I would work 5 out of 7 days working 9-5.
Three months ago I started feeling all depressed, whatever I would do, something just doesn't feel right. I feel that my life the world has changed way too much. I dont want to die or commit suicide, but life for me feels kind of empty. Sometimes I dont have any interest in the things I used to do. I am feeling like the time is going way too fast and that my life is passing me by.
I havent been hanging with my friends or going out lately. I would just come home from work, stay at home and sit on the computer or watch TV for hours. I feel like I dont have the time to do anything the way I used to.
Here and there I would get easily annoyed and often I would be paranoid about everything as if something bad is about to happen.
Is this feeling normal at this age?, Am i just going through a phase? Will I ever enjoy life again?? How can I fix this?

I'm not suicidal...but I'd like to know what others think about it. Is it ever an answer? Is it the most selfish thing someone can do? Is it the right move for someone who's terminally ill?

My Ex (we hav been broken up a year adn a half after a 3 year relationship) is very depressed and suicidal right now. I know that I have always been able to make him feel better and I really think I can help... but he mentally abused me so bad that I think I might get caught back in it. What would you do if you were me? Leave him to cope on his own, or help him out?

I am the mother of 2 children, my oldest is 10 and a complete joy to be around. My son is 5 and was until December, I was mugged at gunpoint and was hit over the head with the gun. My son was with me and saw and heard everything. This was pretty traumatic for both of us. I have gotten over it. He hates me now. He doesn't want to be around me and when we go anywhere, he throws a fit to stay at home, but I can't just leave him alone. I used to be his best friend, he would sleep with me and cuddle with me, but since the incident with the robber, he doesn't want anything to do with me. He's in counseling but that just is not helping. Is there anything I can do to help him have a relationship with him.

I don't even know what all the symptoms of ADD are, so I don't know if I have it. It's really hard for me to focus on one thing, it's like my mind is hyper, I have so many random thoughts. When the teacher is talking to me, I just go into a daydream...everyday! Also, I have a really bad short-term memory.. Can someone tell me if I have ADD or what the symptoms of ADD are?

Also, it's like once I start doing something I get bored and move onto something else..I can't even read a whole book. not that i cant read i read very good but it is SO boring..I haven't read a whole book in about 5 years, and I'm only 17. I just cheat my way out of book reports by either downloading them, or picking a movie that has a book..

I am on Wellbutrin and Lexapro (600mg & 20mg) respectively. All the warning labels and medical stuff on the internet say that if you accidentially miss a dose to take the next one and do not douple-up. They also are explicit in saying that if you start to feel better, to NOT STOP taking the drugs. What happens if I do?

I have just got a new boyfriend (been together just over a month) and i am being totally insecure (i dont show this to him).

Anyway i have had really really REALLY bad luck with men in my life and this is the first guy to show me love and respect.

My problem is im totally insecure (i dont have a very high self esteem!) i get all upset if he doesnt say "i love you" at the end of a text if i say it to him (which is know is really stupid cuz i know he loves me and he always says it when were face to face) and i get all upset if i dont see him every day (i think he is avoiding me even though the fact of the matter is that i see him almost every day and he is probaly just tired and wants to spend a night with his family every now and then).

I know all this is ridiculous but i still cant stop feeling that way. I know he loves me and enjoys being with me.

How can i stop feeling so insecure about myself and just enjoy what we have together?

Thanks
