I have been very, very sad lately. I am a terrable mother (I get very fustrated when my 6 month old won't let me sleep) and I yell a lot at my two yellow labs. I hate my husband and pretty much my life. I can't seem to loose the baby weight (I'm VERY fustrated with that) and have even contemplated starting meth or smoking to loose the weight (I haven't smoked in 5 years). I feel terrably stressed and work two dead end jobs. Am I suffering from post pardom depression, or just life as a looser?

I'm doing a project for psychology. I know the chances of a person going crazy is greater if it runs in (one side of) the family, but how much greater?

Please put this in the context of having a perfectly normal lineage on one side of the family and a history of mental illness for the other.

I was Diagnosed with BPD five years ago, as well as Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Dissociative Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Depressive Disorder, and Anorexia. I underwent treatment for about a year, and I am still taking meds (Prozac), and I am alot better, though I still have relapses of self injury at times. My question is, can I still get help for these disorders now that I have children without having the risk of having them taken away from me? They are my world, and I do not want to risk welfare getting involved. They do not even factor into reasons why I want to get help. I have self issues. Another thing is, am I eligible for any time of social security or disability? When I was diagnosed, the therapist said that my disorders could very well become a problem with holding a day to day job, which I have never been able to do, even before my diagnosis. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a dear friend who has a problem with alcohol. He is now hallucinating very badly.
Do all clinics only accept you on a voluntary basis as we have tried to get him into a clinic but they wont take him ubless its voluntary. Do you know of anything I can do to help him? I live in S.A.

Wellbutrin (anti-depressent) or not?
Over the past two years I've become holisticly minded. I very rarely take tylenol and never artifical sweetners etc
I have an ongoing major depression w/sadness, no focus, indecision, isolation. My life changed 14 months ago when I quit a job I hated but supported me financially w/ a degree of security. Bad timing was a breakup the day before. I wouldn't label my funk depression for the 1st 7 months but rather extreme heartbreak as I struggled financially and tried to build a new business.
Well the business has proved to be challanging by virtue of the FDA (another story) + other things. I'm still doing it on a small level while going deeper into debt. I'm in a deep funk, often feel paralized, have way to much free time-which makes everything worse.
In desperation I got on Wellbutrin yesterday. For months I've considered it but always went back to "I'm going to defeat this funk by virtue of worthwhile action" I'm worried about putting these chemicals into my body.keep taking?

If a husband and wife is in a nursing home together...why are they put in seperate rooms? A psychologist once told me that there are reasons for it, but I never got to hear the end of that conversation.

I was prescribed Xanax and Lexapro in July 2006 for severe anxiety and depression. After being on it for a month I completely lost it and threatened to kill myself to my g/f on the phone. I have since been off it for about 4 months and just recently have been an emotional wreck so I decided to get back on SSRI's (Lexapro) for a little while to get me through the next few months. I am scared that the drug might increase suicidal thoughts. Plenty of articles and studies on how SSRI's may increase suicide risk, I believe the feds made them put that on the warning labels now. I believe the rate of suicide with SSRI's was double the rate without them.

Can a doctor tell a patient in a rude and belittling way, telling the person.. oh, well everyone dies. Where stopping your treatment anyways... Making the patient feel as if all hope is lost and now they have a higher chance of an organ failing and maybe even cause death. Also infront of two other nurses making the patient feel incompetant and causing great sadness and fear. And have them police escorted the patient.

For many years I have suffered from clinical depression and anxiety. I'm 21 and no ssri's have ever worked they just make me feel on edge and peciuliar. I wish to understand the science of it all. Can someone with normal seritonin levels suffer with clinical depression? Attemps to increase these levels don't work for me and I find that being in a certain state of mind that even cures my tourettes and giving me exelent verbal fluency is the same feeling I get during sleep sometimes. Its rare but highly eurphoric my whole body feels relaxed and this feeling of warmth. If I wake up early I can feel like that until I start shaking and feeling sick due to lack of sleep, or sometimes when I'm stoned or if I'm in love or infatuated with someones looks. Is my brain releasing a different chemical?

I notice that I'm only depressed in the winter. Summer rolls around and I either forget or don't care about what had made me depressed. Is it a seasonal thing?

Lately I have been feeling distance from my friends & left out, & that they are 2 busy for me.. I don't feel like I have anyone 2 just talk 2 & been feeling very lonely.. I feel like I am stuck in a rutt & nothing seems 2 excite me too much anymore.. I don't have enough money 2 change my situation or see a councillor & have tried unsuccessfully 2 find a higher paying job 2 try & feel better about something... Last night I broke down & started crying.. at 24 I live by myself & work by myself in a small office all day..I just felt unloved & it got 2 much for me.. I am not overly close with my parents & they don't express their feelings...they have never told me that they love me.. I have never had a member of the opposite sex tell me they love me.. I have never been in love.. it all came to me when I realised the only reason I have been thinking of getting a puppy is so that I have someone that loves me unconditionally... I am unsure of what 2 do.. has anyone else felt this low before?

I know you are supposed to taper off but I am not sure exactly how and my darn COBRA hasn't kicked in yet and I don't want to go to the doctor. My dosage is high and it is causing too many side effects - headaches and so on - and I want to see if I can go without meds for a change. Any good advice would be appreciated.
