so in having bipolar my parents have seen my ups and downs. However sometimes whenever im pissed they think oh it must be the bipolar. If im crying or sad it must be the bipolar nevermind the person who is dealing with it for 24/7. My parents see me as bipolar and whenever I tell them what i want to do they expect me to change my mind. Now I love my parents but sometimes they cant even help themselves. Thats why I dont go to them. I guess the truth is I wish I could and I know for a fact that they themeselves are confused. My mom has talked about leaving my dad. In any event I cant go to them Im stuck with my pseudo family of mental healthcare professionals. Its hard and everything hurts. Anyone have this problem or have any tips?

Today at work I was feeling fine, then all of a sudden I just started crying my eyes out and couldn't stop and had to run to the back room and kept crying. I'm really scared everyone I work with thinks I'm nuts, does anyone know what could have caused this? I didn't feel sad;

have emotional breakdowns when I see things that deal with childhood, parenting, family, and things of that nature. My dad did leave when I was 9 and my mom and I do have a good relationship. I'm 22 now and I have a good life, I am not that depressed. Some days I am in a great mood while others seem like punishment to be alive. I am a college sr and have goals, so when I get depressed, I just slack off a little bit, but I know in order to graduate, I have to get up out of bed and go to class. I just have these feelings of guilt, regret, slight hopelessness, and total sadness when I come across these subjects. What is this? I am easily bothered and normally melt down once I can get by myself for a few minutes.
What is this? What can I do about it? I don't understand it.

ok so i try to be myself in front of people but it seems like they just tell me to get lost. Im a really energetic person and i like to mess around, its just part of me but i dont take things too far. My two real friends love it but everyone else hates it.

Well after being rejected alot ive been broken down. Isolating myself from people and trying to talk to people with little more laid back attitude. It doesn't work either i just get ignored or am told to get lost. i just feel everywhere i go i am hated for being me. i feel no one wants to be my friend and i don't know why. I feel completely abandoned, worthless and useless. I used to be very positive but this and other things have caused me to literally beat my self up on the inside. I just don't know what to do.

Also i have been dealing with some depression but have been getting help with that...but that might be making this a bit worse.

any help will be greatly appreciated
thanx

I've been super exahusted lately, and very emotional. I feel run down allot, falling asleep is a huge problem for me. My husband left for Iraq and My family isn't being very supportive. Im living in an area that is 15000 miles form home, and I've only been here for a month. The other wives arent very nice, and Im having a great level of difficulty fitting in. Is it possible Im suffering from depression? If I talk to a therapist am I likely to be prescibed an anit-depresant? Is there a way to avoid that?

People say that muscles only grow if you let them rest. Working out 3 times a week proves to be better than 7 due to lil. time to heal . What if the brain works the same. We really don't know so much about the brain. I'm saying that people go to school 5 times a week, constant work on the mind that it has no time to recover or build up knowledge. Maybe thats why we people have only been using 1/10 of their brains. Has anyone tested a real hard mental workout 3 times a week (possibly doing calculus since it requires a lot of thought ranging to timed puzzles throughout a 15 hr perioud) then completly shut down to relaxing and nothing else for a day or 2 then back to hard core mental workout. This would of course have to go for at least a few weeks to see result, (IQ) increase or whatever. I work out a lot and also noticed that there are millions of patturns/relations in nature, why not this one too. Just randomly thinking while stuggling on a calc 2 problem and had to type this up

He is seventeen and yesterday tried to kill himself by setting himself on fire. We really need all the prayers no matter what religious beliefs you have, as long as you believe in a higher power. As for the atheists, I would greatly appreciate kind words for him as he is atheist as you are. He is a wonderful person, who has been battling this for 4 years. When he was given a blood test, there were no traces of drugs or alcohol. Please no hateful answers as we could use your prayers and best wishes.

I was raped when I was 9.
Now I'm 22 and I usually get myself into trouble.
There are times that I get the feeling that I like to be abused sexually. I look for people who would hurt me and then after they've abused me I cry and hate myself and would usually cut myself.
I can't disguss this with my psychologist because I'm not ok about it and I feel humiliated if I do.
What's wrong with me?

I have panic/anxiety attacks where I have an adrenaline rush along with a host of other symptoms. What I notice is, after a bad attack, my body seems to calm itself down on it's own. What causes this calmness? Does the adrenaline/stress eventually drain from your system?

I was out with several people. They had all ran away somewhere else and I was alone with a guy. He was touchy feely but I didn't mind because he was drunk. He stopped at this area and told me that he needed to rest. He told me to sit next to him. He told me to be infront of him and he put his hand underneath my shirt and was grabbing my chest. In my mind I didn't want him to but I was so shocked. Then he asked if he could kiss me i didn't know what to say so i said yes. He stuck his tongue in my mouth and suddenly my mind caught up wit me and I backed away and said no stop.
He stopped after a little while when I started walking away and told him I was gonna go catch up with everyone else to go eat. and he told me he had something for me to eat meaning (oral)
I calmly said no. I left in a hurry and felt upset. I started crying quite hard after 40 minutes from the incident. I feel low now, sad, disgusted with myself and I feel it's my fault because i had said yes at that time.

For the last couple months I've made some choices I shouldn't have. In December I overdosed on ibuprofen. Over time, this became more regular and now its rare to go two days without overdosing. My real problem is that I'm a teenager. I'm afraid of what my Mom will say if I tell her but I desperately want to. I want to get help but I'm unsure how. I've only told one person this. She has tried to help me to stop and is trying everything. I get bad headaches after I overdose. I also get very dizzy and light-headed. Its really messed up my basketball season. I need help!
