I know how this sounds but ever since I've gotten engaged (over a year ago, wedding July 07) it's been the most stressful time of my life. Me and my fiance have NO money, we can't save, and are not going to be able to pay for this wedding (which he wanted not me). We are so financially up shi*s creek right now it's beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I wake up gasping for breath at night feeling like my heart has stopped, I grind my teeth, I cry all the time. I'm so sick over the lack of finances, I'm at my wits end with the whole thing. I'm now on 1mg of zanex so I can sleep without waking up thinking that I'm dead or about to die. I honestly just don't know what to do. Not getting married is not an option, cancelling the reception will cost even more money we don't have and his mother is a big, fat, super annoying ***** whose making things even worse. I know no one has the answers but it sure feels good to tell a bunch of strangers. Sorry for the rant. Any help would be good.

Since I was born, I have always been a nervous unconfident child. From crying to get out of going to nursrey till now, I am still the same old shakey girl with no confidence what so ever. I can't peform on stage because I shake to much even though I'd probably enjoy it. I need help to give it a boost. I am already seeing a counsellor but she just helps me with other problems. I am really worried about moving to highschool next year, if I'm like this at middle school in the highest year imagiane what I will be like in high school being in the youngest year!
I just need some advice tips and maybe some activities to do to give it a boost. please help :(

My girlfriend suffers from depression and id like to know in what ways does this affect a relationship? I mean when i met her it wasnt so apparent but as time went by the depression showed itself. At first i thought it was me, and my reactions to her moods(although this is still probably true). And i see now how it affects her.......but she doesnt. She knows shes depressed and takes anti-depressants but she doesnt see the way she is, the way she interacts with me and people around her. She can be hostile and can fly off the handle very easily. One day she is great to be around and the next.......quite, remote, like she doesnt wanna know. This is taking its toll on me coz its my first real relationship and i dunno if this is the way things are normally when youre going out with somebody???????? Is it??? I dunno maybe its nothing to do with depression and its that shes just not into me......what do you think???? thanks

Hi

I cant control what I do, I have silly outbursts and cant stop saying silly words. I can be very annoying to some people on the internet as I just paste silly words in to the messenger but it seems to give me a thrill , stupid really, but I cannot help it!

I have really bad depression where I feel really down and other times where I feel really really happy and will tell people really silly stuff , pip my horn unecesarly ect...talk like a retard and shout at people out the window of my car telling them there silly.

I do not have a job right now and I have an ance problem which can seem to make the problem worse, although i dont think its the main cause of my depression although I wont no til they gone.

Im 19 teen male boy and I also have very angry feeling with the bad depression and at times.. its quite flucuation but nothings seems correct with me..

What is this likely to be, or am I simply a retard with a high IQ?

I am in the middle of changing doctors. I was told lowering my zoloft by 50 mgs a time is ok. I started at 200 mgs a day now i am lowering it by 50mgs. Is that too much at a time? Are there side effects when coming off of it?

Lately I've been feeling depressed, I'm not as enthusiastic as I used to be about things, and feel like I'm floating along. I have many options, but the two that stand out are.
1. Go and live, and work at a buddhist retreat center in Northern Californa. which would give me change of scenery, and tools to work through my internal issues through buddhist psychology.

2. Stay around here, find work, go to school and attend regualr therapy sessions with a Psychiatrist.

" My thinking is that you can't fix a car while it's running. " ie...if I go and work in a remote area with positive like minded buddhists it may help me. your thoughts?

How can one gain confidence as an adult?..... when they have gone a life time without it. Not allow yourself to be a push over. Be tough & develop personality all at the same time. My moods are sometimes high and then low. Sometimes I get so sad I want to commit suicide. But I know I cant. If I had confidence and was tough. I'd be able to survive anything. Are their classes or exercises u can do to help build confidence.............I always fail because i have no confidence in myself, im full of self doubt.............I want to end this.

When someone has mental control over someone else, but that person doesn't take any more of it and ends it....how does the other person feel when they lose this control? For example someone who has manipulative tendencies or mental abusive behavior, how does this peson feel when they lose that control and cant be empowered by the "enabler" so to speak? I am very curious. Anyone that is a psychology major, psychologist or anyone can relate from experience please comment. Thanks.

I took 10mg of Prozac 2 days in a row (4 days ago) and haven't taken it since. It was prescribed for mild general anxiety. Since taking it, I now have severe anxiety, headaches, insomnia, viscious mood swings, and depression. I was told by the pharmacy that it has an 8 day half life (meaning that in 8 days, half of the medication will have worked its way out of my system). I am upping my water intake to about 2 liters a day to try and help flush it out. The pharmacy told me that once the medication is completely out of my system (in 16 days), that I will return to normal (thank God).

Can anyone suggest anything that might help with the flushing process? These side effects are awful. Thanks.

I was just wondering whether someone while under the influence (drunk) is likely to tell to the truth, just be more honest with what they are saying... I know this person that hates to talk about certain things but when under the influence speaks out her mind like there's no tomorrow... Can these things being said be taken to be true, out of her subconscious, or can they just be random mumbling due to the alcohol... Can you guys help me here, there are some things that were said that are very important to me if they were to be true... should i take them as serious or simply desregard them as b.s. due to the alcohol? Thanks.
