available for people with them? can people recover and achieve the life they want with a severe personality disorders? can any treatment be successful? or are they untreatable. i need to feel like theres hope for me, because ive been given the diagnosis of personality disorder, but i worry to that i display symptoms of a mental illness thats not being diagnosed. constant emptiness, bleak low moods, dispair, racing disorganised thoughts constantly, obsessive worries and ideas, paranoia that people are plotting against me. ive socially isolated myself and havent gone out for weeks, its not i dont want to go out but feel as though i cant. because when i do go out, i feel detachment, feel pparanoia like everybodys watching me, and struggle to control feelings of inner rage. which i feels comes from bullying throughout secondary school, and repressed anger, and a combination of the way my life is now...no job.never worked. im 29. never had friends or a girlfriend. feel lonely .isolated

Over the past year, my Mom has been experiencing symptoms of state two dementia. One of the oddest symptoms I've noticed is a kind of generalized anxiety that takes place at night, when it's time for her to go to sleep. She'll announce around 9 p.m., "I'm going to bed," and then she does everything BUT go to bed! She does dishes I've already done, feeds the cats I've already fed, fidgets with papers she's already looked at, mutters to herself, shuffles around the kitchen, brushes her teeth...does everything except go to bed. Is this normal behavior for someone with stage two dementia? She seems fine...until it's bed time. Then she becomes a nervous Nelly. Why? At first, she was anxious about sleeping in the bed she'd shared with Dad after he died. But that was two years ago, and she has a completely new bed now, and once she's asleep, she sleeps like a stone!

I have always suspected I may be bipolar but I have never did seek medical help. For about one and a half years, I have always been drifting in and out of intensely depressive moods. And for no reason I will be suddenly full of energy and there is no stopping myself from doing a 10Km run or 5K swim. Or I would suddenly become very vocal in class, while at other times I cannot even bring myself to say anything. Yesterday I just woke up from another short bout of depression.

I think maybe it is just part of my personality? I don't feel a need to seek medical help anymore. I nearly did 8 months ago during a very deep bout of depression. I actually think being like this is the real me and makes my life interesting?

Is it wrong to think this way?

Now that I'm starting to feel less depressed I'm getting a lot of anxiety and its impossible for me to want to feel better. Should I reduce my antidepressants a bit so I can give myself more time to get used to feeling better? Its just not normal for me to feel better and its freaking me out! I don't know if I can handle getting better this fast anymore.

If you were in need of help… let say from trouble, medical illness, or other crisis… do you think your ex would help you? Just a thought.

Zoloft isnt helping, Paxil turned me manic, wellbutrin gave me a seizure...I would like tosuggest something to my doctor and was hoping someone has some feedback on how a specific medicine helped them. I have a fear of failure and disappointment that I think is the cause of the lack of motivation at least. The only thing that helped was klonopin. But it is addictive and hard to get a prescription. Any feedback?

I am 34 years old and I still struggle with the guilt of something I did when I was 14. I won't go into any details because it's not something I care to share in this forum.

At the time, I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I didn't really grasp how wrong it was. I started feeling serious guilt about it within a year or two and at times it was so overpowering I would almost stand up in the middle of crowds and yell what I had done.

As the years have gone on, the intensity of the guilt has diminished, but it's still with me on an almost daily basis. It's always just at the edge of my consciousness waiting capture to my attention at the slightest reminder.

I have never repeated what I did back then and I know I am a different person now. However, I feel this has affected my self esteem and self image as an adult. I'm not looking for forgiveness or to forget about it, but I would like to find a way to put it behind me so I can really move forward with my life.

I have to put up with bad memories daily. They come in my mind for no apparent reason, and immediately, my thoughts turn to violent retaliation fantasies for what was done to me, and I have the same feelings of helplessness and lack of control as when things happened. Most of the time, the slights were insignificant, but the amount of rage behind them are tremendous.

I've tried therapy, self-help, and meds. I'm even trying propranolol therapy, which is experimental, but even that doesn't help. A lot of times, my thoughts are stuck on wondering when God will ever love me enough to heal me of these thoughts. I beg, plead, pray, etc., and nothing. I'd give almost anything for a life totally devoid of these thoughts. I've tried everything I can think of to stop them. I even tried slapping myself everytime I had these thoughts. All that did was cause bruises. Life isn't worth living as long as these thoughts harass me and take over my life.

The stress of school, friends, and sports are starting to take their toll on me. I have been getting more and more depressed lately. I try to talk to my friends who have been down this road, but they can't be there for me 24/7. When i am alone, i get to thinking how i am going to be a failure in life and no one will ever love me. I know i shouldn't be defined by a guy, but when i had my first "relationship" (or as close as you can come at my age) i felt so secure. But when it ended i was devastated. I don't miss the guy so much as i miss the feeling of comfort.

My depression has gotten so bad that when i cross a bridge on my way home from school, i think of flinging myself off or throwing myself infront of a car. It makes me want to cry when i think of how badly this has ruined my life. I want to cut, and the temptation is getting too strong for me to fight it anymore.

I am 14, and depression does not run in my family.

If you were a social worker with one million dollars to open a rehab. center for teens or young adults who never got to deal with past abuse, what would it have and how would you run it? Would you charge their parents, would it be free and confidential, let me know!

I have a friend who does this. Like, she ignores her body's needs. She never drinks water, or anything at all.. and barely eats. She doesn't have obsession with weight though. Is this a form of self-injury? I want to look it up so I know how to help her.

My man has gone to see the therapy for one year. He just talks to the therapy about things. I don't understand why??? Why do people continue to go to see the therapy? Do you think that he has a lot of problems. I am afraid to ask him. One more question,what does mental therapy mean? Thank you.
