i have started anti d's after finally seeking help for years of torment of depression/anxiety, being lost in an unreal world.

should i be open with people about it or will people judge you?

have u peeps out there in this position? told only a select few people? or tell everyone or no one?

cause when i meet with friends in the future i wont be drinking if i on meds (they think it will be bit strange) cause i wa a heavy boozer in the past, 4 obvious reasons! should i be upfront or jus say i on a health and fitness mission from now on and decided to give up the grog cause i know it bad for ya

please advise/share ya experiences?

My boyfriend has been on anti-depressants for long before we started going out. He has had some major problems in the past, which caused him to develop depression. A few weeks ago he stopped taking them and has since been unable to feel any emotion, because his body is not used to producing the chemicals that the drugs have been producing for him. He's been coming across as disinterested in me, though he swears he still is. I believe him and am trying to support him, but I am feeling a little shut out. We haven't been together for very long, though I've known him for some time. How long should I expect this to last? Is there anything I can do at all to help him??

It seems that you only hear about cases of autistic boys and not girls- are girls ever born with autism?

I get up each morning about 7:45 am and get dressed for work as well as getting my 3 year old ready for school. I'm at work by 9pm and home by like 6:30, 7pm each night. I make dinner, give the kids a bath, and by then, I'm exausted. I feel so tired! I go to bed by 10pm each night. That's like 9 hours of sleep each night and I still wake up tired! I'm anemic and am supposed to be taking iron pills, but don't because I mainly forget them. Am I getting too much sleep or is my lack of iron wearing me down?? Any suggestions and opinions are always appreciated!

Well, I guess I have ADD and social anxiety from all these tests I took online. I hate to admit that, but when tons of people tell me that I do and these tests tell me that I am off the charts. Well, I guess I need to see a doctor. But I am mainly going to the doc because of panic attacks where i turn red and tingle all over my body, I start sweating, shaking and cant even speak. It mainly happens when I need to meet someone, talk to someone, call someone, introduce myself, or communicate, or participate with a group. Probably because I know I wont be able to pay attention to what we are doing or talking about. So I kick start my brain to focus and then the panic attach starts. Its super embarassing and I've had it my entire life, as far back as I can remember, Ive always done the same thing, even with attempt after attempt in college and work, but its a constant failure.. And Im sick of it.. Anywho, so im going in tomorrow. Anyone have any suggestions or experience on this?

I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacs most of adult life.
I am quite sure anyone with this diagnosis know how hard, difficult and "life limiting" this condition is.

I just want to know other peoples experiences on how to make other people (partner and family especially!) understand your condition and what you are going through. I get so much of the "calm down", "relax" and "it can not possible be that bad" , "just think positive" attitude.
I feel it`s very hard to talk to other people about this and it`s difficult to make them understand how much it effects my life.

I am personally against taking xanex, zoloft (if that's even an antidepressant) or any other prescription medication for depression. (Family history of dependance on such pills) I always try to take the herbal route with medications, so I am curious if anyone knows of any such herbal alternatives, and if so, the side effects to expect? I need something that will be especially helpful during PMS, but also help me when I don't have PMS, as I am prone to bouts of depression at various times, but it is especially intense during PMS. I don't have medical insurance at the moment, so seeing a doctor is out of the question. Please help. I am getting to be where I am scared of PMS because of how my mind works.

Why won't a stranger not support me in the suicide of myself but my mom will? Is it WRONG to want to be dead? Why do people act like they care when you can tell they really don't? Is there something wrong with ME? Someone please help me.

my insane neighbor came over last night. she pretty much blew my mind. i've known her for maybe 3 weeks and she has already completely opened up to me. i know EVERYTHING about this girl. extremely depressed, suicidal and bulemic just to name a few. so anyways, she starts telling me that she just wants to 'feel good, be loved, be wanted, be held" etc. (her fiance commited suicide 5 mo ago) so she straddles me and starts balling while making out with me. i keep myself from doing anything.. i just kinda hold her.. to comfort her. well next thing i know she is seriously asking me to have sex with her.. to make her 'feel good'. again, i stop myself, reminding her of her state and how its never a good idea to have drunk sex. anyways, long story short, i let her spend the night (nothing happens of course) but she persists on us hooking up.. over and over. soberly, whatever. would hooking up make her even more insane? could it help her get over her dead fiance? thoughts?
