I have been experiencing bad anxiety lately. I feel like I can't drive or travel because I think I will stop breathing or pass out. I used to be fine. Get on a plane or go on a road trip, no problem. I am now making excuses to why I cannot go places. I am missing appointments with clients. It is getting bad. I have had panic/anxiety for about 18 months. It just recently got worse in the past 5-6 months though. Anyone have this experience? If so, what did you do to stop these problems? Any books or programs that worked for you? Something besides meds? I don't want to miss out on anymore than I feel I already have.

*I am female
*24 years old
*California
*I don't have medical insurance at the moment

She gets mad and calls me lazy if i don't exercise, she wants me to try this diet. She is not evil and says that she doesn't care about my weight but the things she does contradict that. It gets me angry and sooo hurt I would prefer to kill myself I can't be perfect for anybody, if that's the case i will gladly welcome death. How do I cope?

Okay...so this is a little weird to ask.
I was talking with my mother the other day and somehow we got onto the topic of my childhood. I mentioned to her that I don't remember much of my childhood. She seemed surprised and asked if I remembered the "awful" things my older sister used to "do to me."

I always thought my sister and I were close when I was little. I don't know what she was talking about, though I have a memory where my sister backed me into a corner and dug her nails into my skin. She wouldn't answer when I asked her what she was talking about, and both she and my father change the topic whenever I bring it up. This is odd, because I'm close with my mom. I haven't talked to my sister.

I'm wondering if this may explain some of the darker thought processes I have had. Am I just being paranoid? How should I get my parents into telling me what this is all about?

Yeah, sounds like a stupid question, but this is serious:

According to wikipedia (not the best source, I know. But most medical articles there are pretty good), there are certain symptoms that a person with ADD has, and I have a majority of them (I think).
Do you know if there are any other good websites that can help you? Or if there are any online tests?

Any information about ADD would help. Thanks.
(Oh, and I've heard that caffeen makes people with ADD more sleepy instead of more exited. Is this true?)

This question is for people who cut themselves...please don't answer if you aren't a cutter. Thank you.

I have a friend that recently got put into an inpatient facility for cutting herself after getting upset. I know she's been through worse and hasn't cut herself in over a year until this little upset.

What I want to know is; what relief do you get from cutting? What are you thinking about prior to doing it that takes you to that level? When did you first start cutting? Did you start out with other forms of self-mutilation? (sorry, lots of questions here because I just want to understand what is going through her head when she does this) What things drive you to doing it? Do you ever do it just because? What is the catalyst? Do you believe the endorphins help alleviate emotional symptoms? Are you suicidal or do you think cutting can lead to something like that?

Can someone please tell me the dynamics behind this behavior?

Thank you.

have you ever felt like noone seems to care when you give em advice, or when you depress and your trying to tell someone how it feels, they really rather be doing something else other than talking to you? Well see I don't have hardly any good friends anymore because i either talk to much or im just down right annoying, they always say their too busy or something, and well for awhile my boyfriend tells me i get annoying and when he tells me that or when noone wants to talk to me, i always go to the corner or in my bed and lay down and tell myself that i should comitte suicide noone really cares for me anyways, and if i dont comitte im juss going to keep making the same mistake over and over and over how can i overcome all this?

Everytime you enter a room, someone looks at you and starts coughing and/or clearing their throat in an un-natural way? Is it some kind of secret message or hidden form of communication?

I have been diagnosed with bipolar depression, I now take 500 mg. of depakote in the morning with 150 mg. wellbutrin. In the evening I take 500 mg of depakote and 200 mg. of zoloft. In the last four months I've been having tremors, is that because of my medicine?

Three days ago my identical twin sister committed suicide. She shot herself in the head while in the bathtub. The bullet didn't kill her and she drowned. I have a therapist who I saw that night and will see again tomorrow but I want to talk more. I can't seem to find an online support group. Can someone direct me?

I am a recovering addict with 9 mos. clean time - looking for other supportive groups in the dallas, texas area that will help me in my recovery - mentally, as well as financially - meaning I'm going back to school, starting things over - need help with housing and stuff. I went to Nexus - they were helpful at getting clean, went to IOP and SOP for about 6 mos. Now, I still need daily support - have a hard time to get to NA meetings as I can't drive my car right now (insurance and registration out). I have bus access...but can't seem to find very many meetings on bus line.
And I am looking also for other support than just NA ......i am at that stage....i need a little one on one or smaller group than NA ...more with people where I am at.......hope some of this makes sense...thanks in advance for any help

I'm not a dude. i'm a girl. i'm 15. All my "friends" ditched me. my mom died last year. my dad died in 98. i'm living w/ my stepdad. so i have nowhere to go. he never listens to me. when i try to ask him about things like my anger, he yells at me and says it's just a phase. but my "friends" would tell me otherwise. i just don't know what to do. i was never this angry. i was always calm and conservative. i kept to myself. i didn't let things get to me. but now everything is eating away at me. i've been yelling at everyone even at school. people i don't talk to that much. i used to be quiet and never talk. i liked it that way. i play fh and run but w/ snow outside and not the right running clothes i can't run. is the other question a guy said i need to be a man. and i have no idea but it made me want to break the monitor. huiasf/ i just hate being angry. iu can't stand it. how can i make it stiop?
