I just posted a question in the gay section... Where I said that I was feeling like breaking up with my boyfriend. I feel it's because my depression. I feel my depression is geting the best of me and the relationship. I have tried taking meds for my depression but I kinda think that the meds were frustrating me more that helping so I stopped taking them but I don't know what else to do. I have taken wellbutrin, Prozac, Lexapro, and Lorazpan for anxiety but nothings worked.

and I'm still not over it. I cry a lot still when I think about her. We were very close and she was 52 and I was 21 when she died. It still doesnt feel real, I still imagine going round to her house to see her, and it breaks my heart when I think about not getting a cuddle from her, or being able to phone her when I need some advice. I hate feeling so low about this all the time. I do think of all the positive and funny things about her and her life, but that just makes me worse because I know that she will never be able to experience any of these things again. In short Im not coping too well. Will I ever get over the loss my my mum?

-Constant feeling of pressure in my head
-Harder to think/concentrate, speech is a bit awkward
-Vision is a bit blurry at times, eyes feel strained
-Palpitations
-Occasional chest pain
-Get uncomfortable very easily
-Irritable, especially at night
-Feel very "off" around people, even just sitting near them
-Very anxious, difficulty making eye contact
-Unable to get into things I used to, like music
-Apathy
-Feel very "cut off"
-Don't feel like my usual self, feel like I'm losing my mind at times
-Can sleep, but only stay asleep for 4-5 hours tops
-Feel disconnected from my own body. For example, when I look into the mirror, I don't recognize what I see as my own body. Same way when I look down at my hands
-In general my life seems very fake and dreamlike

This has all been going on for 5 weeks, and it has not gotten any better. In fact, some symptoms have gotten a bit worse.

Any ideas on what this might be?

I am 19 years old and I just had my first little girl on 1-1-07, I am currently suffering from postpartum depression. at 14 years old I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, opositional defiance disorder, and depression. Since I was 14 I was using drugs (various drugs) I believe this was caused by my depression and bipolar disorder. I have now been clean since June 25,05. But I have been going through a lot of hard times with being a new mom. I love my daughter so much she lights up my life she is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I do everything for her but as much time as I put into her I feel like I have NO time for myself so I'm a mess I barely take care of myself I feel like I have no energy I almost feel like im in a black hole and I feel so guilty because I am so blessed to have this beautiful little girl. I need to know everyone's oppinion that has ever dealt with bipolar disorder and depression on what is the best medications (mood stabilizers, anti psychotics, and anti depressants) to help me. I have already scheduled councelling because I know that will greately help my problem but I keep getting different crazy oppinions from doctors telling me take this take that and just give me things to deal with one problem NOT BOTH when that is what I need cause I know I need to be on a combination of two or more medications. SOME ONE HELP!! Thanx yall : )

All I want is to be sane
You took everything
without a single care
I use to cry myself
to sleep
Wondering what I did
to deserve this
but as the days went by
I grew cold and numb
lost the ablility to cry
Hate and Pain
spreading through every
vein in my body
Controlling
my every move
my every thought
my every breath
I`m practically dead
just a walking corpse

I took provera medication for 10 days for my frequent perionds. I really had bad side effects. I couldn't eat, sleep, anxiety, irrational thoughts, even scared of the devil. I am a very religious person. I prayed all the time to over come it. Then I went to the doc again and told them about my side effects of provera. They gave me Zoloft and Xanax. Now I am depressed, Still have irrational thoughts, not in the mood to do anything, irritable, agitated, disliking people. I am getting married soon to a wonderful man but sometimes I don't feel like seeing him and dislike him too. But I love him to death. I will give him my life. When I talk to him on the phone I am very loving towards him. I was never depressed or had anxiety in the past. It all started 2 weeks ago after taking provera. My fience is very patient & he sensed that I was sad. He told me all he wants from me is to get better. Is it a sin to have irrational thoughts? Mom said no. But why do I feel sad & guilty?

do you get images of your body harmed? Like last night I couldnt sleep because I kept seeing images of my body dead on the pavement. Years ago I had images of knives stabbed through my wrist or thousands of cuts covering my body. I dont know how to stop the images but they are about as strong as the voices are to harm myself. I returned home from the hospital yesterday for psych and so far I have been running around staying busy so the voice cant take over like it did before I went in the hospital. Anyone experience this what can I do?

I have a question about BPD. I am 100% sure my ex has it. All the symptoms are there. Well things have been very rocky with us and finally it has gotten to the point she says she dislikes me and doesn't want anything to do with me. Three weeks have past since we last talked. When things were good we had a great time, yet she started acting really crazy and shady. My question is, will she eventually get back in contact with me? Can things smooth out between us? Will she be back on talking terms with me? In our last conversation, I left the door open and said I'm here if she needs me.

my exboyfriend of 2 years was very very depressed, he was put on antidpressants and now feels like there's this great big world out there..i feel that there is a good chance he is bipolar and was misdiagnosed as just being depressed...my dad is bipolar and he and my ex have very similar personality qualities and i have also heard that when misdiagnosed for depression, upon taking antidepressants it can switch you from depression to you're manic state if you are bipolar... before my ex and i broke up he tried convincing me that i was depressed..when really, i'm not at all..i've seen a physciatrist b/c of a court order from my parents divorce and they have told me i have no mental illnesses and that i am a very happy person..which i am, very much so...why would my ex try to tell me otherwise?

When I want to dream about something specifically, I think about it alot right before I go to bed. But I never happen to really dream about it. Is it true that if you think about someting right before you go to sleep, you never actually dream about it? And is there any way to control your dreams, meaning control what you dream about?

I love to dream. I love to wake up in the morning still remembering my dreams, beause they can sometimes just be very realistic, and it's really neat how your brain works and dreams when you're asleep, and what you think about unconsiously. But every time I dream, my alarm clock wakes me up in the middle of it in the morning, and I can't "finish" my dream, or dream the rest of it. My brain just goes back to its random thoughts. I'm just curious about the whole cycle of the brain at night, and what triggers your brain to dream things like it does. Can anyone just give me a little info about any of that?
