Or is the chemical imbalance caused by depression? Does our brain just produce the chemical to help us feel the sad? I guess what I want to know is if you think the excess chemical actually causes you to feel sad, or if the chemical is just the medium by which our minds produce sadness. When we take medication for depression, is it similar to treating a symptom to help us fight off a disease?

What are your thoughts on the media's influence on body image? Do you think it contributes to eating disorders? Thoughtful answers please; this is for a research paper.
Thank you

Here is my deal, I have been trying to get pregnant for over 4 yrs. now, and have not been succesful. My brother and his wife tryed for 1 month and got pregnant. I am happy for them, but on the inside I'm mad as hell. How do I get over this feeling? I can't keep doing this, it's like a huge fight inside of me. On the outside I want everyone to believe I'm excited,and happy, but on the inside I'm sad, frustrated, angry, emotionally drained, and ashamed?
Please if anyone has been through any thing like this, I could use some advise.

To any compulsive liars, since this is anonymous, can u be truthful for once and tell exactly why you lie and do u regret hurting those that were closest to you. Did you get defensive when you were caught? Do you like because you are ashamed?? i am very curious, serious answers please....thanks.

i cant control how i act it is really wierd... When I am at school I am very quiet and actually people come up to me and ask me why i never talk. It feels like a stabbing pain in me to have to talk to other people except rarely with certain family members.. like, it is that hard just to talk i dont get it everyone else seems to talk to others willingly. when I meet new people I am really mean to them just so i wont have to talk to them later. When I am all alone by myself I can talk and say whatever and its fine but i wonder why i am not the way i am with myself when i am with other people. Im not self concious i dont care what other people think. Its actually hard to write something like this that gives this much inside information about myself. Im getting sick of living here. i hate school even though i have a 4.0 and got a 2140 on the sat. i thought about joining the army. I think maybe if i can just hold a gun and go fight it would be enough for my life. why am i like this?

I have always been a tense person. Now, I am in my mid 40's and having to take medication to control my high blood pressure. Is there a new attitude I can learn or new habits to help me get my blood pressure back to normal and not have to take medication for it. I am also on medication for depresion, which I think could be related to the anxiety. Any ideas?

Would you spend an hour to watch a documentary on soap or paper clips? Like...how they're made, where the idea came from, details like that. On any regular appliance. Staplers...bobby pins.....junk like that. I would, but I'm a freak. This is a random question. Would you spend an hour of your time to do so?

they thought they were bipolar and it runs in the family but now they are on a different mood swing and think they are fine. they are married and have two young children but spouse is afraid if they confront them they will walk out on marriage. what do we do to help this person and how do we go about it, we have them going to a therapist under the pretense of marriage counseling but the therapist is also concerned about the issue being brought up, so who can help this person????

I had a seizure when I was 6 (don't remember it, lost sonsciousnous), when I was 8, in the summer (I had about 10 seizures that summer, all resulting in loss of consciousness) when I was 9 or 10 (I was in my dad's car when suddenly my lips started getting numb, I started shaking, and drooling. Lost consciousness.) However, when I was 11, in a museum with my parents, my lips went numb, I started shaking, drooling, and, basically, all signs of a seizure resulting in loss of consciousness. I KNOW that seizure should have knocked me out cold, like the rest of them. However, I used all my will and resisted it! How did I do that? The physician (and everyone else) said it was impossible! I didn't tell my parents about resisting the seizure or even having the seizure; everything went on as normal, though I was shaken for several minutes after it went away. I KNOW that was a lose-consciousness seizure; I can feel it; HOW DID I RESIST IT???


I DID!!!

I AM 100% SURE I DID!!!

BUT HOW????

The day i was watching TV these people talked about how you can be infected with HIV. But seen then it changed my life. I can't have fun like i use to, my grades are decreasing in school it not getting any better, this is my last year in high school i have to work hard to graduate but it not looking that good at all. Well to make long story short. I have taking the HIV test and it came back negative i waited for about 7 month wish they called the window period so it will be accurate but that still doesn't help. I'm starting to freak out and i think that everything around me is infected with HIV. I keep focusing this thought on myself. I'm going to the therapist but it does not seem to be helping, This is really ruling my life. I want to be the kind of person that i was before. I want to have fun again, I CAN'T stand myself anymore. I think it Fear. I don't want to live like this anymore. Please help me I need a serious help... i don't want to end up hurting myself.
