I have taken seroquel for a few years, but all it does is make me sleep. It's too strong a med for just sleep, so I quit taking it (with dr's help!!) and tried roserem, ambien cr, and lunesta. Nothing works. I'm going to have to take something that is addictive, by definition. That's ok. I take valium and don't have a problem. Any advice on benzo's as sleep aid would be greatly appreciated...Restoril, Prosom, Halcion are options.

My husband (after too many beers) ends up blacking out. During that time he is like a demon...someone who is totally opposite of his normal self. He gets ANGRY and lashes out at me. This goes on until he passes out, an hour or two. In the morning he doesn't remember the things he's called me, or done during that time. I'm terrified of him when he's like that. Where does he go in his head when he's like that? What causes that to happen?

What's the point of getting up when situations keep piling up on you, beating you up, and knocking you down again? Wouldn't it be better if a person just stayed down?

My mother has always been mean to me and the family. I tried to ignore this since she rejected my offers for help or discussion and started seeing a phsycologist. The condition only became worse and now - 20 years later - it's still changing for the worse, day by day. I won't ever try listing every awful thing she's done to me, I just want her to stop making my life miserable (I suffer from depression...for years...and one of the reasons is her spiteful behavior) When I try to have a proper relationship, she secretly calls the man (no idea where she gets the phone) telling him not to meet me again or she'll call the police. When I try to get a job, she lies to the potential employer and as a result I can't get one. I have no money to move out so I can be free of her horrible repression and it's driving me crazy. I've even attempted suicide since my dreadful life is too miserable. What could I possibly do?

My seventeen year old daughter's good friend died last week. She was in a car accident and it all came as a huge shock and my daughter has been beside herself. She refuses to come out of her room, i hear her crying all night. She won't talk much....she says she's too depressed to even talk to me. She won't eat. I am very worried, I know that she is grieving, but is the much grief normal? Please help.

I think I am way too emotional. I literally cry almost everyday...when I'm happy, sad, scared, lonely, worried, frustrated, excited, I mean, alot. So I've pretty much established that I am too emotional. But does ANYBODY have ANY advise on how I can STOP being like this? It is literally driving me nuts!! (Not to mention my boyfriend who puts up with it all the time!) Any advise?

Im 18 & sr in hs, i was thinking about trying for baseball, but i don't know if it's worth it. I've had very bad luck with sports (couldn't play soccer this year cause of an injury) & went out for baseball as a soph just to be the last one cut (literally the last since the jv coach couldnt decide & kept me an extra tryout just end up cutting me). Then he said the reason was cause the Vars coach didnt think i would make it, but now that same JV coach is on varsity, & he seemed to at least think i had some talent since he kept me & was the last cut.

However, I didnt play last year or tryout, & theres a lot of politics w/ sports as you're expected to play in private summer leagues (basically the seniors are already picked). This coach said i could be a manager & do all the summer leagues, but i didnt since i was away for summer.

Is it worth being cut again just to see what might happen, or keep some dignity from these sports/politics(& not leave hs as the 1 who was cut again)?

i know it's silly, but i feel guilty for things a lot, and i never did and never will do any crime. But i often feel like things are my fault or if i dont do something about it then i should be blamed, even though i never do anything or someone else has responsibility for things, not me. What should I do to get over this stupid feeling? and is this lack of self-confidence?

My mom brought me up this way.I thinks its part the asian culture to critisize your children motivating them to do better in school and other things.This make the child want to achieve and prove themselves to their parents.Well anyway my boyfriend is fat and ugly which doesnt prevent me from loving him on the inside.I contantly remind him that he is fat ect.. and he should take care of himself but this just causes him to get angry.He feels I am doing this to poke fun which is what I am not doing because I dont do pointless things.

When I was in my 20s the world was my oyster I was overjoyed, pasiionate about life, a bit hyperactive but very happy and joyful and extremely outgoing, every day was a brand new day. I was bouncing of the walls with joy.

Now I am in my 30s and things changed I am very happy but a little more reserved, private and much more calm, and there are times where I get down and sad and I dont feel as much joy and gladness as I used to in my 20s.

Is it normal to "slow down" as you get older? What has been your expereince on this?

How as a christian do you handle feeling "off" or not feeling well.
What is a godly way to feel better. I had a rough night last night with fitfil sleep and a series of bad dreams and when I finally got to sleep I work up feeling awful with a bad stomach ache, I also feel a little sad because I moved far from my family and friends.

More than anything I wish for the joy and the gladness I had in my 20s I am now in my 30s.

Thank you in advance for your answers and May God bless you now and always.

My step mom was diagnosed with Bipolar/schizoprenia/manic depression over 20 years ago. She has recently experienced numerous "episodes" in the last two years and has been going on and off her medication. She has entered 2 different in-patient hospitals in the last two years each 4 times due to having an episode and being uncontrollable. Each time she has gone into each facility, her diagnosis has changed. After her last 72 hour hold in a facility that she has been in before, they told her that she is now psychotic.

Is it normal for a mentally ill patients' diagnosis to change like this?
Her changes have ranged from just being bipolar to being an alcoholic(i have no idea where the doctor came up w/ that one) to being depressed to having Depersonalization disorder.

Can anyone (teenager) relate to this sleeping problem?

I'm 16 and a semi-busy student in High School. My sleeping habbits have gotten rapidly this year in particular. I can never get to sleep at night and am always wanting to fall asleep in classes. I've tried everything and I can never get my sleep back to normal. I think I might have some sort of abxiety. On weekends and vacations I'm able to fall asleep fine at a decent time, but for some reason I think the thought of knowing that I have school the next day keeps me awake. I'm always thinking, "ok fall asleep...now" and glancing at the time. Why do I only have trouble sleeping during the school year on weekdays. Can I solve this problem on my own?
