I though I'd share this article about sleep deprivation in teens. I think it has a good message and it brought back horrible memories of my 7th grade year. It made me stressed out just reading about it! What's your opinion on the matter?

im 45, suffer from morbid obesity, diabetes, live with my parents, have a 59 year old boyfriend who still lives with his dfad due to major health problems, am 60 K in debt, have a good job but due to high interest rate on credit cards, am unable to really pay them down, am in a constant state of stress anxiety and worry, and fear for my future. I have no siblings to rely on, my parents are slowly but surely aging (mom already shows early signs of alzheimers), and all i can really think is "woe is me". Luckily, my dad is her orimary care giver, but they also have their own set of issues with money management. my future looks bleak, im scared, this is all for real, nothing has been exaggerated, and there are even other negative issues, which I cant even begin to write about or explain in any articulate way. so i send this out into the websphere and wonder, is there any hope, at all, for me? or am i doomed to live a horrid existence, with no hopes of improvement? be honest, i can take it.

Everything in my life seems to be going wrong. I've got to move out of a home I love and have nowhere to go whilst everything else that could conceivably go wrong, is.

I feel constantly sick and really down and I just cannot relax with everything that's going on. I'm trying to be strong for my girlfriend who's going through all of this with me, but frankly I'm falling apart inside.

How can I stop worrying, get on with things and feel at ease? So far I've come up with the 'get drunk into oblivion' approach, which comes with obvious consequences of course.

I need real testimonies about adult people who has ADD. I have thought carefully about that disorder lately as a consequence of my own life experience and before going to the doctor I want to know more about that. I mean I think I have ADD.

The young lady in question is 17 years old; she engages in cutting when she is stressed or upset. What is the psychological basis for this behavior (something I had only heard of in passing until the last few years)? Is there anything he or I might be able to do to help her?

I used to be so carefree, happy, social, playful, and outgoing before and now I am a recluse. I stay indoors all the time and I have built wall around me to keep my distance from my friends, family and society. Will I ever be the life loving, playful sprite that I used to be? I miss my old self so much. I'm so sad this way. Am I doomed? Will it ever get better? I feel so stuck! Thank you for your advice.

My friend is no longer suicidal. But last year when she was, she decided to take around 35 asprin. Shes only 15. The next day she told me about it and all that really happened was that she got a really bad stomach ache. No one even found out about it exept the few people she told. Not that I want her to die, I really don't. But how could her body have such a tolerence for that much asprin?

I asked a question about the meds my daughter took in a suicide attempt. It was a combination of elavil, benadryl, opiates, crack and alcohol. This was Jan. 1 She is having episodes of tremors and slurred speech every day. Her Dr. doesn't seem concerned and I'm thinking that she needs a specalist and don't know where to turn. Thank you

Ok, I'll be honest here and tell you my biggest source of stress is my job. And yes, I have been looking for another one for a few months now. Unfortunately, I am unable to take a drastic paycut, so I am not able to take the first one I find. My job makes me so stressed out that my IBS flares up, I have anxiety attacks, my chest is in a constant tightened ball, and even worse, it makes my heart skip all of the time. I can't even enjoy my days off. I tell myself that everything is ok and under control, but my body reacts differently. Anyone who has suffered from something similar knows what I am talking about. I would really love to not go on meds, so I'm seeking other ways to reduce my stress. I just feel like my life is a complete mess, and I'm so unaware of where I am heading and what I should do with it. Thanks for the feedback- serious answers only please.

Of course, we all heard of the 'Be Yourself' thingy... but then again , what if being yourself means that u r being weird?.. It's OK if ppl think u r weird in the funny kind of way.. but what if, they think u r weird in the scary kind of way? Coz i get that a lot... some of the people i meet freak out when they see me... so now i am trying hard to act normal so that i dont appear scary to ppl.. I like Gothic stuff by the way....

My almost 2 year old and a MRI when he was a year old because his doc said he had a large head, well the MRI came back abnormal and that they believe he has a metabolic disorder such as muccopolysacidoses , we went down to U of M hospital and they told me that he doesnt have hunter or hurler syndrome and the later tested him for gargole syndrome , and that came back negative.

When something makes me angry, I feel feel a sudden surge through my body. It takes me a long time for this feeling to go away. Sometimes it stays for two or three hours. I feel pressure through my body and especially in my head. After it all passes, I feel normal again. But it seems to take me much longer than necessary to calm down. I tend to be emotionally cold and avoid conversations during this time because I don't want to get into an argument or hurt anyone's feelings. But I have a hard time functioning while I feel this way. I just sort of shut down until it passes. Things that typically set it off are bad fights between my boys or controlling behavior from my husband. I think these feelings are normal, but not how long they last.

What can I do. I live overseas, and I have not been able to find a psychologist who speaks English well enough.

Any ideas on how I can come out of this state of mind more quickly?
