I don't know what my problem is, someitmes I just get sad or mad and it seems like I can't get out of it, like I feel like i need ot be sad or mad. Whenever I try to tell it to my mom or someone to help, they're just like:" Oh, that happens ot me too, yea and blah blah blah." It drives me crazy becaus that's how my mom is, I try to discuss my problems and have her help me, but she always says that happens to her too, instead of trying ot help. I also hope that it's not the reaons and wonder if it's becaus eof this book I'm reading, i can't stop reading it, and I always want to read it, but it seems like my body or spirit drives itself crazy when all I'm doing is reading or something. I also seem to get sad when the weather's bad, but sometimes i love it, idk, i love to be around and talk to people so maybe it's almost like I get depressed when I'm not, I was also tired for some of today too, but still happy.Please help I relly need it, thanks!

"My friend is bulimic, etc." Hmph, my friends never give a crap what the heck is up with me. They would let me faint and die in the street or while driving my car. They actually help me to cover everything up. They even give me fattening stuff to eat and ignore me if I call them for help.

Not exactly your typical "popcorn and a movie" scenario, is it?

This could be due to low sugar also. But is this normal for anyone to do? Like, take 10 min to do something that takes 5 b/c you sit down and just space out?

I wonder if this is mental or physical or what the heck it is.

I had it alot as a kid. My sister did too. She still has it at 52 years old. She says her #1 requirement for allowing a man to sleep with her is recognizing the sounds she makes when it is happening and waking her up.

A good day, only a few days ago it was a good day. But now, at this moment, my mind cant even grasp the sensation of a perfectly normal, good day. Two days ago…it was the same as today. I slept but I didn’t rest…An ongoing cycle of restlessness causes my mind to be foggy, like I’m on co-pilot, not really away, but not really in control. I know I have to get back in the drivers seat, I have to whip this before it whips me… I’ve got to get my mind focused on doing something, just pick one small task to successfully carry out. I stare in the bathroom mirror, I look at the toothbrush…. I reach for the toothpaste, my eyes blurr out of vision and I see, in the refelction of the mirror, a bedroom with clothes strewn across the furniture and floor….I have to wash clothes….I sigh from deep within my chest with dissapiontment….”just BRUSh your teeth”…
My cell phone rings…I quickly reach for the mute button, as If the ringing gives me no option but to answer. I cant answer. I cant talk to them, whoever it is…probably a grandparent who hasn’t seen much of me lately. For a split second I feel guilty for neglecting them but quickly, my guily turns to anger. Im mad because I know that almost any other day, I could’ve picked up the phone, but WHY…WHY did the phone have to ring today, pulling me into another crippling mindgame?
I shuffle through the hallway listening for the sound of the baby crying…just a few minutes ago I was praying for relief form her, so I could rest, but now, as she sleeps contently in her crib, I feel alone. I know I’ll regret waking her too soon because I have got to get myself focused so I can tend to her properly. So I wait, I stand at the lving room window and look out…The skies are blue and the sun is reflecting off of the pavement, casting a glare into the window…I squint and swallow a lump in my throat. I want to cry…because I want to go outside, but I’m afraid to. It seems so big….It looks like any other day, in fact, It look slike just the other day when I was at the beach with Abby. So, why does it look “different”. My thoughts seem to stomp a mudd puddle in my mind….Im caught up in a complicated equation that cant be solved…So I just stare ….and I stare, and I close my eyes……..the darkness of my closed eyelids gives me a moment of peace…….a sorrowful peace………………………………………my mind drifts back into consciousness…..The sound of a soft cry turns my attention away from myself….Shes awake……I walk to the doorway of the bedroom and see two small hands reaching out to me for comfort…..I let go of all that consumed my mind before and I can feel God whispering to my spirit….a gentle, but firm nudge to go on…..the day has to go on…..Abby needs me….So I push a smile into my lips…..and reach to her…. ………

k, my mom hd breast cancer and I never told my friends becuz i didn't want them to either crowd around me or stay away from me. I really didn't want any special attention. And none of my friends know... except one of my very VERY close friends. Now that it is over and done with (the cancer) I need to know if I should tell them. Or would they just freak out or stare at me funny?

I was raped by my uncle when I was nine years old. I have been having horrible flashbacks/nightmares..I can't sleep at night because I feel like someone is watching me and I know when I do go to sleep I am going to have the same flashback/nightmare that I always have. I am so sick of being afraid of everything. Not a day goes by that I don't think about it, I am ready to give up and end it all, but I that is not the answer..although I am ready to try it..How can I move past this and get on with my life. I am 19 now, so it has been 10 years since it happened. I just 'remembered' that it happened about 3 years ago and I just reported it about a month ago. I never have any time to go to a therapist because of work, and I cant really afford an online therapist...any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I am suffering with PTSD which means I get a lot of flashbacks. I am having counselling for this which is helping immensely.

I don't get much sleep, but lately I feel too scared to even try to sleep. Feel like I can't breathe and it feels like something terrible is going to happen if I do go to sleep. Does anyone else feel like this or have any tips on how to overcome it please? I am so shattered.

I was just prescribed Ambien 10mg. All I keep hearing are horror stories about people taking them. Are they an okay pill to take? Does everyone who take them sleep walk, sleep eat, drive and have sex without knowing it????? I have taking them before about a year ago and had no problems like that. Will I now??? I'm a bit nervous.

I'm not sure if that's the exact spelling.. My sister was prescribed it and I'd like to know if you think it works for severe depression and also if you know how long it takes to work (days? weeks?)?? Thank you for your advice.

A sis has gone through a breakup. The guy has been especially horrible. Despite that, she has gone through many breakups before and has always taken things extremely badly. This time it seems to the be the ultimate worst. She has always drank but this time she is drinking heavily to the point of incoherent. She went to a psychiatrist last week and he put her on Remeron (for depression?) and Klonopin (for anxiety and sleep?). She has been drinking for four straight days now and freaks out when I take away the klonopin out of fear for her life. She has not taken so many to be an overdose but I fear that the combination of that and MASSIVE amounts of alcohol will kill her. She is severely depressed and crying uncontrollably. I am told that forced hospitalization could do her more harm than good due to the conditions and treatment available in some of them. I do suspect that our hospitals are pretty bad. Can anyone give me advice?

I think I might have ppd. When i'm around alot of people for example in a restaurant, store...etc. I get really anxious/nervous. Thinking that everyone at that particular place is looking at me, making fun of me, or trying to humiliate me. I focus alot on what they are talking about and think everything they say is about me!

Am I normal or paranoid?

I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKY SITUATION THAT'S GOING BEYOND CONTROL AND DRIVING ME INSANE! I'M SHAKING AND SWEATING FOR SOME REASON, HIGHLY UNCONTROLLABLY. I'M LOSING MY ABILITY TO THINK STRAIGHT AND FEAR FAILING TESTS! IT'S SO BAD THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR MY FRIENDS TO RESTRAIN ME AND TRY TO CALM ME DOWN! I THINK BEING TIED TO A CHAIR IS THE BEST WAY TO CALM ME DOWN, BUT TO ME IT WILL FEEL LIKE TORTURE! WHAT DO U THINK OF THAT IDEA? I DON'T WANT TO BE MENTALLY TESTED, I HEARD MENTAL TESTS ARE PAINFULL AND THAT THE DOCTORS WILL USE HYPODERMIC NEEDLES!
