I have heard everything from syphillus(if that's even possible) to a brain tumor or condition to an obsession.Is there any official answer?I think it was a brain condition...the same thing his father was said to die from...especially with all the headaches he had.I think there was some sort of deterioration in his brain.His later works sounded like the work of a madman on some parts.

I have a huge problem. Since my baby was born, two years ago, I developed a fear of germs because I was afraid he'd get sick. My fear grew and grew and it's out of control. I feel like even going to the store and touching a product will give me some fatal disease and that I will pass it on to my baby. I can't go grocery shopping, I have to be careful I don't step on anything that looks disgusting when I get out of my house, I can't shake hands, I can't even take my son to the park. I am living in hell and the wort part is that I am not allowing my son to be a normal child and it's definetely affecting my marriage as well. I fear going to a doctor because I feel embarrased and I don't want to be on meds forever. I know my thought are ridiculous and that I am making myself misearable but I don't know what to do without having everyone look at my like if I am crazy. Can anyone give me helpful advice?

i have been in the mental hospital before and usually end up in four point restraints. i recognize that sometimes this is necessary for safety, but i really HATE it and i'm scared it will happen again. can't handle it. does anyone know if there are any hospitals or facilities where they use alternatives that won't freak me out so much, such as padded rooms or something else? i think even a straitjacket wouldn't be that bad.......i am in MA by the way

mine was when I graduated from junior high. I'd fallen in love with this guy in my class, highly intelligent, charming, goofy, a bit of a clutz, good looking, fantastic sense of humor, athletic, a bit shy, kindest person ever.. just... he had everything.

And I was the most shy person on the planet back then, so naturally I had trouble speaking to him and instead watched him from afar (we sent each other e-mails pretty frequently though...)

Then the day of graduation came, and I knew I would never see him again, if I didn't do anything, say anything. I had promised myself I would talk to him, or at least hug him goodbye. But I chickened out.

The moment I walked out of school my tears started falling. I cried the whole car-ride home, and then I threw myself on my bed... I was inconsolable. I couldn't stand myself and I didn't know what to do. I ended up running out in the night, just running as fast as I could, when I finally stopped I sceamed at the top of my lungs.

Tell me yours?

For about the past month i have been feeling depressed and that no body cares about it and whatever. But just this past week i have been very stressed over school and having thoughts about suicide. Not actually doing but what it would be like and what would happen everybody else if i do so.Like the other day i was driving home and stressing out about all my homework and i thought to myself if i just drove off the road i might have to deal with this anymore. Am i suicidal? or am i just overly stressed and that is causing my depression and suicide thoughts?

My husband is being very supportive, but my family and friends who I have told are being critical of my doctors choice to give me medication (which I think is going to help). I have not been able to control my moods and the other effects of bipolar and I am glad I am finally going to have help. Despite how I have tried to explain my reasons for getting medical help, they do not seem supportive. They try to tell me that I am fine, but I have never felt "fine." After years of being told it is only anxiety or depression, (I am normally happy, not sad) I have finally found a doctor that has done a very thorough examination of how I feel mentally and physically and I trust his medical opinion. How do I get them to stop criticizing my decision?

i dont even remember when it started but i remember that i was always wanting to be alone and stay away from my friends, i didnt want to talk to anyone - i never talked to my family (which i still dont), i'd cut school nearly everyday and i had to always pretend i was fine and happy. id refuse to go to those social outings because of my low self-esteem.i was afraid people would see me and judge me and just hate me and not want to talk to me.id always cry myself to sleep,id cut myself,take massive amounts of pain killers, ive had suicidal thoughts many times. sometimes id feel sad for no reason whatsoever, and the weird thing is i never knew why i was doing all of this. it was even harder because i refused to talk to anyone about it.every one says, the best thing is to talk to someone about it.But my problem is, i just cant. ive had paranoic thoughts in my head that told me everyone around me thought i was a freak and didnt want to talk to me, even my best friend.
whats wrong with me??

I don't want to be depressed anymore! I want something to offer others. I missed out on my "high school life... and college years.." I've become anti-social and can't get the right people in my life. I've back in college (no clubs), recreation groups, books, meds... I feel so left out!

Do you think putting a lot of bricks (or something else heavy) in a coat and getting really drunk and jumping into Lake Norman is the best and most surefire way to die?

(Relatively speaking of course, and PLEASE no lectures on suicide hotlines)

I am living with someone who is bipolar and wont take his medication. He is also diabetic and he wont take anything for that either. He often talks of suicide. Keeps a rope in the car in case he wants to kill himself if I should throw him out.

Its up and down. I cry daily. Sometimes two or three times a day. But I stay in the relationship because he is the father of my son, and I would feel like a total and complete failure if my second child came from a broken home as well.

He says he isnt takign any meds because they are too expensive. He does go to counselling. But still I have no clue what else to do here. Its become unbearable at times.

What can I do? I have though about calling family services on him. Because he is a danger to our children when he is cycling.

Advice please.

My brother passed away three years ago from Hodgkins Disease. He was the most wonderful brother and person I ever have known. I am trying to find a good way to keep his memory alive so I can tell my three little girls(two of which never knew him) without scaring them and making them think about death.
