I know that these pills are used to treat depression but do they also treat people with anxiety? And what are some of the side effects??

online therapist kind of thing, like, a therapist who's on the internet, as you can talk to he/she withouth ever having to meet the person? I need one, I'm suicidally depressed and Im too scared to see a real life therapist.

My mom was medicated Paxil (25mg) and I undersand they make you sleepy, drowsy or w/e it is. But I just wanted to know if by just drinking one you are supposed to act like if you drank five because she acts like she's high. She walks like a drunk, and five seconds later asks where she was because she doesn't remember anything. I recently found alcohol in her room and probably that's the reason why too. Do any of you know if paxil is supposed to make you that bad?

One day I'll talk to someone and have a nice conversation going on with them. The next day I see them in the hall and they don't even look at me or say hello. Since they don't, I don't look at them or say hello either. It happens with everyone! Family and friends. What am I doing so wrong? I don't say anything offensive

For the past months I've just been feeling useless. Hopeless. Not worthy.
WHAT exactly is the point of life?? We all die anyway! You know, you could have a great life, and so what? You die. End of.
There's no damn point to this stupid, pathetic existence of mine.

I just wish this inner pain could go away cause all I do is cry everyday.
I went to the doctors and he said I was just a normal child so I'm not depressed or anything. I just don't see any point to life. I don't want to be anything when I'm older; the sooner I go the better.

Will I feel better when I'm older, do you think? If not, maybe it will drive me to do something.

How can there possibly be so many people on here with bipolar disorder? It's not THAT common, but it seems that most everyone claims to have it. What's with all of the diagnoses?

My boyfriend and I live together. We recently got some pot. I smoke minimally when I do, just to relax. He has been smoking it without me when I'm not around. I get him to admit it by joking. However, sometimes I can't tell if he is, when I ask he says no. I obviously can tell he is, but I second guess it. Don't know why he won't tell me he's smoking and let me join......after 1.5 year together, this is the first time we have been in this situation, the smoking is recent. He hasn't used anything during the time we're together that I know of, but we have spent a lot of time together. Here's the question: how can I get him to tell my WHY he's doing this? He's playing games to start by making it a secret......is this addiction or him just being a jerk?

I have a woman who has worked for me for about a year. Often she looks "doped up," her speech is sometimes slurred and her mouth is sometimes twisted. She appears lethargic nearly all of the time. She told me that she takes sleeping pills almost nightly and regularly takes Valiums and some kind of Valium-like liquid that's cheaper than the pills. I wasn't at work to see it but the other day she was sent home by HR in a cab because the night before she had taken 3 Benadryls and when she got to work she could barely function. She's a very sweet, cooperative person and I know she has a lot of problems at home single parenting a loser 19 y.o. son who causes her a lot of grief. She's also single and I don't think she dates or anything. What can I do, if anything? I'm really worried about her.

Hello, Im 19 years old, and have been have strange spells for as long as i can remember. Its very difficult to describe what is actually happening but ill try.

I will be sitting in a calm environment just keeping to myself, and I will begin to have a spell in which it seems everything around me is in fast forward, but my speed of thought is normal. But when I walk to one end of a room, a distance that might take 10 seconds, it feels like two seconds. Sounds become more defined and so does feeling. Its almost like when you see on TV a man sitting in a bench, and the world around him is flying by. Thats as close as I can describe it, except it is completely real. Please help, if you can give me any ideas as to what it might be, so that I can continue to research this "problem."

I have been suffering with some form of depression practically my whole life. I have had times where is was worse than others and times where I almost thought I was getting better. Just recently I have been having problems. These problems are nothing like I have had before. I have been very edgy and paraoid. I have been terrified that someone is going to break in our house, kill my husband, and then rape and kill me. I have had that feeling for a few weeks now and it is starting to cut into my sleep. I have had a hard time getting to sleep because of that. I have also just started a new job and for no reason at all I have felt like I am walking on egg shells fearing I will be fired. I have not been there that long and I know that they are going to give me time to get in the hang of things since I am so new but I fear getting fired. On top of that whenever people are talking and I am not involved I feel like they are talking about me and possibly plotting something against me

Hello, everyone. I'd like to speak frankly about a problem I'm having concerning an upcoming interview. Anyone that is involved with management, or the interviewing process is welcomed to please give me some ideas--as well as anyone else that may be of help. I had a bad fall in July of 2005, and spent the next 1.5 years going through physical therapy, many etc. I seriously got depressed, I was in a wheelchair for awhile? I had always been a very outgoing, secure person but I think having to be so dependent on everyone I know-I think that I really lost myself for awhile? Several months ago, I went on an interview for a job that I only barely wanted. The lady was extremely nice, and frankly, she seemed like somebody I could even be pals with. However, my nerves got so bad that I kept forgetting what I was saying and I probably sounded like a bad liar or something. I felt absolutely fake and didn't sell myself at all. Continued below:

My mom died when I was 9. The pain never went away and always stayed in my heart, no matter how much I've tried to ignore and get over the pain, it seemed to follow me over the years. Now, as a 20 yr old adult I still have "issues" about mother and daughter relationships. It hurts everytime I see a mother and daughter together and I try to do anything I can to get away from it b4 I cry. From what I've been told it's called, "motherless-daughter syndrome." My bf's aunt invited me to go to her daughter's 1st b-day tomorrow. I don't know if I can do it. I feel so out-of place at happy family gatherings. I didn't want to tell my bf how I feel because I don't think he can understand. I only cried for my mother once, and he told me to "suck it up, and get over it." (Although his mom is still alive) Ever since I kept the pain to myself. What should I do?

I stopped smoking 6 months ago and while the addiction and cravings have gone I have found it difficult to think as clearly as previously. Have realised that when I smoked I used cigarettes at times i needed to think clearly. If this is the case does this mean people with dyslexia and dyspraxia are more likely to smoke & may find it harder to stop?

Every so often, I mean once every day or two, I get a really violent mood swing when I literally go crazy, I scream and throw stuff around and self-harm, cutting and headbanging, and most of all, I don't know the reasons for them. I feel nothing during them, only blind boiling rage. I could be listening to Nightwish, all calm and relaxed, and suddenly my head is like the cuckoo's nest. Deep down inside I know someday I'm going to snap and kill someone. I'm a 16-year-old girl and have been on antidepressants for two years- please don't just say "see a counsellor" because that does nothing for me.
