I am right to assume you know what form I am talking about? I believe I cut myself around 10 times or so. Never with the idea of suicide. First out of pure curiousity, but as it progressed and became more of an indulgence in the later hours. There is an obvious darker connection that goes hand in hand with this and I won't deny that. But now, I have the constant urge to continue again. Besides of the obvious scarring, It doesn't seem like there's anything more negative than that for me. Do you think maybe it's really not all that bad?

In my abnormal psych class, we're going over phobias and anxiety disorders. Statistically, women are 3-4 times more likely to be diganosed with an axiety disorder, and 2-3 times more likely to be diagnosed with a phobia. (more men seek treatment though.. i wonder why.) This is all in america- the numbers change by country (from 6x more likely in korea to 1.3x in peuto rico, but every country that has been studied showed a higher rate in women)

Anyway, here is the question. Do you think that women are really afraid of more things then men are? Or has society deemed it unacceptable for men to admit to their fears as often as women? What do you think?

Have any of you on here been effected by a suicide close to you? Did you ever feel that you were almost ashamed and wanted to hide the true cause of death? How many times did you hear "Why did they do it?" Suicides mostly occur due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. Help usually works 80 % of the time, IF they get help. Somehow though we need to make this more comfortable for ones to step forward to get help.
I think that we as a society have always held Suicide as a tabboo & stigma topic. I think that if we as adults are unable to talk to our kids about this or be open with it, how can we expect them to feel comfortable in coming to us with there thoughts?
Between the ages of 15 - 24 Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death. This is TO HIGH!
I am going to be putting together a walk for Suicide Awareness with all proceeds going towards educating the public of this growing problem.

What are some of your ideas of how we can lower the Suicide rate?

I'm doing poorly in math. I have studied, and i think i might be doing better, but i'm afraid of getting kicked out of honors. Also, there's this girl in my school, that i really like. But i dont think she's ready for any relationships. I'm not either, but it would be nice, if she would pay me a little more attention. Also, i feel sad all the time. It's like.. i feel life is a game. It doesnt mean much anymore. I want to talk to someone, but my parents are kind of hard to talk to, becuase im scared of what they'll say. And that girl i like, i trust her a lot, but, she might.. disapprove of what i tell her. Please help me

My husband hasd a major manic episode almost exactly a year ago. Hospitalized twice within a month and had bad reactions to meds. Had since been on Lithium with good results, except that it made him feel like a slug. (Always wanting to sleep)

Recently, and with out talking to me or the doctor he quit his lithium (Was smart enough to taper off so I wouldn't notice immediately). So now he is acting agitated, easily offended, and has been spouting conspiracy theories, again...

Before you say "get him back on his meds!", I know he needs that, but refuses.

So, my question is; "Given that he is not completely at the height of his mania, and not at the point where they would admit him, but almost more than I can handle right now, he won't attend the group therapy...Would it be really wrong of my to take his keys and his bank cards and lock up his hunting gear until he gets back on his meds?"

P.S. Please don't suggest I leave him. After 15 years together, it won't happen.

Here's the situation. My boyfriend and I have both been diagnosed with severe depression. I have a perscription for Lexapro (20mg) that is covered by my college's health plan. My boyfriend is taking a semester off, so he isn't covered at the moment, and he can't afford to get his own perscription without it. The perscription I have is current, and I'd be able to get it refilled, but I'm not taking it. How dangerous would it be for him to take my perscription? There is only about a 40-50lb weight difference between the two of us, and we're both diagnosed with the same disorder. Is it safe for him to take it? His depression is too bad to wait until he's back in school and can get his own. Would there be a difference in the dosage? Thanks!

Hey.
I was writing up something on eating disorders for school.
I was wondering.....what happens if you don't eat for a week? How much weight would you loose? Can you possibly die? Will you develop an eating disorder?
If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

I was in a marriage that was extremely abusive, and after a couple of years. I fought back and I almost went to jail because, when I fought back I had lost all senses and went off the deep end and caused bodily harm that you could see. I tried leaving but had no where to go at the time (22 years ago ). I had to leave the house almost every other weekend because of this man and I had two children that I didn't want to see this. Of course after counseling and seeing that he was going to kill me if I didnt get out I left ( very damage ). I was in a conversation with a person that said she was "woman enough to fight back" and this offended me. She isn't all there and starts trouble often with thinking conversations happened abd repeating what she thinks took place. I think this is no friend at all or she plain ignorant and has never been in this situation. Unless you have ever been ther you don't know what your gong to do. I left because of my childrens well being. I still haveissues.
