They have many of the same symptoms, so I really don't know which one I have. I feel that if I was taking classes that weren't so hard, I would be happier, but as of now i'm feeling a little hopeless and frankly, depressed. thoughts?

Well I think it's anxiety I got, I'm afraid my heart is going to stop for no reason even though it is perfectly fine. Then I start getting crazy thoughts and thinking about what happens after you die. Should I see a conselor? I've already been to a doctor.

I'd prefer to hear from people who've been on them at some point or who knows someone who's been on them. Are there side effects? How do you know if you need them?

I know I already posted a question like this, but no one was responding..I am getting desperate.please help...please read it all..I know it is a little long, but please..

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!

Don't get me wrong. I recognize mental illnesses as legitimate illnesses that can devastate people's lives. I know--my father is schizophrenic and my mother is bipolar. However, I am seeing more and more in the youth culture that depression is becoming "the thing." Or things like Borderline Personality. Life is hard, but I think often people yield to their worst instincts (especially my generation, due to narcissism) and start feeling sorry for themselves, or thinking about all that's wrong in their lives. I'm sick about hearing teenagers talk about self-injury and drug-addiction. These are things that at some point, you choose. They take you over, but you have that point where you CHOOSE. And therefore, I think granting psychiatric disability should be a more stringent process, or even diagnosing anything as a mental illness. I think most people would just benefit from realizing that life is life, helping the less fortunate, etc. What do you think, esp. in regards to teenagers?

I just started .25mg xanax "as needed" for "stomach troubles" when I have to leave the house. I only take it when I have to go somewhere. I never take medication except the occasional Excedrin for headaches, and I was wondering should I take the xanax at least 1x a day to get it in my system or just when I have to go somewhere?
*I know it can be habit forming, I have friends and family that have been/are addicted.

Alright so whats up with everybody being on antidepressants now? I mean even kids in my french class (around 14 years old) are taking them! I dont think they antidepressants 50 years ago, so since then did almost everybody's nerve/brain cells just all of the sudden get problems transmitting serotonin correctly?

I've been depressed for years now. But recently, my friends/teachers found out that I feel this way, and found out that I cut myself regularly. Then my teachers told me to talk to my counsoler, and he told me to see a social worker at the hospital. I really didn't want to even talk to anyone about my problems, so I just went along with it, and hoped that they won't bug me ever again. Well after a week or so, the social worker FORCED me to see a psychiatrist. I agreed - hoping that this is the FINAL time they'll bug me. Ever since that, I've been cutting myself more, and my mood is all over the place. One day I might be really happy, and other days I might be really down. But weither is a happy days or sad day, I end up cutting myself. So, I know I can't stop myself from cutting, but is there anything I can do to stop these mood swings or something?

In today's society, it seems that we are bombarded with a ton of information in a short amount of time, which is fine for adults with developed brains. If you were to watch television or movies, they cut away to different scenes quite often and skip through months and years in a short time span. If parents tend to plop their small children in front of a television, these children are bombarded with many different images (cut scenes, etc.) in a short time span. If they get used to their focus constantly being shifted during these shows, then for them, does that become the norm? Then you put them in a classroom where they have to focus on one subject at a time, and a classroom that does not change, but remains the same, unlike how they had to process these shows that they were watching, hence boredom and a lack of focus. I know that there are other causes as well, but I was wondering if anybody had any links regarding studies done on a link between television and ADHD.

2007-03-28 15:19:12 · 11 answers · asked by Soa's Fate~ 5

Alot of times I feel disconnected from everyone, and sort of like I'm floating around in a skin body bag,none of the nerves connecting. I cut myself, esp. when I am angry or stressed or when I just feel nothing. Alot of times I just want to die. Or I want to just slice open a vein, not in a suicidal way...but in a curious way.
I feel like I CAN'T talk about it with people. I don't want to make them uncomfortable or disrupt their lives. I have this big thing about not wanting to bug people or make them worried about me. I don't want to go to therapy because I think of this as my problem and it doesn't matter if their paid to do it, I still don't want to bug them. I want to push my boyfriend away because I don't want to put added stress on him and I feel like I should have to deal with this alone. I also feel like I just want to crawl into bed and ignore everyone and just float around in my skin.
I think I sound prettycrazy, in fact I think I am. I'm just not sure how. Whatshould I do?
