Staying up all night watching someone sleep, because you're afraid they might die,
and even if you want to, you can't get yourself to go to sleep?

If a person spends a lot of time around another going through a bout of depression, catch it much like someone catches a cold or flu and have the same symptions?

Ok. I think I have serious issues. I had an eating disorder (bulimia) for 5 years, a pretty severe case of it, and I am just now over that...the behavior parts anyway. I still think the same way. ANyway, I'm back i college. But I feel so lost. I live alone, haven't met people yet, have a bf who holds me back (because I let him). It's like I purposely like holding myself back because the pressure of who I could be and actually enjoying my life is too much for me. I used to be an ultra perfectionist and didn't make that many friends or figure out who I was before my ED. I have 2 parents who are a bit different..neither was a very strong example of going out and getting your dreams accomplished. But today for example..I'm just getting over a cold...I slept from 2am-5:30pm...and totally missed my classes. It's not like I just decided not to go...I overslept by 8 hours!!! Didn't hear my alarms or anything! Am I just avoiding my life? I am going to call a therapist...but any suggestions?

I have trouble remembering the words I want to use. This has been going on for a few years, but seems to be getting worse. I was just trying to offer somebody some soup - and I couldn't remember the word "minestrone" to tell them what kind it was. The other day - a child was telling me that they were going to do a biopsy on a dead body. I told them that biopsy wasn't the right word for it - but I couldn't think of the right word. I couldn't think of autopsy. I KNOW these words - and have used them often

This happens daily. Sometimes it's more than a few times a day. I'm only 50. What's going on?

tend to worry every time...especially when I meet new people...for how they will accept me...what opinion they have for me, if they know me from somewhere. I tend to worry every time I need to finish some task and get panicked.

I try to calm myself...I have results for half day...and then all the effort that I made to calm down...I bring it again and I get more panicked.

i can't seem to understand the difference between paranoia and delusion.

my mom thought my grandpa was raping me. they said she was "delusional"...wouldnt that make her just paranoid? did she hallucinate this happening or something? what gave her that idea? did it just randomly pop in her head or something?

she thinks this one lady got into a fist fight with her but she never did, clearly thats a delusion but..how did she get that idea?

My mom said it wouldnt be good for me, but i think it would, she offered to take me to a doctor because she doesnt know how to help me

I have lived the past month in depression..I have to stop it.. Im toying with the idea of shaving my head (never did it before) in the hopes that it will inspire me to sort of restart life (from the roots).. I have a feeling that shaving my head could inspire me a bit.. and since Im a guy.. it wouldnt be that bad... but it still freaks me out.... Did anyone try it?? did it work? or did it make matters worse??
I dont have the best hair anyway.. its dry and frizzy... could it help my hair too... ?
I`d really appreciate advice, tips, links.. anything...

There are very few options for the severely mentally ill. Therefore most of them are homeless or in prison. It seems the government and insurance companies see these persons as a "drain" on our society....so they offer little or nothing to help them. What happens to persons with mental disorders in other countries?

When I sleep alone I have to have a light on or I can't go to sleep. When it is dark I see figures of things and the shadows scare me. I am a very normal person but when I talk to anyone about it they just think I am joking or something. My grandma used to stand at my door when I was younger and tell me to go to sleep or she would come scare me. She died.

I'm 14, but my family has no history of mental disorders. But lately, I've been feeling something is wrong. One minute I'll be all giddy, and hyper, and happy, and then the next I'll be all angry for no reason. I'll yell at people then feel guilty about it later.And then all someone has to do is say one word, and I'll get upset for no reason. This isn't really normal for me and it's been going on for over a month. I'm not sure if it's something to worry about, or if I ignore it if it will go away.. Is it just stress, or is it something more serious? I have been reading others' questions about this, and I present a lot of other symptoms.
I'm not sure if I should wait, or tell someone like a counseler in school or a parent, or what.
Any suggestions/help?

Why is it that we often times, love and enjoy helpinh others that we forget to help and pamper ourselves? Why is it so easy to make others happy, but can't pinpoint what makes us happy, why do we we feel we need to please a man, and we can't even please ourselves, you have to asnwer all the questions lol,

Please don't rude I am just getting into your heads.
