Seriously- I have pain and burning in my chest and it will not go away- does anyone know of a remedy or a way that I can make the anxiety go away right now, tonight, before I explode- I don't even care if I am not able to study actually- I just want this anxiety to go away... don't tell me go to the doctor, because I can't do that until tomorrow morning. i need to know a way to make it go away tonight. I don't have any alcohol, so don't be a retard and suggest that.

my symptoms come in episodes (2 or 3 weeks) at a time.

when i'm feeling fine:
i can live up to my daily routine. i can go to work and school without worrying about anything. i eat and sleep fine. but the feeling of being fine seems to only last for a couple of weeks.

then, suddenly something takes over me:
i feel like i'm being talked about at school or work (even towards family, at times). i feel like people are plotting against me. i start watching my back because i'm paranoid and panic attacks hit me left and right. and then there're times when i just feel like i'm depressed. i feel like i'm not living up to life's expectations and i'm not happy. the feeling of worthlessness. my paranoia can get so bad to the point where i feel like people are going to slip drugs into my foods/drinks or being followed as i'm driving. but worse of all, listening to other people talk and believing that there are hidden messages (against me) in their conversation.

WHAT'S IS THIS?

She is 5'2" tall and weighed 96-99 lbs. She kept telling this psychiatrist she was depressed and felt suicidal thoughts. They hospitalized her for about 4 days and just kept upping the dose. She was shaking so bad she could not hold a spoon to eat a bowl of cereal.
I got really upset when the school called me because she was throwing up all of the time. She ended up with Strep throat and when we went to the ER because her throat was swollen so bad she couldnt swallow her own spit, the ER doctor told me to start weaning her off the Zoloft. He thought it was ridiculous. She was also on Risperdal 0.5 mg twice a day and clonidine at bedtime.
Finally, summer vacation came and I weaned her off everything. She now is fine and its been over a year.
This all happened after she broke up with a boyfriend and got really upset. She was self mutilating and was just beside herself. I think meds are over prescribed. What do you think?

Hi, my doctor just prescribed me Lexapro 10mg and just before taking it I would like perhaps, for those of you who'd taken it, to tell me how did it helped you with your depression? How did you manage the side effects? Do you think it would be best to start at 5mg? I've read several accounts of people who gained weight, how common is this? For how long did you take it and how did you wean off? Are you still on it, do you think you will need this med all your life? Just in general, how was your experience with this med? I'll thank you in advance for your responses.

You see I have a lot of issues now to deal with. My parents think I am autistic when I really have a personality disorder. I am so mad I am furious that people think I am autistic. I used to want to be autistic so I would act out symptoms until I learned how stupid it was to act out a disorder I don't have. I don't have autism!!! Also I used to see this doctor I really liked then after I got out of the hospital my Mom took me to see this other doctor and I am so upset she got replaced! :( Please help any advice or ideas!

I have this weird thing where pain(or even something like scratching) has to be symmetrical. It's like if I were to stub a toe on my left foot I would have to make the same toe on my right feel the same. I am unable to do anything else until I can get it to feel the same. It doesn't even really register that the one side hurts I only realize that the other side doesn't. I've told my parents and my dr. My dr. doesn't seem to think that it's ocd but it is obviosly an obsession. Does anybody have any ideas of what it could be or what I could do to stop it? Please help. I am seriously scared that someday I will really hurt myself and not be able to stop myself from hurting the other side.

i think one of my friends is depressed (i'll call her x). so, X is dyslexic so she has to take special classes in school, i'm not sure if this has any effect on how she feels. she feels bad a lot and seems to be going "emo"... she paints her nails black and stuff. anyway, she said that she thinks about eating disorders because that way she would die faster (this is when she's feeling bad)... she argues with her parents and then goes in her room locks the door closes the curtains, closes the lights, then cries. she said that she thinks about death alot. she says that she thinks about suicide but would never do it. she said that if she ever would she would tell me and her two other friends first. what can i do? she says that she doesn't want to tell anyone... do you have any hotlines or websites and some advice? please help... she says she's not depressed. :(

Why is it that if mental illness is suspected or recognized in an individual it is ignored?
Why bother to watch for and point out "warning signs" if the "system" can't do anything until someone gets hurt or killed?
At what point does "The System" become responsible for the mentally ill and their actions?

Thursday I had the mother of all days. I had 6 servers crash on me overnight due to a major hardware failure. I was able to recover 1 of the servers, allowing the company HR, Financial and Payroll Systems to hobble along.

During my 14 hour ordeal I discovered a few things about my role as a Server Administrator at work.

1) I had no support from my management. Just "how this happen", "why didn't you prevent it", "how much longer", "do you know what you are doing" were the questions I had deal with all day. After dealing with the situation and recovering 1 server, not even a bit of thanks or how can we help. Again, just "are you staying all night to fix the remaining servers" type of questions.

I've been pretty unhappy with my work environment in the past 6 months. Too much stress, no support, too much responsibility. This has bothered me emotionally and physically, but I forced my way though it and essentially buried it and moved on.
