In the long run, are they psychologically harmful? I've been on Klonopin for 10+ yrs, of course my tolerance for them has shot through the roof so I have to take more and more and sometimes they don't work at all. My anxiety, however, has not diminshed one bit. I've always heard that the antidepressants I am on are "supposed to help with anxiety" - that bull. Any thoughts?

my boyfriend works so late, and I work so early, the only time I ever get to see him is when he gets home from work at like 12 but I have to go to work at 7. i only get like 4 or 5 hours of sleep everynight. My bf is going away this weekend, I gotta be at work at 5 tomorrow, and he wanna go out tonight, the only way i can spend time with him before he leaves is if I go with him but then I have to pull an all nighter. Im only gonna get like 4 hours of sleep for today and tomorrow. Is that dangerous?

I used to years ago. I dreaded getting the mail so I'd let it go two weeks before I would get it. Now I get it every day.

I think at that time I was super dooper anxious about bills because we didn't have the $$$ to pay them (still don't...) but I am now not as anxious about it like I used to.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I don't even know where to start. I don't want to go to an herb shop either. I am willing to invest in a certified alternative health care practitioner. I need the right dosage and the right product for my panic and anxiety...I do not want to order from the internet!

I walked into a shop today & there were about 10 other people in it, this caused a panic attack. I'm also nervous around groups of people e.g. weddings, pubs etc, so I dont go out that much. I also get really depressed for absolutely no reason in particular i.e. one day im ok, the next i feel angry & unhappy. I cant explain it, can anyone offer me some advice? Genuine answers ONLY please.

I have been having these thoughts for a very long time. I will sometimes look down stairs and think how nice it would be to just fall down, or to shoot myself at school to be remmebered for something or to hang myself and well the thoughts or sort of random and all over the place.

I have never actually told anyone about these thoughts and I have been recieving therapy for depression and anxiety for several months. I'm not telling my doctor or therapist about it because I fear they would contact my parents.

I'm extremly anxious about my parents finding out about my depression, anxiety or any of my problems. I'm really just anxious around them (and just about everyone else) for pretty much everything. I've had a panic attack because I had to ask for a ride early in the morning and I just couldn't manage to ask.

I started taking zoloft a few weeks ago and it really hasn't changed anything besides making me more anxious about everything and concerned about problems that I would...

It's weird because it's like this dream is following my real life in this one. In real life, I had my guyfriend ask my crush if he likes me. In the dream, he tells me he likes me and was crying when he had to change seats away from me(he really did have to change seats in real life). Suddenly, my dream skips ahead to my house. His family comes over. I recognize my crush looks totally different...he looks like a guy I dislike in real life. I ask his mom if that's really him and she said yes. I lose total interest in him when he's there. Plus, he's smoking on my porch(hate smoking). I see his grandma and guess what? It's our teacher we have in Spanish class...in the dream and in real life. She says "he always used to bother you in class". My dream ended.

My second dream is when I think my dad died but his eyes are twitching. My mom says he died. My aunt comes and shows me where my uncle and her had reserved spots at restuarants..really random. Read Additional Details for more.

How can someone with such disorder suffer?

Can we really consider it as a mental illness?

My grandmother (81 years old) has been staying with us for the past few months, and she's been a pretty tolerable person until recently, she's a sweet old lady... but lately she's been acting incredibly rude.. and acting very strangely.

My father has caught her going into my room an going through my things (my medicine, my clothes, my personal items..etc)

She keeps insulting my father, and accusing him of not doing things correctly.

She's constantly forgetting my name, and my stepmother's name.

She's starting to make up lies about me and tell stories, she's saying I leave the house and I leave all the televisions on and I forget to turn off lights.. I work late, and my father started believing her, until recently when the lies got stranger and stranger and it became more obvious that she was telling stories.

This morning though, she started screaming at the top of her lungs at my father and my stepmother. Why? The dog was asleep in my father's room, my grandma normally gets up around 3am and takes the dog out.. the dog was asleep in the room and she couldn't get to her to take her out. She accused me and my father of not taking care of the dog because when he got up, he didn't take the dog out right away. (Last night I was very ill and my blood pressure was dangerously low, so the first thing he did when I got up was check my blood presure and heart rate, if it got any lower.. he was going to take me to the ER.) Then she started yelling at me saying that I don't take the dog outside to go to the bathroom enough. Then she started complaining that all I ever do is sleep, and it was all my fault etc. Then she said she hoped the dog died soon.

Now, she seems fine.. she's laughing and smiling again and watching television.

Do you think she might be going senile? I'm kind of worried about her...

My Mom is bipolar, hyperactive, and has OCD. She's just been admitted into an institution for her erractic behavior and could be there for three to six months. What do I get her for a Mother's Day gift that won't set off another episode of depression, anxiety, or continual handwashings? I was thinking about clothes as her weight goes up and down, up and down. She also likes jewelry, but I don't know what she is and isn't allowed to have. Serious answers only please!!

If yes then can he or she sleepwalk in the morning about an and half hour prior to waking up. or example, if i sleep at 2 am and get up at 9.30 am daily. for example, if i wake up at 8.00am to switch off the alarm and then fall back to sleep. Then i wake up at 9.30, can i sleepwalk between the period of 8 am to 9.30 am?
