my mom had a brain aneurysm about 13 yrs ago. it changed her personality. she is mostly negative... about 1 yr ago my parents divorced. my mom lives w/ me and my family. i can not handle the negative attitude or the feel sorry for herself situation or her extreme lack of patience. i have my own children and need to focus on them. i can not get her motivated to meet people her age. i find myself crying for feeling so irritated w/ her.. she is my mom.. i understand things have been rough. i am not sure how to turn her into a positive person.. i don't want the negativity to rub off on me or my girls.

Meditcation works but is not a total fix. Couseling gets it out but not a total fix.

I'm writing about an individual who was oppressed, abused, ridiculed, and neglected during childhood to the point of not talking and hiding (even as a child of 2 or 3 hid in a closet to avoid the mother). This continued to some extent into teenage years. Many mistakes were made and opportunities lost even as an adult. The person is now able to join in conversations without the "tremendous" fear that was present in past years, joins in group activities, etc., but is still somewhat socially withdrawn. This person was "damaged" by another, but is this a psychiatric disorder? The person is very intelligent (IQ 150+) and has no problem conversing about common interests. One otherwise would not be aware of the problem just to observe from a distance. This is definitely not Asperger's. What is the diagnosis?

...I would like you to write on it whatever you want.. what will it be...? Something that you feel really strongly about right now, something you hold close to your heart all the time..something throw-away - it's all valid.

I am curious from ppl who have used it , what negative side effects you had and what dosage you would recommend to start on (and if you worked up to a higher one).
My doc had started me on 20mg and it _seemed_ like it made me have some heart palpitations so I quit taking it after 3 days.. but I was already getting some of these missed beats because of my anxiety/panic condition, which is the main problem, not depression.

So Im curious if it likely did or did not effect my heartbeat and if maybe I could try it again at a smaller dosage initially. Just after other ppls experiences with it really I guess.
Thanks!

For the past year or so, i have felt like i am on auto-pilot. Even as i am typing this message i feel like i am on some sort of auto-pilot mode, like im not actually living my life...I cannot really explain it.

I dont feel aware, i feel muffled, like im watching my life more than living it, yet im still controlling it ugh, its too confusing to even explain.

I think over the many hours of sleep i have lost, and think that maybe thats the reason why i am like this, its hard to concentrate on everything around me...making me feel like im not a part of reality at all? In 7th grade i had huge insomnia from a video game called Starwars Galaxies. I stayed up all night for over 24hrs more than 30 times that year. In 8th grade i didnt have it nearly as bad because i realized how tired i was, but it still happened a whollllleeee lot. This time i was addicted to WoW, almost failed that year too.

Anyways, its only now that i have started to think (nearing the end of 9th - To be continued...

For example, I just walked outside my front door and heard a motorcyle reving its engine. It sounded like it came from behind me. I know there is not one there because where the sound is coming from, it is impossible for the bike to be there. I hear other noises also and I know those noises are just sound as well (gunshots, animal noises, etc etc). Everyone that I have told about this thinks I have lost my mind. I did not know where to place this question but it is having an affect on my health. It is stressful. I think it would stress out everyone. I just would like for someone to be able to tell me what it is and how I stop it. Any help with this would be greately appreciated. Thank you.

I suffer with Borderline Personality Disorder, after 8 years of therapy I have finally learned some of the signs when I am going down hill and feeling suicidal.
I find the problem with this is when I try and get help, I am told it is my responsibility. I find this makes me feel worse.
A lot of the time this response will make me actually worse rather than better.
I wonder what is the point of Care Programme Approach and risk assessment if they can just throw it back at you all the time.
Am I the only one who has this problem.
At the last meeting they had I didn't attend so they put me on enhanced CPA it hasn't made any difference to the way they treat me.
I live in the UK

I know this friend who´s in his second marriage already he´s in his early 30´s has kids, It´s a GI and whose personality is very flamboyant . Many people say he is a schizo because he changes his moods a lot. I don´t really want to ask him about something even near, but I would like to help him out.With me he´s cool, I haven´t seen that side of him yet, he´s kind of hyper but I don´t know if that´s true what people say.How can I treat him in a way that me nor him may get into trouble, cause he´s a really nice friend and I really would like to help.

..Or it it can be just my symptoms for anxiety(for which i was prescribed klonopin 7 years ago at a 0.5mg dosage and went up to 0.75mg 5 months ago and now am starting to go back to 0.5mg... symptoms always exist,not just now that I'm cutting down , but they always were present before and after klonopin.. maybe I reached tolerance a long time ago as 0.5 mg is a small dose, but sometimes I'm really fine.. I've been trying to think about it and I don't know if a person who is having withdrawn symptoms cause d by tolerance will have them eveyday/all the time..I guess so..if the body is asking for more and you don't give it you'd feel bad all the time...or not necessarily..? I'm really confused cause I never know if my symptoms are being caused by my own anxiety disorder or if I reached tolerance on Klonopin.. really worried.. trying to start my withdrawn.. but I get paranoid that I won't be able to sleep..among other things, of course, but I don't go to bed before I take the klonopin..

I feel like many things in my life should be different, many outcome's I should've taken different route's and always find myself in this situation. I have a happy surrounding and shouldn't be like this, but it comes on a nightly basis and I dont share it with anyone.
