It seems anymore when I talk, I can't talk straight. I'll talk to someone and I'll get ahead of my self and it'll all come out wrong. Sometimes alot giberish. I know what I want to say, but it comes out different. PLus, if i get excited or mad, I can't talk staright. If i want to talk staright, I have to slow myself down and watch myself. It's embarassing. Plus, when someone is talking to me, I'll use the wrong word for something. Is there something wrong with me? Is this a disease? I started noticing this about half a year ago. Is it because i got alot on my mind? is it stress? how can I fix this?

Can someone who is bipolar be angry with one person and at the same time be kind with another person.

If it's not one of the bipolar symptoms, what disorder can it be?

Thanks for any feedback.

My aunts dog acts really weird. She's always crying and shaking like a leaf. No matter what you do she doesn't stop. You could take for a walk, feed her, give her treats but she still acts weird. Is it possible for a dog to be depressed?

For the majoirty of my career I have owned my own business.
Even though the company did well through out its years the comapny always lost good people and some were good friends . Two year ago I closed our doors. Since then I took a year off and and now for the second time in over 20 years I am faced with finding a job. Well, there has been no problem finding a good job but in the last 12 months I have been dismissed by 3 employers. In each circumstance I had negotiated an executuve role each paying in the 6 digits ++.

I now realize that throught the many years it has been me that has been the problem. It is only now that I realize this and realize that I need to take control of this beast.

I will be attending my first group therapy next week. I have been medicated for a number of years. After research I now realize that I also require therapy.

Can I make good what has gone bad?How do I protect my family from me until I become in control?Can I get in control?

Bizzare!

If so, please share your experiences. Last night I apparently devoured over half of a half-gallon carton of frozen yogurt in my sleep, so I went googling and found some reports of this kind of thing. Feeling a little ill this morning. Also a little disappointed, since Ambien was the first sleep med that actually worked well for me and didn't have negative side effects.

I've been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for years. More recently, this has included self-injury (cutting), mild manic episodes, extreme anxiety, dissociation, and very detailed suicidal fantasies. I cannot do my school work, I barely make it out of bed, I can't think or concentrate.

To put it in a nut-shell, I'm so sick it's going to be terminal if I don't do something. And, for some reason my will to live has been kicking in, in the form of dread over what I'll become if I don't change soon. So, I resolved to call someone tomorrow and get a referral and actually follow through with consulting someone.
The problem here is...I've made this same promise to myself many times. But, often the next day I'd feel better and convince myself I didn't need it, or just be too scared to pick up the phone.
What can I do to give myself an extra ounce of strength beyond just DOING it? Please, any advice is welcome. Any success stories? They seem to help a lot. Thanks

8yo seems to become overly stressed and frustrated with many things. She reats physically - wringing her hands, stretching her body (legs), and the odd time hitting her forehead. Docs have said she's fine - but I want to help her. The type of things she gets frustrated with are having to brush her teeth, do homework, make bed. Also she gets frustrated when children don't understand her ideas (she's very creative) or don't want to play along with her games. She also gets frustrated when she doens't understand a concept right away.

She's not into yoga but we do some stretching and we get LOTS of excersize (walking and biking). We have healthy diets and she gets enough sleep. OH and we don't have tv.

I suppose she could just have a personality traits that I don't relate to, but I need to know how to assess her level of frustration and determine if I need to demand external help.

Not really sure what I'm asking here, but yeah, anyway. Basically, I've had a bad childhood with my bipolar abusive alcoholic dad which I still haven't gotten over. I self-injure, I have an eating disorder, I'm so incredibly depressed it's unreal, and I have suicidal thoughts (but I won't do anything - they're just thoughts).

Um, so I'll stop complaining now, but I really just feel like so out of it. I don't know what to do. I feel so horrible everyday. I still live with my mom and she knows all this, but she doesn't really care. I just don't know what to do.

What would you guys do in my position?

Here's my problem, When I was ten years old and I was back in my country my Dad always used to come drunk and hit my mom and my big bro. and sometime he even hit me with a hose or with whatever he could find (wires etc.) and I started hating him so much, until the day he got really sick and died, and I remember that when he was being lowering down to earth It was raining and everyone was crying but me, I remember that I laughed the hardest I could, I was so happy, but I still remember how I laughed! I can't forget.
Now at night I get nightmares of that day, is it bad? sometimes I can't sleep, Is it my mind feeling guilty, or redemption, Help what can I do??

My mother died of colon cancer on March 14th, 2007, eleven days before my 20th birthday. A few days prior to that, I dropped all my classes at the University of Florida to help take care of her. I was determined to stay with her until she got better, and then she just died. The cancer just got so bad so fast. One day she was fine, dancing and talking to me like everything was okay. Within 1 week she was bedridden and was so weak she could barely speak or hold her own head up. She was an extraordinary woman, Christian, wife and mother of five that can't ever be replaced. No words can express my feeling of loneliness and hopelessness. I just need a little help with dealing with this. I am a Christian and she definitely was and I KNOW she is in heaven smiling down on me and looking over me. I just miss the physical aspect of her. I loved her so much. I feel so weird without talking to her everyday.
I know this is long but I just wanted to know if anyone knew any bible verses or anything

Is technology ruining childhoods today? I think they are. My parents and grandparents tell me stories of going out after breakfast and coming back for supper. They had great memories in the neighborhood with the kids. Technology today keeps kids inside playing video games. I am not saying all kids, just some. Anybody have any input?
