he's anti-social, is always tired, hates his life and sometimes says he hates himself, so i think he suffers from depression. He had a bad time with an ex. I want to be his friend but he's so horrible to me sometimes, the other night he called me a b*tch and he thinks all girls are sl*ts ...then the next day he just says he was joking, even tho to me it didnt seem like that

okay.. i cut.. and my parents know .. my bro knows.. and my doctor knows.. and i have a counselor... but the feeling is still there.. it feels so much better after i do it.. i dont know why.. and i can not stop it. and please do not give me stupid answers like thats stupid dont do it.. or thats bad you need to stop.. cuz ive tried like everything.. but i just cant. and ive also thought about other things.. not suicide.. but like drugs and drinking.. but im not going to.. or im trying.

for me.. it just feels better to lose blood then tears. that sounds cheesy but its true.

and ppl who think everyone who does it is for attention.. you are dumb.. because.. even if you start that way.. its hard to stop. and i deffinately dont want attention. but anyways.. please help me.

Is it possible to live isolated in the mountains and live off the land itself? The thing is though, how will I be able to keep myself in a healthy state like I am now? Will it drop?
Also, I'm worried about that will my life excpectancy drop to the point where I die at 65 or even 55?
I want to do it one day but I'm scared that the above is gonna happen.
Anyone have any advice?

Issues include long periods of depression and feelings of insecurity. I think I've got problems where I make myself feel horrible. Sometimes when I'm making love to my fiance, I'll think her with the other guys she's been with, and I won't be able to continue. I know everyone has a past, and hers is really very tame, but I just can't get these thoughts out of my head. I usually wake up with things like that in my mind first thing in the morning. When this happens, the whole morning is shot. I don't know if maybe I'm too messed up for a relationship, or if I'm maybe too immature. I'm 30 years old, educated, and sometimes very happy. I know my fiance is getting sick of it, but I can't seem to help it. I know this question is an easy target for insults, so I'll just ignore all those. I am looking for help.

Thanks.

Im only 13, almost 14, and today at the beach i had to go to the bathroom. So i put my tank top and shorts on and went to the bathroom. When i got there, there was a lady in line in her bathing suit and had a bit of a belly. She goes to me once i get there, "when are you due?" and i was like "what?" kinda quietly. And she goes, "when are you due?" and kinda smiled. Then the bathroom stall opened and she went into the stall. When she came out i went in and she left. I was thinking to myslef, am i really THAT big that a person thinks im PREGNANT. i mean i dont look even old enough to drive! i am a little bit bigger, but im really self concious about it. Doesnt she know that teenage girls feel already concious about themselvs, but the minute i get in the bathroom she aks me when im due!!
im not sure what to do? =[

I constantly think about the future! I think it makes sense right now because my life kinda sucks (my family moved far away, I have no money to spend, I'm living on my own while I'm in college so I have to work a lot and still go to school, etc). My boyfriend and I have been together for over 4 years, so I plan our wedding, our move to another state, our house and other future things when I'm home...but in a weird way, like I calculate money spending/saving way too much. Lately I've been spending so much time online that I have little time for other things...I sometimes have difficulty breathing, heart palpitations, headaches, body aches/twitching, fatigue, trouble falling asleep/staying asleep, I've been avoiding people/doing things, I'm sad, frustrated, I obviously overthink, blah blah blah... I don't know if the future stuff is related to the way I feel right now, but I just wish I could be happy and relaxed and live in the moment..! Ugh! Thanks for listening ;o)

basically i have always had a negative attitude, about myself and life in general, and feeling sad alot of the time, often for no apparent reason. but recently i went through a really rough time. i started to self harm, cried constantly, stayed in my room and took lots of sleeping pills....it all culminated in a paracetamol overdose....i went to hospital, stayed overnight under observation and was sent home no questions asked....about two weeks later i received a letter offering me an appointment with a psychiatrist. i went and was asked a few basic questions...nothing too in depth and was sent on my way and advised to speak to my uni councellor. surely this is completely inadequate? not that im an expert but surely my symtoms and actions should have been treated more seriously? what do i have to do to get some help?!!!

The obvious answer to the question is no but let me give a bit of background. Last year I was off for depression, came back too soon and was generally incompetant and I committed what could have been considered gross misconduct (misuse of computer facilities and sending personal internal emails to people who had ditched me due to my depression asking why they did what they did, which they complained about calling it harrassment). On the eve of a nervous breakdown work suspended me. Four months later I felt a little better and they invited me back for a disciplinary. I went to the first meeting and I broke down and the symptoms returned but twice as bad. I physically can't go back to the office because of panic attacks, memory loss etc. I'm being asked about things I can't really remember at all and I don't know what to do.

If I'm signed off work because of this, can I legally be sacked? If I'm sacked I'm not sure what I'll do to myself and I'm incredibly scared.

A person very close to me in the family has had depression for almost 2 years now. She's went to doctors but always thinks she knows best and doesn't listen to them. She says that she does listen but wouldn't she be getting better by now if she was? It's been very hard for the last 2 years and no-one seems to be helping at all. She doesn't want to discuss it because she thinks we'll "get bored" but all we want to do is help. Everyone in the family is trying their very best including me. She has tried writing a list of things she's good at or the things other people think she's good at (which is everything!) and reading it every night before going to sleep & tries to believe in herself. She's the most kindest, bravest, bestest big sister ever! But she doesn't think that. She's very low in self esteem. Can anyone give me any advice on how to help her self esteem or anything else? Something to keep her mind off it maybe? Please help! (No cruel comments please)

My friend from church recommended some books to me. However, I looked at them and they either say mental conditions don't exist or are caused by being sinful! I am very hurt. What should I do?

I have been going through some really difficult times with my marriage, my family and myself for some time.
My wife and I have been seeing different psychologists plus we go to two different marriage counselors.
One doctor is strongly convinced that I should be on anti-depressants and so is my wife.

My problem is that my problems are situational, that I dont need drugs - I just need to improve my life. I worry that my Dr. wants me on anti-depressants because it's an easy answer for him; and that my wife wants me on them for selfish reasons.

The last thing I want to do is change who I am, o get myself to a point where I cant live without them.

Any thoughts?

I find myself tearing up hearing sad songs that never affected me before, looking at pictures of my parents and myself when they were young and I was a little boy, etc. My parents are only sixty and in good health. I even started tearing up watching "Castaway" with Tom hanks the other night. Has anybody experienced this "tearfullness" after getting off of Paxil? I don't feel any more depressed than when I was on it.

What exactly what were they talking about back then? I realize today it's a meaningless term but was there a common symptom then?

I have changed jobs, states, friends, activities, and everything else I can think of but I just cant seem to keep a smile on my face. I dont get it either. I dont have anything to be upset about, I dont have a bad life at all... What the hell do people do to get out of their grumpy attitudes that come from nowhere? How do they just be happy?
