I have a job that includes a LOT of rejection, it's a market research job. I also have a history of depression. I'm finding that the rejection is really getting to me. However, I have 2 little kids, and my husband's income doesn't QUITE cover everything that we need, and we don't live richly, and we don't have anything we can cut out. This job has hours that make it able for me to work so that I don't have to have daycare, but it also means that I don't get to see my WONDERFUL husband much at all :( What do I do? Do I suck it up and just keep working, or do I quit for my own mental health?

I went to stay with my child who is 14 and lives in another state. My ex-husband moved due to job reasons and she was staying with his mother. I was only able to stay for 3 weeks.

Now, I see that my child is not doing well in school and I feel like its all my fault. I feel like my life is not worth living and that I should die.

What should I do about these feelings? I can't see any good in life at all and just feel terrible about myself. Its guilt mixed up with depression. I try to pray and leave it in God's hands.

What else can I do?

How do they tell if it is bipolar or ADHD? Is it controversial to diagnose a child with bipolar? Has anyone got bipolar and when they look back they recognise that they had it as a child?

I need help but I dont know where to begin, I've been suffering from panic attacks and stress for the past 4 months now. I've been to the hospital twice now once in January the other in februray. They did the tests on my heart came back clean yet its still bugging me to death. My chest still hurts daily more then likely from over doing it at work, I've learned to accept that, and the heart flutters, and racing heart beat when I panic.Yet the fear stays with me. I really need help mentally I realize that but I dont make enough money to afford it, I barely make enough to get by as is,I make on average under 12,000 dollars a year, and I dont have insurance. Is there anything I can do to get some help to deal with this in my situation?

iam waiting for therapy, im 29.
ive suffered with this disorder for 15 years, the main problems, i struggle with is very low moods, high levels of anxiety and panic, and inner rage feelings towards people at times. im doin really well in managing all this, i look forward to therapy and gaining insight into helping myself.
however because of my symptoms i only go out when i have to, ie, to pay bills, get food, get shopping, etc.
and today, this morning, im getting into a panic because i know i have to venture out to the hospital, and unfortunatly because i do suffer from inner rage feelings, and in the distant past now, i have had rage attacks, i also have great panic and anxiety. i can feel paranoid and uneasy about people at times, and can think their persecuting me in some way, staring at me, and treating me different.
i realise these feelings are one of the triggers for my past rage attacks, where ive lost control.
im just wonderin if anybody can give me any advice today as i

Doctors and counselors tell me to do something for myself? I have been doing everything for my husband and my children for so long that I don't know what I want to do. Any suggestions.

Hey.... just want your opinion. I was on depression medicationf for the last year (effexor). I found that it often made me feel more depressed during bad situations and twice tried to overdose on the medication. (i promise i'm not crazy) I stopped taking it after the last incident... about 2 weeks ago and have felt so much better. Happier, more energy, motivation, etc. I know that i have anxiety problems.... when I think of a a bad situation... i can't get it out of my head and make myself sick thinking about it.

i read an article today saying that people sometimes just have the blues rather than depression.

my questions: how do you know if it is the blues or depression (i get devestated after break ups... moreso than normal people... i can't function).

should i be on anxiety med instead of depression?

why do i feel better now that i have stopped taking the med? should i get on something? if so, what works?

I am a caregiver who recently lost a client who was on hospice, dying of cancer. She was young. Only 43 and had 2 children. She didnt want to let her kids watch her detiriate and suffer. She shot herself when I was alone in the house with her. I had no idea she was even contemplating suicide. How do you go on and continue being a good caregiver to other people? I have very few friends and 3 children of my own. My husband is not much help right now either he is working out of town and I dont see him for weeks on end. I need a support group, friends something to get my mind off all the details of this tragic event. Any ideas?

i may not be able to solve your problem. but i know that we all need someone to listen to us without judging us at every turn.

if you want to talk to someone and you have no one to listen, feel free to email me.

i know it's kind of weird for some people to understand, but there are some of us that really don't have a friend even when we are surrounded by people.

so, I have this social studies project that i have to present soon, and im really freaked out. Part of the reason is really silly I admit. In the class I need to present in, there are two guys that like me(Idont like them) but thats mostly why I dont want to present. Yes I know its a stupid reason, but I cant seem to overcome the anxiety cause its really bad.

What can/should I do to get over it, and be more comfortable speaking?

I really dont like anyone in that class anyway casue they're mostly snobs, so I keep tellin myself "okok you shouldnt care what the heck they think, besides they probably wont even remember you." It works a tiny bit but I need some more advice.

I used to be on lexapro and the change was very subtle. I had trouble telling if it was working or not and eventually I stopped taking it. That was months ago.

Recently I started taking celexa and I have been feeling better and accomplishing a lot, however, I wonder if it is really because of the drug since I have only been on it for five days. How do I know if it is the drug or some other factor that is causing the change in me?

I think I may have bipolar or depression. I feel very apathetic and feel like nothing is going anywhere, only getting worse. I also get very dramatic at times, getting overly excited about things sometimes for almost no reason.

I have also started cutting myself, I'm not sure why. I am not in a normal mental state when I do it, I think the physical pain will take away some of the psychological confusion and sadness. I don't feel like wanting to commit suicide, though sometimes I imagine what people would think if I died.

Recently one of my friends has told our school guidance office about my cutting. Nothing has happened yet but I will probably have to meet with them tomorrow. My parents don't know anything about this. How do I get the help I need and get diagnosed without things blowing out of proportion and ending up in the psychiatric ward?

My sister makes this really annoying noise. She does it VERY VERY VERY often, and won't stop. She knows Heck, she embarrases me infront of my friends because she does it. She kinda sounds like a baby aligator... But she started doing it one day when we were watching a movie in my room. My mom left on a buisness trip for about 3 weeks, and my sister didn't make that stupid noise. She only started making it when she came back! I don't think that is a coinky-dink! She might be doig it for attention or something. I don't know. Someone please help me! I wanna choke my sister!!! (not really but sometimes I do!!!!!)
