For example they outlawed drugs because they alter the behavior and decisions of people but beer does the same thing

kids these days stay indoors more than they play outside. Technology, Television, Internet, and laziness are making kids less active than they should be. It doesn't help them become smarter or help them get stronger. What do you think?

We met senior year of college and have been together for over a year. We live in different cities (100 miles apart) and see each other 2-3 times per month.Recently our true differences have been coming out. She is very logical, fact based, plans a lot, needs stuff to make sense. I am "feeling based", trust my gut instinct, happiness-driven, in the moment type of person. At first we seemed to complement each other, but now we have been fighting, especially over issues like money (she nickel and dimes everything and gets mad when she has to remind me to pay her back)(i think it all comes back in the long run) and thinks I am immature with leaving stuff out, toilet seat up, dishes in sink etc.We seem to have a strong bond for us to have stayed together this long, but is it too much of a sacrifice to deal with such different personalities? Am I being unfair to not change some of my ways?What is the best route to take here?Take a break to realize what we truly have? Beginning to be unhappy.

I've recently started taking a small dose of Ativan before bedtime to help me sleep-- I keep having these disturbing, wild, vivid dreams that feel REAL to me... I've actually been crying in my sleep and everything. Will this go away when I start getting used to the Ativan?? It's kinda creepy... but at least I'm sleeping I guess.

My ex-husband has sole physical and legal custody of our 14 year old daughter. He moved due to job reasons and his mother is helping to take care of her.

I live in a different state than them. I went to stay with her for about 3 weeks. She wanted me to stay until the semester was over.

Now, I feel that I don't deserve anything good and care more for myself than her. I should have stayed and taken care of her.

However, my ex and his mother were influencing my decisions a lot and I could not really be her mother. I was also staying in his house. They will not let me live in peace separately.

I am now hearing from my ex-husband that I "ruined my child" and that she will never see me for the rest of my life. I feel that I did not do my duty as a mother and she will hate me for the rest of her life. I don't deserve anything good and instead punishment.

Is it possible to change brain thought?? To the point where someone would be living in a 'make believe' world, as if in a dream, permanetly, with no awareness of whats really going on around them and of consequences of that life?

When someone talks to me. I listen very keen. When suddenly they talk to me about some number say for example 542 * 60. If any calc comes in or some percentage of interest they talk about. My brain suddenly feels a blankness. I cant able to think anything. How come others can tell this before me
Even I can do it but a little late. I want to know what that stops me from thinking and how to overcome this behaviour.

I have been off effexor xr for a whole week. Have gradually wheened down, had been on it for 7 months ranging (with Dr supervision) from 37.5mg a day to 150mg. I am seeing a clin psych and it is really helping me. My weight has increased 15kg, and am fed up with the catch 22 depression, back pain, weight gain increased back pain, low self esteem, depression. I've opted to come off and try some natural remedies with continued psych sessions. I am experiencing nausea, head spin current things, body shakes, tremors, anxiety, nervousness, sleeplessness. I also feel agitated and quite uneasy? All horrid side effects going on it too! How long do the withdrawals take to go away completey? The brain tremor electric current things are awful...really don't want to go on again, but horrid coming off too. Thanks :)

I am a teenager who pretty much has a good life. i have great friends, great family, even though they are split up. But i find myself sleeping my life away and being miserable 24/7. I try not to be, i try to be enthusiastic towards certain things but i cant help it. My grades are slipping rapidly becuase all i want to do is lay down and cry. I cheat on my homework basically everyday. I cant think of a day that goes by where i havent cheated. I havent talked to my mom about it, because she thinks i make great grades and she is "alwats bragging" about me. Im lost. Im sure this question is asked a lot, but i could really use some help. Thank you. Ryan, Dallas Texas.

I mean like childhood memories, high school, family and friends. Just memories of memorable events just fading from your memory. I do because my memories are what made me. I don't want to forget the good times. I think I might start writing them down.

Do you have to get personal about your life with a doctor when it concerns depression? Or can they go around that?

I'm 19 and I've been really depressed for almost a month now. Like everyday, I feel really miserable, I've been really irritable with my co-workers, and I've been having panic attacks at night that keep me up really late. Should I talk to my doc about this?

I take Xanax 1.5-2MG three or four times a week for bad anxiety. SSRIs and therapy have been, to put it frankly, garbage. I don't take it every day because I don't want to become too dependent. It is nice to know I can have some relief every now and then. Point of the question: Will this regiment cause more anxiety on the days I don't take it? I've heard of "rebound anxiety" but is 3-4 days a week enough to cause that?
