Is it normal to feel guilty over a loved ones' suicide? My little brother committed suicide 2 yrs ago. And I feel guilty for moving on. It is still VERY TRAUMATIC for me but I have been able to heal a little. When I do things that we would have been doing I feel horrible. Any suggestions?

Recently, I had a job offer that was more money (25% more)and promotion. Because of greed of getting more money than the original offer, I held back. Because of my mistake, the deal fell through and the employer hired someone else. This has been really bothering me. It has been nearly two months now and I can't get past this. I cannot even focus on my current job and my family. I don't know what to do. I feel like I missed out and it's bothering me beyond words. I have never felt like this before. Call it crazy, but I sometimes even get to tears. Help! How can I overcome this? How would you rank this in terms of a regretful life event? Thank you for your help.

I am 14 yrs old and a lot has happened in my life but i always have found different ways of coping. lately I have really had the urge to cut. Just to try, to feel how it is. I know that it is not the best way to handle the situation(s) but I really would like to just try. yet i am very hestitant. Maybe there is a part of me that is still like "no don't do it." but i just want to get this urge out of my system. The only way of doing that is by getting this out of the way. But i get scared that I'm going to cut a vein or an artory, or get an infection. I also have fairly thin wrists so i get nervous around that area. I won't go too deep really, i JUST want to try this and get this urge out. And have you ever in the past cut, or still do? Were you nervous the first time? How did you do it? ( i plan to use a razor btw.) And how deep is TOO deep and how do you KNOW it's too deep?

i am not rele in the mood to here the whole "DONT DO IT!" but i'll respect what you say anyway.

it seems like all the stupid and embarassing things happen to me and nobody else. i dont like the way i look, and because of these things, i have trouble talking and opening up to people.it seems like they rub it in my face all the time. i cant tell them how i feel because when i do, they just say meaner and meaner things. i used to talk alot and make people laugh, but now i cant think of anything to say and one by one i see my friends drift further and further away. is there something wrong with me?

I have been having some very significant problems in dealing with certain types of stress. I feel very overwhelmed and I have an explosive temper causing me to say and do things I later regret and causing significant damage to my relationship. I also have an intense fear of abandonment, and my reactions to situations intensify when I feel that my safety and security are threatened. I need to lean how to deal with my emotions better. Lately things have gotten scary, even dangerous.
Unfortunately, right now I am not employed and I do not have insurance as I am a full time student.
I know I need some help, but I don't feel I can afford counseling. I am hoping to get some suggestions of options that I may have in helping me work through these issues and learn better coping skills.
Any help would be appreciated.

My friend-- and ex-- had been planning a day to just let me relax and think about myself and not help anyone else. I've been really stressed lately and I never really have a break. I don't remember the last time I went on vacation. And I have a lot of problems. They think it would be good for me. I don't know how it will work out because I never put myself before others. I'm always thinking about others. I'm just looking for your opinions. Anything you want to say, go ahead-- even if you want to say something mean. I'm flexible today. =)

I've suffered with chronic fatigue ever since having a bad case of glandular fever, some years ago. I've tried everything, and nothing has really helped. I eat a healthy diet, exercise, sleep well, etc etc. My blood tests are all clear and several physical check-ups have produced normal results also.

Currently I'm trying anti depressants to help with my energy and enthusiasm level, but the three I've tried haven't done much. So am just wondering if anyone out there has come across any other medication that's helped?

NOTE: please don't respond by suggesting any so-called 'natural' remedies/therapies - I've tried them all!!!

Thanks for your help.

I have a lot of problems and I'm usually very upset. My friends don't rea;ize this, though because I'm always smiling and "happy" and whenever someone asks how I am, I always say I'm good. My one friend-- friend #1-- has been constantly been telling me to tell people how I feel and to be more open since the day I told her about some of my problems. Well, friend #1 had been bugging me about it, so I went and complained about it to friend #2. Friend #2 started asking me why I'm not open and now she's acting like friend #1. This is what friend #1 had told me: yeah dee, i highly doubt that. again you dont realize but with you there is always something... to be worried about. So now I have two friends bugging me to tell people how I feel and what's going on. But there's a problem; I don't know how to be open. I've always put others first. It was-- and still is-- very rare for me to think about myself.
