It is only about 2% of the job, and the other parts of the job are far more important. I had to teach a computer class about 15 years ago, and a doctor gave me some valium (or similar) it helped quite a bit, but instead of being nervous, I was just very shy.

Should I tell my boss? Take lots of drugs again? What? Please help?

3 weeks ago my wonderful 19 year old son was killed in a car accident. Everyone in the house but me seems to be able to get back to life. I have panic attacks when I try to go back to work (i'm a nurse in pediatrics). Does anyone know what to try or do to try to get back to being "normal"? I have to get back to work before we get into real financial trouble. PLEASE help!

... this time maybe i blown it. The advisor told me she could not help me. I had children young, i made a mistake to some. i worked before these nippers came along however family never supported me, so i left my job, since then ive hated every moment being a claimant - i went to college at 20 hoping to study a diploma and degree that will lead me onto work. This study required me to volunteer and so i slugged it out, getting broke for childcare etc, i did it, And still 2 years of cv canvassing, which i more or less do each day (theres only so many jobs in one village) im not in a city. and i dont drive a car but im learning too. Im still here at the end. im shamed of my life. do you still hate me? after watching all these jeremy kyle shows i feel like the scum on there , that aint bothered to get up in the morning. Im different i want to work. I pleaded begged and cryed.

I can't stand rude, impatient drivers who tailgate me or break the law by passing me on the right lane (which is illegal-- by the way)

ok i was lying in my bed just this morning and i was just daydreaming about things and i think i may of drifted off to sleep and i had a dream and things, then suddenly it felt like someone was squeezing me head and i felt my eyes roll back into my head and i could see the veins in my eyes, i couldn't move my eyes back down, and they where going mad, flickering and everything, also what was strange was when my head felt like it was getting squeeze or like pushed on, the more it pushed the darker it got, in the end i think i just blacked out, when i woke up i felt very strange, moments later when i was aware that i was awake i felt as if someone was pushing my head and my face again, squeezing it, pushing it down into my bed, my whole body infact, then the darkness started to come back, but this time my eye's didn't roll back, i think they tried to but i made them look forward, i then saw scary things i didn't want to see, like people floating around my room and voices and things,

These are some of the many things I've noticed:

1. Any change from routine causes great distress. I mean she gets very anxious. May even go in the room to cry.
2. Terrible handwriting, like that of a child, but is an adult.
3. Motor skills are awkward when it comes to dancing or social sports like softball, etc.
4. Very intelligent, but unable to excel at work or school when it requires lots of social contact
5. Always hyper alert and notices the slightest sound, smell, or change around her. Literally seems stressed by too much.
6. Desires friendships but Socially anxious and awkward so spends most of her time alone, unless with people who understand.
7. Eye contact makes her uncomfortable
8. Has normal language skills, and very articulate, but words become jumbled when speaking with strangers
9. Facial expressions sometimes don't fit the situation
10. Is caring and loving, but sometimes seems to be in a world of her own, or not interested in others when in that zone.

Even unimportant appointments. The waiting is the worst part for me I get these symptoms:-
1) Trembling
2) Sweating yet I feel cold
2) My body feels stiff, my face so stiff I can barely smile
3) Swallowing all the time leading to a gassy stomach
4) Mind races, a million different thoughts going around
5) My voice gets strained and more high pitched
6) Inability to concentrate
7) Feel clumsy, bump into things
8) Feel stupid, say stupid things, get more nervous for doing that.
9) Feel angry at everyone.

How can I calm my nerves without using drugs/alcohol?

Also, what are the pros and cons? Do physicians still prescribe it? Are there other drugs that help to reduce the effects of stress only when needed and not long term?

I am in an utter depression, I dont eat, I only go to work and go home and sleep. I brokeup with my girlfriend 6 months ago and she married some guy 3 months later. I had 3 years to make a move on her but ALWAYS gave her false promises and changed my mind about getting married. So, I know I did this to myself! She is just an amazing person and I let her go, I cant believe how sick I feel, it seems better if I was dead.

I have HPV, my hair is falling out, I hate my job, it is all just terrible. I miss her so deeply and get deal with the fact I will never see her again, I am too hurt, feel guilty, regret, just eveything, just WISHING every second I could go back to the past and marry her, but then I know I cant. Life for me is the worst. how can I get myself ouf this, I am scared I never will.......

Anorexia refers to the psy condition when people do not eat because they have a distorted body image.
But what is the name of the condition when someone does not want or cannot eat, and this is not related to his body image, i.e. has other psy reasons?
How do I find more info on non-anorexia related under eating?

I have been trying to switch my psychiatrist for the past two months? He has this superior attitude and gets on my nerves sometimes. I also feel bad most times after I've had a session with him. He always tells me that we have to do a close out session in order for me to switch doctors. I called the hospital administration and they said that I have to have a close out appointment with him in order to be transferred to a different doctor. However every time I go to see him he manages to manipulate me into keeping him as my doctor. I called him and he told me that most doctors aren't available for morning appointments like I need insinuating again that I should just keep him as my doctor since I've been seeing him for ten months. I really can't afford to not go to therapy. Should I just stay with him and try to find help at a different hospital since he is adamant about me not seeing any other doctor at the hospital where he works?

With all the knowledge we now know about tobacco product. That it is for sure a documented KILLER! Than when a smoker lights up, he is committing suicide? Also what we know about second hand smoke! If their is another person who doesn't smoke, breathes the second hand smoke. In turn dies from that act of ignorance. Could that be concidered homacidal? According to the DSM-IV Suicide and Homacide fall into these guidelines. Now knowing this, give me your answer.

I met my counselor for the first time last Tuesday, and he told me that I have ADD. He explained how he realized that and what ADD is but he really didn't explain it in a way I understood it.
What is ADD? What does it do? Can it be treated without medication??

I was looking up previous Q&A on Paxil side effects... withdrawals, excessive weight gain, all of which sounds like a terrible nightmare!! I have realized that I have pretty bad anxiety, I get killer migraines, jitters, my heart races so fast it makes me wanna throw up. hard time falling asleep, hard time concentrating, always very anxious, ect. and reading these answers made me feel even more anxious and nervous. My doc just prescribed me to the generic version of Paxil and I took my first pill yesterday, I have been trying to lose weight which has worked (I recently lost 10lbs) and I really am afraid to gain any. I know meds affect everyone one differently, but I really feel I need some more advice on this here. What do I do? The withdrawals seem to be just retched from what I have read. Is it worth it to try? It seems like a lose lose situation.
