I have a friend who suffers from depression. Within the last couple of weeks he lost his father and has been extremely stress out. Here lately he has been on edge and verbally abusive to his gf and some of his other friend. And it seems like he yells at his kids all the time. I am very concerned that he is about to snap and become physically abusive. How should this be addressed and can his depression lead to being phycially as well as more verbally abusive? HELP?

She would always say well at least you arent a single working mom whenever I would try to tell her about something that was bothering me. She was a single working mom and I guess naturally in her mind that was the end all be all of all probs. Its rough but why relate that to your own child. Has anyone run into this problem? I cant look at a problem from a healthy perspective anymore. It almost has to be life threatening and even then I ask is this a real problem. Please give me some thoughts or feedback. Thanks.

I use to be really active and motivated in everything i do, but since about 1 and 1/2 years ago I have lost my motivation to work (but i do anyways but not as good as I should) and i'm becoming more forgetful. After spending some time in Iraq, i now find myself forgetting to do simple tasks someone asks me to do and all i want to do is sleep or sit on my back porch and chill. Are the two connected? Is it depression?

Hi.

There are many reason why I feel down, depressed and lonely.
Recently I had a bit of a conflict with my psychiatrist. I didn't think she was taking my side-effects that seriously. This is a psychiatrist with a great reputation-and everyone loves her at the clinic I go to. She referred me to someone else there but it doesn't make me feel any better.

It feels like nobody is even on my side. That no one in the psychiatry clinic actually cares. Maybe I expect too much from therapy -no one gives me a real positive feeling there-it is just work.

I also have very few friends - one and maybe two. I have no close relationship with anyone.

I think these are reasons to feel lonely, down, and insecure?

I think it is. Any person who is delusional enough to believe in irrational myths has got to have some form of mental disorder. Agree?

Did you know that owning a pet lowers your blood pressure?
Did you know that married people live longer than single people?
Did you know that having at least one person you can confide in lowers stress, therefore helping you live longer?
Did you know that if I seen you hurt or crying, I would hurt and cry with you, as would many other strangers?
Did you know that you are loved by many?
Did you know that upon
your death, many will suffer?
Did you know that, if I could, I would help anyone in this world, as many others?
Can you tell I am in a good mood? Just Kidding, I always feel this way......I have been called naive but I am hopeful and my heart and prayers go out to each and everyone of you who are hurting or suffering. My 9 year old son and I pray for you everynight....God bless you and yours....xoxoxoxoxTurtlegirl

he refuses to do anything he is told..and i mean ANYTHING. he gives the teachers at school nothing but problems by refusing to do his work and back talks. he has always been a little hard-headed but it has been unreal since they tried him on adderall. i took him off the meds but he still has the problems. he has also been having fits of rage where he will scream at the top of his lungs and claw at his eyes, throw things, swing and kick people. and all it takes to set him off is asking him to do simple tasks such as eat his dinner or get ready for school. i have tried time out (yea...did'nt work), i've tried taking things away..did not work either. i have tried all i know to do.. any advice?

After seeing a counselor/psychologist for almost a year, I don't know if I'm in a better place than I started, or worse off. My psychiatrist and I determined that my body grows tolerant of medications very quickly (all medications) and therefore I've been going from one anti-depressant to the next trying to find one that will work and keep working. Right now I'm not on any because I feel like it isn't worth it and I want to do this on my own.

But more than that, I have disordered eating patterns and almost zero self esteem. And I feel as though my therapist didn't really help. At all. I feel as though he could have kept talking and talking and it wasn't ever going to anywhere. It seems like this is something I have to do on my own, as impossible as it feels.

Has any else had similar experiences, where their therapist has made it worse, or not helped at all with an eating disorder and/or self-esteem issue?

I found a teacher that I looked up 2 almost like a mother figure & I respected her. I wrote her 2 letters seeking advice for my teenage problems. She was my former writing teacher so I also gave her lots of my writing peices. I was asked to stop contacting her - but continued, & would try anything to be seen by her in the hall. I have pranked called her class phone, contacted her 21 year old daughter on MySpace, & think bout this teacher a lot & get her private info. I go out w/ my friends hoping to see her in public & make a scene infront of her. I recently lost my temper & yelled at her & accused her of something she didn't do, & got expelled cause she felt threatened by me. Now I have been out of school for 1 month & had 2 take a crazy test. A theripist that I have been required to see in order to get back into school said it seems that I seek to get info about her and to be close to her, and when I don't/can't I get angry/fustrated. What do you think?

(Im 14 & female)

Since last October Ive been extremely depressed and anxious. My brother died then, and I kind of don't know what to do with myself. I always think friendsa re out to get me even though I know they really aren't. I don't care as much about school, although I am an excellent student. I am tired all the time and find it hard to set goals and achieve them. I have a therapist who I talk to every week, but sometimes it doesn't help. I have ADHD and take medication for it, but I no longer take it and my parents don't know that. I feel anxious about everything and need everything to be up front and know about everything that is going on. If i feel frightened in anyway, my heart rate goes through the roof, I get dizzy and I feel extremely jittery and nauseous. I am frequently depressed and I need help. Does anyoone have suggestions?

homicidal. Over his weekend, he threatened to kill me and damaged property at my home. I called the police and he was arrested. I have also filed a restraining order. I know that I did the right thing, but why do I feel like I have totally betrayed him? At one point in our lives, this man was my best friend. He is now behind bars for God knows how long and I am sitting here feeling guilty. How am I going to get through this?

Is scratching yourself considered self-injury?

This prob seems very weird but I dont know why or what is going on. I have always been a Christian. I have prayed to the Lord every night since I was a child. I have always believed in him and leaned on him in bad times. But for the past few weeks I have almost been questioning my religion. I have become overly obsessed witht he creation of the world, earth, universe, and how we even got here. I have been constantly reading about outer space till it scares me to think about such a vast space and how small we are to that. I have been thinking about what really happens when we die and I dont know why!!!! I dont like feeling this way and I dont like questioning God. But this is all I can think about every minute of the day. What is going on with me??

There is aperson who sits with me at lunch, thinks he is my friend, and follows me everywhere. He is 11, and he weighs 55 pounds, you can see his bones sticking out, he doesn't eat much at lunch, and he says he excersises about the average amount. He has a good family situation, and seems happy.

However, I think he might have an eating disorder. Please tell me if you think he does have an eating disorder, and if he does, what I should do about it. (Tell a teacher/parents/social worker, ask him about it, etc.)

Thank you very much!!!
