I really need help, I am afraid that I might commit sucide. Most of the time I am ok, but I get so low it seems like there is no hope. Is there anyone or anything that can help? I have pills and know how many it will take.

I am now 42 but I am always afraid to make a decision because something bad will happen if I make the wrong one. Also if someone asks me to do something, even if I do not want to, I do, because I think something bad will happen if I do not. I know why but I am seeking advise on how to change it. I was molested by an uncle from age 4 to 12 and how he manipulated me was with animals. Ex: if I did not do what he would say he would torture or kill something I loved, and he would tell me it was my fault. Because of my decision something was hurt...imagine the guilt I felt for the animal. It really still affects me today in everyday matters and ppl get upset with me, because I cannot make a decision even on the littlest issue. Ex: yesterday my b/f asked me to go get something at a store, I really did not feel like going, but I went because I feel that if I do not do what is asked of me something terrible will happen.

Does counting while your doing things, like, when the toilet's running, you jiggle the handle and count the times (16 times), or count how many paper towels you use (I use 4). Or if you don't like touching anyone, or if you don't like anyone touching you, or if you pick at your clothes several times and tap several times, or shower 2 times a day, OCD?

sorry if you have answered one of thee questions already....i have asked so many questions relating this problem!! but all of yor answers do help and each tim i ask a question i always get such a great response- so thanks to all of those people :)
i have only been expriencing social anxiety for the just 2 months, im only 15 and i want to do as much as i can to help the anxiety now, when im young so i dont have to deal with it when im older.
the anxiety started when i started to get this weird blushing which looks like a rash on my face,neckand chest. i have always been shy, and i always blush-however not in this rash kind of way. ever since the weird blush has occured i have been VERY nervous that its going to happen and i have to carry a mirror to school and everywhere to make sure its not happening. this has stopped me from attending school and even going shopping. im very close to my mum and we are trying to get through this.... i cant even talk to my friends. so i was wondering...

Sometimes I get so worried and stressed and don't sleep until 4 in the morning.

Does anyone else feel this way? How do you cope with all of this?

I've seen the awful side effects of psychiatric medicines and have read that you cannot know which side effects you will get or if they will ever go away. I have read alot about high doseages of b vitamins that help, omega 3, st johns wort, same e, 5htp, amino acids, etc. What helps fast?

This person is distrustful of others intentions, (chronic, traumatic and painful history of events) paranoid, difficult to emotionally connect with and has considered/attempted suicide before.. He/she secretly cuts self as an outlet for coping, is an ex-drug addict, rejects friendships and has few family. He/she appears okay and social in public ( when not in reclusion) but I know the real person is far from it internally. He/she is a devoted and loving parent and knows mental help is needed but is scared that reaching too far for it would bring jeopardy of hospitalization (mental floor) or other consequent that could come from it. This person has a psychiatrist and mental therapist but only shares with them the topics and issues of which wouldn't pose a threat of being hospitalized. He/she is extremely fearful of something terrible happening to his/her children while away for in-patient treatment..... I'm the only one left that is trusted by this person....What do I do?

What I mean by this is:
Humans naturally become tired when the sun goes down. We usually find it hard to sleep during the day. Astronauts orbiting around Earth have a difficult time getting sleep because the sun is constantly moving in and out of view.

Say, if someone worked the graveyard shift every day for a year, would he become nocturnal, or would he still have trouble sleeping during the day?

i have read many questions on this page and some times the people who answer them say i dont believe in such a thing as depression or it is only a panic attack
i never thought their was such a thing as mental illness and thought you could just click your fingers and feel better if you really wanted to, this was before i had it my self
also some of them reckon that medication dosent help and you can get better just by exercise and diet, this really gets to me as i desperately did not want medication when i first became ill and for a few months i kept going to the doctor and refusing it then my illness took over my life i couldnt function daily i couldnt even sit in the doctors wairing room withour screaming with the panic attacks
so i think what i really am trying to say to the people who say theas things that please we dont particularly want to be on medication but to function in every day life some of us need it also when you say thier is no such thing as depression you have it fo

Lately I have been feeling like I'm superior to everyone around me. In middle school through highschool I was constantly bullied and felt like crap, I was a big nerd back then and was considered by most people to be intelligent but I was frail, pale, had acne, was short, and had no social skills, and was addicted to MMORPGS. Now as a sophomore in college I am still sort of nerdy but I've lost my acne and MMO addiction, have become more confident and I've grown to be 6ft 200lbs cause I go to the gym at least 4 days a week and practically all the girls I talk to say Im hot and have a good personality and say how smart I am since I am going into Medschool to be a radiologist. Lately I have been feeling like I am superior to everyone around me and I've started looking down on everyone as being lesser than me. I try to treat people with respect and I do...but in my head I still consider myself to be superior to just about everyone.

Please help. I am deadly serious here. I have been married for 8 years and we have 2 kids, one of which is disabled. I have suffered depression on and off for years, and I have a progressive kidney disease. I have no career, and I am 32. Lately I have felt my life has been gradually deteriorating. I have lost touch with friends, and I don't feel any passion for my husband at all any more.

I have no energy to do things. I sit all day wasting my time on the computer. I don't see people during the day. I spend so much time alone, I end up talking to myself. I have lost a lot of weight, which I hoped would make me feel better, but it hasn't. I still feel unattractive and useless.

I know how this must sound, and I think I can guess what you are all going to say. I have no life. I have no hobbies (other than the internet), no job, few friends. I am a trained teacher, but quit because I hated it. I don't know where to go.

I'm not a drugie!!!
But alot of ppl. have been telling me that Weed isn't a bad thing.
Becuase it's:
A Natural Herb
It's Not Addictive
It Makes You Happy
It Doesn't Kill Brain Cells.

So if it's this good, why is it illegal?

I've been taking Depakote for a year or so now, 250mg three times a day. It's been very good to me, feel better than I have in months. Or at least I did. Recently got my prescription renewed and my doc wrote it for Depakote ER instead of the standard Depakote I've been taking, dosage the same. (He never mentioned changing anything so I assume this was a mistake on his part.) My mood has crashed over the past couple of days. Anyone know if there is a difference in these drugs as far as dosage and times taken daily that can affect bipolar this badly this fast? Or am I just dropping into another of those wonderful black valleys of my cycle?

I am currently going through menopause and have been on an emotional roller coaster for the last 4 months. It is driving me and my poor hubby nuts. It feels uncontrolable and I work hard to keep it to myself as much as I can. I find myself upset at nothing and the really big stuff doesn't mean a thing to me. I guess I could compare it to being Bi-polar as there are very high highs and rock bottom lows. Any advise out there about maybe some suppliments I could be taking? I have lost 50 pounds in the last four months. I have been dieting to do it. I excersise a lot and try to eat the right things. But the emotional stuff is making my life hard. I can't take estrogen as I have had breast cancer about five years ago and estrogen was the trigger according to my doctors. My religion has helped me a lot but would like to hear from other gals who have had the same problems. I am not big on taking lots of meds. Thanks.
