She is obviously more upset and saddened then I have every seen her, she is also manic depressive and although she has seen her doctor I am so terribly worried about her, she is completely checked out from her home her animals, this lady is super strong but she has buried her entire family now in six years, I am not sure she will ever recover, there is no life in her eyes anymore, she handled burying her father and all her siblings in a very short time period but now her child is gone. I know this is very long but I need to give info in case there is anyone out there that can help me help her, please only serious answers thanks. I am listening to her whenever she wants to talk but she just seems on autopilot, her husband is not the father of the child but is doing his best but now he's back at work and she spends a great deal of time alone. (Her mom died when she was little)

I suffer from OCD and I get anxiety attacks when my family does something that violates my schedual. I am extremly anxious right now because twenty mintues ago my dad came in while I was wearing nothing but a towel and was yelling at me. I want to break stuff. Thats the only thing that makes me feel better is breaking glasses and plates, because I feel like when it breaks the anxiety is broken and everything is all better, but that only gets me into more trouble because my parents scream at me and touch me and it makes everything worse. What can I do? I want to break something right now.

I've heard this term recently and wonder exactly what it means -- is it only about moods? Does it have to do with environmental toxins? An interplay of both?

Is this an "official" term recognized by the medical community, or is it sort of a shortcut term people use to describe a certain personality type?

Thanks for any answers you have!

My best friend is very fat and she is complexed about it (she can't have a boyfriend, she can't handle gym, she can't wear a mini-scurt or stuff like that like other girls because she thinks she looks horrible in them etc.). I tried convincing her that she is fine the way she is, but it didn't work. I'm very worried.
I told her that I will stay with her in my apartment and togheter we will hold a diet. If I eat just like her there wont be anymore temptations and maybe she will be able to lose some weight. But she told me to stop trying to help her because she is addicted to chocolate and she will do crazy things to get it. I know it sounds stupid. I tought so too when I first heard it but now it's getting worst. She is depresed all the time and she doesn't even talk to her parents anymore about her problem. She just starts crying.
Please give me any information that might help! Thank you!

I now you guys will think I'm crazy, but I need help. I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell's wrong with me. I used to be a happy healthy social person. Now (most of this started after my pap dying but I don't know if thats the whole problem). Now I am bitter depressed, i shut myself off from practically the whole world.I fight with my boyfriend and he broke up w/me last night cuz it's too difficult on him to be with me (imagine how it is for me?) he called me a psychotic bithch, that hurt. I am always so sad and i hate myself, i have developed very bad sleeping patterns (dont get much) and eating habits (possible ED developing), its getting worse to the point that I'm scratching my self with my fingernails and sharp things like scissors, just to distract from whats going on inside. I've thought about taking a handful of pills even sometimes, but never do it. my mind races and is very negative to myself. what could be wrong? what can i do? serious answers only. thanks!

Refuse anti-depressants because you don't want to have to rely on a medication to feel 'happy'?

Or is this being ignorant and selfish? A form of suicide?

My son has accused me of molesting him as a child. My daughter says that I killed small animals in the backyard. Until a few months ago, nothing like this had ever been said, until they were influenced by another person who believes she was the victim of ritual abuse. My children are 21 and 19. we had a happy family, and my oldest son who is 24 has no idea where this came from either, and feels that this is a results of outside influence.
this is beyond horrific. My children have seen therapists, as far as I know, and no charges have been filed. I honestly fear for the safety of my kids, who are living with this person who influenced them (not the therapist, who is legit).
I hope no one has had this experience, but if you have has anything helped?
I am seeing a therapist and no, she does not think I fit the profile of a molester.
no, I did not abuse my ,unless you count eating your veges, and cleaning your room. does anyone have any suggestions?

My teacher training is making me ill. It's taken all over my life and is making me sick. I've no confidence left in my own ability or my own intelligence. I'm so unhappy and can't cope with the thought of going back to school. My relationship with my colleagues is at an all-time low, my relationship with my boyfriend is falling to pieces because of this. I've no energy. I can't sleep at night but I'm tired all day. I just want to run away. I've only got 7 weeks left, which sounds like nothing, but I can't take another day like this. I wish I'd never started - please advise.
ps: I can't get signed-off. If I miss too many days then I'll fail the course.
