My dad has schizophrenia and im starting to have delusions (visual and auditory). Also sometimes I feel like something is touching me and I have had sleep problems. I also have mood swings and speaking gibberish. These problems have been occuring since I was a 5 year old.

Sorry to ask such a serious question, but I am a little too embarrased to take it to my Dr. I am a healthy 26 year old nurse. I believe I have been depressed since middle school - and have thought about suicide on and off since then (on & off being for brief periods every 2 years or so). When ever I feel so low, I am too depressed to talk to the Dr about it, and when I'm not I am too embarrased to talk about it.
The reason I am questioning talking to my Dr about it today is that I am so tired. I just feel like no matter how much sleep I get, it's not enough. I have a history of migraines, but I feel like I am getting a headache every single day. My job is very fast paced, and these symptoms make me feel like I can't do my job. I also feel like I need to quit my job every 6 months for no reason - I really like my job, and don't know why I get such a strong urge to quit.
I know there may be other answers for my symptoms, but does anyone else think could they mean depression?

Before I started treatment I had all of these symptoms especially the last one and I could not figure out for the life of me why. Then I found out dimensia is caused by untreated hypothyroidism. I still have all symptoms except for the last one now, but I don't throw things. I blow up on the littlest things and because I've already dug a hole for myself and am completely angry at myself and the world, am persistent on making everything worse and am completely out of control. Afraid to bring this up to my doctor. Afraid he'll just think I'm a nut who reads into things too much.....


People who have dementia often experience:

Confusion and memory loss.
Inability to complete everyday tasks.
Loss of self-control leading to unexpected behavior, such as throwing things, yelling at other people, or being suspicious of others.
Impaired judgment and reduced ability to make decisions and learn new things.
An eventual loss of control over physical functions, such as urination.

I dont personally know anybody with Autism but I really wish to spread information about it because I feel the more knowledge people have about it then the less bullying there will be and then the more everyone can work together...

Ok I've been dealing with my depression now for a while and I've tried everything I could think of to get out of my depression.

1.) I'm going to counseling and that doesn't get rid of it.

2.) I've picked up smoking cigerates and that doesn't help

3.) I've tryed changing my religion and that doesn't help.

4.) Tried making friends but that always goes wrong with me.

5.) Tried drinking that doesn't help.

6.) Tried writing down the way I feel in a note book but I always feel awful even if I do.

7.) Tried weed but I still felt like crap even when I was doing it so I don't do that anymore.

8.) Tried making pretend friends for myself I wanted to buy some fake GI joes and they could be my friends and I even wanted to buy a blow up doll and make it my girlfriend so I could have someone to talk to but I'm still depressed.

9.) Tried magic spells and that doesn't work.

The only thing I haven't tried is anti-depressants. What should I do to get over depression?

See, I haven't been right since I broke up with my boyfriend. I can't stand to look at myself, I pick at my weaknesses, call myself ugly, I think I'm fat. And I mean, people say I'm not. They actually say I'm pretty but I can't believe them. I need help, how do I fix this?

I know that i need to talk to her, let her know that im there and am worried about her..
would it be wrong to talk to her about it over the internet or phone? its difficult to get together because she goes to a different school now.

she's also taken up smoking pot and cigarettes. i dont think i'll be able to stop that..but i feel like i need to do something about the cutting. her mom knows, and i think im going to talk to her mom about getting her counseling. her life has been really tough this past year, and she needs help.
i just feel so overwhelmed right now because i just found out about this a few hours ago. i was stunned. i havent seen her in a while, but we do talk.

so would it be wrong to talk with her over the internet or phone? i just need to know if it would be inappropriate.

Okay here is the scoop.

I am what you say clinically depressed the lexapro 20 mg isnt working and I have highs and lows. It is not extreme. I have had suicidal thoughts and next be happy with life. Dont believe me read my questions. It is the suicide thought that scare me. I really dont want to die but it is thought in my head. I have read the symptoms.l identify with the talking to fast sometimes and the spending. I also identify with the manic depressive side like the not caring to get out of bed sometimes and a genreal not caring about how I look. I will see my doctor in Mid may and tell him this but I just want some opinions about this.

My bestfriend died last year when I was 13. I miss her so much, I can't even explain the loneliness that I have been dealing with. I ache to talk to her about everything thats been going on, I want to be able to hear her voice, and have another sleep over with her. I cry every night for her. Will this pain ever go away? I feel like I will never be free from this heart ache.

I have to present my project in class alone and I am worried about that. The reason being is because i get a red face, shakey voice and hands, and sweaty palms when Im presenting. Now I always remind myself that i am a confident person and that I know all these kids and have talked to them so there is no reason to be like this. I would be fine presenting if it wasnt for the sweaty palms, red face, shakey voice and hands thing. How can I control this from not happening ??

My dearest friend has been dealing with bouts of depression. He is unsure of what they are caused by. He will have a perfectly great moment then suddenly without any outside trigger he plummets into a depression that could last a couple of hours of up to a week, then he will be fine again for a couple of days. He doesnt know why this occurs and when it does I find it that not irritating him with questions and allowing him to snap out of it is the best course, but I want to help him overcome this bouts. Please Help.

I have had a relationship with a woman who kept pushing me away but at the same time she would pull me in. Now that the relationship is over and she is married she wants to be close to me and be friends. But she tells me that if the friendship can not be true then why put out the effort. A friend of mine told me she may have BPD. What is BPD???
