lets say you have a friend or lover. You have a gut feeling they are hiding something from you. They tell you you are paranoid and nuts everytime you bring it up. Then you find out solid evidence and it is true yet they keep continuing to say you are paranoid. Why would they want you to think you were crazy? ''You didnt mention that you know 100 percent they did it'' but you have evidence, still being accused of being paranoid?

One doctor prescribed me .5mg every four hours, but of I course I took 2mg immediately and none for the rest of the day. It helped some but not enough. Another doctor did .25mg twice a day, along with Lexapro. Of course I popped 2mg of the xanax as soon as I got the bottle. I felt relaxed at first, but then the gas pump at cheveron wouldnt coroporate with me so I started kicking it and puching out the advertisment signs on it, so obviously the xanax doesn't work for me. I'm afraid to up the dose because of its additictive qualities, even if I wanted to, its very difficult to get docs to prescribe this in large amounts. I need something much more sedative, more easily prescribed by doctors, less addictive and less withdrawls.

My brother served in Iraq for over a year. When he came home, he had changed. He is afraid of fireworks, he beats on his girlfriend in his sleep, he blacks out and has hallucinations. He was discharged from the marines, "other than honorable" because they found ritalin in his system. He had been on ritalin since he was a child and his recruiter told him NOT to mention it to anyone else, so he didn't. 2 months after he got home, he went missing somewhere between Minnesota and North Carolina. They found him 2 days later, on the side of the railroad tracks hiding in the bushes with mud covered all over his face for camoflage. He has been trying to get help from the VA and they said they may be able to but it could take 5 months. My brother told me he doesn't have 5 months. I'm really worried about him, is there anyone else we can speak to who can help him? He wants to speak to someone who was in Iraq, he won't talk to any of us!

I have read that if a person actually gets tired instead of really wired from caffeine, that this might imply that they have ADHD. When I drink too much, this happens.. but when I drink 1/2 a cup of TEA (which is 1/2 the caffeine of cup of coffee) I am pretty normal although I'm not sure that this amount really helps me concentrate all the more... but I could be wrong.

I do have many of the other symptoms of ADHD... daydream a lot, hard to focus for long periods of time, like novel stimulation, and more that I don't have time to list here. Because of this, I might go on Aderall or something simmilar, but want to make sure it would work.

I came up with something: I think about how I'm feeling way too often. Sometimes, I'll sit and feel sorry for myself and put off actual chores for hours because I go eat or do something dumb. If I found a way to focus on just getting things done, maybe I'd see some progress. Course, this also has to do a little bit with depression. It's a little difficult to not focus on feeling awful all the time, so I need to find a way to counteract this too. What are your tips on staying motivated?

i am 19 years old living in the uk. I am a apprentice joiner and currently work for a small firm consisting of me and my 2 bosses.
For the past 2/3 months i have being feeling very stressed & down. Im constantly aching, getting sharp pains in my head, and have alot of negative thinking, and at my age this can not be good, so i decided to make an appointment at my doctors and sort this out.
I really want to quit my job as i cant stand being there anymore, even though i have 2 bosses, its just the one of them that is the problem. Its constant name-calling(being called thick) told i wont make it in the trade and even a bit of physical (hitting on head, punching in ribs). He seems to think hes being funny but i cant stand up 2 him and as my 2 bosses r best friends, i cant talk to the other one. I have applied to other companies, but im really desprate to leave, but moneys the problem (phone bills, holiday in 8 weeks, socialising). Answers will be much appreciated. thank you.

Someone I know is very mentally ill. She has no family and no real friends. She isolates herself & rarely leaves her home as she is afraid of almost everything. She is so ill that she can not financially take care of herself. She is in a realy bad way. I am in no position to help her & really have no idea of what help is out there. Is there any organization that can help someone in her shoes? She needs: serious mental illness help, which she is getting through the state, but they are so bogged down with people that it is like no help at all. She also needs serious financial help to get herself back on her feet. She gets some food stamps, but not enough & was denied for disability. I fear for her safety. Is there anyone who has any thoughts on ways to help her MOSTLY financially? I think if she could get some help in this manner, she could start to stop stressing out so much and work towards her recovery instead of trying to find a job that she cannot actually do anyway. THX

I am depressed. I don't have any friends or family. I also have little money, so I can't afford a counselor.

I am NOT religious, and do not want to go to any religious person.

Is there any websites out there that can offer me advice to get over depression and loneliness? I have no one.

I'm 17 years old. I've been doing research lately on depression because I experience many of the symptoms associated with it and they have been taking a severe toll on life for years now, my school work and my home life are suffering immensely. I just can't sit down and do any work when I know I need to. I feel like I have to escape it and always put it off. I feel sad a lot of the time, lonely, undeserving, ugly. Some nights I get 2 hours of sleep sometimes I'll sleep all day, no matter what I'm always tired. It seems too often I cry myself to sleep. I used to wish I brave enough to end it all. These thoughts thankfully have not been present for about a year and there ARE times I still feel happy,I laugh with my friends,I like going out with my boyfriend. 3months ago I was diagnosed with mono, the symptoms are only getting worse. I don't know whether I'm going through the things that every teenager goes through and being over dramatic or there's really something wrong. Your thoughts?

After a night of drinking, even if i'm only having 1 or 2 glasses of wine with dinner, i always feel this nagging, deep guilty feeling in the pit of my stomach, like i did something wrong even though i'm old enough to drink i was just out having a good time with friends or family. i always go over the whole previous night in my head over and over again and analyze every detail of everything that happened throughout the course of the night, and every single person i interacted with and what the conversation was and what i think it meant. i'm always so paranoid the next day that people are going to talk about me. i know that alochol is a depressant and people usually feel sluggish and a little bit more down than usual the next day, but for me it's different i feel as if im paralyzed by guilt and i can't function normally the next day. i'd like to be able to go out and have a good time without feeling this way the next day. does anyone else have this problem?
