Over the course of 3 years I gained 80lbs. I know its alot and now im really working on my weight. Problem is, everything in my life has seemed to shift. Its like me and one of my females friends switched places. I had a good man, good job, nice body, and wasnt happy because i was immature. now i have the knowledge and not the same possessions. I use to get so much male attention, good guys too, now i only can date jerks. Is it just my weight, can weight can really alter your life so badly. or am i cursed. Every turn i make seems to turn out bad. I dont know what to do. I want to be healthly, in all areas of life, have a good relationship when im ready, and free myself from debt. i feel like im losing myself and soon the old me is going to be a distant memory. anyone have any words of insight or ever been in this situation and got out of it?

That is, besides seeing a psychologist, how does one diagnose bipolar disorder? Is there a specificly designed test? Are there unique symptoms to observe? Detailed answers are much appreciated!

I don't know what happened to me during the last few months.
I feel I'm suck and stupid,the worst one in the world. I'm holpless and discouraged.I keep crying and crying everyday without a reason. I don't wanna keep in touch with others and feel irritated all the time.Sometime I don't wanna eat anything and sometime i eat lots and lots.My sleep pattern totally changed as well. I'm too tried to do anything and hard to make decision. I'm afraid of school so start to skip classes. The worst thing is that I can't tell my parents. They are always so busy that haven't got time to listen what i'm saying, I don't even believe they will trust my and I'm not trusting they as well. I really wanna suicide. If you think you can help me, please add my MSN below:

If you do, in what ways?
If not, I'd be interested to know the way you perceive your illness.

I feel like I'm always scared of the stupidest things...I always get scared that someone is in my room at night, or under my bed, or that there is someone in my house that is going to hurt me. I am not 12 years old either, I am 19 years old and I know that I shouldn't be having these fears. My boyfriend is also in the fire academy training to be a firefighter and I'm always so scared that something will happen to him when he's a firefighter and he'll be killed, or severely injured. I don't want to get on any medicine besides natural medications because I know how addicting all that stuff can be, and also bad for your health. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this, and what they are doing about it, or what their suggestions are. Serious advice is welcome. Thankyou.

I have turned to alcohol, benadryl, weed, sex and well anything to distract me from the pain that I have. Now that Im trying to give up everything the pain is almost unbearable. Its kinda like being kicked in the stomach. I cry when I wake up in the morning and I cry on the way to work and I cry when I go to sleep. Does this pain go away? Im trying stop seeing my family for a bit because that is where a lot of the pain comes from and it just makes me realize how empty I feel inside. Also about how little love there is. I dont want to sound like Im complaining its just that I have had this pain ever since i was little.

I mean, what little things can they try to do everyday that will lessen the depression and make recovery faster? E.g. diet, coping with stress, exercise, sleeping habits, having a daily routine, how to be more posistive, how to vent feelings ect.

I guess I consider ECT my final chance at life, and I'm scared because the treatment terrifies me. Coming out of the anesthesia after the treatment, I feel like I've glimpsed a level of Hell, and I panic, even with a shot of ativan. I skipped yesterday's treatment, but am determined to go tomorrow. That will be my 6th treatment, the minimum the doctor wants me to have. I know I probably need more, but the emergence from the anesthesia is so scary that I am non-functional for at least a day.

Please, anyone who can give me advice on the following will be greatly appreciated: How to control my terror coming out of the anesthesia; how to recognize whether the treatments are really working; how to deal with my life at home between treatments, since I am doing it as an outpatient. I know that I need this very badly, but wish that I could see more improvement after the 5 treatments I've had. My husband is very positive. But I don't feel normal, I don't feel like a person..

Along with some other mental problems, I am suffering from trichotillomania. Though many of my problems (all relating to severe anxiety) have been cured or at least subdued to some degree, I still cannot stop pulling out my hair when overstressed. I'm willing to try something new...any suggestions?
