HI
I am a 19 year old male who suffers from social anxiety disorder/phobia. I don't go out much and do much of anything. Including pleasure work or school "I dropped out of HS". I only have 2 or 3 people who i call friends but even them i don't hang out with very often. I never do things people my age should be doing. Hanging out at the mall..dating...ect... I spend a lot of time alone which is fine with me i have gotten use to it over the years. The only thing I'm worried about is starting work and/or school but the thoughts of leaving my comfort zone and actually doing these things terrify me. Almost to the point where id rather just die then to go threw the anxiety. (hope I'm making some sense here) I don't know where or who to turn to. I do not have the family support that i need (they all think this is just an excuse) and i just really fell trapped. I don't have any money for therapy and medication so there out of the picture for now. So i need any and all advice. PLZ don't judge me & TY.

People who are not depressed almost disturb me. They seem irrational and in denial of what life is really like. It's one thing to be content with life, hell, one can even be content with life and meet all the critera for life, but those who think that's ill? I don't get it.

I have mood swings, maybe it's bipolar, maybe it's just anxiety, who knows, but even in my happiest moments, I don't think depression is so crazed.

They death or near death of others doesn't seem to effect me, I'm just curious if anyone knew the reason why I take death situations so well.

I'm just curious because when my most favorite pet cat died/disappeared I didn't really feel any emotion about it, and when my one dog died, same I didn't feel upset either.

My mom on the other hand was all upset about it and crying about it, and now my one grandma has recently got some type of cancer through genes, which she will die from in 6months to 2years because it isn't curable at its current stage its at, and my mom is extremely upset about it, moreso than my animals.

It just makes me wonder, my mom always gets so upset by deaths, yet for me Its like I'm not upset at all (they don't really take any effect on me), it just seems kind of odd to me I guess :P

i've been depressed for a long time. monday was horrible. but then the next day i felt like a completely different person - i was happy, full of myself, wanting to hurt others (emotionally) and talkative. the only time i feel like talking is when i think i'm better than everyone else. i don't get in that mood often. i guess it's worn out since i'm feeling suicidal right now. oh and i can't get help cause i don't think my parents deserve to know somethings wrong with me.

I think I suffer from anxiety. Sometimes I breathe hard and I am always yawning. Not to mention my panic attacks and my difficulty breathing sometimes. Any way to help me?

I am 19 years old and in college. I started spring semester after taking the first semester off after graduating high school because my anxiety was so bad. I currently take paxil, but have been on about 4 others. they don't really help me much. I got a 3.93 gpa last semester but I am worried about the fall semester coming up. I am really smart and have everything but I feel like a failure and stay home most of the time if I'm not working. I feel better if I know I am making money. I am worried about what I will do for a career because I get anxious and feel sick every time I even think about it. I don't even know what I can do to help myself. I go to a shrink for counseling but it doesn't really help. I feel good sometimes but not much. It is making me really depressed and I am so sick of it. I feel almost like I don't want it to go away though because it always comes back worse after I ignore it for awhile. Any suggestions on what I can do to help myself?

I live in Australia. I was given Risperidone by a psychiatrist to treat mild schizophrenia when I was 16. I continued taking it until I was 21. I am 22 now. I suffered bad side effects from the drug. I was never warned about the side effects of the drug by any of the various psychiatrists that i saw over the years. I beleive the side effects caused me to be angry and violent which ended up with me being put in prison for 9 months. I was wondering if there was any legal action I could take against the pharmeceutical company or Mental Health for not properly warning me of these side effects, especially considering my young age. I can give greater detail to you when you answer this question. Thankyou

For example, a man accidentally causes the death of his child and he can't cope with the guilt so his mind snaps and he believes that something or someone else caused the traumatic event.

Hi:
I very rarely become angry, I get really irritated and so on, but not usually anger. I will try to condense as much as possible...While hubby is gone more than week or 2 on business, I move back into my Grampa's (4 apartments) as part of my safety plan in case I become suicidal as I have in the past (I have a safety contract w/ doc's friends, family). The woman next door has been very close to me(on her part not mine) since I moved back. V-Day when I asked her b/f to come over I offered for financial reasons he could take something in my inventory and use as gift. She then accused me of sleeping with him Thingscomfortable then I offered to b/f to type invoice, HUGE blow out, names I cant repeat threats on my life etc... She has much of my stuff and also owes me money, she is refusing to give anything back. I came home to a note on my door she has nothing of mine...sew mach, brd mach, curtains, cookbks, aromatherapy bks, dishes, $1,500. I am so angry I just want to blow!!!

psychopath? or have i crossed wires, are they two totally different disorders?
could someone with some knowledge explain please?

because im 30, have bpd, and have had a very traumatic life, and ive had long term problems with rage and outbursts and the urge to act out of rage since 19,
but when i do or have done in the past, i feel a great deal of empathy over my actions..
i feel disturbed when i hear about violent acts done by people around the earth and feel empathy for people, ive registered this emotion within, so i no i feel it.

im really worried about my brother, he is 16 and uncontrolable, he has always been really good until about 6 months ago, then he started getting drunk a few times a week, at first my mum and dad would tell him off and ground him and this worked (as it did with me!)but then his best friend killed himself at the end of feb and things have got really bad, he drinks every day (says it is nothing to do with the death) but i not sure? my mum and dad just cant controll him anymore, if they try to ground him he would just laugh and threaten to get more drunk than usual, they are walking on egg shells constantly as they know he has been through so much this year (also just done gcse's) he has been to counceling a couple of times but says it was useless, he knows he can get away with anything (though he would never do anything criminal) we have never had to deal with a suicide before so do not know how best to handle this? anyone elso who has experienced this sort of thing? tried talking to him
