A relative has been a raging alcoholic for about 10 years now. Example: In April she spent £880 in Bargain Booze! She has been in numerous drying out clinics and received all the relevant treatments but as soon as she is back home she drinks herself into oblivion. She seemingly doesnt want to stop drinking, but myself and other relatives want to try to help her to stop - with or without her cooperation. Recently, my mum and I have spent many hours decorating her new council bungalow and furnishing in a very homely way (her old flat stank of wee & poo (yak)) and being with her alot to prevent loneliness. She has carers going in twice a day every day as she has difficulty getting around. She has been out of her latest stint in respite for about 3 weeks and has already spent £130 on booze.... wee'd all over the bungalow and sh*t herself numerous times. The place was a sh*t hole... literally.

Ok but I think my ex is really depressed, first her parents and her do not get along then her favorite aunt is getting deported and now her best friend had to go back to peru cause her student visa ran out and she doesnt think she will ever see her again. Now all she does is hang out with the wrong crowd and she says she has no idea what she is doing in life. Its hard for me cause im the best influence on her life but she just acts so strange now and im scared she might like Od on something she is only 19 so i know thats alot to deal with at young age. Should I be aggresive and step in to help her to get her life on track or should i just let her come to her senses by herself???

Its hard cause I heard depression effects judgment and makes u not want to hang with people ur close to and i think thats why me and her dont talk as much and stuff anymore.

Whether it be online, or in real life where could someone get help for alcoholism? Would a VA hospital be okay if you are a veteran?

Right now, I am going through something that has happens with me so frequently... almost nightly. Suddenly, after feeling lethargic and depressed for most of the day, around late night, I start getting this mountain of energy... but at the same time, I get anxious and scared because I feel as if I'm losing my mind. My head becomes slightly lightheaded, but I can't stop pacing the floors because of this energy. Sometimes I have to blast music and play air guitar or something - and I get into this delusion sometime that it's me playing - to release the energy, while still feeling as if I'm losing my mind. When I get like this, I lose almost all of my concentration and procrastinate big time. I have a paper due today and I cannot finish it, because it feels as if my attention span has been taken away since I got into this state about a couple of hours ago. I don't feel REALLY excited... just energetic, anxious, kinda paranoid, no attention, and can't stop pacing. Is this a mania?

I really hate to admit, but I am suicidal. Lately i have been having thoughts, I dont know why, but its nothing bad yet (as in, its nothing to worry about now) I want to know what I can do before this becomes a serious problem. As I said, there is no real reason, except i have a lot of drama with 2 particular women, but, not enough to be suicidal, its wierd. There not the problem, there a problem. a love 1, who's taken, and lust for another. Anyways, what can I do? I have been recommended for BP disorder, is that the case? Does anyone think it might go away?

My mood changes from hour to hour. I get angry about nothing. I have a constant fear of being alone. The thought of my husband leaving for even a night to go out of town leaves me feeling abandoned. I find myself trying to detach myself from him sometimes for the fear that he's going to end up hurting me. The least little thing he says or does that rubs me the wrong way leaves me so angry I want to hit him. I have had a problem with alchohol in the past, but have left it alone recently as I'm pregnant. When my emotions get too hard to handle I have long drawn out crying spells and the urge to injure (cut) myself and most usually follow through with it. I feel empty and isolated a lot of the time. I have difficulty keeping friends and the thought of working out in the public frightens me something awful. I have frequent panic attacks that leave me feeling like the world is spinning out of control. I was sexually abused for 10 years as a child. Should I see a therapist???

I think most people are aware of WINTER Seasonal Affective Disorder which causes depression during the winter months when the skies are grey much of the time, but how many are aware some people get severely depressed during hot, summer weather, the kind of weather that MOST people call "beautiful"?

I know it sounds strange but idk if I should seek help or not. Everytime I listen to a heart beat of any kind, my body gets hard and I get excited and aroused. Is this normal or do I have a problem? My heart doesn't race during this but I feel hard everytime I hear a heart beat. Its even worse when the heart beat is very fast.

I have anxiety, I have panic attacks...and I don't think I can do this anymore. I need to talk to somebody, and I want somebody to give me some words of encouragment. I don't know what could be triggering these anxiety attacks...but here is some information...

When did this start?
The anxiety has been going on for about two months, but I have just shrugged it off and moved on. Now it is far worse and sometimes I will just lay awake one morning shaking.
How often does it happen?
Now it has been happening for three days straight, no stopping. The big attacks happen around noon when I am by myself.
Is there something that triggers this?
Nothing that I know of for sure. The last thing that triggered an anxiety attack was somebody mentioning a doctor on one of my questions. I don't wish to go see a doctor, I am not in pain, I just have some little problems.
How long does it last?
Once it starts it continues for about two hours...or until I go to sleep.

(continued)
