I used to have very weird deja vu type of hallucinations when I was in 8th and 9th grade. I am trying to figure out what they were and why they happend. I think SPS is the best explaination but can SPS occure with childhood absence epilepsy? I believe I had them the most during 7th, 8th, and 9th grade but they stopped and I hope they stop b/c they were rather obtrusive, annoying, and scary.

ive suffered tremendously since 15, ive been through alot of trauma, i have bpd, ptsd and very bad depressions everyday.
im 29 now. ive never had a girlfriend or made any friends in life.
i had dreams, desires and ambitions i wanted to achieve to.
im ageing physically now, im full of rage and anger, im lonely alone and bitter,
and it strikes me as a major injustice,& is very unfair to me to see, people enjoying themselves and their lives. whether it be when i turn on the tv, every channel is filled with people having fun and getting their needs met.
when i look on the internet,at myspace, other sites, its people living their lives to the full.
i feel very angry, bitter and unremorsefull when i see this, because ive been through hell, ive never had my needs met,
and now i have to somehow repair the damage that has been done to me in my life..
im on a waiting list for therapy, but i seriously wonder how it can help when i feel this bad all the time & this angry towards people..

Because I can't afford to pay anymore than I do for the 10 mg tablets so if it doesn't work I'm screwed.

Well I know the placebo effect can't happen cause I have a hard time believing a pill so small can do anything. I look at it and I want to laugh.

This is just a little something I've been wondering about for quite some time. I'm not saying I really want to do that, because I really don't. But I'm rather curious as to what you folks would have to say about it. I feel I should add I've been dealing with mental illness for a number of years now, and was wondering if that would have anything to do with where I go when I pass away. All replies are greatly appreciated, I thank you again in advance.

I have always been extremely afraid of death. I don't know why and I don't know how to get past this fear. I mean everyone dies eventally so I should really try not to be afraid of it right? When I start thinking of what will happen to me once I die, I get shortness of breath and my heart rate picks up. I think I have panic attacks when I think about it. Any advice on how to feel better about death?

If one is to begin seeing a psychiatrist for a suspected personality disorder, will it interfere with getting a job in an airport? Is one required to inform one's future employer that one is seeing a psychiatrist?
Your input is appreciated. Thank you.

I was abused as a child and I've always struggled with feelings of inadequacy and feeling that no one will ever love me. I take anti-depressant and I've had counseling but it doesn't ever seem to help deep down. I'm in my 40's and I have no one special in my life. I'm very attractive but to the point where guys only look at me as a one-time conquest which reenforces my belief that I'm no good. I have interests and keep myself busy but I still have that worthless belief deep down. How do you change what you've known all your life?

I would like to know weather I should listen to an endocrinologist, who is concerned about my diabetes, to take Prozac for binge eating and depression. This doctor believes I am depressed and that I need to be treated, but he is not a psychiatrist. I have a bad sleep pattern, but most of it is self inflicted. I am a bit anxious sometimes when I am not rested. I don't like my current full-time job and I have low self-esteem because I need to lose about 20 pounds to reach my ideal weight. My mother is bi-polar, I take care of her, and I don't have a boyfriend. I am not the happiest person, but will these meds fix me or will they only make me lose my job by adjusting to them and going crazy. Should I wait until I speak to a real psychiatrist and until see wheather my nervousness, anxiety, weakness, and dizziness's is due to physical problems (such as thyroid, iron, and diabetes), or should I try Prozac?? I might be bi-polar. I have no idea and I need help. I am going nuts!

This is really troublesome. I'm going through a severe depression, and I also have symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. I keep obsessing about my own death, and getting very very sad about it. It's insane. I will think about it in vivid detail for a very long time before I even realize what I have been doing.

I think that I feel like all I've done in life has been all for nothing, and so in the sense, I feel like I've died. And the sadness of all that I was, now being nothing, is like the sadness of if I had died. Does that make sense? How can I stop this?

I'm asking because I am officially diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and on loads of meds, my psychiatrist can't understand why my meds aren't helping very much. I fit most of the DSM criteria for BPD and have raised this with my psych doc, he says I'm "too nice" to be a Borderline! I'm wondering whether its possible for Borderlines to be seen as generally "nice" people. I know that the description of BPD fits my symptoms much better than Bipolar, cos alothough I do get quite hyper, its not scary and I'm not really manic per se.

this is terrible, i've been told when i experience a bit of a panic attack to embrace it and go with the panic but also make myself comfortable with it i.e deep breathing, but NOT to fight it as that just makes panic worse, the thing is when i get a panic attack i ALWAYS fight it, my body and mind just wants to stop the feelings and it usually works so how do i just let it happen and stop myself fighting panic?

Remain in "custody" but be able to be treated in a facility that isn't a "jail" but also doesn't allow her to leave.
Basically should she be "committed", if her symptoms are so bad that she can't cope in the jail setting and several people have diagnosed her psycological condition as warranting it?

Ok so my sister is 25, right works full time, yada yada. She has a 7 yeard old finch and a 3 year cockatiel and two parakeets. That stay with her in her room all in seperate cages except for the parakeets. She has a oscar, (huge fish) that she couldnt take care of any more so she had him moved to the basement. She is living at home and is planning on getting a dog now! While my parents have a dog already not to mention a cat! My parents said it would be good for her to get a dog because they feel she is suffering from some depression. My father promised her that she only has to work part time now and just do school full time. Meanwhile, how is she going to have time to take care of another animal when she doesnt take very good care of the ones she has and her room is always a mess! I told my parents if she is suffering from depression all they are doing is avoiding the problem by letting her get another freagen animal! I dont care that she wants to go to school full time.

Its me n' my gf's 1 year anniversary today and last nite and she told me it was the best year of her life cuz of me. I was like wow, but I thought in my mind that she only said that because I thought she was excited to be going out with her friends (not me). I am crazy, to think that! It broke her heart that I said the only reason you said that (best year of her life) was cuz I thought she gonna hang with her friends.

I am a monster sometimes and what is wrong with me? Why do I have these kind of thoughts? And yesterday I was so mad that I drove my car out of the parking lot so fast and reckless that I didnt realize I did it, I had tunnel vision and I got lucky that I didnt hit anyone. I dont remember even looking out for anyone!

And then today I am just crying hysterically and I cannot stop! I cannot breathe! Am I BiPolar? I get depressed sometimes n' then once in a while I do well with no sleep at all. Like memorial day wknd I didnt sleep sun nite at all. THANKYOU!

it's very short.

Then digs and finds blood within.
The wound opens like a mouth
And silently screams out red emotion.
