I've always been a bit of a p!sshead! I drink on average 3-4 pints a day. However, one day (per month) if i decide to go over the top i'll just go crazy! This didn't happen before? I'll get 3 hour blanks in my memory the next day! Earlier this year I got into trouble with the police because of my little "werewolf" trick... Latest one was in a staff party (how embarrassing?) and i don't even know what i did? People just been looking at me funny! I don't know what to do!! Obviously i can't binge anymore, but should i see counseling over this? I am normally a very calm, charming, well behaved person and this is terrifying me. I'll end up in jail or in hospital or worse

Recently I have been considering suicide because i've been overwhelmed with money and social issues. I don't believe I am depressed. I'm 19 and my mother wants me to move out but I just quit my job and it's been hard for me to find another. I feel as if she sees me as a failure. I also don't have a social life what so ever and people just aren't attracted to my personality no matter how pleasant I am. I have no hope in things getting better and I haven't had good times since early childhood. Sometimes I question my purpose here on earth.
But I am scared that any method of suicide will be painful and I don't want to regret it. I know life is a precious gift and I'm apprecative of my good health but I am not happy at all. I wish I could be someone else. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (please NO HOTLINE #s or psychiatric referrals)

to help recover from a traumatic past experience, or is visiting a regular psychotherapist a better option? I have heard hypnotherapy has helped people quit smoking. I'm not sure about other deeper psychological issues.

I'm 21. My little brother and I are 10 months apart. When he was 15 he changed and then we found out that he was schizophrenic. He started hearing voices, basically he went crazy and has never been the same. It's sad and it breaks my heart. He started being violent sometimes and he turns to drugs to make himself feel better (when really it makes him worse) He can't be social with people because he is scared of people. He always thinks that someone is going to hurt him. He sits in his room all day and never does anything. It's horrible. He can't work, he can't drive, he can't spell, he can't read. He is on medicine for all of this... and the medicine helps calm him down and not have episodes. But it does not make him all better. He is still on my parents insurance, but he wont be forever. What can we do to get help? Is there disability? Some kind of program? What if my parents die and I can't afford to take care of him? Is there a program that can help me pay for medicine?

It always seems like whenever a person is happy with good, healthy self-esteem, there's always a crap load of people who try to bring them down and call them ugly and make them feel bad about themselves. But the minute that a person is unhappy and feels crappy about themselves, there are always people out there trying to bring them up. Aren't we supposed to love ourselves? If we don't, then who will? Why is it that in human nature, we can't stand to see others genuinely happy? And when they are feeling down, we try to bring them up? How is one supposed to feel about themselves? Average?

I let so many stupid things and stupid people get to me. The reason why I've got low self-esteem is because when I was in high school, there were these guys who called me ugly all the time, even on my very first day there! They made me feel awful! And ever since then, my self-esteem has really been low. I don't know how to raise it up again, so I won't be so vulnerable. What can I do to love myself and feel good about myself and have more pride and self-esteem?

If she has a pre-existing mood disorder, why wasn't she treated for it before? Her partying would suggest she does not because alcohol and heavy drugs would make her crash, and she's been going strong for a long time. If she's suddenly suicidal, wouldn't it make more sense to treat her with antidepressants than pull her out of jail? Me-thinks she's playing her cards to manipulate the system.

I have anxiety / panic attacks every now and then. And i always think that i'll die. But at times when i don't have it, i might think of my previous panic attacks and wonder when the next one will be. I get so worried and depressed after thinking continuously about it. I fear that i'll end up in the mental hospital. From there, i would always think of the possibility of admitting into it and never be able to be sane again. I think, I fear, i think , i fear. Sometimes, im so engrossed in thinking about that, that I'm unable to control my thoughts and just fall into depression and let negative thoughts overwhelm me. I dont' wanna stay this way forever. Does anyone else feels or have felt this way before? How did you overcome it? (postitive comments please) Thank You.

I have anxiety disorder and get frustrated and anxious easily. Because of that, my heart beat rate increase as a result and many a times, it takes a long time to slow down. But even so, after slowing down, it is still considered quite fast. I always fear of getting a heart attack as a result. Is there any way that is fast and efficient in slowing down my heartbeat rate whenever i have an anxiety attack? Does anyone else have this?
