If you have ADHD or know about it, maybe you can help. I tend to hyperfocus A LOT. Even when I'm tired. Problem is that I feel the need to hyperfocus even if I'm tired. What I do is surf the web since it offers a paradoxical situation: you can hyperfocus while surfing it, but you don't need much mental effort to absorb the information--perfect when my mind is too tired. Some people can zone out on TV to relax, but that's too passive for me--I can't just sit back and watch; makes me toofidgity. But I'm hurting my hands and not getting the rest I need. Any strategies to channel the need for FOCUS despite being mentally/physically tired so I don't damage myself? (I'm prescribed adderall which is great for not spacing out, but doesn't help my compulsion to focus). Any new meds or therapy or suggestions for me to try.

My hubby and I have been married 4 years. We have no kids and have been trying for almost a year. He's taking medicine for depression for PTSD/anxiety/epilepsy due to a severe head injury a couple of years ago. (Problems have stemmed from adding an anti-depressant recently.)

Anyhow, we've tried about 10 different medications, but each had the same side effect. ** TMI WARNING **He is able to get an erection but unable to ejaculate. I know it's nothing else, because the problems start day 1 of taking the medicine. Then we would stop it, wait a week, and try another medicine. Same thing- first day, same problem. He is so hypersensitive to medications, and gets a lot of side affects.

I just lost my father, and my mother committed suicide in '03 after a decade long battle with M.S. A baby would really fill a void inside of me and would complete our family. It's been all I can think of for almost a year now.

I have PTSD, chronic grief and depression. I have counselling. I have been taking Cipralex for 2 wks now. This morning I feel so bad that I don't feel I deserve to ever be happy again and everything that has happened to me in the past is my own fault. I am stuck in the house because I have injured my leg, so I can't even go for a drive in my car or walk.

Do you ever feel like this? Do things ever get better or do they always keep getting worse? I don't feel like there is any way back up. Do you have any tips?

They were diagnosed with depression about 5years ago. Have been through lots (rape, abuse, loss of close ones etc). Have tried everything- medication, therapy, moving away from the problem center etc.

But nothing improves. What is next? Is there anymore that can be done?

(no religious answers please)

I'm a front end supervisor at my work and there's this new lady who works there. I think she may be bipolar. When she asks anyone a question and they answer, she'll keep asking the same thing over and over. For example, she asked me if it was ok if she takes her break at a certain time from now on. I told her it was okay and she asked me the same thing again. I told her yes, and she kept saying "Yes, it's okay?" again and again than she said "Yes I can?, I can, C-A-N, Can?" Then she started to have a break down and said she's having difficulty concentrating and asked again "I can?, Yes?, C-A-N?" she even wrote "can" on her hand with a pen. Then she went upstairs than come running back downstairs pulling at her hair obviously frustrated and said "Yes I can? Say yes. I can, yes?" Well she finally actually went on her break. Then said that she just took her meds cause she forgot to earlier, she finally calmed down for the rest of the night and was quiet. Is this bipolar disorder?

Ive been cutting for 3 years...and just last week i told my mom about it. She wants to get me counseling for the cutting, but i think i may have depression, and thinkin i have that makes me even more depressed...My life has been going downhill for a long time, im always sad, but i dont usually show it when im around people, im tired of crying myself to sleep, im tired of it all.....1 year ago, i almost made the life ending mistake of killing myself...i had the knife and everything, but then i sat down and realized what i was doing

I just dont know what to do, i dont want to talk to my mom about it because it makes it really uncomfortable, so i just dont know what to do

THis isnt really a question, i just want to know if there is anyone who relates to me, and what should i do, get counseling, talk to my mom, or just try to work things out with myself. If i get counseling, that means my dad will have to find out, and i know this is so stupid, but me and him dont ahve a good ...

There's this young lady, who has touched me, trusts me, has me do everything for her at work, when she does work with me,. And when she does see me, she try's to touch me at some point, and she gives me this eye contact, that leads me to think, that she likes me,. And she doesn't know me,. We work different shifts, her early morning, me late at night,. I only, or should I say, we only see eachother, when she fills in for someone else on the night shift,. And I kind of wanna ask her out,. but I heard she has this, or a friend, and I don't want to ask around if she has a boyfriend,. but even with that friend, she touches me, and gives me this eye contact,. So what should I do,.? But I heard that friend she has, was more than a year ago I think,. but I didn't ask about that, or him,.

would it be possible that sex offenders, that like children, are born that way also? We always say it's sick like a disease(i truly don't approve ) but can we come to conclusion that people are born this way? Like how people are born attracted to the same sex or the opposite sex.

I'm going to go see a counselor at the school counseling center about feeling depressed all the time. I thnk I should tell the counselor about my tendency to want to hurt people when I see them. I'm going to tell the counselor that when I see people I have a tendency to want to hurt them. Both verbally and physically. I'm just afraid if I tell the counselor the counselor will put me in the hospital. Can the counselor put me in the hospital if I tell him/her that?

i'm tired of life. i'm just 25 but i'm sick and tired of it. not that i want to commit suicide or anythin, just fed up with the same routine. i have done a lot of travelling and seen more countries than i care for. everywhere its the same rat race and the same bullshit... i am so pissed these days i am afraid i may end up beating someone.
i dont know what i am looking for, and that makes it even more frustrating
the worst part is i am a doctor, but sometimes i feel so uncharitable its hard to deal with the patients... i am tired of hearing the same old hash about the noblest job on earth and other such crap. i thought of approaching our hosp counselor but that chap's totally gay, and if there's 1 thing i hate more than my life, its the fairies and fags of the world
now, what shud i do? where shud i go? and by the way, is there any other resident with similar views?? wud luv to meet

help me and thou shalt be blessed
