my best friend is depressed for her parents are overseas for a couple weeks.
That means she has to do EVERYTHING on her own right now. She has told me she feels terribly LONELY.

What can I do so she can feel relieved???

I get so discouraged sometimes. The bills keep coming, my apartment is still a mess, and I'm struggling to control my eating habits. All I can seem to do is run away from the problem. I wish I could find a way out of this funk I'm in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

is it good to chat about it everyday on the computer with people who have the same thing, or should someone just go and live. I have an Aunt who has lukemia and all she does is chat online with people who have the same thing all day, everyday. I think it will probaly bring her down and make it worse becuase I beleive the power of the mind can cure anything.

I have a huge, 6 hour exam tomorrow (Saturday June 2nd). Yesterday I felt great and was able to read and understand everything and felt very confident about the test.

Last night I woke up 4 or 5 times during the night because of a lot of different noises in the house. Today I feel like a zombie and have been trying to review the information but I just don't register anything I read and can't remember or put anything together.

Aside from trying to get to bed early and sleep the whole night tonight, what else can I do to think clearly? I've been trying to review today but I can't can't do it.

I went to counseling today, & I was talking about my family issues. I'm an adult, & I moved in town to only discover that my brother just figured he can use someone to pay all his bills. Also he hasn't changed from being abusive like he used to be. I thought he would've changed over the years.

My counselor tries to encourage me to sit here & ALLOW him to use me & dog me out just because I'm in his house. & when I tell her about how he beats on & yells at me & treats me like a slave & takes all my money, she tells me to ignore that. She said I HAVE to do what he tells me to do, REGARDLESS because it's HIS house. It can't be too much of his house if he only sleeps here 2x/week & has ME paying all the bills. So that means if he tells me to drink out the toilet, I BETTER do it, right? Hmm...Sigh!

I have a 14 year old brother, and he has been telling my mom he is depressed. She has him in counsling and they have decited to have him start going 2 times a week over the summer. He talked to me about it the other night and he seems to be using the word "I so depressed or I am depressed right now" My mom also feels like he has an eating disorder. Is there anyway I can ask him these things and find out what he needs for us to do to help him. Is this an age thing?

such as TV or conversations. I do however find it VERY difficult when I try to get work done. Just before I wrote this, I got up to go do something in my room, and when I got there, I had forgotten what it was. I remembered a few minutes later, but still...Also, its nearly impossible for me to keep my house clean, as I start cleaning, and then stop and go do something else. Unless I know someone is coming over and I have a very limited time, I don't finish. Its the same with work. If I start on a project in the morning, its still there in the afternoon. What's wrong? ADD? Are there some herbs or something that I can take? This is really getting hard to live with, as I am not happy with my (lack of) production on a day to day basis.

jobs that i have worked hard on might come back for me to change something, or a supervisor might say i need to ask someone else something rather than the person that i did ask everyone goes through this sort of thing everyday in my work but for some unknown reason when people say it to me i burst into tears

i feel so silly my supervisor is understanding but to what extent can she handle it and when can they say enough is enough

Hi:

People who are asking questions that list multi psych diagnoses(maybe more than 2 or 3) are being well, I am not ridiculed is the correct word. I think a little too harsh maybe, but I hope you are understanding what I am trying to convey.

I have just read 2 postings that had responses make me feel badly for the person asking the question. It actually happened to me the other night and I was a little upset. I can only speak for myself and not others, but I felt belittled in my knowledge in general, knowledge in myself, knowledge in that I do not have a grasp on my illnesses because they never hear of someone with more than 2 maybe 3 psych issues and I should check with my physician and if my physician agrees with the multi diagnoses then I need a new doc because he is obviously wrong.

Awhile back in November my parents took away my computer for semi-bad grades. They said it was a bad influence on me and was starting to keep me from my studies. Now, that may have been true, but my computer was my main 'source' of fun. I would IM, play MMORPGs, write stories, type up homework, photoshop things for fun, watch movies, etc. Now that they've taken it away, it feels even harder to concentrate of my studies and since my grades haven't been rising, they've kept me off it. I feel stressed out since they have done this, and have told them several times. They just say that if my grades go up, then I can have it back. But I can't concentrate since it is gone. This has been going on for around seven months, can someone please help me?

Lately I have been full of stress and anger. I feel clouded and held back. It has led to finicial problems due to the excessive unnecessary spending I have been making to try and keep myself occupied. I have been on Yahoo Answers to help other people answer their questions to hopefully figure myself out but its not going so well. I am in the military and havent taken a day off since December 2005. I try to focus my aggression and stress towards something productive such as weightlifting. Also I have been playing on a Softball team but even that has become stressful to me because I play to win not lose. I feel like I am going in a downward spiral and often find myself snapping with extreme anger and hate. Am I literally going insane to the point where I cant control myself? Id prefer not to see a psychologist again because I have seen one before and she was all doped up on prescription drugs. Any advice would help.
