i have a friend who is delusional. interprets things in such a way that other's wouldn't be able to understand. he feels like everyone is going against him. his job is out to fire him and his school is out to make him unsuccessful. he gets depressed and thinks worse case scenarios and has anxiety attacks. an extreme "what if" person. he also is very impulsive. he does things that he completely regrets after and he puts himself under more stress. also, at times, he can be so happy and quite anxious about life and he drives fast when we go out and does crazy stunts as well. sometimes, it gets to the point where he can't sit still, talks fast and i can't understand him. it's like he's an emotional wreck. he says something is wrong with him, he's not himself and i definitely recognize it too. could he have a mental illness?

I'm planning on becoming a police officer after HS, and know as a fact that they will not accept me with this problem....How will I supposed to serve and protect when all I do stutter.....

Does anyone have any advice, on how to stop this terrible problem....It's destroying me rep as well as my life !

What do you do when you feel depressed?? I only want people to answer if they seriously have ever been depressed, not just pious people who think they have the right cheeky answers. I get depressed alot but I do NOT want to take medication because then medication will run my life. I just want to be able to cope.

I am one of those types of people who has few if any friends, never had a girlfriend and never had sex. I'm in my early 30's, so I'm pretty much a loser by society's definition of a loser. I didn't choose the fear of social situations. I think that my uneasiness shows and people just don't want to get to know me so then I feel more depressed and a vicious cycle is created. I am an extremely lonely person and I feel as if everyone is better than I am. Maybe I feel that way because I really am a loser. I probably have about 50 years left on this earth. When I die and go to heaven, will all of these bad feelings I have go away and will I finally be able to connect with people there? I feel like nothing is ever going to change on this side of the grave.

I am doing some research for a paper. So, please respond with this in mind. The facts indicate that many homeless people are afflicted with a mental health issue. Let's call them MILPs for short (Mentally Ill Homeless Persons).
My proposal is to ask for voluntary registration from MILPs who visit homeless shelters nationwide and ask they would be willing to register under this program over a five year period. The idea is that many MILPs are transients by nature, and that they may be hurting themselves by not getting access to many of our Country's social services timely because they have to open and close welfare cases, or contact Social Security with constant address changes to get uniterrupted assistance. By registering for this program, they might be able to get the much need support they require in order to stay off the streets longer and receive treatment appropriate to their condition without becoming a burden on local populations for emergency-type services. Thoughts?

Ladies and gentleman, my Christian sisters and brotherss. Thank you for understanding and accepting my Mental condition. Although I don't see how reporting something that you don't like fixes things, please understand that the following is only an example of the type of question that gets reported. I partly understand why you do it, it is to save my soul... But I have sold my soul a long time ago, so that will prove pretty futile. I do however thank you for caring that I am going to hell. Thank you again and I hope you truly understand and forgive.

what is it, are they badly educated? Or do they simply don't want to see the FACTS? And fact is: some people do recover from schizophrenia and live productive, healthy lives without medication and without having symptoms of schizophrenia! That is a FACT.

The rumbling noises in my tummy are telling me I should eat something but I don’t want to. I feel sick inside.
The dark circles underneath my eyes are telling me I should sleep but I can't seem to sleep when I do I seem to wake up just as tired.
My muscles are aching telling me to stop running stop excerising so much, I can’t seem to find another way to cope with my sadness.
The voices in my head are arguing interrupting my thoughts. Because of them I feel paranoid I don’t know who I am any more I don’t know who to listen to.
The quivering of my voice indicates I am not used to talking to others.
My heart and my soul are just begging to be held right now but no ones here to hold me.
So I have to go on alone.
In my desperation I do not know who I am? I feel shame and I feel guilt mixed with immense fear and sadness.
I know that when someone notices me when they talk to me. I don’t feel so sad anymore and suddenly life all seems worth while.
I wish I wasnt alone now.

Since the supporters of vaccines = autism have been getting their collective behinds handed to them since the Autism Omnibus trial started a couple of weeks ago, I am left to wonder - what will now be blamed for their children's condition?

I am happy to see science prevail and at the same time, illustrate the absurdity of their "desperation for compensation".
Of course, when they lose, they'll go to the conspiracy well one more time and claim that big pharma now runs the judicial system.

Will we ever reach the day when autistics are respected and not trotted out as objects to be pitied? Will we reach a day when they are looked at as equal human beings - not mysterious beings for society to hang its prejudices upon?

I hope I'm still alive to see that day.

In the meantime, a new "cause" of autism will no doubt emerge. I wouldn't be suprised if its blamed on global warming - just like everything else we can't explain.

What are your thoughts?

I know that this question has been asked many times, but the answer is different for everyone. My boyfriend is a true alcoholic. We were together for a couple years and broke up because of his drinking ( I was pregnant with our child). We got back together 6 months ago. When he asked to get back together he told me that his drinking had slowed because of his care for our child. Now I can see that it hasn't. He has to drink from the time that he gets off of work until he passes out and on the weekends he starts drinking by noon. He is not violent (yet) when he drinks. I'm just very concerned for him because his whole family is full of alcoholics and they drink themselves into alot of debt. He never has money and works at a very highly paying job. He doesn't think that he has a problem and will not admit it. He keeps asking me to marry him & move back in together, but I keep telling him that I will not until the drinking slows. Also he always makes excuses for his drinking

I have been at my job for almost 10 months now and worry about losing it all of the time. I suffer from PTSD, sever depression and bipolar disorder. I go to therapy and am trying to get my life back on track... but becuase there are some days I have a flash backs, panic attacks or am just too depressed to finish out the work day (no more than once every three weeks) I am freaked because if I loose my job I loose all of the great work I have done over the last year. I will qualify for FMLA in a few months, but I don't know if I will last that long. Does anybody have any advice or resources that might help me keep my job or stay on the right track?

My 3 year old son was killed in an automobile accident two years ago. I am coping with the death and have had counseling to do so. However, how do you deal with the guilt of being responsible for their death? I was only 10 feet away and because I didn't look twice my son is gone. So I feel a lot of guilt. Any suggestions?

I find it odd that the same people who cried for justice after september 11th seem to have forgotten the whole reason for the war on terrorism. There use to be sayings such as "United we stand", "God bless America" and "love it or leave it" on every grocery store and tavern sign. Now we have people marching on the capital protesting the war. It's as if we've forgotten sitting in front of the t.v. sets that Tuesday morning and watching our country being attacked by a bunch of cowardly b*****ds. Have we forgotten the roar of the crumbeling towers? The smoke rising from the Pentagon? The smoldering ashes of flight 93? The hundreds of Americans whose innocent blood was shed so that the terrorist could make a statement! Those same ones who chanted USA and demanded for war now back out on their president and leave him standing alone. They criticize him and claim that he is the reason so many of our soldiers have died. Have we forgotten?
