actually do similar acts willingly to see if they like them and not relive the situation, because it is their own will/desire? Could this be a bad decision? The person in ? has gone through the denial, anger, feelings of guilt, etc. They have forgiven. They just want to make their own decisions. Or is there some reason they would do this that is a sub-concious symptom of PTSD, and they just don't realise it? Thank you.

I am on 150mg and will be increased to 300mg in a week. Has anyone out there had a good experience with this drug? How long does it take to kick in? I am depressed to the point of not wanting to do anything right now. Will things gradually get better?

I've had slight depression for a few years now and finally got up the nerve to actually go talk to someone about it. I really don't want to ask anyone for recommendations because this is private for me. How do I find a good couselor without just picking one out of the phone book , especially when the insurance company is unable to make any recommendations?

I have not been diagnosed yet or anything but the descriptions of this disorder fit me almost exactly. Especially feeling abandoned & unloved to an overwhelming degree because of minor things. I got it in my head that my husband didnt love me therefore I should not love him. So I treated him like dirt even though I still loved him to death. I made him so miserable that he left me & he says he needs time to think things through to decide if he will come back. I'm trying to get counseling but its not easy where I live. I guess I just need to know if I should even hold on to any hope that I can get treatment and save my marriage. My husband is a wonderful man who does not deserve the way I have treated him & what he has had to put up with from me.

What is going on...?
Lately I have been dragging pretty bad, I get about 6-7 Hours of sleep, drink plenty of water...eat the right foods but for some reason I feel like I am dragging especially when it comes to work...I have always been such a hard worker but it seems that whenever I step into the place where I work I instantly get tierd and don't want to do anything at all...I don't know what it could be...some people recommended that I need a change of job, what do you think it could be...

Let me add...I take vitamins every day and work out 5 nights a week...

Okay here's how I've been feeling lately:

The world seems to be closing in on me. There's no way out. I have friends in difficult situations and feel awful that I can't help. I hide my feelings from my parents, because I don't want them to worry about me, but at the same time I seek help from one good friends. I get this pressure in my chest whenever I think about the hard things I've gone through in my life, even though I'm so young. (e.g. Parents divorced when I was seven, Uncle Molested me when I was very young, Held back in fifth grde, I hardly ever see my dad, I cry a lot over little things) I am very emotional and listen to music like Evanescence and Nickleback. I thought of suicide, but know I would never attempt it. I cut at my heels and the bottom of my feet so no one knows what I do. i constantly worry about my current situation and have problems calming down. I don't want to be put on anti-depressants because thats just artificial happiness.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hi,

I am currrently seeing my doctor weekly for depression amongst other things, we are trying to sort out meds and she wants me to see a psychiatrist...I know those of you who read this and who have never suffered probably already have labelled me as a nutcase, but it can happen to anyone, trust me( well maybe)..
anyway because i have been having suicidal thoughts and told my doctor my plan she was going to tell my parents, as my plan involved using something they owned...even though i am 20 years old. I am getting closer and closer to doing it and i don't know whether to say or not, i DONT want my parents knowing as it would make everything 50 million times worse (honestly) ....how can i be honest without getting my confidence broke and then feeling i have no where to turn??

please only understanding answers, hurtful answers help no one.

After having gone thru all that I have managed to get married to a good man in all area's except he has a Traumatic Brain injury. And have become the mother of a wonderful 4 year old boy who has ADHD and sensory deficiancy's.

I know most people say that an alcoholic has to be able to want to change in order for them to actually change. But, I was thinking, isnt it possible to use LSD to brainwash my dad into not wanting to drink? Timothy Leary found that LSD allows people to reimprint their brain, with his experiment with jailmates, and how 80% of them changed their way of life. Can the same happen with alcoholics?

I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 6 months ago. After living my whole life knowing something was wrong, I was relieved to finally have a diagnosis. I am taking Effexor in the morning 225 mg and 400 mg of Seroquel at night. Here is my problem, I can't seem to recall how I felt before I started taking the meds. It is a very frustrating feeling. I almost feel like I should get off the meds and that way I can chart my moods and find out for sure if I was diagnosed correctly. Has any one else felt this way and what were your actions? I started being concerned once I read about all the side effects of Seroquel. Maybe I am just being a hypochondriac??

I need to find someone to talk to about my anxiety which is getting worse by the day but I dont want to travel to far from where I live. A doctor who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy would be best for me.

To anyone who's had problems with either... I was wondering if you could share what it felt like.

I'm feeling weird, and nervous about what it is. My chest seems tight, and I feel dizzy and light-headed and unable to concentrate on anything... and just generally kind of anxious. I think mostly about what's wrong with me... anyway, it's uncomfortable and kind of freaking me out. And it's been happening for months.

Does this sound like anxiety? I'm nervous that I'm just being lazy, or... going crazy, or something. I got sexually assaulted in February, so I'm sorta hoping it's just anxiety from that. But I don't know.

Anyway, if anybody'd be up for sharing, or advice, I'd really appreciate it!

I don't even know where to begin with everything that is seriously wrong in my life. Recent events would be that my father, who was my best friend, passed away over this past winter, when I was only 19. I got laid off at my job and the bills are stacking up, I have been dating my GF for over a year now and her father and 3 brothers show me no respect what-so-ever. I have tried everything, I don't do drugs or drink, I am a well respected active member in my community and alot of ppl I know like me. But her father feels the need to badmouth me about everything behind my back since we started dating, and now tonight he was attacking the fact that I wasn't catholic, but a lutheran. I can't take these feelings of hate any longer, I miss my father so much and it seems like there is no hope. I am scared to commit suicide, even though I am a strong believer, I fear being cast into hell. I don't know what to do, please

When you saught help to work through your abuse were you able to find quality help? To me quality help is help that isn't just drugging your feelings away, it is finding a therapist or group that helps you work through and resolve the issue around your abuse that cause you problems in daily life, such as flashbacks, hearing the words of your abusers again and again in your mind, fearing relationships, eating disorders and other self destructive behaviors, etc.

If you found a quality therapist or group, what in your opinon made it quality and helpful? What state and county if in the USA did you find this help in?

Did you pay for private therapy or did you have to go to a county mental health center for help?

If you went to a county mental health center; did the help you received help you work through and permanantly resolve issues that were affecting you from the abuse?

Where you drugged and hospitalized without progressing?

What to you is successful therapy?
