I feel like the dumbest person in the world. I'm not crazy about cell phones and I do not want a bunch of friends. Does this mean I'm screwed up? I feel different from most everybody else I know. Is this normal? I do not know what to do I feel like such a weird, strange person. I feel like I'm not good enough so I try to make up for my insecurities by doing computer animation in a program called Maya. But whenever I show other people my work I can't handle any criticism. Is this normal or am I the most messed up people ever?

I'm not sure if the Lamictal has balanced me out some or I'm just a happier person lately. I've noticed a huge difference on the Lamictal though. Like, the Lamictal has definitely helped me with Bipolar II. I'm 200 mgs. currently, but does it really help my moods even when I'm drunk?

I went out with this guy 3 times. We broke up for the last time in february. Ever since he's been on my case about everything. I always thought he was weird. He always tells me about respect even though he is the most disrespectful person I've ever met. He thinks he is some ancient warrior who is 5000 years old. He's a freak. Today we were talking, and he of course tried to be all I-know-it-all with me. He said that if I smoke I will have lung cancer(for sure), and I'll be on oxygen mask before 30. He also said that I will die of marijuana, and everyonone knows that marijuana doesn't kill. We were also talking about police and he asked me " would you like it if someone flipped you off?" I said " I WOULDN'T like to be hit with one of those sticks either but they still do it" Since he thinks he is so smart and knows ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. He thinks he's a genious.Well anyways he thought I said I WOULD, and was all like so you like violence. I always thoughtyou were a little weird!

A little weird? This guy truly believes he's an ancient warrior who is 5000 years old. I started to get mad, and he was like "whatever, i don't want anything to do with you" I got even more mad. I never mentioned I wanted anything to do with him, so what gave him the idea? In fact, he was the one that messaged me. He also has no respect for women. He said that it's a woman's JOB to make babies. WTF? Ok what the hell is this guy's problem? Should ignorant people like him even exist. This is the only case where I think that his mom should've aborted him. Otherwise I'm against abortion.

Hi everyone. I know it's kinda stupid asking people on here about this, i doubt there are many doctors, but i need oppinions. I was born with a birthmark on my face. which isnt horrible but still bothers me alot. It is light purple and it covers the whole left side of my face.I think it makes me really ugly. I only have one friend. And i feel that he only hangs with me because no one does and he feels pitty for me. I feel that everyone treats me differnt then they do others. I feel like people doesnt consider me as good as other people and this really hurts me. People talk to me once in a while but when other people are around its like im not even there. Sometimes im happy and im able to overlook it, but when i see people doing something and communicated with others and pretending like im not there. i instantly get really mad inside and i wanna quit whatever im doing. whether it be my job or whatever and i want to just tell everyone to go to hell and go out and kill myself. any help?

My step-son needs mental help, he has Schizophrenia and other mental health problems. depression, drug addiction, learning disability, sleep problems, insomnia, ... Paranoid
But the problem is that he is in Jail and the state will not offer help if he is in Jail, because it is a state law. Now my real question is does anyone out there know of places, or Organizations that may offer help, my husband and I really want him to get help, but every where we turn it is a brick wall.

I've battled with many psychological ailments throughout my life. I have a problem committing to things because other events in my life prohibit me. I've always been distracted by significant others or friends. I'm smart and very capable of success...but as soon as I'm in a relationship I become disabled at bettering myself. I get panicky not being around my partners a majority of the time...I think it's because I need to concentrate on too many aspects of my life. My partner is of first importance to me. is it wrong to feel like this?
is there anyway at all to be consumed by my relationship but at the same time be able to be successful...??
or should i just give up and not care about ever accomplishing a trade or specialty?

If someone has a mental illness and they become physically ill. They are of right mind, but choose not to live anymore because their illness is potentially terminal. There are treatments out there, such as chemotherapy and medications with terrible side effects, should that person be granted to right to make their own decisions about their life?

I think yes. But I want to see what you think.

I have OD'd twice, moved twice, started AA, through therapy have learned that my family emotionally abandoned me from a very early age and that i might have been abused.... i have never felt so confused and alone in my whole life. I rely heavily on my therapist and I feel like all my pride has been taken away from me. How do I deal with this heavy pain that I feel in the morning and night? The night time and the weekends are the hardest for me. Without a family base typical friends just dont cut the feeling of being unloved. I dont ask to feel this way but truth is truth. Does this get better?
