Okay so I called the doctor and asked to speak with her about her prescribing Paxil. I left a message with her assistant. He just called back to tell me that they called in a script of Zoloft! Well, good, but no. I wanted to speak with her. My normal doc is out today because his kids are sick. Anyhow, what are everyone's thoughts on Zoloft vs Paxil? You might want to check out my other question earlier today regarding Paxil to give you a little background.

She's deeply depressed & can barely get out of bed, & she has a research paper due tomorrow. She's very anxious about it & feels like she can't do it. Telling her that something is better than nothing & that it's not that bad isn't sinking in because she wants the paper to be perfect, but she has it stuck in my mind, "I know I'm gonna fail so it's pointless & a waste of time to do the paper".

My boyfriend and I have been together over a year. We live together and we have never fought. He hurt my feelings for the first time, I don't think he meant to but he did. Friday night we some how get into the conversation about sex and dating. I told him that I was happy to take a different approach with him and waited to have sex and that before I kinda would sleep with a guy first then make my decesion on liking him or not afterwards. I have never felt ashamed of this. This bugged him and it went onto saturday morning because I asked him about it and he said "well I made sure I stayed away from people like that in highschool." Boy, did I get mad and he knew I did the moment I got silent. I was trying so hard not to cry and I told him to leave me alone. I don't know if i over reacted, but for that moment he just made me feel the way an ex would, like a whore. It's still bothering me. It was such a terrible flashback of the bad relationship before him. Now I feel disconnected :(

I live in a quiet town, and this is the first time I've ever been the victim of road rage. I was followed by a drunk driver who'd been weaving all over the road and almost hit me in my lane as I was trying to get around him. He apparently decided it was my fault somehow that he almost hit me, so he followed me to a parking lot and proceeded to get abusive, but decided to leave when I suggested that we call the police. He roared off before I could get his license number, still yelling at me.

Now I'm sitting here shaking because I'm so angry and I don't know how to deal with these feelings. I don't even want to get back in my car again -- that's just how bad it is.

If you've been a victim of road rage, what did you do to cope with how you felt afterwards?

I suffer from anxiety...once of my symptoms is that I am nauseated a lot of the time. I take medication to keep me from vomiting all day, but lately I haven't even felt well enough to take my anxiety medication. For the past month, I've been taking it kind of regularly, but for the past 4 days I haven't been able to take it at all. What symtoms should I be on the look out for? I see my doc on the 31st, but wanted to know if there is anything I should be on the look out for in myself.

You know, the days that you dont go into work/school because you're tired/stressed out. Do you think they are acceptable, or just an excuse for people to be lazy? How often should you take one, if at all?

am just sick and don't know what to do. My daughter lately has had sores on her face that she swears is just from "picking the zits" on her face. But these are not the angry red spots from that--these are downright SORES. So I looked it up on the internet and oh dayumnit. I am so sick now with fear and worry and even anger that i could be so easily duped. What do I do? How do I get help for her and for me to deal with it realistically and helpfully (for us both)? Are there some websites you can list or maybe some personal stories of how you dealt effectively or ineffectively with this? Please help me.

Everytime I argue with someone, I get very upset. I feel hopeless, I cry, I obsess about it. Even if I know it wasn't my fault or it's not a big argument, I start freaking out. I keep telling myself that it is temporary and things will get better, but it will still ruin the rest of my day (or sometimes week). How can I stop getting so upset?

we broke up about half a year ago, but just now i am starting to put the pieces together.. we were together for 2 years, yet the entire relationship seemed like a progress. There was always a problem, always a fight, or he was breaking up w. me just so that he could "take me back"as his sick way of making me feel "special". He physically abused me a few times. He cheated on me multiple times but lied about it (once we broke up he bragged that he cheated on me 40 times) he is on antidepressants and aderol for god knows wat? often times i would go2his house&listen2him sob2me for hours about how sad he is. He is wreckless(just got a speeding ticket for going 140, just got a DUI for going 130, does coke, got a fake ID, drinks every day&every night, gets on anybody with 2 legs) when he broke up w/ me, he said "now that i have my meds*antidepressants* to make me happy, i dont need u anymore" & that was the end of it (he tried hooking up w/ me seconds after he brokeup w/ me when i was crying?

Just so you know, I'm not a guy, just not using my profile for this one. I'm a 27 yo woman, in basically my 1st real, adult, and actually healthy relationship. I have a past of sexual abuse, and just an all around mess of a childhood. In a nutshell, I've never witnessed a healthy relationship.. Well, my current relationship is great in general. Get along good, are trying to have a baby now. The problem is, I sometimes just feel plagued by my past. When we argue, I revert back to the little girl daddy doesnt love, and will just cry, not over our arguement, but over how I feel I'll never be "normal", feeling I'm still the little girl who no man will ever love, since my past was the way it was, I feel like it will always be like that. I had been to counseling, a lot at that. I thought I was over all this, until now. This new relationship seems to bring up old things I thought were gone. Any advice? Especially from someone who understands. Thank

I dont like to brag etc. but i would like to think i am a rather talented artist, but, lately i just seem fatigued and tired, i will draw and the pictures, i hate them. I also havent had a decent sleep ritual for a while now, some times i stay up three days on the trot, others i go to bed at 3 am and get up at 5 pm, i hardly eat caffeiene etc. Whenever i get my head down to sleep i always think about negative stuff, like the state of the world and people and their nastiness, and i often think what it would be like if i were just dumb >_<, i can wish. I exercise alot too and have good diet but my eyes always feel heavy and that sort of itchy and yawning feeling is constantly there, I start to think about the world and if it truy is here, or is everything just an illusion created by the brain, senses of taste, touch sight and smell and even hearing, all created by the brain, like, we are told the earth is round because somebody else created the theory, why should we follow law?
