People say that computer is very useful and inform us a lot of knowledge. But in my experience, I feel a lot frustrated concerning with computer. Once, there was a malware attacking my computer, I was very anxious and frustrated. Sometimes I delete some files by accident and the important programs do not function or disappear. Often, I cannot dial up my msn messenger. I think sometimes I am not happy with using computer but I cannot stop using it. I consider myself addict to computer.

Recently, I have been experiencing mild panic attacks when I wake up in the morning. My mind races through all the things that are giving me anxiety; i.e - my job, finances, time, etc and I just lie there, half awake and my heart starts pounding. It's a very sick feeling and I want to get rid of my anxiety, but I don't know where to begin. And please don't suggest medication because I can't afford it.

My grandfather is 77 , in advanced stage 3 of Alzheimer's and has 90% Black lung. He stays chronically ill, in the hospital litteraly every week. He has now become increasingly violent and delusional, so much to the point my grandmother can no longer contain him. My parents will not move him in because my grandmother has refused to do so.

Being how he is violent and uncontrollable for my grandmother. I suggested the possiblity of a nursing home where he could get the proper attention he needs. My grandmother has been in denial of this and refuses to admit he has Alzheimer's despite the doctor's report clearly stating it and hiself clearly showing it.

Yesterday he climbed ontop of a TV and tried to go out of a window, the TV fell on him but luckily he was pinned between it and a chair, thus not hurting him.

I know a lot of nursing homes are bad and mistreat patients, but I do not have any other solution since they will not agree on anything, what should I do?

If so how do you let go? Especially when you have been holding stuff in for so long and not trusting. I have hit a real crucial point where I cant hold anything in anymore but I still do and lose a lot of sleep over it. So how do I let this stuff out?

It's affecting my sleep and my dreams. I have only had an hour of sleep and It's 6:30 AM! I went to bed seven hours ago! I asked him if he was but the bad thing is is that I won't be able to read any emails because I won't have computer access until Sunday night. What can I do?! Since I asked him that
it's making me think about if he's mad at me AND what will he respond like.

If you have had bipolar before and are not on medications, what do you do when you have sudden ups and downs? Do you go back to medications or another method?

I always thought that jealousy is a feeling that makes you angry; and only angry. I just recently discovered that when you're jealous, it also makes you feel like you want to puke, and now I'm confused.

for instance, just now when I walked in the door, two of my cats came to great me, and a picture of me stomping on them popped into my head. Thoughts like that pop up a lot, but I never act on them (except for a few times very long ago that fortunately did not result in death, just a little loss of air--I guess you can say I suffocated the cat to get off and I'll never get over it, and I'll never forgive myself). I'm disgusted by them, and yet at the same time (sometimes) I'm turned on by them. I suppose it happens more when I'm distressed, but still. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this a dissorder?

years and years of therapy have only curtailed suicide. my 4 month old son died 4 1/2 years ago and i still miss him desperately. my 3 year old daughter brings much joy, but my hapiness isn't lasting. i am on medication. i see a psychotherapist and a psychiatrist as well as a marriage therapist. we (i) have been through a lot of trauma and i dont think i'll ever be a completely happy person. any advice on how to let go og my traumas and be happy and helpful to others?

p.s. I'm atheist, so please don't try to push the "god" thing.

I always thought mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder didn't emerge until the person was in his/her teens at the earliest. But can it manifest itself in early childhood as well?

I am a lifeguard in P.A. and I saved someone from drowning today, and I was wondering if they could claim they were mentaly hurt by the experience and sue me or my employer. I've been checking the P.A. laws for anything close to this, but I havn't seen much so if anyone could shed some insite, that would be awsome.
