I recently just started taking Lexapro and I am worried about the sexual side effects. I don't mean to sound dumb, but are those more for men than women? If they apply to women too, do they go away after a while or will I never be able to climax? Cause as we all know, that would sux! Any info or tips are greatly appericated. Thanks

Hey guys I have a problem..
My brother started smoking weed when he was in high school & later (I guess) started to experiment with shrooms. He had an overdose 2 yrs. ago & ended up in the phsyciatric ward 2x.

He is now diagnosed with schizophrenia and is on meds for this condition. He is 23 & stays in his room all day, does not socialize with anyone & stays on the computer all day!

He is on treatement but he only sees a pshychiatrist once a month and it seems like its not enough.

My question is have any of u had this problem or know anyone that has had this problem? What can I do to help him since talking does not help. what caused this or did he have this problem before the drugs? We were not raised together so I don't know if this was a pre-existing problem...PLEASE HELP!

Two years stable on meds, I can count on two hands the number of times I've even felt depressed and not just sad or moody.

Had a good day today, fun at church, fed well on the Word, got home and sat down at the computer, and from nowhere it hits - my pill bottles seem more like cookie jars, especially those two. One pill out of either bottle lays me out cold. Empty both bottles and ... yeah.

Wrote in my journal, emailed a friend, prayed, used ALL my DBT and positive coping skills, and the cookie jars are still there. Just one, one won't hurt. But you can't eat just one, they're so goooood, just one more and one more and one more until they're gone and I'm as empty as the cookie jar.

I can't get sick again now. He needs me. He won't be able to take it if I get sick, he's had enough. He's had too much. I can't tell him.

Too late to call pastor, can't tell hubby, losing ground and can't find anything to grasp onto. This can't be happening.

Savvy?

Its become a habit with me to get easily tensed up with little things. Something that's not happening correct or not in order makes me anxious & irritated. You can say that i am stupid enough to take tensions & be worried the whole day regarding my studies, my life , my responsibilities, my future, what should i do ? Whom should i trust ? What is good for me ? I rarely remain relaxed. When everything seems to be allright something else crops up to cause me stress & anxiety.
Now a days i don't get a wink of sleep before its 1:00 or 2:00 am. Stupid thoughts & worries keep pestering me & i keep rolling over the bed before i get some sleep. I get head aches.
I am spoiling my health !!

What should i do ???????
Should i see a doctor & take sleeping pills or anti stress tablets ????
Help me !
Give me your valuable suggestions.
Thanks for responding. :-)
God bless u :-)

so, i have almost gotten over my grandfather passing, and one of my neighbours, then now, a few days ago, one of my friends committs suicide...i wish i could have helped her, i asked her what was wrong so many times, and she just didn't want to talk about it. i hate myself for not stoping her, or even taking my inquiring to what was wrong, on a higher level.
then, ontop of that im trying to put my past behind me. i was molested by my cousin from when i was 6 until i was 14(when i first got my peroid) and i am currently 18....ahh...i should hate my life right now....all the crap ive been through, ive really tried to put it all behind me, but right now, as of current events its comming back into my face. i have to be honest, i have tryed to hurt my self before, when i was extremely depressed, but i got out of it, i just wish my friend could have confided in me, instead of going to the means of dealing with her problems like she did.i would give anything in the world if she was here now

My dad died in January of 2006. We were close especially after my mom died in 1993.
I had to put dad in a nursing home in 2002 because he was too much for me to take care of and I had to work full time to take care of my kids.
I was crushed when he died. It doesnt matter if your dad is 25 or 95, he is still your dad.
I have saved his clothes in my closet. Today while I was going thru a box, I found the last pair of tennis shoes he wore at the nursing home and I cnnot bring myself to throw these things away. I still have about 6 shirts hanging on hangers above my computer.
Am I normal. Should I just get rid of these things? Do you think I should get into some kind of greif counseling or is it normal for some people to do this? He helped me single parent my kids and was all my emotional support for about 17 yrs while I was going to college and trying to get my life together after a terrible divorce.

I have had it. Good intentions and genuinely caring about someone and their well being is over rated. Dun Da dun dun dunnn. So very done. Every time I try to lend a hand or help fix a problem, it just blows either way. Being 30 has now taught me that I am wasting my time and my feelings on other people. It causes me emotional stress and I feel like I let people down. Most of the time it works out nicely and people get exactly what I knew they would and they are happy, but it is the getting there that is the turmoil. No more reaching out a helping hand from my end, it is just not worth it. Good Samaritan I am no more, I think I have been beaten down just as much as the rest of the world is now. So if asked for directions now, I will give the only directions I know. The answer oh sorry I can't help you, but here is my sad face to make up for it. Any advice would be great. :)

I have depression and i think maybe mild bipolar. Ive tried to talk to my parents and my brother, but they all said that i wasnt, that i was exagerating and that if i just was more active and didnt stay in my room all the time then id feel better. ive also tried talking to my friends about it, but they dont seem to understand. i dont know any other adults that id feel comfortable talking to. i also dont like the idea of talking to someone about it over the phone. the only thing i can do is go on-line. like this. but answers @yahoo is just for that; answers. its not a support system, not a discussion. so where can i go online to talk to people about this? do they even have forums for depression and suicide? anything would help.

rejected and ignored? say if you grew up through a system in the uk that let you down and screwed you over? you were victimized, bullied, abused, never made any friends in life, and you had reached the age of 30 had borderline personality disorder and felt alienated by people....say if even after all this, you still had dreams and aspirations you wanted to achieve, but you felt you were being held back and restricted from doing what you want.....by unseen persecutors...i wanna move far away from uk and build a new life, but i feel i can never achieve this, and a corrupt systems holding me back...
am i doomed? should i just give up?
