I have been cutting myself since November, and still have urges to do it. I'm to the point where I don't care whether I live or die. I take big risk's now and hope that something bad will happen.

I am 25 years old I have 3 children and the last year and ahalf have been really hard I have been struggling with depresion panic attacks and anxiety about 5 years ago I had twin boys who were born 4 months early and the smaller one Trea at just 14 oz.passed away shortly aflter birth, and our bigger baby Jordan at 1 lb 7 oz was in the hospital for 8 months and was ventalator dependent but doing well so they sent him home with us and 24 hour nursing care his body shut down and he passed away. I saw everything that happened and as they tried to bring him back and then had to tell my 3 year old that his brother was not ever coming back. I did ok for a while but I never got counseling or anything and I am just wondering if the problems I am having now are from PTSD or its just something else it is now summer and it seems worse but I am out of college for the summer so I have more time on my hands and have no breaks from my kids so if anyone knows about it I would appreciate some advice

I am not sure if this is bipolar disorder or something else..I am always depressed, but sometimes it get extremely bad, I usually think seriously about suicide atleast once a week, but then sometimes I am not so depressed, never happy, just not as depressed...I thought I had bipolar, but I thought that was when you go from one extreme to the other (happy to sad)...I am never happy, but sometimes the depression is really bad. I don't know what is wrong with me. Does anyone know what is or could be wrong with me? Please help, I feel like I am going insane...am I just crazy or what? Thanks in advance!

Ever since i started 5 months ago all i do is eat. ive gained about 10 pounds already and that depresses me so its basically pointless to take an antidepresent thats side effects are depressing me. right?

Anyone else find that zoloft made them eat more?

Additional Details


Before i wasnt eating enough from depression. No appitite but now its out of control. Im not emotionally eationg. Im just eating because im happy? But its nit a real happy. Its a fake happy. if that makes sence. But now im not happy because im gaining weight. My docotr now perscribed me adderal. Because maybe i was depressed because i had so much aneity from having to sit still.

anything else ppls??

I suffer from panic and social anxiety. I havent started taking the effexor yet but have spoken with my doctor and its one I'm contimplating. I used paxil in the past and found effective but still dealt with some overwhelming anxiety provoking situations. If I go on Effexor and feel I need something extra...is it fine to take in conjunction with benzo's? Does it totally alleviate anxiety? I just want your personal experiences..even taking similar drugs..

What should I tell the doctor? She is my younger sister I really don't want her to take them because they are very unhealthy but I can't seem to convince her of it. She might be depressed but I think we need to tackle this problem with another solution before the doctor starts putting her on all this poisons..Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks

My mother took care of him financially, even though he yelled,screamed at her all the time - mostly about how brilliant he was and how people were out to steal from him and hurt him. My mother died in '05. Now I have to take care of him. He's 57. I'm 48, but feel 10 when it comes to helping him. I have had him put in the hospital twice in the last 8 months. The last time, I contacted Adult Protective Services, they were very helpful in that they could talk to the social worker and doctor, where I wasn't allowed too. The doctor asked to have a meeting with us. I thought this time he'll really get help(he's been sick 40 yrs) . I was wrong. My brother told the doctor he would stay on his medicine and clean up his house (mom moved away in '89 to protect herself).
This was 3 months ago. He can not clean his house. He thinks that when he puts his trash by the road that the neighbors get it and dump it in his house . He doesn't pay taxes or other bills and thinks they're "messing with him"

I have been having anxiety for about 2 yrs now, I went to the doctor for something small and they wanted to do a catscan (stupid) and I started having a panic attach because I was scared to go in the tunnel thing.So they ended up hooking up all the machines and freaking out telling me to lay down and stay still I wanted to leave but they wouldnt let me sit up...so as a result I was freaking out more.Fast forward 2 years and I have been having more anxiety I am prescibed anxiety meds (ativan) but I have a fear of going to the doctor and having my blood pressure taken.I also have been having anxiety about school (college) because they have a policy for if there is a threat to the school that they would lock us in the rooms and we have to wait there until they figured it out.I have panic attacks when I think of being locked in there.I have anxiety when I think about bridges, going far away from my house like on a long trip, flying in a plane, it just seems like its worse what is going on?

I really need to cure my Social Anxiety. I really have trouble carrying out a conversation with people and I can not stand to be with any group of people. Are there any supplements vitamins herbs or anything that is proven to help with this illness other than prescription medication? I really hope there is something out there.
