I've been on prozzac for 2 years, and I want to get a blood test to see if I actually need it... since prozzac gives you more seritonin does that mean I need to be off prozzac for a few weeks in order to take the test?

My guy has outbursts of anger & yelling. He has very little patience,if things aren't happening when he thinks they should he gets frustrated & loses it Right now he's under a lot of stress (single parent, lost his job) & it's gotten worse.He's not yelling at me,I just have to hear it.He's never hurt me physically, when he starts the yelling I just want to cover my ears & curl up in the fetal position.When I was married, my husband was physically,mentally & emotionally abusive to me.What always preceeded the physical abuse was the yelling.I think that my brain is going into auto-pilot & I shut down.I don't have control over it & he can't understand my reactions,he says he's not my ex & would never hurt me.Am I over reacting? I know he needs to learn how to control his anger or at the very least get his yelling out of his system when I'm not around.Is there anyway that I can change the way I react to the yelling? When anyone starts yelling around me in anger, I have the same reaction.

What did you eat while you were anorexic?
Did you ever binge?
When did you get over the binging state?
How much weight did you lose?
Did being anorexic affect you in any way?

I'm severely obese. 5'11 - 265 pounds. And i'm only 19. Fed up with family members teasing me..basically degrading me... or not getting hired because of my weight... or any men not wanting to date me because i'm fat.. so I might try not eating for awhile which I have.. and I always last 3-4 days and then start binging... i want to know how I can control that.

Can they be diagnosed before they murder? Will there be a vaccine? I know that there are many types of insanity and even in America serial killers occasionally strike and go on a senseless murder spree. Of course there is always crime, and hate crime, where specific people are targeted due to revenge or to steal something, or out of horrible reasons, such as racism, etc. But when I constantly read in the news about 150 random citizens at a market, or kids in a bus, or patients at a hospital, etc. being mass murdered (and when these are fellow countrymen of the murderers)... and it happens repeatedly, I wonder if these young men have some type of infection that wipes out the moral center of the brain... Perhaps something from the desert? I know there are sporadic crazies everywhere, like the campus shooter, etc, but doesn't it seem that in the Islam world over there, that something is mutating or destroying parts of their brains?

I am wondering what type of impact my childhood had on my adult life. I am now 31 and just realizing I have some serious psychological problems and I am trying to figure out where they came from.
I would not say my childhood was horrible, I was not physically abused but I have never been very "close" to my family members. My parents supported me, but we were never very close. I never considered them friends and although we went on family holidays etc, things always felt "distant". Now we only speak on the phone a few minutes a month. My only sister who was a very troublesome teenager and constantly fought with my conservative parents left the house at around 17 and never returned. We have never been close and to this day only speak occassionally. Now I currently suffer from depression and poor self esteem for as long as I remember.
It really effects all aspects of my life and it does not seem to be getting better with age. I am constantly negative and unmotivated.

sometimes i feel like ending my life. well, i probably would have done so a long time ago if its not for the fact that i'm pregnant. how do i cure my depression? i've tried talking to my boyfriend about it but it didnt work. i even tried meditation and doing other things so that i dont think of my depression. what can i do? my boyfriend keeps getting back from work late (he's in the service line, i understand that) morning and that's why i become more depressed. i hardly see him nowadays..

I get really emotional and bitchy sometimes. I think it's partly PMS, and partly the hormones from my birth control.

When I get emotional, I take it all out on my boyfriend and it causes major problems in our relationship. I'm really not that emotional or bitchy, I think it's all due to birth control and PMS. I wasn't like this before I started birth control 2 years ago. I hate the way I treat him when I get that way and I want to fix it before it causes more problems in the relationship. Anyone have any suggestions?

By reserve I mean self-control. Whatever hits the fan is instantly acted out and on. I would prefer not to use strong medicines with strong side effects and depencies. An especially troublesome thing is anger and annoyances, as well as sentimentalities: I rage or bawl at the drop of a hat, stomp out of rooms and job situations that I feel too carried away by to handle a second longer. I watch these scenarios almost as if it is some other person: but they are increasing my sense of insufficiency and depression over time. I never used to be so volitale

...but i suffer with depression, an eating disorder and self harm and find myself suicidal a lot. The past few days i have been taking insulin, even though i am not diabetic..i only have taken a small unit though and it gives me some sort of satisfaction to know its harming me...or is it? Please don't answer if your going to say something hurtful or you are ignorant to the subject as it does not help anyone!

i see a gp and am awaiting an appointment with the psychiatrist.

thanks in advance x
