Doesn't it all seem pointless? It doesn't seem to matter whether you succeed or fail, the end result is the same.

It's crazy, I could sit (literally) for 12 hours and play if I had the chance (which I don't). I gamble once in awhile, however, when I do, I find it very comforting. It gives me a "warm fuzzy". I hyper-focus and don't even know what is going on around me. Does anyone know why this is? Does it make any sense at all? I take adderall 40 mg. every day. Could this have something to do with it?

Are you happy with who you are?
I'm just wondering. I used to hate myself. Now I'm just happy with being me. A lot of people i know hate themselves, and never take complements about their looks even though they might be really pretty. How about you?
....and why? Does have to do with friends, family....religion?

im 30 years old,& im a bpd sufferer & im waiting for therapy.
my ultimate goal & ambition is to emigrate from the uk to either the states or canada...im not sure how ill do it,& im aware its very difficult.....but whenever i talk about my hopes & dreams to people,& especially my dad, he always says the grass looks greener on the otherside,& that i need to build a life here in the uk..& i get so enraged & angry because i dont wanna stay here,& im aware the grass can look greener but i still no what i want in life and where i wanna go....i want to go far away & build a new life in the countries ive mentioned....& when my dad & others argue with me about where im trying to get in life,& what i want, it feels like their trying to control my life or somehow stop me from achieving what i want..i dont wanna stay in the uk, i wanna emigrate & find a partner & build a life in ca or the us.my dad knows alot of people & i feel hes somehow controlling my life stopping me doing what i want to do

I can't seem to get used to the idea that I'm not part of a circle of friends close enough to want to include me in their holiday plans. I get very involved in self-pity at times like this. Is this normal? What can I do about it?

For daily stressors that might build up, how do you deal with them -whether it's a positive or negative way?

I have problems with depression, anxiety, paranoia, and I always try to isolate myself from people. I'm always freaking out if people look at me...I think they are plotting against me. This is no way to live.

Well, I just woke up and my mom told me that my cousin died this morning from a heart attack. I know who he was, I just did not know him a lot. He stopped by like 1-2 times a month, but he was really close to my mom. Anyway, all last night I felt like something bad was going to happen, because I was zoned out, and something always happens when I am zoned out. How can people know that something is going to happen before hand?? Do you think its just a gut feeling, or predicting the future?? I do not know, I am just trying to figure it out.

there is nothing to live for! I will admit firstly that i suffer with depression, i see a counsellor, who is off at the moment and i have been attending my doctor weekly but i don't live, i just exisit, i try to eat ok, sleep the right amount, get myself out of the house to do normal things but everything seems pointless. I know it's probably just a bad day for me. My doc said to ring during the week if things were too hard to cope with, but sure what could she do except put me in hospital, for fear of self harm?
I don't know what my question is but i know there's many people here that suffer with depression, do you have any words of wisdom??

I have rang the samaritans, text and email them. i cannot ring often as i am not home alone and confiding in family is not an option.

thanks. please don't answer insensitively, is it really worth hurting people's feelings for the sake of 2 points?

They are still helping me pay for school so I am still tied to them financially. It seems simple to say get a job. However I already have one that doesnt pay enough and since I have to deal with bipolar crap on top of that, things just add up. What would be the best thing to do? They keep calling and I feel like **** whenever I talk to them. Something tells me the way Im wording the question im not going to like the answers. Soooo many people stand by their families and well I tried its just they never took the time to know me. My emotions meant nothing I had to constantly make them feel better. ok well just let me know what you think or if you have any experience with this. Thank u.

help me please i don't know what's wrong with me. I'll try not to ramble but so anyway here it is:
1. I never feel i can do anything so i don't try cuz i tell myself whats the point if you can't do it? like i don't try in school because i don't think i can get good grades so i don't try even though i manage C's and B's and even a couple of A's anyway, but i'm failing math because i really believe i can't do it. And i've always wanted to write a novel so now i'm writing one and i've gotten really far into it but i think its a crappy novel so i want to quit and that happens with everything. Should i finish the novel just to prove i can? or is it a waste of time?
2. I never talk because i really do think there's no point because no one cares how i feel or what i think and i don't want to bother them with my dumb feelings
3. whenever i look into the mirror i always think and tell myself how stupid and ugly and worthless i am
4. i hate to eat because i feel i don't deserve it

Ever since I was about 10 yrs old I have this compulsion to count to 7 in my head! I could be driving along in my car and I start counting the cars on the opposite side of the road and they have to add up to 7, I do it with people and I have to be the 7th person, I do it with clothes and add different sections so that they reach 7 but each piece has to be attached to each other in order to continue, I do it with faces and each section has to be joined in someway in order for me to count it in as part of the 7.
I do this the whole time and have actually become an expert at getting and rearranging things to reach 7. Nobody know's I do this as I do it in my head and mostly when I am on my own or if I am bored within a crowd or stuck in bad traffic etc, sometimes I'm even doing it unknown to myself.
Why do I do this? Or can anybody explain this to me?

My best friend is throwing a huge party on Saturday.
And it's mainly people I don't know too well or know at all. They're all going to be drinking.
I'm really introverted and thus this is really, really terrifying.
I'm useless at starting conversation and really shy, does anyone have any tips for ways I can cope?
P.S, my friend doesn't understand how I am having problems with this, she's not the understanding type.

since bout 10th grade (i just passed out from 12th) i do this weird thing - the photographs in my room, even the faces on magazines and all and photos n all...i feel like they r watching me...n whenevr im doing something i feel the need to turn them all away in a direction so they can't 'see' me....it used to be much worse..i remember, im 10th or 9th there was a time i felt i couldn't strt my work until i turn all the 'faces' away from me. its much better now...and had stopped complety until just yesterday,i found myself turning the mags in my room so tht the model on its cover would quit 'looking' at me...im spooked out. is this a sign of mental illness?..im 17yrs old.
shd i worry?...wht do i do? my parents wd NEVER agree for a mental check up...
actually i think this strange behaviour may hv triggered when i was in 7th or 8th grade. whenever the pictures 'look' at me i start feeling embaressed or guilty. why the hell does tht happen??

I have been getting around 4 to 5 hours of sleep for the past week or so. At work today I felt pretty anxious and almost was on the verge of a sudden panic attack. Is this related to lack or quality of sleep that Im getting ? Cause before that I was pretty fine and happy. Please Advise.
