My best friend sufferes a lot from stuttering although i never think that he should make a big deal out of it. Every person sometimes forget what to say or just stutter because our brain shuts down for a while. He sufferes because he says sometimes he wants to say something, but he can't and it makes his life a hell! What should i tell my friend and what should he do?

I've been suffering from 'anxiety like symptoms' ie: nervousness and tremors, but every time I take any sort of medication to treat anxiety my symptoms become ten times worse even though I give time for the medication to work. I cant seem to take any sort of tablets, even a simple headache tablet or something like cod liver oil make my symptoms wose.
Please help

When I was about 5 yrs old I was molested by an outside family member. I told on him and it was stopped and I was removed from the situation immediately.

I'm 19 yrs old. I've never felt completely comfortable around guys. I'm attracted to them, but I never want to make the effort to be in a relationship for reasons I don't understand. I self-doubt a lot and I tend to like guy who'll never like me back.

I know that this type of trauma can cause a person to shy away, but I know other women who've been hurt like that at a young age and they have no trouble jumping into a relationship with a man.

What's wrong with me and how do I overcome my fear of relationships?

I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I have been through treatment, gone through therapy and was on psychiatric medication, I even had a brief stay at psychiatric hospital. That's not the really why I am asking my question though.

Here is my problem: I don't have very much money anymore. I can't afford treatment like I used to.

There are times I feel like I lose myself inside mind. I'm sneaky, I'm manipulative, I'm hurtful, controlling, - on top of all that, I loathe myself to my very core, I feel like I have a layer of bad, of evil coating my skin... half the time... the other half of the time I feel like no on appreciates how great I am and no one loves me.

I want to stop, I want to have control of myself, I want to be ok - things were getting better when I was on medication, when I was seeing a psychologist, but I can't afford it anymore.

At this point I am open to any suggestions anyone can make. Anything would help - please.

How has it affected your relationships? Do you find it difficult to communicate with the people in your life that you love the most, and find yourself cutting them out of your life? More specifically, have you had to end a relationship because of it, but couldn't bring yourself to communicate any further with that person even if they were offering support and help?? I've found myself in this situation, and don't know what to do to help him. I'm trying to be a friend to him, but he's not very responsive to me and I don't know if I should leave him be or keep offering support and letting him know I am there so he knows that I haven't abandoned him. I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out his unresponsiveness....

I am 40 something now but when I was a kid others were very mean to me. Even though I have gotton past that the memories still hurt and I often wonder if those people who hurt me emotionally ever felt bad for what they did. Are you a bully or where you bullied? I never thought of doing horrible things like some kids do to others nowadays, I got my revenge by getting my self esteem back and just knowing my life is worth it.
Others called me stupid and when I was young I thought maybe they were right. But I know now I am not. So bullies if you think you can't hurt someone with words think again.

I've been with someone for 2 years now who has Borderline Personality Disorder. She was diagnosed as a teenager, and is in her early 20s now and fits the symptoms of it perfectly. She constantly needs to be around me, can't stand being alone or not having notice if I have to go somewhere after work. She wants me to do every single thing with her. I can't even watch TV, can't do anything without her. If we get into a fight, which happens often, and I want to watch tv or play a game on my computer, she spazzes out and says I'm replacing her. She has caused me to lose contact with all my friends, I barely even see my mom and honestly my mom is the only family I seem to have left. Unfortunately I live with her. I was in my own place for the first time for over a year, and then she kept pressuring me to move in with her. I was always at her house and when I was home, she wanted me on the phone with her constantly. I feel trapped & I feel like I have to stay or she'll kill herself. Help?!

I wonder if what we are calling roid rage is a collection of codeveloping or preexisting mental disorders. It is possibly these disorders that lead to the use of steroids in the first place. I did a check on wikipedia.org and discovered "RR" is difficult to study because of coexisting cluster b disorders but what do you think? Is it real or is it the media?

*Note a former question with this title turned up the "best answer" that roid rage is comparable to other extreme drug withdrawls.

I am my father's only child. He died 10 days ago at age 57, completely unexpected, of an apparent heart attack. We were very close. I am having a very hard time functioning with daily life and getting back to work, etc. I realize it has only been a short period of time, but I feel so completely lost, despite the hundreds of people (both family and friends) that have extended offers of help, etc. If I do daily functions and try to get back to normal, I suddenly realize he's gone again and the grief takes over. Any books? Any other words of advice?
