I was only taking 0.25 mg per day, sometimes every other day....anyways, I cannot get advice from my doctor, as I have kaiser insurance and I am no longer a member, they will not help me in the least bit......I realize that I am not supposed to just go off of xanax, but I dont have any other choice, at this time I do not have medical insurance. Just want to know what to expect since I am no longer taking it. Please help!! thanks!!

I would appreciate responses from parents who have faced this and decided against it and those who went through with it. What happened to your child was it a good decision or do you regret it?

Wow so I looked at a list of symptoms and I really think this is something i have. I'm going to see my general practitioner later this week to talk about possible thyroid problems, but do you think I should mention this to her and ask her to recommend a psychiatrist? Should I talk about the symptoms with her?

And then, when I do see a psychiatrist, should I straight up tell them "i think i have adhd/pi" or should i list the symptoms and hope they figure it out?

Older men living in neighborhoods with sidewalks, and with restaurants and other such destinations within walking distance, may be less prone to depression than are men from areas characterized by “suburban sprawl,” according to an April article in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Researchers at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., studied 740 older adults in the Seattle area and found that men living in the more pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods seemed to have fewer symptoms of depression than did their peers in neighborhoods that were not as easy to navigate on foot. The findings did not seem to apply to women, the researchers said – possibly because women tend to have more social support than men, which helps prevent depression, and possibly because women are more likely to seek treatment, rendering them less vulnerable than men are to environmental factors that exacerbate depression.

Hello,
My aunt has a severe narcotics addiction. Long and sad story which I'd rather not get into. However, I found out yesterday that she is giving her 13 year old son sleeping pills. They are Vistoril and not of the narcotic variety. He doesn't go outside to play, just sits home everyday not getting ANY exercise. (I'd probably have trouble sleeping too if I didn't go out and play at 13). Anyway, my question is does anyone else think there is something wrong with this situation or am I just overreacting?

Your thoughts are appreciated!

I mean when I get so upset or something I wind up punching something or hurting myself someway. I set it hit my legs with everything I can as hard as I can.

Do you guys have any ideas on how I control this?
I tried biting my tongue, just bit almost through it one day.

Because my Grandmother is getting up in age and is saying things that don't make since and are kind of freaky. We don't have a family history of Alzheimer's, but there is someone in our family that went crazy, mentally crazy. Do you think this is what is happening? She says that our Grandpa, which passed away 5 years ago, is living down the street with another women.

I know someone who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Without meds, he thinks people are plotting against him and he even committed suicide once. Yet he says he does not hear voices nor hallucinate?

I do believe the mind follows the body (vice versa). I suffer from extreme anxiety problems. I am trying to be one with the mind and body to help better control my anger and anxiety.

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. He doesn't seem to want anything to do with me

We never met each other. Just saw pics and used to talk over phone. He doesn't know when will he be able to come to my country becoz of his job . I visited many times to U.S.A but now I don't have resources to go there .Maybe in future I will be able .Now he is trying to be away and wants me that I marry someone else because I am getting over age. What I feel that he really loves me alot but just becoz of me he is doing all this.He doesn't make me wait? I told him that I can't do this. How is it possible to marry another person if u love someone. I just want to live with his memories. Now I am losing my life day by day.I can't concentrate on my work. I can't have proper sleep and diet and daily I have severe headache. Often I keep weeping not becoz of this reason that I wanna marry him. If he is happy then I don't want anything in my life. I am just worried becoz of this reason that how do I stop missing him? It's really very painful for me. Want to live normal life.Any suggestion?

I'm going through a lot in my life right now. I feel like I'm only hanging on by a thread sometimes. I can't kid myself, I know I'm in need of some help. Are there any other options? My family is unable to provide finacial help and cannot afford it myself. I live in Ontario, Canada if that information is useful.

What do you do when you feel like there your life has no purpose?

I seriously don't know what to do with myself anymore. It gets worst everyday. I'm so tired of my life. I'm tired of crying every night. I've been doing it for too long. I feel like I'm not worth anything at all. I'm not close with my family. they are like strangers to me. I don't feel comfortable getting close with others because I don't trust them. I always feel so alone and I have a hard time interacting with others. I'm not even like a normal quiet person because at least they have personality when they do talk but me on the other hand I'm just plain weird. I don't fit in anymore and for those who seem to like me I cannot understand why. I feel so unworthy in the eyes of others. I've tried counseling and it doesn't work. I've tried talking with others but it just gets worst everyday. Some days I'm able to go through it and other days I just go down the drain. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel like they only way that the pain would end is if I kill myself.

and I want to do it so badly. i have a hard time connecting with others and I just feel like an outcast in the world. I'm about to be a junior in college and I just feel so helpless and believe me I am trying everyday. The only reason why I keep writing how I feel online is because it actually helps me to stay alive and to not actually give in in killing myself because I just want to end this pain. I hate myself so bad. I don't know why I am the way I am. I'm so stupid and I have to pretend that everything is ok so I can appear normal. I'm just fed up

I have a big fear of stairs and I don't know why. I hate walking down them...and I don't really like walking up them, but its a little bit better. I feel really stupid seeing all these people walking up and down stairs without any problem, while I'm almost crying just thinking about it. Is anyone else like this? How can I change this?

Four almost five years ago, I was r*ped. I was drinking, and this guy had someone else driving down the road so he could do this to me in the back seat of his van. I remember trying to push him off of me and yelling to him to stop, but he kept doing it as if nothing bothered him. It was as if he was made of steel or something, I tried to get away, but I just could not...there is no place to go, in a moving vehicle. I remember bits and peices of it, like what I just mentioned and also how he lyed on top of me and was pushing down on me, so I could not move. I reported what I remember to the police and they tried to find him, but apperaently he fled the state or maybe even country, I don't know. It's the classic R*pe thing, where he actually forced himself inside. Oh yeah, I also remember the driver laughing as it was happening. I was SO embarrassed and felt violated very much.The horrid memories still haunt me till this very day. Is that wrong that I can not forget about it?
