This may sound stupid to some, but no matter what I do I smell. I shower twice daily, use antibacterial soap, and have tried every known antiperspirant/deodorant known to man. I smell only in my underarms. 15 minutes out of the shower, it smells like I haven't showered in days. I went to the doctor and he just laughed at me and said he did not smell anything. The entire time I was in the waiting room, people were sniffling and coughing. I had blood tests done and everything was normal. This has been going on for 3 years. I can't go out any more. I avoid social situations in general. I start school tomorrow and I don't think I can endure the day with everyone sniffling, coughing, and looking at me. My parents know I have a problem, but they are like I should just deal with it, but I can't. I don't think I will live to see my 20th birthday. I have tried natural remedies too, such as charcoal, chlorphyll, and baking soda, but nothing works. I have given up on life.

I have suffered from anxiety and depressive episodes since I was 18, been on and off the meds, and am now back on them after a relapse at christmas. I am 22 and a graduate in Bsc Psychology and have never really known what I want to do as a career, until recently I started thinking as I am quite passionate about mental/emotional disorders as I suffer from them myself, maybe I could pursue a career in counselling and help others get back to being happy and stronger. My only real concern is whether I will be a strong enough person to cope with all the problems I will confront or if my anxiety will get the better of me and I will be dragged down too. I know I want to help others with similar problems to myself,but although this means I can feel great empathy towards others, I worry I might not be able to handle it, but then maybe if I have had proper counselling training I will?dilemna! any advice, or anyone in the same situation as me please do help! cheers : )

of a loner and have no friends..My family is dysfunctional and all 5 siblings have been mean to me in these past 3 weeks since she died but all have also been nice. The only ones I feel care about me are my best friend brother, but I am worried he may change his view on me as a brother who vowed revenge (but now says he should not have said it) went berserk on me twice making statements to hurt me, terrifying me by screaming, making threats (not physical but things that could hurt me otherwise), and breaking things is now living with my good brother forever due to a marital separation and getting my mom to put it in the will he can live there all his life too as he is the executor. Although I like that brother, Nathan,I want to reduce time with him due to fear, his attitude, mistrust, etc as much as possible. If I lose him, I lose my sister in law and my nephew who I also care about as I feel my brother is a very good exaggerator and gives an untrue picture of situation. If he

I am severly depressed. I have been on Lexapro, Celexa, Cymbalta, Zoloft, Effexor, and probably a few I have left out. I am very obese and need to lose weight. I also smoke, and need to quit, duh. All the other medicines don't seem to help my depression and KILL my sex life. I have been doing some research and I am considering requesting Wellbutrin. I have no history of seizure disorders or any known allergies. I just wanted to get some opinions. I have started going to a therapist, that is starting to help me. I am fortunate enough to be getting married next year and I would love to be able to get my depression under some sort of control. I really need your help. Thanks so much.

to turn against you to?
plus you felt everywhere you went and everything you did, people played mind games with you, insinuated things indirectly at you, mentally taunted you..
how would you handle situation if alot of people did that to you?

im not asking you to answer question and say im paranoid i just would like you to answer the question on how would you deal with this in a positive way?
plus you were recovering from long term trauma and psychological problems, so you wanted to fit in in society make friends, basically just overcome your adversity. you had ambitions of relocating from your country to a hot place..you had goals you wanted to reach.
so something occuring like this could really get you mad and upset..feeling as though you were being socially ostracized.

plus you were sensitive, so what people did and said could easily upset and make you annoyed.
baring in mind you had never made any friendships in life because of psyche problems.
so how could you deal

When I was young I was sexualy abused by my sister, at the time I was younger than ten. I remember several occasions one which included the neighbors daughter. At the time I didn't understand what was going on, but every since I was about 12 and older I have felt demoralized and worthless. I am now going on 24 and I still can not look a woman in the eyes without guild and sorrow. I really don't have any family to consult and I am embarrased to tell any friends I do have because of the shame I feel. I find myself alone and dreaming to have a family someday, but I know in my current state that a healthy family is impossible. I feel I must work through my depression before I can achieve my life goals, but I have no clue where to start.

I'm in love with a bi-polar mess. help.?
I am in love with a very intelligent, funny, caring and wise person who suffers from bi-polar disorder and absolutely loathes himself.

We have been friends for a very long time and started going out a few months ago. Yesterday we broke up, but it's more of a break until he gets some help. I have no idea what to do. I just got off the phone with him and we're going for a walk in three days.

I'm not perfect myself. I have an eating disorder.I just want him to be happy and realize that he's a beautiful, wonderful person that makes me and many other people very happy.

I know he loves me too, that's not the problem. He just doesn't trust himself and won't let me love him back.

somebody tell me what to do!


(BTW: I posted this before, but people keep saying medicate him! He's resistant to medication! a family member of his comitted suicide on meds)

How do you know if someone is criminally insane? I have a friend who is currently in jail. He has a very high iq (154) and is a drug addict and con artist. He is a VERY good speaker; he can talk to anybody. He is actually getting whoever is in charge of his time to lower it (i am not very well educated on this subject btw). Anyway, he knows the system and can seemingly get what he wants anytime he wants. He is a master manipulator. He has been in jail many times but always gets less time than what he was originally sentenced. He has been to prison twice. He says he just can't get over his "past"...is he criminally insane? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried 4 different pills for depression and anxiety and am about to try my 5th because the first 4 were unsuccessful in making things better. In fact, 2 made things significantly worse. I'm losing hope that there is any medication out there that will help me as a face my issues. I'd love to hear your experience with this type of drug.
