My ex and I have been apart since Feb. The break up was harsh on me, I dealt with it, respected her decision for time apart. I rediscovered who I was and assorted my priorities.
During the time off we only chatted 3 times on the phone, 1st two, she was drunk dialing, but we didnt mention the relationship at all. Just recently, the 3rd time we had a great conversation.We talked about everything respectfully, and both agreed that we still cared for another and will always love eachother.She inveted to her bros baby shower, I told her I wasnt sure, but i still went ahead and she was surprised. i kept my distance during the shower, and caught up wth the family and her of course. kept everything very casual, and obvious that my life was great! family was glad to see me and Im sure she was too. uncles and Aunts were ofcourse gesturing if we were back, or making jokes. we both laughed.and kept our distance. she walked me out, gave a long big hug, and thanked her for the invitation...

Im 15 and I get down quite alot, i wouldnt call it major depression but probably chronic depression. Im to embarrased to talk with anybody (even to a help line) about it, and is there anyway i could get an anti-depressant without my family knowing?
Thanks

I am going to the doctors on Wednesday to get some help for the problems I have been having (cutting, pill popping, feeling horrible all the time)

What can I expect at that visit and what should I say?

What can I expect afterwards and in the long-term?

I started seeing a psychologist after I broke up with my ex who cheated on me. It's been about 3 months since I started getting counseling. Although I feel like I should already move on with the thoughts of my ex but I still can't. My psychologist says it is ok to think about my ex as long as I accecpt my feelings. By trying to supress my feelings, I am making myself feel bad, according to my psychologist.

I've been seeing him every 2 weeks lately. The first week after I talk to my psychologist, I feel good about myself like I am moving on with my life and doing something good for myself. But the following week, I feel horrible that I think about my ex and feel depressed to the point where I want to sleeping pills so I go to sleep and not think about him. Once I talk to my psychologist, I start the cycle all over again. One week I'm OK, next week I'm depressed.

Am I being dependent on counseling? What can I do to feel better so I get better sooner?

My cat got hit by a car today... I took him to the vet and he said it's going to cost about $900. Luckily he doesn't have any broken bones but he has a cut on his leg and and his while blood cell count is up. (He has an infection) I'm so sad!!!! I feel really depressed. I'm trying to cheer myself up, but I don't know what to do. My cat is staying overnight at the vet's office. How should I cheer myself up?

Why are some people hypo's? Do you think they just want the attention or have some type of obsession or just don't have anything else to make conversation about. My mom is always obsessed with her health but she's really alright. I went to the dr's with her for 2 colonoscopies (one from the top, one from the bottom, ew) and when the dr. told her everything was fine and that she wouldn't need another one for 10 yrs. she looked disappointed.

I've been driving fine for almost 6 years - no accidents, no tickets... then me and my boyfriend decided to get a new car. He wanted a 5-speed, which I didn't know how to drive. All my friends drive them and they seemed pretty simple, so I agreed. I've been driving it here & there for about a week and a half now, and I'm still terrified! I know how to drive it I'm just not very good at it, and I'm worried that because I'm so nervous I'll make more mistakes. Esspecially when it comes to hills & traffic! Do I have driving anxiety, or am I a baby and just need to practice more?? HELP!

I'm 19, just flunked my second year in university out of boredom, I'm bored to death, I actually fantasize about dying, I mean I dont want to commit suicide or anything, I just want to die, nothing is fun anymore, I cant find joy in anything that i do or used to do, I used to play basketball and Table tennis I cant anymore. I cant watch anything more than twice, a movie, TV show,nothing. I watched season 1-6 of scrubs in 2 days thats how messed up I am. I play poker but I'm bored with gambling, I quit smoking and now I dont have any cravings, I cant get addicted to anything again, I mean how bad can it be when you dont feel like smoking anymore? seriously, I think Ive hit my absolute rock bottom, and I'm just 19. my parents dont know im out of school either, everyone thinks its all good with me, I dont even bother with anything, except the regular rent payment and the occasional getting drunk, seriously What do i do? Do i kill myself?

My mom has become depressed and emotionally shut off from me (and others in her life that love her) I have been trying for years to reach out to her but it seems like the more I try the higher and thicker the walls become. I'm tired and while I don't want to entirely give up on her I need to spend my emotional energy on relationships that are mutually rewarding in order to preserve my own sense of emotional health. What I want to know is how to strike this balance? I want to stay in her life and remain available in the event that she does come around, but without continuing to expect something that's not happening.

Lately, the sight of other beautiful woman around me has been affecting my perception of my own wife. My wife and I just celebrated our first anniversary and I vowed to do away with Porn, which was somewhat of a problem in our first year. My wife is Gorgeous; she just has a rather large stomach and not much of a backside(butt). And when I’m bombarded with images of woman on TV and Movies and even Wal-mart with all these great features, it’s a little difficult for me to get intimate with my own wife. I’m looking for help from anyone who can relate to my problem. Is there anyone who is happily married, and is not in the ideal physical shape, and can tell me how they continue to enjoy their sex life? Is there someone who can give me some advice on how to either help my wife tone up her stomach, or help me to appreciate my wife the way I did when I first met her. I really don’t know what my problem is. She completely satisfies my Sexual Physical needs 130%, but it’s just the visual stimulation that I’m lacking. And I have no interest in cheating because I love her to death and don’t even want to touch another female, not even at a strip club. Although, I am curious as to what a flat stomach and full perky breasts actually feel like. I doubt that it adds anything to the actual sexual feeling; however, it’s that visual thing that keeps me struggling and fighting my porn addiction and keeps me fighting for my Love life with my Lovely Wife. Someone, please help in any way you can.

My boss accused me of coming in an 1 1/2 late, while she was away on business bc I didn't return her messages right away bc I was busy taking care of some work that was priority that she left me the day before she left. Anyway, after I proved myself about coming in 15 mins. late with an email that I sent out, she apologized to me. Since she's been back she been acting really weird and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. I'm also mad I had to prove myself to her about me coming in way before she thought I did. I want to approach her bc I can't work under these circumstances. How do I begin to tell her how I feel?

Thanks

I need to understand what form your moods take. I have been diagnosesd as fast cycling and I'm all over the shop.

I originally would have two weeks of happy, two weeks of depressed/suicical and two weeks of sort a cross over. I'm also doing things which are getting me in to trouble and I don't always recocgnise that what I'm doing is wrong. I know I'm getting worst and I am very worried about this thing totally messing me and my life up, well even more than it alreday has. To make it worst I have no support at all.

I am 30 years old and single. I have never really been involved in a serious relationship and am not comfortable dating and meeting men. I have always battled with being overweight and recently have lost about 40 lbs. I thought that if I lost the weight that I would feel more self confident and would be able to handle attention from men. I still don't feel comfortable. I'm constantly letting other friends take the spot light and I hide behind them. In the meantime, all of my friends are getting married, moving away and I'm feeling alone and in a rut. Would a therapist be a good step for me?

ok, my mother has 5 children and 4 step children. Currently she has 5 of them currently living full time with her (2 step and 4 of hers). I can almost guarantee you that she bi-polar b/c she goes into the expisodes that i recognize from my bipolar friend. yes there is a chance she has a deppression problem as I do, but she's a little bit more extreme then I am. Anyways i am married and no longer live at home but when she has the episodes I usually get called either by her or my siblings in tears and i have to pull the family together. I grew up with this and it caused me to resent my mother for many years. I'm there for her, b/c she's always been there for me during my deppression times, but it's really starting to ware on me. my younger siblings (all under 13) get really emotional about this and start blaming themselves no matter how many times I tell them it's not them. Is there ANYTHING I can do to MAKE her get help? she doesn't beleie in drugs to help her problems but

i was diagnosed with depression and anxienty and self mutilation. I was struggling to get out of bed, i had no motivation and i did pretty much nothing all day. I am thinking that i am falling back into my depression because i am doing the same thing as last time.

I just want to know how can i determine what is being lazy and what is because of the depression ?

Does that make sense ?

I dont want to be accused of being lazy when i am depressed but i dont want to be lazy and blame it on depression.
