& that Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is all about hand-washing & staying clean, & that Bipolar is all about being happy or sad, & that schizophrenia is all about delusions & multiple personality, & that depression is all about suicide?

There's more symptoms to these disorders than the ones listed.

I have come very close to smashing my computer with my fists because I paid for this wireless network service, & it's not working. I know destroying the computer would make things worse, & I'd have no computer. I really need help before I lose it. Would it drive you crazy if every 2 minutes, your paid wireless internet service disconnects?

First of all, I take Dilantin (100mg three times a day) and am having some horrid panic issues... I feel panicky all day everyday and the medicine the doctor gave me scares me (buspar, the side effects freak me out) so I went to WalMart and bought two things. 1. Natrol 5-HTP and Valerian root.

My questions are, do those two things have any side effects? Has anyone been hurt by taking it? And, will either one of those interact badly with Dilantin? Oh, and has anyone used them for panic disorder?
I called the doctor and he said he didn't know and that anything sold over-the-counter isnt very strong...

A lot of people think they may have personality disorders, But when it comes to doctors, they make a careful diagnosis. In actualality, people's symptoms fit in to a bunch of different "labels" Do you agree that doctors may be over diagnosing people with personality disorders?

To those of you who feel that the USA has given you an unfair deal! Why not leave?

Find another country that has everything you want! One that will listens to every little bit of BS you have to say!

You claim that you believe in majority rule! However, when a decision has been made that is contrary to your views, you cry, and pout!

So why not go where you’ll be happy!

Because to stay here in the USA means as long as there is ONE AMERICAN solider fighting and dying overseas, we need solidarity, not your sarcasm.

My sister laughs quietly but she does it randomly and no one is saying anything to her. She doesn't talk to herself, and she hides herself from others. All she does is read books and stay in the house but that's about it. She does get angry when someone asks her to do some chore though.

I'm not looking for jokes for answers here. I'm 28 yrs old, female and EXTREMELY forgetful and get confused easily. I have a high IQ (142) so I know I'm not slow.

For example... two nights ago, while on my way home from a family members home, my car started making ticking noises. I pulled over and decided to pop open the hood to try to determine the culprit. ( no, I was not panicing either).... anyways, I've popped my hood numerous times b4 and never had issues. Well, this time I did. I couldn't figure out how to open it! I forgot all about the hood release button in the car! The following day, I took the car by my Dad to see if he could figure out the noise (which ended up being something wrong with a blower) and to see if he could figure out how to open the hood. He then pointed out the hood release! How could I forget this?

I also forget when people do things. An example... EVERY night I forget when my hubby kisses me goodnight...whats wrong with me? Any suggestions?

Hi. I guess for while i've circle around this question. In seeking help i've felt it important to realize that I have and am trying, even if it's not in the forms that seem to work. Hence, my question, having tried multiple therapy/group progams and hospitalizations and asking in here .. i know, even if i don't believe it, that i'm trying to get help.

What i've also noticed are my shortcomings on getting help ... given my lack of socialization, economic status, insurance, etc.

Though i get that recent line is somewhat an excuse, so what isn't. My journals indicate all the things i don't want to be, or do, or become, though can't seem to list any of the do's (no matter how much i've tried). I get i have multiple issues ranging from detachments, isolation despair, etc.

So, the ? is, what options are there. I know i'm not suicidal, though i know i'm not an extrovert nor any desire to become one.

So what do i do, thinking more is needed to be posted by me?

Okay, I've already been told that I suffer from depression and avoidant personality disorder. I've also just learned that I most likely also have paranoid, borderline, and dependent personality disorders. I don't know what I'm going to do, because pretty soon I won't have any insurance. I'm pretty sure I need to be taking medication and to be going to therapy, but I don't know how I'll do it. What should I do?

My ADHD son recently joined the military and I am sensing that I am very glad he is gone and away from here. He was a constant problem throughout high school, he was in numerous fights, couldn't keep a job, and his teachers and vice principals were constantly calling. Is it wrong for me to feel happy that he is gone and also is it wrong for me to feel that I don't want to talk with him? I wrote him every day while he was in boot camp, but now I just don't want to bother.

I'm on 20 mg of lexapro and trying to recover from a major depressive episode. which is my first. I'm trying to recognize what triggers my depression but I still can't pinpoint anything specific. All I know is that I suddenly crave something sweet like pepsi ( I used to drink a 2-litter bottle daily but not any more) and then feel so depressed. Do you ever experience something like that?

When I grew up in the 60's I never knew anyone with the illness. I mean these people today are REALLY sick. They're not making this up. They scream and talk nonstop, jump up and down, think they have super powers over others, etc. It seems like when the 80's came along Bipolarism was born. Does anyone know what caused this? Your thoughts are appreciated.

does anyone know what the differences between lithium orotate or lithium aspartate in the way they function are? especially towards the treatment of mood swings.... regarding usage for thyroid i heared that the orotate can be used for hyper thyroid (graves desease especially) and that aspartate can be used for hypo thyroid. but what about towards the treatment for bipolar? i think there is a lack of information on the alternative forms of lithium, at least here in english.

I don't know how to explain this even though a lot of people go through it. First off I really don't have any friends, I find myself alone all the time when it's nice out or bad, I am alone, just my family. I can not even hang out at a party for too long because I feel left out because everyone look so perfect and they are all succeeding at something and me I am still stuck back in the gutter. I am 17 and I have my whole life in front of me. I really want to be come a competitive boxer but my family have bad luck with money so boxing is out of the question do to the fact learning by myself will only develop bad habits and will not get me into the game. I am no good at school, actually I hate it, my grades are poor, and I am good at nothing, I have searched and yurned but no potential in anything has showed up in my life. Honestly I am ugly, never had a girlfriend in my life, I am over weight a bit, besides my immeditate family, I can't hang out with my other relatives.

I have tried much and achieved nothing; mocked by idiot neighbors, penniless, without family and friends and ashamed. I can't fake it anymore, I'm not going to be anything in life. I'm old as well. I'm holding on with the skin of my teeth.
