Recently a lot of major changes have happened in my life. My mother is suicidal, and very depressed. No one in my family will take care of her, it's up to me to be there for her. I'm not complaining about that by any means. My father sent the whole family for a loop when he said he didn't want anything to do with us anymore, because his real family (his gf of 7months family) is his family, and not us. I can't find a job, and to be truthful, though I go on countless interviews, i'm almost happy I can't get one (but i really do want one, just the one I want not a crappy min. wage one).

I need to find a way to deal with the stress because it's harming my relationship with my boyfriend of three years. What makes it more stressful is that it's in long distance mode right now. Any advice or management ideas would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

Okay, about 8 months ago I got high for the first time. (On JUST weed.) I was upset over the loss of a family member, and did way too much. Everything was spinning, etc.

Anyway, since then, I have periods of mental lapse, as in, i'll forget something RIGHT after I do it. Or, i'll feel like i'm having an out of body experience.

As crazy as this all sounds, i'm completely sane, and I haven't done ANY drug since.

Could there be something wrong?

okay, this might sound weird, but please read what happened 'cause i need help!!!
i was going to work yesterday when i saw someone on the other side of the street who looked EXACTLY like me [even the clothes] walking. First i thought i was hallucinating. When i followed him to the store and he wasn't there, i thought i just needed to rest. But then the deli guy said, "you again?". I didn't understand what he was saying so he just said nevermind. Since i was there anyway i asked for some smoked ham, but he said: "umm.. are you kidding? you just bought 2 pounds of that 5 minutes ago."
i felt really weird so i just left. Then today, a few hours ago i went to this restaurant and the waiter who took my order said, "hi Pete, so what do you want for lunch today?" at first i was surprised that he knew my name, but when i asked him how he knew, he just said that i was there for breakfast. I don't really know what's happening, but can anyone help me or give me advice on what to do?

Not like 'They creep me out' but where it reaches a point of panic and mild hysteria (Even after it's dead). Are there any kind of tricks or something to rid the fear of crawling little beasties? I'm tired of sleeping on the couch =/

I hate my father so much, I never do anything to him but he baits me and then it turns into a full screaming match, which in the end he says its all my fault and then writes me a document outlining all the things that 'I don't know about his life' and that I'm the one with the problem. Every day he is lazy, is not flexible he always has to stay in his routine, everything is about him, he does nothing for me, and everything is 'tit of tat' he will only do something for myself or others if he is going to get something out of it, he doesn't play the father role, he hates taking my sister to and from school, claims 'why do i have to do it', blames everything on everyone else, contradicts himself in arguments and then the arguments just go right of subject because all he wants to do is win the argument; and the list goes on. I need help, I believe my father has gone and I have a angry over bearing defensive abusive person to replace him, I don't want to leave my family home what do I do?

Is there a connection between eating disorders and self mutilation?
I'm 16 and I have had a slight eating disorder since the 6th grade and a severe problem with self mutilation since the 7th grade. My eating disorder has steadily gotten worse as time has gone on, so has the self mutilation to the point that I think about it almost all the time and I have an urge to do them whenever I get stressed or feel like I'm losing control. I feel like cutting myself because I feel fat (I'm 5 foot 3 and weight 140), I feel like I should have been better at keeping myself thin ( I used to weigh 115). I feel like I've failed at everything and I'm pissed at myself for now doing as well as everyone wanted me to. Also, my mom likes to hit me and verbally abuse me. I can't do anything about it at this point so I'm just trying to wait until college to get away. Do you guys think this stuff is connected? Is there a connectiong between eating disorders and self mutilation? I don't know what I should do.

they're too expensive to buy on her own. just one of them is 700 bucks. only has a generic. There's gotta be a way for sick people to get medicine if they have no insurance right??
she's not working because shes 'mentally not stable' i guess... and she's attending frequent meetings during the day.
Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, with NO sarcasm. THanks!

I have borderline personality disorder. I asked a question before about it & I mentioned how it was destroying my relationship with my boyfriend. I honestly believe he thinks it's total bull what I tell him I'm going through and that he thinks I am making it up to get some kind of attention from him or that I make it up to avoid certain situations.
How can I make him believe & make him see that what I am going through is real & not something I made up just to piss him off & fight all the time and that his constant badgering me does not help anythign any?!

I am 16, and about two months ago, my grea-uncle died. I cried at the funeral, but after that, I never cried again. This past week, I have cried myself to sleep every night, for no reason that I can figure out. Please, can someone tell me what is going on? I can't do this much longer.

Was on lexapro for two years but it stopped working after a while. Started prozac now 10mg but it seems to be making me more depressed. Only have been on it for 3 weeks though.

The act is always mentioned with terms like "coward", "weak" and "selfish". I think it takes a lot of guts. There is a chance that if you do it wrong and live, you could end up disabled. People will think you were just trying to get attention. Also, if there is a hell, you are likely going there.

People make a big deal about how much you hurt your family and friends, people get over death all the time. A person suffering has to put up with it for years, so not to upset a handful of people for a few weeks?

I have thought about it many times, but have been unable to bring myself to do it. Aren't I then the weak one?

Suicide is a response to a person's problems outweighing their ability to cope. Also, some people ar just wired a bit differently to begin with. If you cannot understand that, then you have obviously never been there and have no right to judge.

My 17 year old brother has autism (low functioning) and for the past few years he has attended a military boarding school. People have said that he has "grown out" of autism since being at the school. I was just wondering if this is physically possible.

I'm hearing about savants and how they use their minds in extroidenary ways. The photographic memories. And then we only use 10% of our minds at once. I try so hard to understand. To look further than what we see. And I end up banging my head on the desk and wondering why I'm not like that. I just want to be smarter. Be deeper. And when I fail it's hard to breath and I lay on my bed suffering an anxiety attack. AhHH...?????

For whatever reason, and it's been a while, I can't seem to control myself anymore. I always seem to wake up to and fall asleep to a bad/hostile mood, I'm angry or at least anxious/depressed about everything, and I'm pretty much anti-social. I feel like I lost control and meaning over my life, and that I've done it all. I feel ultra-jaded, and no matter what I do, take medication, exercize, go shopping, succeed in life, nothing at all seems to make a difference for me.

A's in school did nothing. Money does nothing. Sex does nothing (well temporarily it feels good), but I mean I can't seem to get meaning or pleasure from anything, and I just don't really care about anything or anyone anymore.

It's dangerous because I don't care about myself, and I don't care about others.

I don't know if I have depression because I don't feel gloomy or have low self esteem. My problem is more,...negative thought patterns which take over my whole being, and anger, and hate towards others.
