A lot of men seem to not plan on having children unlike women who think about it since childhood. When a man has a child I truly believe that they don't love their child, infact they seem disconnected. Are men that emotionless that even when they're married, have a loving wife, and children it still won't make them happy. I believe that no man has the right to see their children because they don't care about them. The only useful thing of a man is his sperm and thats it. Men also obviously don't know what love is, all they know about is having sex. Before all the men start bashing me I'm a virgin, have a brother, dad, and mom. They all treat me well and we're a loving family and yes I've had a boyfriend before and they were all good guys. Its just that all the men I see whether married, not married, fanicially well or unwell, they all seem to have something in common and that is the lack of love toward their children and family.

I can't be the only one. The idea that a bunch of glorified readers of classical and pseudo-classical tropes can actually lock you up is bloody terrifying.

Lately I have felt really unmotivated. I know that it is the summer and I should be doing things but I haven't really been able to move. I don't want to go to work. I don't want to hang out with friends. I don't want to leave my house. I shouldn't be feeling like this I am only 16. I am tired and I get these horrible headaches all the time. What can I do?

i have a friend who is majorly depressed. she is a year younger than me, and she cuts a lot. she tries to go to her teachers to talk to them about it, but the teachers always seem to cut her off, or leave. she was recently at the hospital because of her problem. she emailed me many times. do teachers care about their students? how come they cut this girl off. they know she is suicidal.

way as to not come off crazy, even though perhaps I am. I have spent the better part of the last three years stressing myself. I mean heart pounding daily, tranquilizers, psychotropics that only made me more stressed. I have done damage I know that, I have hurt those around me who are not well psyhically. As bizarre as this sounds and trust me it sounds bizarre to me. I was wondering if I were to give my life so that another could live would that make up for all the damage I have caused those that love me. I mean I would hurt them I know that but another good person could go on if I were to take a bullet that was meant for them or ............ok I am rambling like a psycho I know..............I am just trying to make sense of what I have done these past three years and this seems like the only way to make amends. Thanks

He is 24 years old and very healthy. Earlier today he started acting weird and walked away from the living room into a dark room and held his head, then when we got worried he got angry and said he wants space.

Now he's telling us that he barely remembers what happened. He says he walked into a room to find something, and then got dizzy and started feeling really weird. He said things became really difficult and he had to really think hard and concentrate hard for simple things and he was getting confuse. He says he is forgetting things and barely remembers the incident where he got angry. Now he's insisting we leave him alone and let him sleep, but he is still really weird I can see it. He is not as assertive as he normally is and kinda just lay there and waited for us to leave...

Please help. Is there any danger? What could it be? Is there any cause for concern? Could it be possible that he got a concussion or something? I have no idea and am really worried. Please help...

I know it seems scary but i eat healthy and feel normal. I do activities like other ppl too and i dont get worked up when ppl ask me bout my weight.I just wanted to tell ppl out there that if your happy with urself..care the damn of what others think. just as long as u stay healthy and hapyy.

I am a 13 year old girl and I always get so frusterated and agry at nothing. My Nana (who is very strict and controlling) will walk into the livingroom while I'm sitting on the couch using my mums laptop and she will say "I'm going to go pick up grampa and then im going with Mary-ellen to workout and then I'll be home and we can have lunch" or something like that and I'll be so mad i want to punch her. I get so frusterated and angry at stupid things and i feel like I'm in darkness, i mostly get really mad when I'm talking to my Nana. I also get very sad and i used to cut but that isn't really my problem. If i am doing something like if im on the computer or playing videogames (mostly computer) and someone bugs me or tells me to do something i get so mad and i was wondering why am i getting so angry, especially at my Nana?

My stepbrother is horrible(but my stepmom constantly says "oh thats his personality type and he will be SOO succesful in life because everything is all about him" *snore*, and sometimes i feel like my parents ask me to do things because they know he won't do them. So I'm cleaning the kitchen twice a day picking up after people and you know i partially understand because my step mom is stressed out with her new job and everything. But it's summer and i really needed this summer to relax and wind down. Is it selfish for me to think that my relaxation takes precedence over doing my brothers chores so my step mom doesn't have to deal with him?

I live in the UK and am currently on holiday (!) in Spain with my parents where they live. It's miraculous that i even made it here since i'm depressed and suffer various anxiety disorders incl PTSD! The airport was a MAJOR trauma, i ended up curled up in a ball in a quiet corner crying my eyes out. My parents TRY to understand, but are constantly on my back about not wanting to go out. I wouldn't have come in the first place if it wasn't for my 4 yr old anyway! They try the guilt trip saying i've gotta do something with my son while i'm here. To be fair they are taking him out and about, but not without a grumble, and they do have a point, but they make me so much worse! I've tried explaining to them but they CAN'T understand, that's not their fault but.....GRRRRR....it makes me angry and it's driving me more nuts than i already am. ADVICE PLEASE!!!!

patronised you, mentally taunted you, demoralised you....and now that you have mental health problems and your lifes been shattered...their all laughing, giggling, wearing huge grins, pleased with their results..
im 30 and have bpd now and somehow have to pick up the pieces of my destroyed life...
how do i not let this rage inducing thought drive me over the edge?
because now anyone that i feel mistreats me or patronises me..or in some way tries to manipulate and bully me...i cant deal with it and i get rage feelings..
can this cycle be broken?
or have they instilled this mentality in me? distorted my mind and the way i view the world?

Isnt happiness just the feeling we get when our brain releases chemicals(i.e. dopamine)? If that is true, then isnt the goal of life to find activities that directly or indirectly target this outpour of brain chemicals?

Personally, I think that life is about two things: Contributing to society, and being happy about you individual life. Contributing to society is straightforward and simple; but being happy about your own life is the hard part.

If my premises are correct, can you please give me some ideas on how to activate the release of postivie brain chemicals, so that I may make it through today, and tommorrow, and the next day....

I recently made several changes in my life from leaving my home state, to leaving someone after 10 years, to quitting pain pills etc. I feel so lost and sad all the time, I am sick of dating and dealing with bs, I have no focus, I dont want to eat.. just blah! I think the seratonin stopped working due to the pills I was on. Anyone have experience with this and how did you overcome it?

I'm in a confused state these days. Over 8 mos ago, my ex(the only guy I ever at one point thought I'd end my life with) passed away at the untimely age of 30. It's been very hard for me to get over, & recently I've been feeling more depressed about it than ever...8 mos later! I will have a dream about him or something in my waking life will remind me of him, and then I will sink into a state of depression and it'll be near-impossible for me to snap out of it for several hrs. :(

I've also experienced a surge in sexual desire. I've always been overly sexual, but lately I've taken comfort in hanging out with my ex's friends(people I'd hooked up w/ before we'd started dating), since we can relate about my ex. I don't do drugs, so sex is like my drug to focus off the pain of my ex. I'm getting more dependent on it, to the point that I'm writing about this while at WORK!(obviously my mind's not on work) It seems to be 1 thing or the other...think about sex or be really depressed...
