Me and my wife have had our ups and downs like everyone else, but she thinks being bipolar is just my excuse to act the way I do.She feels if I would just try harder everything would be roses.It's really frustrating because I get discouraged and want to just give up! I try to get on track with meds and all but she is constantly on my back to the point I feel if the meds aren't working well enough to satisfy her why bother?

My biggest problem is that I just cannot stand noise. This year I want to heavily focus on studying and getting good grades, and I've had a bad start. My first two years were horrible. I could not stand having a roommate my first year but somehow I lived through 9 months with him, but I suffered at times. I lose focus very easily and just cannot focus on studies unless I'm in a place VERY quiet place. The thing that bothers me the most is TV noise. I don't watch tv. My current roommates are nice and keep the living room tv at a decently quiet volume. But quiet volume to me is still LOUD if I can hear it vibrating through to my room's walls. All I can focus on is that noise and it give me a headache the entire day, again even if its not "loud". I've tried and tried to ignore it but it never works. I've come to the conclusion that I cannot overcome this. I'm thinking about moving to a studio next quarter(expensive), but I want to see if anybody else is like me in this way.

"Drama Queen" is applied to those of a particular personality that require consistent attention and adrenaline rushes.

The more extreme versions of this personality likely suffer from "Histrionic Personality Disorder."

However, I was wondering if there was a more professional term for those who have this particular personality?

I am in college and I have a lot going for me, I mean I have a boyfriend and I have made lots of new friends, & I am doing well in school. Its just that I feel like bc I have been with my bf for so long almost 2 years he does not try to do special things for me he really acts like more of a buddy then a boyfriend, & all my new friends are nice but I miss my old friends bc I am not as close with them anymore for various reasons and I feel a gap when I hang out with them like I am not in the circle anymore. Also even though I am doing well so is everyone else I am used to being standout smart and I don't feel like my intelligence is being acknowledged. I really do not know what to do I really just want to stay in bed and not get up, bc it is just not worth it. I am heavily involved with various volunteering organizations, but lately they just really depress me. It hurts me to see so much pain in the world & so much hatred. Does anyone know what i should do to get out of this slump?

My father abandoned our family when I was two; I only saw him three or four more times until he died, when I was ten. I have so many emotional issues connected to him, but I can't get answers, obviously, because of his death. I'm 22 now; how do I move past these issues?

Ever since growin up into teenagehood i alwasy felt im different from the rest of the kids. I thought im more mature n understanding. But the rest of the kids seemed so out of loop to me. I had to try to fit in in order to find friends
But i got 2 really bad depressions.
For some reason i always thought i had great 6th sense and im also very good at talkin to people and influencing people.
Im great adisor to my friends and I always know the right argument.
However i still think that im differennt. Ive been readin about religion now and trying to think what is the definition of my feeling.
I know sosciety says that psychic abilities can be fake and im also a lil hesitant about it. But what if i have psychic abilities?
I remember when i used to talk to girls i knew what to say.
Is it depression im facing or is it just teh fact that i might actually have some psychic abilities?

It was about just what I've been saying....too many kids are being diagnosed with bipolar..when they're not...And..too many are being given too much medicine. The little girl on there died from being prescribed too much clonodine. JUST BE CAREFUL!!! Just because a dr. says something ...doesn't mean it's true. You have to use your common sense too and RESEARCH, RESEARCH , RESEARCH !!! What do you think about this "bipolar fad"??

I never seem to have the motivation or energy on the weekend. During the work week, I feel more motivated because it's work, but during the weekend, I have really lost the sense of how to enjoy myself fully. I go places, but never feel like I totally enjoy myself. Most times people ask me what is wrong. I usually hang my head and feel less than satisified with life. There are times things need to get done around the house that I never start. Instead, I do nothing, even though this will obviously cause me inconvenience (or worse) in the future. I have suffered from depression in the past and have taken medication for it. However, my life situation is better, but there is no other explanation for my lethargy, lack of motivation, or being just unhappy with life. I am familiar with mood disorders and this is sounding more like dysthymia given the length of time that I have felt this way.

Thoughts?

What depressive medications help the most with motivation?

iv been trying to figure out if im depressed. i dont think i have any reason to be but sometimes i get very down. i hate my high school and i hate home. the only place im happy is with my friends but even still i get upset when im with them and either dont show it or just automatically suppress my feelings without even trying. i have a few suicidal tendencies. i try to talk to my friends but they have their own problems and i am forced to help them instead. I've harmed my self a few times when im really upset. but i still dont feel im depressed because in public i tend to act happy without trying almost as if i am happy but the second i am alone i want to fall on the floor and cry. someone just tell me am i being a teenager or is there something wrong with me?

My heart beats so fast that I think I'm dying and its hard to fall asleep cause I dont like the fact that I have no control in my sleep and I fight my sleep a lot. I feel like someone who's getting euthanize...slowly fading away...but fighting to survive. My psych put me on Trazadone...but now I wake up hearing voices/noises when everyone's asleep. I know...I'm crazy in your eyes...but seriously I need help. My psych isnt listening to me.

you know you are not properly fat eg.obese or overweight etc in fat you are at the low end of normal but you can obviously see that you are bigger than your friends know question even though they eat twice as much as you?

When you feel so fat that everyday it is the only thing you think about but you can't talk about it because your skinny riends just sit around you with their chocolate telling you are being stupid and you thin away even though you obviously are?

When you stand in your dance class in your leotard looking at how everyone there is half your size and the fat is bulging out the sides?

And even when you don't eat you stay fat and when you do you want to throw up so bad it hurts?
i hate it and i can't bear it any more!
