My french teacher can hardly speak english so I have to go to the german teacher to help me learn french so now I am failing french.

My brother has to go to Germany to be shipped out to Iraq.. again right before his son is born, then when he gets back he will be in germany for 3 more years.

my grandma just calls me to hear about my cousin (her other grandkid) that I go to the same school with and never asks about me.

my real mom said she wanted to see me at my job, but never showed... twice. I gave her my number but she never called to say sorry or that she couldn't come. I called her to say hi but she never called back when I left her multiple messages over at least 4 days before I called again.

I just got promoted at my job, so now I have a key to the place I work at, but my boss has a new job so I have to start everything up. I don't get paid. the headches start whenever I think about something bad or more happens. ibeprofen doesn't help. i'm 14. what should i do?

I bought a cd from a band I really like. I've listened to them for years, since I was in college. I haven't listened to them in quite a while. Well, I was listening to the cd today and there wasn't a song I could get through without crying. I don't understand it. I have an okay life now, but it is quite different from how it was in college. I think part of it might be someone I was involved with back in college. I had a 3+ year relationship with a woman while I was in college and for a year or 2 afterwards. This was her favorite band too. I have a man I love now, and I am engaged to him, but something about that relationship I never got over. I don't know what my question is, really, but I am shocked that the music brought forth this kind of reaction.

I'm just self-reflecting on my life and I have difficulty processing how things turned out the way they are. My youth has been miserable as long as I can remember. I don't recall a single happy memory. I am 20 yrs old and I hate how my life has turned out. I was always sad, lonely. I feel I'm all alone with no friends and social life. I never experienced the things other people had my age. My family was broken. But what really really bothers me is there were many chances in which my life could have turned out great had my parents told me about it. But its like my parents kept me ignorant to these solutions. They treated me like a child all the time. I hate my parents for this. I could have moved out and lived with my aunt and uncle and be happier but they blew it away. They didn't even inform me. Everyday I fantasize how much life could be better and sometimes I think about it so much I think I go insane. Sometimes fake memories come about on my youth.

OK. I have given a lot of thought to the idea of experience, life & what depression means in the very recent past. I have decided ultimately that I can't handle simply submitting to the depression, because while I like the viewpoint I know it holds me down - but also I can't do the drug route. I just can't, it doesn't work, it makes me uncomfortable and ultimately more anxious & depressed.

And you know, really, I can't do the therapy route, either, because you have no idea how uncomfortable that makes me, as well. I cannot and could not ever in any situation since I was born successfully express my true self verbally & I'm not suddenly going to sprout an ability to eloquently describe my emotions. Not to mention I have an embarrassing inclination to cry and it all just snowballs into this slightly traumatizing experience that I don't like. I really don't like.

Therefore, I was wondering what alternative solutions there are for depression without just masking it with medication?

its almost like things are working against me and the powers that be want me to rot on welfare benifits the rest of my life.

i was just awarded my second welfare claim, but theyve denied me psychtherapy and discharged me saying ' due to the delay in you returning your questionaire you have consequently lost your place in the assesment for psychotherapy process and we have discharged you back to your referer. '

it seems like life for along times has been working against me.
i have had a traumatic life and survived alot since 15.
i have bpd to and iam now 30.
i am so depressed because i feel stuck/trapped and it feels like ill never go anywhere in life.
all i want to do is work on my bpd, overcome it then emigrate from britain to build a new life elsewhere.
but it feels like things are working against me and ill be stuck here on welfare forever in my one bedroom apartment.
iam so depressed about this.
i really want to emigrate & build a new life & get over things.

When I told my doctor I was interested in trying Klonopin she replied with "you mean ___ ?" and mentioned that it might not be sold in Canada. I'm confused! I hear this could really help my social anxiety. I'm sure she would have heard of it if it were sold here.

Also, just for the record she upped my Effexor to 75 mg. It's not doing anything so far and it's been about 3 1/2 weeks. I was on 37.5 mg for the first 3 weeks I don't know if that makes a difference. I should've really started out on 75. But benzos (such as Klonopin) are addictive, which is the main reason I think my doc kept me on Effexor. They're best used only as needed, too, like for panic attacks and such right? Well maybe I would rather be on something long-term, so I have less chance of addiction. Of course Effexor is known for horrible withdrawl effects, go figure. Have I been on it long enough to experience those effects if I end up going off it?

A lot of family problems. I have 10 years her junior, she is unmarried, has a weight problem and parents give her grief over this. I myself have been in therapy and on medication to combat anxiety problems, but I am clear enough mentally to know she needs help. I have asked her to try counselling numerous times. This morning she woke me up, she was upset over something mom said. Says she will rent a hotel room and shoot herself in the head, says she will go and jump off a bridge. I know and feel her misery, but I feel helpless. I told her if she goes out today to try and buy a gun I will call the cops and make sure she cant get one at any gun shop (we are in TX btw, I cant go in the gunshop I am 20). I told her that I will get her committed for her own safety. I have felt like her so many times but I put my faith in God to keep me going. She is starting to feel like God betrayed her and that is why she is not looking to God for help. I am scared. I dont want her to die.

The only doctor I ever go to is a gynecologist.. I dont have a general doctor ( i guess ive been lucky enough to never really get sick.. although i know i know.. i should go for check ups)

Anyways.. ive decided I need to speak to someone about my anxiety problem and possibly get on medication..

Can i just go to a general doctor about this? Or do i have to go to a neurology/psychitrist person?

By parents threatening, or you simply were taken in handcuffs to a pvt hospital? or maybe they just coerce you to "take your pill" each day? This is only for people who dont hear voices and are not suicidal.

My question is do eating habits such as a high sugar diet effect affect a persons mental state, as in how they feel.
Does exercise like aerobics, running walking or dance have any effect on depression?
I am wondering if there are natural ways to deal with treating depression or iif it is just put the patient on some type of medication?

I notice that those with BPD tend to put a lot of ............. in their emails and text messages (dot dot dots). Ditto for their messages on internet discussions, such as Yahoo Answers

Have others noticed this? What could be the reason behind this? Is it because their ideas are disconnected?

They also tend to have a lot of emoticons in their emails/texts.
