Okay the other day I tried one simple basic technique, and it calmed me instantly and it also trained my mind to not think evil or unpleasant thoughts. I love it. I would like to learn some more techniques, nothing complex please, just simple ones that last a couple of minutes.

Thanks to all that answer x

Can a person with bipolar disorder completely forget about one of their episodes, even though it may have lasted for weeks?

Ten years ago I gave up work and had a family, the time has now come for me to return to some kind of work, but it terrifies me.Obviously partly as i have been at home too long but also as when I worked before I suffered from severe panic attacks brought on by being in a stressful job.I worry that they will return,it took me years to get over them.I dread doing an office job or working in a shop as I think I will get stressed.Can anyone suggest a job to suit, or help in any way?My hubby is fed up and wants me to contribute to the household income.

I start my new job tomorrow morning (Monday) and I am extremely anxcious today, so much so that I have taken more of my medication that I am allowed. I really do not think I am capable of working/meeting new people.

I am a diagnosed OCD and Agoraphobic sufferer.

My question is how do you people cope with these disorders on a day to day basis at work. This is my first professional full time job after I have left University.

My main fears about tomorrow are:

- meeting new people
- embarrassing myself if a difficult situation occured
- people judging/looking at me
- fear of experiencing a panic attack in the office infront of everybody (they can be brought on by just talking to someone)

My doctor says that I should work and keep my mind busy. But when I have all these thoughts rushing through my head it is extremely difficult to concentrate on anything else.

I don't think I'll last a day in this job to be honest.

I have been suffering from anxiety and depression, have already had a leave of absence from work, and 3 months later I'm coping just as poorly, if not worse, than before my leave. I work with very negative people and not a very supportive team. I can't take it any longer, but am too exhausted at the end of my work day to look for something new. I don't have much savings, but I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. Would it be completely irresponsible to give 2 weeks notice without something else lined up?

Hi,
I was raped 3 months ago and I really feel like I need some one to talk to but I don’t know where to start. I had a councillor last year because of being abused, but this councillor betrayed my trust and kept trying to push me into prosecuting the abuser. I really didn’t feel ready at the time .Then the abuser raped me 3 months ago. Now iv started 6th form and I really want to be committed to my A levels but I just can’t be because iv always got things on my mind. I really want to do well but I feel totally alone at the moment. I have lots of friends but I just don’t feel comfortable talking to them about something this personal and I just cant face telling my family as its just too much. I just don’t feel I can talk to the police about what happened and if I go to see another councillor I don’t want that to be the focus or be pushed into it. Does anyone have any advice?

I have been battling an eating disorder for the past four years. It is still a huge part of my life, but it is slowly getting better every day. I recently talked to my doctor about everything and he prescribed Effexor XR for depression - saying that it would help my eating disorder and my 'out of control' feelings. Well, I have not taken the medication yet, and have been doing a lot or research online about it - and have seen that this particular drug makes you gain a lot of weight when you take it. Because of my past, I don't know if that is something that would be smart for me to do right now....gaining weight is one of my biggest fears in life, and I am terrified of falling back into my eating disorder every day. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this drug - my doctor says it is not supposed to cause weight gain at all, but can have horrible side effects. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

i'm in a depression (and therapy) and I still think about suicide quite a bit. Many times a day, actually. How common in this? What can I do -- it doesn't seem like such a terrible option. What do you do when life is just too much? when you feel this tormented?

This guy I've been talking to for a while called me last night and told me his best friend was hit by a drunk driver and died. He's talking to me on the phone and he's going hysterical, sobbing, and asking me why life is so unfair because his friend was such a great guy. After half an hour or so I manage to calm him down and all he keeps asking me is do you love me? I tell him as a friend I reallyy do, but that's it because I hardley know him. (He's liked me for a while- but he's 18, I'm 15...so I never really thought anything of it) Basically he goes, well thats all I want in my life..for you to love me, so he sais he has nothing left to live for and he's going to kill himself and then hangs up. I called him, text him...and no reply. So this morning he calls me back and sais well thatks for being such a good person and being there for me...but at this point, I'm freaking out. I want nothing to do with him anymore...and he keeps threatening suicide. What do I do?!

I never used to dream, or rather at least I never remembered my dreams. But lately I have not only remembered my vivid dreams but I have found them mixing into my reality. ex: I dreamed that I made a business call. In reality I didn't make the call because I thought I had already done so. I regularly wake up in the middle of talking in my sleep. At least I think I wake up. For all I know it might have been part of a dream.

I am on meds for bipolar two. 100 Seriquil at night, 175 Lamictal morning and night, 150 Effexor morning and night, and .5 Ativan at night. Seriquil has been increased from 50 to 100 in the last few weeks, but until now it has always knocked me out cold. I would be in a deep sleep only 10 minutes after taking it. I still fall asleep quickly but I can't seem to get into a deep sleep.

I never remembered dreaming before. What's going on?

Erm...when I was eleven I think my grandfather raped me, whilst I was asleep in his house. I'm not sure whether he actually did thoough, because I dont really remember any of it, its very fuzzy and its more the aftermath that makes me remember it...if that makes sense. I'm fifteen now....and I dont know what to do. The memories I've repressed are coming back but the memories are very basic..I cant stand him touching me or talking to me. He leers at me sometimes in a really horrible way. I'm very nervous, i cant sleep away from home, I check closets for men before I go to sleep.....
What should I do?

really reflect who you really are as a person?

false things constantly being said, hysteria, people trying to influence others to perceive you in a way you do not want to be perceived ...

things that will caused you to be outcasted by people....

how would you deal with this? or how can you?
