I recently moved North after spending 5 years in warm, winter-free climates. As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler, I find myself getting depressed and unhappy feeling. What can I do about this?

Everyone reacts to stress in a different way.. and some people can cope with stress much better than others. How do you react to stress, both physically and emotionally, and what strategies do you have to help you cope?

My boyfriend has panic attacks and anixity. He suffers and has been every kind of drug you can imagine. He says he just wants to feel normal. Can anyone give me any advice on how to help him? I feel helpless. These drugs have change him into a feelingless person. I feel like they have made him very hard to talk too. I myself do not take any meds. So I have not a clue how to help him understand anything when it comes to these meds.

I am taking a university course this fall and today will be my first biology lab. There was a lot of work we were supposed to have done for today and I'm not confident I did it right. I guess what I'm worried about is that I'm not intelligent enough to do well and I'll look like a fool. I'm so tense and worried right now I keep wanting to just drop the course to avoid the situation, but I've already invested 100 dollars and I want to take the course because if I do I can hang out with my friend Troy 2-3 times a week which I never get to do. I just need help calming down right now.

Serious question, so please, no smutty or childish answers.
My wife used to have loads of interests and was quite an active person.
Now she seems to have lost all interest in life, and is content to get out of bed at lunchtime, and sit in front of the telly all day with the curtains closed until it's bedtime again. Never going anywhere and never meeting anyone.
She's got a disability, but it doesn't impair her physical ablity to do things for herself. She just chooses not to bother.
The situation I'm trying to help her with seems more to be a general umbrella of lethargy and apathy, possibly bordering on depression.
I so desperately want to help her, but she doesn't seem to see this as a problem.
How can I get her motivated so that she wants to pull herself out of this downwardly spiralling rut that she's found herself in?

Seriously I feel otherworldly, disoriented and weirded out after I spend at least an hour of intense study on either one of these subjects. I can't really explain the feeling, it's very clandestine.
Anatomy and Physiology I find extremely depressing and I feel I'm the only one who feels this way.
I am not looking for advice.
I would just like to hear from other people who might have the same feelings as I do about stuff like this. And also, how do you overcome it? Is it really OK and normal to feel this way?

I'm depressed nearly all the time, & therapists tell me to think positive & don't focus on the negative. But the minute I become happy, they wanna diagnose me as bipolar. Since WHEN has happiness become a mental illness? Everyone has highs & lows of life! Why does the term bipolar even exist? Why is it even a diagnosis?

So I'm 16 just started high school again two weeks ago. And already I've missed two days on account of this sleeping problem I've had. The thing is I cant sleep at night. I get off the computer turn off the tv and get in bed. And I end up just laying there for hours at a time. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression last year. But since then I really haven't been all that depressed. Now I'm afraid my anexity/depression is coming back. I worry a lot about things more now and I find my self being sad/down a lot of the time. I broke up with my girlfriend a while ago, and that really didn't help any of this at all. I really don't know what to do now. Its 1am and I should be in bed but I just cant sleep. I would ask my mom to set up an appointment with a doctor/counselor today but she might think its just an excuse not to go to school. Could some one please tell me what to do?

But every time I try to pour my heart out to my mom, she thinks it's a load of bullshit. I'm not doing well at school and I feel so stupid all the time. I think I'm going to break.

My parents don't pay much attention to me cuz they are already on the edge with my older sister who pulls her stuff every week. I just don't want to send them overboard with my problems.

And I don't want to be the "disfunctional" one in my family. Like, "Oh, your brother's so smart, and your sister is so social, and you... well, you're unstable." I don't want to be the one in my family that has to take medicine so I can act normal.

He is a serious alcoholic and he knows it bothers me a lot. He nearly drank himself to death 3 yrs ago and ended up in the hospital for 31 days over pancreatitis, shock and renal failure.
Last nite he was here at my house and suddenly got up and left after I fell asleep. This morning at about 10 am, when I called him and asked if things were ok, he said he had to leave last nite because he was sick and went home. He came over about 2 hours after I called and reeked of stale alcohol on his breath from the nite before.
I realize I am not going to cure his drinking habit. I just wish he would quit lying about it and trying to cover it up. He tried to sober up about 3 yrs ago and his family was non supportive of his sobriety and kept inviting him over for drinks and parties. He did not have the strength without family support to continue his sobriety. He drinks 1/2 liter bottles of Vodka daily and works full time.
I dont know what to say or do. Help.

1. I'm a dude.
2. I haven't done anything to let my urges subside for about a year now. I cannot focus, I can't think. I'm much more bitter. If I keep waiting, will it eventually go away, or will it just make me worse and worse?

I'm tired of being hurt, & I'm tired of my own brothers & sisters, including twin sister hating me. Besides, if I died by accident, they'd make a joke & lie & say it's suicide anyway. I'm just so depressed right now. I'm tired of being unappreciated, misused, & abused & never being good enough for competitions like jobs & stuff. People tell me I don't have a right to have fun, I don't have a right to reproduce kids. I'm crazy & this & that. I'm tired of being hated, I'm tired of the grudges, I'm tired of being poor, I'm tired of my mental illness getting the best of me, & I'm tired of the doctors judging me & shoving pills down my throat. I really need help, & people ignore me & say it's a cry for attention. I wanna be normal like everyone else. My like is destroyed because of my past history. How can I forget about it?

***& Yahoo! you're pathetic & abusive to give me a VN for trying to seek help. I really don't wanna die, but my life is getting worse. Tired of struggling & stress!

everything just seems to be falling apart. even small things start to bother me anymore. i keep most everything to myself, hoping that it'll just go away after a while. then one little thing sets me off into yelling and screaming or sobbing uncontrolably. my friendships are falling apart because of my inability to do my share to keep them going and i'm getting father and farther away from them.

lately part of my mind has been telling me to break off all of my friendships and keep everyone at a distance. that it'll be better for me. the other part tells me to keep my friends. i'm not sure what to do.

i have been suicidal for quite a while. i also used to cut and smoke. i've been tempted to pick up the habits again, due to my attempts to go to a theripist being ignored by my parents. i've tried to keep my mind occupied by doing things. i used to write to keep my moods balanced, now i can't think of what to write.

i'm not sure what to do anymore. any advice?
