I'm skinny,have beautiful hair and good personality. There's just one problem: my face is ugly. Makeup doesn't really help, all it does is make me feel more self-conscious. It makes me feel as if I'm just wasting money and time trying to look pretty when in fact I just stay ugly.
Can someone pls help with some advice,nice words or something? This is REALLY bothering me!!!!

he counts calories and once told me he only takes in about 800 a day. my mom calculated his body mass or something before and it told her that he should be eating like 2,300. but he refuses to eat. he eats cereal and teddy grahms and that's about it. except on school days hopefully he eats his lunch but we can't be sure seeing he's at school. my mom's tried to scare him and tell him his bones are going to be weak [cause she's already dealing with osteoperosis] and that he won't grow right when he hits his growth spirt or gain any muscle mass. he looks completely emaciated. and now he's turning down going to restraunts he loved before and saying he wants to eat at home when i know he wont eat more than cereal and its really starting to worry me and the rest of my family. but we can't shove food down his throat, he's really stubborn. anyone have some other idea of scaring him into eating or anything? all he does is eat his cereal and work all those calories off with excessive exercise.

I am a youth, but I am more mature than my friends and classmates. I feel I am "old" sometimes. I feel anxious or confused about the things happened around me. I really need to read some good books about how to deal with the world and how to get along with others. Please recommend some fiction or non-fiction books about these topics.
Thanks a bunch.

I currently take Depakote (1000mg) for headaches and Abilify (10mg) for something vague. The doctor never really told me what it's for specifically, but I think it's for paranoia and perhaps schitzophrenia. Shortly after starting the Abilify, I became very sleepy. I would sleep 9 or so hours a day and still be groggy. The doc cut my dose in half for a week for my body to adjust, and it helped for a while. Now, though, I'm sleeping 10-12 hours and usually fall asleep during class or end up taking a nap on days I don't have class. It seems that Abilify causes insomnia, but I've got just the opposite, and I'm wondering if it could be the Abilify anyways. Thanks in advance.

I've been dealing with depression over several bouts of cancer. I decided to seek professional help. I've seen two psychiatrists now and they both say my husband is sabotaging my improvements so that he can keep me in control. They claim that he prefers that I am depressed as he has more freedoms when I depressed. For instance, when I am happy and smiling, he has a habit of getting right in my face and saying, "I caught you! You're smiling and depressed people aren't allowed to do that!" On repeated occasions, I've told him that I don't like it. We will have plans to do something that day, but after he does this several times, I get depressed. At that point he tells me that since I'm depressed, he's going to make other plans to go out with the guys for game of golf or to the bar to drink. Do you agree/disagree with the psychiatrists? I am too close to this situation to decide.

I've been waiting for months for councelling sessions to start on the NHS, but I'm getting a bit frustrated at the wait - it's not easy to deal with depression and having to muddle through day to day, sometimes I really don't feel I can cope.

I wanted to know how much private councelling costs on average, to see it it is a viable option.

I have always tried to help everyone who has asked it of me. I have run into two different people with the same types of personality, they are both very needy and I’m willing to help them, but I’ve run out of things to say or do for them. I have gave them my shoulder , helped them seek counseling, medication, help from the churches, tried to get one financial help, did all the foot work for Medicaid, financial assistance, all the programs, I even opened up my home, but it’s always the same thing, everything I say or do goes in one ear and out the other. I am very discouraged. I have run out of advise, and ways to help. I have been talking with them for months and every time it’s “ I don’t know what to do or where to go, no one will help me” But I’ve tried so very hard, I’ve offered everything I could, I helped them seek help if I can’t offer what they’re looking for, I’ve always been there for them and always tried to help them, but now I have no more to offer, I have done everything I should, said everything there was to say, extended myself beyond my limits. And now I’m finding that I am depressed because I feel like I failed them. This morning I was even scared to open up an e-mail from one of them, but I did any way and…..”No one will help me, I don’t know what to do” AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! Now I need the help because I don’t know what to do anymore. I think it’s spreading and I feel like a bad person because I have nothing more to say. Has anyone else been through this? What did you do?

He said that my mood changes, headaches, blurry vision, un-awareness, is being caused by anxiety about something sub-conscious, something that I am not consciously aware of. Like maybe a sense of stress or something. He said if it gets worse or does not get better to come back on Tuesday or Wednesday. But what do I do now to relieve that anxiety?

What happens in the brain when someone is obsessed? Does it serve any practical purpose or is it just chemical mis-firings?

I really don't know where to start! I have a good job but it's getting old and it's not very satisfing. I'm in a fairly new relationship and not liking it much. However, I jumped the gun and got a place with this woman and her two teenage boys a couple months ago and now I feel responibe for them... I don't think I can just leave them. I'm not completely sure if I want to. I don't really know what I want. Somedays I want a brand new life, new town, country, job (if any), girlfriend, bills or rather lack of, and look. My life feels so un-important and boring that I don't like to think about it, but that's all I do all day long! I just can't keep going like this! At one time I had thought about killing myself but changed my mind when I had a close brush with death... not by my own means. So I want to live but really just to see the end of the world. I must be the most screwed up person in the world! I don't know what's wrong but it feels like a big chunk of me is missing.

My family gets in my head. I want to live my own life my way and raise my kids my own way. My brother belittles me and humilates me in front of family and my own kids. I ask him to stop it somehow is my fault for having issues as he is behaving perfectly normal. My mother is the queen of guilt and manipualtion, trying to control me and how I raise my kids and she cant' see that she does this. She insists that she watns what is best for us and that she loves us even though I will have consequences for my decisions and will regret how I raise my kids. She is a lovely Christian lady and eveyone tells me how lucky I am to have her. She threatens me with 'someday your kids will hurt you like you hurt me' just because I wont' let her alone with my kids (I dont' trust her not to undermine me). I feel caught in confusion. Like a web where I feel abused but everyone insists that I am not. They love me so much. I want to trust my own perspective, but how can I do that when I am clearly wrong???

My problem started six month ago. I started to be unbelievably insecure about everything I do. The worst is my walk away from the place I work and live. I switch of everything I can and then I double-check everything...and then I do it from two to ten times...it's so irritating but I really can't help myself. When I finally leave I become really unsafe and I have to come back even if I am far away...Then I double-check it again...It helps time to time, but sometimes it happens that I seriously think of my house burns away. It's not just about my walk away from places...It happens whenever...but everytime the end is one big tragedy in my imagination ...ike someone from my relatives dies or something like that. Don't you know how can I deal with it?Thank you.
