I'm already seeking a counselor.
Have no friends and not very social. I work part time and spend a lot of time online. Im in my early twenties and finished college. Live with my parents. I'm tired, depressed, emotionally drained and suffer from anxiety and obsessive compulsive. Can you write down some steps or activities I can do on a daily basis to slowly work against the depression and eventually get rid of it. It's a black cloud that is slowly taking over my life.

Is there any studies that document the effect that listening to music while sleeping has on REM cycles?

What changes have you noticed while listening to music at night? More/less restful sleep? More/less dreaming?

I recently just got back from a 2 week holiday with my family.
My mum was checking our voicemails and there was one for me

'Hello Holly
It's Me
You're Dead

You c**t
You c**t
You silly little c**t'

My mum insisted on phoning the police but they didn't seem overly enthusiastic to help.
The only people with my home number are friends and I don't know of anyone angry with me at the moment.
I'm not really worried for my sake but my mothers very shaken up by it all.
Is there anything I can do to calm her down and reassure her?

Thanks

Hello!

I've just read that hyperventilation can be a cause for panic attacks, and an effect of deep breathing. On the other hand, in all relaxation techniques deep breathing is an important element. So, how come a core element of relaxation techniques can actually trigger you a panic attack? Am I missing something here?

I also know that people with anxiety disorder are encouraged to try to relax but, won't this lead to hyperventilation, trigger a panick attack and enter into an endless vicious circle?

Thanks

By the way, I've read about these things on Wikipeidia (articles: "Panic attack" and "Hyperventilation")

Okay, for the past few days I've been a jackass. Here's my story. I send messages to one of my friends on myspace calling him a loser for not helping me out with a plan. My plan was to get back at a friend of mine who called me his best friend but I thought I wasn't. My plan: to alter messages he sent me on myspace and send them to his girlfriend and make it look like he was saying bad things about her. Then after that, I planned on throwing rocks at him and stealing his crutches because he broke his foot. Then I just started lashing out towards my other friends. I told my teachers that one of my friends was cheating and not siting sources when he was doing research and I nearly got him kicked out of college, I got two of my female friends into a cat fight after telling one another one was saying stuff behind their back, I have sexually harassed girls, I called most of my friends dick heads, gay, and losers, I even physically assaulted some of my friends. What is wrong with me?

I recently have begun feeling very depressed about something I heard about myself a few years ago. Here’s my story: About 4 years ago when I was 11, I’m 15 now. My Mom had brought a few of her lady friends over to our house to drink tea and talk about books, movies, and other stuff like she normally did. She would do this annually, but when I went up stairs into the kitchen for a snack I could over hear them all talking and laughing in the living room. I normally wouldn’t listen to what they were chatting about but I heard one of my moms friends saying about when she got married and had her first daughter, she said “I was on Birth Control for a while and I never remember missing a pill and found out I was a few weeks pregnant” Something like that, but then my mom replied to that and said that both me and my little brother were born even though my husband used a condom both times. I knew what sex and condoms were back when I was 11, but honestly I really didn’t think about it and so it didn’t seem to bother me that much. But recently for the past few months I have been coming here and reading what seems like dozens of stories about births happening due to Condom and Birth control failure. I can’t get over this depressing feeling of unwantedness, the fact that my parents never intended on having me and even took precautions to prevent me from being born. I never told this to my little brother and I’m glad I didn’t because I wouldn’t want him to feel the lack of self-esteem I feel. I know that my life isn’t worth any less then anyone else but I still feel this depression that I just can’t seem to get over. Any Advice or suggestions on how I can forget and move on would be greatly appreciated or if anyone else would like to share their own similar stories that would be great. One thing I want to say is that when I get married and have kids I don’t want any of them to be “accidentally” born because some piece of latex failed.

I can't stand being alive anymore, it's just too damn painful. I've been clinically depressed for a year now and it's killing me. The last year has been one bad thing after another. First, my best friend runs away, gets raped, comes back, and is found to be pregnant. Then her abusive father kills her unborn child...my godchild. Then my girlfriend starts being distant and I screw everything up with her; I might have lost her forever now. My family hates me and I despise my school. I love my friend, my family, especially my girlfriend...but what can I do? No matter how hard I try, I only make things worse. I can't take this pain anymore.

Why shouldn't I just kill myself and stop this forever?

I'm 14 at the moment, 15 in 11 days, and I'm pretty sure I have an eating disorder.

I sometimes eat a bowl of cereal in the morning, but don't eat anything else until I go bed, except maybe an apple. I don't eat my dinner, I avoid it altogether. I say I'll eat it later, to my parents, and then leave it.
Some days I just don't eat at all. And I always go out and walk down the fields in circle until I burn 500-600 cals on my pedometer. I do 1200 sit-ups on my ab-machine every other night. I always obsess about how I look, and it makes me depressed a lot, too. I also just hate myself for eating food if I end up having to eat dinner.
I just want help so I can talk to someone and get back to normal.
How do I tell my parents so they can get me help?

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter for any of you who send feedback. It is very much needed and appreciated. So. Im 23 and new to San Diego and came here to break a vicious cycle i was headed on. Little did i know what everyone has always said was the truth, that you cant just run away. so Here in San Diego, a beautiful person with so much to offer the world, I cant even face it because I chose the wrong path and have lost myself along the way. I need help and most importantly I want to Live again. I now have the willingness to be openminded and honest with myself so i can truly recover from my disease. thank you so very much for any positive feedback. It will be greatly appreciated.

i've always been this way, but lately i feel it more than ever: i'm extremely moody and can say the meanest things to people, only to regret it and think about what i've said for hours when they're gone. i feel very sad, to the point where i'll feel sick. my parents and sister dont take me seriously when i tell them that i think there's something wrong with me. I get into many fights with my parents, and they always threaten to kick me out, although i'm only 16. i've had a really bad childhood, and i can't stop thinking about some things. i havent sleps these past two night, although i'm exhausted. I dont know what to do about my moods. at times i feel extremely mad, but i'll feel cheery within a minute. i feel really lame talking about htis but i have no idea what to do. i feel invisible compared to the attention my big sister gets, and at times i wish i could get so sick, that they'd feel sorry for always yelling at me and threatening me.
what should i do, i wanna be happy

I took Prozac for about a year and a half for general anxiety and OCD. I hated feeling that the new psychological changes I was experiencing were dependent on medication. Also, although it was nice to not have so many panic attacks, I felt lost without my OCD as the medication was finally starting to decrease those symptoms. I pretty much quit cold turkey in May and haven't taken any since. The OCD has certainly seemed to come back, but I hadn't really noticed any return in anxiety until recently. Will the anxiety return to the level it was at before I began taking the medicine? Could it just be a one time thing (because I would have thought that if the anxiety was going to return on a regular basis it would have done six weeks after I stopped taking the medicine- when it completely leaves my system)? Thanks...

Ok the first one isn't too wierd. my food can't touch. (sandwich can't touch fruit, pickles, chips, ect. pork chop can't touch mashed taters, green beans, ect.) Second is really annoys people. i have eating routines. Lunch- Sandwich, yogurt, fruit, chips, desert, and then drink. Sometimes my friends ask for some of my fruit, or desert, but i can't even stand opening it or handing them a peice, or even them taking it out of my lunch box.
I was at a friends house for dinner and the plates were really small, and the food was touching. i seriously couldn't eat it! i just picked at it, and i even felt a little sick eating the peices that didn't touch anything. It doens't bother me that i do it, but i just wanna know what it is and if i could stop if i wanted to.

I have recently been diagnosed with depression, i returned to work last week to find out that a month ago on a night out and drinking more than i should have done, i dont generally drink, i became verbally abusive to a work collegue, she accepted my apology and i have never had a issue with her previous to this
I cannot even remember having a conversation with her, however i find it hard to believe i abused her for no reason
I was not on antidepresants during this period but i am now
Did i take my frustrations out on her?
