I mean, I know you can alienate friends and family by discussing your personal problems with them too much.

Does the therapist work because he/she listens objectively, and you feel better after venting? After all, we all really know the causes of our anguish, right? It just depends on how much we want to share with others. What do you all think?

Is your mental illness who you really are?

If I were ever truly happy, that would prove I was quite insane.

I'm thinking of leaving the east coast with all the snow and cold weather and looking for places that are sunny and where the people are warm hearted.

There are people asking serious questions about medications, child care and hurting themselves. If they are serious questions, why do they turn to "Answers" when they should be seeking professional help?

u kno how people can picture their life like years from now. i'm in my late 20's just graduate college and i try to picture my life and i swear i draw a blank. i can't see myself! I don't have an urge to have kids like most women do and I don't see MY future and I don't "feel" a future for me like others do. maybe I don't see a future b/c I'm not gonna have one, could that be? does this mean i'm gonna die young?? I say that cuz some celebrities that died -- it's been said they "knew" they weren't going to get old and die - they were gonna check out before their time. how do I know this isn't me too - i'm worried.

me to under go an assesment for psychotherapy which they say will take time, plus they said there setting up ocupational therapy to, which is another period of assesment where i won't actually be doing nothing yet.

where im coming from is im tired of it, im 30 years old, have bpd and struggled mentally since 16. ive never done anything with my life, never achieved qualifications, never had friends or a girlfriend.
i cant even get my psychiatrist to perscribe me any xanax for my extreme anxiety which prevents me going out. the psyche said there addictive and is reluctant to perscribe them.


so im waiting around, apartment bound going through all these lengthy assesments to see if therapy is right for me.

when my top ambition is to move on with my life and quickly..i want to emigrate from the uk and go back to france or further out, build a new life.
so im eager to move on, i dont like britain and want to move away..but i feel kept down by 'the system'
what should i do here?

people from future depressive episodes....??

Reason I ask is that it NEVER has for me..... Keep eventually havin relapses even though I have seen different Counselors on & off for the last 8 to 10 years.....

My belief is that medication IS GREAT at handling depression BUT that therapy is really a long-shot in terms of making real progress.... that has been my experience.... now tell me your oponion PLEASE.....

anxiety problems and you jump, and have panic attacks at the slightest things?
i can't even make eye contact, im constantly nervous and anxious and are skitterish to whilst out.
it makes me feel a fool and inferior, like a weak intimidated 30 year old.
if anyone looks at me especially other males, i panic, feel uncomfortable and cant make eye contact.
this in turn leads to frustration, then anger, then aggression.
then, in the past, this has lead to outbursts of rage, because i couldnr hold my own and be confident..and feel in control.
i wish i could feel fearless, confident and in control, but this anxiety problem makes me feel at the mercy of others..afraid.

and it makes me frustrated and angry because im feeling other people make me feel this way when outside.
i try to be confident, make eye contact when out, but i can never do it.
i have a history of being bullied, attacked and victimised in the past, growing up in adolecance.
has anyone got any advice on what i can do?

I have been really low for a good year or so now. But I'm not constantly low. Sometimes I will be really happy and energetic, and then other times I will be just down, lethargic, and not really interested in anything. There have been times where I have even lost interest in my favorite hobbies. Like I said, I have been dealing with this for over a year now, but I'm not sure. I guess there are some things that I can blame it on, including the following: no friends at school, no friends coming around anymore, never having a girlfriend, making less than spectacular grades. I find myself often times beating myself up mentally, I call myself ugly, and I consider myself worthless. I also think of myself as a waste. I feel like I am a person taking up precious air for someone else. Please provide some insight into this.

My brother's therapist says the he is suffering from depression. He is 13 (I am 15) and my mum thinks that it was caused by my (now 5 year old) sister when she was born because she took the attention away from him. I can't help but shake the feeling that I helped cause it because... let's just say I wasn't that nice to him all the time...
I need some advice on helping him out of depression and for me to stop thinking I caused it because my mum says I didn't.

Who can i turn to for help, I don't seem to be able to talk to my family Dr. I feel fine for days and then wham its like someone pull my cork and all of my good thoughts are gone and I can only think of sucide. I am so afraid that when I am down some time that I will take some pills, load a gun, or just go to sleep with the car running.Why am i so afraid, when I am out I don't want to go home and when I am home I don't want to open the door to anyone. I see hope as a dim light at the bottom of the well. Where can I go to make the light shine brighter?

Alright...Well I've been extremely depressed lately with losing my job a few months ago I have fallen behind on bills, before that I had a long struggle with my father being an alcoholic, and moving around as a result of their divorce has also taken it's toll on me. My dilemma is....Should I keep working 68+ hours a week to catch up on my bills a little quicker or no? My full time job pays enough for me to catch up within about...two and a half months. But if I work both jobs I will probably catch up...In about a month and a half...

Working two jobs is taking it's toll on my mental and physical health. And my mental health is already poor. I can't think straight anymore, I barely sleep. I barely have time to do laundry or eat....Or take care of things around the house right now. When both job schedules conflict I end up getting only about 10 hours of sleep in a 3-4 day time period because I try to get as much as I can done around the house.

Is it worth working two jobs?

Heres how it works a person plants the baiting question then the other person working with them gives the company answer all to promote a certain brand of drug. You know in reality a large portion of anger and depression is not caused by chemical imbalances but by mere circumstances and dealing with mean people. Something the drug companys dont want you to know or think about.

I have bipolar disorder and in the past when I had my manias, I would have these incredible episodes of psychosis where I would hallucinate or hear voices. I induced these manias by sleep deprivation and putting my body in extreme stress. Are there any other ways (non-drug) of starting a psychotic episode?
