I'm a teen & on a waiting list for CBT. I was on holiday last week and I'm scared someone may have phoned to arrange an appointment, when the phone was switched off. I'm so desperate for some help that I'm freaking out if I miss a chance. I enjoyed my holiday, but my anxiety ruined some of it. One night, we went to eat out and were placed in the very middle of the room. I hate eating in public, especially where everyone can see me, so I barely ate any of my food and began to feel ill. I felt miserable and disappointed in myself. My parents were angry with me for not eating and obviously forgot that it could have been my anxiety. After that, I was very annoyed and ended up getting into a huge row with my parents over the hotel room key. It was a ridiculous argument, but strangely, I felt like the world had ended or a disaster had happened. I wandered off by myself and sat alone for a while, just staring at the stars and thinking of death. I don't want to die, but strangely...

I have a nervous problem and I self harm. I also go into these rages sometimes when I'm arguing with my boyfriend and I'm ashamed to say I have slapped and scratched him. Anyway, when this happens and when my boyfriend sees me self harm, he slaps me back and holds me on the floor really tight to restrain me. I'm getting help but should he really hit me back? Is this right, and should he get help too? I'm so depressed about this situation

My grandmother, who I was very close to, died of cancer when I was 12. After she died I never cried but went on with my life as if she never existed. I have, however, suffered bouts of depression, anxiety and panic since then. Recently I found a picture of her and started remembering times we spent together when she was alive - which is nice - except that soon afterwards I became incredibly depressed, anxious and panicky, worse than I've ever felt in my life. I feel so sad and afraid I can't even leave my house. My fears seem so ridiculous. I'm afraid I'm going to get sick and die or suffer or be in pain. Does there seem to be a connection here? Could it be that I'm finally grieving her after 30 years (I'm 41 now.) I'm so confused I don't know what to do.

..but what can you do when you have a parent who drinks heavily every night and then takes on responsibilities that they should be sober for? My mother has a problem and I hate saying she's an alcoholic ( I hate that word ), but she has even admitted to it while she was intoxicated. She won't admit it while she's sober. My father died two years ago and ever since she's being heading down a bad road. My sisters and I have tried intervention, but it doesn't work with her. She doesn't think she has a problem. She is effecting our lives with it and at times will get into arguments where she will have had seven or eight glasses of wine and all logic escapes her completely. She becomes defensive and once that happens, all rationale goes out the window entirely.

I really need your honest answer to my question.

My fiance passed away last week after being in coma for 3 days as a result of a car accident. He had 2 months left to get his PhD and was truly loved by every single member of his family, to the extend that his little sister is all mute now, the mom is in denial of the death, and the older married sister is obviously very upset. She is also pregnant, and all I can do is to watch her and try to make sure she's taking care of herself and the baby :( It is also very hard for me to focus on her and keep an eye on her. Life just sux for me. Yahoo Answers is the only thing coming to my mind to find out the answer to my question. Will this much stress, depression and pressure of the death of a very loved one have negative affects on the baby? If so will you please tell me what?

I get very lonely
all day I feel scared...
I manage to sing songs all day to keep myself fron panic
when I see people they look away or I do
when I look face to face I'm afraid of eye contact... I think people are looking at me in a bad way always..
i obsess about dating... if I had this girl that girl id be happy..
if I could talk to women , people in general I'd be happy...
It feels like I'm sick to my stomach... almost to the point of bile movements if I don't run away from conversaion which feels like confrontation...
my parents think they lock me up so I say far way form any real
medical help. they say if I can handle doing this than I can do that. so I smile all day and I'm nice but I really wish I could ease away the pain... anyone have a clue what I'm going through....It's basically like my confidence leaked out the bottom of a barrel.

So I feel like i'm a fairly well-adjusted guy. I had a wonderful family growing up, money's never been a huge issue like it is with some people, I'm going to propose to my med student girlfriend of 5 years shortly and I'm achieving moderate success and popularity on the music scene. I live in a beautiful condo with low-rent. Life's good.

I started taking lexapro for some anxiety issues that gave me stomach aches and it's been working great! My question is, does anyone else, despite how seemingly "normal" they usually feel (sans medication), ever randomly think about just turning the wheel of the car into oncoming traffic? Do you ever think, "Hey, I'm alone right now, I should go in to the kitchen and cut myself open with one of those steak knives...?" But you never do, because you know yourself and you'd end up calling 911 and troubling the firefighters with your stupid mistake....Is this some form of spontaenous depression or is it pretty common?

Need your opinion. Do you think that I resolve myself of stress by doing what I had typed below?



Well the way I relieve myself of stress is to basically act in such a very odd matter that it confuses the hell out of everyone. It is always fun doing that and also the fact that I am not afraid of embarrassing myself in front of people thus I can committe myself to do anything without fear.

It is for me. The beer has made me enter my other personality, and I don't care for her sarcasm or coldness! Her name is Roma, by the way. But I keep her well hidden most of the time.
I have to spare all others from her cynicism!

I'm so sleepy, but I can't get to sleep. It takes me a good 2-3 hrs to get to sleep, and when I am asleep it's a restless sleep, waking up every few hours and having to go through the process of falling back to sleep. I have a lot of stress in my life at the moment, so this isn't helping. I get the feeling of being so tired it's like walking around in a fog, and I'm constantly forgetting things if I don't write myself a sticky note. I lay in my bed, with every thought imaginable running through my mind. Everything from my ex boyfriend to what I had for lunch. I can write lists galore, but they never help. I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm going crazy from the mix of sleep deprivation and stress. Throughout the day I have to take a deep breath so I don't snap at someone, and I usually have a very passive personality, letting people get away with almost anything. I find myself just sitting there, my eyes locked on something in the distance, and unable to move, blink, or think.....

How do I get rid of the fair amount of anxiety I experience on a daily basis? I know everyone experiences some level of anxiety, but I think mine is more than normal, and lately I've been told by others that I'm extremely irritable and need to chill out more. And they're right! I hate feeling overwhelmed, on edge, bothered, and having worriesome thoughts constantly going through my head. I can never enjoy myself with anyone, anywhere, these days. How do I get myself back? Is it necessary to get on antianxiety meds? What's the normal step by step process on relieving anxiety? I sleep A LOT and I think it has something to do with my anxiety and trying to avoid life. Thanks for any input.

I saw a psychiatrist over the summer and got unexpectedly diagnosed as Bipolar II.
I don't really trust the diagnosis and I haven't since gone back to the psychiatrist. I would, however, like to figure out what is going in my life, and Bipolar II is the only starting point I have.
My energy has a terrible way of grinding to a halt whenever novel or pressing external stimuli are removed. I have a hard time getting up in the morning for anything routine (lateness has always been a problem). If I sit down at a computer I often lose many hours browsing aimlessly, getting increasingly depressed. For example, I woke up today at noon, read articles from reddit.com for four hours before finally working up the strength to leave my apartment. If I manage to work out (run, lift weight, do jiu jitsu, etc..) or spend time with friends I will feel great for several hours. Everything I've ever done in life is marked by a short enthusiasm which slides into a depressed haze. Any ideas what's up?
