We CAN all cope.

What do we need in our armoury to try to cope then.

1. Confidence
2. Knowledge
3. Back up
4. Friends
5. Self reliance
6. Determination
7. Know our own limitations
8. Be calm under pressure
9. Make logical reasoned decisions
10. Realise only we can do it

The prime, underlying thing you will most need will be
the most difficult to try to do, sleep.

To have any chance of coping well under undue stress,
you have to have eight hours unbroken sleep. Period.

This is singularly the hardest thing to do, to let go when
you are under the highest stress, but you must do to cope,
preferably without sleeping pills.

To truly sleep under grim stress you have to be aware
that there is only so much you can do in one day, and
also some days you cannot alter or affect what is the problem.
Also some days you will get absolutely nowhere.

Identify your problem, or problems, as they have a habit
of multiplying at bad times.

Please help!

I think I'm depressed. I'm so used to it, it's part of everyday life. People are always asking me what's wrong and I'm surprised that it shows when they ask. I'm obviously not smiling, but when I don't smile it looks like I'm sad - my face is just there. Am I supposed to be a smiling billboard whenever I walk? I just don't want to be here.

Anyways, I don't have a reason to smile. As soon as I get home from school, I fall asleep. Honestly I have no desire to do anything else, but sleep - even after I wake up, I still feel tired. When I'm asleep I have no feelings of frustration, boredom, sadness, or anger... You can't really blame me for wanting to go there.

I wouldn't consider myself suicidal, but -_- I feel that my life is pointless. The only reason I wake up is because I have school... and even then I'm doing so horribly. I'm always procrastinating (

Okay, I've been diagnosed with panic disorder (i've said this on here about 500000 times). Anyways, I was looking through some yahoo answers and someone said doomsday is 2012 and that completley freaked me out. I'm terrified as it is and my sister said there is nothing to worry about because it was supposed to be in 1999 and 1988 too. So what are your opinions on this and PLEASE dont make me any more nervous than I already am. Seriously I think i'm going to have a heart attack right now. This is ******* freaking me out.

superpowerish thing that a human can possibly do? And how can I put my weird and pointless abilities to good use. Like I can jump 4 high. Uh...oh! And I can like "detect" in a way like radiation froma certain distance with like a weird buzzing in my head. And I'm all like do you hear something? And everyone's like no. And I can sense or sometimes even feel another person's emotions even when they're hiding it. But I can't control any of my abilities they just go on by themselves. I'm trying to teach myself to jump 5 feet. But then it'd look stupid if I fall that high.

I feel overburdened with stress I feel to anxious most mornings to get up and deal with the world, I can’t sleep at night because I feel guilty for not going to school, and I feel stressed because I don’t know how I can survive in the world without an education, but getting one seems pointless to me, In fact this life seems pointless to me, I want so bad to believe that there is something more but I can’t seem to find it. Every job that is out there has no appeal to me because I don’t feel like I’m helping anything this is problematic because without having the motivation to work towards something I can’t go to school it’s a never ending circle that I don’t know how to come out of I feel upset all the time, and the only thing that has ever kept me going is love, but I feel so unloved lately that I can’t deal with it, I feel like I have nobody to talk to about my true nature, I’m alone in a city and I know people but I don’t want to open up to them because I don’t want to burden them.

I really don't know, but it seems that people with borderline personality disorder are often misdiagnoised initially with depression. Maybe I am wrong though, maybe if you have borderline personality disorder then depression is a part of it????

-I always feel like I'm being evaluated in public.
-I get uncomfortable when I'm walking down the hallways in school, or sidewalk
-I get EXTREMELY uncomfortable when I'm in a public place by myself (I'm always afraid that people will pick on me or something).
-I'm really awkward talking to people that aren't my close friends
-I tend to think people are purposely trying to make me uncomfortable when they talk to me (Like if a guy says "hey!" to me I'll think that they're just trying to mess with my feelings).
-I feel self-concious a lot
-I get tongue tied A LOT
-I'm very shy
-I get embarrassed veryyy easily, and I tend to think of my embarrassing moments a lot even though they happened years ago
-I tend to plan out situations before they even happen, and what could happen and stuff
-I feel misunderstood a lot
-I'm veryyy empathetic

Help? I am a serious dude, but whenever I get into a meeting or library or something of that sort, I begin to think about funny things, and then I start laughing out of the blue. One time, I was around my friends and I just started laughing for no reason! They looked at me like I was crazy. Another time I started laughing in the lunch line for no reason. What is wrong with me? What can I do to stop the madness?

It doesn't matter what time I got to bed. 9pm or 12am, when I wake up at 5am or so for school, I'm always just as tired in the morning. Throughout the day, (Mostly the first few hours of the day.) I struggle to even stay awake. Today, I went to school and immedietely took a nap. I slept for 4 hours, and I would have for probably longer if my mom hadn't woken me up. I'm still just as tired as I was. I can't think of what else it might be. If it is a sleeping disorder, what type is it? And it's bugging me because my grades are starting to slip, and it's not even my fault. I simply can't concentrate when I'm as tired as I am almost all the time. In recent High School years, 9th and 10th grade, I haven't ever slept this much - only this year. If it matters at all, I'm a 16 year old male, about 5'10'', and about 165 pounds.

i am more afraid of needles than i am of anything else in the entire world. when i was little i would try to run away from the nurse giving me a shot, and if they wouldn't let me out of the room i would start attacking the nurses (that's actually embarassing for me, i am a pretty peaceful person and i'm not proud that i've done that).
i've talked to people (to the school counselor once even), tried numbing creams, tried closing my eyes, listening to music, everything nothing works.

i don't think this is something i can snap out of, whenver i go to the doctors i always think i'll be okay and i promise myself i'll stay calm, but as soon as they bring in the needle i totally loose control and go crazy. this sounds stupid, but i feel like an animal, i'm not even thinking straight. i'm panicking and just trying to get away or keep the nurse away from me. i try really hard to control it and stay calm but when i see the needle i just. can't.

what can i do?

(it's sort of long, sorry).

Once I get picked to write on the board in front of the class such as doing a question spontaneously at the moment my mind gets blocked and I can't think clearly and logically and I end up making mistakes that I usually don't. I can't get this fear away and may be because I don't get to write on the board often I think I have a fear of writing when people observe me.

I know I'm a nice person but I hate a deep rooted hatred of myself. I hate everything about myself. I was mentally abused by my parents from as far back as I can remember, that made me a natural victim and I got bullied at school. I had no one to turn to. And to this day I won't ask for help off anyone. I consider it to be taking and I'm a giver.
I still feel bad for asking a bunch of strangers but I'm 28 now and haven't spoken to my parents in years but I still hate myself. I have to hide it from my friends too, which is killing me.

I've read several books about adult ADHD, and they all seem to emphasize the use of medication. I have nothing against the use of medication, but I can't afford it right now. Is there any way for those of us who have ADHD and can't afford medication to effectively manage our symptoms?
