A friend was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and receives diability for it. I don't think she has BPD and I think she should at least try and get a second opinion. But, I don't think I could ever convince her. Yes, I realize I could be wrong and that's why I'm asking. I really do care about her.

I suffer from depression and I find it difficult to do anything. It's to the point where I don't even want to get out of bed. I don't want to use the word lazy, because I hate that word, but I am just getting worse and worse. I would appreciate advice and information.

You hated someone so much that you just couldn't stand the sight or even thought of them, but it's almost impossible to ignore them. In fact you're stuck with them 24/7 because it is yourself.

I have a lovely six year old son who has ADHD , I just was wondering how other parents deal with their child when they seem out of control. It's rather hard to deal with my son in the morning before he has his meds I can deal with it but my other children don't have much patients for him especially his 14 year old sister, but then again she don't have patients for much of anything ugh! Help! lol :-)

Okay, so I read somewhere that antidepressants can cause mania in bipolar people if there is no mood stabilizer present. I've tried a few different antidepressants. Both have made me suicidal and gradually worsening hallucinations [which I didn't have before the meds] with a few other side effects. Could I be bipolar or is it I just haven't found the right medicine yet?

diagnosed with ADHD at 8. started ritalin 20mg at 10-11. stopped taking medication for a few years. started concerta (18mg then 36mg) about a month ago, and on my medication ive been getting a lot less sleep without being tired afterwards, ive been VERY irritable, and frankly, paranoid as well. i think it may have something to do with the pressures of a new school year, and my familys recent trauma, but i cant help to ask
can ADHD medications increase irritability and/or paranoia?
also, my eye twitches, should i bring that up at my next appointment?

how do people act during a panic attack? i know i get them but i never remember anything.. i just know my hands and feet get tingly, i get dizzy, i shake really REALLY bad, i cant breathe, and i cant stand up, but untill it stops i dont remember anything after that... i never have any idea what happened.. do people usually cry or pass out or get violent or just stop breathing.. what really happens that i dont know about? i have been having them at least 1x a month for the past year. i know i have been having them recently because of an extremley upsetting breakup that was full of lies and now im having them 2 or more times a day... but i just dont know what happens when i get an attack.. what do people typically do during the attack...and i dont wanna be told to go to the doc. or be pumped with meds that i dont need.

Last week I asked a question about how I can stop some of my negative behavior and turn around. I'm happy to say that I've improved a little this week by controlling my anger better and finding ways to keep my emotions in control. But now I have to face probably my most difficult challenge yet. My fetishism. How do I stop indulging in it? How can I get rid of it? (if possibly) It's like a drug, I don't want to stop, but I've gotta before it eventually destroys me. It's horrible, it turns me on in ways I've never felt before. and also I'm sharing this w/ someone 8 years older than me. How do I tell him I want to stop? How am I gonna do this? Please help me. I'm 16, a disturbed teenage girl whose done alot of bad things. I've been depressed and angry since I was 13, when everything just collapsed, but I want to turn around now and make up for my horrible behavior. I want to start rebuilding my life.

I have to compulsively do things, unwanted thoughts pop into my mind (sometimes of aggression or violence), have to move things, check things, etc. I find it hard to relax...I find myself in a rush all the time when I shouldn't be. Sometimes I'm irritable. Thoughts and worries stick in my head like super glue...I can't get rid of them no matter what. I make myself sick thinking and worrying. I feel sort of sad a lot of times, I've lost interest in things, my life is bad, nothing can get better, etc. I sometimes think that everyone hates me...or is always talking about me or thinking bad things about me (like if someone looks at me while walking I'll ask myself "Do they think I'm weird? Ugly? etc.). Ya...one of the bigger things is the constant thoughts and worry in my mind...it just takes over my mind, the thoughts and worries just repeat themselves and I can't turn it off. Once I start thinking about something I can't stop. Someone will be talking and I won't hear them because...

Hey people, lets get one thing straight I aint putting this up here for attention if I wanted that I’d stand on a high building. I feel really low all the time, but I dnt know why, I have everything I’ve ever wanted material wise, and a fair bit of cash, but I feel empty like I have nothing to live for I have good frends, but I cant talk to them on a emotional level, (I’m a 17 yr old guy) even if I could, they don’t really care neway. I cant talk to my family because they’ll land me in counselling yet again, which really doesn’t help. I’m just really low now every night all I can think about is killing myself, to end my pain, and it feels like the only way out; but I’m scared that it wont work, I dnt wana take pills coz they dnt work and I could wake up in hospital, I have a knife in my room, but every time I try and use it, I jus cant, it jus makes me feel really crappy,l like I cant even do that right. Has anyone got any advice on what I should do, (no sarcastic answers plz)

this is a serious question for people who actually want to help me.
you can be mean and get your 2 stupid points but i would really appriciate if i get some feed back.
thanks in advance.


i dont cry over anything physical like cuts and bruises or anything.
im 18, female, living at home with my mom, her new husband, and my half sister (their baby) who is 2.
i also have a boyfriend that lives over 1 1/2 hours away.
i work full time and dont really have friends.

when i go to bed, i have a hard time sleeping so i end up laying there for hours and i end up thinking. a lot. about everything. i usually end up crying because i get so upset.
this is pretty often maybe 5 days a week. right before i sleep.
i never really felt depressed exept at that moment. i wanted to know if there was something wrong with me... is this depression..? only... part time depression..?

symptoms:

I. I freak out doing public speaking
1.my heart races like crazy, my voice staggers, my hands shake, everything in me becomes cold and shivery, I can't concentrate

II. I don't like public areas/events
1.i dont like going to public things where there are plenty of people staring and walking; i always feel like im the center of attention to them.
2.i dont like asking employees or any stranger for help or anything like that at a public place. i prefer to do shopping and things on the net where i dont have to talk to anyone. even talking on the phone with strangers doesn't suit me.

III. i freak out before taking MAJOR exams (like APs)
1.I always believe that i dont have enough information in my head and my heart beats pretty fast when i come upon something that i didnt study--even if i know the majority of the rest of the questions.

IV. im VERY sensitive to even the most unharmful insults/mean comments, questions/critiques

what is this and how do i treat this?

my brother and sister got into a car accident, there both home now. But it dosnt seem like anything at home is getting better. Im only 15 and its really hard for me to watch my mom and dad, people who are supposted to be my "rock" break down and cry, to have everything everywhere with no control or structure, to have mom and dad at eachothers throats, to be the neighborhood charity box. I've become numb to everything. I push it all into the back of my mind and forget about it. Im completely withdrawn from everything. I dont care anymore. Its like in in my own bubble. I feel invisable, and alone. None of my friends get what im going through so they cant help. and its not like they care anyways. i told one friend and all she said was "that sucks" and walked away. I feel like im going this alone, and i cant do it by myself anymore. I wanna crawl into a hole and just be left alone. This whole month has been too much, one thing after another. im completely stressed i just want it to be over

I feel like my friend is ignoring me.
I have this friend, she is a senior, and we have known each other since I was 3(she was 5). She has been great at helping me get throught last year(see other posts) and I need her to be there for me again this year. I have no clases or lunch with her. I have emailed her about 20 times and she has not once emailed back. I see her in the halls about everyday and she used to say hi but she did not today or at all last week. I have also tried to im when i thought she might be on, but after i did that, i went back on the computer and saw that she deleted herself from my messenger.I have no idea what i did.I mean i did not even see her that much over the summer to do anything wrong.Why is she doing this?This is not at all like her. I don't know what to do. Am I just overreacting?I am going to try to talk to her when we come back to school on Monday, but I don't know what to saw, I don't even know if I will have the guts to talk to her. What should I do?

As a child, I grew up in poverty. But I lived in a small town where I'd say about 99% of families were indulging in extreme wealth. I was often socially ostracized, frowned upon, and made fun of in school because my clothes were visibly second-handed and pretty much worn-out. I am now an adult, and I am terrified to speak to people that appear to be in higher physical financial, physical, or social standards than me. When I talk to them or ask them a question, I can't look them in the eye, and I'm terrified that they are going to take one look at me at first sight, and flee in disgust. I've yet to test that possibility because I am terrified to even look at people that I've described. If anyone has a clue what to label this type of phobia, or mental disorder as it may be called, please go ahead and post a reply. Thank you.

Today hasn't been the best day for me and I'm just looking to improve my mood.
I got a 68% on my first speech in class. The girl I really like in class was talking to the guy she sits next to and I never got a chance to talk to her. My FAFSA (Financial Aid) just came in today and it's only paying for about 1/4 my actual tuition.
Ughhh
So basically I'm listening to kinda depressing songs I have on my computer, currently Rain by Chamillionaire.
You guys have any tips?
