I have been having panic attacks and just can't face going into work. I have a panic attack before I even get into the building. I have had symptoms of fibromyalgia for about 5 months now and the panic attacks have been coming on gradually over the past couple of months. I got to work yesterday but didn't even get into the building because I had an attack. I went to the doctor and he believes I have fibromyalgia and depression which brings on the panic attacks. He has prescribed me antidepressants but they won't start to kick in for a while. I feel completely disabled and so I quit my job with no intention of returning. Now I feel really bad for my boss and feel really guilty. Do you think I made the right decision?

I'm asking this on behalf of my 12 year old friend who has anorexia at a very low weight and is currently in an inpatient ward at a Nottingham hosptial. She's asked if you can refuse treatment and at what age that's possible in the UK. I thought maybe 16/18? She's specifically asked; "What age can you refuse to be force fed?"

So I told her I'd find out, but, I'm not necerssarily going to tell her the answer, I don't wanna make her worse.

psychological mind games being played with you the majority of your life.
then after all that, you hit 30, have never had any of your needs fullfilled, never made any friends, never had a partner, are aging prematurley, live alone, are lonely, have no one to turn to, was sexually abused twice growing up, was bullied throughout high school.......have BPD and PTSD to live with..... never been employed....never had any qualifications....have a long mental health history...was in a mental hospital for 18 months because you grossly over exagerated your problems to get help, they took you seriously, then sent you there.........youve been assaulted by street gangs....had your head split open.....been homeless for a year....have a minor criminal record..

so c'mon......tell me, what is there to think positive about ?

how can i ever at this late stage of 30 with no prospects accomplish my dreams & goals of emigrating and building a new life away from the uk? how can i find love?

I'm only 13, and in one weekend, I bought over $100 dollars worth of things. This is alot considering that my parents aren't rich. I buy stuff that is on sale, but it starts to add up. I don't know what to do! My parents can't afford all this and it's going to make our family homeless. I just can't stop. What should I do?

ive been lonely all my life....suffered abuse, bullying and trauma.....im 30 with bpd and ptsd.

ive never made any friends...never had any relationships with any girl....never been employed or gained qualifications.....live in a one bedroom apartment on welfare.

i strongly feel at times that its been this way because my life has been being controlled, has been prevented from going the way id like it to go.
like...only certain people i can talk to.....those who are veted and approved by the unknown persecutors..

people and girls who id like to no..all told to stay away from me...not associate with me.......there might be a girl that i like.....but im not allowed to go near her or get involved......she is told to not go near me..
like im not being allowed to go my own way in life....im being made to do it there way......im being watched..

girls that i like are a no no for me....their being told to ostracize me......only the special selected, veted girls i can associate with

I'm 33 years old, and though I earned my college degree back in 2000, I'm still working mostly menial jobs. Not only that, but I have no friends and I'm single. I'm lonely and since I don't have a career, I feel like I'm going nowhere fast. I pretty much would like to stop living, but suicide isn't an option, since I'm my mother's only child and I don't want to leave her alone in her old age. What can I do? I feel like I'm standing in quicksand!

If you have not experience PTSD or have knowledge (education such as masters or PHd) then I don't really want your opinion but I want real life experiences with this or PROFESSIONAL opinions...

I see a lot of horrible opinions given on here by people who have a (bad) opinion that they should keep to themself.. so if you are someone who knows nothing about this then PLEASE click NEXT.. not trying to be a B&&%$^ but just don't waste my time. I have enough problems .. such as PTSD lol

I am curious about this (obnoxious and weird )guy next door to me who think of himself as a sexy guy and has a weird shape head, kind of big but non extremely, and like a watermelon shape; plus, he is bold only in the upper part of his head because at the sides he had a lot of hair and the bold part area is always shining.
I felt sorry for him because that feature is totally unatractive I guess to many woman besides me of course.
SoI had curiosity to find out if that is normal or perhaps he was born with some deformation.
I hope somebody can referme a site to find out more about this question
