Friends are commenting on my weight loss, but I still feel overweight. My BMI is still on the high side. I'm not unhealthy.

I do exercise quite a bit, and would rather ride my bicycle 10 or 20 miles than get a ride.

I LOVE to eat. I will stuff myself at times, but don't purge.

I'm not thin, but people have been commenting because I have a history of addiction and such, and people (friends who are therapists included) are often commenting on my weight loss over the past year or so (From size 14 / 16 pants to size 11 ... I'm not tiny) and making comments about anorexia athletica and such.

Should I be concerned, or what?

We share 50/50 custody with my husbands 7year old daughter. We have been the only parents involved in any and all school and sports activities for the past 3 years. Her mother has never met her teachers, not once and our daughter has been asked to be retained in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades due to slow learning skills. She was diagnosed 2X (we got a 2nd opinion from another psychiatrist) and both doctor's requested she be medicated. They both also said she will continue to struggle in school and without meds this can be detrimental to her socially, emotionally & academically. However, we cannot legally medicate her without her mom's consent. We've asked her mom to attend all the meetings with the teachers and doctors for the past 3 years, but she hasn't shown up to one. Whenever we suggest some type of therapy or retention in school, she refuses to oblige. We are concerned and are consdering getting an attorney to mandate medication therapy and full custody. We want her to succeed.

Since I was 18 (am now nearly 30) I have had either really really bad depression and anger or really really high and weirdly happiness. In my mad phase I am angry, irritable, I want to bite people for no reason and I bite mo own skin and leave teeth marks. I am on antidepressants, and stronger ones now (got the stronger ones today). If I mention Bipolar to doctor's they shrug it off and just say am depressed.Believe me this is not JUST depression, this is ruining my life for nearly 10 years now. I am thinking of writing down my symptoms for my pyschiatrist and am wondering if any people on here are Bipolar and have similar symptoms?? What should I tell them at the hospital etc..?

Yes i have seen therapsits - I dnt have a problem with expressing my feelings. My problem is the issue with the supposed 2 b Md + psch. experienced person.
I sware I know more than them. I have 2 do all the research on my own- i could b a major in pysch.? Meaning diagnosis, plus meds, plus increase or decrease. no 1 knows their body better than themself. But... if ur having a med problem the psych says c the Md - the md says go 2 the ER ... Im very religous with taking my meds - which is good b/c im alone in this healing process of being misdiagnosed 4 12 years of not having bipolar disorder...
Any1 else in this situation.
Tnx Much =)

Whenever I get free or doing nothing or sometimes even in busy times, lots of things runs in my mind. Usually, I create my own world inside my mind and start to debate on my own to the point where my head gets heavy. I want to get rid of this. Is there any exercise for this that I can perform myself or train myself? Interestingly, one of my friend also has the same problem as mine. Can we perform any exercise or training together and help each other to get rid of this.

Also, Please let me know if there is any specific term for the problems like this where people let their mind busy all the times running a lots of things in mind to the point of head getting heavy. I'm very desparate to help myself.

thanks

I used to cut myself. I even tried to commit suicide twice. But i'm better now. I didn't tell my mom then, because i was scared to face the truth, that i had a problem. But should I tell my mom now? I'm afraid she'll freak out.

i am 7 1/2 months pregnant and i am having allot of complications. I suffer from vericosite veins in my legs and in my private and i cant even stand on the floor without swelling up like a balloon and having severe pain. I cant sleep at night and i am so stessed out and depressed that its causing me to have uncontrollable mood swings. i asked my doctor if he would give me anything to help my anxiety because its causing me to have contractions but he said its too dangerous for the baby. My husband just yells back at me and makes me worse. he thinks its an excuse and says that i can controll it but i really cant. How can i get him to work with me and try to calm me down instead of taking it to heart and yelling at me? I am about to give up. We fight all the time and i feel like im loosing my best friend. I cant take anymore stress. Please help.

started on 20 mg of Celexa to treat my depression and it worked a little for the beginning of the first day. After three weeks I went to the doctor and he changed me to 30 mg Cymbalta. It worked incredibly well for the first two days, and then the effects started vanishing. Now I’m on the fourth day of taking it and feel as bad as ever. What should I do now? Why are the effects going away after the first couple days?
(I really doubt that it is a placebo effect because I felt significantly better with the second drug for a longer while) and I have been going to talk therapy aswell

him, I want an outside opinion. So, I will list the symptoms. Please tell me what mental disorder you think this sounds like, or if it just sounds like a normal guy...

To other people, he is incredibly friendly and hyper, but easily angered.

To me, he’ll be very nice, energetic, excited over everything, happy and fun. Then, suddenly, he'll change. And for the next several days to a week, he’ll get very angry and jealous at mentions of small things, like me saying anything positive about another guy. He'll start to angrily bring up issues that happened months ago that seemed to be already resolved, as if they'd just happened. He'll constantly say accusatory things, like "I know you thought that guy was hot.” Often makes statements of self-loathing, eg "I'm so fat," "I'm ugly," "I can't do anything right."

Usually everything will sort of be lumped together. He'll rant about some guy he thinks I like, then he'll turn around and insult himself.

Im feeling down at mo and have a bit of a self image problem. I dont think im as pretty as the girls who i work with as theyre skinny and blonde and cause they know how to flirt get a whole lot more attention. Im not an attention seeker i just dont understandy why the guys flock round these kind of gals and people like me whos nice n shy they dont make much effort with in or out the office. I am trying to overcome to overcome my shyness and to feel better ie having a funky haircut,wearing makeup and my contacts more but i find it hard liking myself and thinking of myself as attractive. As i find the girls around me arent always very pretty but have them flocking. Its like theres a group of people who know everyone and invite everyone yet i feel excluded

"When you know that when you are on the stage, you will not smile to your audience or give them a cheerful stare, you get stage fright and is the same reason for people to avoid eye contact during conversations." how far is this fact true?

My husband has stuttering problem since he was in grade 3. He is very good at his work and is well appreciated y his seniors. But cos of his stuttering problem he is been denied many opportunities to move forward. I feel bad for him, as he feels down every now and then cos of this. I want him to get over this feeling and get over the stuttering problem. He did try to go to a hypnotist once which helped him for a while, but later it was back to same. He has no confidence in seeing any therapist or anyone? Please help

I'm 18 (almost 19), and I recently (2 months) went on Paxil for anxiety. I want to stress that I DO NOT have depression and have never felt like this....

For the most part, it has been great.

BUT

I think its made me have suicidal thoughts. It doesn't happen often, and it only lasts for a few hours.....but I get REALLY depressed and actually plan it.

Yes, I realize this is serious.

However, I "snap" out of it within a few hours.

It's only happened a few times, and within the last few weeks.

The thing is, I'm a pretty stable person and I'm actually EXCEEDINGLY happy. I'm not moody, and it's not my personality.

I feel like something's taken over my body.

Could it be the paxil? I know it has these side-effects for younger people, but I'm not on it for depression.

PLEASE HELP. I want to know whether or not I should call my doctor....

Thanks.

Ok, I grew up not really knowing my dad, so when I heard from him and decides to live with him I was happy for like a month or so, then I got really depressed and started cutting again, and then I decided to move back to my moms because of my step mom, but about a month after I moved back to my momsI was the same way...happy at first, then a month later depressed and cutting again...so..why can't I just stay happy.

Nothing has really happened to make me start again, I just got depressed again and started cutting and stuff again..anyone have any idean why this is happening? What can I do to just make it stop?? Thanks in advance!
