I'm a full time student, no job though, I'm looking for one. Theres a lot of things in my life right now going wrong and I find that keeping busy keeps my mind off of it and I don't get depressed. When I do get depressed, everything will get worse. School keeps me busy, work will (as soon as I get a job), any more suggestions? I want to be busy enough so that the only time I go home is to sleep.

I have problems trusting my therapists, I always think that if I talk to a therapist I'm just seeking attention, and that I'm making things up to the therapist. I know I'm not, but I feel like I am.
I know my parents told me that the school counsellor told them I was just an attention seeker after I tried to kill myself at 14, and they told me that the therapists all said that I was an attention seeker at the hospital when I was being discharged, even though I had bruises on my arms and legs of my parent's doing.
But when I say that, I feel like I'm lying, because they say that that never happened, even though I saw it and all the nurses saw them and even asked where I'd got them.
I have severe trust issues with therapists. I also keep on thinking I'm making things up. What can I do about this?

Ok here's my situation. My doctor put me on paxil-10mgs for depression. I soon noticed side effects so he switched me to lexapro-20mgs, which I felt was too strong so a week ago I dropped it to 10mgs. Now I decided to cut it down to 5mg a day for a week or so and quit altogether. I've been on meds only a total of 2 months. You think this is a good way to go. I know I'll have some withdrawals but hopefully nothing too bad. Also, while I was on anti-depressants I was going to the bar with my buddies on the weekends and drinking (I know you're not supposed to) I was getting really trashed really quick and having blackouts. I can usually handle my booze pretty well. Anybody had similar experiences. The lexapro also seemed to make a Sunday hangover even worse. Thanks.

I'm really having an extremely rough time with life right now. I'm struggling in two of my classes, and I am in danger of not passing one of them, despite studying till my head hurts for every test...I'm also working 15 hours a week, and my hours are right at dinnertime and last till about 10 or 11 pm each night, so I haven't found time to eat as often, making me physically exahusted....I'm feeling pretty lonely as I haven't made any friends in college, and to top it all off, my dad recently told me that he has cancer.

I just feel like I'm losing control over my life. Completely stressed out. I don't really know where to go from here. It almost seems like all the hard work I put into schoolwork and my job isn't worth it, because I'm still overwhelmed and dissatisfied.

What are some ways I can deal with this stress?

I know it won't be an overnight fix, but I've got to do something about the way I procrastinate. I've kept putting things off and now they're all piled up and I don't know how I can get them all done.

I've had a project in school for the last week and a half that is due today, but I haven't even started it. I'm supposed to build a website for someone who is paying me for it, but again I haven't started it. I was supposed to get a costume for a Halloween party, but again I haven't done that. I'm also supposed to be planning all the music for that party, but the playlist I started only has about 7 songs on it. Tons of little simple things have just gotten stacked up into one big problem.

The biggest problem is the school project though, because I've only got 2 hours to do it, and I don't think I can throw something passable together in that amount of time, but we'll see.

I'm not asking for help on the things I didn't get done, I just need help so that I don't fall behind again. Help!

Not to be rude, but why is it so looked down upon? Aren't there worse ways I could be dealing with my problems, ie being violent, eating disodered, antisocial, bottling my emotions up, etc.? What is the worst that could happen from self injury? I use anti-bacteria and bandages.

My sister who's 10 years older than me has degenerative epilepsy and is schizophrenic from the trauma to her brain of uncontrollable convulsions.

My problem is that she hates me. Seven years ago, I cut all ties with her because she was verbally and physically abusive to my children who were toddlers at the time.

She's being well looked after in a home and visited by my two brothers and their wives, but everytime I try to make contact with her she makes up stories (ie, that I've tried to push her down the stairs or poison her to kill her or that I'm after her money (which is nothing)

She doesn't say the same things about her brothers, so why does she say those horrible things about me.

She hates me so much. Should I just let others in the family look after her, or what.

I have talked to a lot of people about this. From everyone else view I have everything going for me for the most part. My therapist says I have an amazing personality and for the most part everyone else agrees.

I have been having a problem finding dates and even just friends. However when I say this to people they say they are my friend and then start naming others I know that they would say are my friends. I just never get any calls from people wanting to hang out with me and that is what bothers me.

I used to be nervous talking to women but I have since started talking to any women walking around campus and I seem to get good responses. Not just one or two sentences. It usually turns into a conversation.

I also think most of my problems have to do with my lack of "friends" and I do not think that I am attractive. I am 5'9, 128 lbs. I only have 9% body fat. I cannot gain weight. Any girl i ask if I am attractive usually trys to avoid the question. But I can find nething to change

I seem to have this addictive personality, I drink and gamble. If I'm not gambling I'm drinking and vice-versa. The drinking is making me less of a person, and the gambling is making me insane. I win a lot but then I may lose, and it's not a game to me anymore and I feel like I'm addicted. Have went to AA for the drinking, but the gambling is just a big of a problem when I lose. I rolled 1600 dollars tonight and lost all of it. I was ahead 1000 dollars, now I owe about 5-600 dollars on credit. I can't stand the highs and lows anymore and want help. Has anyone out there had a similar experience and got help and treated it?

i was fine normal actually, when i was 5 years old then i had to change classes in order to let new people into my class. it was awful it may be a very long time ago but i can still remember it. the kids were so mean this guy would beat me up for no reason,and worst of all this boy felt me in places i didnt feel comftable with,stalking me and making me kiss him when the teacher wasnt looking. and do you know who stopped it?? the students this tough friend of mine told him to go away always she would beat him up and he did. but i couldnt trust people and stopped talking. people would beat me up to get me to talk say hurtful things and make me feel unaccepted and unwanted. i am now only 14 years old and have already thought of suicide more than once,and still cant talk to people. i am already seeing a counsellor but its so awful knowing that no one else understands me and having myself as my worst enemy.

I don't know if I love my family. I care about them but I don't think I love them. I rarely ever feel strong emotions(other than anger) for people.
The emotions I'm suppose to feel for humans I feel for inanimate things like stuffed animals, books, movies, etc.

I get obsessed with things. I once watched the same movie everyday for a year and a day.
