I've had 4 panic attacks so far, one in May and the other three since August, 2 in consecutive days. I've been researching and wanted to know if this is considered a panic disorder. I believe they are panic attacks the symptoms I've had are: sweating, trembling, fear, rapid heartbeat, cant breath. Was it a panic attack? After it starts I can't control it, but with slow breathing the duration is shorter

I've was never diagnosed nor was it a concern as a child but recently my live in boyfriend posed the question. At first I blew it off but the more I think about it the more some "developed" behavior seems to fit the bill. Any resources would be appreciated.

I just wrote in feeling terrible about binging again and someones response led me to believe that I have Bing-Eating Disorder. The person talked about talk theropy and antidepressants as possibilities for SOME people, the thing is, I already am on prozac and in talk theropy (for many other reasons) and they are aware of my bing eating but it doesn't seem to be working. What else can be done?? It consumes my mind and I don't want to live like this anymore..please help?

Just wondering what are some good things to do when severely depressed..... family, what little friends I do have, reading, crying, trying to stop thinking about things isn't working. I'm actually feeling worse, and am starting to feel like a zombie. I've never taken any medications, so I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. If so, what did you do to cope?

Please note: This question is *strictly* open to only those who
are themselves on the ASD spectrum. AND if you have already answered this question before, please *refrain* from answering again. This is a repeat question so as to collect opinions of the others who missed out on participation last time when I posted this question a while ago.

I am a mother of a five year old child, who was diagnosed with autism two years ago. Needless to mention, our child's wellbeing is our topmost priority. We wish to see her succeed in all facets of life.

NOW, neither my husband nor I have a history of autism in the family. While we are striving to be our child's advocate and work in her best interests, we also very much like to hear from someone who is diagnosed with ASD.

I am an ABA therapist and believe that I have studied about autism related therapies quite in depth. I have noticed that there are individuals who are against any CURE to autism.

I don't know what to do anymore. Im 26. The average person in my law school is 23. Someone asked about what nationality I was in my ethics class and I told them American. They asked then where my family came from originally before America and I said Germany. They have taken a liking to saluting me as if I were a Nazi. I don't want to be a baby but it has been going on for 2 months and it is getting old. THe more they know it bothers me, the more they like doing it but if I dont say anything, it gets even worse. What do I do?

Ok In front of my friends and family I'm all happy but on my own I feel sad, lonely and hopeless! I feel like crying, I don't want to get out of bed anymore, I can't sleep and doing things is an effort. I would probably be ok if people left me alone. I haven't been well and the training centre put me of a course so I feel down. Sorry it's not a question but I had to get it of my chest.

i have been on 4 diff rx's. i feel like my doctor doesn't believe me when i say, it worked but now it doesn't. for every pill my symptoms would go away until about a month later they'd return... in some cases worse. being that iv tried many diff pills... is this something that can't be treated? if so how am i suppose to figure out what will help me aside from trying every pill known to man. im tired of being called anti social and being angry/sad. any suggestions. ppl who believe depression is just a person not accepting the harsh reality of life... need not respond :)

do you think the first has to do with the second in a Major way? Like, for me, I find it hard to take responsibility for my actions and to do things when I'm supposed to do them. For this reason, I think being around others I feel to guilty to feel like I'm an equal to them..I feel inferior and like they're an authority over me. Does this happen to anyone else who may have social anxiety, too?

my cousin is a healthy 18 year old. recently somethings been wrong. She came home from college with a mental breakdown. It's gotten worse. She has a 1.7 GPA even though she is NOT stupid. She is lucid but every once in a while she'll say strange things that are impossible. I was talking on the phone with me last night and said that she was gonna apply to UCLA and they would HAVE to take her in b/c she was a genius. She also said that as a hobby she was going to find DaVinci's missing painting. She said that like DaVinci, she was a genius and she knows that he hid "clues" in his paintings and books. She has also said that she found the solution to earthquakes.
Im really worried about her and she is currently seeing a therapist. All her life BEFORE college was totally healthy. she just "snapped" i guess. She is refused to take meds because she fears meds will make her schizophrenic even though it isn't a known side affect of the medicine. does any 1 recignize this symptoms? please help

My family has always had problems. My dad was very verbally abusive growing up. My mother was in denial about the abuse, is critical, & full of head games too. My sisters & I have our own sets of issues, mine being that I have a lot of anxiety in my life. But here's my question - I feel as though I feel better having a safe "distance" from my family, even though we live in the same city. Some times when the head games come out I get angry & tired of it all....but then immediately fall into a "guilt" mode, where I almost feel like I shouldn't feel that way, that I should try to just get over it and instead focus on the fact that at least my parents are still here, etc. I would be hurt to lose any one in my family of course, but that doesn't change the stress that they cause currently. So how can I live with it?? Talking to my parents is futile..my dad doesn't believe he ever did anything wrong, & my mother is the same way about herself. It is a take it or leave it situation.

My child has ADHD and language pragmatic problems. He is very high-maintenance. I love him to pieces, but he drives me up a wall sometimes. I've been to 12 doctors in the last 4 years, most the same, but some very different diagnosis. He has been on 4 different medications: Ridaline - caused severe stomach aches, no eating or sleeping. Aderal - worked for a year, then completely stopped working. Statura - made him completely angry and depressed. Finally Concerta - been on it for 3 years and they can't give him a higher dose for his age and weight. I'm running out of options. What do I do next??? PLEASE HELP!!!

Twelve years back now, I started experiencing bad insomnia so I started taking an over-the-counter herbal sleeping tablet. (I won't mention the brand, as I think there may be rules against it on Yahoo Answers.) The insomnia gradually developed into full-blown depression and over time, the tablets ceased to work. it was years later that I read in the national press that these tablets could have been the cause of the depression. Has anyone else had experience of this?

We have been married for going on three years. I love her dearly but there are emotional things and habits that are very draining.

She laughs and talks with her friends. In fact she has a bad habit of wanting to talk with her friends more then with me. She will get on the cell as soon as I pick her up and stay on it till we are home. She does that with all my friends and family as well.

But when she talks to me 9 times out of 10 she just talks about how horrible everything in her life is. When that isn't the case. Things actually have been going very well for us but she just doesn't want to look at the positive EVER!

She always has to be doing something. She was home the other day all day. My friend happen to be there and told me all she did was clean, clean, clean. When I got home rather then her sitting down and spending time with me she continued to clean some more.

The few times she does relax and spend time with me she falls asleep almost immediately. I don't know what to do?

I am 5'5" and 316 lbs and am losing weight, finally. You see, my hub works 2 jobs and it's hard just keeping the house clean cuz I get so obsessed over everything. I was on here a few wks ago and was telling ppl how I feel so nervous to get a job cuz I feel so fragile right now with my emotions and anxiety, and most people said that right now it might not be a good idea, and that I need to make it my focus to get the weight off 1st. I agree. However, there is a new prob. Now, we are really hurting for $. My hub keeps hinting to me about how he doesn't know how he can make it on his $ alone. The deal is though, is that "he" must have some sort of prob himself cuz he has no sense of money. I tried to reason with him a yr ago to not buy the 1 ton diesel dually truck he wanted, but he "wanted" to, so now we are paying way more on gas. I tried to reason with him yrs ago that we couldn't afford a $6400 mower, but we have 1. I feel by getting a job I would be paying for his next.....

I HAD a boyfriend who was classified as being Bi-Polar. Although he was taking medicine etc. He would still have these episodes at least once a month. He has severe insecurities and in these episodes he always goes back to past events. For example he went clear back to halloween of last year and accused me of a bunch of stuff such as cheating and getting all done up for other guys etc. He has finally let that one go but he seems to hold on to past events and its like his mind jumps back to that time and he obsesses over it until he comes out of being in this episode which could take a week to two weeks or longer. While he is obsessing he is badgering me and accusing me and telling me im a liar and that I don't know what love is and all I do is hurt him I hurt him everyday to please please stop hurting his feelings. He has a past with anger and rage and he is a very cocky/smartass individual. I get nasty hateful voicemails and text messages. Anything he can to degrade me.

I've been through anxiety, I found my way out without meds through CBT, it seems to me people are just happy to take meds without doing any work, the meds make them feel better they think they are cured, they then come of the meds and they are back to square 1. They are happy just getting there prescription refilled, happy just masking over anxiety without finding the cause to it.

I was under the impression Meds where there to buy you time while you got yourself sorted with CBT and then come off, doctors are also to blame, the refill scripts without questioning it.

Are people going about this the right way or am I wrong?
