Please can someone help me. My dreams are so vivid that when i wake up i'm exhausted. The dreams are terrible nightmares, they seem to know exactly what to do to get me panicked.

I feel like i dream all night long without stopping so when i wake up i am mentally exhausted.

I dream about people i have lost, people who have been cruel to me, losing others. Some times of death and apocalypse.

Can someone offer me advice?

I am currently on citalopram for depression, and don't eat spicy or unusual foods before bed, or at all really.

is it possible? i have been in tears for the last year, almost daily after i got cheated on and lied too. also i had no friends to help me thru this because i moved to a new country, my days and nights were alone in the house 24/7 and i thought i would eventually loose my mind. suddenly i feel better, its like i have found myself again and know that life can be good again if i let it. is it possible to recover from a hard time without any support?

I'm very sad because i always feel ugly, my friends said that i'm not, but as i look in the mirror, i can see that i am very ugly. I just don't know what's up with them but i think they're just lying to me. i just don't look good. This is the reason why i still don't have any girl friend right now, cuz i'm very shy because i'm afraid to get insulted because of my looks.. Please i need your help how to improve this feelings, cuz i think there's no way to improve my looks.

I need to increase my self-esteem and confidence..

im a 17 year old girl
few years ago, my grandma(lived with for about 13 years) asked me if i did anything else that she doesn't know because at that time, she found out that i was working out at the gym without her permission i was 13 or 14
this comes to my mind now and ive been always(most of the times) guilty about masturbating with bananas, objects, and rolled napkin
i think i told her that i did nothing else she doesn't know, maybe i didn't think about masturbating when i answered
should i tell her now?
i also masturbated without using these once a few weeks ago
do i have a serious obsessive compulsive disorder
my grandma is better than a mom to me
also i really don't want to tell her(it's embarrassing), but something always bothers me, it's weird
i think i saw somewhere that trying to make yourself embarrassing but you don't want to is one of the symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder

Ok i have depression or bipolar or pmdd idk whatever one it is but theyre all pretty much the same right? you wanna die. ugh well i feel terrible, im reallly scinical about everything, if someone tells a nice story i bring up the bad things about it and i put everyone down so they see things how i do. ppl are starting to get annoyed of it now and are telling me.
well the thing is i know that i have this illness but i'm so scinical about life that i dont see the point in getting any better. whats the point if im going to die anyway? why not just get it over with sooner. also i have to will anymore. i dont want to do well in school but i have this irrational fear of failing so i force myself to try. im ocd, i cut, and im anorexic, jeez thats a lot but the thing is i dont have the will to get better. i also dont want to talk to anyone about this especially my mother. i have a terrible relationship with her and it would never work. i really dont kno why im writing this.

suffering from depression, been in treatment for years, nothing's working. the only thing keeping me from alive is the pain it would cause my mother if i were gone. anyone else out there that just can't end it all because of the pain it would cause someone else? its so frustrating. bring on the smart @ss answers, i'm ready for it. i really feel bad for those of you who spend your time writing sarcastic answers.

I have a problem and i can tell. I dont think its anger managment but idk its just weird. Like if one of my best friends is talking or doing somtimng, depending on who it is i cant stand it and i will want to cry or punch them and i dont even know why. Its not with all my friends just with some, and some of my family, and just even people. Its kindof upsetting beucase im afraid to tell my friends about this becuase that would basically be like telling my bestfriend to stop talking just becuase i get annoyed so easily. I seirously want to cry even if i can hear the sound of her chewing. And the weird thing is its only half of my friends i cant stand. I told one perosn about this and they said its possible im autistick or however you spell it. can you help me?

Hi - to start off with, please be aware that I am not interested in such answers or comments trying to persuade me to seek medical help or to get a perscription for anti-depressants! I am purely interested in your thoughts and own stories, on ways to fight the bad 'sadness demon'.

Now I'm sure most of you go through this at least some of the time - you're having a pretty boring/stressful day at home or work, and all of a sudden you find yourselves thinking bad thoughts about life and/or your peers.

What are some of the tecniques you guys use, to stop yourselves from falling into depression when you realise you are starting to spiral?

i am not suicidal and am taking my medication, but i have been in a deep depression for 2 months now. i've tried getting out of the house, talking to my friends, listening to music, writing about it and getting it out on paper, watching a movie, watching tv, playing with my dogs, playing my guitar and NONE of this stuff is working for me. i have a girlfriend and i don't want her to see me down all the time. what can i do to make it go away? i have lost almost all interest in doing things that matter to me and school.

I know "a know it all" who is getting divorced. He has smoked dope for over 11 years to self-medicate. Now he's quitting cold-turkey so if he's tested after 45 days he won't test positive. He's a very intense high strung guy and I think he's making a wrong move.

I've just started uni and although the course isn't going too badly, I'm convinced I'm going to fail. The course is a medical one and requires a lot of confidence to talk to patients etc, and I just don't have that. We are being videoed soon, and assessed, for our communication abilities and I can't communicate cos I'm too shy, so I know I'll do badly. I really want to quit but I don't know if it's a good idea or not - I don't have anything else going for me. I'm not attention seeking, I swear, I just don't think I have anything else that I would be good at. I don't know what to do. Please please help, I just have no idea where to go now.

...that are also having a really bad time with cutting atm, and just can't seem to stop? i just can't stop atm, normally i wait until cuts are almost fully healed before allowing myself to do it again, but i couldn't, and now i'm covered in cuts, and i think i'm gonna have a fair few scars as well this time. :( arrrgh i just can't cope with anything atm! i don't even know what i'm saying...this isn't really a question...just wanna know if anyone else is in the same boat i spose....hmmm..yeah i dunno...just talk please.....

oh i've thought of a question - only for cutters or medical people - if you have a small gaping cut, how can you help it heal so that there is a minimal amount of scarring? i tried using medical tape to pull the skin together, but it didn't really work, and i can see it is going to scar badly. it's healed too much to do anything now, but i need to know incase i end up cutting badly again - i already have a couple of scars coz of gaping wounds. :(
