Clearly shows that there is a lot more to do with regards to awareness, since I only found out about it yesterday arvo while surfing the net...

What would you do with your cousin if he acts violent but can't help it? He doesn't care that he is on probation and is bringing his family down (his sister, my aunt and uncle). We have had problems with him for years and does not care about anything anymore, hes given up and doesn't think of the future, and lives on a day to day basis, meaning he doesn't want anything for himself and only thinks about what will happen that day. He has had thoughts about killing ones he's close to. He smokes cigarettes and weed, and drinks alcohol. The reason he is on probation is because he had blood-alcohol poisoning and was in the hospital for about 3 days. My uncle can't take it anymore, and he already has lots of stress. Not to mention this kid is 14 years old, almost 15. They went through christian councelling and he thought God would fix all of his problems, but he prayed and his thoughts of killing his cousin weren't gone so he said F*** GOD. I need help with him, and my uncle barely has $

i think i have teenage depression. I have tried many online tests all stating that i have severe symptoms of clinical depression. I am thirteen years old and even though some may think i'm too young to be depressed, don't. I am constantly crying most of the time for the littlest things, and in school i cry without noticing it.I daze off during my academic classes and i feel sluggish and unenergized most of the time. My eating habits have changed drastically as well. I lose my appetite and i am hardly ever hungry. It gets hard for me to wake up in the morning, and even after i have twelve hours of sleep, i still feel tired. After school, i only go to sleep,and i really dont bother in eating that much. I force myself to wake up only because i need to do homework. I have cut myself before in the past, but not as much as i do now. I cut myself at least two times a day. I'm not as social as i used to be with my friends. I feel extremely lonely and i spend my nights crying myself to sleep.

I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety just recently, but for a long time I've been unable to show or feel much emotion. I mean, I can feel elated or down or mad, but like watching something sad or something, I don't feel anything. I've had 2 deaths of my close family in the past 3 years, and in both cases I didn't feel sad, and I was close to both of them. I feel hardened or something. What's wrong with me? I'm 17!

I have gotten to a point in my life where I am just sick and tired of life in general. Don't confuse me for suicidal. Thats not what I meant. I mean all I do is sleep and work. I'm always tired. I sleep more than I want to but when I get the amount of sleep I want, it just never seems to be enough. I have been experiencing a loss of appetite, lack of enthusiasm for pretty much everything. Work sucks right now. Social life has gone down the drain. I am sick of fake people. Love life is right behind it. I am sick of womens games.

I just don't give a dam about much anymore. I'm not really suicidal, just extremely apathetic right now.

Is this a normal thing for people to experience? Will this like kidney stones pass?

Don't bother telling me to get help through a suicide support group. I am not going to kill myself. I know me better than you ever will. So if thats the only advice you can give me, don't waste my time or yours.

please think the children in africa are suffering. Some sleep on the streets at night in fear of being ubducted while sleeping. Others already have been abducted and trained to kill the ones they love. All we do is complain about our life like how we have to get up at six in the morning instead of twelve in the afternoon to go to school or how we complain about doing one simple chore. the children in africa wish to go to school and dont give up when they are not allowed in,these children will get up at who knows maby three or earlier in the morning.children in africa also do alot of chores more than us and if they didnt do chors than they would be in a lot of trouble i'm talking about twice as much trouble as we would be in.so please remember the children in africa are suffering and diend if you care at all please give me ideas of how to raise money to help the children.

At 13 yrs old, these problems are probably nothing compared to what's out in the "real world", but the stress and pain keep piling up and I don't think I can handle this much longer. My parents are rarely home anymore, and being self-employees, often work well past midnight. I'm losing my friends year after year, and it seems like I'm always the one that doesn't fit in. I make tons of mistakes like normal people would, but they constantly get shoved in my face. The suicidal thoughts keep coming back no matter how hard I try to get my life back the way it was. My problem probably isn't big enough for other people to want to kill themselves over, but I'm not that strong, and I just want to give up and for it to end. I've been trying to take it a day at a time, pushing myself to make it through one more week, one more month, but after two years of this, it doesnt seem like there's much hope anymore.

part of me wants help, the other part doesnt want to at all and knows that if i do go to rehab or anything i would relapse again anyways.

I would go to rehab to at least try, but i'm fifteen, and my parents have no idea about it. If i told them it would ruin my life. They would hate me.

I want help, but i don't want my parents knowing.

My drug use started freshman year drinking, then i started smoking weed ocationally. My weed smoking increased to multiple times a day, then i started getting into other **** too.
To list some, ive done/still do extacy vicodin xanax, acid, ritalin, lsd, shrooms, coke, pcp, etc.
(never done crack or heroin, thank god)

I love doing them. My friends and i have a great time together. I love it. But since i am only a sophmore, i worry that later this year and next year, i might just keep getting worse.

I also feel like ive ****** up my life already, and stopping now wont change anything.
Ive lost everything that was once important to me.

Which do you like better: Being alone or going out with others??

I am not a shy person at all. I enjoy talking to people and helping those in need. I have always been told that I don't meet strangers. However, I do like doing things alone. For example, I would rather curl up and read a good book anyday over going out with friends to eat or shop. My mom thinks something is wrong with me, b/c most people my age(24) enjoy doing things. She thinks I am depressed. I would rather sleep, read, listen to music or whatever by myself. No... I do not date either. I don't think I am weird, just different. I think I am just ultimately happy when I am alone, b/c I only have to deal with myself. I don't worry about conflicts or trouble when I am alone. What about you?

I'm 31, divorced with a 7 yrs old son who is very disruptive in school, and doesn't get along properly with his classmates. I just moved to this city a year ago, and nobody from my family lives here. I feel in love with a guy I know since I was 12, but he lives in US (I'm in Mexico), and we "started" a relationship in sep 21, but I obviously feel this is not a real relation, but I do love him. He can't live in Mexico 'cause he is divorced too and his daugther lives in US, I can't go there 'cause I don't have money to get a visa. I have a good work, but I'm earnig less than the last year, and my expenses are the same, so I barely have money to afford them. Besides my son attendes the same school where I work, and I feel very stressed with all the complains that I've got from his teachers, and I fear to lose my job because of it (I lost my previous job because of that). I know that I'm young, even pretty and intelligent, but emotionally I'm awfully wrong. And this has been since I was 15

I really don't know what's up with me! I keep on seeing things in the middle of the night, I think I must be half asleep or something. How do I stop it? Like I'll wake up and swear I see spiders climbing up and down the walls and I'll turn the light on and nothing will be there, and last night I looked up and there was a hedge infront of my face that slowly merged into the wall! It's really crazy but it has started happening a lot recently. I haven't been watching anything about spiders or hedges before i go to bed! Also when I think I see spiders I start to panic and sort of have a mini panic attack or something, it's really horrible. Any suggestions how to stop this please? I'm not on any medication and I don't smoke the funny stuff!

I have read that there is little hope. Even if they did stop they still have to deal with the lack of Love, Compassion, Excitement, and Pride that they lost b/c of their use. So really is there any hope at all to getting back the person you once knew?

us with various mental illnesses.Could you imagine trusting an orthopedists to set fractures without looking at an x-ray or a cardiologist to diagnose you with a block of your main artery without looking at your angiogram, or ladies your gynecologist told you you had a yeast infection without looking. Probably NOT, so why don't we just take their word for it but we will take the word of a psychiatrists without ever even looking at the organ they are treating, our Brains.We each have unique fingerprints, dna's it only makes sense that our brains are also unique.Therefore our brains will react differently to different situations.ie injury, stress. So why do we as a society allow shrinks to diagnose us by just talking to us.Great strides have been made in new imaging techniques to examen our brains and why they work the way they do. So why do we soley take the word of a psych. on an evalution that is a hundred years old.Symptom clusters by asking questions.www.amenclinics.com check itOUT

I am thinking I am in a depression, but am not sure. I'm going to the Dr. Thursday, but want to know what some of you think before going in there like a crazy lady.
Here recently, for the past couple of months, I have been getting mad at the drop of a dime and like totally flipping out on my husband. I get mad easily at my two boys, 3 and 6, who have both recently been diagnosed with ADHD. I even went as far as almost throwing something at my husband. I can't stay focused on anything, like work or cleaning the house. I have no motivation to do anything, even playing with my kids. I used to scrapbook and now I don't even want to do that. I sleep at night, but it's not restfull. I am constantly getting headaches. And I have absolutely no sex drive! Please give me your opinions!
