I'm in my early 20's, and I've been having a really hard time functioning in society. I'm really smart, I'm a hard worker, but I just can't seem to find my way. I can't seem to function in the work place, or in school. Does anybody have any good ideas about what line of work would be good to go into for someone like me? I want to be able to support myself.

I realised something after this weekend when a few (in hindsight mostly trivial) events in my life sent me into a real spiral for a few days and some crazy notions crossed my mind, that I might have a bit of a problem. I thought everyone has moments of feeling down... but I think for me it's more than just a cute personality quirk. If it wasnt before, it is now... I think it's a problem and I dont think I should ignore it anymore.

I have a few questions - as these are intense but brief bouts that come and go and last only a few days, what would be the best approach to getting some sort of help? Its non emergency, and Im coping, I just want to deal with it while I am still coping. Should I go to my GP initially perhaps?

Would I have any say in the treatment I got? I dont want pills if I can help it.

Would getting help necessarily become something that people I know around me would have to find out about? I want to deal with it, but privately.

Thanks in advance for your help

Are you so lazy that you don't even want to get up in the morning until it's one o'clock.

what must i do if i have these gay impulses and interests in me now that i'm an adult which most likely sprung from my childhood history of being sexually exploited? i enjoy gay porn to release my urge, male encounters also but i just don't like the feeling after though i look straight and deep in my mind I wanna be straight, i just give in to temptations so quickly. what must i do? i wanna have a family. i really really really don't want to be gay (no offense to the gay community) all my life but i don't know how to escape or just live with it?

over 10 years ago I was put on benzodiazipens and imipramine for agoraphobia and it works. I have not upped the dose of either one. But the drugs help me. I still have problems sometimes with new places etc. But I have gotten some very good therapy and would like to try a drug free exsistance. I know after more than 10 yrs. I am very addicted to the benzo's. I don't need a run down on what that means. But I am terrified to try and come off them (i guess it would be detox..right?) VERY terrified!! I can stay on the drugs or try and see how life is without them, but first I would have to do the withdrawal thing. What would you do? REALLY???

I've been in therapy for a while now. Is there any other resources that can help me? I'm scared sick of sex and vulnerablility- I wish I wasn't... but is there another way to unlearn this than therapy? hypnosis? A good self-help book?

Thanks.

Medication won't help.

I'm 14-15 years old and i'm not sure if i suffer from depression.
I used to have a really really, good memory but now i have the worst memory! Usually on school nights i don't get enough sleep and i cry easily. I can't stop thinking and i sometimes most of the time can't sleep of night because in my head i keep on thinking. My parents put alot of pressure on me and say i must be my best in everything. I do exams for piano and i'm stressing really bad abut it, when i can't get something right i start crying abit. the exam is kind of expensive and my parents have spent alot of money on piano lessons and exam. I'm scared i won't pass. Do I have it? Should i see a doctor, any tips?

Every fall I get really depressed. Well, it has started earlier this year and more intense. It usually starts only after it starts to get cold outside, but this time it has started only after it started to get dark earlier. It really sucks because I have no real apatite but I crave candy and alcohol. I have no motivation to go to work and I'm tired all of the time. I know this year is going to get worse because the way I feel is similar to the way I would normally feel in late November.

So, my question is can my PCP prescribe something for this or do I have to see a psychiatrist?

It stems from his childhood where he and his sister always were in competition with each other, his sister always seemed to be favoured by the parents.

He isnt exactly stupid but thinks that everyone else believes he is and is comparing him to others. He behaves as though one mistake makes the end of the world and now believes he should quit his job because of that.

He is working at my workplace and now thinks that everybody compares us and that he will always be a step behind me..."not as bright, hardworking, loved or popular."

His parents died when he was around 22 and I dont think he ever got over it, he was convinced that they prefered his sister and that his father hated him.

He used to self harm at 16 and has never sought counciling.

How can I help him? I dont know what to do anymore as I always try to reasure him but it seems to have no effect...he asks me what he should do to feel better and I dont know what to say to him...

My sister is 14. In 1st grade she started to refuse going 2 school until she was changed to a private school. Later she had to repeat 3rd grade and a few weeks in she refused again. My mother tried EVERYTHING even the principal carried her in once. But she was impossible. So for almost 4 years she was home schooled because of her irrational stubbornness. We explained why it's important, both my parents are self-employed so she would be w/ them. Last year she finally went back to the private school but would ditch in the bathroom a lot. This year my parents cant afford the school so they put her back in public and went for 1 day. Now she won't go. My mom has been told that she will be fined $10,000 or jail if she isnt enrolled. My sis told me she has claustrophobia so thats y its hard to be in classroms. But I don't think thats true. I think she has a mental disorder. Severe social anxiety. She still throws tantrums like 3 yr old. Doent want 2 hear ANYTHING of school. What should we do?

My very close aunt committed suicide three months ago, and now I think about her incessantly. I'm starting to miss her so much I don't think I can handle it. It feels as though my heart is shattering into a million pieces that can't ever be fixed. These holes in my heart can't be replaced. My eyes are baggy and they ache, but I haven't cried. My once easily tempted smile has now become weighted down so much I can't even think of smiling. I miss my aunt so much. I was so used to calling her and emailing her when I wanted to talk. But now there's so much to say, but it's too late. I moan, but don't cry. I frown and think of all the things I want to say to her, but I don't cry. I miss her so, my heart is aching with grief.

This sorrow is breaking my heart.
