Is it true that you can go crazy from being inside all the time? I'm a stay at home mom, and I never go anywhere. My husband works third shift, so he goes to the store and to bed when he gets home, and sleeps till about 8. By then I'm tired, and we just eat and watch tv and I play with our son. I can't drive because my car is messed up and his is a stick. I've tried to learn, I'm hopeless. :/ So basically, I sit here with my son from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon. We go outside some, but we live on a street with old people, and it's like they have radar on us or something. They literally surround my sons stroller! It's creepy. I'm starting to act different. I can tell I've become anti-social, I don't even like the phone anymore and usually turn it off. I'm extremely irritable and my husband and I fight a lot. I'm tired a lot, and I'm not motivated anymore when it comes to things like decorating or having guests over. Could this be because I'm "stir crazy"?

In the last 8 days, I've done what I have always wanted to do. Go on a diet and get a healthier lifestyle. I quite smoking week and lost 3 IBS so far or more. I am feel more positive and happier being able to do this. However, I still kind of feel low at times and guilty. I grown up a bit poor and made fun of all the time. My dad use to drink all the time (he stopped and is much better) when I was a kid and use to bring me in the room and listen to the Doors crying about my mom (My mom cheated on him and whatever else happened) I always use to listen to him and I think this emotionally hurt me growing up to hear this. Started weed when I was 16. Loved it and realized I was burning out and felt no pleasure to anything else but being dependant and high. Changed my personality and made me feel like I wasent being me. I stopped for 8 days and a diet included makes me happier. However still feel a bit gloomy at times. How can I reinforce myself to stay positive and happy forever!

Thanks to a magazine article, I rececently became aware of the fact thyat I was synesthetic, when I was little I thought it was normal to taste colors but as as a teenager I thought I was crazy or something so I never spoke to anyone about it anymore until I read that article, but somewhere in the article it said something like "People who have this disorder...." ... DISORDER?? Synesthesia considered A DISORDER??

they expect to? - having been led to believe that once you reach a certain decade things start to drop off and go wrong.
A lot of 'oldies' that I know say, when they get an ache or pain, that it must be old age. Well, I don't buy into that. The mind is very powerful and believes whatever you tell it.

*I do not have Tourettes*
I twitch whenever I'm feeling self-conscious which is usually around people. I twicth A LOT at school. Sometimes it's just small head jerks other times I'm sure it's more obvious (i heard someone making fun of me).
The thing is I always feel like people are staring at me- i'm really paranoid. I try to tell myself that no one is, but just thinking about twitching makes me twitch! When my mind is not on twitching, I do not twitch. I don't twitch at home, at lunch, or when I'm with friends. As soon as i'm surrounded by ppl I don't know, I get twitchy. I try to keep my mind off twitching but it'll soon creep into my mind- especially when I'm around the girl who made fun of me. The worst is that when people are staring at me I twitch which is really awkward b/c I know they must have seen it since they're looking straight at me.

This has been going on for a while please tell me how to make it stop.

My attendance and academic performance has been atrocious so far this semester, and it's all because I am struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I feel so ashamed and nervous about telling my professors because I am afraid that they won't be understanding. What should I do? I've missed weeks of class.
