Medication?
Mental health therapy?
Other occupational therapy?

I have been really depressed and have a Panic Disorder since I was molested when i was only 4 yrs old to the age of 8 by my father and even more depressed since my mom died when i was in seventh grade. I'm in tenth grade now and i have a therapist but i don't feel like I can talk to her b/c i have severe social issues/disorder. I've been a cutter and I've felt like ending my life many times before. I'm begining to think I'm hopless. I have no friends at school and my brother has Cerebral Pausey so he can't help me or understand. What should I do???

I have a friend who went through some severe trauma, and then more recently grief, and she considers this kind of body work - reiki, massage and other physical care to be very valuable, when you are in effect throwing off psychological and psychic burdens. Have you heard of anything like this before?

It seems that many people here are concerned about their ability to pay attention to anything regardless of their interest. Zoning out, easily distracted, so on, and so on. So let's say that all things about an environment are ideal for an average person. How long can that person electively focus on any task they want such as reading?

The professional counselling services in my locality are an ineffective option for anyone I have ever talked to that has tried them.
I have already spoken to my parish preist.
I take Wellbuterin (anti-depression med) twice daily due to losing my home to arson 4 years ago.
My nuclear family is very close, and we have all discussed it at length (My husband, adult children and I found his body). I also have several friends who are willing to talk about it with me.
I am still so very sad and upset. I have cried for a whole day. (I haven't cried much in years)
What more can I do for my mental health?

So I always save my homework till the very late evening. I play a sport so its hard to stay awake but theres no other time for homework. And I am always tired because I stay up late and get up early, and then I have the sport the next day. But I am in some really hard classes and have to stay up very late into the night. I don’t mean like- “cut down on the sport” or “get it done earlier” but are there anythings that help you feel for awake? Besides caffeine maybe…

I have this bad habit that I can not save money or i'd better say manage or handle my money properly. I get ripped off often....when I write down my expenses I lose a lot of money because people easily can charge me for the same service that for example somewhere else charge a lot less. I tell you example....the phone company charged me 180$ just because I cancelled my postpaid mobile bill to prepaid when I realised that is just a way they can take money from your account for no reason. I went to a skin clinic for Laser hair removal and then during consultation they offered me a lightening cream that they just sell as the sole company and said I have to use it because otherwise after laser I will have darkening of my skin so they charged me 200$ just for two creams..a sunscreen crean and a lightening cream ....I bought a book and and dvd for my child for 10$ and when I came home and watched the DVD it was just for 5 minutes and of no use...absolutely waste of money...and so on...

There's a couple I know at school. They usually get along together really well. She'll come over during open hours, and do her homework in his bed, or they'll watch the game together in the lounge a lot... But about once every other month, one day I'll see her outside his room covered in tears, just sitting there in the hall for hours. A lot of times he and his roommate will both be hanging out inside the whole time. Sometimes they'll be walking together, and she'll be in tears shouting and crying.

When I talk to her it's always the same story about having a rough day, being sick, or having been a clutz and injured herself, and her roommates not letting her in for some reason, and her boydfriend being a jerk and her not knowing why.

When I talk to him it's always the same too. She's had a bad day, she's on a lot of medications that affect mood.

Everybody is wondering if she's being abused. She says she's in therapy for something though.

What should we do?

and throwing that phrase around freely. I have a freakin 130 IQ and am an honor student. I'm not the best in math. Why does she keep saying this? she says its because when I get mad I tend to dwell on what I'm mad about (uh, holding grudges). My husband is pissed because she keeps calling me autistic. She cant ever say why else she thinks it. Ive been to regular doctors and psychiatrists as a kid and adult because of depression and not ONE of them has said I am autistic. Why is she doing this? Do I sound autistic?

my son is on a high dose of ritalin he has adha i hate the side effects he gets from the drug they are phisical and emotional and he gets very distressed and depressed at times i feel so sorry for him he is only 7 and has been taking the drug since he was 6 i felt i had no choice to put him on it as the school said they were not willing to teach him unless he was on the drug even though he isnt violent or aggressive he just cant keep quiet and cant sit still which i understand is bad as he cant focus on his work but i cant stand to see him upset because of ritalin there must be another med he can have but no-one has suggested any?

Heres my problem. I drink maybe once a week. When I do its not a glass of wine, its a whole 3 litter bottle. I get sloppy stupid drunk. During the rest of the week though i think about drinking and how I like how it makes me feel. The next day after drinking, I teel my husband im going to stop, and to not give into me when I want him to go out and buy it. But after hours of arguing, he gives up and goes out and buys it for me. My drinking is causing arguments in our home and I have put on a lot of weight because of it. Am I an alcholic? I dont want to sign up for AA and people look at me funny because I only drink once a week and not every day.I cant stop on my own though, I have tried. I have even bought liquor and hid it from my husband so I can avoid an argument. Please give me some helpful advice.

i asked a simple question to someone because i was called in to help them at work and she answered it fine to me but then someone else on that same team must have taken offense to me asking about a work related question but she couldn't heard the question clearly because she was in the next room it sounded to me that she was attacking me i got so upset when i walked away to get some air i broke down and i was soo confused i never felt that way and i still can't shake it 4 days later. i tried to sleep and i wake up crying or when i eat i throw up. it felt like that whole team of 3 was against me. i'm soo confused and my whole body hurts it feels like i can't get my thoughts straight. the only think i could say that day was 'i don't know' 'i don't know' as i tried to hold back tears. am i in a downward spiral and i just didn't hit the bottom yet or did i?
