Also my parents don't know how to handle things like these. Any suggestions about them either?

I have depression and I'm taking antidepressants. When I was a kid I used to always misbehave in school, and my teachers told my mother I had ADHD, and that I should be medicated for it, but she didn't believe in doing that. I'm not so hyper anymore, but I do have a hard time paying attention at work, and my job requires (as most do) a lot of attention. I'm not sure if it's the medication making my "zomby-ish". No one has told me I'm bein a zombie, so I don't think thats it. Just on the job I can't seem to keep up with everything. Would there be a problem if I kept taking my anti-depressants, and started taking ADD meds?

Has weed made you feel depressed? If so, how much did you smoke a day?

I know "thoughts of suicide" is a symptom of depression and I do think about it a lot..probably daily. But I never actually plan it out or anything.

My mother has been addicted to amphetamines for over 30 year. My uncle and I have tried to get her help but she is on social security and from what I understand if they find out that she is an addict they will stop payment. I don’t want to just let her die but that’s all I can seem to do. Her mind is so far gone that to her anyone who tries to help her is really tiring to kill her and she has become violent and verbally abusive to anyone close enough to hear her . If anyone can help, please do and please pray for her. Thank you.

What medications can I go on for OCD aside from the following: (Because I've already tried them) :

Paroxetine
Fluvoxamine
Zoloft
Clomipramine

Please, can some one give me names of other drugs that are helpful in reducing OCD symptoms? Or combinations of drugs that might work. Off-label investigational. Anything. I've been battling this disease for years now. Please, do not recommend Cognitive Behaviour therapy or ritual exposure because these do not work for me at all. My GP says "Pills fix OCD, nothing else". Mind you, he is Bipolar and is on Zyprexa and Lithium. Can some one shed some light here? Any help would be great because I'm running out of things to try.

Lately I have been really impatient with my husband. He keeps asking me for help with documents, filling out forms and doing all kinds of things for him. Because I refuse and he won't do these things himself and then he turns around and asks his MOTHER to do these things for him.

He hasn't had a job for a while and I can BARELY afford to keep us above water. He won't take the ONLY car we have during the day while I'm at work to look for a job. He won't look for a job or call potential employers to see if they are hiring unless I get on his case.

I’ve been so stressed out because I’m on the brink of losing my job and he wants me to do everything for him and he won’t do a thing. I don’t know what to do, other than continue refusing to things for him. When he calls to complain about something, I snap at him like he’s a child. What can I do to stop from being impatient?

My best friend is an amazing mother, friend, and person. She is outgoing, dedicated, and just a beautiful person... but I'm very concerned that she is depressed. I am not a doctor, I can't diagnose her, but she's so sad, has no ambition or motivation anymore. Its gotten so bad that the past few weeks she barely gets her kids out the door to school and then goes back to bed, but she doesn't sleep, she just lays there. She takes care of her children, but not herself. She has a very unstable relationship with her husband and has endured every type of abuse imaginable from him... She's scared to leave him because they have 3 small children together and she doesnt' think she can do it alone. She has no family or friends to help her, except me. I don't live close to her anymore, but we talk daily on the phone... I've felt her slipping and it scares me. If she won't help herself, what do I do?

I know this is ridiculous but...
I just turned 17 about 4 months ago and suddenly feel very old. I'm afraid of turning 18, i guess I'm worried all my teenage fun will have to go and im suddenly supposed to intensely mature. I know I'm allowed to still have fun but its something thats been constantly on my mind and bothering me. I'm asking for idk maybe some words on how to get over my "age crisis".

Why do we continue to do wrong only fall to under conviction and feel genuinely remorseful of what we've done?

So why does it suck to be a teenager? Besides your hormones playing tricks on you? It's because you're no longer a kid but not quite an adult yet.
I can't make my own decisions. Never learned. More than that, my mom (yes, my mom, laugh at me please) constantly tells me what to do, who to date and who not to date. Once she starts to say her stuff I can't get it out of my head. She badmouths all my dates that I chose for myself and then I just can't get her stinging words out of my brain. I live on my own, but she gets me over the phone all the time. I don't know what I want, and it's getting too late to want anything. I'll be old soon.
I was married (my mom told me who to marry, he seemed like a nice guy), I'm separated now. Luckily, I don't have children to participate in this mess that I call my life.

So... How do I grow up? I can't go back in time and hang out with teenages and make all the teenagers mistakes and learn to be normal. Any help on that? Pretty please

I don't feel wanted, needed, or useful. Nearly everything I do, I do alone. I've got nobody to share things with whether they be good or bad, and nobody cares to talk or pay attention to me even when I make the first move. Life is just a constant, uphill battle and I'm so tired and weary. So, tell me. Why should I go on? Why should I continue to subject myself to this hell...?

Oh, and please don't tell me to seek God or to immerse myself in a hobby. I already have those things. These things, as many of you should know, are not substitutes for the warmth, the touch, or the understanding of another human being...

I was diagnosed with OCD and Depression in April this year. I have been on Aropax, Luvox, Zoloft. None of these helped. In fact, the Zoloft magnified my rituals and compulsions to the point of taking 9 hours to complete them. I was only on Zoloft for 10 days(100mg a day for 7 days, and 200mg for 3 days) I had possibly psychotic/schizophrenic symtoms on the Zoloft. I thought they would go way after I terminated the medication. They didn't. Now, I've been on Clomipramine(200mg a day) for over 4 weeks. Again, to no avail. Instead, I've developed hypomania and agoraphobia on top of the psychotic/scizophrenic stuff. Has the Zoloft messed around with the chemicals in my head and given me irreversible, permanant brain damage? Why is the Clomipramine making things 10 times worse?, keeping in mind that I already have bad side effects.
I mean, every medication I go on I just get get worse. Can someone recommend a drug for OCD that I haven't mentioned? Combinations of drugs? I really need help
