Everything can be so down that it drives me to SI and then it can go to normal and then it can go to me bouncing off the walls and not being able to focus on anything...

It seems I get major mood swings sometimes, it is weird. Today at work I was in a decent normal mood for a while and then the last 3-4 hours I was there I just get this burst of energy, can't keep still, can't focus on my work at all, even worse than usual. But still with lots of anxiety, like wanting to scream 'cause I am trapped in this state that I can't do anything to fix it.

Maybe it is from trying to hide my true emotions, I had this moment at work where things kinda hit me and I was just really down. Then someone asks me what is wrong so I say "nothing" and cover it up, then like 20 minutes later the anxiety and bounciness comes in.

My life basically sucks right now and there are only a select few things that keep me going each day... I dont want to give any specifics b/c you guys probably dont have the time or patience to hear them.. so anything to help would be great.

even my case manager wrote and said to me today "Hello Isai and Andrew. Good talking to you both today. Isai, you sound happy. Glad to hear that." I was feeling a bit better but tonight I feel bad, I feel worse. I thought I was making a little progress on getting rid of my depression and deception, but my past doesn't let me live on...this is sad

i am 25, she is 30. people think we are the same age which makes me feel like i must look old. people also think we are twins sometimes. she is always saying how gret she is and people always tell me how pretty my sis is. I am happy for her but this makes me feel like crap, like im not pretty then? I never know how to take this. recently she lost alot of weight and become thinner than me, which has only added to my insecurity. this is such a petty question but it bugs me. we are so different in style too. I am more artsy, punky sexy whereas she is more Jessica Simpson, Halle Berry hot. I just hate being compared and it makes me feel like ****. How to get over this? I tried to talking about it with my uncle's longtime gf and she was like well you're much sweeter and smarter, AKA, uglier. any ideas to not let it bug me?

Hello, I never get excited about anything anymore. Everything just seems so small, dull, and boring. I was looking pictures of that new plane, the A380, and I thought that it looked small and boring too. Even imagining flying in First Class seems boring. What is wrong with me?

I have a few prayer requests please. Could you please pray for my brother, Joey. He is in ICU and has some sort of infection and or possibly having a stroke. He is 41. He has some health problems and really has not taken very good care of himself. I pray that he sees this as a good wake up call. I pray he is Not having a stroke. I pray he recovers quickly and I pray that his new job he just started doesn't fire him for being in the hospital.

Also, pray for my 10 year old neice, Michelle, who fell and broke her elbow. Her mother, Beth, fell off a ladder a couple of years ago and broke her neck and hit her head. She has some memory problems since.

My other sister, Stacie, has some health problems and her husband, Mike, just got laid off. They have 3 kids and are struggeling to stay afloat.

Can you please pray for my family? When it rains...

Thank you so much for your kind prayers.

Please don't say anything if you are going to be mean. Keep it to yourself.

I am aware that many people who are mentally ill are homeless. However weren't they already mentally ill, prior to becoming homeless? My main question is, if a person is medically proven to not have a mental illness or depression becomes homeless, does the traumatic effects of being homeless make said person mentally ill? If so, with help can such a person become socially normal, or are the mental changes permament?

Are certificate programs, and associates degee program, sufficient to land a job in the mental health or substance abuse fields? What training do you suggest I get. I would like answers from persons already in the field. I would also like to hear from recent graduates. I would like to know has it been hard to find work, or are you still looking. Let me know any thing you think might help me make my decision about a career in mental health or substance abuse.

I've just been reading through a bunch of essays and articles about how parents are supposed to be informed, and I guess it makes sense, but doesn't it seem as if then we're giving these kids nobody they can turn to? Obviously they may not be able to turn toward parents, professional counselors require parental consent, friends are being told to report to counselors, where does it end? I understand that it may be necessary but does anyone else think that it actually harms the self-injurer more because it requires dealing with it alone? I'm just wondering what ya'll think.

I myself have schizophrenia and have encountered people who assume that I must have split personality or be prone to violent behaviour, neither of which are true. What kind of false assumptions have people made about you?
