I was with my ex-husband for 7 years and I overlooked a lot because we had kids together but looking back, I think he may have some problems. He used to hit walls and punch holes through them. He would also hurt himself, like punch his own face to the point of bleeding. He is very spoiled so I don't know if it was just a tantrum or if there is some mental problems. He is also a drug user and a drinker but he did this stuff even while sober. He also never seemed to have guilt about anything.

I won't go into details. Lets just say I was one of many children facing everyday abuse growing up. I was taking this abuse, and at the same time, everyone was setting such a high standard for me. It has caused me problems as an adult. Problems in the way I relate to others. I am a hard worker. Every job I have had I gave it all I had. And many times my co workers didn't like me. Alot of them treated me like; "What is this guy trying to prove?" I've lost jobs because I would literally go off! But I could not figure out how people could dislike a hard working person. Was it because I didn't talk much? Hard work helps to ease stress. I enjoy physical labor. But I literally hate it when people do everything in their power to destroy your opportunities. I want to think its just me! Its just the way I handle myself. But all I want is to be successful in everything I do. I'm not a jealous person. Happy people make me happy. I don't understand how someone can hate me! What am I doing wrong?

I know that I have always wanted to be a musician. I have always watned to see myself in a band or at least playing as a career choice. I have composed some songs and I have showed it to a few people in which they say its good. Im too scared to show other people in the fear they will laugh at me or think of my ideas as stupid. I really dont have much going for me right now in the sense of not being where I thought I would be at my age. My friends are married , have kids , or going to school. I am planning to go back to class but Im not sure in what. I guess it all comes down to what I should do with myself now. I have always depended on destiny and so far, she hasnt dealt me a bad hand. Not sure what to do

I have lost a motivation to do school work. These days, I just force myself to complete it...but that's not going to last long. I've met so much disappointment in my life, I am upset. And I think I might be somewhat depressed. I'm overweight and I just joined Weight Watchers. But how do get inspired again? Now, I just do my homework mindlessly. Part of the reason is because I'm failing this one particular math class; for some reason, every other subject is a A or B. Just that one subject, math. I get tutored by a teacher twice a week. What should I do?

Most important question:
How do I get motivation back?


I want to stay-drug free and not lie. Lying has gotten me into trouble. I used to be a bad kid who turned things around and I don't want to fall back into my old ways. No drugs, thank you

My dad is OCD, diabetic, and depressed. He is also a hardcore Christian and would never do anything the Bible is against (I'm not the same way- but that is my dad)

Recently, he and his girlfriend broke up and he had to quit his job. All he does is sit around and think, and become worried about things.

His diabetes has always been under control because he's so obsessive about keeping his numbers right where they should be. However, he had some sort of panic attack one week ago and we had to pick him up from the hospital. My brother searched the papers where he records his sugar readings, and his blood sugar level had been through the roof at 380! It's normally around 90-120, and rarely was it above 200.

So now I find out he's been in the psych ward for 4 days... they have taken away his insulin pump. Apparently he has been a bit lucid... they asked him how he got there, he said "the squad". They asked him if he tried to hurt himself and he said "yes". They asked his method, and he

It is a terrible side effect. Does it help to take the medication in the morning verses night? If I decide I want to get off of it... I do know that that will be a side effect. How long will it last?

So if I stay on.... is there anything I can do to decrease night sweats... If I go off, how long will I suffer from the withdrawal symptoms of night sweats?

Do you think people who are suffering from serious mental diesease can not have a successful life? My older sister is suffering from it. She was a qualified doctor, spent a normal life but her life was ruined because her relationship was broken up. For the last 15 years, she went through electric shocks, pills, sorta prision life at hospital, all her own. She got married with another guy but she was divorced when her hubby figured it out. So All I am asking here is that she will spend her future life like this forever? She is just 38.

twice. Today was the 1st time I saw it. She has been in and out of counseling with no apparent improvement. The main problem is that our mental health insurance coverage has a $2000 deductible and we can't afford weekly $75 therapist visits. We are trying to raise 6 people on 1 $37,000 income. Does anyone know of some help that would be less expensive?

I occasionally eat with the intention of throwing up afterwards. Usually it is ice cream or some other dessert. I only do it at max twice a week. Sometimes I want a treat, and can't bear the thought of keeping the calories down. The thing is, I don't feel that bad about it. I don't have a poor body image, and am a fairly functional person overall. Am I doing damage to my body and my psyche?

After my few past performances, I noticed that I tended to start crying a little while after it was over; and I know it's not because no one acknowledges me for my part, or anything like that.

I don't mean to trivialise it, but I was feeling so ugly the other day so I got a knife and cut underneath my eye.
Then the next day I felt worse so I made it deeper.

I know it's messed up... how can I stop feeling like this?

Whenever someone hurts me, I completely retreat into myself. It's like my normally bubbly, easy-going, sweet personality vanishes. I barely talk and when I do, I make passive aggressive remarks to push the persons buttons, but pretend I have no idea what they're talking about when they accuse me of doing it.

Even when the person tries to be really nice to me to make up for it, I go out of my way to be cold and distant, but I do it in such a way that they can't quite put their finger on what's not right about my behavior.

My father's family is very messed up i think they deal with problems by laughing it off "We don't cry we say Ha Ha" I find it very ineffective. They have a long history of alcoholism. My way of dealing with problems is very democratic and I talk things out and try to help each other with problems. You know the way therapists reccommend. I don't drink or smoke or had any drug problems. they have and do. i have a depression problem though. but that's why i have a therapist. so is what i'm doing right. I try theraputic method sto curb anger & depression.
