Hey everyone. My friend just went to the hospital last weekend because he had been experiencing seizures. He claims to recall nothing slightly before or after each seizure. He's had other strange effects other than the seizures themselves that he was unaware of until told. He occaisionally had restless nights in bed making strange grunting sounds, once followed by a seizure. The doctors prescribed him Dilantin, and told him that sometimes "nothing" can cause seizures, but that answer seemed very... iffy. He all sorts of tests done, and was kept in the hospital for several days. My question(s) are... If the doctor wasn't being 100% truthful, or truely didn't know.. what are some POSSIBLE reasons for these seizures, and number 2, will his uncomfortable side effects from the dilantin wear off in time? Thank you very much.

I started a new job three weeks ago and two people seem to have taken a dislike to me for some reason. One of them was shouting at me across the office for not doing something but I couldn't as the information required hadn't arrived. Today the boss called me in to ask why wasn't doing my work properly and said they complained about me. I explained the info hadn't arrived and said it was unprofessional for that person to shout at me across the office but that i wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise. I thought this was my dream job and these people are wearing me down with constant niggling. I haven't had any training on the computer system which is very specialised and yet they are moaning when I make a mistake. My previous job was senior but it was abroad. I took this job as I wanted to return home but now my life is a misery. They even made things up that the told the boss. I told him it was rubbish but why should he believe me over them? I don't want another job butwhat can I do?

I recently decided to take a break with my boyfriend because he acts depressive and projects his negative feelings onto me (constant criticism, never wants to do anything, etc.) and nothing I ever do makes him happy. I have been trying to convince him to go see a psychiatrist or counselor, because I don't think he can pull himself up on his own. Obviously, I can't do much to help since I seem to be one of the things that makes him depressed/angry. However, he does not want to get help, saying that he just doesn't want to go or doesn't have the money. How do you convince someone that they need to get help for depression? Regardless of whether or not I continue to date him I still care for him and want him to be happy.

I don't know I'm just depressed about life right now. I'm 17 and I just feel that if something happened to me and I died right now, no one would even care or feel bad that I was gone. I dont want to hurt myself and I never will, I'm just saying that if i died in a freak accident. I don't have a ton of friends, I just feel sad and lonely. Can someone help me out. Do you think this really is the case that no one would care if I died?

How pathetic, I know!
But I need to be told why I should be motivated!

Tomorrow I have a very important appointment, for which I should be reading and preparing and doing research. It is something I want (I think) and it could be the start of something new. I'm lethargic and scared and I feel like a big blank. No emotion, no feeling. I wish I could FEEL something, anger, pain, hurt, love..I am just lethargic and unable to move a muscle to do anything. It's like I'm sleepwalking:(

Plus I am very stressed with stuff from work (I've procrastinated too much) and school and boyfriends..Every time I procrastinate and every time it's getting too late and every time I panick and just freeze!!!! I don't know how to get out:)

but what if you've already tried everything else? isn't that what they are for? it's like people are saying you cant trust your doctor? I mean is this going to make my life worse or better? because right now I can't picture anything making my life worse, even being dead.

I will be starting back to college in January for the 2008 Spring semester. I did not go this fall because of health problems. I was diagnosed with depression a long time ago and deal with it everyday. My question is how do you keep yourself motivated to make it through the classes and studying all that is required when you just do not feel like it. I have been in college for a long time because I am having trouble keeping up with all the work. I am not a lazy person. I have a full time job, working 7 days a week. When it comes to college though, it becomes so tough for me to keep up. I see everyone else getting good grades and what not and here is stumpy me. I want people who have depression and are going to college to tell me how in the world they are keeping motivated? Having no energy and taking classes just do not go together!

I guess this is post high school anxiety, but I feel like i can't seem to reach either the opportunity to find a school, have money for the intuition or get a job.idk wither it's depression, laziness, or whatever. I have many intersts, but they aren't really something that can get you a career or into a school,(listening to music,watching films, etc.) and i want to become a writer,which i do write and read a lot as well but i still feel helpless and lost.
So my question is, is this normal for kids that are my age and status and how do i snap out of it? I feel horrible because it seems to drive both me and my family insane. Please,no harsh comments, i'm truly stressed out here.

In the last 3 years i have been in 2 relationships more than a year and 2 relationships less than half a year. I have only been single for a maximum of a few weeks in between each one and i think i am suffering by not taking a break and being with myself. I feel 'emotionally burnt out' and feel i don't know my own feelings sometimes. Despite this i really enjoy being with my current girlfriend but am worried that these anxieties/stresses that come and go will end it. Any advice is more than welcome. Thank you.

I have no life. I go to work. I come home. That's it. Sometimes I long to go out and do things, but whenever I do go hang out with people, I remember why I don't do it in the first place. I spend my evenings at home, playing video games, starting weird craft projects, etc. I have some sort of sick superiority complex, and the stupidity of the general public annoys me to the point that I cannot even deal with it. My husband is the only person who doesn't annoy me. Wtf is wrong with me?? I think I just worry, because I truly don't see anything wrong with how I am acting, but my former friends seem to be worried. Is anyone else this way, or have opinions on it?
