They tell me its impossible, i do it and prove its not. Now i have another goal in mind.. they tell me i better not pursue it, you cant do it, blah blah. Then when I say im going to they get angry. I feel like I 'better stay in line' as to not upset them, if I go for it they will be angry. Why are some people so negative when you want to achieve what they call ''the impossible'' even though its not. Why wouldnt they say go for it and be positive and happy? Why try to deter me?

I AM NOT AT THE AGE OR EVEN CLOSE TO GET BIPOLOR DISORDER, SO PLEASE DONT ASK ME MY AGE OR EVEN TRY TO SUGGEST THAT!

I hear voices at night and I end up wakening up and covering my ears. I am also very paranoid. I have to tell my self sometimes that this is reality and what’s going on in my head is not real. I also have to listen to music constantly to make the voices go away. i have had some traumatic experiences happen to me in the past. Am I crazy or something?

I'm a teenager and I'm under depression, at least, from how I feel and what I've read about depression symptoms, I have depression. But I'm not comfortable talking to my parents about this, and my friends arent' reacting well to this either. Who do I ask for help from without my parents knowing?

It's hard and frustrating, and I feel worse everyday. I don't want help, I just want to talk to someone.
I have thoughts of suicide, and I don't want the attention of a therapist, that'll just motivate me more...

And my personality doesn't let other's convince me so easily, so suicide will be on my to do list for quite a while, but I want to talk to someone without causing much attention and my parents finding out

Sometimes I think it must all be in my head, but I started taking it and I feel much more tolerant of the ignorance and stupidity of life. If I skip a day by accident, I have to turn the classical music up just a little more at my desk at work to stay decompressed.
Have you ever taken it? What was your experience? I think it is better than going on Prozac like the rest of the world, I prefer an herbal approach when possible.

I have made the decision to go see a doctor after a month and a half of these symptoms that keep getting worse. I'm 18 years old and was seeing a child doctor so now that I'm an adult I can no longer go to him so I have to look for a new doctor and am afraid I cannot afford this? And how do I go about looking for a new doctor? Is this expensive? Please help! I'm clueless..

Why? All these things can cause death, but death is inevitable anyway, so why so much resentment towards these 3 things? Cheers for your responses.

My son is 4 and he has a speech problem. he can only say a hand full of words and can't make sentences. He doesn't have autism or ADHD and I'am very concerned with school starting soon. He can say " I want juice " or" I want to play game" Only things that he enjoys. but he will not hold a conversation. He has a hard time focusing when we try to go over things in repeation. If you ask him to say something he will repeat it but he will not talk unless you ask him to repeat something

Do you sometimes ask this question to yourself - who am I ?
And also question your own identity - is it a sane behaviour ? I tend to feel so awkward sometimes and so indifferent to situation when I get this thought - its fine when i engage myself into some activity but lets say when i talk to someone etc this feelings grows...is it a social issue or something major ? Please advise... I found this link and it pretty much describes the situation .
Thanks

iv asked questions here before. sometimes i received good answers, many times i received not good ones such as "See a doctor." so im not expecting the best from this but id like any advice anyway.

im just so desperate. im 18, iv had some severe depression for about a year or so now. i feel like i cant tell anyone about it. i havnt told a soul so far. its basically just literally ruining my life and almost every relationship iv created in the past (i mean friends or just any kind of relationship, even ones i formed back when i was really young) have seemed to dissipate inside of me. to all them they dont know because iv hid it. but inside i feel like i dont even know my life long friends anymore. iv been feeling like i cant even turn to my family anymore. everyones becoming so distant from me and i feel there's no where to turn. im living in some kind of empty void now. does anyone have ANY kind of advice for me???? besides from the too often repeated stuff > (see top)

My mother has been diagnosed with some sort of illness, it's close to schitzofrinia. She's mostly quite around people, trys to be alone most of the day and sometimes you can hear here talking out loud in jibirish. She has halucinations and when she speaks to any of us, she has this weird accent. It has been tough living with this, but she's our mom and we have to.

A Dr. has prescribed risperdal to us and it has worked magically. She is slowly getting back on track. The problem is, we put the medicine in some juice and she doesn't know that she's taking medication, because she thinks that she's fine. Since she got a little better, she went on a diet (she had already gained 40+ pounds since she got sick). Now she doesn't drink anything, we haven't given her the medicine for two weeks now. And she's getting worst.

The Dr. says there isn't another option, but I'm desperatly hoping there is. We can't mix it with soda or tea and that's all she drinks.

Anyone? Please!

I am 12 years old and about once a week I wake up in the middle of the night screaming. I hop out of bed and run downstairs to my moms room and say crazy things like Baskets in the theater and stuff like that. I am half awake I think because I can see and stuff while I'm doing it but It's like I have no control over it. I have been doing this since I was 3. If you could tell me a treatment or a way to stop it that would help a lot. Thanks!

I just got back from my psych, and while things are going pretty well, I had a 'blip' (what I like to call them), and am also having some issues sleeping. So, now, my meds are:

Depakote 1000 mg/day
Lexapro 10 mg/day
Topamax (can't remember...just dropped it off at CVS)
and Zyprexa (for sleep, 5mg I think, but only as needed).

These last two are the newbies, and although not too concerned about the Zyprexa, I was wondering if anyone else has ever taken Topamax and Depakote together? Of course, I can't help myself, and needed to jump on and look up both meds, how they work, what they do, how the interact, and have now proceeded to freak myself out. lol.

Any feedback would be great!

I'm feeling really depressed. All my teachers think i'm not outgoing, because I don't talk to teachers a whole lot. I find it more easier to talk to kids in my school. So i'm really confused right now because I don't know if i'm outgoing or not. I thought I was. What do i do? Please help???
