My father has been depressed or something for the past 3 years and it hasnt got any better. It all started when him and my stepmother spilt up(he believes she cheated on him.) He ended up shutting my grandparents out of his life as well as his brothers. He has cut all of his friends of out his life too. He has been in serious relationships, but all of them end the same way he is convinced that they are cheating on him. And honestly i dont think thats the case. He believes that they are just using him and the men that they are cheating on him with drive by and i know of one instance he swore they got into his truck. He is convinced people at work are out to get him and trying to get him fired. He also thinks that he has splinters in his hands, (he has thought this for 3 years) he has scabs from trying to get them out. My sister went over to his house the other night and he was in shorts and no shirt and he had scabs all over and told her that they had got into his bloodstream.

I have been suffering from depression for over 10 years. I have tried 5 different therapists. Just started seeing a new one last month. I have been on Lexapro and now am on sertraline. I am so bored with my life (i have tried ways to add excitement but nothing works) and sad and depressed. I don't want to live anymore. What's the point of living until I'm 85 if I'm fighting depression and miserable the whole time? I can't remember the last time I was actually happy. The only reason I haven't done anything about it is because I have two cats and dog who need me (yes I know how pathetic that is and no that's not a joke). My family is caught up with their own thing and my friends are far away. I have talked to them about how i feel but it doesn't help either. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm tired of fighting the depression. And I've tried exercise to help it too. Any suggestions or thoughts? I need help, please! I can't take this anymore!

Ive finally had it, I cant take my marriage anymore. My husband has had a drug problem(cocain) for the entire time that we've been married,(1 year)when he is high, he gets paranoid & saids im cheating on him & he starts going crazy all around the house looking for whoever im cheating with. If my friends bring one of their friends around, it atomatically is the guy that im soposibly cheating with. I've never even come close to thinking about cheating on my husband. His mind is just not righ anymore & everytime hes on drugs, he gets crazy, not 2 mention that he drinks every week, & smokes a pack of cigaretes a day. Lately its been getting so bad & ive had to leave & stay with my best friend/ family. I dont want to be in this relationship anymore, & im leaving him. I feel so guilty about it because I dont know how to get him help. I guess ive stayed with him as long as I have because I had hope that 1 day he would b back 2 the man I fell in love with, but my hope has vanished completly

I have been brought down alot by them i.e studywise i may not be the brightest kids compared to my cousins who are doctors or something highly. But im working hard to prove people wrong. My life has been so low from the start and sometimes i ask god why me? I am so sick of life and being left out in everything. I have been heart broken so many times i just feel like i want to give up on life because it gets to much for me

I found out that my friend's dad died, either today or yesterday - he had cancer. she'd told me about his cancer, and about all the treatment etc. it wasn't going well, but i didn't expect him to die so soon. me, along with loads of other people, are really upset - loads of people were crying at school today. i don't think my friend was in school, i'm not sure when she'll be coming back, but when she does i don't know what to say to her. i'll probably end up crying, which will probably make her feel worse. i can't imagine what hell she must be going through. what do i say? it's such an awful thing to happen, especially now.

She is constantly running from one room to the next naked, with all of the shades up, in the middle of the day. She says that, "It's the neighbors' problems.... they shouldn't be looking into my windows to begin with!"

When I just asked her right now, she goes, "BOOOOOOOOOORRRRN TO BE FREE!" and started laughing. Is she bi-polar? Perhaps catatonic schizophrenic?

Thanks, I'll pick a best answer TODAY!!!!!!!

I used to have suicidal thought and my home life isnt all that great. I am usually very tired and no energy. I always feel best when i am at work or school but bottle up a lot of my rage and anger. When i feel sadness, i donbt show it nost of the time.

sometimes i dont feel anything at all when i really should. Mom ignores the fact that i may be suffering from this and i dont know what to do...

Really, i am stressed out a lot, i feel i cant do anything right for my family, and i feel i am treated differently than how they treat my little sister.

Is there something wrong with me or is it just nothing?

I work in an insanely boring factory job packing boxes. I usually juice on the job but was wondering if I could find another -preferably legal - substance to alleviate the boredom. Any ideas?

Do you ever lay awake at night, or when you're bored, and start thinking about death and wondering if their is life after death and then you get really scared if there isn't because you know you'll just be gone forever and never think or exist or anything? I can't put it into words, you'll know what I'm talking about if you have...

I am 43 and I suffer from bi-polar but even worse is that I have fears of how I look and worry so much that I hardly even go out anymore. People tell me that I look ok for 43 but I panick that I am aging and I panick about so much. I live in track pants and t-shirts because I feel like I am so ugly. I am 5.4 and probably 10kg over weight but when I look at myself I see someone who is 30 plus kg overweight and I see someone who looks ninety.

Tomorrow I have to go back into the psych ward because they think I am depressed with bi-polar but its my body issues that are getting me down. A few years back I had breast surgery that didn't go very well and at the same time my husband started having affairs - we have separated now - and it seems to be since my surgery that I have developed a over anxious fear of my looks.

I don't know what to do. I see other people that look older and fatter and they are happy but I feel so self concisous. I was never like this when I was younger.

we were on the way to school and she said she's feeling dizzy then she went totally different, was slurring all her words, nearly fainted, and was stumbling about everywhere screaming that she needs a toilet. It was so sudden and like she was a different person completely. I had to take her home but i didnt know whether to call an ambulance or something she nearly ran out onto the road when we were crossing a carriage way. I was so scared i'm still shaking and i cant face going to school. It was seriously like she was on drugs or something but she was ok before that it came on really suddenly. Then when i was trying to open her front door she pooed herself because i smelt it. I ran home crying and my mum said she thinks she took drugs or drink but it cant have been because she was normal before! I'm so upset i cant think what happend- help me. We're 14 by the way.

I have always been very competitive with not only others but with myself as well. Lately, it has gotten extremely worse with me starting high school. I get good grades but to me its not enough. I need that 100% to feel satisfied not just a regular A. If someone does better than me on a test i become extremly jealous and almost consider them to be my "rival" from then on. Its kinda like if i am not the best then I am nothing. I know its extreme but I can't control this feeling. Can someone give me some guidance as to what to do so I don't feel this way anymore.
