i was molested when i was 9 by a relative of my father. i've been hiding it for so long. i did not seek for help right away, i thought i could forget about being molested and move on. but i was wrong. i often get flashbacks about being sexually abused as a child. i feel so ashamed and filthy. i want to talk to my counselor to see what advice she can give. i'm afraid that she would report it. it happened ten years ago before i came to america, do you think my counselor would tell the police about this?

Whenever I watch tv, or stare at my computer for 30 mintues or more, I go into the daziness kind of feeling, I completely zone out, then when I leave the computer or whatever, it takes a while to get use to my surroundings again, I'll almost get a panicy feeling sometimes. I use to play an online fantasy game for hours on end, seemed to all start there and get worse. I've quit now though. Any ideas what the problem is?

i have really been through alot in this past year... i started cutting awhile ago and when my parents found out i got taken to a psychiatrist (idk if thats spelled right?) but it helped a little i just didn't like going at all. they said i was depressed though.
well i stopped cutting but my grades REALLY slipped and i failed 2 classes...(im usually an A & B's student).

It seems so scary when i think of it, it seems like I'll be like trapped in there forever, won't I? How will I ever get back out? Doesn't it seem scary when you think about it? I always think of what will I do. If I'm a vampire I'll live forever right?

Back in 2004, I lost parents to cancer. My mom died fast in the hospital in April, and I cared for my grandmother until she died in October. When they died, I inherited my brother and the house I grew up in as my responsibility. My brother has hypotonic cerebral palsy, making him a 5-yr-old in an adult body. AND my house had a flood last year, forcing some walls and ceiling to be removed. This I can deal with, but its my future that scares me. Before they died, I was cloistered by my parents in grammar and high school. They lost too many loved ones before I was born, they were afraid I would become lost too. After they died, I split caring for the house and my bro with college studies, but I'm screwed with my major. I chose Journalism, and I'm graduating this January, but I have no internships or writing experience to help get a job. Plus,I feel bitter and resentful on missing out of being young like 20-somethings my age. I know better, but I'm lost. God failed me, now what?

I have been suffering from moodswings, panic attacks, and chest pain. I get down easily, and when I come out of it, I feel really bad. I have never gone to a doctor about this because I do not want to be on medication or in group councelling. I want to get through this virtually on my own. I dont know if my problem is an anxiety disorder or a form of depression. This problem of mine has seriously effected my relationship with my bf of two years. I dont know what to do. Any advice out there?

I have been on an ever increasing dose of Xanax for the last 5 years. I am now at 3mg/day. I have been at this dosage for maybe two years now. It doesn't seem to be working anymore, and I'm looking for alternative, homeopathic suggestions. I am under the guidance of a psychologist and psychiatrist and have a good network of doctors, but I am at a loss right now. I can't sleep, eat, sit still, anything. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone out there may have. I am considering homeopathic alternatives but don't know where to start.

My dad's got an AWFUL temper and he has had to have anger management in the past. I think, as I get older, i've started to inherit his behaviour. I'm 19 and the other day I was walking down the street and some guy walking up to me (who looked over 40) walked up to me real close and blew kisses at me and I lost it I started shouting and swearing at him in the street!

Why do i have guiltiness for one thing most of the time?
Is believing that you'll get punished ocd?
i feel that for the unwanted thought, i'll get punished by being unable to do thing properly in every aspect of life, such as my thought, movement, and everything will be of curse because of what i did
i feel this way anytime i convince myself of being guilty
i feel that i need to ask for forgiveness for what i said or else i'll get punished
i also kind of curse on myself that i'll be doing weird things like suddenly i'll think that i'll be thinking of my movement and im going to look weird, i know that but people are not likely to notice
there's nothing like this system of punishment, right?
the only difference and ultimate decision is between heaven and hell?
i having a hard time right now, kind of depressed about the blasphemy thing that i did a few years ago, can't let it go because it's such a big deal, but i can't remember if i said the blasphemy or not, i got frustrated saying it in my mind, so i let it out
i know it's time to move on, but..

the only thing i can do now is ask for forgiveness, but i don't want to, i feel like im getting dragged everywhere when i list all the reasons why i shouldn't be guilty and about other things
should i just not do it because it's my ocd?
everytime when i feel depressed or feel that i need to do something, should i ignore it and move on to fix this?
i want to fix it by myself but im ok for a few days, but it comes back, and i have to fight with it again or am i doing wrong?

hope you answer my questions instead of telling me to go because i've heard that over 100 times from just this section
13 minutes ago

if it's something that needs to be fixed, it everything that i do would be on my mind, but constantly have at mostly or more than one thing on my mind to think about all the time unless i convince myself that im free of it because of this reason
i always have to have a reason to have freedom, but there's too many category and factors to think about

I am having a terrible time with my Bipolar disorder and no one understands. I think I need to go to the hospital and I am afraid to tell anyone. My husband thinks I need to be put on Xanax to solve my problems. I think it is much deeper than this. I am not sure what to say today.

I find myself drowning in paper, books, magazines, brochures, music cd's, scrap wood, merchandise packaging, clothing I no longer use, etc.

I have also noticed how depressed and angry I usually feel when I'm home. Could these things be related? If so, how does that happen?

I have too much cleaning to do and so much clutter to get rid of that I feel completely overwhelmed. Only recently have I begun the task by selling a few things online. Most things though, I find I cannot or do not want to part with because of sentimental value or emotional value. Where does that come from?

What can I do to straighten out my life and live more simply? Please be serious with your suggestions. This is a very serious problem with me. The simple "throw away what you're not using" has never worked for me. I'm trying all I can to find a way to deal with this problem in a way that will not cause me grief and regret.

Thanks very much for taking time to post your thoughts here:)

My daughters friend asked me if I take prozac? I answered no. And asked her why? She said because my mom takes it all the time whenever shes in a bad mood. I've heard of it, but really don't know anyone that takes it or what it's prescribed for?

(I'm 16)

So I have sleeping problems. It seems to take me forever to fall asleep at night, and when I do, I constantly wake up. I miss a lot of school(mainly morning classes) because when it's time to get up, I have bad headaches, and I feel like crap. I'm very restless at night, and only get about 5 hours, if I'm lucky. I'm home now, because of this problem. I stayed home for the day, after I woke up around 10, because my history teacher has a bounty on my head. Seriously, he came into my biology class, asking where I was. When he noticed I wasn't there, the two techers had a "discussion" out in the hallway. (or so my friend says) This has become a huge problem. My parents don't believe me, the school thinks I'm skipping class, and I feel terrible. Please help me, since no one else will!


P.S.- My dad suffers from a sleeping disorder, sleep apnea. Though it's much different than what I'm dealing with.

You pay someone to give you advice..

To be your.. source for all your problems.. to be the answer or to help you find the answer..

But you pay him.. and he is not your friend, not suppose to be..

Does it actually work?

Honestly.. I think it'd make you feel worse.. No?

I have Bipolar disorder and this time of year is really bad for me. I took off work today because I was afraid to go. I am afraid of people and what they think, although people are nice to me. I don't think I am a very good teacher, although the kids like me. I am scared and lonely all of the time and all I think about is dreading work. It is making me so ill. I am scared to leave the house almost. I don't want to give in because I am the provider...my husband does not work at this time and we have no kids thank the good Lord. I see my psychiatrist today and I am afraid that he will put me back into the hospital. But in a way I really don't care, but I don't want others to find out. I am afraid to get dressed and go to my appointment. I am scared to do anything. I don't know what to do!!!! I don't feel right. I feel so all alone with no one to help me come out of this rut. I have no one really to turn to that understands. I am so anxious and scared.
