For those of you who believe in "chemical imbalances" caused by serotonin deficiencies that can be helped by the taking of SSRIs: What do you make of this article?

When Im sober Im normally a very nice, laid back guy, but when I get too much liquor in my system I lose my head.
Yes I know everyone loses thier head when they get too much liquor, but Im a little different.
I smile, laugh and talk to myself. I constantly think about hurting someone or myself. I can be laughing my *** off one minute, then crying the next. Id have to compare it to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Am I really looney or is the booze just making me think I am?

Ok...so I am engaged to the girl I liked when I was 15. I am now 25,so it is completely mind-melting to me that we are even talking or for that matter 4 years into a relationship and now engaged....we have a house and all the necessities. She has not been working for almost 3 years now. I have been supporting us to the best of my ability now since we have lived together. I am growing continually worried about our future and I seem to grow more insecure as time goes on. Being in this situation makes me feel this way. I have always been the person who thinks that having something to look forward to can be a key to happiness......and right now the only thing I have to look forward to is carrying the burden of bills and expenses alone while my fiance sits at home having fun online.....couple that with a fear of driving and not being social either and it makes for a pretty depressing situation......what can I do to bring about change and disolve my insecurities about her and our future????

I've had a rought childhood and i use to cry about it alot.
but that didn't stop me from being a nice compassionate girl.
but now that i'm older and have experienced much more bull.. i can't cry anymore or feel any kind of emotion or compassionate feelings towards myslef or anyone else. (for example) someone close to me just died.. and i couldn't feel any remorse or sorrow. but if i do happen to feel something... it's overwhelming and i always end up hospitalizedl for trying to harm myslef due to another break down.
is there something wrong with me because i'm emotionless?

I am SO CONFUSED! is this right? he is only 8, had a bad temper tantrum at school, admitted him back to the hospital, has ADHD, ODD, Impulsivity, hyper can't stop talking. His tantrum was his 1st big one & scarry, flipping chairs, telling everyone to shut up, trying to hurt himself & he was on tofranil at the time when the hospital put him on it. Now he is on the adderall xr 20mg, risperdol 1mg, clonidine 1.0. The adderall is hurting his stomach and STILL HYPER, non-stop talking. What do I do now? My boyfriend can't believe how much more he is talking, we went shopping & my son never stopped talking, only ate 1 bowl of cereal today & a pretzel from the mall. Can't get him to eat. Does this hospital really know what my son has just from being in their 2 times? 1 wk in October & just this last week. They would test his brain or any real tests & my boyfriend thinks that is wrong. Son is working w/ a new therapist. Tonight he was itching all over when I put him to bed. why? pls help

I've just started seeing a therapist for my social anxiety disorder. She asked if I had any friends and I lied and said I have two. I don't have any friends at all and kind of never did, I hardly even speak to my family. I've been a hermit for awhile now.. It's embarrassing to admit something like that so I rather not tell her unless it would benefit me. But I'm not sure how long I can keep this lie up! She asks what I did over the week and so far I've just been saying I've been shopping/doing holiday stuff. Do you think I should tell her the truth?? Could she honestly give me some good advice about this? I mean would telling her really be worth it? I'm a horrible conversationalist so even if i do get over the anxiety I'll still be helpless. I feel like I need to tell her all of this but it probably won't do any good..

My husband has told me he might or might not lose his job. We have a bunch of medical bills and all. He has been taking medicines because of the abuse for over a decade. And I am seeing a psychotherapist because of his wrecking havoc with my life. I have trouble working due to medical illnesses and have thought about trying to switch to jobs where I will not have to do any heavy or even moderate lifting. I am also late for my cycle, which I've been having problems with the last few-several months, being late and extremely heavy. I've been suspecting early perimenopause. I am so afraid if I am going to pregnant. I lost the last one; if I am again, it could possibly mean my life. I feel like my husband took advantage of me after my mother passed away. And I don't know how to do what I must do. I also have been thinking about going to see the domestic abuse counselor again beforehand, in case he hurts me again. Please give me some advice on how to go on. How can I manage?

I have to give a presentation on a book in the next 2-3 weeks or so and I am not the type of person that likes to talk in front of people. I always intend to mumble sometimes when I speak and I hate to have eye contacts with the audience/teacher. I am not doing this alone. I also have a partner with me to present with (well..everyone has one) and I don't want to screw her up just because I was afraid. I don't want to be turned in to a joke if I mess up on what I am about to prove or say. Sometimes my head goes blank and I can't think of anything to say as well which happens a lot to me when people ask questions and I tried to answer it. The worst part is that I barely know anyone in class. Any help of getting rid of fear in front of people in class? I don't know what to do and I get nervous and light-headed as I approach the podium. Thanks.

I was teased at school for around 3 months by a lad who i wouldn't say is the hardest around. 2 years later i am still constantly thinking about him. On holiday i thought about him, christmas n birthdays i do, he has basically got the better of me and i torture myself for it (mentally not physically).

Tonight however i had the perfect chance to smack him. I was at a party n all day yday n 2day i had planned 2 hit him but wen it kum 2 doin it i bottled it. I would like to ask people 4 help to stop me thinking about him and help on why i couldn't hit him.

I am really annoyed with myself on why i didn't hit him :(

I've been offered a better paying job at more career-oriented health company by their vice president. I am not sure how to avoid anxiety over such a big career change. What can I do to make the transition easier?

I've been very good about cutting out all of the foods that act as risk factors for me, and getting regular exercise.

When I have any amount of free time, however, I start to freak out. I want very much to be able to sit down and study, or write, but most days I find myself needing to do mindless s*** just to calm down.

It's really silly. For example, I cannot concentrate on Friday afternoons because I know I have to go to work on Monday. And I love my job.

Medications are unnecessary at this point, but I'm getting really frustrated with doing everything "right" and still having this problem. It seems like my body is actually adapting so that I will feel anxious even when there is no trigger for it.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know what my identity(like how I perceive myself) anymore and I just don't what is wrong with me. Sometimes, I feel like I'm invisible and no likes me. Other times, when my friends tell a joke, I don't feel like laughing ,but laugh anyway. I feel stressed out at times and find nothing I used to do as a interest or comfort. I find it quite hard just to be happy and not worry too much. I find it so hard to tell my friends stuff because I'm afraid I'll be taunted behind my back or ruin their happiness. Sometimes I feel like my friends don't even notice me and I feel lonely all the time because most of the times, they talk to me and then it gets sidetracked to something else and then they start talking to someone else. My guyfriend told me I should get a boyfriend, but I don't know. My grades are slipping and I'm starting to feel like I'm never going to raise my grades. Is something wrong with me?

I know it may seem odd to have this on the society and culture section but it is more of a general population topic. I have been doing research and contemplating on this topic for over two and half years now. Hearing voices is not nearly as rare as some people may believe. Just do your own quick research on the internet and you will find that possibly millions of people globally experience them. I have narrowed the experiences to:
1) Mild and memory (where the sufferer hears their name being called or their inner vocal mind turns memories into voices to help process the experience.)
2) Mental disorder (I'm sure the majority of people are familiar with this one.)
3) Government intervention/experimentation (possible under certain circumstances and often well documented but still very rare.)
4) The Gift (often associated with brilliance, the 'hearer' gets vocal messages to change their behavior in order to improve their life or to improve the understanding of a topic.)
