my psychiatrist was out for the holiday and he didn't leave anyone to cover for him. so i went to my family doctor and he flatly refused to give me any medicine. so i contacted the psychiatric hospital two hours away from where i live and they had no room and so i had to go all the way to San Antonio to a hospital there and they didn't even want to give me meds for anxiety. and if i go to the MHMR they don't want to send me to a hospital and so i could very easily stay home and kill myself. does anyone else have a problem remotely similar to this? and if you do are you in texas? i want to hear from others and learn why this problem is so.

I'm 30. I've been off work for 10 weeks now with severe depression since having an unwanted abortion.

I feel guilty. I feel as though I'm never going to be how I was again. The only things that keep me from suicide are my 2 beautiful girls and my supportive family but I feel that they are getting fed up of me too.

I started cutting myself about 4 weeks ago But now I always want to do it

So there IS hope for me after all! She said that what did it for her was the acceptance she received through the anonymity of the Internet, and I'm sure she's right. When people see your words but not your body, they develop affection they could not if they saw your morbid obesity. They would not bother to get to know you if they saw you first, except perhaps those who wanted to exploit your helplessness.

So like I say, there's hope! I already give Yahoo! Answers credit for preventing my committing suicide after My Steve did; now perhaps I will be able to give you all credit for saving my life again.

Does anyone know of any groups that help with people depressed by illness in West Yorkshire, England? Or anyone elsewhere maybe that I can phone or contact.
I've been ill a long time and it's getting worse... it's caused me to loose contact with people (I now have social anxiety PLUS can't get out to meet people anyway). It's also caused me problems with education.
I'm seeing a self help person and she is trying to get a councillor to talk to me.
But I wondered if there were any people who specialise in helping people depressed because of illness?

Thank you very much

i'm only 16 years old; and i've fount out that i have aspergus.
how unfair?? i've also found out that i can't get married, or have children, or even have a partner; until i learn how to control this illness. i'm too young for a lifelong illness! i also found out that not only do i have aspergus; but it's crossed with impulsive behaviour disorder as well. i need some one to help me through this; as my Mum is too upset about this, and blaming herself; even though i told her that it wasn't her fault; none of us knew this. But she kept saying that she did know it; but the System failed me, they gave me back to my Mum, and said that it was just me being me. HOW UNFAIR??

My husband tells me I am not rational and my way of thinking is messed up. I have suffered from depression in the past (after my first marraige which was abusive and the christians around me telling me I was a sinner for getting divorced, making me feel like crap). But I recovered and met my new husband. He is on his second marriage too (he says the problem with his first wife was her lack of interest in him). And he currently works abroad to be close to his kids. I'm due to move out there next week. But the past few months he critizises me alot. I have been emotional about emigrating&leaving my family, but at the same time I was excited about being with my husband, alhtough I don't really like the country he's working in. Anyhow he likes to know what I do and where I go and ask his opinion on it.
I went out last week during the day and it took a week for him to forgive me. We made up but last night he started telling me again about

Well, I know that it's not normal. But I don't know if it's a disorder or not. She jumps up and sometimes screams when I just tap her on the shoulder. She gets scared easily by any loud noise. She even cried once when I scared her from behind. She's 14 and I know that this is not normal.

For the past year I've been taking Xanax for anxiety. My body chemistry gets immune to any type of medicine very quickly. My dosage was 1-mg 4x a day. Recently the Xanax stopped working and my anxiety got worse. My psychiatrist recommended taking 2-mg 4x a day (it didn't do any good). So we both agreed to try another anti-anxiety agent - Valium. How long can I take this drug? Is it for short term use or long term use? I'm 19 years old and I have severe social phobia.

I just moved to a new town, just me, my husband and my three-year-old. I am working a job that I don't really like, but its not bad. I excersise everyday and for the most part I eat pretty healthy. By bedtime, my heart is racing and my brain is going a million different places at once. I even have dreams of what I did that day, so when its time to wake up, I feel as though I never went to sleep at all! Sometimes the entire week is this way, so on the weekend I just want to sleep! What can I do about this?

i'm 17- 18 in a couple of weeks-- i went through a messy divorce a few years ago-- its still going on even though finalized after 1.5 years in court--- i've moved in with my grandparents and dad-- i'm doing well in school- 90 average overall (senior)--- i've had legititamate jobs since i was 15.

i've had a girlfriend for 2 years (2 weeks away from full 2 years) and we've been through everything you can imagine except pregnancy scares- blackmail- wedding- and living together

we both want a future together after college but it seems too far away-- it seems like we should start now


is it wrong that i feel like i'm 25 when i'm almost 18? is this me being immature or too mature?
