Whenever there are normal people getting together, I get panic attack because of social anxiety.

But whenever I see mentally retarded people, I'm scared of them. I don't want to touch them and I also don't want them to touch me. I feel like they are going to attack me or something.

What's wrong with me? if i'm scared of both normal and people with special need? what is that make me? even crazier or something?

My husband is just starting an outpatient rehab for alcholics. He can't stop drinking and he of course lies about it. It is tearing my family apart. Should I allow my heart and my children to be put indanger with an alcholic father? Has this program worked for you and your family?

well, i am 13, and before i was age 10 i attempted suicide 3 times and have been depressed so much of my life. i have never thought why i had a terrible childhood, until my mother got worse. my parents split 2 yearsish ago, but still arent divorced, they are still fighting over crap. my mum lives in an apartment, but will not let me go outside for anything, only to go to school and church, if she lets me even go to those. if i do not have every speck of dust cleaned out of her place, she wont let me go to school. wich i dont have a problem with, its just the only place i an go to get away from her. she yells constantly, and i defend myself if i get a chance. i do not abuse her with words, but she does to me. she today hit me, then slammed my head in a cabinet door. she would not let me eat, and when i walked towards the door she started screaming at me. i dont even know why. she thinks that i need to see a psyciatrist because i wouldnt turn up her tv. all she does is eat and sleep HELP

My husband of 2.5 years was diagnosed with depression 2 weeks ago. Since then he has been telling me (for the 1st time) that his feelings for me have changed and that he is not sure he wants to continue with the marriage. Is this something anyone else has heard of or experienced as being part of the depression? I really dont know whether to take him seriously or not. Thanks!

When everybody thinks he is wonderful?
I was compleatly under his thumb. one night when i was drunk he coaxed me into allowing him to take images of me masterbating and using sex toys. I told him to delete it, he said he had. I then found out that he had been passing those images of me around. he said that he didnt do anything wrong and that I need to be careful about how i make porn with. He told his friends that i was making it up and now they think im a nasty piece of work for saying such things about him.
I cringe everytime I think about passing those images around and because it was close upof my vagina, i feel objectived and ashamed of my body.
Ive been to the police and they gave him a warning but did not press charges.another night when I woke up after drinking a lot of brandy, I was in lot of pain in my vagina and anus area. I asked him did we have anal sex, he refused to answer? I am now worried that he filmed me/us when i was passed out. i dunno how 2 get over it

My mom is depressed, and hasn't had her antidepressants for a few days, she ran out and the pharmacy has been closed every time we go to pick it up. She freaks out, yelling that everybody is taking advantage of her, that no one cares about her and that she is under appreciated. I understand that she wasn't in her right state of mind when she was doing this, and we got her prescription today. (she was mad that I cleaned the kitchen "wrong") I think I might be depressed as well. For the past year or so I have felt my mental state spiraling downwards. I figured it was usual teen angst kind of stuff, nothing much, until I've recently stopped eating much, feel tired and stressed all the time, like everyone's judging me and I'm not good enough for myself, and I feel a constant knot of anxiety and worry in my stomach. This isn't all the time, but it's been increasing in how often it happens, I only feel very happy when I'm with my two best friends or listening to music.

I am 16years old. The most I have weighed this year is 136, the lowest is 101. My weight goes up and down. I weigh 115 now. I have to stop throwing up, but I really don't want to. The thing is, I don't care about dying... All I care about is being thin. I've had an eating disorder since I was 13. I've now recently started throwing up this year, it's harming my friendships. My weight is under 105 most of the time, but then I binge and then I get fat because I don't feel like throwing up. When I feel fat or ugly, I refuse to leave the house. I just ate two pizzas at a friends. She thinks I have a high metabolism. I told her I had to leave because I felt like I had fever. I left to throw up. I am afraid I did not get all my food up. I need advice on how to be more effective in my purging but I also need someone to help me care about myself. Does that make sense?

I have pretty much come to terms with myself that I have a drug addiction.
I am addicted to Vicodin(Hydrocodone). I've tried to stop taking it, but then I just turn into a horrible person, I start yelling at peole, and getting irritated, and I get really upset, and I am just like a monster.
The other thing is that I have suffered from addiction before, I was dependent on a post operative pain-killer percocet(Oxycodone). I received counseling for my addiction, and I was clean for many months, but I had Vicodins left over from dental surgery, and now I am hooked on those.

I am so scared to tell my family that I have a new drug problem, since they already knew I suffered from one before. I am afraid that they will look down upon me and put me down about my drug habits, and how I bring disgrace upon our family.

My parents think I am clean, and fine, and if I tell them, I am afraid everything is just going to be horrible, and my parents will never trust me again.

What can I do?

Well, I just came out of the most devastating relationship I've ever been in. I lost everything, literally, for her and even if it was my decision to leave her...I'm not even close to being over her even though I SHOULD. So I need a blog or forums where I can post the whole long story, vent, and just get others to talk about it and help me out. I have lost everything, not even on my own computer, so I can not pay for any blog. Whoever gives me a good place will be put as the best answer and I will search every answer of yours and give you a thumbs up that I can.

I know of 3 women who currently taking "Lexapro". Two are being treated for "depression/anxiety", one is for "panic disorder. Has anyone experienced this possible side effect? It's an "obsessive" interest in other men. Although these women know these men, were given flattering attention, (even the slightest) it's as if these women are consumed by these men, unrealistically. Most importantly, these women were the most rational, realistic woman regardless,
of their "conditions" before "Lexapro".
Lexapro totally keeps the panic attacks under control for one woman.
Any "OCD'S" as a side effect noticed by "Lexapro"?

I recently started working in a psychiatric hospital, and I have noticed that the hyper-religious patients are the most psychotic. Are these patients psychotic because of their religious beliefs, or are they hyper-religious because of their psychosis?

I have harbored childhood memories of sexual abuse for 20 years. It effects alot of areas of my life. I recently decided to try and confront my problems. I read a book that said I should confide in someone close to me. I did, a sister. She told my mother. Now my family wants me to confont my abuser and are pressuring me to do so. It is very hard to find help for men that have been abused. There are few books. Which some I have read. I have researched the net. I feel so much pressure. I am starting to have nightmares about the abuse that I went through. I don't know what to do. I don't feel that I can confront him.

My names Eve and im 14 years old. Since i was little i have been clumsy and absolutly shocking at sports. Ive never been able to catch/throw and i can't run for toffee, which is really annoying. Im in the top sets for everything apart from Maths, Food and PE, but i don't understand why im so disorientated. I always seem to forget homework and im always misplacing things like my house keys and my phone which gets me into trouble a t home as well as school. Im always really frustrated and, according to my parents, paranoid and obsessive.
My friend told me that i could be dyspraxic, but my parents refuse to believe this because they said dyspraxia only comes with problems like dyslexia and autism and i have neither. Could somebody tell me wat my problem is before i start banging my head against a brick wall in frustration.

i think im the only one that believe that im going to get punished if think that i've done something to get punished and it even affects my every movement and thought, is this only me?
when i get rid of one thing, it comes back again with a different plan and weapon that i'll be easily subdued to
such as a point that i haven't considered wakes me up and i start feeling guilty again
i have considered every possible point from every angle for every guilt i had, which is a really cumbersome habit
i don't know if i should be guilty or not
should i move on regardless of any extremes i take, such as unwanted thoughts, such as blasphemy, and saying them out loud because of frustation, then i become more guilty

I thought you need to have the basis in order to go to the next level. How can you think like one if you don't have one? Don't you need to have the support and encouragement of IQ? Can you be successful with your efforts? There's are some people who have the opportunity to become one, such as intelligent people. By the way, how can I increase my IQ from 136 to 150's? I am planning to be a surgeon, so if you could please give out some suggestions. There are some things that just don't click right away, which means that I won't be very successful, but a very high IQ will do it.
