I wanto die.
I hate life.
I'm dizzy.
I have SO MUCH HOMEWORK TO DO TONIGHT, DUE TOMMOROW!!
How can the lord help me?
Some people say, "let the lord inside of you, and he will juide you"
I have never been baptised.
My mom, and sisters have, but I chose not to, becuase I don't, personally, feel that I should be obligated to study a certian religon while there are many others.
But I do believe in a god.
How can he help? How can he guide me?
Answer:
Your posts including this one show signs of serious depression. The fact that you believe in God is a start but you have to be willing to let him help. Being baptized doesn't save you. The act of believing He is the way, the truth and the life, and turning over your conerns to Him is salvation. Sounds like you need to talk to someone though. Dawson McAllister is a great youth minister. try his website
until you accept him, he cant.
God helps in a phsycological way, working through you if you truely believe in him, this means you must change your lif to be more like god.
I don't know but you better get started on that homework.
Post the harder parts of your homework, some of the people here claim to be intelligent.
just ask him to help you,,,he already knows how you feel. He will give you peace,,just the fact that you are asking this question means that you do believe and you want him to help you
One thing I can tell you for sure is god isnt' going to do your homework for you.
Sounds like you have some good old fashioned teenaged or pre-teenaged angst. It's normal. Things will get better .
Do your homework.
first off...check out the unitarian church, they study all religions, and accept people from all of them who want to congregate together, and to reach out to each other. also, i believe your life is worth something. i thought the same things about myself, and i was told by a good friend that i had a purpose, and how everyone does some way. so just be open to others, and think before you do something you will regret. life is definitely worth living! no matter what you are dealing with now, it will get better
all you have to do is to trust in god and he will guide you to what you really need help. pray to him. i went to my church today and the pastor was talking about the people fishing in the boat. they too hated life because they had to fish every day. but god helped them and guided them. he gave them tons of fish. ask him for help. life has a purpose. never say there is no point of life. the point of life is to live.
Oh please. You petition the Lord out of homework issues? You want to die? Sorry, no offense, but you seem a trifle spoiled. If you do believe in a god, then gaze at his creation. From the majesty of the silent mountains to moonlight playing the ripples of an alpine lake. Surely your personal frustrations are not worthy of consideration in the biggeer picture.
First of all,
why the heck are all you people telling her to "go do your homework!" She is obvoisly upset and doesn't need that bs.
I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I do alot to.
I have never been baptised either.
Just try to pray. Pray to him. He may not now,
but hopefully he will make things better.
Hun, YOU are stressed. Turn it all over to God. Pray to Him and ask Him to help you through this time in your life. You will have to turn it over every day; because you are human, you will want to take it back and try to control it. I don't know HOW He will choose to help you or guide you. Perhaps He will bring someone in your life to help you with the burdens of too much to do. Maybe He will provide you extra time in your day to get your school work done by eliminating another activity. I don't know, but I know if you want Him to help and you are sincere in your heart, you must ask Him, turn it over to Him and believe in your heart that He will grant you what you ask. You must have FAITH that He will provide what you need.
Baptism does not bind you to one religion; it is directed in the Bible.
AND, if you are serious about wanting to die, please get some counseling. If not, watch what you say because words like that hurt your loved ones and tear at your mental state. Ask God to help you with this, too.
As a marginally practicing Buddhist, I don't think God or anyone else can do it for you. You just have to be quiet and let the answers come to you. If you experience those answers as coming from "God", OK. But, that's more a matter of perception that anything else.
It seems to me you have a variety of problems here. If you hate life and want to die...well, your homework doesn't seem that important. (The fact that you're also dizzy is just confusing, but leaves me with the thought that maybe you need to eat...or stop drinking...or lay off the drugs.) In any event, you need more competent support than you're going to find here.
On the other hand, maybe you're just having a little emo moment looking for attention. If that's it...OK...you win, I promise to worry about you for a few minutes during my meditations tonight. Blessed be.
Basically keep praying every day for God to wipe the slate clean of all your sins. Pray for that in the church and pray for that at home. Long, long prayers. Then you will not feel like God is punishing you anymore for sinning. Try to be good at that point, with your clean slate, if you can. Insofar as your homework ask for a parent-teacher conference so your teachers do not load you down in this time of emotional crisis.
I think god might have tapped you on the shoulder and said to you... hey...you might want to tackle that homework right now.but you didn't listen until it was too late...
now look at you.suffering! (aaargh!)
Next time...try listening to the little voice in you that says do your work when its time too! He's always there for you.never forget!
You've gotten yourself into a downward spiral of thought. If you're not going to do your homework, just accept it and let it go. It's not the end of the world and not the deciding factor in whether you are going to choose to leave school or remain in the same grade. Save those decisions for the daytime when you are less stressed. I don't think any of your problems are worth killing yourself over. Life can be changed in an instant, so hang on and something good will happen. It always does, eventually. Thank God when it does. Grattitude brings more of the same. Good luck.
No matter what you do in your life always remember that you have God who loves you, so, so, so, so, much and he wants to be your friend. All you have to do is put your faith and trust in him and ask him into your heart through prayer that you could say like this
"Dear God, I am sorry for all of my sins, please forgive me and come into my life. Please be there to guide me in the hard times in my life. I thankyou for dying on the cross for me. Thankyou Lord Jesus, in your name Amen."
God is so powerful. He has the power to move mountains. Just trust in him and he has the power to change your life if you let him into your heart. He is so loving and really cares about you. Whenever you feel sad or lonely you can pray to him and he will always listen to your prayers. You will be able to feel his presence in your heart and it will comfort you to know he is there.
He is so amazing. You can talk to him about anything. You can even pray to Him that he can help you to complete your homework by tomorrow.
I live in Australia and my family and I will be praying for you.
Religion is trash dude. Religion doesn't save anyone.
Oh, in case you guys don't know, Christianity isn't a religion, its a faith.
A faith in Jesus, who died for your sins. Try looking for a song, Safe Haven by Project86. Listen to the lyrics, i think it fits you.
Baptism doesn't save either, its just an outward act of faith in Christ.
There are many ways believing in a god. But there is only ONE God (notice, capital G)
To recieve God's help,
First off, we've all got to admit we're sinners. We've blown many things in this life. So, we all know we're sinners.
Second, admit that to Jesus. He's always there for us, we just don't want to run to him.
Third, tell him you want him to save you. That's why he died on the cross, so that when this life ends, we'll be with him in Heaven!
Then, go out and tell your mom and sisters that you've accepted Christ!
Studying a religion is for those who want to be pastors or teachers.
How he can guide you? well, that's up to you how you want him to guide you. You can give him control of your life, or, you can choose to ask him for help.
About your homework, well, good luck bro. i've got mine too. harharharhar
You have to quite yourself, go somewhere wher you are alone and pray. he will do the rest.

How can Deperession hurt physically?
Answer:
Depression, in fact, is a very inapt word. Depression incorporates a wide range of emotions and behaviors, from feeling sad to loss of pleasure to being anxious to being angry to acting aggressively. Throw in out of whack sleeping and eating, loss of energy, not being able to think straight, and unexplained pain, and a mental and physical hurricane.
The risk of heart disease is doubled in people with depression, and a previous depression is often the greatest risk factor for heart disease and other ills, over smoking, drinking, high blood sugar, and previous heart attacks. Depression has also been connected to diabetes, bone loss, stroke, irritable bowel syndrome, and possibly cancer. In addition, people with depression have much higher rates of alcohol and substance use than the general population.
Good link below with more symptoms.
Because depression is, in many cases, a by product type of symptom of joint pain and liver damage...
Try Sam-e.
eating wrong or not eating
not sleeping
stress
depression usually leads to over-eating or under-eating. if you over-eat, you can gain weight easily which will make you even more depressed, and the cycle goes on. if you under-eat you might lose some weight, which can make you possibly feel more attractive, but taken to an extreme will make you very weak. depressed people can also be prone to making destructive decisions, like cutting or drinking, both of which hurt you physically.
http://www.depression.com
I don't understand all the body chemistry, but true clinical depression is usually caused by a problem with neurotransmitters, typically serotonin.
Some pain, like stomach pain or headaches, can be attributed to anxiety which is frequently a component in depression.
However the deep down muscle/body "aches" I think are related to neurotransmitters or hormones. It is hard for someone who has never personally experienced this pain to understand.
If you are suffering from depression, please see your doctor to get it evaluated. Depression may not always be "curable", but it can be treated with great results.
I suffer from "Chronic Tension-Type Headaches", and I find they occur most often when I am afraid, angry or depressed. So in this case, depression manifests as physical pain, i.e., the headache.
I'm not sure the exact reasons, but the physical/emotional pain can literally be unbearable.
It may be to do with the build up of lactic acid or cortisol. It would be interesting to know.
HTH : )
Absolutely.
over tensing muscles in the body causing the person pain and some times may even cause damage to the muscle. Also lack of sleep giving the body less time to repair and other important things. too much sleep deprives the body of movement and exercise so muscles weaken. those are some guesses I have. most I experienced first hand.
How can complete sleep 8hrs?im only sleep 5-6hrs?
Answer:
If you feel well-rested with 5-6 hrs that might just be your circadian rhythm (google for some defintions). An average of 8 hrs of sleep is probably from clinical studies and people can vary from the mean of 8 hrs so if 5-6 works for you that's fine. If it's not, I think it is easiest to put yourself on a schedule. If you go to bed at 8pm one night, then 9pm, 1am, etc. other nights your body can't really time when you should go to sleep and when to wake up. Try and choose a consistent time to go to bed and make sure it around a time when you are tired on average.
How can a woman with no viable options stop the ongoing mental abuse intitiated by an ex and many others?!?
Answer:
You have options if he is an ex. Get a restraining order. It has been my experience that people who tolerate abuse with themselves, get something out of the relationship. Find out what you are benefiting from the abusive relationship sympathy, victim whatever. Stop feeding it and you will find a way to stop the abuse
You could start by being more specific about what you perceive to be the problems.
Write Dr. Phil or go on his website. Or, Dr. Keith Ablow.
1) Restraining Order for him. 2) See http://www.livinglifetothefull.com... on assertiveness %26 http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... and read page 2. Practise one of the relaxation methods and note the tips at the mental-health-abc %26 conquering stress websites %26 view http://www.coolnurse.com/self_ (.com/self_esteem3.htm).
Sticks and stones can break your bones
but, mental abuse can never hurt you
You have a viable option.....Ignore!
How can a person with alzheimers drive a car or wonder from home and not get in a car wreck,or hit by a car.?
I've heard that some end up in another city. I'm only 47 and I forget things a lot and it scares me.
Answer:
You bring up a great question. Someone with Alzheimer’s should not be out wandering the streets, but it does happen—and it generally ends badly. Many nursing homes that serve the dementia population have monitoring systems in place, such as Wanderguard. These systems can also be used in the home environment. It may seem cruel to put a tracking bracelet on someone who isn’t a criminal, but it goes a long way in assuring safety.
If you think your memory is weakening, there’s a lot you can do to strengthen it. While it is unlikely you are currently experience early onset dementia, it wouldn’t hurt to keep your mind limber. I recommend a video game called Brain Age. I actually wrote a blog on this a while back for Gilbert Guide, a resource for long-term care. Here’s an excerpt:
“In addition to detecting and improving the effects of Alzheimer’s, computerized games can also help keep middle-aged minds agile. Nintendo, a staple of my youth, has come up with a game called Brain Age. The company contends that using the game for only minutes a day and engaging in “cerebral workouts” can stimulate the mind enough to actually decrease one’s “brain age.” All you need is a Nintendo DS to jump right in and start reading literary classics aloud, solving math problems and drawing from memory, just to name a few tasks. The game was founded in Japan, released as “Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?” in Europe and released in the US as “Brain Age” in April of 2006. Some skeptics have asserted that improvement in Sudoku is hardly an indication of one’s capacity to better conduct activities of daily living. One thing is certain—marketing to baby boomers and seniors is a smart move for a company with vast competition in targeting the teen market.”

They can't. Once you are diagnosed with Alzheimer's you can no longer drive. And you shouldn't go out of the house alone.
Don't worry about your forgetfulness. My mother always said, "Oh no...I forgot_____. I must have Alzheimer's!" And I would tell her, "Mom, as long as you can say you "must" have Alzheimer's.you don't. It's when you think you are perfectly normal walking down the street in your nightgown going to teach a class on bubblegum wrappers (or whatever) that you have a problem." My grandfather had it. It was horrible. He never knew he was deteriorating. He didn't think he was forgetful or doing anything weird. If you took him in the car (this was early in the disease) he would spit all over the car because his brain forgot how to swallow. He finally had to go into a nursing home (my grandmother could no longer take care of him herself and he no longer knew her) and he would walk down the halls and take his pants off and pee in the potted plants. They had to put his pants on him backwards. Very sad. Broke our hearts. He was a WWII hero.
there are different stages of Alzheimer's. In the early stages one can still function relatively normally. As the disease progresses symptoms increase and one will lose more and more of their memory which will in fact diminish capabilities

How can a person tell the difference between very dumb and slightly mental retard?
Answer:

I dont think you can because if one is so dumb he is definitely retarded.
you can get tested for being mentally retarded. there is definaly a difference.
How can a person recover from a mental disorder?
i wonder is just a trivial thing you know...
Answer:
Depends on the disorder and if it is an organic disorder or situational (life). One can recovery from Depression, anxiety, and many other disorders. One's like Bipolar and Schizophrenia are organic disorders or chemical imbalances, and require long-term medication therapy as well as counseling.
I am a survivor from mental sickness=At first I tried to do it all on my own==after a few years I met a Christian councillor
I put my trust in Jesus and let him help me and have now been away from the mental health clinic for over 2 years after fighting it since 1989=It took me 1 year with Gods help=This is 2007=2 years away =1 year with Gods help SO 2007 take away 1990=17 years on my own 1 year with God=18 in total
my mental problems started as a teen so i am just starting really to enjoy life and I am 60=this is real
People say you can't get over bipolar disorder, but I was diagnosed with it and was put on medication (Lamictal) and I was on that medication for about half a year until I decided I wanted to join the army. Can't join on meds though! So I stopped my medication on my own, and honestly I feel fine. I know the symptoms to look for if I start feeling like I used too, but I've been off of it for atleast 3 months now and I've been doing great, so currently I think it is indeed possible to recover from some things.
I believe if he does really commit. Constant and consistent prayer and meditation can help.
unfortunately there is no fine sure cure and medication can only help control symptoms and treat it but doesnt cure it and therapy can help but once mentally ill always mentally ill can go in remission and then relapse like any other condition

How can a person not worry so much about everything?
Answer:
I knew a person once that said her solution was to only worry after 3:00 AM and then allow only one hour..If it is so important that she needed to spend time on the problem that was the only time she allowed herself the luxury of worrying.
lots and lots of drugs
There is no cure to help you stop worrying, you worry wart! LOL just like myself, you have to put everything into order, know how to manage your problems/worries and then take it one day at a time. I wish i didnt worry so much either but i guess that is just our nature. I ended up talking to someone about this.
i used to have this same problem. first think about all the things that you have no control over and let all of that go. this probably sounds funny but when i was little i had the worst fear of spontaneous combustion. whether that can really happen or not (i saw shows that said it did happen thats why i was scared) my parents sat me down like "you cant stop it from happening so why worry about it?" and thats how i look at all situations. then the things you can control, well just do the best you can to maintain them and you should be ok.
I used to be a worrier but I realized how it effected me and everyone around me so I stopped worrying about ever little detail and since then my life has been so much better I'm happy 99% of the time. you have to get it in your head it's not worth it and stop your self. .
well i used to worry bout everything until one day i got so worn out i had to stop. just think to yourself"how important is this" "who comes first my health or my work" and "i am here for me i need to take good care of myself, no one else will" those sayings help me :)
How can a person deal with ptsd?
as a child i had lots of abuse in my life, now as a adult i find it alot harder to deal with it than i did as a child.
Answer:
Violet P is right. NLP works well on PTSD. I have used it to help clear out old memories.
But, for me, the bad memories were not the worst part of PTSD. For me it was all the emotion and bad feelings it would bring up. Once triggered the memories would flood in and I would be caught up in them for hours or days, until I learned about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique or Emotional Tapping). From EFT I learned that Emotions are just ENERGIES IN MOTION in our bodies.
Every time you don't allow yourself or you aren't allowed to fully experience an emotion, to feel it, and to move through it, the energy of that emotion becomes stopped and blocked in your body. It remains blocked until you go back and re-experience that emotion. Then the energetic block is freed and cleared. Virtually all of our physical ailments come from energetic blocks in our bodies, energetic patterns that are connected to our emotional patterns.
One good way to release yourself from the emotional blocks of PTSD is by using EFT daily. In EFT you apply gentle acupressure tapping to specific body points to release blocked emotions. EFT is easy to learn (you can learn the basics in 15-30 minutes). You can use EFT anytime, anywhere for any emotional or physical issue. One basic round of EFT takes about one minute to complete. Also, EFT works quickly and painlessly - you do not have to feel the old emotions to release them. And, once the emotional blocks are released the bad memories won't keep coming up (won't keep getting triggered).

How can a lack of sleep affect memory?
How can a lack of sleep affect your reaction time and memory?
Answer:
The lack of sleep has an outrageous effect across the board-it increases hunger, it increases pain, it leaves you with brain fog, etc. etc. etc.
Yes, and thanks for reminding me-good night!
Sleep gives your brain a rest. If you don't sleep, your brain will be so jammed and that's how it affects your memory.
sleep has a restorative function on our mind and body so it will definitely affect memory in so may ways but the two obvious ones are 1.since you'll probably feel drowsy during the day none of the days events will get your full attention, you can't remember what you don't n0tice . 2. During sleep itself encoding and memory retention occurs in the biomolecular level
When you sleep that's the only time where your brain is able to organize the things you stored during the day. So if you lack of sleep the thoughts, knowledge, memories, etc. are not stored well and some of it might even be erased or forgotten. So i suggest get enough sleep for healthy brain and body. (I feel like a hypocrit coz i sleep late at night...heheheh
Sleep deprivation slows reaction time in your cells - bottom line.(That's sort of the short answer wording, by the way-not the 'technical jargon.')
Cells which go unrepaired (from lack of time to rejuvenate and repair while the body is resting) are impaired (Their functioning is down). So, when you don't get enough sleep, your body has multiple reactions; the reaction time slows because your body generally isn't working efficiently; your immune system weakens; you may be slower to activate the neurotransmitters which help process thought/memory; and more. The types of symptoms are broad.
Pardon me but I've gotta cut this short; my bed's waiting (if it isn't, my alarm clock will be).
Best wishes getting some Zzzz's. Too much sleep deprivation can stunt growth and health and shorten one's life, so it's really NOT a joke. (There are some good books about it, too - see below as one example).
When you have used your computer for a period of time and have run a number of applications on it.
You somehow find the your applications will run slower than normal. Even if you only have 1 program running.
Most users have to reset the computer in order that the computer can work again.
Reason: Reseting the computer also clears the stack memory in the computer.
This is the same case as in a human being, sleeping is like the human RESET button. Although it's a bit more complex, Sleep not only allows the body to free up other functions and the mind automatically "arranges" memories and images.
Thus, does it affect your memory, YES.
Answer:
The lack of sleep has an outrageous effect across the board-it increases hunger, it increases pain, it leaves you with brain fog, etc. etc. etc.
Yes, and thanks for reminding me-good night!
Sleep gives your brain a rest. If you don't sleep, your brain will be so jammed and that's how it affects your memory.
sleep has a restorative function on our mind and body so it will definitely affect memory in so may ways but the two obvious ones are 1.since you'll probably feel drowsy during the day none of the days events will get your full attention, you can't remember what you don't n0tice . 2. During sleep itself encoding and memory retention occurs in the biomolecular level
When you sleep that's the only time where your brain is able to organize the things you stored during the day. So if you lack of sleep the thoughts, knowledge, memories, etc. are not stored well and some of it might even be erased or forgotten. So i suggest get enough sleep for healthy brain and body. (I feel like a hypocrit coz i sleep late at night...heheheh
Sleep deprivation slows reaction time in your cells - bottom line.(That's sort of the short answer wording, by the way-not the 'technical jargon.')
Cells which go unrepaired (from lack of time to rejuvenate and repair while the body is resting) are impaired (Their functioning is down). So, when you don't get enough sleep, your body has multiple reactions; the reaction time slows because your body generally isn't working efficiently; your immune system weakens; you may be slower to activate the neurotransmitters which help process thought/memory; and more. The types of symptoms are broad.
Pardon me but I've gotta cut this short; my bed's waiting (if it isn't, my alarm clock will be).
Best wishes getting some Zzzz's. Too much sleep deprivation can stunt growth and health and shorten one's life, so it's really NOT a joke. (There are some good books about it, too - see below as one example).
When you have used your computer for a period of time and have run a number of applications on it.
You somehow find the your applications will run slower than normal. Even if you only have 1 program running.
Most users have to reset the computer in order that the computer can work again.

How can a "recovered" BP be recovered and still have the black/white disfunctional thinking patterns?
Answer:
By "BP" do you mean bipolar? Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder. Cognitive/behavioral therapy to improve cognitive distortions like black and white thinking helps bipolar disorder because without cognitive distortions we have fewer problems to trigger moods, but the two things are not directly related.
It's human nature to have some degree of cognitive distortions such as black and white thinking. If your mood disorder quiets down, you're still human, and therefore still think like a human, so you're liable to notice black and white thinking. At least you can notice that. So many people just think they're totally right about everything while someone else is totally wrong and have no clue that's dysfunctional.
I would like to help but I don't know what a "recovered BP" is.
He means borderline personality disorder.
I don't know the answer to that other than you yourself should know from dbt to watch for the black/white thinking and you can try and reframe the thoughts to make better choices. I think it is about skills.
Go back to counselor and ask them that question. It is a good one.
well are you asking for a bi-polar person or a borderline personaliy. i guess both the answer is it is nature. if you snore can you force yourself to stop?
How bad is it to stop taking an anti-depressant cold turkey?
I ran out of prozac and didn't have anymore refills left and I called my doctor probably 20 times about getting a new prescription, but he won't return my calls or emails. I'm really pissed that he would just leave me out to dry like that. So I've just stopped taking it without having any to gradually decrease my dose. I don't feel suicidal, but I'm pretty upset. Is that malpractice?
Answer:
Depending on the number of times you can document contacting your doc, there is the possibility of him/her being charged with patient abandonment. This isn't exactly malpractice, but depending on the credentials of your doc (GP, Psych) and boards governing licensure in your state, this is still a charge that can hurt.
As a previous poster stated, Prozac isn't one of the "terrible" drugs to withdraw from due to it's long half-life. I personally experienced withdrawl from Effexor XR once and it was a living hell. However, you don't want to let this affect your mood stability so even if you can't reach your regular doc try to call another doc, even if it means going to an emergency walk-in clinic. Take your old prescription bottle, explain your situation, and as long as Prozac is the only psych med they you need they shouldn't view you as a "med seeker" and give you enough to get by til you can get a hold of your doc.
Best of luck, hang in there!!
(p.s. If you have a therapist, enlist the help of him/her. The doc is, unfortunatly more likely to return his/her call).
you shouldnt stop just like that u need to go and see your doctor to get some more asap
prozac in particular is a drug with a long half life, so going without it shouldn't be as bad as going without, say, paxil or a drug with a shorter half life.
as for malpractice, it is very irresponsible. i don't know if it crosses into malpractice, but you should get a new doctor right away. that doctor doesn't know his/her butt from a hole in the ground.
call your doctor until you get a hold of him/her. you ought to get back on it as soon as possible. when you and your doctor decide it is time to get off of medications, you should wean yourself off of them slowly. until then, keep taking the meds/
SSRI meds stay in your system for 2 weeks after you stop taking them.(prozaC is ssri right?).you should be fine until you can get ahold of him tomorrow/fri....yo... might feel slightly depressed today/tomorrow but not as much as before you started taking them....(ive done this too)
i dont think you can sue him for malpractice because i think you're supposed to keep an eye on the levels and schedule an appt in time....its funny you ask ..i just ran out and i need to get downtown to get a refill but im too busy..oh dear...
If your doctor will not return calls or emails, it may be that he is on vacation or something of that nature. If you cannot get ahold of someone at his office, call another doctor, explain your problem and see if they can help you get your meds.
I stopped my meds for two months one time just because I didn't want to take the drugs anymore, it was all good for about a week, must have had the meds built up in my system or something. Anyway, after that everyone that came in contact with me KNEW I wasn't taking them anymore, it is extremely important to take your medicine.
As for Malpractice...check this site out and decide if you have a case to pursue or not, if so, contact an attorney. But again, your doctor may have something going on that is out of his control (My Dr. had a heart attack and was gone for 6 weeks, but had another doctor that the patients were referred to)
it's not a good idea to stop cold turkey and the Dr. office should have called you. i don't know if you would call it malpractice but it is defiantly bad business and neglectful. please go to another Dr. tomorrow and get your Prozac and make sure you don't run out next time.
I would HIGHLY suggest you NOT doing it cold turkey, as
you most likely will suffer for months from "withdrawal" bad feelings,headaches, body shakes, you could gain massive weight, or lose, you might not sleep well etc. BUT the main problem with do it this way is that if there is a next time you need to be on meds, the chances are slim this one will work for you and you may have to try a bunch before you find one that will!!
Just because your pissed at your doc-don't take it out on him by undermining your health and well-being. Could you go to a clinic or seek a new doctor that will listen to you, sometimes even the pharmacists will and can help you out, what about a counselor or pychiatrist, or even an ombudsman of sorts to help you sort through this?
It's your health here not his find a new doc, this one sounds like an overworked jack@ss! I don't know about malpractice but I'd say definitely mistreatment
Best of Luck
I was 20 or 21 when I was taking them and I thought to myself that I didnt want to be on some med for the rest of my life and I just quit cold turkey one day. I was taking 60mg of Celexa a day and I had absolutley no withdrawel effects and was amazed after hearing horror storied. I just started Celexa again after going through a lot of stress this year. My dad having a heart attack, quadruple bypass surgery, gf pregnant then miscarried, dumped me twice, relationship now on a single thread, found out she had twins and only miscarried one. So yea I am suffering insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

Have a Great Day and don't Worry, Be Happy!
I am doing wonderful! I get to pick my hubby up at the airport..I Can't wait to see him again. I miss him so much. Also I feeling like I don't want to go to work for a few hours buit I know I have too.
I'm in one of those hate the world and everything in it kind of mood. I mean, what exactly are we put on earth to do? We're born, go to school, get a job if we're lucky,grow old and die.

To be honest, i feel as though i have no self-motivation, i want to do well in my studies but i cant bring myself to revise when i get home, i want to get physically fit but am unable to get enough confidence to sign up for a gym, im not the athletic type, not fat, just thin. also i have to go to Karate senior class in an hour and my mind seems to drift during class and i try not to let it, i want to go to my next belt, but my Sensai feels that i am to tense, i need to relax, its the same thing my gf said to me a week ago.
the terrible things that are happening dont seem to bother me, but the Virginia tech shooting has made me think about the type of world we live in where one person, through mental torment can kill so many people.
glad i got it off my chest, how are you?
I'm doing much better. I'm working on giving my problems to God and work on the things I can. Things are getting easier and I know I will get through this.
Handing things over to God, for the tragedy. Praying extra for the people there and everywhere as we never know. A little concerned for myself as I may have Lupus or something else but not life threatening so all %26 all I'm ok and have a loving healthy family Let's all be grateful for what we have.
Well... I have been dealing with anxiety for about 3 weeks now so haven't been sleeping often. Last night I fell asleep after 2am and wake up for work at 5am... So, today I am pretty tired and worried that I won't sleep tonight.
I'm doing great! I'm glad I'm able to say that with all the problems I'm going through because problems make you stronger %26 in everything I go through God is always there %26 He always gets me through!So whenever you feel down just think:I am so lucky to be alive today!I've got a roof over my head,family/friends,food %26 drink %26 I've gone through difficult things in the past %26 I've always made it through so I'll get through this too!So count your blessings every day you'll be surprised how your perspective %26 mood change.Life will never be easy noone ever said it would be %26 it seems that things are only getting worse so that means we need to become stronger!!
I'm not about to let the things of this world get me down.I hope you agree.

How am I supposed To get what I want?
Answer:
Sometimes the hard part is figuring out exactly what you want. Then you have to make a plan for how to get there from where you are now. A career counselor or guidance counselor might be able to help.
-w-
Psalm 23:1 the only way to get what you want-is give your wanter to Jesus and he will put his wants into it and fulfill what is the best and most fun for you
otherwise learn this "How does it feel to want?" think about it from the hell point too weeping forever-is it worth it
i tried both ways now Jesus is my savior and best friend -when u got a friend like him -he owns everything so its a good deal! He knows what we need and also what we want-can be 2 very different things
many get what they want but dont want what they get
yell
lyf is extremely complicated and if u want somethin u have to demand for it .... u have to work for it .. nuthin is easy in this world u have to bust your *** out to get something worthwile or something which u desparately lyk......... the end one piece of advice just dont expect for things (nethin in generaly dat u want) because once you stop expecting automatically ull stop gettin hurt .....and lyf will be a cake walk.. one more thg be satisfied withwat u have and if you are not then youll have to work!
Have you just tried to ask ?
You need to ask the right questions!
We can't always get what we want. If you keep running into frustrations, maybe you should re-examine your goals and adjust them to a more realistic level.
Sometimes we have to proceed step by step. First get from A to B before we can get from A to Z.
If your goal is really important to you and you persevere you will get there eventually.
How am i supposed to act when i see this....?
When i was buying something days ago, I saw the very young sales girl ingesting some tablets , I asked her for curosity what for? and she replied that they were for indigestion though they didn't seem like that for me, then when she saw her boss , she hid from him which made me suspect her, so i asked her again what r those tablets , she replied that those were drugs
they looked like "parkinol" for me
Now this girl is very young about 15 ys and she spends the few pounds she earns for those Goddamn drugs instead of helping her family with.
She is destroying herself .. what am i supposed to do when i see this? just stand and watch?
Answer:
what can you do its a very difficult situation to be in.do you say some thing to her boss ,do you try and talk to the girl again.
I'm not sure what i would do it is hard when you see someone taking drugs,and you do feel helpless as they are destroying there lives.maybe talking to her boss,if she wont listen to you,might help in some ways,but could lose her ,her job.its a difficult one but well done for caring
I think there are no accidents in life %26 perhaps u were meant to see her take the tablets?? or maybe she subconsciusly wanted u 2 see her take them for help or maybe she was playing?...u didn't mention what her boss said (if he/she saw what happened).I'd try %26 help her, tell her whichever way u can but that's just me, getting in trouble trying 2 help others...
a sales girl at 15 ? you could try talk to her . her age leave jail bait alone talk and keep steping real fast like
there is really nothing you can do... except by telling a manager or a boss if you see one and all you will do is proably get her fired or in jail... just depends
Maybe she has Parkinson's and dose not want her boss to know. I cant think of any reason anyone would take parkinol what kind of buzz would they get from this drug as a 3rd year med student you know this if you could tell what it was then you should know its affects.
this is happenning more frequently ,drugs are a real scourge of our society it will create more youngsters using knives to get what they want as you can see in the recent ammount of stabbings more stealing and burglaries,it is about time the law abbiding people started to stand up against this ,instead of the police sitting in the office doing all the paper work or sitting in there cars chasing motorists why not get them to walk the streets and yes i know we need them on the roads to stop car crime .Hell i do not know the answer but we must try to help our youngsters to find a better way of life than drugs ,more discipline from parents could be a good start they seem to let them do what ever they like
i,ve seen this an aweful lot ,with the careers i,ve had,i,ve acted in many ways,to no avail sadly,i,ve reported it to the authorities, and had bricks put through my windows,and threatened,the only thing i would say is do not get involved,when the government ca,nt stop it you certainly can,t.
I have never heard of those so maybe you are in another country but first off you shouldn't use the Lords name in Vain as you so freely did and second you should probably just mind your own business and not worry what she spends her money on, You don't know for sure why she was taking them, I'm sure you have enough of your own problems why create a strangers.
It's her business, stay out of it. If it's really drugs, she'll get help. But if it's bothering you that bad, tell the boss.
You can't do anything for her specially. You can just research and study now about these cases. To do something you should be equipped to do it.
It's the same if you saw someone has a gun and going to shoot himself. Not everyone can handle this situation, so please only try to handle what you are equipped to handle.
You can offer her help! Convince her of quitting through a detox. and rehab. clinic. If you're a doctor and can't help, then nobody can i guess.
Give her Cyanide, Tell her it's High quality cocaine.
they looked like "parkinol" for me

It's the same if you saw someone has a gun and going to shoot himself. Not everyone can handle this situation, so please only try to handle what you are equipped to handle.
You can offer her help! Convince her of quitting through a detox. and rehab. clinic. If you're a doctor and can't help, then nobody can i guess.
Give her Cyanide, Tell her it's High quality cocaine.

How a person becomes mad?
Any symptoms he could not become mad?
Answer:
Nearly all human beings are susceptible to madness. Although there are probably a few traits that increase these risks one is genetic risk. Having first degree relatives who suffer from mental illness can increase ones risk, but so can temperament, personality, resilience or ability to cope and a healthy enviroment as opposed to an unhealthy enviroment. No one is safe from mental illness, but taking care of your body and your mind are great ways of preventing mental illness. Be sure to eat right, exercise, sleep enough and engage in healthy de-stressing activities for example yoga, art, writing and so on.

How ..or is it possible, to know if you are having a breakdown??
Just recently I have been feeling really anxious and know that I am not 'myself'...Have just about been able to keep going but..am seriously wondering if this is it..what is called a breakdown...
I feel worried all the time bout what people think of me,,,really find it hard to think straight %26 often fear the worst...usually very optimistic bout stuff...feel really down in general and find it really hard to find the momentum to do anything.have lost the lust for life...
Does this sound familair to anyone? What did you do if you felt like this?
Answer:
The new diagnostic term is 'major depressive episode'. Typically having a distinctive onset, like a 'break' this period of extreme and life disturbing psychological pain typically lifts after 9-15 months. Major depressive episodes are different than severe depression in that the primary feeling is not of hopelessness or lackluster about life, but a profound sense of pain, of hurt feelings. This sense of hurt is paramont in the mind continuously around the clock and does not lift for periods, as may happen within a depression. The person having a major depressive episode eventually finds the fog of pain lifting and a recovering taking place that is outside the force of a decision making process. Although the person can fully recover, and never have another major depression the vulnerableness towards another one is always present and care must be taken to not allow great stresses to develop
.
It is important to get a real understanding of what your diagnosis is. Having the correct diagnosis will enable you to receive good care toward healing. I strongly, strongly recommend you be evaluated by a psychiatrist rather than a psychologist or counselor. This is because psychiatrists are educated in the physiology of brain functioning and mental health and they can prescribe drugs for mental health problems, which psychologist cannot do. At the same time they can evaluate your counseling session information and work with you to conclude the root causes of what has made you have a break. This is important.
For diagnosis information and symptom recognition info, try going onto the National Alliance for Mental Health (NAMH).
btw, I would recommend you take some of the above answers from posters with a grain of salt, as they are inaccurate.
This sounds like dysthymia or possibly depression to me.
You would be well-advised to set an appointment with a psychologist for a thorough evaluation.
Medication may or may not be indicated.
Hang in there,
~M~
ya this sounds familiar... umm just do things that make you feel good such as listening to ur favorite song or hang out with ur friends and talk to them about this.
For some reason you are experiencing anxiety. This happens to most everyone at some time in their lives. See your doctor and explain what you are felling. He/she may suggest seeing a councilor to figure out where it is stemming from. And/or medication such as paxil, zoloft etc. Don't try and figure it on your own. We all need a helping hand from time to time.
A nervous breakdown is not a clinical term, but can apply to many different situations in which someone begins to exhibit symptoms of different mental illnesses, or heavy emotional stress. The term nervous breakdown dates from a much older diagnosis of particularly women who suddenly became unable to function in their lives. Usually first symptoms are or were ignored, prompting what is now known as a psychotic break from reality, or a psychotic episode. This may show up in the form of an attempted suicide, or extreme behavior that requires hospitalization.
Since many different illnesses can cause what many term a “nervous breakdown,” it is difficult to describe symptoms. Perhaps the greatest predictor of nervous breakdown is familial history of mental instability. Those who have family members with major depression, bipolar, anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or schizophrenia are more likely to be at risk for these mental illnesses. Undiagnosed illnesses in family members from the past may manifest in alcoholism or abusive behavior.
Those undergoing high levels of stress, for example after the death of a parent, spouse, or child, or who have been through a messy divorce are more likely to have a “nervous breakdown” if they are predisposed toward certain mental illnesses. As well, even those who do not have a predisposition toward mental illness can have a nervous breakdown if they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can manifest years after a single traumatic event, and may be triggered by a situation that seems similar. With those who have undergone trauma, early counseling can help prevent a nervous breakdown.
Thus symptoms may differ for describing a nervous breakdown, but one can look for the following behaviors as possible symptoms that might precipitate a psychotic episode:
Disinterest in work or family life
Disinterest in social life or alienation from previously close friends and family
Sleep disruption or much longer periods of sleep
Significant changes in appetite, such as eating too little or too much
Paranoid thoughts, such as the thought people are trying to harm you
Thoughts of grandeur or invincibility
Feelings of persistent anxiety or panic attacks
Hearing voices
Seeing people who are not there
Thoughts of dying or wish to die
Exhibiting strong or violent anger
Having flashbacks to a prior traumatic event
Increasing dependence on alcohol or drugs
Inability to pursue a normal life, normal activities or normal relationships
The above list is only a few of the possible symptoms associated with what might become a nervous breakdown or psychotic break. Any and all of these symptoms suggest seeing a psychiatrist for diagnosis, and also possibly a therapist to talk over difficult feelings. All people, at one point or another, may experience extreme emotional changes due to grief or to life changes like losing a job. These are good times to get the assistance of a therapist, as talk therapy can be tremendously helpful in dealing with significant emotional overload.
The best thing to do if you are feeling depressed and/or anxious is to exercise. Just get out and take a walk. Walking and exercising helps release endorphins that promote well being. Below is an article that might help :)
I totally went through what you're going through now. I got diagnosed with clinical depression in my junior year. I saw a physcologist and got some antidepressants. Now I'm back to my old self again.
Sounds like you may have generalized anxiety disorder and you should probably see your doctor. I suffered from this ten years ago and like you, I was normally optimistic and happy. It started out with feeling anxious for no reason, paranoid about what other people thought and it then manifested itself with rapid heartbeat and dizziness. My doctor diagnosed the anxiety but also wanted to put me on antidepressants. I decided to forgo the meds and deal with the anxiety myself. Now I only have the occasional anxiety attack, but since I know what it is I am able to deal with it.
Yes after your first one if you study it and discuss the symptoms as on ByeDr.com you can become very accurate in your own analysis and even to some extent other people's mental health. Because this is not discussed in school or church or home there is a mystery involved. The true breakdown is a loss of reality . That only occurs when a psychotic event occurs . To get to the psychotic level of disorders requires severe depression . You cant be severely depressed until your belief system is overturned. Then the brain has so much waste chemical in the fluid a psychotic event will occur for sure. Since the auto brain can take over strange things will occur. Some of the auto brain actions are ended. First vision is limited to a tunnel, the upper brains are blocked from thinking out answers and solving problems. Language almost always deteriorates. I don't like to teach those studying this illness but for those in the pain of severe depression I am willing to devote my life. You will find some who have recovered willing to help. Any others don't know what is going on and can not understand. Oh yes the pills are to reduce you ability to think, feel and react.
i feel like this often... and i've worried that i'm finally losing it.
someone told me (someone that i trust with my life) that if you're worried you're losing it, you probably aren't... you're still that much in touch and that means there is hope.
find someone to talk to. seriously. it may seem impossibly difficult, but very few things that are worth doing are easy the first time we do them (learning to walk, learning a musical instrument...)

How do most people cope with say loss of loved one?
example close friend passes or family member passes away?
Answer:
Coping is a hard thing everyone deals with grief differntly, Sometimes it is easier if you try to think of all the positive things that you remember from this person. dont rush the grief it takes its own time to heal
crying at night. Depression. Over eating, not eating properly. Over sleeping.
Grief counseling or support groups.
My wife passed away 17 years ago, and it took me 2 years to come out of a very deep depression .I was fortunate that I had a great therapist. It is very difficult, and I don't know how I managed to survive this long with out her.
I had the opportunity to say all the things I needed to and to be there when the passing occured. I felt lucky that she would let me there at such a personal time. I did my mourning with her before she died and she was ok with it. I have'nt broke down because of her passing because I believe in spirits and I know she's there and I say hi often. All I can think of is all the funny times there was. I hope I never get boo hooey about it. Maybe being on meds helps me for depression. However I wish you a speedy recovery so you can remember good times.

Hot-headed?
Does anyone have some techniques for that Donald Duck-type hotheadedness? Counting to 10 doesn't work because I can't even remember to do it when I am in the destructive kill-everyone mode. Is there something I can do to remind myself to calm the heck down when I am upset? It only lasts a short time when it happens, but when I am triggered, it seems like I can't even slow down to remember to stop and breathe.
I am going to try to hash this out with my councelor tommorrow - but do any of you have any techniques to help you calm down when you are about to make a scene? I feel it is a childish reaction and I am sick of it.
Answer:
How violent can a pandabunny get?
well, the most thin i use, i just bite my lip, so my attention diverts to the place where pain is, and i 4get bout the anger, or pinch myself, anything that would cause a little pain. Other than that counting till 10 is good!
Feel sorry for you maybe you should get some sleep so you are not over tired and then grouchy, LOL
I would just say to yourself that you are going to wait 15 minutes before you take any action and when that 15 minutes is up the actions you had thought about commiting will seem silly...
I know what you mean.. I even bought a self-help book guide to handerling stress... To be honest i aint found no techniques that have worked so far... You think somethings gonna work and you say you'll try it when you feel like your gonna blow but soon as you get to that point you dont remember the technique..

Hospital visit not much of a help.?
When I was at school yesterday, I cut myself all over my arms and someone found me and called the cops, and I had to go to the hospital. I came back, my boyfriend made me promise him I wouldn't cut myself. I'm home alone right now for the rest of the night and I'm extremely depressed. I want to cut myself so bad but I promised I wouldn't. What do I do...
Answer:
Its so hard not to do these thing as I myself know all to well, try and do something clean the house anything that could take your mind away from the cutting. also if you have an elastic band or hair bobble put it around your wrist and pull on that instead of cutting your self. depending how bad you are feeling it might help. Its not a promise you can always keep and very hard not to do. If you have someone you can phone then phone them tell them how you are feeling and that you can't stop the thoughts of cutting yourself. I know its hard and that you feel as if they will think things of you but really its for the best. get help now.
take care
Lisa
girl are you emo or something ? dont cut yourself it does not solve depression what you need is someone to talk to cutting yourself or suicide doesn't work
You talk with a therapist and learn to take care of yourself.
You need to not do things that will both scar you and bring you the wrong kind of attention. Then you need to do whatever is necessary to get yourself living a life you're proud of.
I know how your feeling.I've felt the same and cut myself for 4 years.Please stop cutting,i know it easier said than done but i have scars on my arms now that i regret SO much.At the time i dind't care but now i do.You will be the same.You will move on and feel better and if you keep cutting you will have some terrible scars.
Here's some tips to help you i done them and they helped me.
Put a thick elastic band round your wrist,when you want to cut ping it on your arm until you feel a bit of relief.(it hurts really bad but leave's not permanent marks and give's you the same relief)
Hold ice cube's on where you want to cut(it hurts really bad)
Put red food colouring in the ice cube and when you hold them against your skin the red looks like blood.(if that give's you a release)
Hope i've helped you a little bit.I know how hard it is to not cut.They thing's should hopefully help you get through this without scars like me.GOOD LUCK!
Don't cut yourself. When you went to the hospital they should have given you a crisis number to call it you were thinking about hurting yourself. If you have that number call it! If not call the hospital and as the receptionist for a crisis number, you don't have to tell them who you are. I would suggest you get into counseling before this gets to far out of hand. Talk to you parents and ask them if they would make an appointment for you, go to the school nurse or the school councilor. You will be sorry someday if you don't get help now! Do no be ashamed or embarassed, everyone at so point in their lives goes through a tough time that they need a little help with. I am not sure your age, but adolescent years are tough, I wouldn't want to do it again, I am glad I served my tour. You can get through anything, you have to want it and remember you are a bright star in our future. You may not see it now, but you have so much to offer. Don't take that away from yourself our anyone else. Smile, and make that phone call.
The hospital visit should have only been to make sure you were not a danger to yourself in the way of being suicidal. They should have referred you to a ounselor for follow up in dealing with the cutting. There are many people who resort to cutting to help them deal with stress. If you get a counselor who you feel comfortable with they can help you find other more healthy ways of coping. it is good you were able to promise your boyfriend you wouldn't cut but you are going to need more professional help to see you through. If you have insurance or your parents have insurance for you you should call the number on your insurance card for referrals to therapy. otherwise if you dont have insurance I would call one of the crisis centers or a suicide hotline (it is okay to call even if you are not suicidal) for referrals to counselors. Also the United Way has a referral Hotline where they can help you with referrals. You can find the United way near you at Unitedway.org.
Good luck you are not alone in this.
Cutting,for me anyway is temporairly swapping mental pain for physical pain. It also expresses a lot of anger. You need to go to your school counselor or school nurse and stress (in no uncertain terms) that youo need help. Hopitalization is only meant yo stabilize someone. You do not get counseling there. Get some help...the sooner the better.
Good luck.
below is a link that u might find helpfull. you can get over this problem, just hang in there . seeing a counsellor will help. good luck

I am not sure your age, but adolescent years are tough, I wouldn't want to do it again, I am glad I served my tour. You can get through anything, you have to want it and remember you are a bright star in our future. You may not see it now, but you have so much to offer. Don't take that away from yourself our anyone else. Smile, and make that phone call.
The hospital visit should have only been to make sure you were not a danger to yourself in the way of being suicidal. They should have referred you to a ounselor for follow up in dealing with the cutting. There are many people who resort to cutting to help them deal with stress. If you get a counselor who you feel comfortable with they can help you find other more healthy ways of coping. it is good you were able to promise your boyfriend you wouldn't cut but you are going to need more professional help to see you through. If you have insurance or your parents have insurance for you you should call the number on your insurance card for referrals to therapy. otherwise if you dont have insurance I would call one of the crisis centers or a suicide hotline (it is okay to call even if you are not suicidal) for referrals to counselors. Also the United Way has a referral Hotline where they can help you with referrals. You can find the United way near you at Unitedway.org.
Good luck you are not alone in this.
Cutting,for me anyway is temporairly swapping mental pain for physical pain. It also expresses a lot of anger. You need to go to your school counselor or school nurse and stress (in no uncertain terms) that youo need help. Hopitalization is only meant yo stabilize someone. You do not get counseling there. Get some help...the sooner the better.
Good luck.
below is a link that u might find helpfull. you can get over this problem, just hang in there . seeing a counsellor will help. good luck
Holding things in...?
Could you please help me by giving me a list of emotions and a list of things that people hold inside and dont tell anyone. My project is holding things in. So I need some words and things that go with that title. THANKS!
Answer:
1. Jealousy
- obviously, many people DON'T hold this in, but there are those that do...
2. Worried/Stress
- many people, myself included, tend to keep these issues bottled up. I don't usually want to unload my stress on someone else...
3. Happiness
- oddly enough, I think this is a big one. Imagine being in a fight with your boyfriend/girlfriend. The two of you are obviously upset with each other, and neither wants to give in. Now, the other one says something that you find funny, it makes you briefly happy, but you avoid letting it out because you know that that would give your B/GF the upper hand. That's just one example.
4. Nervousness
- it's not easy to hold this in, because it's usually apparent (when speaking in front of groups, etc.). But many people (actors, politicians, etc.) can be nervous and you'd never know it.
5. Desire
- probably one of the biggest for many people. There are people who let you know right away that they want something. But there are also many more that want something and you'd never know it. For example, I really, really, really want another tattoo, but no one knows that. Or, I really, really want to ask that girl out, but I'm afraid of rejection so I won't do it.
I could probably come up with more, but then I'd be doing your assignment for you! Haha, good luck Ash.
ok?well:scared,anxious,jealous... to new people,overwhelmed,untrusting ...etc
?
Fear, shame, guilt, jealousy
anger
Here goes a list of emotions people usually hold in: aggressive, when they feel alienated. angry, annoyed and big one for me is being anxious,depressed. other emotions are bashful envious guilty humiliated hurt jealous lonely helpless suspicious puzzled miserable paranoid regretful discouraged disgusted embarrassed miserable. These are the emotions I would hide if I were feeling them which isn't good for anyone. Good luck with your project. Hope these words help some.

HIV Paranoia worries?
I wondered if other people have thought that they have felt something like a pin prick (e.g. on their lips) after thinking someone they walked past did something to harm them?
Answer:
no soz I have not and I dont think I ever will
i think u are paranoid, this isnt good, if you carry on feeling like that and getting those thoughts you should see a doctor, best of luck
the chances of you contracting HIV on the street just walking around is so minute...(small)...Actually you should be more worried about HepC...But seriously, you are paranoid. Maybe you should see someome before you start refusing to go outside?
This is an irrational fear. I think you need to talk to your GP about this for reassurance and advice. See your doc.
I have suffered from the same sort of thing. It's part of my anxiety disorder. Every single human sometimes has these irrational thoughts but they just brush them aside. Some of us however for some reason can't let them go...kind of having the mind set that...'if I've thought it then it is a valid thought that I must pay attention to' then once you do pay attention to it the more you think about it the more valid and real it seems. I ended up very distressed by these thoughts and they began to make me constantly anxious and took over my life.
Strangely enough HIV was the main souce of my worries too!( I believe now that the reason for that was that it was my worst case scenario. For me it would've meant I was going to die AND I could have given it to someone I love therefore they were going to die. The guilt was horrendous) I REALLY thought I had it (although I never had an answer as to where I may have got it from?!) and that I'd given it to other people. It was a horrible time, the panic was too awful to describe. I was convinced I had it but wouldn't go and get tested cos I was too scared. I then sought help and began taking a low dose of Escitalopram (Antidepressant) whilst having Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This treatment has really helped me. I can now let go of these thoughts much more easily, or challenge them rationally. I discovered that I did this 'worst case scenario thing in other area's of my life too. E.G. I'd think my boyfriend was going to leave me, I thought I was infertile....the list went on!
I really do sympathise with you, it's horrible problem and very difficult for other people to understand. You definitely need to see your GP though, the treatment I had has really worked...it's also helped me in other areas of my life. I'm off the medication now too (I was on it for a year)
Hope this helps a bit.at least you know you're not alone :)

History of the serious emotional disorder?
Answer:
Abuse is the gift that keeps on giving. Generation after generation of passing on both abuse and the resulting mental disorders.
http://discoveries.typepad.com/my_weblog...
As I wrote... the five minute movie has a link to get the DVD on the serious emotional disorder.
Are you being asked this question on an employment or other form?
If so, they are asking if you have ever been diagnosed with a mental illness (e.g., bipolar, schizophrenia, major depression, PTSD).
Highway phobia.?
have you ever heard of someone who canot cross a 4 or 6 lane highway.i nearly lost my life i watch the lights but when the arrow turns for people making a left hand turn i almost lost my life. iguess im slow, any suggestions on how to cross a busy highway? this is secrious. can you save my life?
Answer:
You are not alone I am the same way, I try to avoid it at all costs
Stay on the # 1 lane.
you basically just do it, and give yourself plently of time to get where you are going so you don't have to be in a rush and make more mistakes. plus, if you have a traffic light, there should be no problem. if you still find that you can't do it, just find an alternate route via back roads.

Hi. I have a friend who was told by someone I know that they think I have a multiple personality disorder...?
I don鈥檛, just because I鈥檓 very curious and my mind moves fast鈥?what should I do? I really want to confront them. They also said they think my friend, whom they told this all to, has a mpd too.
Answer:
Stand up for yourself. Likely, the person who told your friend this didn't plan on you knowing, but even so, tell them how you feel anyways. I know this will be hard, as I know some history here, but good luck and it will be ok. Just, be nice and no accusing and leave your friend out of it as much as possible.
sound like that person has too much free time on their hands if they are trying to diagnose their friends and believe you both have that, id ignore it and go on, everyones entitled to their opinion.
Sounds like this person has a muli-face disorder. Only "two-faced" people do crap like that. Confront her and ask her from where she earned her medical degree.
Simply tell them that MPD is a very rare disorder and, unless they're a medical professional, they have no business going around diagnosing it. The more important thing is probably to let them know this bothered you, so they'll know not to do it again.
There is one thing I remember from my Psychology class.
That is when someone acts a certain way and someone else doesn't understand why they act that way, the person will normally make something up to try to explain why that person acts that way.
Try to explain that you are just a curious person and an intelligent person, and there is no reason for him/her to makes things up. Have them get to know you (how you are) and they shall change their minds.
I agree with "Just Me". That person must have watched Sybil and wants to diagnose everyone now.
the only person who would know if you had multiple personalities is you its your head and you would hear the "others" talking also you would be losing time no one has the right to diagnose you with this disorder other than a qualified mental health professionall that you trust to talk to about the voices and what they are saying
You can always make an appointment with you cities version of Mental Health Mental Retardation office Contact the national chapter of Mental Health Sosciety call the nearest County hospital they'll put you in contact with a good Dr

Here's the link to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. You can check to see if your doctor is registered with them. You can call the number they list on the website to check and make sure that your doctor is in good standing with them and is fully accredited. If you have questions or concerns about your doctor, you might discuss them with these people. Or, you might just look for another family practitioner.

Hi, It is hard for me to sleep at night is this a form of depression.?
Answer:
if yr worried that u are suffering from depression why don't u go to abc.com, pick the view and answer the quiz they have on depression.
If the only thing u r complaining of is not being able to sleep at night, then that's easy there are a lot of things u can do to help u sleep better like:
1. Reduce yr caffeine intake.
2. Try to have a good workout or even go for long walks during the day.
3. Eat very lightly for dinner.
4. Have a long nice bath.
5. Have a warm glass of milk before bed time (What our mum's used to do).
The most important thing is to stop thinking of everything that annoys u before going to sleep.
no, it's called insomnia.
Could be. you may just be thinking about a lot/stessed out. you may have insomnia which can be treated.
it can be a side effect of depression but is generally called insomnia. if you aren't feeling any symptoms of depression during the day chances are you just need to get more exercise to make sure you're tired enough to go to bed at night. i know i personally can't sleep unless i've exercised.
yes, it is a symtom!
oh my yes, ive been up for going on 6 days, u think,look for help quick.nice rub around neck and shoulders ,shpuld do the trick .
There are many reasons for not sleeping at night;
1) You might drink or eat something which is mind waking such as choclate or cofee.
2) You are maybe thinking about something spacific.
3) You might sleep at noon which affect your night sleeping.
Solution: avoid those things and try to exersize one hour before sleeping. Trust me you will sleep as a child ;)
no it is not anyway i know how you could go to sleep take a rock are a hammer and hit your self really really hard with it and you will be able to go to sleep
Hi, I just got back from Iraq. My doctor has prescribed me wellbutrin 300mgs a day and zoloft 100mgs a day and
15 miligrams of valium a day. Is this safe? It seems a lot to me, I dont believe i have ptsd, just some readjusting/anger issues.
Answer:
It's not a lot to take, it might be if you're just starting to take them (referring to the antidepressants). You're supposed to start w/ small doses and increase as needed. I also take 300mg of Wellbutrin %26 100mg of Zoloft. Not a big deal. I also take Klonopin, anywhere from 1-2mg when needed, which is stronger than Valium. For anxiety, 15-30mg of Valium is normal. Dosages for adults can range from 2-10mg taken 2-4 times a day or 15-30mg once a day. So 15 isn't a lot. As long as you feel fine, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're worried it's too much, decrease the dosage on your own or talk w/ your doctor.
That IS an awful lot, but I'm no doctor. The 15 mg. of Valium alone would knock me out for most of a day! I'm surprised he put you on that anyway, it's extremely addicting.
well if you say you have anger issues from iraq he may not say you have pts but he may thinking you may not adjust quickly in a given situation sense you said you have some anger issues so he may trying keep you calm and the valium is addictive and that's a pretty strong dose the zoloft treats depression and the wellbutrin may be a antipsychotic I am not a doctor so you may ask about all of it and people also use wellbutrin to stop smoking cigarettes take care and take it easy don't push yourself to hard, and thanks for being a servant for our nation, GOD bless
wow I would say thats alot to be on I was on Wellbutrin and wow i wasn't on that much and then I still thought just the Wellbutrin was a lot
Welcome Home! You people are doing a great job.
I am on 200 mg of Zoloft and 300 mg of Wellbutrin XL. They are both anti-depressants but they work differently and they enhance each other. The amount of valium I would question. It sounds a little heavy. Try anger management classes; you don't want to hurt yourself or anyone else.
Good luck.
that is a lot. I would consult your doctor about your concerns and if that doesn't help get a second opinion from a qualified expert.
I wish you luck, also thank you for serving in the military.
Each medication is aimed at separate aspects of your condition.
valiulm - works to calm you for a few hours
Wellbutrin - elevates your mood on the day you take it
Zoloft - is to bring-up your brain chemistry to sustain it at a normal level -elevates your mood - this works on a delay of 2 to 3 weeks
If you have further questions about the appropriateness of taking all 3 together, ask your pharmacist.
Taking two antidepressants is unwise unless there were serious clinical reasons for doing so. There is an increased risk of side effects both in the short immediate term and in the long term. There have been few if any clinical studies on combining two antidepressants. Diazepam is very addictive. I recommend that you read this resource http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/...
If you have just come from a war zone it is not abnormal to have problems readjustment and anger problems. That is not a chemical imbalance but a natural mindset. It is normal to have such feelings just like it is normal to grieve after a parent dies or be devastated when a wife walks out on a husband. I am not sure if you have a genuine mental illness and am not sure on the logic of prescribing powerful psychotropic drugs for normal feelings. Although obviously I don't know your degree of suffering from 1 paragraph only you know. I think counselling would be better. You may be able to get talk therapy from your loved ones or friends without going to a professional but if your feelings are severe then maybe talking to a professional would help. I would suggest you research the pills you are taking. They are not smarties like some doctors prescribe them as especially when taken long term.If you do not have serious mental health problems then don't use powerful psychiatric drugs. If I were you I would take them for the shortest time possible. If you have been taking them longer than a few weeks I would not stop them abruptly as you can have withdrawal symptoms or as they are sometimes called by doctors "discontinuation syndrome/symptoms".
Sedatives such as diazepam can especially make you go nuts coming off it and can wreck your emotions and memory with long term use. I know people who didn't abuse benzodiazepines such as diazepam who are more messed up from those type of pills than meth addicts.

Hi, I am scared to talk in groups, my thought process is ok..but still not sure why i don't express myself?
Answer:
No don't listen to that person. You don't have to drink to be more talkitive. Will unless you want to, but you don't have to get drunk. Coming from a shy person believe me it can be hard. However you can get over this not talking in groups things. First of all you got to relax and clam down. It's not totally a bad thing that you don't like to be so chatty to a group. You don't have to be and no one can make you. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. When it comes to trying to be more outgoing or talking answer questions with more than a yes or no asnwer. It seems hard, but once you just let what you have to say out then you'll feel more confident. Laughing, smiling, relaxing (sitting, leaning, etc) helps too and peoples might not care about the not talking so much. If comments are said then don't worry. Not everyone has to be the "life of the party" and hey if your able to help friends or cheer people up does a chatty group really mater? (you'll be the one in the end friends and family will come to for comfort)... Ok it's nice to be in convos yes thats true. Maybe you could stick closer to the ones you feel comfortable being chatty and joking with and then you'll be able to talk better with the others. Good luck and hang in there.
gs
yes i know the feeling it's the whole tongue tied feeling like you wanna say something but something inside you just holds you back. You may think that if you do speak and say something no one will appreciate or understand what you are talking about so it's better to stay silent . Then when you work up the courage to say something the moment has passed. It's quite an annoying thing to be stuck with. You need to boost your confidence somehow maybe take drama classes or something.
It's ok everyone has varying degrees of the same problem. Just start by focusing your attention to one friend and express yourself to that person, at first just ignore that other people are present. After a while you will find that you can express yourself in any group setting.
i had the same problem...you need to push yourself to do it! i have low self confidence (for personal reasons) and being able to function in a social scene was very hard for me...i was good with one maybe two or three people but when there was a crowd i got anxiety. sometimes so bad i had to leave.
my boyfriend now helped me gain confidence by supporting me to push myself in social scenes. practice in front of a mirror if you feel it would work for you (it did for me as gay as it sounds...)
you could just have social anxiety in which then you may want to see your doctor. but best to stay off any drugs that would make you different from who you really are. this is how God made you...work with it and you will be great!
u might not fill comfortable talking to strangers that u dont know, even though they dont know who u really or u dont know them. There might be that uneasy feeling u get,maybe it wont live up to ur expectations or just not knowing what is goin to happen makes things weird
There is a thing called gradients - but the major trouble with people having this as a problem is that they trying to speak to the 'crowd' instead of individuals.
If you pick individuals to speak to, but ensure your voice goes out to all people present, you'll find that you will improve your ability to talk to a group of individuals.
But the major practise is to get more practise time in than worry time on it.
It just needs to be in a gradient, just be sure what you want to express and then talk to 2 people and then 4 and then increase the number of people you talk to. And only continue to increase the number if you see you are okay with doing it and then talk to more people.
What about just picking out someone in that group you feel comfortable talking to and let them know that you are going to share but you are only going to look at that person and pretend you are only talking to that one person instead of the whole group. You might be having a bit of anxiety and thats why you are to scared to talk.
I know I have anxiety in a group of people and I dont say anything but when I have to I look at the person that I feel comfortable with and start talking.

Hi, I always feel sad and dull.I don't know my probs. I don't have a job.I am not able to prepare for my job.
I am doing exercise daily but still I feel so dull and depressed.Some one pls help me. I am always in tension and I don't know what's my tension.
Answer:
I'd say you have depression and probably comorbid anxiety as well. I'd suggest seeing a psychologist since I don't believe medicines are the answer to everything. A psychologist may be able to help you explore your thoughts further and you may be able to understand what it is that is making you tense and worried. Make sure that you see a psychologist who employs cognitive-behaviour therapy since that has been supported by research as being effective. The psychologist can help you challenge the thoughts you are having which are most probably making you feel that way you are since our thoughts lead to our feelings which in turn lead to behaviours. Targetting these thoughts would be the key in the intervention.
Good luck!!
you could be sufffering panic/anxiety and or deppression the only thing to get you out of these are medication see your doctor to put you on some tranqulizers they dont make you sleep they just help you relax
You should definitely see a doctor! You could have something like Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It makes you feel anxious and tense and then you can become depressed because of your anxiety. It could be tons of other things too though. I know it can be hard when you are feeling so down to do something about it, but try to get in to see your primary care physician or a psychologist.
it sounds to me like depression with anxiety see a doc
with the execrcise do meditation, %26 do the hobby with which you can sharpen your power %26 get relaxtation.
u must see a psychiatrist. depression needs treatment.
Take Bach Flower Remedies' - Rescue Remedy mother tincture - 2 drops on the tongue twice a day for a month. You will be fine.
have you seen the roses.how beautiful it is.but just below it there are thorns,but rose doesn,t worry for it.just it keep on beautifing the world.
Wory drains the mind much of its power and sooner or later it injures the soul.donot worry think positive, act positive,live positive and keep smiling.try to look your life differently.you are here to do something new..

Hi, everyone. I have a question about my depression?
I've been on Welbutrin since late December and it's done squat for me. I'm thinking that if it hasn't worked yet, it's not going to work because I started out taking it once a day. Now, I'm supposed to take it 3 times a day which I don't because in the morning, I'm groggy enough and I don't think about it. Anyway, even if I did take it 3 times a day, I highly, HIGHLY doubt it would kick in.
The next time I meet up with my doctor is on May 20th. I'm going to tell her that I need something else.
What do you guys think?
P.S. When I was on Lexapro for a couple of days in 2005, that stuff kicked in within a week. I remember it well. I was happier then. Maybe I'll mention that too because I really need something...
Answer:
I was also on Wellbutrin with no success. I am now on Cymbalta and doing fine. I still get a bit down at times, but that's okay with me as I find that to be more normal than not. I don't want to be the happy village idiot. I want to feel lifes ups and its downs. Good luck. Depression is very painful and no one really knows unless they have it.
Just need to try a different antidepressant.
Studies show some work better on some people, and often the second one you try works best.
Man I hope it works out. Just talk to your dr its the best way to go, or maybe 3 or 4, but dont ask here half these twits wouldnt know if there **** was on backwards.
I do not understand why you are still no this med if its not helping you the doctor should change it. you are right there is no point taking something that is not helping you feel any better. Try a different one there is many out there so lots of choice to help you. good luck and hope it goes well with your doctor.
i am not very experienced with this, but ur idea seems like a good one... ur docs will know the best coarse of action that should be taken.
See http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on page 2.
You need to find one that works as soon as possible. The first question is do you have chronic depression or is this the first time you have had it. The time i had it i brought it on myself and i made a few life changes and have not suffered since. If yours is chronic see someone fast. Good Luck Buddy hope you get better.
Years ago I was on effexor for 6 months and it worked wonders. But every med works differently on people so you really need to find one that works for you.
I really hope you are having counselling as well, without dealing with the issues, the tablets will to squat other than numb you for a while or give you a high. Work through what it is that's causing the depression, use the meds as help. I'm sure you are aware that many meds can be addictive and you need to wean yourself off them slowly, otherwise the symptoms can return quickly.
Good luck..
Some anti-depressants take weeks, even a couple of months to start working. The fact that you aren't taking it as prescribed isn't helping at all. Since you are not happy with the drug regimen (taking it 3 times a day and all that), you should definitely talk to your doctor about it. Its not going to work if you don't take it properly.
Ask about Zoloft. You can start on 50mg then go up to 100mg %26 then 150mg if you need to but, you only take it once a day with minimal side effects, if any. You WONT feel groggy!
I take Lexapro also. It works the best with me and un like some anti-depresents if you forget to take your Lexapro it doesn't bother you. You do need to mention to your doctor that you took Lexapro in the past and that it helped. Because I took Effexor and it didn't work any and I told me doctor so he put me on Lexapro. So don't be afraid to tell your doctor. Because if the Welbutrin isn't working you need another medicine then.

Hi guys Im just another 18 year old thats going threw depression any one know how to get rid of it?
Like I said before im depressed and im sick of it im a senior in high school and I just dont know what to do with my self what career to chose and its just hard to choose something when your in depression you feel like crap dont want to do anything you have thoughts that make you not worth living. Deep down inside me depression is tough hits you hard it drains every happieness you have inside, you just want to sit on a sofa untill you just slowly slip away from life, I hate it its like draining your soul out of you enough about how I feel dont worry im not the type of person that would go out and do something crazy so no comments please about that. Now Im really good in computers I was thinking Network Systems Administrator but my mom isnt too happy about that decision now I know its my decision not hers but also I wanted to go for Doctor of Physical Therapy with my brain and stupid depression I dont know if thats going to happen If you have an answer plz tell me on what I should do
Answer:
What's wrong with Network Systems Administrator? They can make a ton of money. The government pays contractors 100k plus. In private industry even more. That profession is booming and gonna continue for years to come as our society grows more and more dependent on computers.
Start getting out with friends, visit family. Don't withdrawal worrying about your ills. Get a hobby, offer to help at a local network provider. Depending on your resources try to visit a psychologist or psychiatrist or school counseling. Just keep up the battle.
I think that you should talk to a therapist. Maybe get on anti depressants, also. But if you don't want to take medicine, at least go talk to someone. It will make you feel better. And you don't have to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life right now. You can go to college and take general classes until you figure out what will make you happy. Good luck :)
HEY=get out of that slump you are in=it's your life and you can become whatever you want to be=as long as it provides enough cash to meet your needs and it makes YOU happy=go for it
I've been there and can sympathize. I'm in my twenties now and my depression comes and goes. I did take Zoloft for a while and it helped - but I'd rather deal on my own. Now, if you feel like your depression is situational, meds might not be a good choice. Either way - talk to someone, preferably a professional. The other thing that helps me is to write. Get it off your chest. Healthy foods and exercise can also make a big difference, but I know how impossible it feels to exercise when you can hardly get out of bed and drag your limbs through another day. You're not alone! Good luck to you...
(and as for a career - choose a general field that interests you and don't commit to one thing yet. Take a variety of classes in college and see what works the best for you)
you poor thing, wish i could help out, i think you need to talk to a professional, i kinda of know what you mean, suffering from depression like that feels like a downward spiral, try to not let it get out of control, i was feeling really low and so bored i was always feeling tearful, i know it sounds mad but ANSWERS has given me something to do in the evenings. may be you should see a doctor for anti depressants.
you follow what ever carer you want, you have got to do what makes you happy, your mum should wish the same for you.
take care xx
I felt like that once, then I joined a gang, got covered in tattoos, got stabbed twice and shot once, and finally learned my lesson. I cant go anywhere anymore, I had to move and start a new life, and it sucked. Now I go to university for BSc and work as a draftsman on the side, and life is alright. I say get a bacholor degree, in anything! IT doesnt matter, because once you get one, its easy to get another and you can pretty much do whatever you want. But dont be depressed, be happy you have a home to live in, and be happy your getting an education. Upgrading isnt cheap.
To help with your depression volunteer your time at your local Senior Citizen Center. Once you start getting involved with people who are much older than you and see how they are coping with
what life has thrown at them you will start feeling better about yourself. If you are interested in
physical therapy then you might want to consider
geriatric therapy. You could talk with any P.T.'s
working at the center. Stop focusing on yourself all the time and try and see the bigger picture.
Begin each day with," Hey, I'm alive!"
It is common for guys your age to go through a period of depression. I, myself have an 18 yr old who's going through the same thing. I mean,look, you're still at the period where you're trying to define who you are and I'm sure you're having thoughts and thinking that you're perverse or something.You should talk with your mom to set up an appointment to see a counselor. It's important to have someone to talk to to figure out why you're going through this depression.
