Emotions are difficult

I sometimes feel like I have bipolar. I've researched it extensively and seem to have some symptoms and even recognise that I have manic and depressives periods. But in addition to that over the last few months I've noticed that I only seem to have 4 emotions that go to extremes:
Happy - where I laugh at everything and nothing bothers me (eg when... (more)

I Feel Sad a Lot.

Okay, I'm thirteen, and I always seem to be controlling how sad I really am. My mom took me to a therapist because I used to cut, but I lied to my therapist because I didn't know how to tell her therapy wasn't helping. It helped a little though since I didn't cut for a while, but I have done it twice now, and I don't know what to do about it. None... (more)

Some day is just harder than the others.

I couldn't even get up for work today, so I had to call in sick, yes, indeed I'm sick, but not the way my boss think. I ate 4 donuts and ordered lots of McDonald. At first I felt good about the food, then later the guilt came as soon as the food went cold. I tried to threw up, but all I can do is letting out some of the soda and the blood from my... (more)

Neighbor

Every day I hear my neighbor throwing up in the bathroom next to ours. been going on for a month or more. is there anything I can do? she is in her twenties and doesn't look sick and doesn't seem to be on chemotherapy, but who knows. she is not all that skinny either. but don't know if that means anything. regardless it's upsetting, poor thing.

Help?

I'm pretty sure I have bipolar - I realised today that I go through long term (eg months) periods of mania and depression. The only weird thing is that I also have shorter periods of mania and depression within these periods that often have a trigger (eg being around the guy I'm in love with can trigger mania but then later on realising I can't...

Feeling sorry for myself

There needs to be a subcategory between serious health and not so serious. If I browse and see folks with real issues I'll feel even worse. I have some sort of flu. I feel horrid. But it's the flu. You know. It'll pass. But it made me nauseaus and that triggered a panic attack (mild this time). That's one of my triggers.
I'm just so tired. Woke... (more)

Sleep paralysis

In my thirties I was addicted to valium. Valium is a tranquilizer and its very addictive. I used to have anxiety attacks and I was allowed to have this drug handy at all times.
OK it caused sleep paralysis. Your brain would be awake but you couldn't move a muscle.
These episodes had two characteristics. Youd be laying there and it would... (more)

Asthma is my downfall

I'm a retired 68 year old man who goes to my doctor regularly. I was born with asthma and while other people with the same disease can cope with it I find I cannot or cannot always cope with it.

About three times a week

About three times a week I consider killing myself . I'm on a bunch of medication to keep me balanced but they never really work.

I can't because who would take care of them?

I hate how people smell in the US

I don't know!

It sounds ridiculous but when I say "Oh I like that!" It has more of a meaning than just me. I feel as if there are parts of me that are separate people and they're all hanging around. I doubt I'm suffering from a multi-personality disorder but something's happening I can't explain. I feel myself as a person but I feel separate people with me... (more)

I lied about having cancer.

That up until this past year, I have lied and told everyone - family, friends, loved ones.. - that I had cancer.

Bulimia is ruining my Life

Food, I got addicted, last summer I lost alot of weight through swimming. I adapted a healthy diet and decided I wanted to get really skinny. I started to starve myself.

Got my Husband to start smoking

I love being a smoker. I began when I was 13 and smoke a pack and a half a day of Benson and Hedges. My husband wasn't a smoker when we met. After we got married, I thought it would be nice if he could share smokes with me, so I started coaxing him to try it. After months of no success, he finally relented. He now smokes about 7 or 8 B&Hs a day... (more)
