My unemployment is messed up, probably because of the Washington fiasco. I need to go down to the local office to make sure (they have made mistakes before) but I'm dreading it. All day I have had weakness, sweaty hands, short of breath, confusion, nausea, and walked into a doorway a few times...

I, like I'm sure many of you do, tend to live in my head alot. I just really hate socializing and the world at large so much that I just have my own fantasy world I live in where things don't suck quite as much. So I was wondering if someone took a trip in your head, what would they see you...

How many of you have a noisy brain? Meaning a brain that seems to have a bazillion thoughts and images cascading through it at all times. It makes it EXTREMELY hard for me to focus on anything. I mainly blame my ADD for it, but I wonder how much my anxiety issue play in it as well. My brain is...

Mildly depressed people may have better grip on reality than "normal" people I'm reading the book "Shadow Syndromes" by John J. Ratey, MD and Catherine Johnson, PH.D. and found an interesting paragraph: "Normal people exaggerate how competent and well liked they are. Depressed people do not...

schizoid personality disorder. I had my first appointment with a therapist today. After an hour of question I asked what was wrong with me....did I have Avoidant Personality Disorder? She said "no" because avoidants tend to want social interaction while I seem OK without it, so I probably...

I want to go to therapy. I really do. But for some reason my over stimulated mind over rides my common sense and I don't go. I get a bazillion anxiety related questions bouncing in my skull. Last night my wife said it was like I'm fading away into nonexistence. Do you think maybe I should...

I'm not suicidal at all, but I just find living to be a PITA and if given a choice would not have been born. I don't enjoy very much at all, if anything. I see no point in living, because no matter what I accomplish I will die anyway. So you spend life forging relationships and working hard...

I stopped by and saw my parents. I was talking to my dad about how I've been feeling and how I was wanting to go to therapy, and he mentioned that it runs in the family. Me: :confused: I knew my sister has anxiety problems, but he said he doesn't like people either (I was unaware) and that...

anyone else do this? I've been trying to get myself to go for two weeks now. :eek: Someone who's had it talk me into actually going and tell me what a good idea it is and how it will help.

It seems alot of time when a person is inhibited in one area, they get "gifts" somewhere else. I can read body language rather easily. It is something I only recently realized that not everyone does! But I have always been interested in human behavior and used to sit at the mall for hours and...

While researching it seems like alot of things run together. Some people get one or two, some get all. I know I have depression, ADD, and anxiety. I have read that some people get OCD and others get diagnosed with Asperger's. Who else had multiple diagnoses?

It seems the worse my anxiety gets that I develop more and more of a sensitivity to bass. My research has shown usually highly anxious types are more sensitive to high pitches, but for me it's the opposite. In fact if the bass is loud enough for long enough it can trigger a panic attack in me...

Hey guys. I've been battling my depression and anxiety for years. I have decided to get therapy alongside the medication since meds alone seem to do me no good. But I just tried contacting the local behavioral therapy center and was reminded why people annoy me. :mad: Three different calls...

My name is Rob. I am 37, married, one daughter, two step kids, and three step grandkids. I have battled depression for a dozen or so years. I have also been treated for anxiety for 4-5 years. It is also thought I may have adult ADD. Lately my anxiety has reached a point to where I have...
