What's Going On With Me?

I honestly don't know what to do. At first I thought it was depression - I mean I just wanted to end it all so badly almost everyday. But I'm thinking - maybe there's more...

Sometimes I become hyper, where I will be bouncing in my posistion feeling like I'm ready to just burst. My energy is so high, that I must do something to get rid of it. I'll be laughing at everything and ...

Can you help allay my fears of getting psychotic?

Hi,

My younger brother developed paranoid schizophrenia and was diagnosed when he was 23. I'm 30-yrs-old guy and he's now 26. I seem to have generalized anxiety. My youngest sibling has OCD. My mom is not diagnosed but is often depressed and paranoid.

I am constantly afraid of developing schizophrenia. I have read that having a sibling increases your chances to 10%. When I look at the paranoia in my mom, the OCD in the ...

Overambitious and Lacking Confidence

I keep feeling worthless no matter what I achieve, because I could always do better, because there are always people who do better, because there are always greater possibilities. Unless I change the way I think and feel, I will always feel inadequate simply because I'm not perfect. I want to be perfect. I crave to be perfect. Imperfection itself is a curse to me. But while I want to feel less inadequate, at the ...

Lack of empathitic feelings, though feeling guilty about it at the same time. Paranoid...not that anyone is out to get me, but rather just paranoid about being seen or watched. Alot of shame sexually speaking. Depression of course. Aggitation and anger but mostly keeping it inside.

Wanting to die but fighting to stay living

For years, as long as I can remember, I have been sad. As a kid, 12, I was diagnosed with 'dystymia'. I know that is more a young kid diagnosis but it is what I relate to. Financial pressure causes me to really lapse into a depression and everyday I wake up wanting to die. I have a daughter and two Grandparents that are the main reason for still being alive as I know that ...

Electrical/spiritual transfers?

Its so weird. I am usually a strict fruitarian with little appetite. After discussing nutrition with someone over the phone, when clicking the phone to off, I was thinking of hard-boiled eggs. This was about an hour ago. Eversince, I suddenly feel hungry and feel like maybe the only thing I really know is that I am going to die, which is probably the truth. The problem is that when I get like this, my ...

Dealing with cancer

I have a belief/obsession that most if not all cancer is ultimately the result of our endless abominations against nature: cooked food, cosmetics, laundry detergent, pesticides, paint, etc. The list is virtually endless. I often have a hard time coming to peace with this horrifying conclusion. I know that no matter how natural I become, I can still be struck down by cancer. There's no escape. I reflect with anger on all the years I ...

Trying to find what's wrong with me

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I couldn't find anywhere better to post it. Anyway, I'm trying to find out what exactly is wrong with me. I experience the following symptoms:

-depression: On and off; seems to be triggered by very minor things going wrong, or just not going as expected
-anxiety: Usually triggered by some other symptom, although sometimes it happens with no apparent cause
-feelings of being ...
