i went to a restaurant n sat on d toilet seat .,, it was a bit wet so i really sccared will i get preganant? (link)

Very unlikely, but it is possible. Sperm is alive as long as it is moist. Once it dries up, it is no longer a threat. Anytime live sperm comes in contact with the vagina there is a chance pregnancy could occur. This is a key concept to remember. Although it is extremely unlikely that a women could get pregnant from a toilet seat the possibility exists under certain conditions. There would have to be live sperm on the toilet seat, it would have to enter the woman's vagina and that woman would have to be extremely fertile.
I hope this helped and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I am in my early 40's and have been diagnosed as depressed since my late teens after my first suicide attempt. I have been to dozens of doctors and therapists and have been on most brands of anti-depressants and am on one now. I am no longer suicidal but still suffer from major depression. Also I am afraid that other mental health issues are getting out of control like anger and making bad impulsive decisions. Because of these bad and impulsive decisions, my financial and health insurance situation is bad. I know I should be seeing a therapist on a regular basis and maybe should even be hospitalized. I have no urge to hurt myself or anyone else, but I am embarassed at who I have become and can't seem to stop myself from quitting jobs, sleeping around, compulsively eating, isolating, and lashing out at the few people I still have left in my life. In my twenties I seemed more in control and had a great career and was someone I could be proud of. For the past several years I see myself as this crazy person who barely is making it through the "normal" world. Is there some way I can finally get the help I need when I don't have the money or insurance? I know I need help. (link)

I myself was diagnosed as bipolar NOS, which the symptoms are consistant with a lot of what you are describing.
The signs which would lead to a diagnosis of bipolar 2 disorder are:
One or more major depressive episodes
At least one hypomanic episode
There has never been a manic or mixed episode
Another disorder is not responsible for symptoms
Symptoms cause distress or impair functioning
Symptoms and characteristics of depression include:
Decreased energy
Weight loss or gain
Despair
Irritability
Uncontrollable crying
Symptoms and characteristics of hypomania include:
Grandiosity
Decreased need for sleep
Pressured speech
Racing thoughts
Distractibility
Tendency to engage in behavior that could have serious consequences, such as spending recklessly or inappropriate sexual encounters
Excess energy
If you are interested in possibly getting a diagnosis, here is one website you can read about testing and how it is diagnosed.

I know with my bipolar disorder, I am more manic rather than depressed. I tend to be very impulsive and I am horrible at saving money. I am very self centered (such as only caring about what happens to me and not worrying about others wellfare in certain situations). I tend to flip out at the flip of a coin.
The longer you go undiagnosed and/or unmedicated the more out of control or out of whack the chemical balance in the brain gets.
Depression is also a side disorder that is commonly associated with bipolar.
If you have any other question's don't hesitate to ask.
