Antisocial personality disorder
Posted Tuesday June 24 2008, 1:37 am
Does anyone feel emotionally numb?
I can't feel...not happiness, not sadness, not remorse. I don't care about anyone or anything. I am manipulative and i find myself just using people. I need to know if there is anyone else like me.

I'm socially inept
Posted Wednesday June 18 2008, 10:25 pm
I can't talk on the phone without shaking or driving myself nuts beforehand. I can't communicate with people without sweating or anxiety attacks..it takes me about 15 minutes to work up a hello in a social situation...and when someone doesn't reply or acknowledge it, the awkwardness fills me up and tears me up. I cry a lot over this. Hysterically. I can't be left by myself in any social situations. Usually, I'd have my dad or mom walk with me, get me into programs, register me, talk with my teachers, etc. I've been raised like that for the past 10 years now. I'm in this comfort zone and when I'm tossed out there in the real world, I can't project my voice, I can't go a day without someone going "aww, she's so shy," I can't go a da...

Lithium and Depoke....
Posted Wednesday June 18 2008, 9:56 am
Okay,
I take Lithium and Depoke. (Lithium being an anti-depressant) I often go on and off my medication. I was off my medication for a few months and I just recently started taking them again but the night I took my medication I was fine. However the following morning I woke up in a pool of sweat, dizzy, my heart was racing and I threw up five times. I started to take my medication on a low dose too. Does anyone know why I might have exsperienced these symptoms and why I was so sick?

Anyone with Attention Deficit Disorder
Posted Tuesday June 17 2008, 11:47 pm
I'm 16/f and I'm finally realizing now that I think I may have ADD. I've had trouble focusing my entire life and now it's worse than ever. I plan to ask my doctor about it. Can you tell me what your own experiences with ADD are so I can see if I can match them up with any of my own? Also, for anyone who has been on medication for it, how has it changed you or made the problems better? Thank you!

depression?
Posted Sunday June 15 2008, 7:36 pm
okay, so the last two years i have become more miserable-between family and friends, but, this year it has reached a new extreme. ive tried cutting and purging, running, boxing, but nothing helps. i just feel this emptiness. Sometimes, life isnt even that bad, but for some reason i feel the need to be sad. i dont have energy or desire to to do the things i used to do, and i just dont care. i suffer from anxiety attacks and im not even sure how to handle them, how do i make them go away? somtimes i just break down and cry, and i just want to go away, i just feel like i dont fit in.
