Open Question: What's wrong with me?
I have been on and off medication for depression and anxiety for just under two years, since i had my son. But i don't know if that's what's wrong with me. Just now im on 50mg trazdone a day.
I felt like this before my son was born but it had got a lot worse since. Which makes me feel so guilty because he's a blessing. I get days when i don't feel as bad but most days i just feel like crying the whole day and i get shaky. There's even some days i can't leave the house and i'm finding that i'm sleeping a lot less than before. I work as well but i can't stand it i feel like someones standing on my chest when im in work and again i feel like crying the entire shift. i'm taking bad mood swings and i get the feeling that i need to vomit. i also find myself hurting myself when no one is around. I just can't stand being alive anymore and i absolutely despise myself and find that being in contact with other people makes me feel scared and angry. I don't want my son growing up with me like this even though he's perfectly taken care of by me and his dad. But feeling like this makes me so guilty.
I really don't understand why im like this and wonder if anyone else feels like this or has any idea why?
Thank you in advance.

Open Question: Every Problem Makes My Emotions Go Wild and Feels Like a Big Deal?
Even if the problem is small and most people don't worry too much about it, too me it just feels like I've screwed up everything and I have a melt down inside. I know it's probably hormones since I'm a 16 year old girl, but it's like I mess up in the slightest way and I suddenly hate myself. I feel in rage, but my chest hurts and I feel horribly sad, sometimes I will go from rage to laughing to sadness to helplessness all in less than ten minutes. I'll be happy and fine one minute, but I make a mistake and suddenly I'm burning myself or beating the crap out of myself. I am scared of myself sometimes, sometimes I refuse to move because I know if I do I'm going to cause a lot of pain to myself - I can't handle going off every couple hours.
Why am I like this? Is it just hormones?
Thanks so much

Open Question: Do I have postpartum depression?
Do I have postpartum depression?
Do I have postpartum depression?
My baby is now 7 weeks old. I'm pretty sure I started out with baby blues. It was pretty overwhelming at first. I remember my boyfriend and I going out for coffee about a week after he was born and I broke down. It was hard.
Now, I feel like I'm lonely, I feel like I'm constantly fighting with my boyfriend-i snap over every little thing. I feel like our relationship has changed the most. Because of this, I constantly find myself crying. I feel very bored and always need something to look forward to.
I love my son so much and don't have the symptoms of postpartum which include thinking of harming your baby or yourself.
Any ideas on what I'm going through?

Open Question: When does someone need hospitalisation for depression?
Besides suicidal or homicidal thoughts? I know they have to be a danger to themselves, other than suicidal and homicidal thoughts how else would a person with depression put themselves in danger?

Open Question: Help me with this? Self harm and parental issues?
Yes...I cut myself.
And please don't tell me that's it's bad and stuff...because I've already been told millions of times.
I've been cutting myself for the past 7 years. From 4th grade.
My parents recently just few months back found cuts on my arms.
They screamed at me...legit. Screamed. Told me if they found me doing it again they would cut me themselves and stuff like that. After that they've always been suspicious and stuff like that.
They say that I do everything for sympathy and stuff. They say that I probably take pictures of all my cuts and upload it on facebook. What sort of pervert do they think I am? That's just sick.
No one knows I cut myself. I try not to tell anyone. People have always believed my lies but my parents don't. They say they know the difference between cuts and wounds as they are doctors. And crap like that.
But they're always screaming at me. They always crush my dreams. They say that they hate what I've become and my mom always says that she wishes she never met my dad and having this family is the worst mistake she's ever done. They keep on calling me useless and good for nothing and one 'B' in my report card..they go spastic. My dad says he gave up on me a long time ago and that he doesn't care what I do now. But if I don't do anything that gives me two meals worth a day in the future he's going to me married.
My parents are Indian and it's normal in Indian families to hit their children. It's not child abuse but Indian families do hit their children.
My parents hit me even when I do something silly such as 'back answer' them. They're really strict.
But it's not that I don't try.
I clean the house , I wash the dishes....and more but they say I don't do anything and I'm a selfish person. It's because my mom has this Exam coming up this huge dentistry shit thing in like a month and I try helping her but she screams at me even more. I don't even go out with my friends anymore...I've stopped. I've started becoming anti-social because I don't even want friends anymore.
And my parents find me cutting myself they keep on screaming and tell me how selfish I am and bla bla bla.
Also I really need to find places where I can cut myself without getting noticed because I live in Australia and it gets really hot here......Don't judge me. Please.
I really need some help with this and music and cutting myself takes just releases all the pain from my body.
Also please tell me how to hide them and some excuses?
My parents are really nice too though. They are really funny and let me join any classes though...if I want.
But my mom has this Exam coming up and crap.
But I'm not close to them and they get really angry at me. It's like they're more angry then happy all the time and I'm not close to them at all.
I keep on losing friends and I keep on getting racist comments about my nationality in school. I have a bit of an accent and my friends say they don't mean saying stuff like 'Indian are illiterate and can't speak English' or asking me questions like 'Do you live in the slums too? Have your parents illegally come to Australia?'. They say they're only joking but they keep on saying stuff like this and it hurts so much. People keep on calling me 'terrorist' even though terrorists don't even come from India.
I hate people at the moment and I find myself extremely ugly. So ugly that I've stopped looking in mirrors completely. I avoi
avoid* them because I start crying the moment I see myself. People also judge me on the music I listen to such as hard rock, emo, punk, screamo, heaby metal stuff. It's like I can't get enough.

Open Question: Should I ask for my girlfriend to be hospitalised?
If you need more information please read the last question on this account I wrote. I am Carys' boyfriend Tom and I am seriously worried about my borderline girlfriend.
She has been depressed the past week. She has not left bed, only to use the toilet if she really has to. She has not eaten a meal since Sunday, she is barely drinking as well. She has not changed her clothes since Sunday, not showered, washed her hair in a week. She barely talks, she just sleeps all day or cried or stares for ages. She has just abandoned herself.
I have no idea if she needs hospitalisation. She has suicidal thoughts but she says she doesn't even have the energy to do it. But she isn't eating or drinking or washing herself.
I am going to ring for some help tomorrow. I am at my wits end because I myself cannot look after her anymore. I am her carer and I always look after her but I can't anymore. How do I make the mental health services understand my poor girlfriend?! She needs some help, someone who can care for her.

This is homework for psychology class.
What effect does physical abuse at the hands of their father (being beaten and watching their mother be beaten) and emotional abuse from the father against a boy, for 4 years between the ages of 11-15 do to them later in their life?
The father in this case is violent, aggressive, takes drugs and gambles a lot.

Open Question: killing self methods?
Basically I'm in my 30s and for mental health reasons cant cope anymore. I have no friends or family but do have a crisis team trying to help, but they can't i just want to die and the only reason I didn't kill myself before today is cos of my dog
This isn't for attention-I just cant cope and have no one to talk to
This is because I want advice. Is there a quick way of dying? I have already sorted things for my dog if i do kill myself, but if i do which is the best way?
Pills don't work and were taken away. I understand this might be distressing for some but for those that have the information which is the best way to kill yourself painlessly?
And I ask on here as I can't find pro suicide sites, they were blocked.
Didnt realise anyone who answered could get banned
