Why are people sad?

maybe they are lonely and want to have friends and family around them or just want to spend time with other people or meet new people

Ok let me analyze this from some another point. Is it not because of desires people are sad. For example, someone has got a desire of buying a new pen. But when he queried for it the price was huge and he can't afford that. Then he will go into a mood of sadness, because there starts an actually unwanted thought process. Thoughts like since I am not rich, since I am not able to get a good job, since I am not lovable to God like that. I think this is what triggers the sadness.

Why do you get angry over little things and think everyone has it in for you do you have bipolar?

Check with your doctor on that, but my guess is that you are too stressed out, take a vacation. If you tend to listen to a lot of loud music or play intense video games, try taking a break for a while. Maybe listen to quieter music and play games that don't concentrate as much on your speed as your ability to think through different situations. Different studies have been shown that certain types of video games and music tend to lead to tenseness and nervousness.

If you have suffered anxiety and depression and taken lexapro with Wellbutrin later to help with the depression what were your results?

I had side effects , i started putting on weight, and did not get a permenant cure but i got this blog which really helped me to cure the panic attack http://trainyourmind.blogspot.com

-------------------- I have been on lexapro 20mg and wellbutrin 150mg for about 6 months for depression and anxiety. Mixing these two has helped me with both mood and lack of attention/energy in my case. My impression is that Lexapro works pretty well with mood and anxiety, and wellbutrin helps attention, energy, sex drive, and concentration. So there are other symptoms like fatigue and lack of motivation left, but we know that anti-depressants don't attack all depressive symptoms.

What point is life in a doomed universe?

Who says the universe is doomed? It is only 13.7 billion years old and is probably far less than half-way through its life.

The point of life is to add meaning to your own life, not worry about how long the universe will last. Adding meaning to your life means enjoying it: enjoying music, friendships, holidays, even the work that you do. It means leaving the world a better place for your passing. Try it.

Can sulfa drugs help relieve depression?

Unlikely.

Sulfa drugs are an old (i.e. before penicillin) type of antibiotic, not an antidepressant.

Which depression drugs have been recalled?

"Many depression dugs have been recalled due to the discovery that taking them during pregnancy can cause birth defects to your unborn baby. Some that have been recalled are Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft."

Is asperger and bipolar linked?

No, not necessarily. They are two very different conditions. Of course, some people with Asperger's (which is a high-functioning version of autism) can be bipolar, but most of the research I have seen about autism, and about Asperger's, does not link either condition with bipolar disorder. There has been some research that shows a correlation between certain people who have autism and some who have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder); but there again, there is no definite link between the two, and someone who has the one may not necessarily have the other.

How can insanity affect a person?

Majorly. Imagine not being able to grasp reality, and living in a constant dream/nightmare state. You can't tell whats real and not, and normally you start to live in your dream state and forsake reality.

How do you know if a number is sad or happy?

If the numbers go in a loop, keep going on forever, than it is a happy number but if it stops at a 1 like 1 , 10, 100, 1000 so on than it is a sad number E.G

39 - 90 - 81 - 65 - 61 - 37 - 58 - 89 - 145 - 42 - 20 - 4 - 16 - 37 - 58 this is a happy number because it would keep going in a loop as you can see there is 58 twice.

explanation from James Norman Coventry!

What do you do if you're miserable beyond belief and you just wish you could die?

If you are having these feelings on a regular basis you should find someone professional to talk to. Families are great (at least most of them) as well as friends, but they can't be objective the way a professional can and didn't go to school for years to do the job of helping you sort out where the trouble is. You may be feeling this way for a lot of reasons. Situations, like friends, work, romance, school and such which will change over time can be helped by learning coping skills from a counselor or therapist. Biological causes such as a hormone imbalance, lack of sleep or exercise, drug use, can be helped by consulting with a doctor. Emotional problems such as low self esteem, racing thoughts, obsessive thinking, lack of motivation etc. can be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain or poor self image, and can be helped by a therapist or a psychiatrist. The main thing is to know that feeling this way is a sign that something isn't working and it can be made better with the right kind of help. It may take time and some shopping around for the right answer for you, but you will feel better eventually and you are worth the effort.
