Depression and Bipolar Disorder

depression glass was made during the Great Depression of the 1930s and is a kind of cheaply manufactured pressed glass. Usually it is some kind of tableware such as drinking glasses, butter dishes, candle holders, salad bowls, plates, etc. A lot of it was given away as promotional items. Much depression glass contains Uranium and hence it is called "Uranium glass" (not very imaginative, I know) and it will glow under a black light (UV).

Depression glass is very collectable.

they are long lasting and interfere with daily functioning.

If your having trouble deciding who or how to ask for help with depression, Try calling a crisis line. You can call one that is local or national. remain anonymous if you want. And the person talking to you will be trained on how to answer these questions and help. If you ask somebody who is not trained. And your depression is severe, it may not help or even make the situation worse.

Both suicide and self-harming are ways that people deal with anxiety and depression. They are not healthy ways of dealing. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Speaking as someone who has been at the point of trying it, I can assure you that you will look back and wonder why you were so upset, if only you hang on and don't kill yourself. The best way to deal with this sort of severe depression and hopelessness is to get professional help. Therapy can work wonders with depression and anxiety. You might also need antidepressant medication - it is not habit-forming and most of the newer medicines have fewer side effects. Self-harming seems to be a way to control anxiety. It makes you feel as if you are dealing with the problem. The truth is, you are just switching one anxiety for another. You quickly become addicted to harming yourself, and if you get into a situation where you cannot do it, you get hysterical. Self-harming does not work. Self-harming is related to eating disorders like anorexia and bulemia. It is an unhealthy response. Therapy will help you to change those unhealthy responses and learn healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety.

I'm not a mental health professional but I would say no to your question. I DO think that popular teens are in for a shock in the real world after high school because the real world is not at all like high school. The real world doesn't care if you were class president or the varsity quarterback or head cheerleader. And it must come as some surprise. After I graduated from high school I kept running into former classmates who had been "too good" to speak to me in high school. The popular kids. And boy did they change! I could tell they had to make a serious adjustment into the world of real people!

This condition is now called DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Too many people were thinking of it as one of the Axis Two personality disorders. DID is an Axis One condition.

DID is caused by violent and prolonged trauma in early childhood, usually including rape, incestuous or otherwise. People who are able to dissociate create alternate selves to take the abuse and trauma. Over time, these selves develop personality patterns (and sometimes personality disorders!) of their own.

It is possible to integrate these parts together with therapy, but it requires an excellent therapist who is able to deal with hearing descriptions of horrible abuse. Many are not able to do this. The abuse experienced by DID survivors is far outside the usual, and some people aren't strong enough to let themselves admit such abuse of children can even happen in America. But it can; the evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible.

The insensitivity shown to these people is often appalling -- and widespread -- at mental health clinics all over the country.

Many people with DID pick up ten or a dozen incorrect diagnoses -- including of ASPD (antisocial personality disorder) -- before finally being correctly diagnosed, and it's true that repeatedly being bitterly accused of inventing the abuse is another form of abuse on top of and compounding the original.

More people need to be educated about the devastation caused by pedophiles and other child abusers so as to prevent this affliction and others like it.

All people with DID also have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).

Yes, especially when it is accompanied by insomnia.

It could be anything like an argument, financial problems, sad movie, a song. Anything in your environment can cause it. My number one trigger... stress.

Try homemade remedies such as putting on a honey mask every night to get rid of scarring.

Yes. Just because a person is mentally unstable doesn't mean they are incapable of 'normal' emotions.

Yes you can. You need to get your doctor to give you a letter stating that you require medical leave. Your employer does not need to know the specific reason.

The maximum amount of sick benefit time you can receive from EI is 15 weeks. However, you must request that your doctor specify this amount of time. Depending on the policies of your workplace, you can return to work before the end of the 15 weeks if you choose.

Of course that's not normal, how often do you walk down the street and see every person with gash marks on their arms? Cutting is usually a way to distract from emotional pain your feeling...face that emotional pain, figure it out, help it...then ta da! The feeling the need to cut will go away.

Some have rage, most don't.

I have bipolar and my untreated episode (which lasted over a year) had no rage at all. The first third was about the most enjoyable time in my life, the second third was frightening as I went into a manic psychosis and was hearing voices, the final third was a significantly disabling depression.

Most all female vaginas can accommodate almost any size of a male's penis, all except the very rare large ones over 8" long. As long as it feels good and you do not experience any pain, there is no reason for you to worry about it.

Norepinephrine is a hormone found in the nervous system. It helps to transmit signals along the nerve cells. Scientists have found that in depression, there are often lower levels of this chemical, which would explain the feeling of "slowing down" that you have when you are depressed. Your brain cells really are slowing down because there is not enough transmitter chemical to help them pass thoughts and messages along. In mania, the opposite mood to depression, you see an excess of this chemical, which explains the "speeding up" effect.

Certainly! We will help you as much as we can. Why not start by reading some relevant pages. I have added them further down this page, listed under Related Questions. In addition, please feel free to ask as many questions as you like relating to weight, weight loss, your thoughts or feelings, and your own particular situation. For example, are you a child who wants to lose weight or an adult who wants to lose weight and are you physically able to exercise or not? Then we can work on some plans for a good start and a happier brighter future.

They act bipolar...hello its the same disease no matter what sign you are

There is no such things having too much or too little GABA in the synaptic space. The GABA is either positively or negatively charged. GABA acts at inhibitory synapses by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes. This binding causes the opening of ion channels to allow the flow of either negatively charged chloride ions into the cell or positively charged potassium ions out of the cell. This action can result in a negative change in the transmembrane potential, usually causing hyperpolarization.

Yes you do need to apologize to your parents and your parents and you need to communicate to each other. Sit down with your parents and explain to them you feel confused and depressed. 13 is a tender age and many teens can feel the way you do and it's normal. However, you need to let your parents know what is going through your mind and how you feel so they can help you. If you're parents didn't want you talking to a certain boy then they have good reason and you should listen to them. They are wiser than you and really love you and want to protect you. You aren't expected to know everything at 13 years old and you have great parents because they care enough to protect you and keep you out of trouble. Have that talk with them and tell them how you feel. You can NEVER disappoint your parents enough for them to ever stop loving you. They are hard on you because they want you safe and sound, so don't think they are the monsters in this case. You are going to have to start earning their trust again. If they tell you that you can't see a certain boy or a girlfriend then be up front and ask your parents why. They owe you an explanation. It's a two way street.

No they will tell you what to do in order to become happy, or what medicine to take. Many people are depressed and you are not an odd one out.

Insanity is a legal term and concept, not a medical one. It means a person was unable to tell right from wrong when they did a crime. It means he is admitting to doing the crime as charged, but is not guilty because at that moment he did not know doing it was wrong.

Mental disorder is a medical term and concept, not a legal one.
