The brain is a weird thing. I think of brains as kind of like plants. Read a little about the DSM-IV and DSM-5. Drs. don't agree on how to treat behaviors, but they get together and create criteria for labeling types of behavior they have seen and compile those into the DSM with recommendations for ...

Hi UnicornsDontExist, The chat rooms can be great once you get a feel for who the regulars are and what time they login. I think these forums are much more supportive, but less active. I think they are good for putting your ideas out there and getting other people's reactions. The other thing I noti...

I agree that following one's interests is the path to self-knowledge and self-love. Walking my dogs gets me exercise and allows us to bond. They remind me when its time! That being said, I think that depending on how depressed you feel your order of treatment might follow the path: medication, couns...

toalewa, I've got nothing to say because I'm 59. I remember similar feelings as you when I was 16 in the 70s. My parents got divorced, I was being bullied by the gym teacher, my face was a mess. The hardest part of depression is thinking that things will get better ... that's not what depression is ...

DragonFlyErica, I am reading the third of a series of three books about the roman orator Cicero by Robert Harris. This morning I came across a quote that made me laugh: I tried to advance the Stoic argument that possessions and rank are unnecessary, given that virtue alone is sufficient for happines...

Everything ... even getting older ... becomes harder as you grow older I think. And you are right the reason is because we are quite set in our ways It's funny to watch kids at play, they do things that make no sense to us because they've never done them before. For some reason it becomes less accep...

Chris_wi, My brother's divorce went along similar lines as yours. You will have a tough row to hoe. The most important thing to do is remember the irish blessing: Allow me to Change the things I can, To Accept the things I can't, And the Wisdom to know the difference. I think the most important thin...

I hate them so much but I don't WANT to. I want to let this anger go but it's killing me. You have already done the one thing that works for me: writing on here. I remember I started to have this feeling: Eventually, at a fairly young age, I fell into a deep depression and not surprisingly was suff...

Hi Tracy, I am sorry about your accident, and its effects. I agree with nenkohai2, that the one thing that should not break is you. It sounds like you have experience that others could use ... If your life has been like mine, the time between 15 and 25 seemed to take forever, while the past 18 years...
