Yes, you need to talk to someone about your condition.

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. \nAfter mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. \nThe monsignor replied, “When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.” \nSo next Sunday he took the monsignor’s advice. \nAt the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. \nHe proceeded to talk up a storm. \nUpon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door: \n\n\n\n1)Sip the vodka, don’t gulp. \n2)There are 10 commandments, not 12. \n3)There are 12 disciples, not 10. \n4)Jesus was consecrated, not constipated. \n5)Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass. \n6)We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C. \n7)The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook. \n8)David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him. \n9)When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don’t say he was stoned off his ass. \n10)We do not refer to the cross as the “Big T.” \n11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, “Take this and eat it for it is my body.” He did not say “Eat me”. \n12)The Virgin Mary is not called “Mary with the Cherry”. \n13)The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God. \n14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST. Peter’s not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy’s.

Call the faciity where you think he is.  They should be able to at least tell you if he is still there. Do you have any family? friends? neighbors? who may be able to assist you?  Are you able to call your local crisis line?  Your place of worship?  Local authorities?  Do you have anyone who attends you regularly?  In your condition, you need local resources!  If all else fails, call 911.

I am a counsellor. The tough part is getting in door. If you're harming yourself, then realizing that something is wrong, and not letting it defeat you is important. Now is the time to protect your future. So good job beginning the process of taking out the garbage that's been piling up. Give whoever you chose a few times to earn your trust. You feeling safe is the critical issue. Ask about confidentiality limits. The best part about seeing a counsellor is they have a way of seeing over your obsticles and safely guiding you. Think of it as a big log across your path. You just need some help clearing the way so you can get on with the path your life was meant to take. If you have choice and it's not someone chosen for you by social services, then meet a couple and decide. My experience is that a cognitive behavioural therapist may be most benefical. Look for someone with experience dealing with youth. Good luck.

Just be honest with him and talk about your symptoms and /or feelings that you think are creating your depression.  I wouldn't go as far as leaning on him to help "cure" you, but hopefully he will be there for you while you take that on yourself.  If you are unable to conquer this on your own, please seek some outside professional help.

I go to a hypno-psychotherapist. It helps to have someone to talk to without being judged and getting help in relaxing. Then I de-stress through a hobby, sewing. When I am just about to explode, I drop everything and sit on my sewing chair and turn on the machine. Think also of If they are close by maybe you can call them for coffee or something.

I also suffer with some of the same problems as you.Don't be afraid to go to the specialist. Let him know about your anxiety disorder. If you are still frightened,ask a close friend to go with you to the doctors. It is important to make an appointment as soon as you can, and you will get all the answers from the doctors. Good luck!

Try to get in touch with yourself spiritually and take a time-out. Do something you enjoy and remove yourself from the tension. I know it's easier said than done but it's worth your sanity! **Sending you strength**

Yes. Go to the closest Psychiatric Emergency Service, they will be able to help you. I am sure you have very serious reasons to consider that, but it would be best to talk to a professional about that. You'd surprised how much they can help.

You seem to KNOW a lot about THIS person, who sounds quite troubled and in pain. IF THIS person IS YOU, then I'd say that you know the way back through repentance. Read the parable of The Prodigal Son and learn from it.\n\nIf this is ANOTHER PERSON, let's not judge and move on...\n\nPeace be with you!

Please go to your church, even if you are not a member and talk to the pastor, priest whatever.\nYou need some spiritual guidance and you need to have your bruised soul and spirit healed. \nI think if you hang around with someone with a questionable past, you can get drawn down into his stuff... You are better off without a boyfriend at this point in your life.\nIf your mother wants you gone, I wonder what happened to bring her to this point. Mothers defend their children to the death in most cases. What has happened?????\nIf you are at a  point of trying suicide, it tells me you are looking for attention and recognition that you are not getting . There is a sibling rivalry between you and your sister... that is a total other thing that needs to be worked on.\nMY concern would be to get my mental health back to normal. You need help from people who will ask nothing of you other than your faith. It doesn't cost anything to reach out ,even if you are not a religious person, it doesn't matter. Your life is far too important to throw away and so are you. Whether you or your mom get along is not the problem at hand.\nIf she wants you out, you need to go to social assistance and get a place for you to stay..If you are under 16 you are a minor, perhaps a foster family could take you or an aunt. Someone who is strong, and can handle what is going on with you in your life and someone who won't take any guff from you.... You need love and support and you need to get real. Step up and begin your transformation, there is so much for you to do in your life, take hold and take the first step by getting help.....Poetry is a wonderful way to express your feelings, but in this case you need a good person to talk to ....

Talk to your doctor if you want professional help.  It sounds like things are functioning the way they should, so asside from potential psychological problems, you're probably still good to go.

One, you should never be trying to minister to someone on your own strength.  You will always feel 'drained' because that's really not how God intended us to do things.  Always rely on God's strength for things like this.  \n\nTwo, finding an less-than-lovable person hard to love has nothing to do with the Spirit's convictions.  It's human nature.  You may need to work actively to overcome this if God has called you into fellowship with this person.\n\nThree, if this person is trying to get you to talk about, think about, or do things that do not honor God and His ways, you have two choices.  If you can't change the direction of the conversation / relationship / fellowship to something that is honoring to God, then you need to drop it.  Stop hanging out with this person if he or she refuses to abandon the behavior or conversation topics that are not to God's liking.  You belong to Him now, you know.  He gets to decide with whom you hang out and such.  Let Him make this choice.\n\nFour, if you feel 'spiritually drained' after spending time with this person, you need to follow these visits with personal prayer time to get your spiritual self back on track afterwards.  God often does call us to be with people who 'drain' us.  He fills you before you go so you'll have plenty of His love to share, then fills you afterwards, too, so you can keep going.  You need to go to Him and ask for this, though, even though He knows you need it.  Jesus said we are to ask God for what we need, even though He already knows.  It's a relationship thing.  God wants us to be in close relationship with Him, asking and receiving what we need from Him.\n\nFive, your lack of peace could simply come from guilt about all the things you needed to get done during that time you were fellowshipping.  Be sure to check out all the human causes of this lack of peace.  It may be something as simple as guilt over time spent in ways that don't benefit you, which comes back to selfishness, of course.  You may just need to learn to better manage your time, so you can have an hour (guilt-free) with this person who needs your time.

You need to pray for yourself everyday. Ask the Lord to give you confidence, wisdom, strength and peace for the day. Know that the person or people you are talking to are no one important. We are all the same here. We are all human beings with our imperfections, nervousness, illnesses & bathroom habits. The thing you have going for you is you have Christ on your side. So you have a leg up on those who don't. \nHow do you win more souls for Jesus? All you can do is teach his word. Proclaim your love for him. Most of all praise him openly. Offer your time to him. People think they are just bound to pay their tithes and give cash offerings to thier church. NO they aren't every Christian needs to offer their time. Even the smallest of jobs Christ blesses you for. Get involve with your churches events, if your doesn't have any events then get some going. Start helping the community. Take up collections go give sack lunches to the homeless. Get a van going to pick up and take back homeless people to and from church on Sundays. Help single parents. Through these things you will meet new people in hopes of bringing them to Christ. My church has so many things going. Our Pastor just reaches out to everyone. He's awesome!

I recently started seeing a psychiatrist, and I was scared also.  But afterward, it was ok.\nThey ask you about your history (drug/alcohol abuse, prior suicide attempts, any medical history {blood pressure, diabetes etc} and if you have ever seen a dr before and if you have what did they do for you).  Then they move on to how you are feeling right now, and how u have been feeling in the past few weeks.  If, for example in my case, you have depression, they will ask you abuot when it started to get worse, what seemed to bring it on, how often you are crying, etc.  If its anxiety, they'll ask you anxiety related questions (what makes it worse, better, how frequent its occuring, etc)\nI wouldn't be too scared.  The more scared you are, the harder it will be to wait for the appt. and the more likely you'll cancel the appt.  Just relax. They won't talk about anything that makes you terribly uncomfortable at first if u dont want to.  My dr is great.  She lets me choose the topic now that I've gone a few times.  Its nice to be able to get somethings out in the open and deal with them.  \nWish you tons of luck, hope all is well!
