Hi! I am so sorry you have to go through this with your brother. Two weeks ago I took my brother to rehab and the whole weekend leading up to it was so draining and very difficult emotionally. He wanted to go to rehab and really wants help so I cannot imagine what you and your family have been...

So I just wanted to give everyone an update. First of all thank you so much for everyone who has and still is praying for my brother. He has been in rehab for two weeks now and he is doing so well. He says that he has built up an amazing faith there and he has learned so much. There is a...

Hey! I'm married and I went through a severe depression from June to October. The best thing to do is to be as open and honest as you possibly can about how you are feeling. Also I would definitely reccomend asking your primary care physician to refer you to a psych doctor because it won't help...

Gentle Heart- Thank you so so much! I printed off the verses and I am going to give them to him tomorrow when I go see him.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. Everything has gone so well for him these past few days. God has put everything into place for him to get treatment. I took him to a rehabilitation facility today that (praise God) is faith based. His wife is very supportive and everything has happened...

If anyone would I would deeply appreciate it if you would pray for my brother. His name is Daniel and he is struggling with a drug addiction. He wants help but he feels so very helpless and he is very depressed and scared that his wife will leave him when she finds out that he has gone back to...

Hey! I know the feeling of living from minute to minute. My Dad has anxiety problems and his advice to me on this issue was to give myself victories rather then focus on how much of a struggle the day can be. I know this is easier said then done but when I am having a hard time lets say when I...

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. Anxiety can do some pretty scary stuff to you and it is difficult to be at work and have to deal with the anxiety while at the same time trying to act as if everything is ok. It would be sooooo helpful if you were able to talk to someone...

I am so sorry you are hurting and I really will pray for you! Depression is terrible and to me it feels like a hole that I just can't quite climb out of. There are days that I too feel like death seems like a better alternative but then I have moments of "light" (as I like to call them) that...

Sometimes panic attacks can iterally ocur out of the blue and there may be nothing at all that triggered the attack. Most people believe that there is always some stimulus for a panic attack while others believe that it may just be because of some physiologic imbalance. Identifying what, if...

Hi! I too have OCD and have had obsessions about doing things in order to prevent other things from happening. The fear is sooooo real and it causes me so much anxiety. I am so sorry that you are hurting! I really do understand the pain/confusion/frustration that comes with OCD. What is so...

My therapist thinks that I should give Luvox a try. I have been on Lexapro and effexor (at different times since April) and I did not like the way they made me feel and I believe that the effexor actually made me feel extremely numba nd depressed so I am worried about this Luvox he wants me to...

I so know how you feel and I am deeply sorry that you have to endure any suffering. It is difficult to take things one day at a time and sometimes so frustrating. I too want to get back to the person that I once was, that happy person who had her whole life ahead of her with everything "planned...
