| As someone who has felt depression, especially to the point of wanting Suicide, I strongly disagree. Sure, at the moment I may feel that I want to take my life, but after I got treatment, I was glad I didn't. Why? Because when you feel that bad, ususally you are not thinking rationally. At the time ... |

| Hello, my name is Metalwolf and I am still relatively new here. Recently my doctor has put me on a medication to try and reduce my autistic obsessions. It is Zoloft. While I in all honesty do not want my obsessions reduced or taken away, I feel pressured by my mother to take this medication. Otherwi... |

| I don't know how much this may help, but I will let you know that with the OCD, you are not alone. But with mine, I had the type called Religiosity or Scrupulosity. That is the kind where a person is always worrying whether something they did made God angry enough where they will end up going to Hel... |

| I have a dislike for the phone also. I hate answering it, and I usually hate talking on it. When I do talk on it, sometimes I will stutter. With some people it doesn't bother me to talk on the phone with them; but unfortunately it isn't the majority of the people I talk to. |

| I do that too, especially if I don't have a prepared answer. I stutter and try to figure out what I really need to say, and what sometimes tends to come out is "Uh, um..." and so one. |

| I over-analyse too much too. Sometimes I over-analyse parts of my obsessions. I want to think about it, and try to find solutions to parts that I might have trouble with, but the problem is, during that time I really get stuck on it, and if it proves unanswerable, I can get upset. During this time t... |

Before he died, we took him to the vet for treatments, but there was really nothing they could do. He became real skinny and you could see a lot of the bones jutting out. It was like he became a ... |
