Is anyone normal. It seems that once you hit 25 or 30...?

Question

...everyone has anxiety, depression, ocd, or some other "issue"

Answer 1

Doctors throw out pills to make money, these issues have been around since before there will "magic" pills.  And when you get to be that age you start to mature and all the stuff that has happened starts to hit you. Its how you deal with it.  Face it most people have gone through a lot by that age.  Doctors throw pills at you, parents tell you get over it, therapists tell you to love yourself.  But hopefully you will find a strong enough woman who can deal with her past and is focused on the future!  

Answer 2

Totally unnatural lifestyles tend to do that to you.

Answer 3

most women, meaning "girls" are just so weak, they cry for freaken everything.  They just get hurt by anything very easily, tough luck, They were born into a cruel world.  By the way i think i have depression(i dont know why) and im 19!! god why did i have to be premature on that field!! lol.

Answer 4

you should probably move to the country...no depression just loss of teeth pale skin and worms...which would you rather have....stick with the mental ones...all women are disgusting or mentally ill in the end anyway

Answer 5

Oh I completely agree.

Although, I find it's much earlier than 25.

Answer 6

It's trendy to have something wrong with you. Just like several years ago almost every kid had ADD and then it was ADHD. Now it seems that a lot of kids are diagnosed with autism, from very mild to severe, and you don't hear ADD much anymore. Don't get me wrong, there is mental illness and developmental disabilities, but it's become the rule, not the exception. People judge themselves on how many prescriptions they have, not what they can do to make themselves better.  

Answer 7

Tons of people have mental issues, it is very widespread.  They've done studies of people who have moved to America from Mexico and throughout time it has shown in many cases that the people develop more stress and depression, etc.  

Answer 8

I've always been unhappy. I blame my parents for being emotionally distant, along with being very fat through middle/high school. Ow, my self-esteem.  

Answer 9

This is only my opinion...

In recent years I've also noticed that so many are afflicted by mental illness, often cause by anxiety.  My belief is that so many suffer from anxiety due to their past "demons".  Their karma is finally coming back to haunt them and as much as they try to ease their suffering with pills and such it just doesn't go away.  I could go on and on, but you get the gist of what I'm getting at, don't you?

Answer 10

I think you could probably find at least one mental "illness" in just about everyone walking the planet.  However, some people play into the illness and buy into the need for medication and the others manage it on their own.  It depends on the person's personality.  I think there are some who delight in having problems to set them apart from the general public.  The rest work around it.  :)

Answer 11

maybe you like those kind or girls.

Answer 12

I'm perfectly normal so your comment makes me feel very anxious and sad. In fact I feel so sad I think my depression is coming back. I worry about that so much and guys like you just bring back the MEMORIES. Ohhhh the horrible memories of when I was a child. I really have issues with you doing that. I'm going to ring my therapist now, no I'm not, yes I am. Where are my pills.  

Answer 13

life is hard. the older you are the more hard times you have encountered. some people coupe with pain and loss better than others.

Answer 14

midlife crisis.....you got it early....my guess

Answer 15

what's the common denominator in those relationships?

Answer 16

Sounds like you need to find someone other than a crack w***e.

Not all Americans are like that.

Answer 17

In a world where everyone is under pressure of stress of some sort and every little oddity is given a name.  Things you once just considered your children doing because they were just naughty apparently is now caused by Attention Deficit etc.  So I think you would first need to define normal.  

Being normal is not something that I could define as just what is it?  

I do agree that everyone seems to be either depressed or in therapy and in a lot of cases I think the therapy makes things worse.  

No one these days has to suck it up, or toughen up as they can just book into their therapist or if they feel they have been hard done by then they can just sue for damages.  

It is never just their own fault, but someone Else's.

Answer 18

maybe it's you

Answer 19

I have often wondered the same thing i am 67 live alone for 22 years and my neighbours son came over to see what i was laughing at so i showed him and said that's not funny he is 22  and said i am strange

I have been married twice some of that life was good but most bad i was unlucky that's life but to top yourself because your wife has an affair whilst you are overseas defending your country not in a million

If You don't like your self then you are in trouble and in my opinion most Psychologists are failed Psychiatrists these people say if you smack or cane a child in school the grow up Violent WRONG i was always being caned stood in the corner because i was coloured the only one in my school and not a week went by with me being abused by my teachers but I am a pacifist

I met a beautiful girl asked her out she was 20 years younger than me and she believed that everyone was against her did not like her Job did not like her work mates had very few friends and all the things she could not eat

By the end of the Night I was so depressed i got home and sat up and watched a Movie and of course i did not ask her out again

In Australia we have a Phrase I would not be dead for Quids ( a million Dollars) or in other words isn't life great  

I have found in life 45% of people are engrossed in their own self importance and 45% in self pity and hate everything in life and 10% probably people like you enjoy life and when things go wrong just move on

Living is Hard enough without carrying any baggage especially when it is not yours

Answer 20

and your normal?????   Everyone is not perfect. Everyone has done something that they're ashamed of. So I think everyone has issues and can either deal with it on their own or have help to deal with it.

Answer 21

LOL @ Jenn.

People deal with things differently, and more times then not get wayyy in over their heads. Alot of women experience depression/anxiety later in life (not a teenager), because when your a teenager your problems (although the death of you at the time) are really stupid. You don't have the problems you do once real life kicks in y our door.

And not for nothing buddy, but France has the highest percentage of patients suffering from anxiety and depression... so it ain't just us Americans.  

Answer 22

yea its not just 25 plus, its everyone.  younger people loooove to think they're ****** up too

Answer 23

maybe you are looking in the wrong place?  Bellview is not a good pick up spot.  Either is MySpace... duh
