Mental Health - June 2006

I am in therapy with a wonderful counselor. I see a psychiatrist regularly, and he has me on a world of psychotropic drugs: abilify, cymbalta, provigil, focalin xr. I've been on this cocktail for about four months. I don't really feel better, and I am tired all of the time, except for a few hours after I take the focalin xr. I want my life to be better, but I just feel so stuck in the past and regret a lot of the decisions I made. Any advice you have will be greatly appreciated.

does anxiety medication just stop working for no reason? or can it make the anxiety and panic worse instead of better?

I have had anxiety and panic attacks for years. my attacks have always been associated and caused by my feeling of mental anxiety, but lately i have been having panic attacks that are not brought on by anything. i can just be sitting and relaxing and boom, i have all the physical symptoms of an attack. and there is no gradual progression into an attack it just hits me like a ton of bricks. anyone know why why this could be happening? And what i could do to try to identify it and get a grip on it before it gets uncontrollable?

For as long as i can remember i have been terrified of clowns and sometimes jesters etc, depending on how much makeup they have on. People say that this fear sems from a bad experience when you were younger but i have never had any! (well, not involving clowns anyway) is this a very common fear and what is it that you think causes it?

What keeps you going every day, and inspires you from just going back and taking one more hit, one more drop, or one more shot?


A simple question...or is it?

I get them once in awhile and they are tolerable. But if something traumatic happens (like now), I get them consistently throughout the whole day. I can't focus at work, have a hard time sleeping at night, and my heart is racing the whole day.

I am a housewife and get bored at home during the day, so I rearange the furniture, and I am not joking. I find it relaxing, but i am afraid that this may be something that is not normal. I have been doing this for well over ten years, actually I am 30, and have done this since I lived homewith my parents at the age of about ten or younger. My mom was the same way until she became wheelchair bound.
My husband has never come home to the same style room, even the day I came home from giving birth, is this a sign of a problem?
