Mental Health - July 2006

If you go, do you believe in sponsorship? If you do, what qualities would you want in a sponsor? I don't believe you need to see me in person and know my name to tell me how it works for you in your life and what working your program the way that is right for you has given you in your life.

I do know, however that many AA meetings are closed to non-alocoholics and they require you to admit you're alcoholic when attending their meeting and that the meetings are designed to help the newcomer understand alcoholism and how to recover and help the recovering ones continue on the right path. So, if you must know if I am an alcoholic before telling me any of what you know about working the AA program, yes, I do believe I am an alcoholic.

I am wondering, if I want to be treated for my eating disorder in college, will I have to pay for treatment??? I cannot afford it now and obviously will not be able to afford it then, but I have been bulimic for 5 years and worry that it will become extremly bad in college without my parents there for me to worry about catching me.......does anyone know anything about this??? Please help, I need some advice.

Is it always right? Could it be nothing more than PMS for girls? Is it our 6th sense? Can it be trusted? Ignored?

I have gone cold turkey from paxil since 19 days ago when I found out I was pregnant. The dizziness and vertigo, numbness in my lips and fingers, the constant agitation, it's all just as bad today as it was 2 days after I quit. Is there an end in site or should I plan to live the rest of my life like this. And does anyone know the % on baby with defects when their mothers quit this stupid drug in the first month or two of pregnancy. And before you ask, no this was not a planned pregnancy, but now I am in the situation and have to make the best of what I can...

-I dont want to leave the house

-I dont want to do anything active, unless Im with friends

-I dont think my friends actually like me

-Ive givin up on myself, because I can never seem to lose weight

-I sleep alot of the day, then spend the rest of it on the computer

-Ive had thots of suicide

-I always feel like im not good enough or pretty enough for anyone

-When I used to fight with my parents I just brushed it off, now I feel like running away.

-Ive had thots of wanting to get pregnant just to get away from my parents and having someone to love

Even if I dont have depression how can I get rid of these thots, I dont want to go to a doctor becuz someone would have to drive me

Hi everyone. I have been seeing a psychologist to overcome my depression and anxiety and i have been doing so without meds. just recently he told me I have defeated depression and it was almost magical to hear. I do have a lot of good days I can even go a day now without having nausea but my bad days are horrible. I don't get them all the time but when I do I feel just like I did when I was first diagnosed with depression. is this normal or did I not actually overcome it. I am not sure about how you are supposed to feel when you know that you are doing better but know sure how good you actually are. please help because I am very confused with the whole process. any advice or comments would be great. thanks
