Mental Health - July 2006

hair falling out, insomnia, weight gain ( even though not really eating)... Wondering if these could be signs of depression..(my son died 8 months of SIDs at 11 days of age) so i know i am still in a grieving process. But I am not taking any medication and my Thyroid has been checked.....

I HAVE SUFFERED DEPRESSION MOST OF MY LIFE. PEOPLE THINK OF IT AS A DEEP DARK SECRET. WE WORRY MORE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK THAN WHAT WE FEEL INSIDE. TALKING TO SOMEONE IS GREAT. PRAYER HAS BEEN MY ANSWER. BUT FOR YOU IT MAY BE MEDICINE. WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU DO IT TODAY. DO NOT TRY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION ON YOUR OWN. SEEK HELP AND DO NOT BE ASHAMED. BEEN THERE DONE IT.

For the past few weeks and now two months now. I've been taking things slow restroing my friendship between myself and male best friend Brendan Miller. When I see him around in Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments or other places he is happy go lucky,joking,talkative and when it comes to me it's completely opposite and not like that anymore.

Honestly...I feel more scared that I'm losing him as a friend. I don't know how to communicate with him my feeling this,wanting things better like it was before.

Is it easier for guys like him to relate to male friends,than it is a female friends like me ? Why is this ? How can I have our friendship be the way it was before,but much better ?

Releated to these things:

hi im 29,i have had mental health difficulties that ive had since 15. i have no self worth and struggle with it. i have been refered for therapy. but you see i feel trapped, trapped by my own dependancy on the health services, because i no i cant just get up and move away, because i need their help, and i dont feel self sufficiant right now. i struggle with inner rage which im trying to get help for. my moods are low constantley, i live in an area where theres a big antisocial problem with gangs of youths, so im trying to get out. but most of all it mortifies me to think nobody if they really new my circumstances, like a girl for instance wouldnt find me attractive, i dont have any self worth, i dont have alot of materialism because im on welfare. and i truly dispair sometimes to think i have nothing to offer anyone, i no i dont wanna give up. i speak to a lovely girl in canada that ive spoke to for 12 months on net. but if she really new the reallity of my circumstances.shed be gone

I am one of those un-popular people who sits alone and does not have that much friends. The people I know from elementary, middle, and high school are now getting girlfriends/boyfriends, getting into fads, dont reconize me and are doing drugs or whatever the hell they are doing. I dont like criticism and I dont get out that much. I only have my drawing talent and that is getting me nowhere. And everytime I waste away my pathetic life, I wonder if there is even any hope for me. What to do?

So many people are so opposed to taking medication for mental conditions. I just wondered why this is. I look at it like this: The brain is just another organ in our body. People don't seem to have a problem taking medication for a heart problem, liver disease, diabeties etc. A lot of mental conditions are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. These conditons are easyily treated with the right medication. So what is the problem? Do people feel that taking medication means they are crazy? I am just curious about the opinions that bring people to feel this way.

hi, how can i combat the desirefull urge to escape to a better time, another place? i do suffer with mental health difficulties that ive had since 15. im currently 29. the problems ive had for all this time is inner rage, exploding with anger in public, intense anxiety, palpatations, and low moods. but i still havent been diagnosed with these disorders but it is acknowledged that i have, mental health problems, because i have a social worker whos part of a mental health team. but i still dont think im getting the right treatment even though ive been refered for psychotherapy, so im going to talk to my social worker next week. however i keep having the feeling that i wish i could be in a better life,& that the knowledge that its out there, like emmegration, living in a nice part of the states, in nice surroundings with a nice wife. and i long for something like this in my life. but it seems worlds away and that i can never achieve it, because of what ive got to deal with. im in the uk.
