Mental Health - July 2006

Do you think that mental instability/illness could prove to be an advantage for a painter. If so could you give me a few reasons why, or, examples of painters who's work show definate signs of being influenced by their mental health problems. Thankyou in advance.

I used to be very full of pride, able to stare people down but all of the sudden now I don't really like looking people in them much. My eyes tend to wander now and it seems that it just came on recently. I tend to think it's possibly self-esteem but then again, I am happy. I know this comes from self-esteem and self confidence but if so, how do I change it?

It's become clear that from responses to question I needed to clarify a few points. When I mentioned replusive it was about the norms within society in terms of socialization (like parties, driving, org faith, etc) not of the persons themselves. Yes, i have had therapy before on this matter, though only advice that made sense was a probability i'll never find what i'm looking for in such a rural conservative part of the country. it's no offense to those who are that, just it's something i can't connect with.

I certainly understand the idea of volunteering, i have applied to dozens of volunteer places, though have been turned down by each (even homeless shelters since all local ones are christian runned and require persons of such faiths to pertake in them).

Maybe i am trying to justify something (would explain the additude of all the q's i've asked). Maybe i'm trying to punish myself for past or future. Guess i'm just seeking ideas i have not tried or heard of yet

Would mild binge eating and puking ,cause constipation?
When i say mild i mean some times its a binge mostly its guilt over eating the odd cake or choc bar,sometimes i eat them with the plan to chuck up.
I Recently lost two and 3/4 Stone -i was depressed and not eating much,and then started a really healthy eating regime,but i didnt eat lots,mostly skipped dinner-not hungry in the eves.
Im a very black and white person-all or nothing so no treats,no junk,sugar,barely any carbs,just a very simple diet of oats ,fish,salad,veggies,fruit ,seeds and nuts now and again-basically natural stuff.
Then if anything remotely bad entered me i would throw up-even pasta -toast but its not regular,i know its not good for you
Recently im tempted to have a good binge -i read on the net if you do it in 5 mins and puke you dont put weight on,it is becoming more often,i think three times a week in the last couple of weeks but still i dont worry,i hate having a bunged up tum though,i use laxatives

I am worried about something, but I don't know what it is... It is bothering me, like something in the back of my mind, but I can't figure out what it is and it's really getting to me.

I've seen so many people, male and female who have abusive partners that make them miserable. I know that perhaps part of the reason is that the partner has shredded their self esteem so much, but it is so frustrating to watch this happen to those you care about. If you are/were in an abusive relationship what makes/made you stay? If you left, how did you get out?

I've gotten alot of advice on this from previous ?'s, but feel the answers were general and not applying to me.

I get the point of needing to get life in order, but I didn't like myself even when it was in order. or when in better physical, financial, etc shape. So I know doing that won't get me to like myself, it'll merely remove more years from my life just to get me back here.

So, how does one like themselves. I respect what I spiritually, even if such a mix of multiple faiths makes me isolate from others. My problem is of the few interestts i've had (hiking, chatting, video games, and meditation, they're all solo activities). I can't seem to find one that involves contact with other persons. I have explored hundreds of ideas that involve others, but find it replusive.

I guess in the end I get tired of hearing the same advice which hasn't helped and which only removes more time from life. I don't wanta be 5-15 yrs older and still at same point. It's just a lost life
