Mental Health - July 2006

resentfull about having to live around the common muck that surrounds me? and having no way to escape it right now. knowing that its my environment and the system and people which affected me so i developed mental health problems. the antisocial area of where i live right now full of intimidating youths, that act loud and intimidating and aggressive. i feel the desire to escape all this but i know that i cant at the moment, it takes time to move, plus i rely on my mental health team for support. but i feel bitter and angry knowing that i live around the trash that probally caused my mental health problems. when you grow up through the system people have an affect on you. im 29 now but i went through alot of high schools because i was bullied. and this probally contributed to my mental health. i know where i want and where im trying to get, quiet peacefull surroundings, go in my own direction, but i dont no how im gonna get there?

I've just been told by my mother that talked to my doctor that I am having a "manic episode". I know that means a break through of some sort. I haven't been sleeping well and I've had a lot of energy when I should be dead tired. My emotions are all over - BUT THE TRUTH IS I FEEL FINE! Like, I don't feel bad or icky or anything. My doctor says I may be Bipolar. What do I do? I'm afraid now people with think less of me. I'm actually scared...
Any advice on how to handle this new life change?

And please no mean comments. I posted this question elsewhere and ppl were really insensitive and I don't need that.

My 13 year old nephew hung himself early march. and died a few days later. My 46 year old cousin died a week later of complications to diabetes. Two weeks later my uncle died of a heart attack. And about three weeks ago my husbands cousin (my friend from high school) also hung himself and died. Then to top it off, yesterday I saw a man get run over in the middle of the street. HE lived but it was still very traumatic!

Now I'm starting to have nightmares about my loved ones who are still living dieing tragically. They are very vivid dreams and they wake me in the middle of the night. I've had three in the past week. Should I see a Dr.?

I'm also pregnant and am afraid this will effect my pregnancy.

Bases on previous answers to my questions and advice from therapists, I have problems in finding any motivation, interests, self esteem, and self identity.

Question is how do I find them. I've written journals, talked about my issues with therapists, read books on it and on the net, nothing seems to help. There are things i do, like being on the net, cleaning, playing video games, hiking and such .. but i don't enjoy them .. more of an escape til it's time to go to sleep. Problem could be not fully being able to articulate my situation, which explains i guess the number of misdiagnosis i get off-online. I get i don't let go of the past cause i sense it's all i have, i get that i am mostly schizoid and don't have the emotional bonds to gain attachments to people nor the desires of the norms of society (driving, church, community service, parties, clubs, etc). Not suicidal, though does have an ideation for it. Not sure what help is there, given poor history in groups too.

i cant explain things because my mind cant function
i feel like everyone is out to piss me off
at night i have conversations going on inside my head that keep me awake
sometimes i respond to my thoughts as in ''talk back''
i want to escape from people all the time
when im around people i feel lethargic and drained and unintrested in conversation but at the same time anxious
i dont enjoy life or anything in it
my mind tells me people are watching me so i get paranoid
i feel like exploding inside i have all this rage
i hit walls and smash things
from being a todler i never socialised i hated it
even around people who understand me i dont want to socialise because my minds having conflicts and im in another world
if im on my own and im walking past people i keep thinking they are going to attack me, im paranoid
i see it in my mind, i see this vision of me getting attacked
ive been diagnosed with social anxiety and depression but im sure i have schizophrenia

People at my school run away from me alot, thinking that autism is contagious, and when I tell the teacher, they say that they didn't do such thing. What should I do? Also, there have been many people who bully me because I drum alot on the bus, even when I've won first prize in three talent shows. They say I should go to a mental asylum. What do you think I should do?

This question is for those who are on or who were on Prozac... Did it cause you to loose weight? And if so, how much, and how long did it take to loose that much weight? Also, what other kind of effects did the drug have on you? (I am taking 10 mg daily for depression, and I've been on it for about a week and have lost 1 lb. without dieting or changing my exercise plan.)

Things have just seemed so complicated lately, that these happy memories have been popping up more and more (even while writing this). The problem is I often want to be there instead of here, or at least re-experience those exact memories, and feel the happiness I felt about them then. I want to be able to control things so I can create that for myself, a means where I can go back and re-experience, somehow. Why do I feel this way??

my mum had the front of our house painted bright, sunshine yellow. itr is soooooo ridiculous and humiliating. it is more noticeable because it is a double fronted house of a terraced street.'ve just built up my self esteem to go out on my own and now i feel i cant even goo out of the house. my self esteem has gone right down like it used to. i was doing good until the painting took place. its like she's in south africa or some hot country where its ok to have that colour but in the northwest of england and in a city, well...thats a different thing. what the hell does she think she's doing. i think she's trying to get back at me and my dad. she has been ill since 16 yrs mentally and physically and reckons having that colour gives her happiness. i dont think so coz she dont even go out at all and how can she see her house frm the outside from her window. its stupid and ridiculous. when we all told her its wrong colour and that we all should have had a negotiation of what colour...

My husband is a depressive alcoholic and his mood swings have caused great upset to our two children.

He left the family home in Easter this year, at the time I didn't know that he had any mental health problems I thought that he left because he was seeing someone else.

Since then however I have tried to get him help via the doctor, social services and other organisations but he doesn't want to know.

I work part time so I can't be with him all the time, when he's had something to drink (usually between 10-18 cans of beer) he is very aggressive and abusive, and although I go to his flat and help him tidy up I can't cope anymore.

I am physically and mentally drained with the abuse he shouts at me and our eldest child is scared of him

his mother says I should end the relationship and get on with my life and he'll be fine, but I don't think I can let go that easily.

He has threatened to kill himself on many occasions and I don't know I should do?

My g/f rang me this morning to say she was feeling down (she suffers from depression) and wasnt going to work. I offered to meet her for lunch, or meet her after work (offering to finish work early). She had a go at me, saying I was just making an excuse to see her.

How can I make her see that I was just trying to be supportive, cheer her up, get her out of the house?

Was I right to offer to meet her?
