Mental Health - July 2006

Be honest what is your worst fear, im not talking about those little things, im talking about the things that would hurt you for the rest of your life... what do you deeply fear?

i fear loosing everyone that I love, I fear loosing my husband to someone else, never feeling adequate enough for my husband and I fear that one of my children will not make it through to adulthood. I also fear that I will turn out to be just like my mother and that my children will grow up emotionally damaged because of me...

I have psychotic symptoms ...voices. but recently as I was telling someone what was going on in my head... they said it sounded like ocd thinking.
so what is the difference between hearing voices and ocd thinking??
what I hear sometimes is repetitious sing songy stuff...not all that pleasant words.
sometimes it is a recognizable voice..my own inner voice other times...NOT
anyone have a clue??? could this person be right that I have some ocd symptoms as well??

How likely is it that you'll have another depressive episode when you've already had one?

I'm 24 years old and suffered a severe depressive episode which I'm recovering from now (almost two years later) and I'm worried that it will happen again in the future. I'm still on medication at the minute and will be for probably at least another 6 months, but I'm scared that when I come off the medication I'll relapse, or that I'll be ok for a little while and then it will hit me again.

How likely is it that I'll become depressed again in later life? And is there anything in particular I can do to prevent it?

Every now and then, I meet people that stand out of the crowd and make an impression on me. I admit, most of them are males. I get so over-enthusiastic about them that I have to know everything there is to know about them and spend as much time together as possible. This only lasts for about 2 weeks (until I satisfy my curiousity); after that, they do not interest me that much.
I would like to add that, at first, romantic feelings are left out (I am more interested in the emotional bond we share). I am very discreet about it (I'm not a stalker or anything like that), but this becomes the dominating thought in those 2 weeks. Sometimes it gets confusing and I end up fantazising about them.
Do I have a problem with this? What kind of problem? And how serious is it?

that's just one of them.

i don't remember when it started, but it's been happening to me for years already. it became worse this year. i don't know what to do.

everytime i see, hear, (and lately, think.) about anything that has to do with death (like cemeteries, funeral parlors, car crash, etc.), i feel the urge to grab anything that gives out my reflection so that i could see my eyes. im not at peace if it is not done. you see, everytime i see any death-related object, i uncontrollably imagine the first person that i have eye contact with in the same situation. (for example, i begin to imagine his/her name in the obituaries if i am reading the obituaries at that time). disturbing pictures flood my mind.. and since i don't want that person to be in such fate (im afraid of losing the people around me.. esp. my parents.), i just look instead at my own and the anxiety is gone. (it's because i'd rather die than see them go away.)

i know its weird.
but please, how do i make this stop? :(

Can anyone recommend an over the counter sleeping pill or a product that will allow me to unwind at night and get a good nights sleep? My job keeps me up odd hours and at times it takes me more than 2 hours to fall asleep after laying down due to being so wound up. Can anyone suggest something?

Has anyone known anyone, or been involved in anything regarding Munchausen syndrome byproxy? (when a parent uses illnesses that don't exist to make their child seem always sick. usually it is nothing, and they will continue to take their children to doctor after doctor to make it seem like it's something bad they can't be explained)
My aunt and uncle just lost custody of their 2 children (which my family now has custody of). My aunt was charged with munchausen syndrome byproxy, and they are continuing to fight the case. It is ridiculous - because for years my family has been saying there is something wrong with her...because she always talks about how sick her kids are - and how they haven't been to school in MONTHS!
If anyone has experienced anything like this - we are trying to reach out and find help with coping. We're not sure how to handle all of this.
Any advice is welcomed!

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I had a dream last night about my deceased grandmother who passed away over a year ago. The dream felt VERY real, like I was back at her house up north, same setting, same living room, etc. I saw her come up to me, in the dream, and I asked her how she was and she said was she doing fine and asked how I was, and it felt very real. She told me she was doing fine and everything would be ok, and asked me about my career and told me to stay with it. I hugged her but I didn't touch her, it was like she was a ghost.

At the end of the dream, my grandmother's face slowly faded and then a lady I had seen at a store earlier in the day appeared and kind of faded in to where my grandmom was standing at the door, which was WEIRD. Now, I remember talking about my grandmom earlier in the day, but sometimes I do dream about her from time to time.

Does it seem this could have been real contact in a dream, or just me thinking of her and then dreaming this? never had this before.

I have BP 2, and I was watching Sin City last night, and there was a part where one of the characters stopped and second guessed their sanity. Basically they said they have a 'condition' and sometimes they get 'confused'. I felt as if I could have said that myself, it really hit home. Does anyone else do this? Copmletely step back and second guess your sanity?
What do you do when you find yourself in this situation?

I am 25 years old with a husband and a 14 month old son, 5 dogs and 2 cats. I have this paralyzing fear at all hours of the day about death. When I wake up in the morning and walk to my sons crib I fear I will find him dead, when I come home from work I fear i will find one of my animals dead. When the phone rings I get nauseating feeling in my stomach that its my hubbys work telling me he was in an accident, when I have like gas pains or back pain I am convinced I am having heart attack, if I hear the fire whistle blow while Im gone I am convinced its my house on fire, or if tis the ambulance I hear its always for a wreck that involved my family members, I cant stand this anymore, I hae been on like 7 different medications: paxil, zoloft, clonazapam, etc... how to fix this
