Mental Health - July 2006

I have had feelings of worthlessness/laziness for a few years now as well as a very low self-esteem. I just have no confidence and I don't like myself enough to try and do anything. I never feel like doing anything like homework, hanging out with friends or talking to my family even though I want to do these things. Instead I just sit in my room alone or sleep. I thought I might be depressed but what if I am just a lazy person? What if that's just me? I know these are signs of depression but I don't want to be labeled depressed. I have never talked to a doctor because I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed that I'm so boring and worthless for no reason. I have a good family life and I'm not sick, what more could I ask for? I feel so stupid because I can't seem to change my attitude on my own. Should I go see a doctor even though I'll feel embarrassed? I don't want my family to see me go to a psychiatrist either because it might make them sad/worried and I don't want that.

i dont ask for help from my family when i have a problem because they tend to worry and because they worry i have no intrest in having them help me so i go and do my own thing till i can see a doctor. am i the only person who hates it when people worry about them and thus steer clear of telling family and friends about their problems be cause you dont want then to worry.

between the way i worded that and my poor grammar i dont think any of that made sense.

my husband seems to be plague with elevens. They follow him everywhere and in a very eerie way. The number eleven is a huge part of his life. We have tried to explain it somehow but we can't. It happens way too often for it to be a mere coincidence. Does anyone else out there have a problem with 11s?

my boyfriend has intimacy issues. He is 24. He comes from a family in that his parents are still living together yet they should be divorced. His parents sleep in different beds. He once told me that he thinks he has intimacy issues. He is not a touchy feely guy, whever i talk with him about intimate stuff, he needs to sit away or the other end of the bed or couch. He smokes pot (only once in a while) but claims he gets better orgasms through that. Well deep down i feel that he wants intimacy but dosn't know what to do. He sometimes cuddles with me, he did say he loved me once , but only when drunk. Last night, he smoke pot, but only very little. That night he showed affection toward me like no other time, it was very nice. Is it possible this man loves me, but just can't admit it as he has such issues dealing with feelings. Ive been datin g him 6 months, im also 24. Although he is loud and wild with his friends, he is opposite with me. Any opinions?

When giving presentation or speaking up in class, I'm too quiet, my hands shake, and grows cold. My heart pounds and I forget everything I was going to say. When I finally sit down, I forget completely what I had just said. The best way to describe it is that I blank out.

It’s kind of scary because I can’t remember at all! I don’t remember anything and I have to ask my friends what I said and what the teacher had said to me.

My friend has a baby with her ex. She recently broke up with him because he was cheating on her. He is hysterical, wants her back, etc. Well, he has been pulling some incredible things, being a real a**hole, saying all kinds of horrible things to her. Last night, she said was veyr strange. She isn't crazy, she isn't stupid, she was born and raised Catholic, but last night she said she saw something very odd. She said that he was hysterical crying again, and she felt bad so she went to his place to try to help. She said after an hour of crying hysterically, sobbing, all that fun stuff, he calmed instantly, got up and blew his nose. IT scared the hell out of her, and she ran for the door, she thought he was going to beat her. But she said he came down the stairs after her, and said, very clearly "I'm not going to hurt you. (Insert her ex's name here) Doesn't want that." All she could do was stare at him. He continued to talk like this to her all night, referring to himself in the third

My ex-wife was sexually abused as a child. I had no idea what inner turmoil was going on inside of her. She was abused by her grand father at age 5 to 8 . Her mom was abused by the same man. My ex was pergnant married and divorced at 16. Her first husband choked her. Her next boyfriend was scum. Then we met. I was 32 she was 21. We fell in love and were married. Our marrage was great except for a couple of things. She didn't know how to reach orgasm. And she was co-dependent on her family.
We stayed married for 14 years. ! week before our 14th anniversary she tells me she was with someone else. and while he was on top she cried but he wouldn't stop. She didn't know his full name. I went into shock. I tried to control my emotions but I just obsessed about the whole ordeal. The thought of her crying was killing me insi A month later she filed for divorce. What happened to her????? She is so differnt now. She was always a sweet good person and now she is just bitter
