Mental Health - July 2006

Can anyone suggest good, serious literature about learning to put more weight behind my words and actions. I often fell mentally 'light', easy to push around, easy to manipulate, not feeling 'safe' and strong enough to make a stand. I can say what I want, but give up too easily if I don't feel positive response quickly.

Over the years I have had the same reoccuring dream with differant scenarios. In my dreams I am always trying to hide a dead body or bodies and I am fearful that someone will find it.

Last night I had the dream, this time it was two dead men. I hid them in he back of my truck, hoping no one would find them. The smell was aweful, and I remembering talking to one of my boyfriend's friends asking him to help me hide it. And he just shrugged and said he couldnt help me. My boyfriend was just sitting in the truck waiting for me to tell him where we should put the body.

Last week, in the a dream I sunk the body in a small pond inside a car. But the water was not deep enough and the tail lights were sticking out of the water. But everyone was fishing and walking by, they saw the car but did not call the cops or think much about it. In that dream I had a horrible feeling of being caught. I planned on how to get the car back out of the water and put the dead body someone else

A bill just got passed in Ohio saying that all publicly funded schools must display that motto or the words "In God We Trust" (like on money) if something that says it is donated to the school. Do you think that's right? Religion aside, what if the poster or plaque is *ugly*? ;-)

Not that I want to sound even weirder on here, after asking many questions that have freaked people out but I will add another... I often get images of myself (sometimes nightmares) of my being beaten up, or bleeding heavily, or stabbing myself... Random images or in the nightmares clips of me being harmed by my own doing... Anyone get this? Or have a clue why I may get this?

Please don't ask if I am insane... It is always a possibility

I've just graduated and i have 2 dead serious exams thursday and friday in which i have to get reeeeeeeealy good greades in order to enter the university (i want to be an architect: in the first exam, i have to take a test in descriptive geometry, the second is drawing). I realy love these things, and i've loved to draw since i was 3. I've been studying for the whole year (in my, and my teachers opinion) really hard, but i'm not sure, i'll get in. I graduated with exeptionally good grades, so, i don't think i'm stupid, but maybe i'm not smart enough for this? I'm beginning to freak out and, i'm afraid i will be so stressed out that i cannot concentrate, i cannot sleap, if i do sleep, i have nightmares. I have eating problems too, but i feel like haven will collaps if i don't get in this year.
I want to be calm, and relaxed, but without medication, please....

I am wondering if anyone knows a place where a drug addict (ICE) can be forcibly taken away for treatment, psychiatric help, evaluation....so far all I know is he can be arrested and assesed but then let out in an hour/day....I am talking about a drug addict, now off the stuff for a few days, mood swings, manic depressive, violent, lying, basiclly coming down from ICE and in need of help, in the form of being physically taken away and assesed.

i was a happy child, and one morning my mum was brushing my hair before i went to school, and i had this awful feeling of loneliness and sadness, for no apparent reason. then it would happen every now and then where it wouldn't matter where i was, this feeling would come over me. it sort of felt like being homesick, but it also happened at home. now i have depression due to illness. but what was all the stuff from childhood?

I just find that people who suffer with depression seem to have to hide their illness as if its something to be ashamed of you should be able to speak about it with out feeling guilty or like your being a burden on people

Someone I know has recently started getting nightmares, didn't think much about it untill she had one during the day, she was simply sat at her desk at work and suddenly felt herself being burned at the stake, then she saw herself leave her body to turn around and watch herself being burnt. This of course was very scary, she has been to see a doctor and they proscribed prozac however she has been on this before and really didn't like it and so has refused to take it, she has been given a different medication although not sure what it is. However she has started feeling very sick and at one point has felt as though she was going to pass out. Is this normal with depression or have the doctors just looked at her records saw that she has had a problem in the past and assumed its the same again.

I am a nice happy-go-lucky person who is quite creative and artistic. Yet i seem to get horrible images smoetimes that flash through my head. I know it sounds mental but its uncontrolable...for example if someone is waliking down stairs i can get a mental image of them falling and braking a limb, but the image only comes in about two seconds and is really graphic in detail!! These images always seem to be negative and can sometimes disrtess me to the point where i start to panic. Other times it happens is when i try to sleep at night, I tend to have visions of all that has been negative in my life and when i try to swap by thinking of the good things ive done it just doesnt work.
I also suffer from the most graphic horrible nightmares to the point where they have seemed so real i have been worrying about them..when i describe them to people they are like " woah your mental!!" Is this normal behaviour, someone told me it could be the devil or am i just goin crazy?? Please help!!!!
