Mental Health - July 2006

Most the time I feel nothing. Is this normal? I feel extreme emotions like grief or extreme happiness but that is about it. Any ideas on how to improve this. Is there something wrong with me?

I avoid parties, clubs any and all social getherings. I get nervous talking to people who have authority over me. I also get nervous in the stupidiest of situations like cashiers, calling the doctor, etc. My heart races, I shake really bad, and can barely speak. Is this social anxiety. My biological dad DOES have social phobias and was placed in a hospital they got so bad.

I live in a Hud bldg. There are mostly older folks in here. I am 51 &
disabled. This guy moved in here 2 yrs. ago, he is 32 & he was
depressed. I tried to be a friend to him, but when I would take him
places (doctors, etc.) he would threaten to sue me if we had a
car accident. I had to stop taking him places. I couldn't trust him.
In Dec. 2005 he knifed himself because of an argument with his
girlfriend. He has shown up at my door in his undershorts high on
drugs & alcohol & I told him to go home. I do not like this sort of
thing. well this girl was living with him & on Thurs. July 13 they had a violent argument at 3:00 in the morning. I was home & at 1:00 pm - I found the girl in the hall crying her eyes out & cops all
over the place. Then I saw the EMT's come in with a cot, go into
his bedroom & come out with his lifeless body - he had killed himself! I never thought he'd go do it! I ran down the hall till they
took out the body. Does anyone have any advice?

I don't know too much about OCD so help me out!

I have a very good friend who has a relative with OCD. This person has been declared disabled and receives payments from the government. In my experience people with OCD just have some bad, annoying habits....i've never heard of something so severe to get govt. payments.

My friend's relative does not leave the house at all. When I ask my friend what's wrong with his relative he gets all quiet and avoids the subject. He says he doesn't want people thinking bad things about his relative. I mean...this is a VERY close friend of mine and he tells me everything....except this. It makes me think it's pretty severe or gross or something.

Anybody out there with OCD experience take a guess at what could be wrong? I am so curious.

I absolutly hate scary movies because I get so unbelievably terrified afterwards, no matter how lame the movie is. I saw the Skeleton Key after my cousin convinced me it wasn't scary at all, but now I can't sleep. I get depressed around 5:00 because I know the night is almost here. I hate looking in the mirror. Basically, I'm a wreck. I know i'm overreacting and acting like a scardey cat, but that's just how I am, and i'm hating it. What do I do?

I'm 15 and have been cutting for about 4 years. It is getting increasingly worse and I really want to stop before I lose all my friends and family over this. Please give ANY suggestions, and don't leave answers that say I'm insane or need help. I am well aware of the problems with it, and have enough negative names for myself thanks.

Do you ever feel so pathetic, so useless that it would be better for you to just die. And if you did die, would anyone even notice you were gone?... How do you cope with the feelings if you do?

Let me start out by telling u the history of why i am where I am.. I'm 27yr male. In 99' My childhood best friend wass killed. In 2003 I lost my grandmother and then my middle brother 2 months later. In 2004 I got married and had a child, In 2005 My wife left me and I found out she had been seeing other people since day one of our marrage. In March 2006 my stefather passed away.. My point to all this is. I was put on Paxil in 2005, b4 my wife left. So for the last year I have been kinda zoned out nothing had bothered me during this time, then the med stopped working, so I winged myself off, well in the last 2 weeks of not being on it, I have became overwhelmingly sad. I started thinking about everything that has happen over the years and as I sit here now, I feel to the point that I dont even want to live. I feel alone. As you can see I have lost several people in the lsat few years. All of them where very very important in my life. I dont know where to go from here, Im lost..

I'm just finishing off my diploma in architecture, which is my first love. There's nothing else I'd want to do - nothing. But for the last year or so now, the workload has been getting me really down to a point where I know I'm really sad and even depressed - and it's making me ill. You can see it in my eyes, and my face is giving it away to family and friends, and it's hard for me to hide. I've seen a counsellor about this, and I thought I was over it, but I guess I'm not. The demons are still there, and I'm still hurting very much.

I'm smiling on the outside, but crying on the inside, and I'm a lost soul. Why is this? Is it that I'm realising at 24 what I'm losing out on lifewise? I really don't know what to do - my whole life seems to revolving around having to do this and that. I'm just lost. I have no one to talk to, tutors on my back - everything's a mess.

In our quick-fix society, anti-depressants r growing ever more popular, but are they really the answer to our mental problems. Shouldn't we just talk to the sufferer rather than just mask the difficulties by just pumping them full of drugs

She is scared to leave her house. She is on meds but they do not seem to help w/ this issue. She is in a relationship and it causes a strain cuz she will not go to his fam's house for holidays or little get2gethers. Shopping, work, school, ect. 4get about it! It is horrible to have to live like this. Poor gal. When she does go out it is no fun She gets crabby and wants to go home asap. 4get about social stuff like bars or clubs. She feels like everyone is judging her
and looking at her. I do not think they are but try to tell her that. She is 29 and has been like this off and on for years now. I am surprised she is not an alcoholic or suicidal. But it is a possibility. Trying to prevent this. Any advice out there? Anyone ever go through this? Please help us! :)
