Mental Health - August 2006

I'll be seeing a counselor or psychiatrist for the first time next week. (whatever my regular doc refers me to). I was just wondering how it all goes down. What they ask, how they act, etc.

Just so people will have a place to vent. To let people tell thier story that they may not tell thier friends / family, but want someone to talk to (for free). I know sometimes I wish I had someone to talk to. So, I was hoping to have a group together where we can all become "group budies" & try to releave stress & old bad thoughts out of our minds.

How can I start this? I'm not sure if I could find people who feel the same way. Is there a website to help with start-up that is a decent website, not one that sells books on this subject?

I dream of the wreck my fiance had almost 5 years ago in which she died. I had these nightmares after the wreck happened but now they have started coming back in the last few nights.

Anymore I dont feel like doing anything. I have a week off from work right now which I was really excited about but Im halfway through it and cant think of anything I want to do. But Im bored to tears? There are things I COULD do like go to the beach, shopping, or anything really just none of it sounds appealing. What should I do?

ive known a girl on the net that ive known for over a year, and ive been chatting to, weve grown strong feelings for each other, she knows that i get down because ive told her, weve had our up and down days. weve fallen out and made up again. she doesnt no that i have enduring mental health problems, even though im doin alot better in life, i still have anger, high levels of anxiety, extreme low self esteem, racin thoughts, im in the process of gettin help with a cpn. but she doesnt no any of this. and recently shes announced that shes coming to do her education over here and that she wants to be with me. and i want to be with her just as much as i really love her, weve just even aggreed we would both like to become committed to each other. but i live in a small crummy flat on my own, i greatly fear that if she came over here and saw all this and my true circumstances, she would reject me and lose interest. she really seems to like me & says lovely things to me, no girl has ever said

I don't know it just seems that I can't go a day without making some sort of stupid mistake at work. I work in a hospital as a receptionist and it requires a lot of concentration and attention to detail. I feel like I am the one making the most mistakes (I am also the newest employee) and it is very frustrating. I do not know if it is because I feel under pressure and rushed all the time or if there can be some health related problem on concentrating. Am I being excessively demanding of myself or is this normal. My boss has not talked to me about doing better so this makes me believe that I am not doing so bad but still I want to be better..

I found a cadaver under a pile of leaves with my freind in the woods in back of my old house in the early 50's. I screamed so loud the next door neighbor stopped mowing his lawn and ran down the trail to see what all the fuss was about. He called the cops from there. It was so mangled, it took about 3 minutes to find out what the heck it was. When I saw the remains of a head, that's when I screamed. Has anyone expereinced something similar or equally frightening.

I've been taking ginkgo tablets because I heard that they boost brain power. And it appears to be working -- based on my astute and intelligent answers here :-) But do they all have to smell putrid? Maybe I've got the wrong brand -- I bought these at Sam's club (there are like a 1000 pills in here.) thanks!

For the last two years I have just felt unhappy. Whenever I would tell my best friend she just told me I will get over it. I sleep for 14 hours a day...my weight is constantly on my mind(30 lbs overweight)...I always feel that I could have such a better life and I'm wasting my years away being unhappy. Any suggestions on how I can get over this?

i use to be very loving and considerate towards my friends (including my girlfriend), but all of a sudden ive changed back and fowardth. i cant feel love and ive become less interested in the activities i found amusing. the love for my friend, which was my girlfriend since this happened, has lost its warmth and i hardly care about her feelings. its hard to concentrate sometimes and i have things that bother me that never once bothered me about her. i forget wat i was just thinking about real fast. my body feels tired alot. i space out once and awhile. ive lost the emotion to cry. if i do cry its like my eyes water alittle or if i do its cuz im stressed out. i just quit my job. i stopped goin in alot of times or i was late cuz i just didnt care. life just seems very empty. i use to be happy. is it BPD?

I told my doctor i thought i had an eating disorder. She said ok lets put you on prozac, you must be eating cause you are depressed. UM no i'm not depressed i eat too much!! So I say is there counseling available i mean come on and she says well the prozac will help you be less compulsive about your eating. GRR so now i have a new doctor and i don't want to ask her about it but i really think i need help!! Ok that was ranting my question is tho why do doctors want to give you antidepressants but not REAL help????
