Mental Health - August 2006

I suffered with depression/suicidal feelings etc between the ages of 12 to 17. I never found out why, I can only make assumptions as to why.

I am almost 21 and the last few years have been wonderful, bad things have happened ... but I have been wonderful.

I have always had a fiery temper though and lately (a couple of months) it's been getting worse, and I haven't been my cheerful self, but what has scared me the most is that the thought of killing myself crossed my mind for a minute today...this wont happen as I have too much to live for.

I have been to counselling, seen a psychologist many years ago but I never got anything out of them. I would like to have anger management classes but I can't afford it, or counselling or anything like that.

I find most comfortable writing, so I have bought myself a notebook... as yet it is empty and hope people can suggest exercises, websites, things that I should be writing about that could help me please? Thank you

He did it again, I asked him to stop... He didn't listen... He is much too strong for me... I want to die, I want to end it all right here, right now... I feel so dirty, You are all I got, You are the only one I can tell. It would just break my family apart. If I say anything, My grandma is going to die... I just don't know what to do... I am so dirty, I am so lost. I thought it was all over... I ...need help... I feel like I am in hell right now, I can't get his face out of my head. I am the most discusting thing on the phase of the earth... I don't know what to do... I have lost all my strength, all my will to live... How can I tell my hubby? I don't want him to commit a crime, I fear his reaction. He is going to think it was my fault. I want to die... Don't worry, this is not a suicide note, I am too much of a chicken, I'm just so desperate, I am so lost. There is so much noise in my head, it is all pain and conufusion... CAN YOU LIFT MY SPIRIT?

I drink 6 - 9 beers each night, alone. I choose the higher alcohol beer for better "effects". I love being numb. I hide alcohol sometimes so my other half doesn't know how much I'm drinking. I sometimes have blackouts. Tell me what you think?

I am wondering how the combination worked for others, I already know that different meds work different for everybody, so please don;t answer with that, just want to know individual experiences people have had with the two drugs mixed.

A real serious problem...?
I'm very emotional, and I get you know the s word from time to time...
my dad has diabetes, and is cranky all the time, and both my parents are old and getting weaker because their tired from workiing all those years. I'm young but also sick (both physically and mentally) My bro is getting somewhere finally after a long time living in the house but I'm sick of my situation. Anyone know how I can better my life? I'm especially mad at my dad right now. Yesterday I wanted to talk to him but he told me to go away because he was in pain and couldn't talk to me! He should've apologized to me, I felt really bad that I couldn't talk to him?



That wasn't a question at the end of the last sentence so I probably should've just put a period.

Actually nevermind, I might just delete this question.

some people can just be such jerks, and know-it-alls, and ignorant losers, and it drives me crazy. What do you do when someone pisses you of?

I suddenly have no motivation to do anything, not even eat, Im very stressed when my phone rings and i can see it is my friends calling, i feel awkward around my family, job, and find myself not thinking about anything positive or getting anything done in my life. I honestly woke up one day and realized everything is worthless, and I am worthless, whats the point? I feel s overwhelmed by my negative thoughts and anxiety to speak to people. Its really consuming me and making me miserable. I am religious but I dont really know how to speak to god. I dont really want to speak to any of my friends because Im afraid they will but in with their own bullshit, and not really give me anything valuble to work with. Does this happen often, and if so, how do I get over it its been 6 months now, and I cant have this continue because of obvious reasons.

I am 27 and just diagnosed as bi-polar about 7 months ago. I am taking 7 pills a day and I can't stand it anymore. I take Lithium, Lamictal and Paxil CR. They make me sick at my stomach and even looking at the pill bottles makes me sick. I stopped taking the Lithium and Limictal about a week ago but I need to find an herbal substitute for these.

I don't carry credit cards, but I have a bad habit of overspending my budget to the point that checks bounce and I wind up in a financial mess. I have even been suckered into those cash advance places.

I use shopping as a way to relieve stress. Yes, I am in therapy and this is an issue we discuss. Before you blast me for asking in this forum, I am looking for people who have been through this before! I have looked into Spenders Anonymous, but the nearest meeting site is a 2-hour drive away.

I budget, I do lists, I shop with cash only (when I have cash), and I even gave my parents my debit card so I can't go to the ATM. I can't get myself to stick to a budget.

If you have this problem, what are some of the things you do to help yourself?
