Mental Health - August 2006

I am SERIOUS. I have long hair and when I take a shower some of the strands of hair get in my crack of my rear end. I like the feeling of pulling the hairs off me. I am dead serious and my husband thinks I need help.

Im 16, but ive got a son who's one month old. I live him to bits, but ever since he's been born everyone's been making me feel like crap, calling me common and just generally lowering my self esteem. It wasn't my or the mother's fault she got pregnant, it was dodgy protection (ie split) and im just trying to be a half decent father. Does anyone know how i can get more self-esteem? At the moment i just feel really, really low.

Okay, the people I talk to keep telling me I'm unhealthy and very antisocial. I hardly talk to anybody, I always have my nose in a book or staring off into space thinking about particularly nothing, I hardly talk to anybody, hardly smile at all anymore, all of that good crap. But I've been living with it--- loneliness? depression?--- for a few years now to the point where I hardly notice it... the problem is that i hardly trust anybody (long story) and I'm just wondering if I should go see somebody and if that will bring any good results.

Do you ever feel like you can't shut off your brain? Does it ever get so bad to where you become anxious? How do you deal with it when anxiety becomes too much to bear? Even when you have no real reason to worry? Is there a way to deal with this other than medication and/or counseling? Any personal experiences or ways of dealing would be appreciated. Thanks.

Say, take a person that's dealing with mental health issues or perhaps involved in self destructive behaviors and get them involved in a "scared straight" program. If such programs are able to assist in the rehabilitation of youths involved in unlawful behavior who would otherwise have been headed for jail, would this type of program help the mental health of those dealing with sexual abuse, depression, etc,...?

If so tell me how. I've felt like sh1te for days and have all the same symptoms as when I have had it before like crying nearly all the time. But I don't want to go back to the docs and end up on medication. Is there an alternative to make me feel better?

I am tired of this routine.

I want to get 'crunked with muh homies'.

I want to 'be a balla who's big pimpin' and flashin' grillz'.

How do I do it?

I have Kaiser HMO in California through my employer and am not sure how to begin the process to see a therapist. How do I find out if my insurance covers therapist visits? Would I be restricted to only seeing Kaiser therapists?

Im sad most days and Im thinking it may not be normal. I stay secluded most days and if and when i see anyone i say im ok. Im really struggling to tell anyone because I do not want to burden anyone with my problems. I also worry no one will believe me and dismiss me.

I dont know what I would be asking for anyway... what anyone could possibly do for me....

I just rather not say anything because I dont want to be exposed.... I am very ashamed to be depressed so I keep it to myself

why am I depressed? I think about my failures and regrets and mistakes.. I think about how I could have been so much more in life.. I think about how I feel so wasted and stupid.

also i dont have the means to see a doctor so i would not be able to do that.

I always hope one day I will wake up and I will feel great full of motivation with a desire to live.

I have been to a psychiatrist who had given me multiple disgnosis in a matter of minutes and treated me accordingly. I found the medication unagreeable and I discontinued them on my own. This was 3 years ago. As of now, my symptoms have changed.
My mood changes very quickly from " up and happy " to a bit down in the dumps. My thoughts seem to race as son asI awake from topic to topic. I feel deep anxiety regarding certain topics in my life including work. Sometimes (increasingly less in frequency) I become quite angry and hae some difficluty controling my temper. I am not physical in my anger (I used to be). My fights seem to be with my wife the most (ver stupid things). I fing myself regretting the fights after things cool down because my repsonses were not proportionate to the actual fight. I go too far with things I say but I can not control my mouth quite often. Any ideas out there. I could use the input. I love my wife and do not want to subject her to this any longer.

I've heard they like the pain?? I'm really confused so If you cut you should explain to why you do it? I just don't see hurting yourself as pleasure.

Over the course of our relationship it's slowly come out that beginning at age 4 he had an off and on Oedipus complex with his mother until he was about 23. He was sexually molested by a grandfather at age 5. He admitted having had illicit thoughts of female cousins and aunts, beginning as a teenager up until his early twenties.

What does it mean for his long term mental health if he had an Oedipus complex until just a few years ago?

What should I approach our relationship knowing this?

im 15 years old and my mom has just moved away to a different country since she couldn't stay in the USA since she doesn't have Visa. I was fine for two weeks after she left and now, its like all the motivation has left me and i don't want to eat and having a difficult time getting to sleep. I tried meditating before going to sleep and it works but just to get there is just so crap.
Do you know anyway of getting over this "depression"?
It also gets more depressing because the person i live with is gone for most of the week and at least three times a week she goes somewhere far so she doesn't come back until like 12 at night. So i'm alone all day and i still have a week before school starts.

Im not looking for attention, I don't want symphathy, or to be talked out of it, or silly answers like "go to Iraq with an American flag". I'm hoping someone would be "Dr.Cavorkian" enough to give me a real answer. I've tried everyplace else, now I'm trying here. If people can be sympathetic enough to put animals to sleep, if they are in immense pain, why not a human. Some problems just cant be fixed.

I know somebody that is almost always hunched over by his chair, rarely standing straight. He is always eating candies and cake, but he never seems hyperactive because of it. I just want to know if there's a specific psychological disorder, potentially diagnosable through the DSM-IV, that this person may have.
