Mental Health - August 2006

because I can't point my finger at someone and blame him for his persecuting me? Because the media tells you so? What's your evidence that I am mentally ill? I am NOT mentally ill, just because there are "voices" that PERSECUTE me. Do you get it?

When everything is rotten, what do you do/think of, to make you feel better?

I cry all the time, my boys (ages 6 and 4) talk about their daddy and they want to know if he will ever come down from heaven? He was my Ex because he had a severe drinking problem, and he would than verbally and physically abuse me, so I had to leave for our safety. However, I did not want him to kill himself over this. He could not live without us, so he took sleeping pills and took his own life. I cry all the time for him. I am feeling very bad that I was unable to help him fight his disease. I just feel so empty knowing that our boys will no longer have a daddy to play with, or do anything with thier daddy ever again. Do you think they will be ok?

Thank you all for your answers they were all very helpful especially from freeandsimpl. As for stanitruk I'm not a loser and I do have a good life and a big family but when you're suddenly striken with a disease you become very vulnerabl and desparate and you will do anything to get back to your old self even for a day.

I noticed some scaring from a surgery on my chest about a week ago and realized I couldn't remember what I'd had surgery for. Throughout the next few days I realized by talking with my family i'm missing several years of memories right up to that day I saw the scars. The surgery was just a few months ago and I have no memory of it. I went to the beach last month and can't even begin to recall any of it and I only know my family and people I have known for at least 5 years. I've been examined for head injuries and have none which is great. Everyone I talk to doctor wise is in no hurry to pull out whatever is blocking my memories. The earliest appointment I could get is 3 weeks away but I can't work or function well like this. How can I take control of my treatment or am I just being anxious?

I wondered the other day why we get so involved with Yahoo Answers. I think its because when we answer the questions and get rated and then maybe get the "best answer" we are getting a form of validation. Connection with other people. A form of co dependancy if you REALLY want to stretch it. We get the feeling we have accomplished things when we get points for answering but we are running into walls because People, we're not WINNING anything!! Have you guys ever thought of this that way? Let me hear ya holla

I have tried a few dating websites & fixups by friends. I don't think I am being unreasonable in my belief that I can find someone, who isn't going to run the other way.

I work too much (70 hrs a week), have a child (not living with me), have been married twice, make plenty of money, and live in the Portland a very a beautiful city. I am bipolar and stable, I have been stable for a very long time, so I don't think that is really an issue.

I only want what every other women wants in a potential mate - employed, intelligent, loves cats, a moral person, does not want more childern, close to or older than my age (my age being 39), kind and thoughtful....... Is this too much to ask?

What am I doing wrong? Help, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know if I am depressed. I really don't have a reason to be sad (except the fact that I am a loner), but I am always feeling sad. Sometimes it is about something, other times I am just feeling sad. I cry myself to sleep at least 3 times a week. Sometimes when I am busy doing something, I all of the sudden feel like crying for no reason. I keep thinking about suicide, but I don't really think I would commit suicide. But no matter what I am doing, I can not stay happy. I am not sure if I am depressed, bipolar, etc. And I can't ask this question to my parents because they think I am perfectly OK and they wouldnt believe me.
And please don't put stupid answers, because I am serious and I don't like feeling this way.

My neighbor's tv/radio drives me crazy at night. its not as if she is blasting it but it is certainly loud enough for me to hear the vibrations and some thuds. I dont want to confront her just yet b/c she just moved in a week or two ago.

I want to invest in a nice little noise maker. What do you guys know about them. WHere can I get one and how much do they cost.........

What are other ways to just deal with it.......I need complete silence when I sleep unless it's my own noise. It's making me crazy. what the hell can i do

Usually I'm a very happy, outgoing guy, but lately I feel like I'm falling into deep depression. Everythings seems to be hitting me at once. I feel like I'm stuck in Drive and Reverse at the same time.
Recently my girlfriend's been really busy with school, work, then homework. I hardly see her any more. I feel like I'm in the way, I feel like I'm dying.
Dreams are really bothering me, "it's always raining inside my head" I've been trying to get rid of all these feeligns I've been having, I've been jogging incredible lengths lately, distances as far as 8 miles in one day, that's unheard of from a guy like me.
I think there's something really wrong. I'm just a decomposing matter on the side of the road...I try to do things to take the bad thoughts out of my mind. I feel trapped, and I want to scream. I'm starting college soon this fall, and I'm afraid I'll become into something I'm not. I'm so sick of myself. Help.

I need some serious help here. A good friend of mine is 33 and was dating a guy for 2 years. He broke up with her 15 months ago. He moved across the country with his new girlfriend, got engaged to her and eventually moved back. Now he and his wife-to-be live less than a mile from my friend.

My friend can't let him go. Here are the facts:
She reads his e-mail and blogs almost daily.
She reads the wife-to-be's blogs almost daily.
She looked them up online and drives by their new house.
She has been in therapy over a year.
She has tried anitdepressants.
She has not been on one single date since the break up.
She talks about him daily.
He has not contacted her since the break up.
He does not respond to her e-mails.

What can I do to get my friend to move on?! She's starting to drive me crazy, and I feel really bad for her. I don't understand how someone can be this obsessed over something that is over.

I just lost all of my self confidence. I lost a tennis match against a girl who is not very good. I feel like I am not good at anything. Please don't say something like "it will be ok", I know it helps most people, but I just don't feel good about myself at all. What should I do, I really need help!

I have an ultra-rare condition that causes me to randomly think of men's nmes, and which forced me to scream it out loud, type it, or communicate the name in any other way to the people surrounding me. JOHN!!!!!!!!!! If I do not communicate the name in 10-15 seconds, I will have a strange type of seizure that causes me to lose control of my bowels. That's right, I will poop in my pants. I have tried almost everything, including physical therapy, shock therapy, and even hypnotism. Please give me some kind of idea. MARK!!!!!! Also, please do not make dumb reccomendations like "wear a diaper". I have tried that before, and to tell you the truth, I would rather scream out random men't names than to have to poop my pants. It's also extremely emberrasing to scream a name in a crowded place like a subway or elavator, so I must find a solutio nto this problem. STEVE!!!!!!!!!!! Please help me. Thanks.

I have tried ear plugs, Sleep medications, running fans, etc..Even considered Soundproofing, which is really expensive!!!is there any type of therapy that some one can do to reduce sensitvity to sound? PLEASE HELP!!!
Not knowing what to do, but willing to try...

I'm 14 and for a while, probably since I was 10 (?) I feel like I have some sort of mental issue. Whenever someone is near me and eating or chewing gum and I can hear it in their mouth or just any other sort of small noises like tapping your feet or something like that, or seeing something out of the corner of my eye like someone chomping on gum again makes me very anxious and its frustrates me because I find it so unbelieveably annoying. Along with this, if I like scratch my ring finger cuticle on my left hand, i have to scratch all 9 others or else it feels so uneven. My older brother has ADD and my older sister has ADHD and bipolar disorder, and my grandma has OCD so I think there's a good chance I have something as well but I don't think my mom wants to believe that her one perfect child also has a mental illness. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on with me and how I can get my mom to believe me? (Also, she's a neurological nurse so she knows her stuff)
