I work with a few and wonder how many others work with these people, are you nice to them? I have no problems with people that are mentally challenged, but I wonder how others deal with them. I think they are nice people.

I was on Celexa for almost 4 months. It worked well for the issues I was taking it for, but caused anorgasmia. So I asked to be switched to Wellbutrin SR, which has a low occurance of sexual side effects. I've been off the Celexa for over a week, and taking the WB for a week. I don't have any of the listed side effects of the WB, nor do I feel like it's doing anything for any of my issues. It lists insomnia as a major side effect, which is why I shouldn't take the 2nd dose after 6pm. But I feel more tired, not more awake. I don't feel more energetic, either.
Is this just going to take a while to build up and kick in? The Celexa worked right away. I don't like feeling the way I'm feeling, when I'm taking medication and it's not helping.

I take 600mg of Seroquel and 1500mg of lithium each day for Bipolar Disorder. I'm tired of feeling like a zombie and my memory is shot. I just don't like the way I feel anymore. My doctor says that this is the best drug combination for me. Any ideas anyone?

I want to quit xanax. I have only used if off and on for a little less than a month. I only take it when I am experiencing unbearable anxiety, and cannot calm myself. I think I need a different drug, I don't really like feeling high as a kite. Is valium better, and not addictive? My psychaiatrist prescribes xanax like candy and he seems loathe to consider other options. I am only taking .50mg. It is prescribed 3x daily, but I never do. Only once or rarely twice. I feel no addiction, but I want to stop before then, or is it too late?

I'm currently an intern working at a residential facility with abused and/or neglected girls. The two clients I am seeing right now are ages 15 and 16. One was sexually abused, one was abandoned by her mom and has self harming tendencies. I started them both on "visual journals" and presented it to them as a way to draw and paint their feelings rather than write them (the 16 year old is cognitively like a 4th grader and is not very verbal). What other art therapy techniques can I use in session?

I work with this woman daily on company accounts for two years.

When I got the job, I was warned that she is “difficult” and that the position is hard to fill because no one wants to work with her.

She snaps at everyone, hangs up on people, slams doors and phones and complains all of the time.

I have to walk on eggshells when I am around her, I never know what might “set her off.”

I don’t know if its menopause, but I think she might have a mental disorder, like bi-polar.

She has really wild mood swings and takes no medication.

She gets annoyed and irritated at everyone and everything.

I knock on her door before I go in so she doesn’t get mad, and she writes me this email about how when I knock on the door it drives her crazy and I need to stop immediately.

I can never predict what will make her mad, I try to watch my every move, but somehow she is always crazy mad about something.

How do I deal with her?

I have a pretty good life, but I often find myself feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. Sometimes I get depressed for no apparent reason and feel that life is not really worth living (don't get me wrong, I would never commit suicide). I just always feel that life is such a burden. How do I get to living a life that I am happy with? Is there any way for me to change my outlook on life?

Let me elaborate! From the age of eleven i started smoking marijuana (call it peer pressure or what you will), from there it escalated to amphetamines, ecstacy, cocaine, that not being enough i started to empty my familys medicine cupboards, taking everything from chlorapromazine to kapake to buspar to amptytriptiline (the spelling might not be spot on), the list went on, it reached a climax when my body shut down at the age of about 20 & had to be revived at my local hospital. From then i've seen the errors of my way (i take the occasional drink) but with the damage already done i now suffer from various illnesses which effect my day to day life along with various mental problems depression, anxiety etc. I'm now 25, been going with a girl almost 4yrs, gettin myself qualified to a professional level in PC maintenance/repair, things are on the up but i still feel withdrawn from society, i find it hard to leave the house & i have this overall feeling of dread, will it ever go away?

Lately there is construction going on around our apt complex and for the past few days they are working 20 feet from my window and literally start hammering and buzzsawing at 6:30 am. Due to this I get little sleep at night and feel tired, have headaches, and just feel like I need to fall asleep but I can't... Now they have moved like 30 feet away so it is .5 decibels quieter lol. What should I do to get a good night's sleep? I was thinking of popping a couple benadryl's and putting cotton balls in my ears. Would that help?
