Mental Health - August 2006

I've been seeing my therapist for 8 mo's or so. I've been to a couple
other therapist over the last 12 yrs. This guy is very good and
he is really figuring out my trouble and sticking with it to get me
the help that I've needed. (I am bipolar)
I haven't mentioned a word of my intrusive thoughts to him. I do not want
to think about him at all other than being my therpist. However, the images keep comeing into my head. Not all the time, but still, too much. I keep trying to push off the thoughts. I do not want to lose my therapist. He is good. He has been nothing but professional. It is just my screwed up thinking. Has anyone else ever been in this situation? What did you do? Any advice? He is very smart and I don't want him to become aware of my thinking in this matter. I do not want him to suggest I see a different therapist - if that is what he would do. I don't even know. This hasn't happened b4. But I see him every week. Sorry, I can't explain any better.

Did you have severe ups and downs when first starting on Welbutrin? Did they level off after a while?

For as long as I can remember I have always thought about death. I wonder what would happen to my family if I died, I think about what would happen to me if my children died, what would happen if my husband died, what would happen if they all died at once. I think about family members dying. I wonder how I am going to die. I often wake up in the middle of the night with an overwhelming feeling that I was just about to die. I have been taking Wellbutrin for the past 2 months for depression. So I don't know if my depression has something to do with it. I didn't mention my obession with death to my doctor because it sounds crazy to me. I was hoping the Wellbutrin would help with that but it hasn't. It definitely has helped with my moods. I have a great life, no tragedies ever. So I'm not sure why for one why I'm depressed and for two why death/dying has become a constant thought in my head. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What are your reasons? Why? How do you deal with this? Is it due to social anxiety or something else? Thanks

Just wondering. I had a good childhood, but I can't understand why someone who is perhaps 30 years old still hangs on to their childhood and can't see that their life is going ok now. Or that they are out of that relationship and their happiness now depends on their actions.

Do you fell like their faults are a reflection on you. Do you feel like if a family member does something that embarasses you that other people will feel bad about you

O.k. I have a slight problem walking and cooridinating my left leg. It makes me not have a smooth walk like I did when I was 21. It is probably tghe result of doing drugs when I was younger in college. I always had girls back then. I do not do drugs anymore for 5 years and earned my degree and have a good job but I am so humiliated by having an akward walk now I do not ask any girls out anymore because I feel it is a huge turn-off for them and I am ashamed. Am I right in my thinking?

If you were planning to become a therapist, which type of therapy do you think you would be most interested in practicing? Is there a type of client/patient that you would prefer to treat? Is there anyone or any type that you would refuse to treat? I am talking in psychology field.

That people are nicer to you because you are not as nice to them. I found that when I started taking anti-depressants I started ignoring a lot of people and they started chasing me because I acted like I didn't care because with anti-depressants make it harder to get sad. The same people that walk all over me when I'm nervous and worried act just as nervous and worried and chase me around on anti-depressants or want to be my friend. Has anyone experianced that. In retrospect it makes me feel kind of crappy that people are like that and if I was born with a disability that makes me extra nervous when I'm normal that people will be mean to me because of it. Has anyone expeianced this or something similar? I think this is one reason I took drugs and despite what they say some people are nicer to you on drugs just because they may make you feel relaxed.
