Mental Health - August 2006

I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder years ago. All my life i've felt empty, depressed, and worthless. I've been cutting since i was 8, i'm now 26. I got married last year to a control freak who put me down all the time, we're seperated and now i feel 10000 times worse. I feel like a totally different person. Usually when relationships end, I could just find someone else to fill the void or be sexually promiscious, but I don't feel like that now. I feel homicidal, suicidal, and just really ready to give up. I'm going off into rages all the time, i'm agressive, and doing things that i've never done before. I used to be a huge animal lover and now I find myself hating animals, sometimes I swirve to the side of the road to hit and kill them, then I laugh about it. Also, I find myself crying about 90% of the day and i'm cutting to the point to where I know i'm doing it too deep but it excites me and kinda turns me on. When I masturbate, I think about choking people.

he's a great friend, there whenever you need him. he gets locked up for 7 mts, you and him write back and forth everyday, you go see him, etc....
when he gets out, you and him talk on the phone here and there, you see each other once in a while, but he only really calls when he needs a favor. before jail he wasn't like that. but he always says i love you, your like my sister.
is using, or just don't want anything to do with you, or what?

The workplace is full of gossips and backstabbing. I was not able to concentrate on my work. I once told my ex-colleague that moved to another branch for six months that she was lucky to get out of the hell. But then recently, I heard what I said was spread around and to make things worse, that becomes everyone's talk. They said I don't like them. I felt so pissed off. How am I going to do?

If he does not want treatment for his mental illness that is his choice, but keeping others from gettting treatment, but blatently spreading misinformation can be deadly to many people. Medication for the mentally ill saves lives and prevents suicide.

Being mentally ill or depresssed is not your fault. Doctors are there to help. Medication can help.

Is it possible for a bipolar who is compliant and has been taking their meds as ordered for quite some time to be "set off" by a physical stress such as getting over heated?

pnuemonia and have to be hospitalized too. Then the whole family says you did it because you just wanted attention yet the hospital puts you on the icu unit because you r so ill and then to top it off they call you a junkie because i am bipolar and have to take a lot of medications for that. Would you feel left out and abandoned by your family and friends because they tend to believe what they have been hearing. I feel so lost and lonely that i am on the verge now of a major manic downfall. I wish i weren't here can anyone help me out? I am so depressed

Her extreme emotional dysregulation and fears of abandonment have caused lots of problems in our relationship and for me, but I don't know if it will be helpful or destructive to tell her about this--I don't think she would take it well or accept it, but shouldn't someone be given this information? I'm 95%+ sure she either has BPD, or at least exhibits strong BPD tendences.

I was diagnosed with ADD a few years ago and I have a really difficult time with it. I know I'm intelligent and people will tell me the same. However I'm 25 and I've had a countless number of jobs already. My jobs are always well below my ability level and I work along side idiots. I confuse the hell out of my employers and co-workers because I come across as intelligent, but than my wandering brain inevitably causes me to do something boneheaded. I'm depressed because I'm always painfully aware that I am not living up to my potential. If you have ADD, how are you coping with it? Have you found ways to succeed at your career or school?

We are miles apart. His dad took him. He wants to come live with me and my husband, but it's a strain on us. He is unhappy where he is. His meds aren't working. His dad and his brother will be very upset with me if I encourage him to do anything other than stick it out where he is. My husband doesn't want him living with us anymore. He's 33 and was diagnosed at about 22.
