Mental Health - August 2006

From happy to being angered in a matter of moments, fits of rage-breaking things & feeling sorry after the fact, blaming everyone else for his anger and never taking responsibility for his actions or behaviours...does not want to seek help for his problems...That kind of thing. Thanks for any help. (I was just wondering)

I'm 13 right now and I've been in public school for 2 years in one town. The rest of the time before this, I was homeschooled for 5 years. I didn't know anyone and missed out on alot of life, and I felt really alone. And we moved out of the town I've been in for 2 years, and my parents are dragging their feet on putting me back in school. It's really making me nervous, and they know it. It all really breaks down to being afraid of being alone like I was, feeling like I had no one to talk to and nothing to do. Homeschool in my parents eyes is staying home, 'round the clock, and no sociality. I don't think that they're going to homeschool me again, but I don't want this summer to last any longer than it has to. The reason they're dragging their feet is because we're supposed to move when we get the money, and in my family, "when we get the money" is a very difficult thing to say is easy to do. It's really confusing. What can I do to console the feeling of loneliness until I'm in school?

I been so crazy, about what to do latley.. I got precribed lexapro and Xanax... I have been taking the Xanax not everyday but when needed.. it makes me very sleeply but does help clam me down.. The lexapro, i try that on Saturday and sunday morning woke up feeling dizzy, high, and sick to where i was throwing up!!! I decided not to continue the Lexapro becuz i just can not help feeling that way.. I'm going to see a psy on the 28 of this month, and I was wondering if i should even be on meds.. My question is how many people have sucessfulity went to a psy and got help without Medication??? Is medication really needed... I keep thinking should i get on a lower dose of lexapro and see if that helps, cuz i try the 5mg.. Or should i seek help and just use Xanax when needed.. I wanted some advice from people who are in my situition and know some things.. Thanks

I was diagnosed with severe depression, BPD, and ADHD when I was 15. The last time I was treated for depression was 5 years ago. I was living in Arizona 8 months ago and I while I was there I became addicted to meth, went to jail, was homeless, etc. So I moved to another state so I could get my life back on track but I ended up homeless again.
I met an amazing man and he took me off the streets and got me clean. I've now been clean for over 3 months, I am in love and things are going great for me but I for reason I feel horrible most of the time. I feel very anxious, guilty, depressed and scared all at once. I'm having horrible mood swings. I can't stop thinking about all the bad things that happened in Arizona. At night I am either extremely tired or I can't sleep at all. I've always been depressed but I never felt any of these other things until recently. What is wrong with me???

I am bi polar and I am learning to cope with things. In therapy I have seen people have mild cases where just therapy and light medicationis all they need and on the other hand I have seen it where people are so far gone that they dont even live in real live anymore. It scares me I want to know what other resources that I and support groups that are out there that I can do on my own? I am seeking therapy at this time.

I was wondering if I am depressed or bipolar. My friends have been complaining about me lately and asking if I was.

I took a quiz thing for depression and I have a lot of the symptoms. I stay in my room most the day. I don't have much of an appitiet. I sleep WAY to much. I have mood swings. Sometimes I am sooo hyper and happy but then I am crying. I am really socially isolated. And a lot more that I can't think of right now.

So am I? I haven't done any research on Bipolar anything, so what is it? Thanks in advanced for your comments.

Before you even start reading this post know 3 things.
1) I do not in anyway support child molesting, in fact i find it pretty darn sick.
2) I want you to think about forgiveness, even if you think you can't
3) I am Christian and proud of it, Bless the Lord.

Many of us have debated on is what exactly do child molestors deserve as a consequence for their appalling actions towards our sweet children. I do have a 8 year old daughter of my own and love her very much and it's very hard for me to say this, but God forbid if she were to be molested I think i would have to forgive the molester. I do admit i will feel haterd and anger towards the person that hurt my daughter. I would think about hurting the person. But thinking through this more, don't you think that they deserve a another chance. Now im not saying we don't report it and just let the molester slide. But we have to let the authorities do what they feel is just. What you might think is that it is only just that these monsters.

ive been depressed for as long as i can remember, & no1 has ever cared about how I felt. Me & my mom never get along & my sisters only think about her &say i should treat her better meanwhile she treats me like ****. Ive been feelin empty & dead & the sunlight that comes thro my window is the only thing that makes me feel alive. I cry myself to sleep & those tears let me know that i DO have feelings & their heartless. I cant even look in my moms eyes without gettin flashbacks of the times i was left aside like a doll she got tired of. My head never stops runnin, the echo's in my head just get louder, "ur stupid grow up stand still." lil does she know my bodys fallin apart. i feel so alone & i cry myself to sleep everynight wishin i dont wake up the next mornin. my b/f's there time to time but even him is startin to get tired of me always bein so depressed & angry, & i even feel like im pushin him aside, the best thing thats happened to me, cause he doesnt deserve this. i duno wat to do

I'm afraid to tell this to anyone I actually know, so maybe here...
I like doing something crazy, but I'm also scared out of my mind that I do this. There's a tree in a field some distance from my home. Nobody ever comes by this place, and it's well protected from local roads, etc. I like to go there when I'm alone during the day with some ropes. Then I throw the ropes over a couple of tree limbs, take off my clothes, and stretch myself out, tied with slip loops around my wrists. I stand there for about 15-20 minutes, struggling against the ropes and imagining that I'm being violated.
I don't know how to explain this. It feels wonderful, but also scary. I'm shaking just thinking about it. What if I ever get caught????

WHAT AM I DOING????????

I can usually get free within a couple of minutes, once I really try.

Sometimes I feel like I need a larger dose of ativan because I'm no longer feeling anything with the 1mg, 2-3x a day that I'm currently on. I also feel depressed a lot and I still experience insomnia. I've read about xanax XR. Since the medicine is released in the body all day long, would this be a better choice for me?

He cannot work a regular job as sleep pattern is erratic so when he is meant to sleep he can't but when he is not supposed to sleep he feels really tired. Very talented in computer engineering but feels not worthy to charge for work as not qualified. Very talented electrician but again not qualified nor feels worthy to take an exam. Wears scruffy clothes all the time with new ones sitting in his drawers unworn as he feels it is a waste to use them. Yes he has no self worth but will not see anyone about it. When ill will not seek any medical attention.
He is the loveliest and kindest person in the world so I would like to help him to help himself to earn a living. At the moment his parents help him out as he will not sign on as unemployed for all the above reasons and because of his aspergers syndrome.
What do you suggest he could do for a fee paying job please?

Thinking back, I was a hyper child in school. Never was given medication but was punished when I acted up. (whipping). Now when some children with alot of energy become restless in school, or a mother can't control them, they are taken to a doctor. Doctors perform a theroized test on them and say they are in need of meds to slow them down. I really think this is a crock. Do you think it is necessary? And yes, I have researched this before asking. I want to know what you think.
