Mental Health - August 2006

For the past almost month and a half I have been having real bad panic/anxiety attacks. The first one I had I was at work and had no prior medical history or anxiety. And just like bam I didn't know what was happening. My heart started to race,had problems breathing, got the tingles in my entire body and worst of all I felt like I was going to black out. (Has anyone blacked out or passed out from anxiety?I have since had 2 more attacks the others as well have happened at work. I start a new job I had to quit my last job due to pride issues I got carried out on a bed. Now that I am starting a new job I need to try and be over this before it starts. I have had all the norm tests done EKG,Holter monitor 24hrs etc. I am on xanaax, don't like the side effects. I am going to see the Phy tommorrow. Once again any tips on how to overcome this would be great. Last part does anyone else feel as if they are going to pass out or has passed out. That is my biggest fear. Thanks for the help.

My psych precribes 150 mgs of Welbutrin XL and the copay is $50, I don't have that kind of money and there isn't a generic for it, but there is a generic for Welbutrin SR, that copay would only be $10 would that be a wise choice to ask my psych to switch from LX to the generic version of welbutrin

Dear all, I cannot change my behaviour, I have tried...but still, if i continue this way, i will destroy everyone around me. I take small things too much too heart and i make big problems out of small problems. i lose my mind, cannot concentrate and get heavy palpitations if someone i care about "hurts" me. what i really hate is when that person considers the issue minor while in my perception, it is something worth crying for, or running to my doc's to check my blood pressure because i get scared with my reaction although i know that my brain shouldn't allow these to happen. in the end, i look silly. and everyone's response is: you act impulsively and take everything to heart. still, i don't think my reactions are always like that of a crazy person. what happens to me most often is that i cry while other people(e.g.my boyfriend) laughs at me saying that it is silly. i hate the laughing part.He is a sadist then?!Ugh....

My boyfriend suffers from depression. He has been to social workers in the past, but he gets tired of them telling him what to do and feels they dont work. I happen to be a social worker myself, so please understand that he dosn't want me "social working him". Anyway, a few days ago, i noticed a bandaid on his wrist and saw the blood underneith. He told me in the past he used to cut himself. When i asked him that day if he cut himself , he said "no". Meanwhile, yesterday "out of the blue" he asked "you asked about me cutting myself a few days ago?" I said yes. He said "yeah, i did" He told me that he likes to do so and it just feels good when he does it. We are both 25 years old. Maybe it feels good because dosn't it have to do with endorphins being released? i think there is a biology component to the "feeling good" part, but im not sure. Ive been telling him to go back to a therapist but he keeps saying i dont think i want help. I wish he would go on meds.

My father is 63 and appears to be losing some of his wits upstairs. He has mood swings and my father was never a moody person. In addition, his behavior and rationale have gotten very erratic. E.g.: The police put out a bullentin of two men for sexual assault last month. My mother and I have recently discovered that my father has been getting up in the middle of the night and "patrolling" the streets looking for these two individuals. Keep in mind my father is not in the best of health (he has a heart problem, diabetic, is majorly overweight and has a problem with his knee going out here and there). The man that raised me is slowly diminishing and I really don't like the person that is appearing before me. I'm too embarassed to go out in . I've mentioned it to his doctor, but the doctor has not done anything or given any advisement as what to do. Does anyone have suggestions or is there anyone who has or is experiencing this currently with a parent? Serious answers needed.

I've restricted food in the past, exercised in the past and even binged and purged. I think for the most part I've (with help) have gotten all that under control however I've noticed that when I'm stressed (even just a little) I often turn to food. Then feel god awful later when the stress has been resolved. Is this a form of an eating disorder also? Any suggestions to help alleviate or ideas were this stems from?

I have been advised by a few people to go and see someone, because I have been really low for quite a bit. I assume the place to go is just the doctors, but I don't know what to say or anything.

Can someone please give me some advice,

I just started up in college again last Tuesday. I take enviornmental science and math as a decision making tool every tues/thurs. Ever since last Tuesday when I started my math class I have been kind of skeptical about staying in it. We do alot of pretty hard stuff and it requires alot of thinking. I'm really bad at math and I have anxiety about going in to get help from tutors. I also don't like the fact that later on in the semester we have to create a poster about a famous mathmatician and then present it to the class. That scares me. Tomorrow will be the fourth day of the class (2nd week) and I just don't know if I should stay in it or switch to Biology. I have to have 7 more credits in the science/math field in order to get my Associate of Art's degree. Should I just stick it out or switch into Biology. Another thing that worries me is that if I switch to Biology it might end up being harder and we might have to do a presentation in there as well. What should I do?

They had cancelled 2 of my questions. These are serious questions that I would like feedback on. I am dealing with a horrible situation and I want to know what people have to say about it. It seems to me cheaters get away with everything. Mabey that's why so many people are unfaithful these days.
