Mental Health - August 2006

He smells, his teeth are all brown and breaking off~he smokes, the doc tells him to quit, says his lungs are full of 'gunk'.He won't quit. We have broke up because instead of wanting to live with me and my kids in a nice apt. he WANTS to live in a homeless shelter, telling me he wants to do God's work.He earns 50 bucks there.Meanwhile after I've been with him for three years, my kids (they are not his) and I are left without a lot of support. What kind of man prefers living at a homeless shelter? All I asked him to do was get a job and pay his share here. I pay the rent, utilities and food, plus drive him where he'd needed to go~he's been gone 32 days now and it's hard. I've looked up mental disorders....he fakes seizures for attention,when he was here, he would start fights, say sarcastic things and stare at me while I was sleeping. Scary! Any ideas???

my husband has battled nausea for years and thought it was smoking, low blood sugar, etc, but is beginning to suspect his meds since he has stopped smoking. Has anyone tried other anticonvulsants? do they work? less or more side effects? Thanks for any insights.

I'm sixteen years old and I currently suffer from all kinds of things. Worst are my almost unbearable mood swings, from ecstatic one minute to a pathetic emotional wreck the next. Little things set me off and I get stressed very easily. One thing can ruin my day. I've always been very moody, but it hasn't been until recently that I've noticed how much I worry, cry, and how much emotion I experience. At times the depression is a lot to deal with and all I can do is sit here and wish I wasn't alive (though I wouldn't say I'm suicidal).

I'm afraid to talk to my parents about it, as the relationship we have seems to be very superficial and fake. I'd like anyones' opinion on a specific disorder I may be dealing with, and this can go beyond the scope of Yahoo! Answers. I wouldn't mind chatting about it, emailing back and forth, whatever.

I believe it's a mood disorder, but I'm not sure what. I'm pretty sure I'm not bipolar, as I don't meet a lot of the symptons.

Thank you for your input.

Okay...so my aunt and uncle recently got their kids taken away by CPS 3 months ago due to a case of Munchausen by Proxy syndrome.
My family and I have been taking care of their children ages 8 and 6. We agree with the CPS that my aunt has munchausen, but she doesn't want to admit it! (my uncle agrees with her as well)
To make a long story short...we have not received any money whatsoever from my aunt or uncle for the children, and only receive $600 a month from the state (thats $300 per child) and we didn't start getting the $ until this month.
My aunt and uncle are claiming to spend their money on attorneys to fight the case! Meanwhile, we heard from family friends that they saw the two of them at BBQ's and boat rides and out to dinner.
Their parents don't even answer our phone calls!
We feel like we're being used! They don't call to see how the kids are!
It's like we're the enemies. What would you do in this situation!?
We don't know what to do anymore! We're stressed out!

Is it bad for you to drink one can everyday? I chug it, is that bad?
Is that how you spell "chug"? Is "chug" even a word?
Is it wrong of me to be addicted to this site?

I'm 22 and have terrible mood swings at times. One moment i can be alright and the next it's like a dark cloud is hanging over my head and everything seems bad. I am also very paranoid and feel like everyone is against me(including my family). I feel nervous most of the time and sometimes drink alcohol to calm my nerves. I have alot of anger inside me,that builds up but just keep it locked up inside. What's wrong with me?

Excessive paranoia that people hate me, deep depression, lack of motivation, no desire to talk, do things, or even work when the task is so simple i can complete it in under an hour. My grip on self control has loosened so much, it fell into the water and all i can do is dip my arm in and grasp around to find it.

My daughter has been hearing voices and seeing a little girl that isn't there. Her psychiatrist prescribed Abilify to help with the psycosis (sp?). He is giving her 2.5 mg every other day for seven days, 2.5 mg daily for seven days and then 5 mg daily after that. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has taken or is taking this drug. I haven't started giving it to her yet. I just wanted to get all the facts before I do.
