Mental Health - September 2006

I suffer from anxiety and depression, so I have a hard time with every day life, much less the wedding plans. BUT her finance's family is being so great - buying her dress, cake, flowers, etc. I really feel left out, but know in my condition I can't do much. I live 12 hours away, they live closer. THEN within a month my daughter and son-in-law will be moving in with his parents. I am very happy for them, but extremely sad for me!

For the last 5 years I have grown an increasingly troublesome fear for the physical interactions of greeting and leaving people. This has become so bad that sometimes I choose not to go out to avoid physical interaction. One recent example is a girl (only friends, she has a boyfriend) I play music with, we have only hung out 5 times but the last 4 times I have given her a hug when we greet and when we depart. I then dwell on the appropriateness of this hug, and honestly fear seeing her again because of this. I have this same problem with friends and co-workers (men and women alike). It is not that I fear the social settings, I love hanging out and talking with people, and once the physical interaction is over I'm fine (although right before we depart I start building anxiety). I was wondering if anyone else has this problem, could anyone offer me advice for this, and is this fear normal or should I seek help? Thanks

He had a fling a few weeks ago and now I have twice found that her number has been rung from our home phone but he totally denies it, says the phone is malfunctioning. Also I was having trouble logging onto the internet but when he tried it was fine, when he was out I realised he had unplugged the modem, so I plugged it in and the computor connected, I left it unplugged before he came home, and this morning said I was having trouble again. He connected ok and I checked, and the modem was plugged in again. He denied this too and said I was going crazy. Is there a condition which would make him do this? Has he had a breakdown? Please help.

Aren't taking drugs or drinking too much just as bad or worse for your body than a few little scratches on your arm?

i got married at the age of 16 and had my first born at the age of 16 too,since i married young and had a family young i lost all of my friends because i stoped partying, drinking, acting wild and going out.
for years i felt complete just by having my family members around, i still feel very happy and greatful to have my family, but i am starting to feel that i need to make some friends,i feel lonely, people always take a liking to me but i am scared to take the next step, it is very hard for me to socialize and carry on a conversation, what should i do to become less shy and more outgoing and more confidant?

I´m really getting concerned about, is it normal to have this close relationship with a psiquiatry? or do they have a crush? is she really trying to help him or just taking advantage? I don't like the situation... he calls her to get his pills bought, to ask her to extra appointments when he feels depresed (she never says no), and now she invited him to a 3 day weekend yoga and meditation group followed by an extraordinary appointment this week to work his issues, is really necesary?

I've tried everything, including prescriptions they only seem to make it worse. I've been to doctors and sleep centers. They just write a prescription. The nights I can actually dream seem to be a better rest, than those nights without dreaming. I am going bonkers with sleep depravity. Please give me a some help.

Comedians and musicians use their right brains optimally , Or do they? is wittiness and sense of humor and musical inclination and instrumental skillfulness has a hemispheric localization? Science is telling us that the brain is like a muscle, that can be trained, it also increases in mass, over time, as we practice musical instrument or do anything that exerts brain power, If so, is there any hemispheric asymmetry in the brain of a musician or a comedian, or a artist, compared to people with, say, more analytical or mathematical jobs, like an accountant?

I know "letting your hair down" is an expression, but is it normal to actually fear letting your hair down and avoid doing so at all costs? Is it normal for a girl to worry about losing her hairband or clip and so she carries extra with her all the time? To feel completely uncomfortable and anxious when her hair is not tied back?

This is a completely serious question.
