Mental Health - September 2006

My father died a couple of years ago. Within the grieving process, I became depressed and my sex life became almost nonexistent. I got into negative thinking patterns surrounding sex: expecting to hear criticism, rather than enjoying my partner, constantly hearing "not good enough" even though it wasn't said, etc.

What is the best way to rebuild my sexual self-esteem now that the grieving process is concluded?

I just took some test on the internet, and it said the test strongly indicated that I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder.. I looked up the definition but I dont feel im that screwed up! Does anyone out there have this? How do you cope with it... What are some common symptoms in ENGLISH? Whats the difference with this and Schizophrenia? Again, I consider myself somewhat normal... haha

Has anyone heard of an antidepresant in shot form. I've been on various ssri, and they work, but i go off them or forget to take them and then get depressed and then overdose on pill and now my body wont let me take pills anymore. Its all in my head but i get totaly sick every time i swallow so much as a vitamin.

Anyway i heard that they have anti depressants ssri in shot form and was wondering if anyone on here had experance and what they had to say about them. Thanks.

why do we sometimes have to cry so hard we almost throw up?

I live in a family with three brothers, and both my parents, and I don't know why, but I just like exploded for no reason I can explain. My dad told me that my brothers were scared because they didn't know why I was crying and it wasn't just like little tears it was like screaming and heavy breathing. First time...weird.
And I know I'm not crazy because stupid "girls only" books always say "everyone goes through the same thing" or "you're all the same, even though you're different", so don't give me that.

thanks <3

I remember mine every time I go to sleep Some people dont remember their dreams.Had one b/f who was moaning and flitching in his sleep and I woke him up and ask him what he was dreaming,he said he wasnt, but I know he was. Some people just dont remember them.Is it because I could be on my last life and I dream so much cause I am dreaming of every past life I have been through?I know one life I died of a house fire.Someone went to go light the stove and forgot the pilot light was on and struck a match. I didnt have time to run,I turned and saw her strike the match.I saw a ball of fire and fell to the ground.I felt this sensation going up my body like being on fire. I woke upin a flash and instantly thought that is how I died before cause it felt so real.

I was diagnosed with an social anxiety and panic disorder. One therapist from the past believes I have PTSD. However, I'm not sure, because I always seem to get better, and my anxiety will start to decrease and I will honestly begin making plans to improve my life. However, when I speak to the parent who was very abusive towards me as a child, I immediately begin to have the severe anxiety and depression symptoms like clock work. Even my speech is effected, to the point where I begin to stutter as I did during my childhood, and can barely talk to this parent. My muscles also become very tense and I'm left sore the next day.

Afterall, if the severe symptoms only surface when speaking to this parent or other abusers. If I have no symptoms when staying away from these triggering people. is it really ptsd? Has anyone else experienced these drastic changes in mood and anxiety as well?

We are looking at different things that may affect the inpatient census on our geriatric psych unit (23 beds)
We have a goal of 80% occupancy which we have had, but August was down to 65% occupancy.

After your conversation with some type of therapist, how do they actually tell you what you have? And how do they begin to go about treating you? I'm going to find a doctor of some sort soon and would like some details before I go.

I want to start fresh, and don't want the opinions of a previous inexperienced therapist to affect the sessions I may soon begin with another therapist. I will eventually reveal the above, but I want the therapist to first get to know me as an individual.

I have not been diagnosed with a mental disorder, but I'm sure I have one. Sometimes I feel like I'm the center of attention when I'm walking around outside, and I get these immediate ideas of thoughts that people, especially strangers have of me, when I know they're probably not even paying much attention to me. I get extremely anxious when I have to speak to a group of people. Sometimes I get really nervous if I have to see someone for a one-on-one consultation or appointment of any kind, especially if I haven't seen them before. I have occasional automatic negative thinking cycles.
