Mental Health - September 2006

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac & fearful of STDs. I am on the pill, & we want to have unprotected sex.

It's not an issue with HIM, it's w/ anyone, I'm just afraid of catching something. I would feel this way w/ anyone, I felt this way w/ my other boyfriends also (although we didn't have unprotected sex).


I thought maybe if we get married, I would get over it, but we already live together & even then how do I know for sure he couldnt cheat 1x (which I could forgive, but not the STD!) & bring home something.

Again, it's not a trust issue, I trust him, but I just can't enjoy or relax thinking about this. He is understanding to a point but even after married I think I would be afraid to have unprotected sex, I'm just terrified of AIDS. Also I would feel guilty marching my b/f down to the clinic to be tested every 6 months (and even that is not 100% reliable) What can I do?

I have taken medications and they make me unable to function and sometimes very sick, does anyone know what to do or who to talk to about this? My doctors answer is more meds but there has to be a better answer.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder about 2 years ago.
I haven't really been to counseling or therapy yet.

For a while I refused to use medication so I would self medicate with any drug that I could get my hands on.
Well about a month ago I took some bad drugs and almost died. ever since then I can't handle the intensity of it anymore. I have panic attacks. so now i am clean and on medication. well just Topamax for now.

Well my real concern is I have been hearing things. I use to hear things before I ever touched drugs so I know it isn't because of the drugs, but I just don't know how serious it is. Does hearing whispering or screaming like in your head count as hearing voices? lol i know it seems kind of stupid but i get extremely scared.
I also feel like there is someone standing behind me or like there is someone that is about to touch me, and i turn around and there is no one there. i am constantly turning around and looking behind me. should i tell someone?

Is there anything I could do that would help me sleep. Im 17, and it's really starting to affect me. I know I should see a doctor, but I was wondering if there is anything else I can do? I exercise for two hours a day, so I should sleep easily.

My best friend, my dog, died of old age. I usually just go to pieces when I lose a pet but this time I didn't. Is it because I am on prozac?? I feel like a robot with no emotions and I don't think its right. Has anyone gone through this???

due to the fact that during our first year together, I thought we were a couple (he was somewhat deceitful). He considered us to be dating and dated a few other women at the same time ( I didn't find out about this until a year later). As a result there is a major discrepency. I say we were together 3 years and he cheated. He says we have only been together for 2 years and he never cheated because we were only dating the first year. Now I am obsessed with what he's doing, where he's going , who he's with, are women going to be there, where he's been, what his plans are. I don't call often but I constantly think about calling. I spend hours going through cell phone bills and categorizing them according to the longest calls, the latest calls, and the most called numbers. From there I do internet searches to find name and make calls to find out which ones are women! Nothing has ever panned out. This obsession has consummed my time, thoughts and my life. What is this?

I've been having the most bizarre thoughts in the past 3 weeks. I hate to say this, but I'm really looking for help, I've been having thoughts of murders and killings and I don't know how to stop them. Last week was the worst of all! I would wake up with these thoughts and walk the streets with these thoughts. And I know in my heart that I would never perform such acts but the more I think about them, the more real it seems to me. Is this a form of OCD, anxiety or what? I'm trying my best to stop these thoughts but just when I think I'm relieved from them, it starts back up all over again. What should I do?
