Is it possible for a man in a relationship, in love with his female partner, to still fantasize about and want her to have sex with another man in his presence?

My mother had a mild stroke in January and the stress of taking care of her took it's toll on me and I had a panic attack. My doctor put me on effexor xr (anti-depressant) just to relieve some of the pressure.

Last month, my Grandmother, who was my favorite person in the world, died from the West Nile Virus. I numbed up during her sickness - trying to remain strong for my family. The pain was just too real for me to feel it.

It will be a month ago tomorrow since she died.

I don't cry often. I sleep a lot, and find myself staring into space. The things that use to interest me, don't anymore. I don't talk a lot. A doctor friend of mine said that she thinks I am clinically depressed at this point and she thinks I should seek help.

I am not sure if I am just grieving differently or if I am still numb. I have been through a rough year. So, my question is, is it normal to feel this way after a close family member dies suddenly? Or should I be seeking help after just a month?

Oh, by the way, I am 27.

I work as a nurse. I see death and dying every day. It causes me a great deal of stress. I am questioning the whole point of dragging out the inevitable. The problem is that I spent a lot of money on my education, and I have to support my children. This is all know how to do.

Why do some people feel they need to tell some one OF ANY AGE, TO GROW UP, when they speak of mental illness? If it was someone with CANCER, HEART DISEASE, or DIABETES or any other medical issue, YOU WOULD NOT TELL THEM TO GROW UP OR GET OVER IT!! What is wrong with you people that feel you should say such ignorant things to others with mental health issues?

And it won't do you any good to tell me I don't know what I am talking about, I live with family members that have mental illness. You don't know what people deal with, UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN IN THEIR SHOES!!

NOTHING TO MAKE FUN OF!! LET'S SEE YOU MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE WHO HAS ANY OTHER MEDICAL ILLNESS & TELL THEM TO GET OVER IT, GROW UP!!

Shame on anyone that has made fun of any other person with mental illness, IT IS NOT A MADE UP MEDICAL ISSUE...IT IS REAL!!! Just as any other medical issue!!!

To those who have negative things to say about mental illness, ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO GROW UP!!!

~PEACE~

When you are distant with people close to you, and you unconciously ignore people close to you, (bf/gf) do you try and make up for it when you come out of the episode? Or do you just act like nothing happened, and go back to normal?

How can I go about finding a good psychiatrist or psychologist? I'm in a college town, so the psychology department (graduate) offers help, but I don't know how good that would be? Would a regular doctor know the best place to go?

My husband and I are unemployed right now due to different circumstances (not laid off). We used what LITTLE savings we had to pay the bills last month, now we dont even have enough to pay our rent. He just started a new job and I have started looking last week. My landlord is on our back, rightfully so, but now we have NO income coming in due to him having to wait for the money and I am still looking. I feel HORRIBLE not being able to pay the bills, I know itll be ok soon. but I feel so DISGUSTING right now. Anyone been through the same thing, how did you relax and focus, because I kept bursting into tears. Any ideas of what I can do while I look for the job. **sigh**

I got caught shoplifting about 2 weeks ago. I go to court on Oct. 3rd. I'm very sorry for what I did and I also did it about 5 years ago and got caught. I must not be very good at it. Both times I have done it I got caught. I am Bi-Polar and I think that is most of the reason I did it. I didn't even need what I was stealing. I am always doing and saying things without thinking of the consequences. (Example: going on vacations that I cannot afford) I have discussed this with my doctor on several occasions over the past 10 years, and am taking 5 different antidepressant and anxiety medications. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! I NEED HELP!! Should I tell my employer what trouble I am in?
