Mental Health - September 2006

Sometimes I feel like my life is an out of body experience. I feel like I am watching my life go by from the sidelines. I am just going thru the motions. I feel like I have no control over anything in my life. I just nod my head and agree with everyone.....what is wrong with me? Inside I am crying and screaming to get out....but I just sit there......exist . Am I crazy?

I asked this before but no one answered and i need answers

I had a seizure about 8 years ago when I was 8 and I cant remember if my Mom told me, while we were having a conversation about it recently, if i died for a bit or something like that. I might be sounding retarded but im just curious. If you found out that you died for a little bit it would make you feel really... idk some weird feeling.

Like sometimes I reallllllly want to, then sometimes I want to but I just dont feel like it. Why all of a sudden do they just come on? I cut my shoulder all up tonight because I just had to...it was just an unexplainable need to cut myself. It barely bled and I put medication on it and now you cant even see it. But why? Why all of a sudden? I know I'm going through depression... But if I dont cut myself when I want to, I start to shake and go vrazy because I know I cant. I'm only 13..but still...

I love running, and I think it is the only thing I always am in the mood to do. Please read what I think causes this mental disorder or whatever it is, state of mind probably (but I get it way too often).

Every day, I guess what keeps me doing things is my curiosity, looking forward to things, increased stimuli in brain etc. If I attempt to accomplish something, and fail, or get mad about something, I will lose the interest in that thing, related things, and eventually everything, then I need something to renew my interest in life. What also causes this boredom/ADHD/depression/whatever is when I look forward to something in the far future, (weeks, months, years) and time is making me wait, making me do things I hate (school, work) until the time comes for something interesting to happen. When that happens, I lose the interest in anything that is before the special event, instead of happily, patiently waiting. I can't take it anymore, I don't want to do anything!!! (except physical)

Ever since I was a child, I've had a paralyzing fear of the dark. I literally get so scared I cannot move. I sense a presence always in the dark. I wouldn't call it a ghost or anything silly like that but I definitely feel something is with me in the darkness. For the past few years though, I have not had a problem wi this fear at all. Though I still feel the presence I was no longer paralyzed in terror. Then about 5 months ago, there was an incident where I awoke with the same fear but this time heard footsteps when I tried to get up, I could not move, as if I was being held down. After several moments I was able to move frrely and left feeling hysterical. I have not had even the sense of fear of the dark since that night until last night. Though I wasn't paralyzed this time I did once again hear footsteps and now I am experiencing this unhealthy fear even in daylight. Does anyone have any information on what this could be or how to treat it?

But I dont know why i do. All the time I see girls checking me out at school( about 5 different girls today). I guess I am attractive, but I don't really see why girls like me. Yeah it flatters me that they do but i guess I really dont think much of myself

Ok, i see my psychchiatrist every couple of months. I havent been there in a while and I dont want to go back to him. I think he is more concerned with my money and I only spend about a good 3 minutes in his office EVERY TIME. He asks me how I am, all while writing a new refill script for me.

Is this normal? Is he supposed to councel?

So today I made an appointment with a psychologist. I figured that even tho he cant write out scripts (which I dont take regularly anyway) he will do a little bit of counseling right? I dont know what to expect...

Can you help me understand this?

Right now the reason I'm asking this question is because can't sleep and I've been trying for the past two hours. I had to get up turn the computer on and post this question.

Please give me some advice on how can i go to sleep easily???
I am trying but I just can't do it! Then I will probably fall asleep like 3 or 4 in the morning which happens every night and in the morning I have such a difficulty getting up, I will open my eyes but the bed has a magnet or something it will pull me back to sleep! I am so frustrated what can I do???

I can't get up in the morning cuz of this... I will wake up like 12-3pm I hate it so much, I feel like my life's being wasted, but I don't wanna have to seek professional help, there should be other ways to treat this...

If you know or have been in my position before you will know what I'm talking about. Please give some good advice.

Your help will be much appreciated!

There are so many pretties in my classes and I find usual that i'm attracted to so many of them. For instance, today when my calc teacher was giving a lecture on tangents, I couldn't help but to glare at the cute girl next to me. My thoughts started wondering off fantasizing about making out with her in the bathroom. After that class, I went to see a student tutor to proof read an english essay. Gosh, she was a fox too! She was going off passionately on my commas and semicolons but all I could think of was how pretty her eyes were. I fantacized about giving her a wet french kiss! After that, I went to my english class only to find out it was canceled but this other girl from there too. She was cute, although not hot, but I definitely felt sexual attraction toward her. She's always smiling at me and this was the first time I talked to her. I noticed her She had a subtle Russian/European accent, then a host of dirties thoughts creeped into my head. Why do I feel this way about girls?

Can anyone tell me how I can help my friend? He is STILL having panic attacks at night, that he's too scared to sleep. This is causing him to fall asleep in class, but he tells me he's okay when he's not. I tried talking to the social worker, but he never opened up. Serious answers only please. Thanks.

I stay like this all day until night and then it leaves. I feel like I am going to go out of my mind. All I can do is pace the floors. The doctor has me on lexapro 20 mg and xanax XR 1mg. It seems to help a little bit but nothing completely gets rid of them until night. Does anyone have any ideas. I seem to have the Drs. stumped.
