Mental Health - September 2006

I had depression since last year and through to arpil 06.
I had to pretend i was ok form that point because my mum and nan thought i was faking it. I had counselling appointments for about 6 months, and i had to stop them because i could deal with my mum and nan.
Now i am feeling really bad and wish i kept going to the appointmetns. I have paranoia, i am feeling really down, hate the way i look, hate everything about myself.
I cant go and see my doctor because he wont put me on medication and i cant have another counselling appointment because i have to pay for them unless my mum knows, which i cant tell her.
Im in a real mess here, i dont know what to do.
If anyone has any advice please help me.

And please dont ramble on about religion. If god was real he would have helped me.

She is 26 years old and claims she has not had medication or therapy in years and was born with bi-polar. She uses her bi-polar as an excuse to be rude and mean to her kids and others. Is it possible to be bi-polar without medication or is she uses it as an excuse to be a witch?

I was diagnosed as clinically depressed upon my release from a psychiatric hospital in 1999. I also got a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder from two major car accidents in five months. After doing some research online, I feel that I fit much better in other diagnosis categories, including bipolar/manic depression, borderline personality disorder, and a bunch of other personality disorders. I am currently on a break from cognitive behavioral therapy (it's called schema) due to a move, and I take 100mg of Zoloft. Anytime I've been on meds, it's only been one type, and it helps for a while but then wears off. Zoloft has been pretty good to me, I've been on it for well over a year and have felt more level for the most part. But I still have these horrible highs and lows, and I have alot of suicidal thoughts, which while I don't feel that I'm suicidal is annoying to have pictures of you killing yourself in your head all the time.

I am trying to get rid of my ex. I have tried to say goodbye and have a good life. He said do not say goodbye to me. He has given me the ultamatum deal with my life or break up with me. How do I just get him to move on and leave me alone. It is a safety issue. I am scared of him and his anger. I just want to heal and move on. He brings out the worst in me. He makes me feel really depressed. It is hard to explain, but when we have a really bad fight I excallate to the point where I get really depressed.

People may say this is under my control, but I feel that he is bad for me and part of the solution to me being healthy is to have him out of my life.

How do I help him move on and go to some other woman? He wants me still, but has a deep anger for me.

I have been taking Lexapro for almost a year. I initially gained weight which wasn't unexpected but I can't seem to lose it even after this amount of time. Also, I am noticing alot of short term memory problems and word finding problems. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

It has been my experience that there are certain "types" of people that the world as a whole would be better off without. I have guilt about these feelings, but I can't help it. I have been burned and burned and burned again and again by certain groups. I keep giving these people the benefit of the doubt, and they keep reinforcing my prejudice. "Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me". I am sick of being burned. What can I do to be a better person in this regard. I'd rather not be a bigot but SHEESH!!! The preponderance of evidence is overwhelming!

Whenever I have a dispute with someone, I tend to have trouble paying attention to what yhey're trying to say. And it's difficult for me to speak my side of the story. Then after it's all over, I remember the things I was supposed to say to make my point. Unfortunately, it's too late by then, and I've already made a fool of myself. Is there something wrong with me? Rude remarks will be reported, so don't even go there! Thanks!

Saying that they did not say certain things?
Saying that they did not do certain things?
Like for example they did not thow an object that they set it down?
Using as soft and fake voice?
Asking for forgiveness?
Telling someone to put thing in the past and forget about them?

Saying it is not abuse because they did not strike the person?
Telling the person that they should not be affraid there is nothing to be affraid of?

Having rage that boils over to the point that the where the person is shaking and the person is grinding his teeth.

Blaming others for his problems. Saying he needs things and then not doing them to help himself.

Threating to lie in the future so it does not cause conflict.

Please tell me which if any of these are patterns of abusers. Please do not number them. Just say which one if any.

I am trying to understand abuse that is not the typical beating or physical kind.

Any help in understanding this would be great.

hello, I am really down in the dump today, I do have depression and I am not on any medication, I tried some before but it didn't work and I don't want to have to depend on meds, but it seem's latley I am gonna have too, because im getting suicidal again.

Today is really bad, not sure why, or what triggered it, but I feel just ****** horrible, and frankly I am getting so sick of it! Why can't I just be happy, I have no reason too be upset, I am with a great man, escaped my abusive husband a few years ago, i feel like im moving on about the death of my mother, I have a good paying job, work long hours, but get paid well. But I still think of all the negative stuff, guilt, pain, paranoid, I turn too booze for release, lost all friends, dont want to talk to anyone..ugh i hate it. Death seem's to be my only escape..Why can't the pain just go away, I want to be normal again. Sorry this wasnent really a question, just needed to vent, i hope someone can understand this sh*t.

These people say the same things over and over. I know that is the function of the disease, but when that thing is something really hurtful it is hard. My anunt keeps insulting my hair color. I realize it is pointless to tell her to stop because she will not remember it anyway. This is what she thinks. She does not like that it has turned brown over age. I guess that in her eyes that is less caucasian than the blonde it used to be when I was a child. Personally I love having dark brown hair. I get many complements on it. It is natural and it is me. I am just happy with what I get I guess. I just work with what it is and make it beautiful.

When my grandmother had alzheimers come on all kinds or horrible racist things started comming out of her mouth. I guess that is just what happens when people lose control of their inhibitions with a brain injury or with Alzheimers. What do you think?

Does anyone know about this issue of the brain and lack of inhibition?
