Mental Health - September 2006

People at school ask me sometimes why i am so quiet. Most of the time i reply "i don't really have much to say" or something like that. I can't really think of much to talk about with people my age. Most of the time i just like sitting and listening to other people talk because i literally have nothing to say. I think some people think i am snoby or crazy or something because people just ignore me in some of my classes.

What is wrong with me? Do i have a social disability or something? Or some type of illness? I don't think i am just "shy" because i have no problem talking i just can't think of anything to say or i don't feel like saying anything.

Does anyone have similar take on this. If this someones answer to this question, does it have any significant phycological value.

Is the glass half empy or half full.

Well its all on how you got there, If you were filling the glass and stopped halfway it would be half full.
If you were empying a full glass and stopped halfway it would be half empty.

Could this determine that you were neither optimistic or pessimistic?

I'm seeing a therapist right now.. and its seems like I am more aware of my problems, but really seems as though my friends know me better than her. And I guess what I tell the therapist is baised, like if I say only certain things to her. How do I know that I'm not building a lie for myself everytime I emphasis a few points to her? Its like an analogy of a sane person becoming insane after talking to a few shrinks and take a few drugs and "treatments".

A lot of mental hospitals have been shut down over the last few years. Does this mean that psychiatrists are more proficient these days? Is mental illness on the wane?
Are most of the so-called 'sane' people of this world really sane, or are they just cleverly hiding their madness?

Okay so I go to a scool where there are 5 boys some that are gay and some that are just mean or un-attractive. I recently had a crush on a boy who was 10 years older then me I use to fantasize working together etc.. When reality hit and said that he was too old, I had this wired feeling after I decided just to be single. Well I then started thinking as a joke that I was lesbian. But then it started bugging me, because when I look at men I can't fantasize anymore. I have these moment where I can then I just don't.

i was just sitting on a bench after about two hours of intense studying. then all of a sudden two girls walked up to me and started talking to me about god and how i'm the one and all this crap. i finally told them after like 5 minutes that they were freaking me out and that i was going to leave. but now that i think about it, there could have been a strong possiblity that i imagined the whole thing. the only way i can tell that this experience was real is that i now have a pamphlat that they gave to me. that's the only way that i know it was real. what do you guys think? or do you think that it was just a bunch of hippie chicks that are total pyschos?

He said over the years the urge has grown stronger, he said he is not attracted to females or males just transexuals from a young boy. He doesn't understand this. Anyone else feel this way and cannot discuss personal feelings with loved ones?

Many people have told me I'm a psychopath, not just on Yahoo! Answers but also in real life. Based on the types of questions I've asked, am I really a psychopath?

I don't think I'm a psychopath. I am normal and my thoughts are normal too.

I am a panic disorder patient, my panic attacks started after a cycling accident. I hit the ground hard on my left shoulder, braking my coller bone, and dislocating my shoulder under my chin," I was not wearing helmet at the time". I was not treated for my panic disorder, for 9 years, I didn't even know what panic disorder was at the time. I was finely sent to a doctor who told me what was wrong, he put me on Xanax, and the attacks stoped. I became a student of mental illness, I can remember reading about an experiment, where test subjects were given a drug that induced panic attacks. The test subjects were people who had no prior history of mental illness, I think the drug inhibited GABA in the brain. I can't seem to be able to find the web page that describes this experiment. I want to find this, web page so I can print it, and add it to all of the other information I have on panic disorder. Does anyone know where I can this information?

If you know someone who is mentally ill, and needs help immediatly how do you get the person to the family doctor to be checked out. This person is either going through a breakdown or is paranoid, the person is constantly making things up in his head. If you are talking about something completely different the person thinks you are talking about themselves. The person is also attacking people now with vicious words and is quite agressive. Everbody is walking on pins and needles. Whats the next step is anyone knowledgeable in this field.

I was molested at the age of 5 (25 years ago) by a friend's 16 year old brother. (something I never told even to family and friends) He shoved my head down on him. Every time I'm in an intimate relationship, I always have to explain that I won't go down on him and I will when I'm ready. As hard as I try, that time never comes. Eventually they get frustrated, the intimacy is no longer there and eventually we break up. I have tried and it just disgusts me even though it comes naturally for normal people. I want to do it but I gag when I try. Has anyone ever been through something like this? What have you done that will help? It was a very long time ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday.
