Mental Health - September 2006

It happened to me and my girlfriend acted like she didn't even know me..really cold. I had to tell her because I was gone for a week. I've lost a few other friends that found out. The problem is that now I am scared to talk about any of my problems with anyone. It seems to be a bad move to me...can anyone relate?

I have been diagnosed with bipolar type I, which I understand has hallucinations and is more extreme than bipolar type II. I know the symptoms that every website lists for bipolar- increased energy, decreased need for sleep, etc...for mania and decreased energy, feelings of hopelessness or guilt, etc...for depression. What I'm looking for is individual experiences with this disorder. For example, I get really involved in things like painting, then feng shui, then collecting several different things, then geneology, then physics, etc... when I'm manic. I switch from one thing into a completely different thing and completely lose interest in the thing before. Does that make sense? I know that each person's experiences will vary, but I would like to hear about behaviors besides those listed in the typical diagnostic criterea.

I''ve been drinking a lot for a week now .I quit for two months but started again .I'm taking the max daily dosage of Lithium for Depression. I feel really sick but I don't know if that is just a bad hangover. My shrink hasn't called me back yet. I know it's not good to mix chemicals.. I remember somebody telling me that Lithium was dangerous. Does anyone know the danger?..I don't know who to call

I know that you may think it is just as simple as set an alarm or go to bed early but nothing works, I just turn off the alarm and go back to sleep and don't realize I've done that until I wake up and its noon. This is really messing up my life, I'm late for work, I miss auditions, any advice?

Lately I've been very paranoid. Like when I"m in the shower and i hear a bump or something. I think somsone is breaking into my house and this scares me because I feel very vulnerable in the shower naked and soaked and inside a small room.

Also, the other day I went fishing by myself and everytime a car drove by I thought they might kill me and take my money and throw me into the lake.

Another thing is if I miss a phone call I think that they will come rob my house because they think I'm not home. And I hate when people drive by when I'm pulling out of my driveway because they might rob my house because they know I just left.

I hate feeling like this. I'm afraid to tell my parents because I don't want them thinking I'm insane. I'm not a schizophrenic. I don't hear voices or have hallucinations. I'm just very aware of every detail and the consequences that might occur because of them in the worst case scenario.

I fear spiders! At first it was only like once in a while but now it's everyday, I'm sitting here using the computer and all of a sudden I see black shadows everywhere around me, a few at a time,it's scary! I know it's not real but I do see those shadows everywhere I look and it really scares me! Or when I'm sleepy & try to fight to keep my eyes open I hear voices. I can't hear clearly,it depends, sometimes my parents being unkind to me,sometimes random things from people I don't even know. I just hear things & it's not nice,it's scary,horrible! 1 day I was walking inside the house holding a cup of tea & just dropped it when I saw a black shadow on the ground just near me & thought it was a real spider this time but again it wasn't real!
Why do I get those things? Where can it come from ?
Also,sadly being a self-harmer for 6 years,nobody knows &I'm not treated,I have hallucinations about that too,I see me cutting myself,scissors dancing in front of my eyes...
I dont know what to do!

I don't really feel comfortable asking this, but I just wanted some honest, frank opinions, and I don't feel that anyone I know can answer my queries. I'm particularly interested to hear from people who've lost loved ones through suicide and those that have tried it themselves. This isn't a cry for help, and it isn't a bid to get attention, I just need some advice really.
I wanted to know if Suicide does affect those left behind negatively. In most cases I can see that it would be heartbreaking, but what if the person who commits suicide isn't a nice person? What if they are someone who just causes problems and misery? Would it not be a better thing for them to just not be around anymore? I've never known anyone whose taken their own life or tried to, so I can't really relate to what those left behind must think, but I struggle to think that people would be worse off if I wasn't around.

Hi, I'd like to learn ways to increase my logical intelligence. Please don't say reading because I am already more than proficient in that area. I naturally have a sense of creativity, but actual logic is something I really want to work on, because I'm studying to become a doctor and these are the skills I can possibly have trouble with unless I hone them now.
