Mental Health - September 2006

OKAY! My grandmother has alzheimers. pretty bad. or good, whatever. Shes on all the new meds and alotta others too for depression, agitation, blah blah. Everyday she wakes up, wont get out of her nightgown for anything.. then at like 1pm finally dressed, wants to go out and do this or that.....
But when I (her grandaughter, and live in caregiver) try to address the issue of getting involved in a social activity or joining a club or something... she doesnt want to do any social function. whatever i say, she says no, argues and fights. so everyday its the same thing. and I cant take her to the grocery store or anything because she just touches everything and gets very loud and fighting if I say ANYTHING to her about not touching so much or just focusing on the errand.
SHES gone nuts. shes making me nuts.
please save my insanity before i turn into peanuts.
what can i do to get her outta the house???

I think i might have depression but im not sure.....i feel very down, and sometimes i just want to cry......i know it started when i was at work..i had a really really bad day and i just put it down to that, but the feeling wont go away and now i dont know why i feel like crying. I also seem to be very emotional at the moment, and tiny things can bother me..were as they didnt before.

Any ideas?

I'm 18, I have 2 small jobs that I do in the evenings. I work at a Chinese for like 15 hours per week and doing Avon which is like 2 hours per week. I go to college, and I have to do coursework so that takes up time, and I have my boyfriend which also takes up time, but in a good way. My parents and I don't exactly get on so I can't turn to them for help, and whenever I want to talk to my boyfriend about how I never have any time to just sit down, he thinks I'm over exaggerating and makes it into a joke.

I know I'm only 18 and I shouldn't be complaining at such an early stage in life, but does anyone else feel like this? I know when you're a parent who works, it's difficult, but I'm 18. Any solutions? I can't think of any because I need both jobs to start driving lessons and for Christmas.

i feel that i have depression issues but i'm not sure who to see about it. my insurance covers psychiatrists but not psychologists. i'm afraid that i may not be able to afford help without my insurance so i want to know the difference.

So i just got diagnosed with anxiety issues, and a possiblity of mild depression. I've been doing some research on the medications offered, and was wondering what some other options might be. I've heard of accupuncture, or message therepy, or natural supplements? Have any of you tried these? Did it work?

my friend keeps making comments like "i don't matter, i wish i was dead, there's no point to keep living" She also told me tonight that she has several ways to kill herself. I know she is just saying it to get attention cause she cuts herself too. Is there any reason i should take her seriously? I yelled at her and hit her earlier today cuz she said she was going to do it tonight or in the next few days whenever she got the chance. Now she won't answer my calls. i called her dr and he said he'd check up with her. I know i need to just ignore her so she'll stop getting attention by saying stuff, but how do i know for sure if one day she is serious. she never used to say crap like this and ive known her for like 5 yrs. What can i do besides play her games? I don't wanna ditch her cuz shes my best...

I suppose it's just a sign of how some people try to elevate themselves over other people that they don't even know. I happen to be pretty well educated and proud of the education I worked for...I don't like petty putdowns.

i actually love being a schiz, it's very unusal in a comforting way. you feel very much different from the rest of the world, and you could live off of your own thoughts, without someone else's for a long time. it's like having a very interesting and fun meeting in your head, all day everyday. you could never get bored with it. =D i don't know why people view it as a bad thing, or as a disease, and i absolutely hate how doctors could give people a pill to "cure" the "disease", only because it is not normal. i hate how people today wish to be so much as, normal!!! anyway, i just wanted to know your thoughts about Schizophrenia, and what you think as pros and cons of it.

aside from the training, i mean would the blood and gore bother you to a point where you couldn't do that job. If you are such a person, do you ever get used to it, does it take a certain kind of person to handle that?
