Mental Health - October 2006

I think I am because EVERYTIME I turn my computer, I have to make sure it is off for about 3 times. I just always have to check until I finally convince myself that it is off. Another thing I tend to do is check if I have my homework from school in my bookbag. I have to constantly run through my mind the homework I have. I don't count up to a certain number so I'm really no sure. I am also the type of person who sees something (like a didease/ disorder) on T.V, and I suddenly think I have that problem but I don't. I'm really not sure about OCD though. Please help me. How can I know for sure?

What you feel, if you really hear actual voices and I guess just what you feel like?

I always wonder if our brain has set a limit on how much strain we can put on our muscles, so that we don't overexert ourselves. Do you think so?

is that a part of OCD? I'm talking OBSESSED! My younger sister (19) will not leave the house if she doesnt look perfect! She's not vein, she tells me she really cant help it and she'll feel physically sick in public if she doesnt feel like she looks her best. I'm getting a little worried, its only getting worse. Could it be OCD?

I can't take anymore, I give up. I'm sick of trying and busting my A S S all for nothing. The only thing on my mind, is death. My family doesn't support me in what I love, but they want me to support them. I do my best to help them in anyway I can, then when I need something, even if its just a little support, I get sh*t on. I have worked my *** to the bone for my family, just so they could have food on the table and a roof over their head. Why, for once, can't I get a little support from them? Maybe a little " I'm proud of you" tossed in also. I just f*ucking give up.

I recently got a computer and I can't get off it. before I went to library and had trouble getting off it, but did cause eventually they closed and they made me leave. It is not unually to be on here 10, 15, even 20 plus hours --often straight through. This is destroying my life.

Like right now, I have to do major work to prepare for a bg remodeling project and made a schedule of doing certain things each day in order to get it all done in time.

I only did about one and 1/2 days work of the last five days I had scheduled and spent the rest of time on the computer.

Each day I think I will work hard and catch up. I get on here for a few minutes and next thing I know the day is gone.

What will help me balance the time better..I do't want to stop using just use reasonably. HELP..I do have a naturally addictive personality. Please offer some real stategies. Thank you.

Ever since I was a little, I've enjoyed mind altering experiences. I enjoyed swinging, because I liked the way it made my body feel. I felt uncordinated and out of control and in a way, euphoric. I enjoyed making myself dizzy just the same. It's no wonder I am a stoner and a heavy drinker. I don't do these things everyday, but as often as possible. I was just wondering (I often wonder in this state of mind), if anyone else cannot explain the reason they enjoy being intoxicated? You can't explain it. All you know is you enjoy being high. My definition of high is an escape from reality. Being "high" is not limited to mind altering substances. Being high can be the little boy in the swing or a football player making a tackle. These are all ways of achieving a high, and everyone needs to get high. Anyone else feel the same?

My boyfriend is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict who recently fell off the wagon due to some medical problems.I am not only worried about this but he told me tonight that I lie to him when I say I love him and he is not worth loving. He told me he just wants to "suck on a bullet". I love him so much and want the old him back. What can I do to help him? If I call the police and say he is suicidal will they take him to a hospital or does he have to consent to that b/c he won't (I already tried). Please help me! Serious answers only. This is no joking matter to me.

As a young child(about 4th grade) i saw the original "The Exoricst" uncut. I was traumatized and weeks after, i had horrible dreams and couldn't sleep at night. only 2 yrs ago(after about my 15th birthdays) i started watching horror movies again. I've seen some pretty scary movies and i think i'm ready to face my fear. My dad says i should watch it again so i can get over it but others tell me to leave it alone. Should i watch it again or just let the past be the past?

I've liked this guy for a really long time! The problem is that he's fake! I've had dreams about us having sex and a family. This guy is my dream guy. I watch this cartoon everytime its on tv even if it's a rerun. I love him and wish so much that he'd be real. Please I want him to be able touch me and love me. I told my boyfriend how I could never love him for I love another man. When I told him he was very and angry and told everyone including my family about my true love. Now everyone thinks I'm strange and I'm seeing a shrink. I don't think its strange for I know he'll become flesh and bone and whisk me away from this world and into his own world. I love him and would do anything for him as I know he would do the same for me!

I have a chance to sign a contract for a record deal. My parents and most of my family thinks its a waste of time. My step-dad is dieing and my mom really needs me. She says all my step- dad wants is to see me succeed, but not in music. I've had dreams taken from me all my life, so why bother with this one?

I have had this since age 2.5 and been told by specialist that the disorder is my best friend, that I have never known anything different and that I can't get better. This takes away any hope, so I isolate myself and 'phone the Samaritans - sad or what ?

Have you ever tried to lucid dream? For those who don't know, lucid dreaming is dreaming when you are knowing of your dream surroundings, and sometimes conciously control the dream.

I feel depressed, and get upset not to mention feeling like I want to cry, when my aunt goes out to the bars, or when shes out having sex late at night.

Why do I feel this way?

I don't know why either, and I keep thinking about it, when I'm at work.

Is this depression? and how do I feel good about myself?

I been like this for years since I was a child, so what is this? not to mention I'm in my early 20's.
