Mental Health - October 2006

I'm a recovering addict with over 4yrs clean and sober. I have been through rehab and feel that only a recovering person can truly know what another addict is going through. Having said that, I am wanting to get my degree and become a counselor.
Question is can I with an extensive criminal background.
thanks for any input

This pertains to my other posted question. I'm going insane. If I fill my presctiption for Zoloft, will it be okay to take with the Topamax? WIll I begin to feel better?

And, don't tell me to ask my DOCTOR, because if you read my other question, you will see I have been trying to contact him!
Here's the link to my other question, please read before judging me!

I really don't know, but for some reason I am so ashamed of everything, and even ridiculous things that one should'nt even be ashamed of

I am on Topamax for bipolar & mood swings. It was doing great when I first started. That was a month ago. I started at 25MG & went up to 50MG after 2 weeks. I’m still at 50MG. He wants me to stay at this level due to the “tingling sensation” I feel.
However, the last week & half I have been having the feelings of anxiety again…I can’t talk on the phone, I don’t want to be around people, I am crying at anything, I’m isolating myself from my friends, and even my children. I do not want to feel like this…especially not after knowing how normal I can feel for once in my life.
I called him twice on Friday, my psychiatrist, and once again today. I have left 2 detailed messages about my symptoms. I have not heard back from him. I feel like I’m going to go crazy. Please can anyone give me some advice? It’s hard enough to call & leave a voice mail, let alone try to wait this out.

In the last year and a half, lets see, I've lost a good job, had to give my nice truck up, in a divorce, my 14 yr old thinks drinking is ok, my car that I have now,broke down,now I have to move from where I live, I don't have any money as it seems, It goes toward my kids,I have three,my oldest doeswork and my 17 yr old just got a job,but before he got his job he ran my phone bill up(my oldest son) to about 500, so that got turned off, then he busted out my boyfriends windshield,cost me 250, the kids dad is totally of no help with the boys at all, with money or anything, if my youngest kid spends the night at his house he misses school every time the next day, I dont have health insurance and it cost me half my paycheck the other day to see my DR. and I had to go !! I'm not kidding, I only make 10.00 an hour. So,every time I Think I am making a right choice, it totally back fires, right up in my face !!! Neither of my kids that are working have a car so they depend on friends or me.

My ex-husband supposedly took that many last week. He apparantly did not even passout because they could not get the ambulance to come check on him because he refused to go. They told his parents to call back if he passed out. I think it was a ploy to get me to call him. He has been arrested for harrassing me and I recently had to get a protection order from the court.

Is it possible for your mind to think that you are sick and eventually you start to feel sick when really, there is nothing wrong with you? Is the mind that powerful?

my head is spinning, i cant let go of things that happened in my past, pretty much triggering everything thats happening now. i've been hurt so many times and in many different ways and i thought i was fine and now its all resurfacing again. i constantly find myself crying, not eating, getting sick, having panic attacks. i dont know what is wrong with me, and i keep pushing everyone away becuase of things that happened in my past. i feel like such a screw up, i havent been able to do anything right for a while now. i need help, i dont know what to do. i feel as if im losing all control of my life, and i cant get it back.

I just feel sad most times, i dont know why, i just do...and i have a very negative view of myself but my brother says that i am depressed, i dont know if i am - i thought i was just being realistic but he disagrees

and sometimes i feel VERY angry, no reason, i'd just like to take some frustration out sometimes...i think its built up tension but im not sure what the cause is

what can i do myself to help build up my self esteem? i dont want anyone to know about this.

When you go to bed at night what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about what the next day will bring...or what you should do about something...?
