Mental Health - October 2006

The last time i ever caught a taxi by myself was when i went off to my mothers,due to domestics between me and my bf,i felt depressed at the time and the taxi driver was a little concerned and asked me questions,so i answered him,at the time i was depressed i just told him how my bf was verbally abusing me.So he said to me....hey if you ever need a job just ring me up....We have mothers of your age who are in the same situation and struggle in life single mothers financially,he gave me his card and told me well all you do basically is massage oldmen and whatever they do is up to them..........He stated in a rude way if he touches you.......then just tell him your uncomfortable about it......that minute of thoughts made me think this was a sexual job.He told me the prices he said you get $50 bucks a day.Then i just got scared and said ok ill be willing to do it.He said ill ring you up tomorrow.Youll be here right?i said ok,but i wasnt sure,cause i didnt want anything to happen to me.

He was supposed to pay be 80 bucks back but he only gave me 60. I didn't care to count the money then. It was only later that I realized my stupidity. I am feeling pathetic.

Does anyone out there have panic attacks for no reason at all. Like you will wake up in the morning and your hearts starts racing and you feel light headed. Has anyone had them last all day.

Ive suffered for 5 year now. I remember my 1st time. I was at the post office with my baby girl who i'd just had 2 month before. Suddenly i thought i was going to die. I went in shock i could hardly move. I thought oh no please dont die here not like this not with my little girl here and then got out. From then on every waking moment has been the same. I know some people say they suffer up to 10 panic attacks a day but mines seem to be constant. I really cant do anything for myself and daughter i have to rely on too many ppl who dont understand or dont want to understand what im going throught. My daughters at school and i take her but its a nightmare. Im so dizzy i can hardly walk. The sensations i feel make me breathless and unable to talk. If it wheren't for my youngest being in a buggy so i could grab hold of it i dont think id be able to go without colapsing. Ive tried so hard to help myself. Ive worked so hard trying to get rid of my anxiety ive put myself in a state of shock.

Help me!

I have trouble rasing the Zoloft dosage to 25mg. My body reacts too sentitive if I take 25mg. I get anxious, nausiating, confused, etc.

Right now, I am taking 12.5mg.

I think the reason for the sensitivity is because I have taken 5-htp for quite a while before began taking the Zoloft.

I really want to raise my Zoloft dosage to 25mg, and then later, 100mg.

What should I do?

I have ,"self medicated", with pot for years...but I have had to ,"GIVE it UP", for recent employment opportunities.
YEAH WHATEVER, it also, (pot that is) when I run out, I just seemed to get more ,"DEPRESSED".
Thereoretically if I just never ran out, things would be fine.
But I will not take the risk of selling it ,just so I can have ,"My FREE STASH". And weed is expensive, and SUPPOSEDLY causes other problems, what with work, family, G.F., whatever.
And then...
See I am Bi-Polar.
I hate to admit it, especially to myself.
I can not stay on,"ONE TRAIN OF THOUGHT" for like even one minute.
But I do not want to do or take any meds, cause I have heard too many "horror stories" about people acting out their ,"angers", or whatever.
You know, like setting their house on fire, maybe cause of too much MED'S, or like , "going out and killing someone who they think really needs it, when they quit med..

He put me on Zoloft which I did not tolerate well at all. He likes me to put input into things, and I would like to have an idea of which antidepressant for my panic attacks would be. He of course would make the final descion, but he does ask my opinion.
Any expierences out there?

I was taking a short nap and I suddenly woke up dehydrated. I went up several floors to buy a drink and when I get back my roommate asks if she woke me up a while ago. I told her, "Um no, I was sleeping. I just woke up." She was really surprised because she said I was rambling on and on about something and that I picked up my phone and started talking to someone. She said it happened about 30 minutes before I woke up. She was sure I was talking to someone because she heard them talking back to me. I don't even know who I called! Is this normal? Is there something wrong with me?

What can I do to help a friend who is 400+ miles away that is having a mental/emotional breakdown? We've been very close friends for several years but we currently live 400+ miles away and he has had a lot going on in his life recently, and in the past, and is having a really hard time dealing....

He called me tonight... He's not a drinker, but he was really drunk, and crying... Which is something else that is rare for him, no matter how bad things are..

He's tried to commit suicide before.. A few times... And I'm scared to death that he'll try again.

I'd like advice on how I can help him even though we're so far apart... What can I do for him? I can't lose him and just knowing that he's in pain has me bawling my eyes out.

Any advice that you could give, I would be very grateful for.

My doc switched me to 4mg of Klonopin straight off and I'm not feeling right. The drugs are very similar, but that little chemical difference has a big effect when switching from one to another after long term use. I mean between the xanax and klonopin. Wouldn't it be easier to slowly switch me over to klonopin, then get off of that kinda slow? These drugs help a lot if you have problems with anxiety and/or panic, but they really mess up your mind. I can't think right, short term memory is real bad along with my concentration and the ability to hold thoughts or learn much.I hope this cognitive dysfunction isn't forever, when i finally do get off of them. Any answers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
