Mental Health - October 2006

i have a serious problem just focusing.... i was diagnosed with it as a child, and i told my doctor this. its getting worse. i am so easily distracted its having an affect on my work and relationship. half the time my fiance says something i have to have him repeat it because i didn't hear it, i was thinking about something else, but then i cant remember what i was thining about, or the train of thoughts is so long and random its just too hard to explain. as much as i try to focus during meetings i find my mind wandering. i've told my dr this and he made me try lexipro because he feels its stress and anxiety. Well lexipro made me feel even worse! i still drifted into random daydreams, and on top of it could barely stay awake! help!!!

I've been feeling depressed for about 4 years now. I am not the same and it has been so long i feel like i dont even know who i am. i am constantly thinking about my ever action. Its almost like i have been living outside of my body for the past 4 years. My parents dont believe me and refuse to listen. No matter how hard i try to look at the posotive, there is always something wrong. ALWAYS. now, nothing in life seems satisfying at all. im not allowed to see my friends simply because my parents dont like them. wow i finally found some people who care about me and listen to me and i cant see any of them because one they are a few yrs older than me (2-3). i just am exausted.everyday i wanna cry and i know there is a reason but i cant find it. my brain physically hurts along with the rest of my body. im always confused and i feel im going crazy. i have distorted perceptions on almost anything,i dont feel like im human. there is something wrong with me for sure,i just need help to find it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR MOM,


I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE OBSERVED OF ME ....I'VE BEEN GETING THINER. I MUST CONFESS. I HAVE BEEN STRIVING FOR THINNESS.

I'VE NOT BEEN DOING IN A HEALTHY WAY. I HAVE FALLEN INTO AN ADDICTION. I AM SOO LOST IN THIS ADDICTION, I CANNOT FIND MY WAY OUT ALONE. THIS ADDICTION, IS MUCH LIKE CUTTING.

I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO SEE A NUTRITIONIST.

I HATE needles. I can barely look at them without freaking out. The downside is that I just cannot go through with getting shots or getting blood taken out. I HAD to get a tetnis shot in high school in order to be eligible to play sports and the whole doctor's office had to come in to hold me down to get the shot.

This really wouldn't be an issue except I can't live my life in fear and never get a shot ever again. I also want to donate blood because I do have an uncommon blood type and want to save a life.

I faced my fear of spiders and now I can be around them, but I can't kill them. I've tried facing the fear of needles, but I end up running out of the office and down the street (literally) when they bring in the needles. Any tips on how to face it? I've tried everything. Anyone else have this problem?

Hey. I recently went on pills for my depression/aniexty, and im feeling bad for it, because i used to rant and rave about pill poppers and how people should not depend on pills to live. Although, i have lived with depression since i was 15/16, now that i finally started taking pills in the last few days, i do feel better...i just dont want to have to depend on them for the rest of my life. If i just have a chemical imbalance and pills will help me than im all for it.
How do you all feel about pills and depression? and WHY on earth is it so common now aday's, back in the old days what did they do for their depression?...so many questions, not enough answer's, lol.

It's taking control of my life. On my days off all I want to do is lay around. I'm not exercising like I should and I can't seem to motivate myself to do so. I wait until the last minute to finish something important. I just want to quit my job and be done with it. I feel like I have too much on my plate between the extra hours that I work and home life with the kids. I'm not suicidal, but I just want all of it to be over at times. I get crabby, my stomach aches, I feel sick to my stomach half the time, I'm tired and achy. Something's got to change. Are there any websites I can visit that will help me deal with life better? Is there any advice?

I have been pretty shy all my life although not nearly as much. However, I think I am a lot shier than I should be at my age.
