Mental Health - October 2006

Which is the best mental health doctor to speak to. I know psychiatrists perscribe medication and the other two do not. A freind of mine goes to a psychotherapist and I attended a session. It was similar to a psychologist. Another friend goes to a psychologist? So which is better to help with life problems?

I am disturbed about the responses I've read today and in the past. Especially when it comes to someone reaching out for help about suicide. That is not a joking matter and should not be taken that way. Do any of you realize that answering with answers like... You're stupid!... or Do it! ... or You don't belong here... just might push them to do it? Do you not care or hold yourselves responsible? I'm asking that all the cold hearted people refrain from answering serious questions because you're all driving me crazy!!! I feel sick for those in need and am in awe that someone would try to push them over the edge like it was a joke! I realize this isn't much of a question but I'd like to know other's views on this subject. Thanks and God bless!

My doc wants to put me on an antidepressant, was already on Zoloft and did not agree with me. I want to suggest Paxil, but not sure if CR or the other is different. I heard it helps with panic attacks. Does it?

First off I used to date this woman for 3 years or so and we got to the point we hated each other and would fight constantly. Well eventually it lead to her being unfaithful(don't blame her totally it's half my fault). Anyway got back together and we had a child together. I lost my license so I can't drive and she totalled her car so she doesn't have one(live separatly also about 20 miles away). I didn't put my best effort into being a father(should have saw my kid more)and the last 2-3 weeks I have been thinking about both of them a lot and was debating about them moving in with me. We used to talk everyday but not recently. This is when I thought about both of them more.Well I called the woman and we talked and I asked her how are things. Well she lied and I knew it so then she comes out and states she has a new boyfriend - Ironic 3 weeks ago. Well we hated each other but she was making hints about "us" for like 2 months but I pushed her away for so long she found someone else.

I have been cutting for seven years now. It has gotten to the point that I am getting stitches all the time and am severing tendons from cutting too deep. I have tried many diffrent types of teatment. I have seen numerous therapists and shrinks, I have done group therapy, CBT, DBT, lived in a residential treatment facility for 2 years, been hospitalized many times, and tried to do some work on my own. I really want/need to stop, but when that urge hits I can only hold off so long before it get overwhelming and I give in. What is left for me to try?

I've been cutting for 7 years, and now I am at the point that I need stitches all the time, and I have even severed tendons. Sometimes I don't even have a real reason to cut, besides I feel I need to. I try to not cut, but I get to the point that I can't function until I give in. Has my cutting turned into an addiction, and if so, what should I do about it?

My MD filled out my Leave of Absence form and put that I was bipolar o/d on it. Any idea what the o/d stands for? I haven't OD'd (overdosed) so that's not it.

I've quit smoking cigs, quit drinking, quit any recreational drugs, I've pretty much quit everything. I just watch the crap that goes on in the world and wonder when we all go up in a huge fireball created by some idiot who believes his religion is THE ONE. It goes on and on, Darfur, Aids, Homless families, corrupt politicians. It reminds me of Nine inch nails song "Hurt" "I hurt myself today to see if I could feel". Some times life is just a huge crap sandwich and everyone gets a bite. Just some of us get more bread than crap, if you know what I mean.

I've tried Buspar and Xanax, Xanax has worked best, I feel normal & can't feel the meds. With Klonopin I got depressed. I'm going to doctor in a few hours but I was wondering what others experiences have been with these meds?

What is your first reaction when someone tells you they have bipolar? What is your thougths/reactions once it sinks in? What do you want to tell someone that is so depressed they just want to die/harm themselves or want to get away from everybody. How about when that person starts to have panic attacks? What is your reaction when you go to a store and try to ask an employee a question and they are on the defensive side or about to cry. Do you really care about that person or just get mad and want a manager? Be truthful, I am writing an article and want opinions/thoughts from both sides (those with and without bipolar.)
