Mental Health - October 2006

have you ever reached a point in your life
In which you didn't want to live anymore
. where you were alone and angry and mad at yourself for not being able to express on paper what you were going through. as an artist i am going in circles in a pshycadelic rage. i hated the thought of me and my anger burned so intolerantly. i had to hurt myself and i did and there is my art. the scars on my arm.
Well i feel that way right now. I'm alone in my room and no one cares, no one wants to know. I hate the thought of me, my art, what it means. it's expressionless.
I am going to dissolve in my abusive mind, how can i express this artless form known as emotion.
Whom among you can relate to this unfathomable starvation of mind.
i can't understand myself

Well, my heart's broken. I am in love with this guy, we have been together a while and, believe me, love like this is hard to find. It was love at first sight from the beginning, and is till this day. The problem is my parents dont approve of our relationship. It's a cultural thing. I tried so hard, and I'm hurting everyone. The guy I entend to marry, he just doesnt understand why, and I've tried explaining it to him, but I understand why he's so sad. My parents think I've "betrayed" them. I just hate myself. They don't want me seeing him, and I haven't told him that yet. I can't get the courage to do so, I love him with all my heart. I have been crying for days now, I've actually lost 3 lbs in the last week - I'm seriously dying inside. I can't sleep at night, I can't focus. I actually wished I never was born or just died so I didnt have to go through this. No one understands me. Cultural differences and conservative values have broken me.....

There are lots of therapists around and that is easy to find, but few who are tough and have you get working instead of sit there and drone on. How do you find a tough therapist in Jacksonville, FL?

About 3 or 4 months ago I started having insomnia, and began taking Ambien to help me sleep. Also before that time I noticed that I started hearing a recurring song "in my head" like when you can't get a song you heard out of your head. But in this case, it wouldn't stop, until I hear another song and then I hear that one in my head. What could this indicate, if anything? It began occuring around the time I quit drinking alcohol excessively - not sure if that has anything to do with it. Antidepressants don't help - make me more nervous - can't take any of them (or at least the ones I have tried).

but I can get in the check out line and feel my knees go weak and my heart jumps out of my chest. It doesn't matter if I'm the only one there. I have started taking zoloft a week ago. Hopefully it will kick in soon!

I get super stressed about not having enough time to do stuff. I work 40 hours a week and am taking 2 college classes. I have weekends off, but I can never just live in the moment. I'm always pretty much counting down to when I have to work again (and when I don't have time to do anything anymore). During my time off, I don't have fun. I keep making lists of things that I "need" to do, such as tidying my closet or something. I'm always thinking ahead, but want to learn to just live in the moment and not be so stressed about losing time. What can I do?

As it pertains to lying, I think a study needs done.

I know that Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder. It would seem that if one had difficulty controlling the impulse to pull ones own hair, maybe they would be more likely to have a hard time controlling other impulses: lying, etc.?

Have you taken Mellodyn for insomnia? If so, did it help? I've taken rozerem (didn't work), ambien (habit forming), anti-anxiety meds (too strong), and I've used most of the ingredients in this remedy with limited success, but I'm interested to hear about anyone else's opinion of it.

i'm preparing for my final paper in my Mental Health & Well-Being class (yeah...i know, it's only October - hey! i like to stay ahead of the curve) & we all have to choose a topic. my final paper will focus on the corelation between diet and anxiety disorders and cognitive abilities in children & adolescents.

i need web sites, books, journal articles...ANYTHING that supports my theory that poor diet not only leads to poor cognitive function, but exacerbates any mental health issues.

I have been living at school for 6 weeks now and there is just so much that I have to do. I feel like I am always too busy and I have no time for myself. Because I keep over thinking everything I have been having panic attacks and feeling very anxious. It is just such an uncomfortable feeling! Are there any home remedies for it or should I go to the doctor?

i think i might have OCD. recently my hands have gone red with the washing. i have 2 have EVERYTHING at right angles to each other. i get quite alot of joke teasing about the washing at school. i always carry my jumper so that i can open the door with it instead of actually touching the handle. i only get this so bad at school, not at home. y? i also get obsessed really easily, i always had the ones like when i was younger but in the last couple of years. i have had a really bad obsession with one of my teachers. its really like not funny. at the beginning it was like a joke but now all i think about is him at 1st i thought i fancied him, but he's not amazing looking, but he is really sweet. i have also self harmed, somehow i think of these as the same problem, i dont know y. i just think that they are related. am i just overreacting or have i really got a problem?

I am 21 and my toenails on my big toes are thick and discolored and kind or cracking. Has anyone found an effective and inexpensive solution for this? I've heard of Lamisil (I think the name is right) that is a pill to attack from beneath the surface, but I'm not really into the side effects and am a poor college student. Please tell me of any experiences you have had. Thank you.

im 14 and have been harming 4 about 3 or 4 years. i no that what im doing is wrong and that i shouldn't be doing it. i dont do it for attention, i guess i do it because i dont really have another way 2 express myself but im not like depressed or anything. i wanna stop cos i really dont wanna run the risk of my mum finding out, which is the reason talking 2 my mum is TOTALLY out of the question, cos she wood like freak and b like: 'after all i've done for you..' etc etc and we have massive rows which is partially wat starts it agen. my mum and my dad split 7 years ago, and i no she would be devastated if i told her/ she found out. but the last time i was so tired and not thinking straight and i did it on my forearm and i have a noticable scar, this is wat triggered me 2 think about stopping more seriously. 2 people know about wat i do and i dont think they have any issues with it, well i no 1 doesnt cos she did the same thing. and the other is so quiet she wouldnt tell a soul. so wrong?
