Mental Health - October 2006

Have you ever, or do you have seizures during your flashbacks...independent of the flashback itself. In other words, do some flashbacks make you look like your are having an epileptic seizure while others don't?

Has anyone ever suggested you may have a seizure disorder?

Hi. I am currently writing my dissertation on the subject of why people who suffer from mental illness (in particular Bi-Polar Disorder) have an abnormally high capacity for creativity and creative thought. In essence, i'm attempting to discover why this is so. However, I am still at a loss in regards to a title for the dissertation. I'm wanting a title that may include a play on words, something a little.....well creative! Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou

HI!
I am one of those fortunate people who is running out of options to treat depression. I have bipolar depression and wonder if Vagas nerve stimulation would be ideal for this condition, if it really works and how long it takes before it works?

I have been sick very sick for several months, enduring tests and horrible symptoms. My mental state of mind isn't good, I have become very depressed and anxious waiting for a diagnosis. The last test (upper endoscopy) revealed multiple lesions inside my stomach and those areas. My doctor says he will not talk with me about it until he gets the results back. I am scared and in pain. Please tell me if you know what (stomach lesions) might mean, and any suggestions for staying strong I feel I am driving myself crazy so to speak. It's hard to not think about it because the pain and nausea are constant companions. The medicines help but not a whole lot. Thank you for reading, and thanks to all that respond.

As a 15-yr old guy, I feel very girly in wanting this, but my sexual fantasy is to cuddle with a chubby girl, about this plump: (http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/3024/... [worksafe, I'm not mean like that D:]), while listening to some light jazz and talking. Is there some genetic wrongity with me or something? Becuase it's like, every guy I've met is always checking out girls, "rating" them and being all "I'd hit that" and etc. I think this is wrong, but it seems to be the norm for guys these days.

This happens to me on a recurring basis, at the moment I have the "Seinfeld" show theme in my head...even though I havent watched it for ages!! I will just find myself humming away randomly.
Last time it happened for about year and it was also this song... sometimes it is others like the "Simpsons" or "Superman" theme, but usually this one... Is this like a nervous thing? Please help it drives me crazy!!

Hi. Im 15 so maybe you could just blame hormones. I am very esily offended. Especialy by anything to do with sexism. Also i sometimes get overly emotional. a couple hours ago i watched Monster House and i cried. I felt sorry for the house too, it was missunderstood. i am always worried, especialy about the future. I think very deep thoughts. Ironicaly, I dont feel sorry for my brother or sister if they happen to have a missfortune, believing they dont desserve it any better than i had it. Call me sexist, but I find it hard to feel sympathy for a man/boy because it's obviously so much esier to be one of them, no male experience probably woundnt even compare to a period or childbirth so they should feel sorry for me. I am realy ofended when i work hard on homework or something like that and i see other people cheating. I feel like so many people hate me and i dont know why but i can tell they do.

I have always been indifferent and uncaring towards everything my entire life. I don't ever remember crying, or feeling especially happy. Even in school, I don't laugh, smile, or get angry, nor do I remember I time that I ever did. Until recently, I never thought I was abnormal, just different from others. Ever since I moved to my new school, the counsellors tell me they are worried about me--why? I have few friends, but none are close; or rather, I don't like other people. I feel quite peaceful the way I am. Am I a freak?

I can not decide if I should continue working from home or if I should get a job outside the house. This has been going on for a year now. I search the want ad's, go for the interview and change my mind. In addition to that, I will go to the grocery store fill up my cart and decide I have spent too much money and leave it. I make doctor appointments and decide that I don't need them. I can not get myself to call. I just don't show up. I have tried desperately to get out of family reunions and holiday occasions. I stopped answering the phone and I let everything go to voicemail. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and have been taking 100 mg of Zoloft for the past few years. I take this for panic attacks. Now that I have been working from home, I find that I feel very uncomfortable being around people and I am always looking for excuses to stay home. I am so confused and I am so depressed. I hate the person that i have become. What is wrong with me?

I'm obsessed w/my therapist. not in a stockerish psychotic way though. He's been my therapist for over 10 yrs and he is just such an amazing person. He has really affected my life and has been my mentor. I love him. Not in a sexual way but in a more fatherly way. Has anyone ever felt this way about their therapist? Is this abnormal?

Ive been diagnosed with severe panic disorder, been on meds for years then weaned off of them for another few years. My anxiety attacks seem to be less severe as I have gotten older or I guess I know how to handle them better. The problem now is that I worry about EVERYTHING well not everything, just everything that has to do with my health. IF i get the slightest pain i think the worse. I could be a dr from all the research i have done in checking my symptoms. I get a headache and I think im having a an anyurism, a little twige in my chest im having a heart attack, well now the latest is that I think I have kidney disease. How do I stop?? I so scared of dying and getting some awful disease. Then I get scared that when something real happens no one will believe me because of all the aches and pains I complain about. My own dr thinks im crazy... I went for a ct scan of my head and refused the dye because i thought i ws going to have a reaction to it! Any advise?

I felt calm & peace after a short trip. But the stress is coming back once I'm back. I'm really lost. Everything didn't go smooth this year. My parents health have problems, brothers almost lost their jobs, me, myself, having an affair but it's over now.
My job is making me crazy. Lots of work loads & no one appreciated the effort I had put in.

What shall I do? I lose my confidence now.

I have recently begun taking lithium, starting at 150 three times a day, and now at 300 three times a day. I've noticed my face starting to break out more. What can I do to control this, other than the obvious - benzoly peroxide, salicyc acid? I need something to really work. I'm so self conscious, it's horrible. I want to hide.

My life is a disaster. I'm not supposed to commit suicide, because it either makes me a coward, or it will send me to Hell. What else am I supposed to do? Trust me, things have sucked for years, and they aren't getting any better. So please don't tell me things will get better if I just hang in there. I've considered becoming the town drunk, but I don't like alcohol.
