Mental Health - October 2006

dont believe me.. do you have a job? do you pay bills? do you have kids/wife/whatever?
Go to jail for a while lol! you don thave to deal with ANY issues, just only to say "yes boss" and get into a fight once in a while.
Free cable, free room and board, no working (other than clean your cell every day (not hard.. )) .. so really.. who is in prison? the prisoner or the worker? you tell me... conjugal visits, tv, radio, snacks, smoking permitted.. hell yea no wonder judges/lawyers/etc have jobs.. we all want to be there! those who don't are just wanting to be punished with hard labour! lol

My mate is broke, he doesn't currently have a job, can't pay his rent, has huge debts, can't seem to keep a job, has a car with no tax or MOT and can't afford to get it legal, has taken an overdose before but thankfully not enough to kill him, got thrown out by his father as soon as his mother died (so his dad could start dating), has legal letters demanding money, hasn't got any friends or family who can put a roof over his head, will soon be evicted, possibly taken to court re debts, has just become a father but the mum lives a long way away (she won't take him in as she finished with him). My family and I have been bailing him out for around ten years, giving him money, buying him food, topping up his electric and phonecard but we don't have any more money to give him and don't see why we should - we're so stressed out. How do you get someone who is at rock bottom to pick themselves up, get a job and stick to it, take some responsibility and see the light at the end of the tunnel

my brother has mental problems and therefore has to have an injection every two weeks. He refuses to take any of his other medication, so is getting bad side effects. I have now found out that he is now injecting drugs but i don't know what. I just don't know what to do because he won't admit he's got a problem. please help.

I have recently been prescribed it for mood disorders. Is it addicting? I know its not a controlled substance, neither is paxil. And when I miss a couple of doses of that I am a ball of tears on the floor

I have suffered for a long time with bouts of deppresion on and off. However right now I am very happy. I got married 7 months ago and I love life.....the problem is that every few weeks I get these uncontrollable outbursts of violence and anger. I swear and shout at my husband and I have also hit him a few times, I throw things and can't stop myself. Then I get very down again and usually end up self harming so that I take out whts left of my anger on me and not him. He has 3 children who come and stay regularly we all get on but sometimes I behave like this infront of them. I know what i'm doing is wrong but I can't stop myself at the time.

I am currently seeing a psychotherapist whch is helping a bit but I just don't know what to do.

I have great days followed by awful days, any ideas?

Almost two weeks ago I was at work and my heart started to beat really fast. It wasn't a pounding but more like a light but rapid beating that you could actually see through my shirt, then I got really lightheaded with tingling sensations in my fingers and lips... plus my hands and feet were cold. I went to the ER, my heartrate was 146 but my blood pressure and EKG and blood tests were all normal. They gave me a saline IV and sent me home. After that episode, I was fine. Then four days later it happened again only without the really rapid heartbeat. It was like my heart skipped like something freaked me out (only nothing did -- and I wasn't doing anything strenuous either time) and then I had a rush of panic and felt like I was going to pass out. Eventually that went away but I sort of lost my appetite and whenever I do eat, it sort of comes back. I'm now always lightheaded and my heart sort of feels like it's beating slow but could jump any minute. Anyone else have this?

I am currently taking Lexapro to deal with my depression. I was prescribe 10mg but I started by taking 5mg, I broke the tablet in half. 5mg was doing okay, but I was trying to meet the strength that my doctor had prescribed. Now I'm taking 10mg and it makes me look a feel a bit angry. Is this the side effects? I did not feel angry when I was on the 5mg, only the 10mg makes me feel this way.

Anyways, do Lexapro make you feel angry?

I have watched specials about the dangers of methodone, and recently found out that is what Anna Nicole's son died from. My Dr. just rx'd some to me to help me sleep (I was addicted to ambien prior). I took it last night and felt kind of weird. Now I"m scared of it. Is it really like methodone? Methodone scares me. Thanks.

I've cheated on my wife a few times and told on myself. Now here's the tricky part. I told on myself because I love her and she deserved to know. And I know that "If I love her I wouldn't do it in the first place". But this isn't true, It had nothing to do with anything but a problem in myself that i'm trying to fix. Other than this problem i'm the best father and husband that anyone could ask for. Am I worth forgiving? Maybe I am worth forgiving once but more? I feel so sorry for my wife. She doesn't deserve this. I love her so much. I wish God would just fix this for me.

My mom is saying how she is worried about me cause how I'm always low on energy, never excited. How I don't want to buy anything, I'm never interested in anything and how I don't like to go out or watch movies and stuff. I'm not depressed or anything but is there anything wrong with me or is this normal for a 15 year old boy. I'm not doing bad in school, I have friends and I play sports. Cause my mom says it isn't.

I have very few resources monetarily... so it took a LOT of convincing, and actually many years of suffering, before I finally worked up to ask my Dr. for an antidepressant. I did therapy, they wanted to give me pills, but I always refused it thinking I would work my way through my problems.

Now I'm 32 and I've given up working my way through. I have stopped making any improvement, and I think I'm up to the fact that I'm biologically depressed...

I explained all this to my Dr. He started to write out a prescription for wellbutrin XL. He then handed me a questionaire "for the record" that was one of those dinky 10-question "Have you ever" types... I checked those that applied.

Seeing my answers, he said "You're bipolar".. & changed his mind, referred me to a psych that is way out of my budget and gave me nothing. I already spent $70 with this Dr. that I feel has been wasted...

What should I do? Can't afford the psych, nor anymore runaround. I need a solution that works.

i finally think i have to admit that i need my meds to live. if i don't take my meds i think i'll die because i am not chemically balanced and may kill myself either suicide or unintenally by doing something unsafe like i do drive 100 mph down I-95 and I-4 like an idiot, yes that would be me and not purposely. i try not to, but then it just happens, when i'm not taking my meds correctly. i think that is what the shrink meant by the diagnosis he gave me too... ok later peeps and thanks for comments and help here.
