Mental Health - October 2006

Does anyone ever feel like something is wrong with them or that maybe no one truly likes them even if they have no indication. I have lots of friends, not many close, and I think I tend to be over sensitive, I don't know how to get over this. I feel like people are "acting" around me and I worry about ridiculous things. I find myself playing dumb, pretending I don't know things I do so I don't inadvertently make someone angry. Then I get worried because I don't want people to think I am stupid. I find that I avoid going out when people call me, and then, of course they eventually stop calling. I don't know what to do. Any advice?

My rooms very clean for a teenager but everything ALWAYS has to be in some kind of order/ neatness before i go out, or lets say go to school, or take a shower. My room always has to look neat and perfect. Though i never do count. I used to when i was younger do everything 2 times and at the time i didnt realize it could of been something wrong i would always think okay if i crack my nuckles once i will get bad luck and if i crack them again i would get good luck. I would do this with everything. I no that sounds very dumb but its what i thought I grew out of that though But i constantly have bad thoughts as if something bad is going to happen to my parents or my brother and sometimes myself Its scary because i cant sleep at night and i jump out of bed everytime i hear a car because im very worried my house is going to get robbed Its very frustraiting because i cant get a good nights sleep. But i was just wondering could this be OCD or am i overreacting?

I know my son is way more hyper than any kid I've ever seen. Even the teachers at his preschool see it. I don't think he has any attention problems so I'm wondering if being just hyper is a disorder of some kind or is he just extremely active? He has always been this way (well since he could crawl) and he is just turning 3 now. If you have any thoughts I can follow up with some online research thanks-

I talk to myself constantly. And they arent just simple conversations because I am bored. Like I have arguments with myself that I never finish. I find that talking to myself helps me think, but I am worried that if I talk too much to myself that I will go insane or that I will ignore the world and live in my own world. Do you think I have taken my habit too far? I am scared to ask someone I personally know for help. So the comments would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

i've learned that the best way for me to relax and leave my worries behind is to take a hot shower (I love this so much), pull the curtains down and just lie down in my bed, trying not to think about anything. but what bothers me is that while I do this, I become sad/depressed even though i'm just trying to get some peace of mind, rest and sleep.

why is this happening

thanx

Teens don't like parents who 'nag'- they want to be independent. Fine, but when your 16 yr old still NEEDS help with remembering basic stuff (hygine, school work, getting ready for a trip, getting organized ect), what do you do ?!?

I dont want to be co-dependent, with another person's problems, and when he turns 18 , fine I will back off. But my kid is NOT on meds -I have only used behaviour management all theses years. Now he has reached a new milestone, now has a girlfriend, and thinks hes an adult.

He's really starting to 'power struggle' with me and resist more than ever. NO matter how 'nice' or 'neutral' or 'authoritative' or 'diplomatic' or 'agressive' or 'indirectly' or 'helpfully' or 'casualy' or, I approach it, he snaps at me.

I am simply, calmly (most of the time) trying apply the 'extra-hard-work' parenting I have been doing all these years...and he resists.

Until hes 18 I am responsible to see he baths, goes to school, has clothing, a coat, ect

This is my last follow-up to this subject. I constantly try to keep myself depression/meloncholy etc. Music , thoughts, drawings or anything else than can keep me in the mood. It feels comforting, but if someone was depressed with me, it would be much better. I said in other posts I cut myself for the first time. Not a suicidal cut, just a simple cut. Since then I cut myself eight times just to see the blood run. It's very dramatic in the act alone. I'm looking for constant ways for a self-induced depression. I know I shouldn't cut myself; i don't have a better reason to do it, but I don't have a clear reason not to do it. It's like a tattoo almost, I won't die from it, I just cut to bleed a bit. Someone suggested i'm bi-polar, but i'm not. idk, but this life choice doesn't seem too bad once your in it. I feel in control. Only now I am beginning to accept it as who I am. Is this really a bad thing or just something that will pass over time. thanks to all who replied -ikarus_300

I sometimes think that I think too much. It keeps me from enjoying things sometimes. I'm always second guessing myself and weighing options. Why can't I just enjoy life like other people?

Its been a long road. I have been through alot mind, body and soul. I have been blessed with a good job now all I need to do is create. I have planned things out and they are realistically put together. I just get a little discouraged because life hasn't been peaches and cream but more like rocks and mountains.
