Mental Health - October 2006

Jay-z, the american singer visted south africa recently, a woman susposedly tried to take a photo of him and he puched her twice in the face!! the room was full of his body guards and yet no one did anything to stop him, the poor woman was so small and he is so big. i just wonder, does he treat beyonce like that? that was so shocking that he actually hit a woman, nothing but nothing justifies hitting a woman.

Do you know what it is called when you only drink part of a glass of water or other drink, then think there is something wrong with it and constantly start a new one?

I am a 35 year old mother of 2 and am married to my husband of 15 years. I was just wondering if all thoughts/desires are ok as long as they stay in my head. I am 100% sure that I would never act on them and no...it has nothing to do with cheating on my husband. I'm sorry for being so evasive, but I don't want to say exactly what the thoughts are incase someone I know might read this. I have been tormented by this for years and it keeps me from living life to the fullest. I don't mean this to brag, but just so you all know that I am not a bad person...I am a great wife and mother...always do my best to say and do the right thing and am very hard on myself if I feel I have hurt someones feelings. So, I am a good person and I know that, but why the odd thoughts? Could it have to do with the depression that I was diagnosed with several years ago? I was in therapy for 5 years and have been on medicines before too. Sorry I can't go into more details. I have never told ANYONE before. Thanks.

What are some ways I could get started with my fight against procrastination?

All you ex-procrastinators or non-procrastinators out there...how did you stop procrastinating or how do you not procrastinate in the first place?

Like 20 jobs, three hasty marriages, 26 pets, and God knows how many times I have moved? I am in my first attempt at an honest relationship, and it is very good. We have actually dated for a year, and are not living together (amazing for a quick-draw like me). So why do I want to run? This is so different and very frightening. I was trying to peg my BF as commitment phobic, but he says that I am the one who has that problem......what do you guys think? I just did a fourth step on all my jobs and pets (AA).

I take longer than most people to grasp concepts and at times it can be really disheartening. I am aware that all individuals are different and that i shouldn't compare myself to others, yet it is difficult to be positive when others around me are so impatient. I don't consider myself to be entirely incomptent, but when i constantly see the exasperated looks and hear the annoyed voices of the people who deal with me, i become really depressed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

I got hypnotized tonight at the fair and I have a few questions about it. I really don't remember anything about it, aside from volunteering and then waking up. My friends say I did a lot of funny stuff but I have no idea. Also when I woke up I felt really groggy and loopy. I still feel kind of out of it, is that normal? I've never gone under hypnosis before and I am just worrying. Is this psychsomatic, or are these genuine hypnosis side effects. So yeah...let me know. Thanks!

There's this person, who sometimes has thoughts of suicide. She seems very happy and ditzy on the outside, but on the inside, she's screaming for help. Only she doesn't want help because she's afraid of what people might say. Sometimes she also pretends to be this girl. Online. She made up a family and everything. Got pictures...everything. And she's also unsure about her sexuality. She says she's straight,but when she thinks about a life partner it's a girl, but once again, she's afraid of what people will say. I told her she was crazy and I would help her as much as I could. So what do you think? And honest answers please...also answer not for the point...It's not like you win prizes anyways.

My husband says I look like Avril Laviene, just in a gothic way, and all his friends think I'm totally hot. I get so sick of him begging me to be friends with his friends, which happens to be shipmates, and then he gets mad when I do. He says he trusts me just not them. Its so confusing, what can I do?

I have a relative who is 19 years old. and she makes no sense. She tried working but couldn't handle the job, she tried going to college but couldn't handle learning. She says she can't think and she's going out of her mind. She went out with a guy who beat her up and she said she would never go out with him again, but she did. Nothing she does makes any sense. I remember her saying several times that she would be ready in ten minutes and I waited three hours. Everyone just screams at her because they get annoyed, but I think she is mentally ill and I'd like to help her. She also goes days without eating and without sleeping? What should I do?

She came home to visit for the 1st time in over a year and all of the sudden is having word find problems and memory problems.
Our mother developed Alzhiemers when she was 58 and died when she was 66. Now my oldest sister is starting to behave peculiar. She has trouble finding words, repeates herself and I find myself trying to fill in the gaps and make it easier for her to talk with me. I feel like a babbling idiot who is covering both sides of the conversation. Help me. I have been crying for 2 days. I am very upset and dont know what to do. I dont want to scare her because we all went thru a hard time when our mother became incapacitated at such a young age.
Should I call her husband and ask him if he knows what is going on. Anyone here with neurology experience have suggestions.
My 2nd oldest sister thinks her husband is poisoning her.

Is the profit motive in 'treating disease' ignoring some basic truths about 'parasitic' causes?

Do you recall the history of 'ulcers', well they were falsely believed to be caused by 'stress' until they found a bacteria that casued them.

Well one person I know very, very well spent some 16 years suffering from 'intestinal problems' labelled IBS, or Crohns only to find literature that suggested that this 'illness' or symptoms were caused by a 'parasite' of sorts; giardia is the most common.

Logic would suggest that even common bacteria like giardia require 4-5 tests to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that you don't have this common bacteria.

If you do, and the tests can't find it, then you will suffer symptoms from anemia, depression, and a whole host of other symptoms.

The question is a simple one, is today's medicine so concerned about the profit motive in treating symptoms rather than a simple cause of many illnesses like Cancer , depression, Schizophrenia; parasites?
