Mental Health - October 2006

my doc has given me a benzodiazepine for my anxiety. i know that this is only a short term solution to a long term problem, so am i right to say that only antidepressants can cure my anxiety while the benzo is just to make me feel better??

I'm 20 and there is 20year I live with my head in the cloud. I can't concentrate on any work such as brush teeth, learning, play badmiton, communication ... general speaking all of action. When I clean the face, I think about a friend; when I learn by heart I imagine I m giving a lecture ... Thus I do every work very slowly . I find difficulty to listen to anyone. (thru my 12 school year, I nearly don't understand any teacher's word then I myself studied at home) And there are many times I have crazy idea that make me be laughed. I always forget closing door, loosing ticket, forget to pick up someone .... I also often do moonstruck things. I have tried to control my mind but my mind wanders anytime anywhere. It make me very hard to accomplish any work, and I am often stressful because of term test. I have gone to the doctor, many doctors give me medicine but they don't make me change. I can't keep my mind on one thing. Help me change my life !

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stressed out 24/7. I cant even control it anymore. Its come to the point where i'll break down crying very hardly in the middle of a class. Its all caused by my evil teacher, and i cant switch out of her class! I cant sleep anymore, and no1 can stand being around me when i'm in such a bad mood. Any stress-help tips? I've tried excersize, but i usually dont have time for it-i only have time to excercise 1-2times a week.

I moved to a lovely part of SW Florida a few years ago just after 9/11. For a few years it was paradise here - palm trees, beaches, warm weather year-round... However, being a native NY'er I truly miss the culture, diversity, and hustle of NYC. My fear is the likelihood of future terror attacks upt here. What would YOU do? p.s. let's get rid of Bush!

I take Lamictal in the morning (between 6 and 7 am). By 6 or 7 pm, I am incredibly irritable and agitated. I've tried taking it an hour or two later, but it only extends the effectiveness by an hour or two. Does anyone know if they make an extended release Lamictal?

I turned 16 two months ago, started college which i HATE but cant drop out and do something else.
I have had acne since i was about 8 or 9 years old, im supossed to be starting Roaccutane next month that "works" but im not getting my hopes up on that. I am really pale, i would love to get a tan but getting a tan involves showing skin which i dont want to do because i am too self-concious because I feel fat all the time, i cant stand the way i look, my mum gets mad when-ever i try and talk to her about how i am feeling, i cant call my nan because my mum doesnt like me talking to her, no idea why, i have a younger brother and sister who i cant talk to because i dont get on.
I have had counselling before but it didnt work at all, the time between appointments was just too long.

What can i do???
It is realy starting to get to me now.

Once the body starts to self distruct and chronic pain is experienced daily, where do I find motivation. Those closest to me do not seem to understand that just standing up is difficult, I'm not trying to be a 'wimp'.
