Mental Health - October 2006

That something bad could have happened to me when I was a kid that I don't remember? I've been told that the way I am is that of a person who was "abused" as a child. I've thought of that before and I do remember something but I always pretended they were just dreams. Is this possible?

I need help!! Do these sound like panic attacks or is it my mind just playing tricks, should i see a doctor? Examples: 1) We were in a big city lots of people and as we were walking up the streets and in the concert, it was hard to breathe .. just very hard to catch up on my breathing to the point i thought my chest was closing 2) Going to the doctors I get very nervous, my heart beat starts going faster my palms get all sweaty. When im sitting there my words all muffle up becuase i feel soo uncomfortable to the point where im dizzy
3) Have to present a presentation in front of a classroom full of people who i know but get all worked up heartrate rockets, my words all slur together becuase i get so confused becuase what i have in my head is erased becuase of fear of looking stupid?
4) I have dreams that someone in my family has died and how my life changes for the worse because of it. 5) Being in closed places ex_offices, airplanes, trians etc
Any help or leads woudl be great!

I keep reading that paxil is the most potent antidepressant and has the worst side effects and a horrible withdrawal syndrome when you decide to come off. Is this true? What have your experiences been?

So I'm depressed and long for death. I saw the chaplain(I'm in the army) and went to the hospital. I still see death as the best answer. So why not? This world seems too much for me. I hate it. I wrote this poem to describe it.

I'm terrified,
I don't know what I'm doing,
I'm so lonely,
dear god help me.
pray for me,
pray for me.
Where is my silver cup,
So thirsty,
So thirsty.
I won't hesitate,
To hit the highway.
I haven't found the reason,
Not yet at least.
Where is my succor?
I can never leave,
I can never leave,
I can never leave.
Why can't I leave?
What makes me so special?
Please forget about me.
I am nothing but a playful breeze.
Let me die in peace.
I have nothing.
I want nothing.
I want nothing!
It is so bad....
Mcusta will save me,
Reunite me with my lord.
Why brood on these dark thoughts?
Because these are all that remain.
"He who wants his life, will lose it."

Having to keep this secret is eating me up inside. I'm a normal girl in high school and in April i was told that the reason i hadn't started my period was because of a hormone defect. I have no uterus, and was born with testes instead of overies. I had surgury to remove the gonads 3 weeks ago. Ever since school has been a nightmare. I have missed so much school because of depression and anxiety that has followed me. I only wish i could talk to my friends without becoming a freak show at school.The only thing that keeps me from getting over it, is the fact that I can never have kids of my own. I need others opinions and advice. Any encouragement and words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. help me please.

I had no memory of abuse until 2 years ago. I started having flashbacks about my favorite unkle raping me in his truck when I was about 8 yrs old. It is very detailed and has caused me a lot of problems (depression, sexual dysfunction) I am in counseling and it seems to be helping. I have no memories of anything before third grade. Has anyone else in the world dealt with anything like this?

well im in a weird situation and i need your advice. im out of work and living at home. which is good and bad. the good is im looking for job without worrying about financial strain, but the bad is my confidence level is way, way down.

i feel like a loser . my sister lives here also and shes got a great job. when she comes home from work everyone at home is excited to see her and hear about her day. i feel kind of left out. no one really asks me how my day was or how im doing.

another thing is my mother got a computer a few weeks ago. ever since shes on it nonstop. she goes to bed really late,, gets up late 11:30-12:00, has breakfast than goes on the computer more. i told her the computer is taking her life over. she seemed upset that i called her out on it, but we both talked and realized that it's her life, not mine, and i agree. she can do what she wants. i feel like our relationship isnt as good as it used to be before our fight. should i do or say anything?

I am so tired of people telling me to deal with my issues and get off medication! I am dealing with the issues I have, but there are so many types of depression! I have genetic depression, my dr thinks I'll be on meds for life with the number of relapses I've had. It just makes me crazy that people think you can just "get over it" IT IS NOT THAT EASY! It also drives me crazy when people say "what do you have to be depressed about?" don't assume you know everything about everyone. Anyways...it just makes me want to scream, and I think it's ruining friendships...what do I do?

I have been keeping many emotions inside. I don't tend to speak to others and my moods are erratic always. Up, down and good, bad all on the same day. People don't understand my emotions, more to the point they don't care. At times l feel alone, dont have anyone to talk to and this saddens me more. l spend alot of time alone locked up in my room, in the dark listening to loud music to dull out my senses. I want to yell out l need help but to me this is a sign of weakness and failure to admit defeat. I am worn out and l don't know how much more l can take. I stopped taking (Avanza)antidepressants and now l cannot sleep at nite too. My head is in a spin. I don't know what to do..... I am lost .....

Isn't love one of the basic needs of human beings? What if you are one of the unlucky ones who has never found a soulmate? I know that God loves us, but don't we need something more than that?

My medication for depression is causing (I believe) lots of weird uncharacteristic thoughts/actions. I can go to the hospital inpatient tomorrow and work on it. Or I can go to the psychiatrist in 2 weeks(soonest appt.). Which one should I do?

If there is such a thing. I love dark dreary days and the shorter days do not bother me. In fact, the sun and glare and brightness sometimes seems to set off anxiety and panic. I can drive better in the dark, it is more calmimg to me.Any studies on that?

I always get depressed and mentally sluggish as the days grow shorter. Do you think this really has a physical cause, or is most of it just all in my head? Isn't it just normal to feel depressed that summer is over and we have 5 months of winter here in the midwest?

I'm a single mum divorced over a year ago.Although i had a masters degree but I've just finished doing my second masters after the divorce. I thought i'd be ok if i studied more, would find a decent job. I had a target to achieve. But everything seems to be falling apart now.I've lost all hope and confidence. I dont think i can work at my present state of mind. I dont get out of my house much except for taking my kid to school.I dont have much friends as my ex didnt like me to have friends. Just cant seem to move on with my life. I've thought of seeking counselling but i dont want anti depressants and i'm not too comfortable with the idea of going to a shrink, no offence to anyone. Maybe someone can advise me what to do, somone with similar experience as mine
