Mental Health - October 2006

have had this problem for about 2 years but it's getting much worse....I was admitted into the hospital 1 week ago (was bit by a brown recluse spider in a BAD place)....Anyway they put me on antibiotics and pain medication....it did help me sleep though....I got off the pain medicine immediately after i got out of the hospital and i have NOT been able to sleep much at all....Could i have got addicted to the pain meds (i forgot the name of it unfortunately)?...Just wondered if there could have been a connection there......Anyway i would appreciate it if anyone knew any websites or knew anything to tell me about this...It has been very rough...Thanks

Lately, I've been feeling really insecure with myself. I have a hard time talking to people because I always mess up my words and that has led me to close off to many of my friends. I'm just too afraid of other's judgements and their opinons about me that it consumes my mind whenever I talk. I'm scared of people not listening or interrupting me to the point that it's unreasonable and my thoughts become a big jumble. What can I do? I feel so hopeless and I hate myself for being this way =( I don't have anyone to talk to about this so please any advice is gladly taken!

I'm just so cofused, I feel like such a fake all of the time. I'm so worried about what other people think about me, I can't live a normal life. I'm at the point where I just want to give up. I don't know who I truely am, and I'm tired of being something I'm not. what do I do, I want control of my own life.

Lately I've been getting extremly pissed off at everything. I punched 4 holes in the wall and threw bricks at the shed in the backyard, destroying it. Things that normally didn't used to bother me now fill me with a rage that I can't control until after when I let it all out.

I started acting like this when I started weightlifting, which was 6 months ago. Is it the result of testosterone from lifting?

I feel like I'm not worthy of enjoying anything or having fun or basically living life. I'm not suicidal, but I feel like there's something "wrong" with me, like I'm missing something. I just feel so like worthless, like I should just stop trying. It sucks feeling this way. I pray all the time & I try to be as optimistic as possible, but then it's like...its always the same thing - it's like I'm going in circles and there's nothing I can do - no matter how hard I try, nothing good is going to happen to me. I know I sound ridiculous, but this is how I feel right now.

What can I do to help myself? I just feel so hopeless.

[[PLEASE don't be mean, & I'm not not fishing for compliments either.]]

I just (3 days) stopped taking Lexapro and I am having severe withdrawal syndrome-nausea, dizzy, anxious, some nights are HORRIBLE, can't sleep, ABSOLUTELY bad mood. I feel like I am dying slowly.
Could you die from Lexapro withdrawal? If not, how long will it last?

if so how does someone become so deopressed that they can't live on thier own? What is the requirement for being institutionalized

My life is really pointless when i think about it. I suck at everything i do and i have no friends. I don't really see what the point of me living is but i'm not suicidal. I don't care if i were to die tomorrow or the day after....just one less loser on the earth.

Sometimes when i'm feeling really in the dumps i daydream about me dying and what it'd be like to be gone and not have to worry about how big of a worthless piece of sh*t i am. All i do is sleep or sit on my computer. I get to the point most of the time where i don't want to talk to anybody. Sometimes not even my own family. I just want to sit in my house watch tv or be on my computer and when i don't do that i want to sleep.

90% of the people around me hate me and don't want anything to do with me. I"m a social reject who used to get made fun of in elementary school. Now i'm just ignored.

Sometimes i wonder if i'd be better dead?

hi. while growing up, confidence was never really instilled in me and i didn't even think of it myself when i was younger and now i think i might be paying the price for it.

im always concerned with how people think of me and how they look at me and see me as. like for example if i go into a store, i wonder if im smiling too much or if i look serious and mean. (weird i know!) i think im average looking, but im more concerned with how my expressions are. im not confident in my looks at all.

or if a photo is taken of me, i just feel like im not photogenic at all (unless i wear shades), whereas my sisters and friends almost always look good in their pictures.

how can i gain the strength and confidence? thanks!

Social anxiety? Rejection? Fear of the unknown? Fear of failure? etc...

I do many things.. i work 2 jobs, volunteer at an animal shelter, and go to school part time. The thing is, I HATE school (always have) but I need to go. I don't even know what I want to do. I am only taking 2 classes! Anyway, I've already missed 4 times in one of my classes, and I'm sure I'll miss more. I just can't get myself to go because like I said, i hate it so much. (this is math) Are there any tricks in the book that you use to get yourself to go to college? because i just can't miss anymore, i need to pass! Also, my math teacher SUCKS and I learn better on my own. please... any help is appreciated

I had a lot of sexual and physically abuse from more than one person all starting a few years ago. Since then i keep cutting myself because it gives me temporary relief from my inner pain. I try to hide it so much, but my parents finally found out and made me go to a therapist. I hate going to the therapist and after I go to it usually I just cut myself more. I only have one true friend I can talk about it to and that helps but as soon as he is not around and I have no one to turn to..like right now I can't do anything with the urge. I desperatly want to stop this does someone have any advice i haven't heard?
