Mental Health - October 2006

My mom is a drug addict who hates me.
My father is a dead-beat who has contacted me in months.
The rest of my family might charge me to talk to them...they are so money hungry that even when I try to talk to the older ones the conversation becomes all about them
I have no friends
My boyfriend is dead.
I failing classes in skool (college sophomore) and in debt up to my neck (well only about a thousand or so cuz of books)
My life is just F%#@$# up.
And God really doesn't care.

Is there an antidepressant that is not addictive, and that does not need to be taken for the rest of someones life? I have a fear of taking these for depression because I do not want to be on pills for the rest of my life, but I'm getting to the point where I have tried everything else unsuccessfully.

I used to be so attractive and so nice looking. I had wonderful curves, cute face nice hair...everything. I am still intelligent but I am honest enuff with myself to admit that I am no longer nice looking. I have polycystic ovaries and it is threaten to become cancer. I have gained lots of weight and even If I lose it my body shape has changed drastically, now I’m larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. I have body hair, I mean large amounts, very visible, I have a full grown beard connecting side burns.
I was an extremely attractive girl when I was 12-17 Now I'm 19 and just a mess.
My boyfriend (who’s now decease) brought back the notion that I just might be beautiful. But I can no longer consider that valid cuz he was cheating so I couldn't have been that beautiful.
Anyway my self-esteem is fine, I love myself but I just know in for a fact I am ugly...I just wanna be beautiful again.

your child died before you? How would you handle it (or what would you consider to be a normal reaction)? I know this is horrible to think about, but my 5 yr old son passed away in May and the way I feel now unexplainable. People say that I'm strong, but I have another child to care for, so I have no choice but to be strong (but everyday I feel like I am thisclose to just losing it).

Hello.
This is a serious question. I have been on the anti-depressant "Effexor ER" the one that is time released and comes in capsules NOT the tablets.
I have recently decided to to quit them do to the fact that i don't believe that they are doing me any good anymore.Also, if i forget to take them one day I get really dizzy and nauseous . I am not liking that and it is making me believe that I am becoming reliant on them and I dont want to have to take a pill for the rest of my life!
So. My question is what is the best way to quit them and is there a way to do it without the dizzy feeling??
I figured I would ask here incase there might be a doctor that reads these rather than pay money for what I think I know the aanswer is already...which is "you just have to quit them slowly and deal with the dizziness." i hope there is another way.
THANKS FOR YOU ANSWERS!

I've had an anxiety disorder since the London bombings and I have panic attacks when I go on the tube. I was totally unable to go to work for 6 months because of this but made a good recovery.

I was doing OK up until a few weeks ago and it's all gone pear shaped again.

I am starting to get anxious when I leave the house and I don't want to become agorophobic.

Any suggestions?? I do relaxation techniques and breathing control already.. and I'm on medication

Lately various things send me into a rage. I've been having trouble with my relationship, finances, and the way my children listen to me. I think it's all came after my rage episodes, so it's pretty much self-inflicted. My financial problems stem from me not wanting to be at work due to anger and frustration with people there. I have a high stress job. I know that I can't blame my life for my feelings. I didn't used to be this way. Any real psychologists out there please respond! It's becoming overwhelming and I'm afraid it's going to ruin my relationships. My tolerance is just way too low for ANYONE. I feel like being alone alot of the time. It's not possible for me to take a vacation at this point. I've taken a couple of extra days off from work, but I feel as much stress at home as I do at work. I haven't been working the normal overtime that I had been working and we're going to start doing things together as a family again. I need some coping skills!!!

My husband , I am guessing, is starting stage 3 . He has been very slow in getting there are we are nearing 10 years since his diagnosis, the meds have helped. Recently he had what we thought was a heart attack and all the test show it to be negative. BUT since then and within 1 month he turned almost completely deaf. Have any of you who have been caregivers to this illness seen this before? He had no hearing problems what soever. Thank you for your help.

CORK radio station was running a competition - words that weren't in the dictionary yet could still be used in sentence that would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali.

DJ: "96FM here, what's your name?"

Caller: "Hi, me name's Dave."

DJ: "Dave, what's your word?"

Caller: "Goan... spelt, G-O-A-N, pronounced 'go-an'."

DJ: "... You are correct, Dave, 'goan' is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?"

Caller: "Goan fcuk yourself!"

The DJ cut the caller short and took other calls, all unsuccessful until:

DJ: "96FM, what's your name?"

Caller: "Hi, me name's Jeff."

DJ: "Jeff, what's your word?"

Caller: "Smee... spelt S-M-E-E, pronounced 'smee'."

DJ: "... You are correct, Jeff, 'smee' is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?"

Caller: "Smee again! Goan fcuk yourself!"

I noticed alot that when someone is talking to me, I often find myself thinking about something else when I should be paying attention to them. It's as if they are completely tuned out. I'm not doing it deliberately either. If this doesn't sound like ADD, then what else could it be?

Sleeping problems. Sex. Coping with work. Social interaction.Pretends all she is fine but this exhaust her and she takes it out on me at home.Bulimia.Irregular menstruation.Lies to cover up internal conflicts.Has an elderly mom - who means well, but I believe may contribute to her instability - !?
I have lived with my partner for 3 years and gradually seen deterioration in all the above. I have suffered alone trying to help and be understanding. She went for counselling , but at £20-30 a hit became costly.
Had a bad childhood and now seems to be creeping into her adult life. I love her dearly; but fear that living with her sometimes irrational fears.."so and so does nt like me" - from just looking at a person. To lately I am the cause of her problems!!? has damaged or starting to damage me too. I became totally focussed on trying to help her because I love her so much and my work and I believe my state of mind too has begun to suffer.
Please help. Anyone with similar experiences

Do they think they are funny? Do they really want to huirt others? Are they really insignificant
"little" people with an inferority complex, or just attention craving children that never left their momma's breast? What if some of these bad things happened to their loved ones? Are they capable of giving love? They can't be loved by anyone, their personalities are so bad that people just laugh at them instead of with them
and they are wished away with anyone with any
intelligence, their "friends" are all sociopaths that
could be serial killers, rapists and general blights
on society. How do we rid the internet from these fools? Lets see how many of these "ameobas" send smart alec answers to this question!
