Mental Health - October 2006

for no apparent reasons, i will feel a rush coming on, followed by a weird metallic smell, and the inability to express myself . i break out in a sweat, and lasts only a minute.
it usually happens in batched every 30 minutes, for a day, then won't happen again for months.
i went to ER once, and all tests were negative.
thanks for all opinions.

About five years ago, i got saved and baptised. But i got too obsesive about God. Now i pray all the time, every day. I have been doin this pretty much since i got saved. But now i have gotten really bad. I still love God, but I think that satan is makeing me think that i have done bad things. Like once i made eye contact with this guy on a bike and thought something like " he might crash and die" but it fells like i tried to hurt him, even though nothing was gonna happen. I have done this stuff before. I guess what started this was the fear of going to Hell. even though I am not, satan is trying to bring me down and ruin my life. maybe i need stuff to get my mind off things. thanks for reading, but i will never kill myself, that sends you to Hell, and it wont help.

I seriously feel like most people genuinely do not like me. I feel like when I'm around, people do not see me or do not want to talk to me, etc. This has happened all my life, now that I look back. Even when my kids misbehave, they don't listen to me unless I am yelling and screaming.

I'm really scared of going to the doctor, and I'm trying to get rid of that fear and I'm going to schedule an appointment tomorrow for Saturday. I have a constant pounding headache, especially in my temples, and I'm interested in what I could possibly be diagnosed with besides a migraine. (I believe I'll need a brain scan, that's why)

She has a history of mental problems. She calls me to talk and has never offered me her phone number because she says people harrass her, so in short her idea is dont call me, I'll call you. Restricted number comes up when she calls. She thinks people are tampering with her car and going thru her house. The fire dept showed up at her house on a fire call which came out of her house at 3 am, and she claims someone is harrasing her and making calls out of her house to the fire dept. She says someone has molested her 23 yr old son and she is going to figure out who and she believes he is doing drugs because he is never home. She thinks all of his friends are taking advantage of him because he doesnt tell her where he is 24/7. How do you deal with someone who is so paranoid? Hospitalization not an option. She is too paranoid to go.

2nd grade, in new school, can't stop talking, can't do work, falls off chairs, keeps getting in trouble, has to be the loudest kid, makes goofy noises, hyper, won't listen, dad not around, can't keep hands to himself, goes to principals office, they want to have a meeting, since kindergarten been to 3 psy. docs & starting new pediatrician. School calls me everyother day, been on Adderall, Straterra, Concerta & Ridalin, all made him hyper or mean, speeding out, fast heart beat - was in hospital. At my wits end! Don't want to medicate him. Exhausted! He can be very smart & very sweet. But gets mean, mad, can't get along w/ other kids in school. Doesn't hear me to get dressed, doesn't look out in parking lots. In overdrive & charged as teacher would say. What can we put him on to slow him down? Tired of doctors & therapists. Nothing working! School iced head today cuz he fell off chair. Been like this since kindergarten. Birth was ok, diagnosed w/ developmental delay at 1 yr.

She has nausea, vomiting, extreme vertigo, diarrhea, headaches, etc. Is there anything she can do to dull this in anyway without retaking a paxil??? We called the ER doctor and he just suggested to take a xanax. She stopped taking it about 10 days ago and the symptoms started right then and have gotten progressively worse. Any advice would be GREAT. Thanks...-A Worried Daughter.

would it be acceptable/professional and do you think it is a good look to wear Pumas with a suit?
do u think that is a good look, also?? i don't like the fit of dress shoes (wingtips etc) and i have to wear a suit sometimes. when i do, i was wondering if anyone thought it would be acceptable/professional to wear some black pumas with a black suit (other color suits matching as well too) I SAW JOHN LEGUIZAMO DO THIS ON ER quite often. He would wear them all the time with dress pants and suits. I am going to be a psychologist, by the way to get an idea of how professional that this would be

I have been a self-injurer for 3 years now. I recentley stopped and am trying to recover. I have been lookig around online and I came across Bordeline Personality Disorder. I read about it and its symptoms...and I have it totally describes me! I want to go see a doctor about it, but don't know how to tell my parents that I think I have this mental illness. My parents always make up excuses, saying that it is just my age, or it's because I'm on my period. But i truly do believe that I have Borderline Personality Disorder. The more I read about it the more it describes me. I just want to get help so that I can stop feeling the way I do.

I know that this is related to the concentration in the blood, and I'm assuming that this isn't something that's going to occur from a mistaken double dose. So how much Lithium is actully a fatal dose?

is everyone taking some type of medication? Are the doctors out here in cahoots with the pharmasutical companies?? I mean if we all sat down in a room wouldn't we all be suffering from something...we all get sad and feel like crawling into a hole sometimes. And who doesn't sometimes not know if they are coming or going? Personally I think we're all over-medicated, over-stressed, and just plain old looking for an easy fix to all of lifes tests. Does anyone agree??

It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing — a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E = mc², in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. -albert einstein

How about now?
