Mental Health - November 2006

Do you ever feel like you are standing in the middle of an overcrowded room screaming and falling at their feet and no-one even looks up. All you want is for one person to notice, to pick you up and to hold you and take all the pain away but no-one can. So you choke on your own pain and tears and screams until there is nothing left. Until you are empty and dead inside.

My son will not.. Do his homework when I tell him to only on his own or take shower or brush his teeth when I tell him but if I don't tell him he will do it eventually.. If anyone tells him what to do he will not do it is there a disorder he may have? So we can get this fixed.

Think about it for a second before you answer... wouldn't they be too afraid of even making an appointment with someone or talking to a doctor about it to tell them what's going on? I mean, I'm terrified of talking to anyone, so I don't know, maybe I have social anxiety disorder, but "anyone" includes doctors and everything, so there's no way in hell I could ever work up the nerve to actually tell anyone that in real life. I can't even deal with calling a friend on the phone to ask about a homework assignment, let alone a complete stranger to make an appointment to talk about something that's actually embarassing! So what I don't get is how anyone can actually be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, cause it seems to me that if they made it as far as being diagnosed then the probably don't have it.

People tend to think that people who cut themselves just do it for attention, but a lot of people do it not for attention at all and hide it, and it's two completely different things, but you only see the first kind cause the second one's invisible, but the point is that for a lot of people it's not an attention thing. But anyhow, I cut myself, and sometimes when I do it it's cause I'm mad at myself or upset about something and I just don't want to feel it anymore, but sometimes when I do it I want nothing more than for someone to see the cuts and do something about it, help me somehow. But even if that's what I was thinking when I did it, then afterwords I don't want anyone to see, and I wear long sleeves even in summer to hide it. But since when I do it I sometimes do want people to notice, then is it just attention seeking?

Sometimes, when I'm doing things without paying attention It takes me longer to recall what I just did, such as putting my Ipod on hold instinctly and not remembering whether I did it or not. Do I have short term memory loss? I can remember 8 numbers out of 9 in a short term memory test.

I've been on medication most of my life for ADHD.
I'm just now beginning to realize that some of my mood swings, thoughts patterns, and even personal problems could be attributed to Strattera the drug i'm currently on. I'm knew to this area, young, and no longer live my parents. I don't really know any creditable doctors and am not sure if I have the ability to discern between them anyway. I need to figure out a remedy, especially for some of these depressive feelings and exhausted feelings that I'm getting. What should I do?

What are the signs of someone who self-harms, as in cutting?
I think one of my friends might but i'm not for sure.
Is there a website that might help?
Thanks.

i know that part of the anxiety stems from the fact that when i was 15 i had two seizures i am now 23 they did every test under the sun mri cat scan eeg sleep deprivation eeg all that stuff and found nothing wrong i have been told on countless occasions by many professional s including neuro surgeons and the psycolgist i have just started seeing that they will never happen again but it still does not stop me worrying and gettin really bad panic attacks obviously i think that everytime i have a panic attack i think iam having a seizure. the anxiety is definately at it worst when i am going off to sleep or when i am alone but it still hits me when i am around people as welli believe that it is something i can get through without meds and i think the pyscolgist and his reassurance will help is anyone else in the same boat or has been in the same boat and got through without meds because i am apprentice electrician i need to be aware at all times and i fear i would be mentally addicted

I've always been more emotionally sensitive than normal about most things in life and it gets in the way of many aspect of my life. To be more normal like the majority, I wonder if there is medication I could take to fix this.

Any suggestions?

but the winter screws with me. I get depressed, and yes all teenagers get depressed but i get to the point where all i do is cry and get stress knots all down my sholders and back. The past two witners i end up cutting (no im not proud). I've talked to my mom about it and we've had coversations about seeing someone but my moms never made an appointment. I'm really afraid of winter and i already have stress knots in my shoulders already. I'm not sure how to bring it up with my mom either so should i just see what happens? I'm really lost and not quite sure what to do.
