Mental Health - November 2006

For about a year now, when I'm sleeping and have a dream where I'm getting into a fight, I start throwing punches. My partner has been the night time punching bag for the most part, usually cause when I sart punching, I'm facing the back of his head. Once I even punched my cat when we were taking a nap.

It's weird when it happens because I'm very well aware of it while I'm sleeping. I remember what I'm dreaming about and it's usually a dream of me getting into a physical fight with someone. I end up waking myself up as I'm punching...has anyone else experienced this and is this something that may need some medical attention?

I can honestly say that I'm not holding back any anger or agressions, that would make sence, but without holding anything back, I just don't know what the cause of it is.

Hello All,

Please don't laugh. I do. I'm a regular joe with a professional job, loving family, and a nice girlfriend. However, I want to become a robot pirate (not pirating robots, but a mechanical sea raider). I'm seriously considering quitting my job and leave my family and go join a pirate ship. Am I insane? I once hinted to my family and they think i'm nuts! Please help!

What would be "required" if one wanted to check themselves into a hospital in order to help with depression and other feelings? How "bad" would one have to be in order to go in? Like, say if I told my parents that I think I'd like to be put into a hospital because therapy isn't working, antidepressants aren't helping, and even though they've helped ease things a little, all of the bad thoughts and feelings are still there... would it be a foolish decision of me to actually *want* to go in for in-patient treatment? Is it something one can choose to do?

I wish I could elaborate, but I don't want this question to be deleted. If you can help with any of the questions, I'd greatly appreciate it. You can even email me if you want. I just need some opinions.

Thank you.

She's been acting different lately, she claims that people eye r@pe her (say a man walks by her, she will honestly cry rape) and she thinks that every man in the world wants her, she goes around talking about her underwear (out loud) and complains that shes fat because shes "only" a size 4...is she suffering from something? i am very concerned, and yes i am very serious.

sometimes when I'm floating in between light and heavy sleep or just between being awake and falling asleep I will literally feel myself being grabbed and sunken in my bed and I go into strong seizures and halluncinate very badly. The hallucinations range from sounds of insane laughter to the feeling of a small monkey crawling on my head, and visions of swirling color patters like the sun all tie-died. I have to use all my energy to release myself from this state and afterward I feel very "used up" like..drained...and confused.

What's that all about?

AND WHEN I SAY DRUGS,
I MEAN THE LEGAL RX DRUGS.


Personally, I think 'just say no' shouldn't be such a double standard.
Drugs are drugs. That's a fact jack.

I certainly think high self esteem and self love are good ways to not worry about what other people think, and you're more likely to feel like you can do anything, thus making the odds of you being successful greater. I think low self-esteem is the anidote to happiness

I have read some of the other questions and the responses about the differences between psychiatrists and psychologists. I have been feeling very unhappy off and on for the past two years...should I make an appointment to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist to help determine what the problem is?

Every damn job that I have had, someone has pointed out to me that I am defensive, strong willed or something else. As far as being/ sounding defensive- I think that I am just overly sensitive and I try to work on it, but its like I cant. I dont know how to react to certain situations to where I end up reacting negatively about it. And end up hating everyone there. As far as strong willed- I dont see anything wrong with it other than it may seem that I may on the attack of that person when speaking to them. I dont mean to come across that way...I really dont. I just want to tell them to get my point across. I just cant take constructive critism well I guess.

I really dont know why I am this way. I cant explain it. I am so tired or people complaining about me, telling me that same **** over and over, my mom not wanting to listen to me and telling me that I whine and complain too much when she complains too and I have to hear about it

Any suggestions?

I have abrupt changes in mood, often have slutty or promiscuous behaviors and I constantly need positive (or negative, sometimes) attention from other people, especially the opposite sex otherwise I get depressed. Sometimes I have suicidal ideations but I have not ever planned anything formally... I also have experienced bouts of anorexia and binge eating as well as bulimic compensatory behaviors (laxitives, purging, etc..)

I've been depressed all my life, but its just recently that it has gotten to the point where I want to kill myself and end all the pain. I've started seein a therapist, but I still want to just end it. What should I do? I know that my death won't be a big deal, seeing that people that say they know me, haven't noticed that I'm in so much pain!

my doc prescribed Topamax to help get the weight off that I put on from all of my other depression meds. I have read conflicting articles about possible side effects...do you have any experiences, bad or good with Topamax for weight loss?

im always laughing at the wrong things at the wrong times. iv been doing this for 2 years now. sometimes its just something funny i remember in an instant, like part of a tv show. sometimes its like my brain is trying to play a joke on me by trying to embarass me, for example the word "european" repeating. sometimes i will relate something said or in a text book to something funny, or even ridiculous, for example, there was this picture of a boy and an old lady talking in my spanish book and the old lady reffered to the boy as "paco" and thats my dogs name and i had to hide my face and try to contain myself. sometimes i will laugh when i hear other peoples conversations, even if it wasnt intended to be funny and i wasnt the intended listener. the irony is that i am actualy not a very happy person. why do i do this?

When I go the mall I get really nervous. When someone walks by me I get nervous, and I always feel like everyone is focusing their attention on me and watching me or something. When I see attractive females walk past me I get extremely nervous as well. In school its kind a a problem too.

I am obsessed with becoming what I think is perfect. I am afraid if I start exercising then I will become completely obsessed with it and I may end up hurting myself. I dont have the money for a personal trainer. What should I do to be less obsessed, not with loosing weight, but being perfect in general.
