Mental Health - November 2006

I have a problem... whenever I try and say the words "The" or "This" or "There", my mind won't let me say it... and if I do try and say it, i stutter uncontrollably. But if I am alone, I can say the word perfectly. How do I stop this?

if something makes you feel better, why stop taking it?
feel sure that the symptoms will come back, as i have been depressed long-term.
am having counselling now too
am i entitled to continue on them if i so wish?
after all, it's my body and mind
aren't they supposed to listen to the patient?

i dont think that suicide is as selfish as people make it out to be...most things that people do nowadays is for themselves so if a person feels as though its there time to leave then why is this selfish when they are only doing what they really want to do? okay i know it is a truely HORRIBLE thing for familys and friends to have to deal with in the aftermath but they have to think of what that person had to be going through to actually kill themselves....i am truely sorry if this question offends anybody or if anybody had to deal with the aftermath themselves...

hear a song, it makes me cry,. How do I stop being so sensitive and grow stronger as a person mentally? Does that run in the family because my mother is like that also?

I'm normally a pretty happy-go-lucky person. Lately I have been up and down. I get very angry so easy and lose my cool at the drop of a hat, then I just want to hide and cry and "throw in the towell", so to speak. I just get so overwhelmed and feel like I cant cope. Any body else experience this? What should I do so I dont have to live this way. I have children and it's not good for them either.

Does anyone have any information on the psychological effects of murder? I am hoping to find some type of information that shows how it effects a person and how hard it is to cope with. Particularly I am looking at abused women/men who kill their violent partners, however I believe information about people in war who must kill will work also. Please cite your information so I can read it at the source. Thank you!

Before you even say anything, I'm not interested in changing, I'm just looking for differant oppinions that what have been given to me.

I don't have any friends, none at all. And I'm happy with it. I am 17, one class from finishing highschool, and I live with my mother. The last "friend" I had was in the 6th grade. I say "friend" because I never really was good at talking with people.

If someone in school talks to me, I inore them. This ofcourse causes some people to become offended, and like humans do, attack me(verbaly, mostly). People seem to be so offended that I choose not to partake in the same social activities that they do.

My Mother has sent me to many therapists who have tried to do nothing but put me on differant drugs, that I refuse to take. I'm no longer depressed, now that I understand myself. I'm very happy with my hobbies, very happy alone. I don't plan to have a mate, or any one to live with.

I am very happy with the though of this life, do you think it is wrong?

All the commercials I hear on the radio or see on TV really piss me off. First off everyone has ups and downs in their lives, no matter what. So people who might just not be doing so well at the moment might go do a doctor, ask about a drug, and get prescribed something when they're really not depressed. In fact I think most anti-depressants don't even work that well and have bad side-effects, I don't know about you but I wouldn't want a foreign chemical in my brain. Not to mention placebos work about as well.

I admit some people are really messed up and do need certain drugs to level them out, but it's getting out of hand, the drug companies aren't out to help people anymore, they're out to make a profit.

Honestly, is it just not okay to just not care any more. People just need to worry about themselves.

I was prescribed prozac 3 weeks ago and have consumed a lot of alcohol also during these 3 weeks! I think i have had very bad side effects of panic attacks, sleeplessness, anxiety etc. I have decided to stop taking this medication.

Can i expect any adverse reactions to stopping this medication after only 3 weeks of taking it?

He’s 36 years old and is very over weight and I am almost 100% sure it’s cause of the alcohol. He drinks virtually every day. He is depressed almost all the time I see him and always talks about how much his life sucks. He lives at home with his mom and dad.
I try to be a good influence and tell him to quite drinking and he will lose the weight, save money, move out of the parents house, etc. I also told him that if he keeps it up he will be dead in the next ten years. I’m concerned cause he is my brother.

I've battled clinical depression for years and one of the unfortunate things for me is that I respond to anti-depressants in two ways:

1.) They do little or nothing for me

OR

2.) The side-effects are so horrific and severe that I have to stop taking them: drugs like Effexor and Zoloft are like that for me.

Does any one know of any type of psychiatric medication (and only legal prescriptions, please) that bring on a sense of elation and self-confidence?? Please, serious answers only.

There is a lot of mental illness in my family. My paternal grandpa was an alcoholic, had dementia and died from Alzheimers. Two of his sisters, as well as his parents, all suffered from mental illness and killed themselves at different times. Sometimes I worry for my dad, who is 50 now. What are things I can do to reduce getting Alzheimers or dementia? I'm 18 now.

The guy that I started seeing, knows about the rape. I've told him not in alot of detail, but mentioned that I have nightmares, flashbacks, and panic attacks now. He has been very good about giving me space and not trying to kiss me or anything. We've been seeing each other quite a bit the past month, so I know that he will try soon. Sometimes I want him to, other times the thought of even holding his hand or hugging him terrifies me. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to handle this? I don't want him to try to kiss me and me go into a panic attack and lock myself in the bathroom for hours
