Mental Health - November 2006

My dad just won an election for County Commisioner this November. He was never around durring the week (at a confrence or in Columbus at a meeting) and on weekends he was at Dinners and partys for adults only. I was so happy he won. I thought we could be a family once again. Guess I thought wrong. Last week mom cracked out a bottle of champain to celebrate us being together for dinner for the first time in 5 months. When I was little I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux (becuase of so much stress. Lets just say my elementry days werent so good) and later on a learning disability. I had to go to consuling(hated it and quit going). My mom thinks I am over it. She tells me how proud she is that I dont have "moments" any more. But secretly I cry. Away from mom and dad. Some of it is dads fault. Some of it is school. Help me someone.

I feel very lazy lately, and I'm feeling like this for more than a year ... when I come home from college, I just stay home until the next day when going to college, I feel so lazy to go bring something or do something, and I even feel lazy to do essential things, like dinner, , cleaning or even studying... the only thing I do is watching TV or using the internet ... and I started enjoying sleeping a lot these days ... I read some papers about laziness lately, it didn't help much ... what's wrong with me ?!

When I was a kid, my mom had this "friendship" with a man in our neighborhood. He called her often, and she would talk in a low voice and giggle a lot. My dad worked long hours 7 days a week to support us, so she would invite her "friend" over to the house while he was gone, and they would sit close together on the couch or stand in the dark foyer and talk to one another in low, seductive voices. Once I snuck up on them and caught them hugging. I asked her later if they had kissed, and at first she denied it, but when I kept pressing, she said that they kissed once. Sometimes my mom, my little brother, and I would go on trips with this man and his son, and he and my mom would hold hands, or he would stand behind her with his hands on her waist, or he would rub her thigh under the table. Once I heard part of a suggestive voice message he left her that she had tried (unsuccessfully) to erase.

I have a close friend who seems to have made poor financial decisions. He bought two new cars within a 4 month period, left his job to start his own business, but without ample finances to support the business, and unexplained mood swings. One day he's completely depressed and worrying about things, and the next day he's on a high and talking about how he's going to be a millionaire and will own planes, boats, etc.

I have been receiving harrassing phone calls and letters and have informed the police. There has also been phone calls made to the police making allegations about me. The problem is that the police suspect me of doing it myself. I know that I'm not doing it delibrately but they think that I'm doing it without knowing it. They have got me really paranoid about this and I'm doubting myself. I'm getting TERRIFIED that it could be me without knowing it, I do suffer from depression and hearing/seeing things. I will be ringing my care co-ordinator about this tomorrow, but don't know how to handle this. If it is me, what could possibly be WRONG? It is also really upsetting my family. SERIOUS answers ONLY.

....I would prefer that this question be answered only by someone who has the personal experience with a mental illness like bipolar disorder. (including survivors, their family members, lovers etc. )...
My family says you have a problem you need to change. Don't worry about how we treat to you because if you change then you have that and that's all that matters. I say I am well aware that i have a problem, I am reaching out to you and telling you it's a problem I cannot handle alone, all I ask is that you recognize it and be more symphathetic. Don't just tell me I have a problem, Guide me through it. Help me better understand it and let me know what the limitations of my behavior are. they say you can't lash out at us and expect us help you,I lash out based on prior attempts to ask for help and being rejected therfore I am bitter towards my family and consider just leaving instead of trying. the people who shouldn't give up on me have and now i am full of resent. how do I change?

Ok..... **** it i cut 2 times today time 3 will be later. Its getting bad again i feel so low and tearful. Some tears have come down my face today. I fight not crying i never let it out till today. What do u do when u go from high to low so quick. Some times i think it would safer for me to stay at home. That way i can't really try a and kill myself coz i i don't know that i'm doing it half the time. I feel angry and tearfull in side me for no reason. I mean what would happen if i did try and end it all again. nothing...... nothing i just sent home thats it. Deep down i don't know how i feel. There's a deep dark place in our heads where only some people go, some go and come back and pop in and out ever so often. Some never come back......... I can only say i know where they go. I'm in danger of not coming back. Its where your bod is just a body and your soul and feeling have left. Sometimes you can't feel nothing just no feeling at all. I feel the tears bilding up inside me but i try to get them out but none flow. And if they do it only 2 3 and sting my eyes bad. I just can't feel like this no more. I can't be this girl no more but this girl is me. I try to get happy about things when i down but i can't i tr. I'm worried i'm losing it. I just want to feel better but with no meds or docs that say i'm just a low person and send me home when i try and die i have no hope. To feel hopeless all the time not knowing what to do with myself at night when u try and sleep and can't i ask for things to make me sleep. I'm not dead just floating i'm not dead just trying to sleep i'm scared but changing for the worst.

i'm taking an anti-depressant, effexor, and all i seem to do is sleep. I work nights, so i don't go to bed until like 4am, but i sleep until like 2:30pm, and i work again at 3:30pm. I seem to do this every day. Would the anti-depressants make me constantly sleep like this, every day? Any help?

Hi, I am a 24 yr old man who has been battling panic attacks for 8 yrs. It first started over simply reading a book at the age of 16. I was strolling at a bookstore and saw a book my history teacher mentioned about.
It was a book about Japanese atrocities committied in China during WWII and he warned students it contained graphic images. I remembered the warning but I was curious about what really happened and thought I could handle it at the age of 16. Really unwise decision on my part.
After looking at few disturbing images which were beyond my imagination, I was greatly disturbed, felt like fainting. So I closed the book and went home immediately. Since then, I have been suffering from PTSD, panic attacks which happen irregularly.
I have talked to my psychologist once about the problem but never dealt with it in depth. I am going to keep asking people around in real life to get help on this.
If any of you have dealt with panic attacks, could you offer me some advice?
