Mental Health - November 2006

I've been on Wellbutrin 150XL for about 3 years and forgot to take it for about 5 days, then decided to just stop it completely. Wondering what kind of effect that might have, as I seem to have more trouble getting to sleep, oddly enough.

I think there must be a name for this -- as one wouldn't be able to eat it, would have to even spit it out if attempted and start feeling anxiety/lightheadedness, ill.

I have so much on my plate right now. I work full time, go to school full time, and have kids, a husband, and a house to take care of. My family DOES help out alot but, I can't seem to relax and ENJOY life or my time with them. I hate being on edge all the time and I know it's affecting them as well. I feel like I can't even catch my breath. Help?

I'm 20 m in college studying engineering.
Ever since our family vacation this summer (after we came home) I've been getting depressed (maybe 1 to three times a week for hours at a time). I don't have any friends, I've never been on a date.

I get depressed when I can't distract myself from my feelings and I start to talk myself down inside my head until I'm very sad. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed, my eyes tear up when I think about what my future will be...

A-co worker of mine periodically has this "impending doom" (panic attacks)for no reason. Sometimes the things she worries so much about do happen, but mostly not.
How can she help herself??

I am pretty sure that I am a chronic depressed person, but I do not want to be on medication, I have been on alot and at one point tried to kill myself when I was on a whopping dose of uppers and downers. I have also seen many counselors, MD's, psychologists etc... and talking makes me feel ok for the time but 3 days later I am overwhelmed by life again, normal things like what to make for dinner and what to play with my son and how to handle bills etc etc etc... things that other people just do I have to really plan out and dwell on and get severely anxoius about. I never have thoughts of hurting myself or my son or anyone else I just feel down and out... do you have any suggestions of things I can do short of medicine to help curb this?

I'm trying to gather info for a stepparent adoption and my ex has bipolar disorder and refuses to take any medication. There have been stays in the psych ward and suicide attempts. My son is autistic and I believe it to be in his best interest if the bio father's rights were terminated. There has been no contact for almost a year. My son has problems with routine changes (symptom of autism) and having a bio father pop in and out of his life could be harmful.

Is the Shrink being evaluated by the other Shrink for technique while the Shrink is listening, or do you think the Shrink denies being a Shrink when he goes to a Shrink?

I need some indication how long before I might be close to "normal"? How long before I will be full functioning again? I ask for my own knowledge but also for information to give my overly protective and involved parents. I also have three children and would like how to know how this will effect them in the long run. I am also at the beginning of a divorce-is this something I should put off until I feel more stable? I am very sure I do not want to be married any more, I just don't want to make a huge mistake because of the bipolar or is this just a excuse? I don't know how much of my life problems can be blamed on being bipolar. Help!
