Mental Health - November 2006

I really don't know what's wrong with me. I don't feel like doing anything almost everyday and I always feel like crying. I feel big and fat and I feel as if I won't ever succeed in losing weight, so who cares? I'm fifteen, going on sixteen, isn't my life supposed to be exciting and crazy right now? What am I doing? Every day I wake up, I feel like I'm sinking and falling apart and the only thing in my head says 'Just get through this stupid day'. And another day passes and I say this again the next morning. Is this normal? Even my sister makes fun of me and I don't even have my studies to prove my worthiness anymore. My sister is skinny and fashionable and beside her, I feel like a lump with nothing. I don't feel that there's any meaning to life anymore. What does depression feel like? How do I get past this and become tougher? Is it ok to just have this kind of thinking when you're fifteen?

Well, I have 26 now, but there have been instances when people have told me that I have it. When I was a kid I didn't have many problems in school; I got good grades all the time. Now, when I'm in class - I have to answer the questions out loud and "disturb" other classmates ... am I weird or what? HELP!

Im really at the pit of depression. I actually had a glass of scotch. I usually wait till the kids are in bed. Its 9am. So much is happening in my world and I cant seem to get a good break. Doubt I ever really would but I fantasize about leaving but couldnt hurt my family,who Im not very nice to anymore anyway. I see someone once a week but I need some serious help right now. W/xmas coming Im obsessing over my baby who died in my arms last March and a memorial for him is this month. My other two kids are always "being kids" but right now I need peace and solitude. Desperatley and it seems the only way to get it is by forcing it by leaving(not what I really want). My patience is totally non existant and Im thinking about killing the pets Im always tripping over. Dont knowck me,I need some help.

I'm 9 years old and 4' 5" My mom's side of the family is really tall, my mom's almost 5' 7". But my dad's side of the family is really short. My aunts from my dad's side are like 4' 11" or 5' or something like that. But my aunts from my mom's side are like 5' 6" or 5' 7". My uncles from her side are like 6' or something like that, and her father and cousins are all really tall. I did this thing on the computer and it said i'll be about 5' 5". But my sister's only 5' 2" and she's 18 years old. So how tall do you think i'll grow?

My siblings and I believe she's had some mini-strokes lately, and besides being forgetful, we're concerned that she's no longer safe to drive. She refuses to go to see a specialist (neurologist recommended by her family doctor) because she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her. My Dad is in a nursing home with dementia and his disease began very much like these symptoms in my mom. Help! She can get very nasty and belligerent with her daughters and has a mean streak a mile long.

Where does the "All or Nothing" mentality come from? All Liberals are this, all Conservatives are that, I've never understood it. Let's take the issue of abortion: Pro-Choice means that whether or not the person in question agrees with the idea of abortion, and personally, I'm not too keen on it, they recognize the descision is not theirs to make. The name "Pro-Abortion" is moreso AoN; the message conveyed is either you're on the side that rejects abortion or the side that wants all women to have abortions. Same with Gun Control. Personally, I side with the right on this, due to the fact that anything can be used to kill someone, even one's bare hands. Making handguns illegal isn't going to do anything except a possible decrease in homicide concerning firearms alone, assuming that the offenders in question abide by the gun laws: the thing that makes a criminal a criminal is that they do not obey the laws, therefore would not abide by a gun law. Comments?

I have started having more severe symptoms of anxiety within the last 6 months. I was diagnosed a few years ago by my physician; however, I declined medication because I do not believe in medication for early treatment. In time my symptoms, not serious at the time, had dissipated on their own. Now I'm having much more pronounced symptoms that are starting to worry my fiancé... such as hair falling out, sharp shaking when relaxed or sleeping, and not ever sleeping at night due to not being able to stop thinking. My nerves are shot due to stress and anxiety. There has to be some treatment methods, non-medical, that can help out. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I am doing a specialist study on trauma, with reference to complex PTSD. I believe it is possible to understand the type of event that caused the original trauma from observing the patient's response to subsequent (perceived as threatening) events. For example when PTSD was caused by an event involving being trapped indoors, under some circumstances claustrophobia may result.

I want, if possible to determine if the symptom can be used as an accurate determinant of the type of event that caused the injury. Are there any studies, books or papers that have been published on this area? Any sources would be really helpful.

Also, I'd be interested to know if there is a reliable definition of the boundary between the uncontrolled sudden PTSD reaction to an event, and the stimulation of an alter personality in Dissociative Identity Disorder. Is it just a matter of the time taken to respond to the threatening event? Again any written sources would be great

I'm just wondering why every time I call my health care consulting nurse they always ask if I'm depressed and then, if i say I don't know, or Yes, it goes on to if I have thoughts of hurting myself or anyone else... or thoughts of suicide. I just called about getting something so i could sleep... I know, sleeping problems are often related to stress and other more serious problems... but even if a person were to answer yes to a question like that, What would the consulting be able to do? ... Just wondering.

Although I love him very much, living with him can sometimes be extremely difficult. He is just now starting to get professional help for PTSD, after being home for a year. I was just wondering if any one could give me some advice on how to help him at home too?

I always considered myself a very patient person, but when he's throwing his "fits" as we call them, it is extremely hard for me to not lose my temper also.
