Mental Health - November 2006

Its been 4 years since ive used ecstasy, methamphetamines, and Lsd i used to do all three heavily and sometimes two or more of them at once add chronic alcohol and marijuana use. I did this all throughout highschool until i was 21. im 24 now and i quit ALL drugs and am somehow trying to slip back into normal life as if nothing ever happend as you would expect its been about 4 years and im not progressing im majorly depressed, and close to delusional and in heavy denial. Ive been living my life as if everything is ok and i fear that the truth is the only thing that may be left. it is possible that i may be close to braindead. Is this true? how would i know.. its been 4 years since i quit and i dont see any positive results...I dont think my Doctors understand. Does this type of thing happen to heavy drug users? can anyone relate.

My mom says I am just a "worry wart" and my pediatrician is passive with a "wait and see" attitude. My child is three and is showing some traits of the disorder.

I'm feeling crazy right now. I need to figure out what's wrong with me. I feel depressed. I feel like I have some mental condition, but maybe I don't and Im telling myself that to give myself an excuse for how crappy I am.

I was talking with my mom and she asked me why I don't hang out with anyone. She suggested that I don't feel like I fit in. Which is totally right, but it shouldn't be. I look normal, if not attractive. In fact I see girls checking me out a lot. But I don't feel normal and sometimes when I look into the mirror it's as if that person isn't really me, or im not good enough to be that person. I wonder why anyone really likes me because I see nothing in me.

Maybe I really am depressed. Maybe I just want attention. I really don't know. I shouldn't have any reason for being depressed. I only have one more day of school and then I have a big thanksgiving break. I should be feeling happy.

I think someone i love is clinically depressed but when i have tried to approach him about it in the past he gets very defensive. He has told me before he is depressed but i am afraid to bring it up or ask questions. He thinks only crazy people see psychologists, even though he knows i have seen one before. How can i get him to talk about it without him thinking i am attacking him or calling him a crazy person?

I have not really cried since i can't remember when. it's like there's a mental blcok. it's not like there is anything sopecific going on, just a pent up feeling that a good cry would help, but it's like there is a mental block. i have seen all the movies, heard the songs, read the poems, my eyes will get moist, but barely enough to wet the lashes and this lump gets lodged in my throat, but i can't cry. it's like something just shuts off. like there is a defense mechanism and i don't know how or when or why it appeared.

any idea how to turn it back on? how do i break down that wall and just get it out fo my system.

It is my brother, and I love him dearly. We are all concerned about his drinking, and everyone just wants to ignore it or not talk about it.

I was wondering if there was a good way to bring it up.....A few generations back we used to have alcoholism in the family, just not directly in ours growing up.

Thanks.

Lately I have been really sleepy and want to take a nap. I get enough sleep so why is this happening? The only thing I can think of is that the days are starting to get shorter. Why am I tired?

When taking Lexapro can you forget things you already knew or not remember things very easily? Is anyone having this issue?

Some psychological disorders are more common in women (for example, depression, agoraphobia, and borderline personality disorder), and some are more common in men (for example, substance abuse and antisocial personality disorder). Why do you think that is the case?

Like i am standing on the shoreline feet submerged in the shallow waves and my feet are sinking in the sand. The water rushes in and goes out again leaving your feet embedded and the water rushes around you and you are struggling to hold on to your footing when everything is dragging you down and in all directions so fast. This is my analogy for trying to hang on with mental illness.
