Mental Health - November 2006

Oh... God... It's yet another week of dealing with him. Thankfully it is a short week. I had most of 2005 to put-up with him. all of 2006. I will have all of 2007 to put-up with him. and half of 2008, then I can request a transfer. I am not totally sure if it is a histrionic personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder, He is a classic attention junkie Hypochondriac.
His latest antics include scheming on how to buy PS3s, Ninento Wiis, trying to sell them on Ebay for several times their value. He started talking about that like two weeks ago and has not stopped since.
I tried to tell him stuff, which he didn't listen. what a total A--hole.
He was laughing about some shooting, just like how he laughed about the murders in Montreal, Canada. I said to him "and you find that funny."
I have him figured out. He is always seeking attention, good positive, negative, or wanting people to feel sorry for him. He will lie to get it, he will tell the truth to get it.

I have been having councelling for depression but find it impossible to talk to her. I can only talk to one person as a friend who is the university chaplain, but he will be leaving to work at a local church.No one else not even my family will acknowledge that i have a problem. Anyway is it right to ask if i can still see him when he leaves if something is wrong?

Cadesmom, I was really moved by the answer you gave about your best every xmas present. Mine was my daughter going into a re-hab and getting sober. But a lot of people try to close them down saying that only, something like 5% are helped. Well even one person like you, or my daughter, is worth keeping them open. What do other's think.

I mean he will go and say something I dont like, to me just to get me angry or in a bad mood...he has even admitted this, he is 32 years old btw.
He will antagonize me to the point where I just start screaming at him and he does it on purpose, I dont understand it.
He actually likes to piss me off and cause me stress, I am 26.
Why does he do this???

My son who is now 10 was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and at the time I refused medication as I prefered to try to correct the behaviour with behaviour therapy. Well this has worked to a degree but his aggression is really starting to show more and more and is mainly directed towards his younger brother. He is very strong physically and can inflict a lot of pain if he wants to on the other hand he can be a very loving affectionate boy too. I want to get help for him before it is too late and the aggression takes too firm a hold.

Do you think people addicted to crack can ever really get over it or do you think it's an addiction they will always have?

Intense itching and a feeling of electric sparks hitting your skin?

body parts tend you go numb or fall asleep easy?

Abdominal cramping on both the left and right sides after eating?
(I have been checked by a Doctor and they do not know why this is, I am suspecting its from adderall)

Sudden Panic attacks?

When I get the intense itching, I found taking a Clariton for allergies settles it right down, but I am just wondering if anyone else has better ideas.

I have been on Adderall for 2 for Adult ADD and it really changed my life and I don't want to go back the way I was. However I am also wondering if anyone taking Adderall has had any long term damaging effects?

My (over a year long) crush thinks my best friend is hot. I'm taking 3 AP's and my grades are going down the drain. I feel super ugly and not worth anyone's time and all my physical insecurities have come out. I have a headache from my braces being tightened. I think I'm depressed, but my parents won't believe me. The only thing keeping me alive right now is excercise, and that high won't even last for more than 10 hrs. HELP!

I have been married to my wife for 13 years and I can no longer accept her addiction to alcohol.
Psychotherapy-refused treatment.
Pharmacotherapy-receiving 300+mg cocktail of different drugs every day.
I have attempted to talk to her about her problem but she keeps getting drunk every week, drinking about 1 75cl bottle of spirits in one session. By the way, she has OCD too. Should I cut her loose? Or am I being cruel to somebody I still love? I am only 43 and am frightened that the rest of my life will be wasted looking after her.

I was diagnosed with ADD about a month ago, and I was wondering if having ADD or taking Ridilin (sp?) to treat it affects your lifespan. I'm not necessarily worried, so don't go easy on me with your answer.

I have a family member, I'll call Joe, who is 33 yrs old, of normal inteligence, who has trouble functioning in society because his reasoning is soooo bizzar! His wife & children left him recently and it makes all of us very sad. He has trouble holding down a job, he will lock onto ideas that he heard when he was younger (that have nothing to do with his situation)and he tries to force family members to apply them to him. Its hard to explain. Doctors called him depressed awhile back (not bipolar) but I don't think that's it, all the medicine didn't help at all. I met someone who told me of a "reasoning disorder", (I can't remember the name) and said that Joe's reasoning pattern sounded exactly the same as her son. She also said there was no medicine to fix it. They have to go through behavior modification exercises, which is easy to do with a child but not an adult who has no logic in his reasoning. Can someone help me with the name of the sickness IF you've ever heard of it?
