Mental Health - November 2006

I see it as setting aside a certain day of the year to celebrate the birth of the Saviour. It don't matter what date I use. I'm sure every day of the year has been used for something evil in the past.

I am not sitting around worshipping multiple gods, and I am not celebrating paganism in any manner.

Here is my Q, what are the specifics of this pagan holiday that people try to invalidate the celebrating of the birth of Christ with.

When , what religion, what did they do. Not that it matters, but educate me.

serious answers only please.

Thank you in advance,

God Bless

Brief background: about 5 years ago experienced random episodes of a spacey depersonalized feeling that made me feel irritated and snappy, along with a severe problem with focusing or concentrating. I went to my doc and he prescribed me Effexor XR. My dose never went past 75mg. And as of the last 2.5 years I have got it down to dividing my 37.5 into thirds. I have wained myself down because I do not have depression at all, im very content, and my anxiety is not any more than average. I did not want to be on a med forever if i did not have a concrete reason as to why I should be on it.

Main issue: I know that effexor works on serotonin at the doses i am on... Straterra is known to work on norepinepherine, thus the reason it didnt curb the irritated spacey feeling i have... I am at my witts end here with this damn annoying feeling, its not debilitating just bad if it happens at work, and my girlfriend is not a fan and i dont blame her.

Does anyone else feel like this? please help.

I was on effexor and welbutrin for few days on each and they both seemed to wire me up and make me worse on their 2nd or 3rd day. Which family of anitidepressants tend to make people relaxed and just normal? Those one's gave me more anxiety. Are the older technology anitdeperssant better for what I am looking for? I have not had much luck with the new ones. Please give me names of few brands so I can discuss them with my doctor.thanks

I am a "cutter" and I also have burned. I seek therapy and been in and out of rehab over the same stuff. I can not get a grasp on how to control my compulsions to cut. Any advice on websites or groups or good coping mechanisms would be greatly appreciated.

If you are bipolar, what symptoms do you have that you attribute to it that are not listed in the diagnostic criterea?
I have been diagnosed as bipolar type I and i guess i'm sort of in denial.

I'm reluctant to go to therapy because I feel like I'm being weak for seeing one. Or that it's only for people with serious mental issues.
I also feel that the therapist is not going to give a damn about my problems. Why should I pour my feelings out to someone who could careless?

I wish I was born normal. I was born with a severe speech disorder and could'n't speak unitl I was 5. I was never able to make close friends. I was diagnosed with autism when I was two but I think that's nonsense because I have none of the symptoms. I'm now fully mainstreamed.

I was thinking of therapy because I have nobody to talk to. I don't trust anyone I know. I tired of feeling lonely and sad all the time. It's because I don't understand anything. Everything has to be explained to me. It's very embarassing.
Lately, I've been wondering more than ever how my life would've been like if I was born normal. All I know is that I would've been happier.

I have a friend that used to live with me. She met the guy across the street and moved her two children and herself in with him.

A couple of weeks ago she told him that she was leaving and had to go to a freinds house. It was about 10:00 and she left the kids with him. Well Saturday went by and no Sherri. Her boyfriend called her sister and she told her boyfriend that she would come and get the kids in the morning. Well she finally showed up Sunday morning about 10:00. Her boyfriend confided in me that she has a Crack problem. Well a big scene went down and the police got involved. She hadn't done anything wrong they said so she picked her kids up and left.

Well someone called protective services and they came to the house this past monday.

Well her boyfriend left her $50 this morning to get stuff for the house and no one has seen her since about 10:00 this morning again. She won't answer the phone and we know what sh's doing.

Would it be wrong of me to cal CPS???
