Mental Health - November 2006

I need something to help with anxiety and panic attacks. The doc has me on zoloft and xanax. I am always tired and a bunch of other horrible side affects. I want something natural that is going to help. Vitamins or herbal meds or something. Any suggestions?

My girlfriend isnt a Manic depressant or even Bipolar but she does get depressed periodically and sometimes little things I say can trigger it. When I ask her whats wrong she gets mad and for a while we fought a lot because I knew something was wrong but she wouldnt tell me anything. The other day I was able to get her to come out of it by talking about funny things almost ignoring that she is depressed all together. Does anyone know any techniques on how to pull her out of it. I cant leave her alone because I hate to see her that way because when shes not we are so connected to one another. I cant let it go whe she is acting like she is in a coma.

It started when I was 7. We were in the car and she was telling my dad how she was going to end it and that he better go to the police befor she really does it. That was because she got in a fight with here mom.

Betweent that time she became severly deppresed and me and my brother would hide in his room all day while she would watch soup opreas and drink. Around this time I began haveing learning proublems. I was 8 and he was 6. We were afraid of mother and I would spend the days entertaining him untell My dad came home.

The when I was 10 both of my parents became acohalecs, at times being emotionly abusive towered me and my brother. I became tired of always watching him and I started to want to kill my self. Evrey thing was hell and I hated life. Home was horrible. My parents fought often.

When I was 11 things seemed to calm down, but my parents still fought.

And now from 12 on My mom seems to thing that my dad is haveing an affair, she cheacks all of his

I have been sad, cry a lot and am really homesick. People have told me that I seem less myself lately. I have been really stressed with work and my typically irregular period has skipped a month. I have also been very nauseous and vomiting. Should I see a doctor immediately and do these signs seem typical of depression?

My horribly incompetent doctor's office hasn't refilled my Paxil and yes, the withdrawls are very bad and I'm alone and very scared. I have Effexor and Lexapro in the house. Which should I take? I can't leave the house. I DON'T leave the house. I'm agoraphobic. My husband had no choice but to go out of town this week for work. Besides my poor sick doggy and my cats, I'm alone and scared out of my mind. I have health insurance, cash and a buttload of credit; So why can't the damn doctor just refill it? Don't they know what can happen? What IS happening? I'm dizzy, lightheaded, naseous, have an upset stomach, diarrhea, crying, fear... I'm so SCARED!!! Who will care for my poor dog if I go to a hospital? How do I go when I'm afraid to leave the house? Will they commit me b/c I'm so nutty right now???

The meaning of our existence that we've been brainwashed to know are all lies! They don't want anyone to know that we aren't really humans but are actually barbie dolls! Barbie is Eve and Ken is Adam, they've also been around for decades for they are our first ancestors! Don't you see how this all makes sense! God created us because he got bored and wanted to play. So that's why we're here. We're all dolls. Earth is also a beachball that we dolls reside in. I am the truth!

I have been feeling incredibly depressed over the last four months. I split up with my gf, who i am still v. much in love with, and have started losing hair rapidly - i am 26. I moved country to be with this girl and now have feelings that i have to rebuild my life. I cry a lot in my apartment and can't seem to get my head right.
I worry that i will never get into a relationship again if i go bald. I have lost a lot of my confidence and everything in my life feels bleak... there is nothing good. I also despair at feeling so weak,and that i have no stength and nothing to give anyone.

I have a masturbation/porn addiction and have been trying desperately to be free from it. I have tried filters, therapy and recently installed Internet accountability program to be accountable of my web activity.
Before I had mb/porn addiction, I was suffering from severe depression. Being naive about depression, I thought I was supposed to overcome it with pure willpower. It only made things worse.
I desperately needed to find an escape route from enormous pains caused by severe depression. I didn't want to turn to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex cuz I knew they were wrong and destroy people's lives. I tried sports, activities, reading, riding bicycle but those only made me feel better temporarily and didn't fix my severe depression.
Then I found Internet porn which I thought of as nothing more than a guy thing. Since then, I have been self-medicating with porn whenever I am stressed/depressed. In another words, I became addicted.
Can anyone familiar with my problem offer me advic

I love this beautiful, wonderful woman and I know the feelings are mutual, but it seems like she won't let herself experience or express that feeling. She is really not commited to anything in life. She works hard, but I really think it's only to try and forget that she is avoiding commitment. I am just wondering if anyone can shed light or share experiences on fear of commitment. How does it manifest itself? Has anyone had success dealing with it? I want to hope, but I don't really know what I'm getting into. I know I can't change her or help her unless she asks for it. I am just hoping to set some reasonable expectations for myself if I choose to pursue this further.

I've just started taking prozac four days ago, I know it'll be a few weeks before I feel any effect, but I want to know if anyone has suffered from any side effects while taking it. Since I've started I've had moderate pains in my stomach and sides but nothing too bad. Also will I need to take any vitiman supplements with it like you do when you take an anti-biotic?

I'm 19 years old and I sometimes get depressed because I don't like myself. I mean I'm not ugly, but is something that I don't discuss with no one. I used to listen to rap/reggaeton and I've quit listening to them because most of their lyrics are full of hate and vanity (there is no more soul to most of these music). Of course I haven't entirely giving up on these two genres because there are still talented artists who either sing about real day issues or love. Sometimes I get angry and I turn into gangsta rap (I don't want to by the way). What music do you suggest that I should listen to when I'm stress/angry? Then there is my porn addiction. I want to quit, but I can't. What do you suggest? I'm a real bright kid in school, and I like reading. It takes me to some other person's life (more interesting than my own life). I sometimes want to cry, or commit suicide(well really no, but I think of it). I even get happy when I go to sleep. I get really sad. Give me some advice

Just wondering what can happen to you if you take Prozac (Fluoxetine) with other 'non-prescription' drugs i.e: ecstacy, speed, marijuana?
What effect can this have on the body? Can it kill you or cause major problems?
