Mental Health - November 2006

I know I suffer from Depression and I am very Depressed over my Money Problems in Life. I work for myself as a Handyman and I am not very happy doing it. It seems that when I get slow I quote too low on the jobs and I lose More money on them.
I used too have a good job in a large company But the Industry Has dryed up. Now being in my early 50's I work for my self as a Handyman. I find customers treat me as a a lower servent then a pro. I get so depressed that sometime I gas up the truck and take a long rides along the beaches of longisland and not show up for work. I am like a kid playing Hookie. I always was a hard worker all my life now I could give a Dam!!!!!! This is not Me!!!!!!

I just read a question about 'dyspraxia' which I've never heard of before, but my 8 year old son has some of these symptons. I know he has severe dyslexic tendencies (some symptons of which are similar to those described for dyspraxia - some described he has none at all) - should I worry?. Who should I talk to?

I need to know if I should tell my family (specifically my mother) that I've been diagnosed with Major Depression and Schizophrenia?

The reason I ask is that I've tried to tell her before and she denied that I was depressed. Now that I'm getting help I feel guilty that I haven't told her something so important.

If I should...how?

Thanks

I've been with my boyfriend for 4 years, throughout which I knew what I was getting myself into when he told me he was bipolar, now I just don't know anymore. He has always tried to self medicate himself, and has tried numerous times to stop. He wants help but won't do anything about it. He is a very intelligent guy and has lots of potential. He is VERY attached to me, and i love him, but i don't know if it's enough. Lately he's become extremely verbally abusive and controlling and he blames me for everything, becuase he is also taking oxycotins and not his meds. I don't know what to do, I'm loosing my mind and i have no one to talk too.

Since I have been having trouble locating a job with benefits, I have not been able to continue my medication. It is the anti-depression medication manufactured by Smith GlaxoKline. My life is actually miserable without it. Is there any way to acquire paxil at a reduced rate or even for free in the state of Florida where I live? I would do almost anything to have my life back.

She has been in and out of hospitals for depression all her life, she takes 2 medications for her disorder and we found out she isn't taking her medicine and some strange stuff is going on with her. I tried giving her the medication and she said I was giving her the wrong stuff, she hears voices, she won't get out of her room and she is getting violent when she is out. I have never said a rude word to the woman but when I found out she wasn't taking the medicine I told her I was going to start giving it to her, that went fine and she ended up getting a hold of it and wouldn't let me or my husband give it to her, she says she isn't incompetent and so on. Now she hates me, she says it's her kitchen, she says she is married and waiting on the marriage license in the mail, it's so many things to say. it kills me b/c I care so much about her, when she was weak I fed her breakfast, lunch, dinner, I cleaned her rooms, I have never been hateful to her. Is there a support group for me advice

Okay. I am going to be candid with everyone. I am in my first year of college. I attend a county college. In high school they told me I had a slight learning disability. Whenever I take "state" tests, I always fail. I always get in the 60's and in college you have to get a 70 or better. I am not supid, I can't seem to open my brain up enough to really learn the material....I was thinking maybe I take Adderall. I heard it's for people who have ADD or ADHD. I need to know, is there any medication I can take to make my brain take in more information? I need honest answers. Thank you

This girl I know suffers from depression. Don't know why, she is beautiful and fun, smart and charming. We have been dating for a while, but it seems like the more apparent feelings become for each other, the further she tries to distance herself from me and us. I assume something bad happened to her in the past but she won't elaborate. It's like she's got a wall between us (a fairly common way to refer to emotional suppression, I assume). My question is, is it really even possible for her to love someone else if she doesn't really love/accept herself? Also, for anyone with experience in similar situations, it sometimes seems to me like she wants someone to keep pushing at her wall, to try and get past it. Could my instincts be correct? If she wants that, is it an attempt to break it down or maintain the need for it?

I get anxiety attacks, and would like to use something other then tranquilizers to calm me down. Is there anything that can give you the same effect as a tranquilizer? You know, that calming of the mind/body....

What is wrong with this relative of mine? When she tells a story, she takes forever to get to the point. She has to be OVERLY detailed, down to the day of when it happened. If she buys a book at the store, it's not just a book about dogs. It's a brown book, 30 pages, about 30 different dog breeds, that must be read to her son atleast a few times..... She over reacts to situations. If you say anything to her about ANYTHING, she will stretch it out and blow it out of proportion when she tells the next relative. If I tell her I went to the store on friday, suddenly, the whole family knows I went to the store on friday.

So this person is overly detailed and over reacts to every scenario and situation and also has a big mouth.... obsessive compulsive maybe?
