Mental Health - November 2006

beats so hard, and I shake so bad, I feel like I'm going to drop dead. Forget having a conversation with these people, because I can't even have a clear thought..what is this and what can I do. It's only a handful of situations, but in some of them I HAVE to be able to particapate. Sometimes I'm trying so hard to hide the shaking, and my heart takes over, that I'm just walking out of situations saying goodbye, and I know people are thinking I'm weird. What is this and can it be treated w/o med's?

I have been on lexapro for a year now. I hate having to depend on medication day in and day out and I know I can NOT stop abrupltly with the medicine, but I talked to my doctor because my anxiety is so much better and I wanted to be weined off the medication. He told me to take a half of a pill for 2 weeks and then half a pill every other day for 2 weeks. (I was on 20 mg). Now I feel like I'm dying. I have been taking the half of a pill at night before bed, but halfway through my next day (around 3ish daily) I start to get the swimming head and then headaches that turn into unbearable pain by night time to the point where I can't see straight, walk straight, and just want to cry. I don't want to have to rely on this medicine forever but it looks like I'm going to have to stay on the 20 mg forever if I want to feel normal. Can anyone help me????

I have a relatively good diet and I do not physically exert myself, but recently I was in the hospital for severe depression. The nurse came in and gave me a potassium (pill form) because my potassium level was very low. I didn't feel physically bad, but was suffering from a major manic/depressive episode ( I am Bipolar). I was taking 50 Mg. Seroquel, 10 Mg. Ambien, Abilify and Tofanril. What should I also look for as a symptom of low postassium? = Thanks

I had a friend that was down on her luck so I let her move in here with her two girls.

Well she hooked up with the guy across the street and moved in with him.

Well over the weekend she went on a Crack binge. I had no idea that she had a crack problem or I never would have let het through the front door.

Well she didn't go home Friday or Saturday night. Her boyfriend called her sister and she was coming to pick up the girls on Sunday morning if she still wasn't home. Well Sunday morning around ten or so she finally came home.

Her brother was there looking for her and he is a piece of crap too. Anyways he tackled her for her keys and here come the cops in my front yard as usual. Anyways because of her stupid habit the cops searched my house because she took off. They found her in about ten minutes because a guy came around and asked if they were looking for this girl. He said that he dropped her off at CVS. I took care of the girls 2 & 3 on Saturday.

I am a person who seems to get mad very easy. I could be with my friends and they might start joking around and I might take everything too serious. I know I've spased out a couple of times at a couple of my friends and they told me to calm down. I get mad for a long time then I feel better. I know everyday I have a period where I suddenly get all hyper and happy then I get depressed for no reason. I have told some people that I don't know what the point of life is, and I was seriously, and they thought I'm suicidal. I like being lonely and I just am not an extremely sociable person. I feel like I want to be alone for the rest of my life. I like getting mad at myself and going hard on myself and I don't like helping myself. I have a good family and good friends. I feel like I just am not wanted on thios eath. I don't know if it's Bi-Polar that I have.

I have not had a good night's sleep for about a year. I can't get to sleep until about 4am and I have to get up early most days. I have been to my doctor, and I have tried many techniques to try and get to sleep. As you can see, I'm still awake now! Anyone got any ideas please? Thanks.

I think I might be bipolar or something. But if someone thinks otherwise-shout it out.
I always have highs and lows, like, I'll be all happy and laughing, and then I suddenly start crying or feeling like I have no friends, life, etc.
I esspecially get sad when I'm at home because I never really go out anywhere's besides school, and to eat with my parents. And when I see everyone else or hear about everyone else's life and friends and "what happened on friday!" I start really wanting to cry or something.
I tend to talk really fast, walk fast-that's how I think the clearest, when I'm walking.
I started feeling this way two years ago, which I also noticed that I've gained almost 30 pounds since then.
And for about 4 years years (this ended the year before I started gaining weight), I never was myself because I was obsessed with the thought that I was always being watched that if I did something out-of-my-school-charecter-ish, that'd someone would see and hold it against me. HELP!

Having a very stressul time as I am leaving the country permanently: getting rid of furniture, finding a tenant, stressed about shipping goods, long flights etc etc.
I use ambien for insomnia ten minute before bedtime and it puts me to sleep quickly.
Can I break one in half and use it for current daily stress/acute anxiety until I am settled in my new country. No time to see a doc cause I leave Sunday morning.
Should be settled by next Tuesday.
