Mental Health - November 2006

I see the slogan "America, love it or leave it" used as a argument against people who want to change the US, or disagree with actions taken by the country, the Bush administration, or other leaders. To me, what makes the US so great is it's ability to change, grow, and adapt with what the people want.

For example, we used to have segregation. But then the country realized (for the most part) that we didn't want a segregated country. So the democratic process allowed the laws to change for the better.

In my opinion the "love it or leave it" slogan means you are against anyone who wants change for the country. But history has shown that for the most part, change and adaptation is healthy, natural, and good for a democratic country. So really, isn't the ones who want change or progress the ones who "love" the country. Even if you don't agree with the changes, you have to at least support their right to want change and listen to everyone's ideas.

I have been dating a girl for about 5 months. Everything was going great until about a month or so ago, she started having problems. She has been having panic attacks, which she has been prescribed both zanax and Prozac. Since then our relationship has had its problems. She gets worked up on very small things. We have been fighting a lot which we never fought before. It almost seems like she is two different people. Also her sex drive is next to nothing. We had a great sex life previously. She told me when she was younger that she had these same problems. I don’t know if I should try to stick with her or break it off. I really like the girl I was dating before (really really liked) but this new person I don’t really care for. Any information or personal experiences would be help full thanks.

Was wondering if any one had any suggestions on vitamins/supliments/any thing that may help me balance my mood swings. And get me out with out it being an issue

I am an almost 42 year female.
I was ADD as a child & have some ADD characteristics still, but my concentration has gotten worse in the past year or so.

After the death of my 4 year old nephew May of 2005, I went on meds which helped with the depression but as the depression subsided the lack of concentration continued. I had gone off the antidepressants but went back on thinking depression was causing my lack of concentration, but they have not helped, so I am phasing off the meds again.

Could it be hormone changes?
My aunt was bi-polir but I am not experiencing mood swings.
Any ideas? Any sites you can recommend?

Thanks

My doctor has prescribed me cipramil to help with anxiety. I have read on the net about the possible side affects and withdrawal symptom and find them very off-putting. I was not offered any counseling, only the drugs. I have not started to take the drugs. Is it normal practice to be prescribed drugs before counseling?

I'm 31 years old and pregnant so i can't take medication now but after I have this baby I want to start it back, I was diagnosed with it at 24 years old, I had the MRI and several test, I was put on Adderall which almost ruined my life, The med worked but the side affects including lavish spending, almost cost me my marriage, I was addicted to it and the way it made me feel. I realized on the meds that I could live a more effective life, I was better at everything, I just couldn't take the medication. I would like to know what if any new medication is out there with out the crazy side effects, Medication that really works. I will go back to see my doctor for this after my baby arrives in March, I'd like to have options to talk with him about :Thanks

All my stuff seems to be breaking lately. First it was my laptop, then a fender bender on my new car, then my ipod breaks, and now most recently my cell phone. Oh, and also my favorite shirt got ripped. It seems like my world is falling apart. What factors could lead to all this. Is it some type of sign?

I have a strange feeling that I may have manic depression.
At the end of the day I can get really tearful and feel terrible, then after a good nights sleep Im really normal and tend to think " what was that about"
Then some mornings I feel negative- and try not to let it affect me but something can happen and I end up in tears and feel absolutley like there is no hope then 10 minutes later I am as right as rain.
I did suffer depression last year but it was reactive due to previous illness.
I have recently split up with my fiance and yesterday at work was the worst day ever!!!!
at the moment I have this weird thing that I have to tell everyone how Im feeling ( ummm?)
Am i normal- I know I probably need to see a doctor.

I have made a huge mistake. I completed my teacher training last year and have just got a teaching job. It's only part time, but it is in a really rough school, where behaviour problems are terrible. It's a temporary maternity cover until March, and I have only been there two weeks.

However, I can't stand it. I can't control any of my classes. The lessons are chaotic because I can't control them enough to teach them what I need to. I feel stressed, and a failure. I come home and cry, or drink, or both. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I have been thinking of the most awful ways of making it go away.

I have 2 kids, one of which is autistic, and I have health problems anyway. I had a feeling that teaching might be too much for me, but I went ahead and got the job. Now I am regretting it big time. I can't just leave. I signed a contract. On my days off I can't relax because I am panicking about the days I will be at the school. I can't concentrate on anything any more.

Think about it... my migraines are caused by stress and lack of sleep, so maybe if I got sh.i.t off my chest, I'll feel better and have less attacks.

Anyone else ever try this?

and im wondering what to think or how to feel? my psych feels that i dont have any mental health probs but i have personality disorder probs instead, meaning he said treatment will come in the form of therapy not any medication. he told me he doesnt think any medication will help me and they are addictive....i explained to him about my long term anger, extreme panic and anxiety when i go out, my inner anger.. my paranoid feelings about people.. my racing thoughts, and he feels that this is all psychological not anything to do with my brain, my fears were if this were the case that if i didnt have a mental illness, i wouldnt be elligable for treatment or therapy, but he told me that this is not the case..all the symptoms ive described ive had for 15 years and ive had alot of trauma to but he says this is because of a personality disorder. to me personality disorder is seen as negative and has alot of contraversy it cant be treated, is todays events negative or positive for me?

There are times when I react strongly to little things in life. For instance, if a friend doesn't e-mail me or call me back, I think, "What is their problem?, This is really disappointing.' When in reality the person was just busy and not trying to ignore me. And even if something small doesn't work out, I know it isn't the end of the world, although there are times when I react that way. Has anyone else dealt with this before. How do you control your reactions?
