Mental Health - December 2006

How do you let go of your past when it keeps haunting you when you least expect it? I want to forgive and forget... Perhaps just forget most of all.

I grew up in an environment of emotional and physical neglect. Put some sexual abuse into the mix, and you get the picture.

It affects every level of every single relationship that I have. I don't really trust anyone, least myself.

How do I let go of this and just forget. Tried to make my way down to see a professional, but got scared and turned around halfway. Tried to have a look at the web, and it just tells you to let go and forgive. What it doesn't mention is HOW???

Any ideas?

I used to take about 30gm a day but noticed i was becoming restless and not interested in my usual hobbies: reading and writing. I slowly lowered my dose and now i take 100gm a week, but still haven't recovered the "edginess", the inspiration to write.

Please tell me in details as much as you can, if you have children with him/her..what it's like?...I have been reading a lots of articles about NPD and other Personalities Disorder, but I think the real story will help me understand it better.*I am also pregnant 18 weeks with NPD(I assumed he is)..He still doesn't care and his words and behavior is absolutely abnormal for a man who is becoming a father. You could give me any advices what should I do.
Thank you so much for your serious answer. :-)

My ex boyfriend of 2 years, cheated on me several times, one of which lasted 6 months, I had my suspicions and confronted him and I believed him, but then i found out the truth. I also found that he was largely into porn, and that makes me sick. Im now convinced all men are the same and that my new fiance will do the same to me, I cry every night wondering IF? He tells me he never would but i dont know what to think, and hes always on the internet which makes me very paranoid, cos I knew he was into porn before me, im losing my mind, it makes me sick that he could be watching it whilst im at work, or even asleep. What can i do?

Everytime I overtake a car,
its a victory for me the overtaker,
over the car passed.
It's like psychosocial warfare
But if the (German) road is empty
and I'm doing over 120 mph I fall into a focus
which is like a medative state.
I fall into the silence which is almost bliss.
This is so addictive how do I get rid of it?

I used to have trouble falling and staying asleep. Recently I had surgery to correct a deviated septum so that cured the sleep apnea. I no longer have trouble staying asleep, but I still have trouble falling asleep. What can I do about this? Should I see a doctor, a psychiatrist, what?

Do people who suffered childhood sexual abuse have problems with intimate personal relationships as adults? Are they too quick to become intimate, or do they shy away from intimacy alltogether? Do male abuse survivors react differently than female abuse survivors?

I am unclear if it goes from the date you were first diagnosed or the date you actually applied when determining benefits.

Follow up: w/ this condition I have been reading about (that I think she might have; she has admitted to me something isn't right in the way she "thinks" but she doesn't know what or why), one of the paramount concerns a person will have is an enhanced fear of abandonment. Another is depression. If I cut her loose completely, she will only tell herself she was right for fearing that I would run from her and merely abase herself more, not only for me leaving her, but also for chasing me away. Now, I know it doesn't have to be my problem, but I REALLY care about this girl (just hate these actions, but I realize she can't necessarily control them and probably needs help in doing so). So w/ this in mind, how would I gently suggest that I have found some material that sounded relevent, I hope she will read it, and if she chooses to seek help, that I will be there to support her?

I have always known there was something odd about the way our relationship was unfolding, like some fundamental connection was lacking. At first, I discounted it as incompatability, just let us move on our seperate ways. But then there were still really good times when we went out too where we were really "together". We talked and she told me she has always been like this, scared to commit but scared to be alone. I am in a catch-22 and didn't know why. I think I have an answer now, but it is hard for me to consider let alone address w/ her, but after A LOT of reading, I am pretty sure she exhibits signs of a specific mental disorder. I am supposed to see her today (which, as always, is a tentative proposition) but assuming I do, I want to discuss what I have been reading b/c I think she is lost as to why she feels the way she does. I know I risk chasing her away if I suggest this, but I would rather that and she might see some truth in what I say and DO something about it.

I used to go out with this guy but we broke up on good terms and we are still good friends. Recently however, I think that he may be suffering with depression, and has been for a very long time, much longer than I have known him for. He is very "down and out", his moods can be very varied, he has lost a lot of self-confidence and I know he feels very lost in his life (ie which direction he is going in). He is 28, lives with his Mum (who does everything for him) and doesn't like his job. He cant afford to buy a house and wont rent. He feels in a hole and can't get out.

I suggested to him the other day whether he thought he had depression too and he just shrugged his shoulders and started welling up which is so unlike him. I just think that he would benefit from going to see a professional about it all but he is just not the type to even consider it.

Can I ask for peoples opinions on this as to how to help him. I dont know what to do.

Thanks

Jo

I sometimes feel down and I don't talk,or im happy,it's really strange,I feel like people are looking at me or talking about me,I have gotten into fights becuase I said what are you looking at,or I have outburst why are you talking about me.But now I realize how petty that it so I control it now.But at times I feel like I need some meds,or some weed,weed made me feel better but it's iligal,i think it's a sin too.But when I was younger my family would talk about my mom or me and they thought the phone would be hung up and this would happen alot,so im not sure if im tramatized becuase of that or is it something else.I have looked at the bi-polar symptoms and I'm not sure if I fit that description.please let me know.
