Mental Health - December 2006

Ok, i have been cutting my self for a month. I told one of my friends who told my teacher (with permision), who told my guidence counciler, who told my mom. My mom saw my cuts and now dosnt trust me. but thats not what my quesions about. Now i have to go to a pyciatrist and i dont want to go. Its not that i dont want to go because i dont think they will help, its just that i have a hard time verbally expressing my feelings. It was sooo hard telling my friends, teachers, and mom why. Now i cant imagine what it is like telling a complete stranger. Expecially since i am 13 and i dont remeber every single detail of why i started, how i knew about cutting, and when was the exact date i started. Any tips on how i can express my feelings to a complete and total stranger whos job it is to find every little thing about your life?

Life has been so hard for me right now. I wake up every day dreading to go to school. The world is just a mean place to live, but what other choice do I have? I just lost my best friend, we're trying to work things out but i doubt we'll be friends again. I have no one I can trust at all. I worry about almost every single thing. No matter what happens, I'm sad and depressed. I put on an act for people every day. I really need someone to listen to me and understand what I'm going through. & give me good advice or at least make me happy.
I feel lonely
=[
anyone?

I am 29 m and around college I started getting really introverted when before I was cool, confident, no problems with girls. Now I avoid almost all social contact. I can been witty and fun at times, but for the most part I have totally shut down. I don't even return calls or emails anymore.

I know part of it is depression and I have been struggling with that for a few years. I am medicated. But I am wondering if anyone can relate. Or has been through to the other side. I'd like to be an interesting, dynamic person again, one day.

I dont know how or why this is happening but i hate this feeling. I have just moved to florida and hate it here. I get bad grades at school. I can't seem to concentrate at school. Nothing seems fun anymore. I feel alone and scared. I dont mean to sound stupid or emo but the feeling has gotten too bad and i dont know how or why. Am I going crazy?

I'm clinicly depressed and I think the anti-depressants are a underdose, I still feel like killing myself and continue to cut myself... so should I go back to the hospital... I hated it there but my girlfriends really worried about me and I dont want to end up killing myself and hurting her.

I have a severe flying phobia. It's not of heights or airplanes themselves, but rather of being in an enclosed space with no control over whether I get to leave. Essentially, my brain panics because I can't get off the plane (even though I don't want or need to get off).

Help, please? I've flown in the past few years under heavy sedation, but it never gets any easier. Is it impossible to panic when you're sedated? How can I assert control over the panic attack?

I've had it recommended that I let the panic attack happen, and rather than try to repress it, recognize it and allow myself to be scared. I don't know how to do this.

At this point all I've got are drugs and prayer.

I am going to be turning 19 shortly. Over the past three years or so, I've noticed a decrease in my ability to get things done. For example, I love drawing. From middle school up until 10th grade, I drew quite a bit. Never anything fantastic, but it was sort of a release for me. Since then, I have been slowly less able to even bring myself to pick up a pencil. In addition to this, I was becoming more and more irritated when customers walked through the door at the store and I had to get up and help them. One day, I quit a decent job just because of a rush of customers. I now have a desk job, but it's so wholly unsatisfying, and I'm finding again that I can't bring myself to get things done. I haven't gained any significant weight over these years, but I just always feel like a slug who is incapable of getting anything accomplished. What is going on with me? I want to be able to draw again!

I am almost 17 now.. and this happened when i was around 5 or 6, I was wondering is this considered abuse? I was 5 or 6 and the neighbor was the same age as i was, and he toldme to pull my skirt up so he can see my .. and he did the same thing so i saw his... anyways.. this happened at least 2 or 3 times that i remember.. and i never told my mom because i was too embarrased. And now I am wondering was this a form of abuse or not.

Can Xanax cause tacycardia?
I was put on Toprol for tacycardia, they also gave me xanax for panic attacks. I wasnt taking the Xnax too much at first. It took about 2 weeks on the toprol before I started seeing my HR at a good rate. Now I have been taking more Xanax and am experiencing fast heart rate again. Can the Xanax cause this?

Please don't be immature or rude. This is a serious question. What do you do when you can't deal with it? I am not a religious person, I just feel that when you are with someone that you claim to love, you don't sneek behind their back to look at other women. Anyone have any real suggestions on how to deal with this? Am I just being overbearing?

My friend is suppose to go the hospital tomorrow to begin dialises but is now refusing to go. What he said to me was
that once he was on it he would only live no more than two years. Frankly I don't believe it but I need to know for sure. I question his excuse because this is not the first time he's put off any appointments with his doctor.

My husband has been working on a project for his engineering program for a month where he had to build a machine and then it had to do certain things for points in some much amount of time. His machine was working great. When he got to class it got jammed and he only received 10 pts for his project. I am so bummed for him. How can I cheer him up with out making him think too much about this disappointment? He is normally a 4.0 student and that is partly why this is such a bummer for him. Help please!

I find myself with a long list of things to do and yet I freeze and can't seem to find the will to do anything. I'm not depressed but do have a lot of things going on in my head. Those stressors are finally more in control now than ever before. So, I have tons of paperwork to do, I've always been responsible with my work, yet I find myself procrastinating by sitting here at my computer or sleeping in. (I work from home.) I have housework to do. I take care of the bare minimums and then don't feel like doing much else. I have very little me time and I'm a very busy mom. What is wrong with me? I feel like I'm sabotaging the very things I need and want. Like my job for example, I want and need to keep my job why can't I seem to get to that darn paperwork, it's already overdue. I feel like I need a swift kick to help me get me started. Help!
