Mental Health - December 2006

well...i have it. i was just diagnosed. this is aweful. i will not go to see a shrink, i refuse, although i am willing to do anything else whatsoever to get over this aweful, horrible, hopeless, sad, lonely feeling.

do any of you know a cure that doesn't involve medication? i'm serious here...medicine is like an american cure and i'm sick of hearing "go dose yourself." gotta cure?

I think that I might have Asperger's syndrome which is a mild form of autism. The symptoms seem to describe my personality pretty accurately. I have no social life and I'm interested in things that other people would find strange or trivial. I can function in society because I have a job but the lack of social interaction is killing me. I am so damn lonely, but I feel like I just can't break out. I feel like I'm in a prison. Just the thought that I may have a neurological disorder that can't be cured plunges me into despair. I feel like I've been screwed out of life and that there is no hope for me in this life to be happy. Should I just cut my losses and kill myself?

Are there any natural ways to help with depression? I have no energy, and am very moody. I am not overweight by any means (5 foot one and 96 pounds) and I am only 29. I want to feel like a normal 29 year old!!!

I want to end Schizophrenia. I feel alone and lonely, and I have to hallucinate all the time. I want to end the auditory hallucinations. I have no friends, I have nothing. I worry about death.

How do you get rid of Auditory Hallucinations?

It seems that whenever I hear about people with tourettes they use swear words or abusive terms as the 'random noises'.
Is this not just a freudian slip ?

Me, I've been on nearly every psych drug I've heard of, and the ones I haven't they were trying to put me on when I took myself off all that mood altering stuff, so I at least have an educated opinion here.

I think that the meds *anti-depressants, anti-psychotis, general mood stbalizers* are good, for a while. Before long, you start to think back to before the drugs, though, and you'll start to remember the belly laughs and feeling so good in between the times you felt so bad. I don't know about others, but meds killed my emotions. I'm borderline, so I was very used to highs and lows, but somewher in the 2/3 years I was medicated, I realised that I wasn't getting either. I didn't cry, but my laughs were allways fake. The drugs helped me learn how to deal, though. I say good for a while but not a lifetime.

What's your take on psych drugs?

ever since i was a kid ive always been daydreaming..now at 18, its been a problem. im learning how to drive but my daydreaming has made me a slow learner..i dont see other signs...i lose focus and having a part time job scares me off coz i may not focus at all...what can i do to be more aware, sharp and observant??

this is frustrating for someone who gets good grades at school, reads books but so bad at the real world...

in a different question i said i felt it was to hard to be happy and i was lonely, and i felt like giving up. i honestly described my situation and most people told me i was depressed. i would believe them except i'm only 13. is it possible to really be depressed at my age? read my other question. everything i said was true and not over exaggerated. i'm not doing this for attention either. What do you think?

I have wandering thoughts that infiltrate my mind and keep me wondering if someone is out there trying to hurt me.... I know I"m going crazy and the only one that 's helped me is my girlfriend and I know she's there for me, but I can't get in touch with her... I'm in soo much pain and I don't know where to go or what to do. I don't want people I really know to think I'm crazy, because I seem like a normal guy. Please help me... I don't know how much more I can take...

Many nights when I'm trying to sleep (including last night), I can't because I'm afraid my heart still stop beating for some reason. I'm a healthy person so I don't know why I think this, but It keeps me awake awhile because I worry that if I keep thinking it will stop than it will. I don't know if this is really something wrong w/ me or not.
