Mental Health - December 2006

I was diagnosed with MICA (Mentally ill chemically addicted) I have been off of the drugs which I bought off the street (oxycontin, percocet, vicodin etc.) and am currently taking prozac 80mg and wellbutrin 200mg. Is anyone else on these medications, and if so, did they help you or hurt you? I still get sad sometimes, but not suicidally sad like I used to.

My boyfriend is depressed and is pushing me away declaring he is no good for me and that I deserve better. What is the best way to handle this, give him space, or keep trying to be involved? What else could I do to help him get through this?

It's not that I fear dying on a plane. I do know that it's very safe to travel by plane. Safer than all other forms of travel.

However when I get on a plane, my heart races, my palms sweat and I get very scared. More so than I could possibly explain to anyone. I feel like I'm constantly falling and sometimes, if the weather is very bad, I even privately cry.

It's horrible to have this fear but I know I'm not alone. I can't take my normal sedative (used only when I fly) because I'm four months pregnant.

But I'm hoping in the next month, I will find some really excellent ways of getting through the flight and calming myself.

I'm really hoping for good answers from others with the same fear who've found ways that have really worked for them.

Thanks!

My friend is taking Risperdal, the doc didn't say what she suffers from but she has delusions and she also heard or saw things we didn't. She also thought she was spied on and being harmed.

The side effect she has is mainly dizziness. Anybody has the same / other experience with the drug or in a similar condition?

Thanks.

My 6 year old nephew that I love very much is dating barbie. When I say barbie I mean the barbie doll. He goes on dates with her and even told me that he loves her. I'm a bit worried about this even though my sister which is his mother finds it cute. He told me some time ago that he loves her and will marry her. He also doesn't like it when other boys touch her or are near her at all. What should I do as his aunt???

I mean desperately afraid of him... like in the situation where you have gone through so much abuse that you end up having all sorts of mental - emotional problems like anxiety, panic and depression. If so... how did you deal with it? Especially after the fact, when you have gotten out of the relationship and still find yourself a little scared of the opposite sex - at least the ones that you don't know very well. In other words, how is the best way to put the past behind you and not be afraid of strange men?

Doesn't really matter most fo the time, but are they selfish as well?

Or can they get paranoid when you do not even notice them?

Or misread things because they think of everybody is thinking about them (when nobody has noticed them at all), and the only point to remember is to stay clear!

I have tried taking the aid of a speech therapist, but after almost a month's treatment, eve though he said that I was getting normal, I didn't quite notice the difference, so I left him. Most of the times, I become very nervous while speaking and cannot control my breathing. Will reading a newspaper aloud help? I have tried that but stopped midway because I stammered while reading the newspaper too. Please help!!
