Mental Health - December 2006

I know my depression is making me think this way but my life is so meaningless and empty. Anxiety has prevented me to move furthur in life and now i feel trapped. The man i love has been cold and distant with me and i'm starting to believe he just used me for sex and that has made me feel worse. My mom has mental issues and has attempted suicide many times,my dad died last year and i blame myself that i didnt go and visit him instead of being selfish thinking of myself. I feel like i'm living each day for no apparant reason. The only thing that makes me happy is when i think about not being here any longer. What should i do?i dont want to die but i dont want to live either.

Okay, so I'm 14 and I think I'm bipolar and I'd like to see a psychiatrist. However, I'm not sure how to tell my parents. I'm afraid to. I used to be a cutter and they suggested I get help, but I refused (this was about ten months ago). How can I tell them?

If so, do you feel that it has worked for you? Has it elevated your moods any? I live in a part of the country where the days are very short now, and most of the days are very cloudy. I feel sort of slowed down and moody. I would like to try light therapy, but I don't want to waste my money if it doesn't really work. The light boxes are not that cheap.

I always feel tired and depressed. There was a time once that I was on diet pills (ephedrine, which work like speed) and when I was on them I felt SO much happier. Why is that?

I'm a 16 year old girl. People talk to me all the time in school but never invite me anywhere out of school. I think it's because I'm a little stiff and shy, but I don't know how to losen up. I am pretty self conscious but when i'm around ppl for a long time i get crazy. im cool. What do you think I can do

After all this time, the one thing that really keeps nagging me is WHY did he break up with me and then spend MONTHS trying to get back in touch with me and convince me to see him -- only to decide he was "not into it"? Why didn't he leave me alone after he broke my heart the first time? Is he just malicious or is he dumb?

Okay, my mom has been acting very strangely for the past 10 years of my life. She is in her late forties and is very irrational and mean-tempered. One minute she'll be all happy and smiley, and within the hour she'll have a major mood swing and start yelling and screaming and bitching about random things. She's never gotten physically abusive (although she has thrown stuff and my sisters and brothers). She is very perky and nice around other people but she is hell to her family. Do any of you psychologist majors/medical professionals know what the hell is wrong with her? It is getting out of hand and my brother and I are losing our sanity.

Why am I here?
To make something of myself.
I know how, but I'm 16 and I just can't take all this miserable waiting anymore! I cut before and I did some now and I am going to a New Year's party...where I want to just drink myself to death...help I want to die! No one likes me, my own family always points out my faults (cept my dad), the boy I care so deeply for doesn't give a $hit, my friendsa are fakes and posers....why should I keep going?

I don't know who to contact. ?? Here's a list of concens:
always sick-tells family she has every health problem know-when family asks about tests results, etc...no answer or info given--I am thinking Munchasuen Syndrome?? Drinks daily and takes a great deal of medication while drinking-lately she has done so around us and she acted very out of it-caused harm to our child at one point-lies about everything-depressed-threatened to kill her husband-gambling problem-kicked off the "boat" for being drunk-excuses for everything-states she was raped by my father when younger and that is why she has problems-been married 3x and all bad marriages-she cheated--but will tell her parents crazy lies about the other-manipulates me-i told her I wasn't going to come around until she seeked helped-4 weeks later she told me she was seeing a therapist--found out she hasn't been-her parents are very elderly and they think the world of her (lost their son to suicude)--they believe every word that comes out of her mouth-abusive to me and my brother-physically and emotionally-at this point I don't believe a word out of her and I don't want to be around her-no one in my family will take the time to help, I feel helpless.

Okay, I have been taking Klonopin for short term anxiety for ten days. Two days were .25 in morning and .25 at night, the remaining 8 days were just .25 a night. I no longer want to take the klonopin and my short term crisis is over. last night I took .125 (half of .25 tablet) and had insomnia all night. I called doctor today and he said it would be fine to just stop it and not take anymore. All day I have had a headache I can not get rid of and some chest pain. Is that from the Klonopin withdrawal? I am really nervous. Should I just stop abruptly like my doctor said or did I need to taper? This chest pain and headache is scaring me. Please help....
