Mental Health - December 2006

I'm fifteen and yet my memory has gotten so bad that sometimes I forget to eat. If I write things down on my hands, I forget and wash them. If I make a note of things, I never read them (because I forget where I put them). Is there anything that I can do or take that will improve my short-term memory?

My other question got removed for some reason well anyways

In about March i was depressed for exact 3 months but ever since i have been having trouble falling asleep then when i started school in september i CANT pay attention in any sort of class, more than 2 minutes into the lession i dose off into something else thinking about random things, then when people call my name out of nowhere or touch me(not sexually) i get all jumpy, when i have to say something infront of the class i get so nervous, and my stomach starts hurting. Then just in general i get nervous and stressed on alot of things

is this normal? thanks!

I can have many, many great days, then I sometimes, I have some of the worst days. During the bad days suicide becomes a viable option. Why can't I have a bad day and not think of death?

I want to be with my family for christmas but instead Im in the bathroom frantically putting makeup on, washing it off because it looks so bad and putting it on again. My bf is pissed because Im not with the family, I wish I could be so bad. I can't go to far from the bathroom because I may have to wash my hair again because its gonna get greasy any minute now even though I washed it about and hour ago. My bf dragged me out but I can't talk to anyone because they have to look at my face and it is so ugly I just cant bare to let anyone see it. I had to spend time in the bathroom straightening my hair while evryone was opening presents. I tried so hard to go down there but as soon as I did I had to go and finish, I wanted to cry. No one understands and they tell me its my own fault but I dont want to live this way. Its not my fault, everyday Im like this I had to quit school and I struggle at work everyday and always get in trouble because I have to go to the bathroom and fix it

I can't focus on anything even though I want to. It's like someone gave my neurons Mountain Dew and crack and stuck them in my brain. I can't slow down. I can't think. It really, really sucks because I can't focus on anything. Not algebra, not Splinter Cell, and I like them both equally.

I talk too fast, walk at an insane rate and can't focus on anything. I have had this problem all my life, it has worsened gradually over the past few years and made a big jump in the last few months. I'm also getting really depressed because I can't get anything done, and it's not fun to be 14 years old and struggling through the end of eighth grade math.

I fit pretty much every standard for ADHD, and since I have had this problem all my life I have slowly wrestled myself in to some kind of control. I don't really lose things because I have severely limited my possessions and I can now sit reasonably still and shut up but not think.

Could it be ADHD? What are other explanations?

some times it happens suddenly but other times it is triggerd, and it can be triggerd by any thing literaly.

i should talk to my psychatriest about this

Is it wierd to think of death all the time? I see pill in my medicine cabinet & I wonder that if I took all of the different kinds, if it would take me away. I think about it everytime I get in the car. Everytime I go to sleep, go to work, etc... I don't really want to die, I don't think. I just think about it a lot... Is this some sort of obsessive compulsive behavior? How do you teach your mind to think of other things?

Over the years I've battled with a great deal of emotional pain because of my past. As you can imagine, there are periods when I was not fully there "emotionally" as a parent due to depression, anxiety, self-medicating(food for me), and anger.

I've recently accepted God into my life, and I'm dedicated to changing and improving for God, myself, and my child who is now a young adult. I've seen more improvement the last two months, than I have in years. I don't think children put much faith in you when you say you're getting better, after they've heard it awhile without seeing results.

If you were a parent in this situation, did you offer the same promises again, or did you just do all that you promised without discussing it, and show your child unconditional love? If you're a young adult in your 20's, what would you prefer to see or hear from you parent? I've thought of just sitting down explaining things, expressing my love, and then let actions speak for me. Thanks

This holiday is terrible for me - my boyfriend whom I love dearly is spending Christmas away from me again to be with his ex-family. We have yet to spend our first Christmas together. I am thirty years old and have never been married... probably never will. I'm pretty and intelligent - I dont' know why nobody will marry me. But that's another topic. ANYWAY...

All my life I have struggled with depression, but never gone to a doctor. I went to a doctor about a week ago and he wouldn't help me - he told me I needed to seek counseling and that nobody would see me becasue it was Christmas. But,.... I REALLY NEEDED HIS HELP.

Now I am alone and so depressed. I stare at things, I sleep a lot... it was a struggle to do something about holiday cooking, as my mother is a cancer survivor and hastn' her strenght back. How can I make it just a few more days before seeing a profesional? I hate to become an alcoholic but this does numb the pain for me.

Lately, I've been feeling kind of strange.
It's a very hard to describe feeling, where I don't know if the world around me really exists, if the people I know are really there, and are we all really here, on Earth, and how do we understand each other through words.. Sometimes, I think of them as Matrix-like feelings...
Am I the only one? What do they mean? Can someone help me?

I've got the winter blues/blahs. I've had depression real bad before, but I'm pretty good at handling it myself. What should I do to prevent myself from "slipping under" again?
