Mental Health - December 2006

Long question short, because of the limit. I fear death badly, I get actual physical tics from thinking of it, even passingly. I think of the nothingness, the fact that I (as a thinking entity) will not continue life in any way, shape, or form. That I will cease to be, and that nothing will come to my rescue, because no one will want to in the future, assuming they could ressurect people. I don't care about impacting lives, only my own, and the thought of all the things I'm going to miss after I die, added to everything else, almost always reduces me to a sobbing fool. So much so, that I can't even sleep at times, and more often than not have to exhaust myself by staying up much later than I should, simply to avoid the whole process of thinking of it before sleeping. I am a fierce Atheist, as well, so I have no faith in an afterlife, which only compounds my problems. Plus, since I'm so afraid of death, I don't live life "dangerously", and don't want to, and thus, don't accomplish much.

What does smoking pot do to a person when they are on 150 mg of Effexor? Does it counteract the Effexor or just make the depression worse? What about when beer is added into the mix?

I am convinced I am not alone and i just want to see if anyone on this site shares this experience too, and hopefully know from you how you cope with that :) -

have you gone through a period (or still am going through such hard time) when you're actually deeply depressed (e.g. burst into tears instantly when you get up in the morning because you'd think "why am i still alive?" etc...) and you're really stressed but you still need to pretend you're normal, because people's expectations are on you, you still need to work to support your parents/family, and you simply can't break down because you need to be the support for the one you love?

I always have the urge to wash my hands after touching a computer workstation at the library cuz I heard they were really dirty. I stopped that habit dead today by going on my comp. But I study every day there, the first thing I do is come home and wash my hands.

I have a 3 year old. He stays with his aunt (since birth) 3 days a week, and we have started, for about 3 months, taking him to a family friend, who homeschools, for preschool. He was fine the first week, but now it has gotten to the point where he won't get up, won't get dressed, he stood at the door and cried this morning, AND THEN, when I drop him off, he goes hysterical...crying like crazy and won't let go. Who do I go to for a professional opinion on this..my doctor or a psychologist, or anyone else?

What are the doubtless signs?Today, in my hubby's workshop I have found a can of cannabis tea that is legally distributed as an energizer. He is working under the huge pressure, sometimes until late and is under the permanent stress. I guess he needs some stimulants sometimes, but I am really afraid if he might taken some harder things. He also smokes too much. Yesterday, after the night and day spent in work, he had red running eyes. I do worry about him, and I am so afraid if there is something I don't know yet. How to found it out and help him? Or, am I panicking too much?
Also, it makes me feel like a fool if I don't know what is happening behind my back.
