My daughter is a 12 yr. old w/ Down's Syndrome....She has never had a problem before securing mental health and speech services! We've recently moved to Maine and the speech therapist in her new school said that we shouldn't speak Spanish to her (our natural language) anymore! This was never a problem before and I felt that was uncalled for or even racist! What do you think?

I hear this "music" 24 hours a day over and over again. It stems from noises made by equipment, i.e.normal sounds coming from the refrigerator, car engine, air conditioner, train whistles, anything that makes noise turns into musical notes. I suffer from long term situational depression and have been on paxil for years but this noise is driving me crazy. My hearing is excellent according to an ear specialist and I have had my teeth checked for cavities. It is not tinnitus, ringing of the ears, it is musical notes that my brain makes up words that have no meaning. I try to take the notes and make up songs to at least make sense of what I am hearing and may sing that song in my head for hours.
Has anyone had a similar experience or knows what to do.
My regular Dr. is sending me to a Psychiatrist and I am afraid of what the diagnosis will be. This has been going on for five months. Please help if you can.

I've been wanting to write a personal history of myself. I'm thinking of just starting from birth and working my way up to present day. Here's my problem though, I have a terrible memory. When I was a kid I'd forget school friend's names over summer break. Back in High School a teacher of mine mentioned a book that helped him remember childhood events and things earlier than he thought possible. This is what I'm really looking for.

Do any of you know of books that can help me to do this? Any special techniques, websites, or other resources that you might suggest? Keep in mind that I'm not really looking for remembering current things like names. Nor am I looking for stuff about remembering past lives (been getting that alot on searches). Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

When I was in university I had more clear and beautiful vision of life,happiness and love.
But getting older I began to lose it.
The main reason was things that happened to me .I wanted to become a musician but I became another thing . I found a real love but dumped it .I knew and felt something was wrong.

Still I have the sense of the vision that I had younger days.But again and again I forgot the vision and make terrible mistakes.

Life is short but full of beautiful and wonderful things.I do not want to live against my vision of life I dont want to waste my life time either and I want to find my real love.

But I feel I can make same mistakes again like I dld.
I think I am in lack of selfconfidence or selfrespect or something .Any help or advice?

The last few months I have been prone to rapidly changing mood swings, I can go from irritable to giggly to depressed sometimes several times in a day, I think I'm getting worse. I often get really high & giggly at night. I had a terrible argument with my husband 2 days ago and felt so bad I seemed to get locked out of myself, I felt like I could only think on a very shallow level, and for about 24 hours, I could barely move around and couldn't speak at all, it was terrifying because I wanted comfort but I couldn't ask for it. I had a really bad panic attack as well, I even tried cutting myself with a razor to try and get back into myself, I have never felt this bad before, I am ok now, but it really scared me to feel like that. I know I should talk to someone about this but I am not mentally ill and last time they just wanted to give me anti depressants, but I don't need them because I am not depressed all the time. What is going on?

These days I have been filled with aniexty, stress, and negative thoughts. After I reinjuried my foot, it hasn't been getting much better. It seems to stay in this one shape all day long. I just recently read an article that said thinking postive keeps your heart in good shape, will this do the same to speed up the recovery of my foot? I'm finally going to a ortopisetist today and I'll ask the same question as well.

Thanks

I am perceived as a highly confident person, people respect me and I can safely say that I am well-liked. People think that I am an extrovert... but deep inside I feel like I am an introvert coz I am a deep thinker and sometimes I just intentionally act out to look like an extrovert.. or could I be both?

I take a multivitamin daily, two grams of Omega-3 fish oil, and Brahmi.... I'm not interested in taking an antidepressant (like Prozac, Zoloft, etc.) or doing therapy.

My fiance either doesn't believe in pets for therapy, or is reluctant to get a cat because of the cost to maintain a healthy pet. I'm taking the highest dosage of Paxil CR possible to relieve anxiety and minor depression. I seriously think that having a cat will help me with the depression aspect, and possibly with the anxiety. Does anyone have a pet for therapy? Please tell me your story.

Although he is in no way violent or aggressive when he's drunk, my boyfriends alcohol dependency is putting enormous strain on our relationship. He doesn't drink as much as he used to, but will still sit at home by himself and put away a litre of spirits (on the majority of nights in a week) a) just for the sake of getting drunk b) if he's denied alcohol he can't switch off, relax or sleep. It is also seriously affecting our sex life, as I greatly dislike only having sex when he's drunk, but he doubts his performance when he's sober (despite being told otherwise!)
He has often said he knows he drinks too much and would like to cut down, but seems unwilling to actually do anything about it. It is starting to affect his health. I would like to know what steps I can take to help us both understand and tackle the problem together without making him feel undermined.
I love him very much and aside from his drinking he is a wonderfully caring, loving and intelligent person.
HELP!!!

I felt very suicidal today because I m in this huge hole that I feel like I couldn't get out of. So I called the Kids Help Phone in Canada, I told them my problem and all they said is: well nothing I can help you with, go to sleep and good night! And then they hung up on me... I feel kind of awkward now.. like.. did they give up on me too? Do i really should just go die?

I had a problem with school because I couldn't concentrate and I was missing school because I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't wake up in the morning. I didn't go to all the classes all right.. and I didn't know how to go back to class. My classmates are laughing at me and my friend heard that one of my teachers was joking around with some of the kids that i was giving my bf a bl*wjob when i was not at school. And i feel horrible. I feel like i couldn't go back to school right now. That's why i called the line.. and i felt like the only way to avoid everything is to die, and yes i guess i was denying death cause i want to look for another way out. But if even the help line hung up on me.. do I really deserve to die?
