Mental Health - December 2006

I think she is suffereing from acute paranoiia, bi polar disease, and possibly scitsophrenia. My boyfriend and his sisters know she needs help. She was in a mental hospital before, but they let her out. Is there an anonymous way to get her commited, she wont seek help on her own.

She fights with people on the street about stuff she makes up... its wierd. HELP!

Okay...I had a very bad day at school today. It seems that everything went wrong.
First of all, I must tell you that I never procrastinate. I always start things and study way before they are due. So today, my English teacher says I have a vocabulary test Thursday and my social studies teacher says I have a major unit test Friday. I would have studied over the weekend, but I didn't know.
Also, I have a lab for science due Wednesday which we just got today. During this lab, everything seemed to go wrong. My whole group was held up because one memember could not correctly answer a question a teacher asked her, and it took her about 20 minutes to get it right. We really rushed through it all, and I doubt it was very accurate.
I am now doing my five hours of homework. I am sooo stressed, and I haven't any idea what to do. I can hardly do my work! Please help me. What can I do (besides not doing it) to help me relieve all the stress?

My husband just recently left me-saying I am unhealthy and need to get help. I have been crying for over a month now, and cant seem to bring myself back up. A friend of mine told me to go to co-dependancy.com and see if i could answer the quiz. I went, and answered yes to 21 out of 22. I dont know where to go from here. I have looked for a support group in my are, and found none. I think I am depressed, and just want to get better. I have two children who need me, and I am falling apart. What is the next step, what have other people done to help get better? I want to feel better about myself and stop blaming myself for everything that happens.

I have a problem controling my emotions most of the time as my mood changes constantly for no reason.Many people have notices and it's becoming harder to control them.I'm not sure if I'm bipolar, but I'm pretty sure something wrong as it's been a problem since I was small.So how do I know if I actually have a problem,and if I do could this lead to something worse?

My girlfriend is about to move in with me but she has major panic/anxiety attacks almost every night. They really scare me even though I've had them myself in the past and know it's temporary and I just need to get her mind off it. Still....I am afraid I won't be able to help her and it will cause problems. Our relationship is great, and I really want to make this work.

Anyone ever been in a similar situation and has any good advice??

Thanks!

What has helped you the most with your recovery? I have been trying to get this treated for over a year but I always relapse. How did you stick with your treatment, short of being hospitalized? How do you handle relapses?

I have recently started taking it. My husband and I desperately want to have children and if I became pregnant I would stop the medication until after the baby is born.
The contraindication leaflet says it does not know whether lamictal harms the baby. I wondered if any one knew.

And telll him: Hi, I have dysthymic disorder/chronic depression.

People don't go to the doctor to tell them the diagnose (it's nuts), they tell them the symptoms, the doctor diagnoses. But I know I have that, I've done some research and my symptoms match. I always thought that this was just my personality and that while some people enjoy going out and having fun and such, I "enjoy" staying the whole week-end in my bedroom, alone, in bed doing nothing. I've been like this for years, since I was around 15 or even less than that... I'm 21 now. And I never wanna go out, it's a huge effort for me. I could stay at home lying on my bed forever, if it was for me. I don't care.
The thing is lately I've been chatting with people over the net and it just hit me. All people my age go out on week-ends and have fun at least one of the two nights, if not both. And I have no interest in getting out of my bedroom, ever.

Is it just nuts to go and tell him: "I have dysthymic disorder", cure me?
