Mental Health - December 2006

last night i went in to check on my mom while she was sleeping because she was sick. then a few minutes later i heard her moaning and whimpering like she was crying. i thought she was awake so when i looked at her she was still sleeping. but it sounded exactly like she was crying. she is a little depressed by the way.

I cannot speak to my Social Worker without ending up shouting at her cos she is so useless. The trouble is I get myself so worked up and upset that I end up self harming which is what happened today when she said she had no carers for me. Now she just threatens to hang up on me and I usually hang up first so I get nowhere, how can I control my temper and save myself from self harming?

I've been feeling like this for months, and I went through a stage of it once before and turned to alchol for sustinance, luckly I had a great friend who helped me pull through. This time I just don't think it'll work. I feel awful and it's effecting my studies :( But I don't know how to tell a GP how I feel, and I feel kinda self concious doing so. Any ideas on how I do it? I know I need help, I'm just scared.

I am 25 and was a mechanic for years and sold cars for a while too, but my license is suspended for 2 years for too many points and I can no longer do either. I was an A tech and made over 100K a year and the same with selling cars. I have now been unemployed for 2 months and need a job, but I do not want to take a big hit in income. I do not have a college degree, but completed some credits. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I live in central NJ. I had some money saved, but started a business a few years back and it did not work out as planned and there is no way to pick it back up. I will not be anywhere near breaking even when I close it. Right now I am running out of money and need to find a job. Like I said I do not want to to take a big hit, and really cannot afford too, but it will be difficult to take a big pay cut. The other huge problem is that I am bipolar and do not have the best control of my temper and I am on meds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

do you think it is better to talk to a psycholigist if he tries to be your friend or if he is clinically distant from you?

Ever since school started I have been a lot more concerned with the way I look than I normally do.
Girls at school are always talking about me and saying how "ugly" I am. And to tell you the truth...I'm starting to believe them
I ask myself daily. Am I really ugly? Is that why I'm single?
And it seems that the harder I try the uglier I appear to my self.

I don't want to feel this way.

How can I be more confident about the way I look?

general definitions and not details. If you know of a web site where I can get details I would be glad to look it up.

Well, here is the problem. My daughter has been diagnosed with PDD. Pervasive Developmental Delay. She is NOT MR. Although some of the test scores do reflect that.
Apparently to be DX with Autism or Aspergers she has to have ALL the crietia for either of those disorders according to the psycologist. Her clinical therpasit said she didn't HAVE to meet them ALL.

So here's the question. Which one is right? If you were to come down with such and such a disease - you don't have to meet ALL the crieteria of that disease - so is it different in mental health? I keep getting different answers. Does anyone know? Does anyone have experience with this?

I am wheelchair bound with no use of the left hand side of my body. I usually have a carer in the morning to help me dress and shower and get my food and a carer at night to help me get ready for bed. Social Services made me change to a cheaper company who could only provide a male carer. I tried for 3 days but couldn't stand having him help me, but the company have noone else to send and my Social Worker can't find anyone else. This has left me with no carers for the foreseeable future, what do I do? They were the only people I saw in a day so now my mental health is suffering as well. Has anyone got any suggestions?

i make any inquiry or two about borderline personality disorder and hope to get intelligent responses from experienced, compassionate people. instead i get snippy remarks from people who have no experience, education or real interrest. just another chat room. you probably should be on the dating chat room circuit.

I was just curious about masturbationg. I am a young male that is 21 years old and I know a lot of pretty girls at my college but for some reason I am paranoid about masturbating to them because I see them so often and am afraid I will feel weird around them. Some of them have boyfriends and some are just friends. No real prospects right now with these girls. So instead I tend to masturbate a lot to women like Britney Spears, Katie Holmes, Camilla Belle, Rachel McAdams, Jessica Biel etc... Girls I know I have no shot with and dont know me. Is this better to do or does it really matter? Will I feel any different either way?

I guess part of the sexual fantasies is treating the women as a sex object. Maybe I dont want to offend. I usually picture these women wearing a short skirt with no panties on bending over. I have a hard time doing that thinking about a friend. I do have a friend Jackie who I am tempted to masturbate about but still am wondering if I will regret it. Will I?

I'm considering cutting caffeine out of my diet in order to improve my morning anxiety, and possibly improve my mood. I'm at least mildly addicted to caffeine, is this worth it?

( we have a beautiful 3 year old daughter). The only thing that is getting me going is my studies but I did not do to well in one class this semester and I may get kick out of the program. My world has been turned upside down. I have very few friends, and I cant talk to them because seems like their enjoy my failures. I am having constant thoughts of suicides for a while, then I try to put things in perspective... I still have my health, a decent job, good looks... still I think life is not worth it anymore. I am not sure if I need just someone to talk to. I am afraid if go out and drink I may just end all. Please advise

I left school 8 years ago but i am still haunted by the bullying i got while there. I have been to counselling, which helped a bit. but every time i think about these people i always think about injuring them badly.

I have a new boyfrend who has said that he will hit them if i point them out to him, but i dont want to get him involved.

All I want off these bullies (who i only see now and again) is an apology or to at least acknowledge that what they did was wrong, but every time i have questioned them theyalways deny doing anything to me. I know i should be over this by now, but i cant. HELP! (Im 25)

I am 20 years old am 5ft 5 and weigh about 150ilbs (10st 8).

I am starting to get really obsessed with my weight even though people tell me im not fat i think i am. I keep looking at pro ana websites (i know thats sad) at all the thin models and wish i looked like them. I havent stopped eating but am ating alot in one time and then feeling really guilty when i do. I usually eat right and i excercise about 3 times a week. I think i am on a dangerous path and i am seriously considering stopping eating altogether as it is the only way i can be skinny like the models.

Serious answers only please i dont want any saying i am stupid as i really feel down about my weight.

right now i can't stand life. i don't know what to do. i lost all my friends and my one friend won't talk to me anymore. i was on antidepressants for a while when i was 11, and i've been on it for 4 years and i just got off it a few months ago. i feel like it really drained me down and put me where i am now. i think it's because i didn't need the medicine so it did the opposite to me. i'm a very sensitive person so i can take the smallest things seriously. it changed me so much and it made me the laugh of my school. i did bad things because i didn't care and that's how i lost respect from everyone. i was bullied and teased for so many years since i was 11 that it really made me have low self esteem, and it's not fair because that's not me at all. i can't even go to my mall for the stuff i did. i couldn't even look at someone in the face or else i'd shake. people thought something was wrong with me. what should i do? i'm on the edge of really losing it. i don't wanna kill myself. help?
