Mental Health - December 2006

I've tried Benadryl (I have to take 3 to feel any tired-ness and don't like the feeling the next day..verrrry tired..)

I've been taking Tylenols Simply Sleep and it helps sometimes but I still feel very tired the next day. Any reccommendations? ONLY OTC Sleeping Pills please, I've tried ALL the natural remedies, doesn't help my mind races at night!)

at sites all over the web the problem of treating BPD as an axis one problem causes shrinks to lose money so they typically list you as bi_polar (catch-all garbage bag) or they list you with clinical depression and medicare and insurance companies pay up. there is a national petition. they are similar but borderline has a couple of fairly important differences that affect my situation. one is the underlying "abandonment" issue and the second is meds. anyone out there conversant on this matter?

I will forget where i put my wallet even it is only half an hour ago. Is this serious? My friends asked me about things happened 6 yrs ago, about my high school year. I tried to recall but I can't remember a thing!!
Is it because I don't get enough sleep gradually and it makes my brain memory performing slow? I am 26 this year.

Sometimes when I see a homless person, I want to say something kind to brighten their day. But other than hello, how are you, and other general comments, what could I say without coming across as if I feel pity for them? Something that would uplift and encourage them. Or remind them that they are still important and worthy just like everyone else? What are some general items that would be very helpful to a homeless person, other than food and money? Something they might be able to use often?

I don't know what to do. My best friend has bordeline and is suicidal. I love her deeply. i would lay down my life for her. i have been trying to support her for over a year now but i'm beginning to burn out, if i haven't already. i'm mentally exhausted, possibly suffering from anxiety and depression( though i don't have an official diagnosis for that, I'm too scared to get it) but i just feel sadness all the time and cry so often for her. i'm constantly afraid that she will be cutting or worse attempting suicide from way too many past experiences supporting her through that. Lately she has started blaming me for everything, which i know is a paty of the illness but still it's really hard to deal with. She recently attempted suicide twice and both times has blamed me. it is ripping me apart to deal with this. part of me just wants to say stuff it i've had enough i can't deal with it anymore and if i stay i'll burn out so i need to walk away from her. but then i love her deeply, i fee

Did anyone ever have anxiety attacks fearing for the safety of their family? A few months ago I started worrrying obsessively about my sister. She is 18 and I became so afraid something would happen to her, I would get this weird horrible feeling come over me. It was so bad, I always worried about her but this was taking over my life. I couldn't go anywhere, I was always calling her when she was with her friends. I am doing better now, I am on Effexor. I haven't had any of those weird feelings since June, but I still worry about her and am afraid something bad will happen to her. I was just wondering if anyone else had a problem like this?

My friend is waiting for her disability to give her an answer for approval or denial. When she checked on the status they said the earliest date would be December 20th for either answer. This was in October. It is almost that date of course and I know disability can take 3-6 months. Her reason is covered by them but this type of disability (Bipolar Disorder I Secondary Diagnosis Personality Disorder unspecified) is a fine line. She has plenty of older documentation but most recent is not so much. Since it is so close is it possible it is an approval. Also, by disability I mean SSDI and SSI. Just thought I would ask around because I ran out of ways to reassure her. thanks.

I finally went to the doctor today about my chronic insomnia, anxiety, and lightheadedness. My doc says that it's PPD and prescribed a mild anti-depressant. Is it normal (I've had the insomnia for almost two years now) to have PPD this late after brith? My daughter is a preemie and yep, I blame myself for her early and complicated delivery also.

Here's what is happening to me. I black out. But I don't fall or anything. I just kind of walk around in a daze for a few minutes then I snap out of it & realize that I have no idea what I've done. I lose a few hours here, a few minutes there. I don't know what I have done & I've even ended up at Walmart & have no idea how I got there. I went to the doc today & she ordered MRI's & EEG's, bloodwork, and an evaluation by a shrink. I forget things all the time. I had an appointment to get my tubes tied once, I cancelled the appointment & realized that I wanted a baby. Immediately. I hate my boyfriend, the next day I decided I want to be married, immediately. So we do.

My decisions & my thinking is completely irrational. I get (really) angry and then snap out of it. I get really depressed then I snap out of it.

My doc said that seizures come in many forms. Some people pass out literally & some just walk around in a cloud for a while until they come-to. Anyone have any idea?

I'm a 19 year old female and lately I've been having these feelings of extreme rage. I can literally feel the anger rushing through my body and if anyone even says one word to me, I go off. The worst bout I had, I was so angry that I sat rocking in my room for nearly an hour, scratching my wrists. I now have two huge scars from this fit. It feels like I'm just going to explode. Then later on I'm a perfectly normal mood. What's happening to me/ I also have trichotillomania, a condition that causes me to pluck hairs from my body. I have had it since I was like 7. But this disorder calms me down during my fits. I've tried talking to my mom about it but she doesn't think I need any help. I'm going through one of my fits now and I just need some help. I've seriously had very violent thoughts about people that I care about and I just want this to stop. That's all. Thanks for your help.
