Mental Health - January 2007

Okay, first off, i don't think i am but my friends do. See, I have a mental illness, borderline personality disorder. I take drugs to get away from the depression and stuff, you know, drink to drown the pain? well, this is far worse, and I'd rather not say. Anyway, my b/f, he is upset about it and I feel really bad, but he said that whatever makes me feel good makes him feel fine too. I don't want him to date a juvinile, who, not only is crazy and on probation, but is a drug addict as well. How do I work this out to help the both of us? you don't know how much it'd help me

I have been asked several times by people at church if I was Ok and if I wanted to talk. I just smiled and said maybe some other time. What do I do. I'm scared that if I tell someone that they won't look at me the same.

My doctor just put me on bupropion for depression. I am just wondering what anyone else has to say about it. I have heard good things and bad things about it. I want some opinions. Does it work? And how well.

For example, he took during the day 375 mg of Effexor and at bed time (3 AM) took two Tylanol PM and one other former depression pill now used for inducing sleep in patients. He slept for 12 hours (to 3 PM) and even after " breakfast" he kept nodding off when he had work to do. He drank two cups of Coffee to try to wake up, but that did not work. What can he do to wake up if he also has no energy and no desire to do anything but sit around when he gets in this kind of situation. I mean something quick so he does not ruin the next night's sleep by sleepin any more that day and not being able to sleep a regular 8 or so hours?

(...guess not, right...)

how can somebody "do" sth. like that to someone; I mean, I never cry over anyone in my life, just this person. It never happened before and it wont happen again.

recently because of the emotions ive been having ive ended up getting angry at stupid things. earlier today i had an arguemen with my mum and i ended up telling her to **** off, and i DO swear way too much. recently my dad has been telling me to stop swearing especially at my mum, and i am trying but its hard to control some of the things i say. just before my dad came in and closed the door, then he threatened me and told me that if i ever swore again hed knock my tooth out.he held me by the neck when he said it, and i had this urge to hit him in the face as hard as i could.i hate having these uncontrollable emotions.my dad is really awesome so i dont want to ever have to do anything against him,i know this has nothing to do with bipolar but i just want to know if there is any way i can stop swearing without a swear jar.

Im 5'2" and 89 pounds, and on new years I managed to drink 2 glasses of champagne, 1 jello shot, and about 5 or 6 shots of other stuff at a party..

I drank all of this on an empty stomach, in less than 2 hours.. I also take 450 mg of wellbutrin xl..

Im scared because, although I remember drinking those drinks, I dont remember actually choosing to drink them, I also dont remember what I said to people, but I remember talking to them. I dont know what happened after the new year countdown, but sometime between 12am and 6am I passed out and woke up in a bed at this house (and yes I know how dangerous and stupid that was)

how serious is this..could I have died that night? what is a safe amount of alcohol for someone my size to drink, and how do you know when to stop?

The termination was a couple of months ago and seemed to go fairly smoothly, or a smoothly as could be hoped for, but over the last few weeks she has got so down shes hardly recognisable at times. I want to help because I love her a lot but feel completely shut out and impotent.

Ive got bipolar and more on the depressed side right now. Its hard for me to sleep at night and Im wicked stressed about stuff. Im going to be finishing college in a year and I really have no clue what I want to do . I have been in college for about 7 years now and I feel like I have been stuck for a long time. My psychiatrist is tryin to show me ways to chill out but I just feel like there is too much to let chill. My view ahead is getting closer and closer and I just dont feel anything. I wish there was something to get me out of this haze. Nobody I talk to seems to have any answers so maybe could anyone offer some suggestions Im runnin out of energy waiting for some kind of direction.

i recently heard about it after being active on this site and i researched it a bit and i think i might have it.

im only 14 years old and ive had thoughts and 3 attempts of/at suicide.im either extremely depressed or extremely hyper.i can never sleep properly because i have too much on my mind, and often im not interested in eating meals like breakfast and lunch. im extremely paranoid. often when im angry i have done something, to physically harm family and friends. i dont like doing this and afterwards it causes me to be more depressed. often i pretend to be happy to my friends but sometimes i think that i hate my friends because they have no idea im depressed. because i have these emotions whcih my friends havent experienced i feel as though i am better than them. i do extremely well in school, im a keen digital artist at the age of 14, which makes me good of myself but i feel like there is a whole other side to me.i dont want to go to a doctor to get diagnosed. do i have bipolar?

My boyfriend was laying on the couch last night, sleeping. When he awoke, he started screaming at me about calling him insane and crazy and about a conversation WE NEVER HAD. I kept trying to tell him we never had that conversation and I never called him insane, but he isn't listening and continued to yell. At first I thought he wasn't coherant because he was sleeping, but he's still angry at me today!

At one point last night, he even searched for a cigarette he was sure he had lit when he had been sleeping almost all night. I told him he didn't have one lit and he accused me of calling him crazy again. Is this a mental problem or something else? I'm not sure how to deal with this. Everytime we talk about his mental state, he blows up at me for mentioning it.

Any ideas what this is or what I should do?

If this info helps:

Danish/swedish background, living in Canada, soft voice [not deep at all].

My own thoughts: Perhaps it is due to lack of testosterone, or lack of interaction with people my own age [intrapersonal].
