Mental Health - January 2007

This isn't the first time I've lost my wallet. I lose it over and over again and have never learned my lesson. Most guys put their wallet in their back pocket and since I've lost it when I put it there, I now put it in the inside pocket of my blazer. But just yesterday I lost it again. Are there any tips for a guy with a bad case of memory loss on how to manage my wallet?

I have a friend who has a lot of mental health issues (eating disorder, depression, anxiety) and is driving me CRAZY. She is a nice, smart, and wonderful person to be around when she is taking care of herself. But, lately she has been calling me in the middle of the night...telling me she wants to hurt herself, that she'd be better off dead, and that she is not eating and throwing up all the time (she has bulimia). I don't know how to tell her I am not qualified to help her. I want to be her friend...not her therapist. How do I tell her I can't cross this line and she needs to get professional help and not put this all on me as it is very stressful. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been asking myself this for years. Tell me what you think.

I have no self-confidence 90% of the time. I second-guess every decision I make to the point of inaction. I always think people think I'm a bad person even when I don't have evidence to back it up. I'm so afraid to talk to people at work that I can't do my job and miss deadlines constantly.

In my social life, I'm practically a shut-in. I love my wife, but I'm constantly relying on her for support to the point where she gets frustrated with me for not believing in myself. I'm timid in the bedroom and I never initiate sex because I'm scared she'll say no.

I feel like the world is a hostile place and I'm frightened and inadequate in every way. Despair is a common emotion for me.

I've done counseling before, but the guy was just a therapist, really, and couldn't or wouldn't diagnose me with any disease. I've taken Zoloft, but I didn't like the way it made me feel.

What should I do about this? Is this abnormal?

Sometimes I act crazy and i dont know why i do it.I think i'm losing the ability to be normal though seriously because im either acting crazy,having a laugh with my friends,or i'm just dead silent.Maybe it's a form of something wrong with my childhood?I wouldn't normally make a guess but my early years have been very .. very difficult.Do i maybe have the symptoms to something?

My first husband and I divorced almost 10 years ago. While I admit I had my faults we sought counseling while we were married because of his control issues and then he became emotionally abusive always calling me a sl*t and a whore. I was never unfaithful and he actually never accused me of cheating.
It was a very difficult divorce and the custody dispute was a nightmare that went on for almost 2 years! At one point my attorney had to tell him to stop saying I was a whore considering he had no proof that I was promiscuous before, during or after our marriage.
A couple of years ago my best friend told me that my ex called her out of the blue and said that the 2 of them should have gotten together after she and her husband split up.
She and I laughed about it because it seemed so pathetic.
Then recently he started calling me at work saying that he is sorry that there has been this rift between us and that he wants us to be friends especially for our child's sake(will add more info)

In the last few years there have been many advancements in terms of medicine for mental illness, so why are psychiatric hospitals still full of people, some of them who will spend all of their lives there?

I have obsessive compulsive disorder and find it impossible to disobey my rituals of checking the doors many times to see if it locked or not. Anyone here can actually disobey their rituals and choose not to do it without any medication?

I have been having feelings of anxiety & depression the past few weeks, but I don't have enough money to see anyone on a regular basis right now. Not having enough $$ for basic needs also makes me even more anxious & depressed. I haven't had anything really bad happen or done anything to myself or anything, but I'm really sick of feeling uncomfortable for 'seemingly' no reason. Even being around people I know doesn't seem to help, it just makes me feel more uneasy that I feel this way in general & the 'fear' that they know something's up, even though they probably don't, if that makes sense. Besides self-help books & exercise, which I'm doing, what are my best options?

She struggles with depression and has started cutting again :( We think it is a hormonal imbalance that always seems to go with her menstral cycle. She was refered to a specialist but they keep canceling! She needs help before she seriously hurts herself again. I feel completely helpless to do anything. She is also very lethargic. What to do? :( We think it also might be a thyroid problem. I am so torn up about all of this.

Sometimes when I'm driving I feel like the bottom of my car is going to fall out and I'll get killed, I imagine it all the time. My heart starts racing (even when I'm the passenger sometimes) because I get so anxious about it. Its not all the time, but a lot of the time this happens. One time I had to pull over like 8 times on a 2 hour drive so I would stop freaking out. I know I might have anxiety, and right now I'm on Wellbutrin SR for depression too, but how in the heck do I stop getting like this? Its really debilitating sometimes!

My Manager has started putting job insecurities in my mind. He always needs a chance to prove that I am worth nothing and that there r million mistakes in me. I have asked him lot of times to tell me wats wrong but it seems that I dont fall upto his expectations!!! i know deep within that I am working fine, but he has screwed up this image!
Though I feel I am taking some time to grasp things at my work place but i feel that I m steady and going at the right pace looking at others working alongside.
I dont have any brother or sister to support me and my parents, neother do i have any savings for my future. I am scared what if I lose this job? just becos of this I am not able to concentrate on work and dont even feel like going to work! even my personal life is getting disturbed and I am very depressed and tensed most of the time.
wat should be done?
