Is there any meds that can just get rid of the depression for bipolar so I can still have my manic states........they help me with creativity.

2007-01-08 07:33:49 · 5 answers · asked by Leslie S 1

ok , i need to ask this question.Right from the childhood i have been a shy, introvert and lonely boy and people used to comment/mock at that.I have heard that kids usually have imaginary friends so I had too. Infact a whole imaginary family.I am now 21 yrs old and still have that imaginary family.I have hardly any friends and have no one to share my feelings with and its all piling up inside.So i have no option but to discuss it with myself or my imaginary family members. I have always felt deprived of love and no recogonition or appreciation from others.

Now for the past few yrs I have been in depression. I have always been a modest, philanthropist and altruistic by nature but fed up with diplomacy and cunningness of people.Not performing well academically too and suffering from extreme low self confidence.Humiliated uncountable number of times by many people.All these things are turning me into a misanthrope (which i consider menace to the society) and make me believe that all people are self centred.

It seems that i am a burden on my parents and every time I see them it makes me feel guilty.They expect me to be diplomatic and extrovert just like my elder brother which is very hard for me to do.Not that they don't love me but I feel that they don't have confidence in me anymore.

There is not even a single day that i don't cry alone at night in my room and thoughts of commiting suicide surpass me every now and then.But to be honest i don't want to die, not because i am afraid but because I want to prove myself to others, to achieve something, make people realize that they were wrong in judging me.But it has been 7 yrs now and my condition has just became worse and nothing seems to improve in the near future.So, its better to end myself now instead of causing troubles to myself and others.I know i will certainly ease some tension from my parents no matter what anyone says.The only reason i am still alive is tiny little hope deep inside in the corner of my heart that says "be patient, good things will happen for u".What shoukd i do?

I know its quite long but i had to write it one day.Thanks for reading.

Please don't ask me to see the psychiatrist simply because i can't.

i'm so depressed right now. i dont know what to do. i have no one to talk to, and even if i did i dont know how I could tell them what i'm feeling. i feel alone, i'm scared. i feel like its never going to get better because i've been waiting for it to for a long time. i hate myslef for what i look like and all the mistakes i've made. i'm scared of everything and i get so nervous about the smallest things. sometimes i have problems where i need to touch things or do things a certain amount of times, like washing my hands, becuse i think if i dont my life will be ruined. i'm 14 and nothing seems to be helping me and i dont know what to do. i cant take this anymore, i feel so alone and like i mean nothing to the world. what do i do?? please help me....

I am ver anxiuos about everything and always think the worse. WEll the other day i recieved a weird chain letter about making fast money. I have since been very concerned about how they got my address and if the letter that i opened was poisoned. I have now been researching anthrax thinking that i was contaminated from the letter. What are the chances of anyone doing this? I know i am probably overreacting but at the same time i cant stop from thinking these thoughts and i dont know who to talk to about it. I feel like asking for a blood test to test for anthrax. What should i do?? WOuld anyone else worry about such things from a strange letter?:

They are scary as hell. i hate my boss, i hate my Dad (who is BP and beat up my Mom). Sometimes I fantasize about killing him or my boss. My thoughts go all the way into the planning phase. he deserves it. So does my racist boss. I want to key his car, or even think about hurling a molitov cocktail through his window. He forced me to resign and I want to make him pay.

I get a grip usually,but these things have exploded into real violence (fighting in bars, hockey, family, friends everywhere, years ago). I have a real mean streak and it comes out of nowhere.

They have come back because of some stressors that I feel, job search, family problems

Scary crap, Huh? Anyone else feel this?

today she was with her friends playing with a digital camera so I told her not to take a picture of me then she said:Why would I want to take a picture of your ugly face .at that time I lost it and punched her on her face in front of her friend(I know that what I did is so wrong but I couldn't take it any more)
plz tell me how can I deal with my family? should I just continue my studies and travel to another country so I won't see them anymore?

I'm about to confess something I haven't told ANYONE I know in real life.

I have this terrible addiction to pornography and every time I try to quit, I get dragged back into it. (You gotta give me credit for at least TRYING to quit.) The REAL problem is, I need Internet access on a computer in order to communicate with business clients and order resources and parts for my job. It's also my main source of social interaction when I can't get outta the house.

I've tried at least three unsuccessful attempts at trying to stop this addiction; can anyone give me advice on how to quit?

Please don't waste your time OR mine with those "You're a pervert" answers either; I'm trying SO hard to quit.

I know people say you should just try to focus on the positive things, but how do you stop thinking about the negative at the same time? How do some people manage to just completely ignore those negative things?

I always feel like I'm worrying about one thing or another, busy being jealous or judgmental and then feeling guilty about it, self-conscious about what I look like and what others think of me, getting worried that I'm not well-liked, approval-addicted and ambition-driven, loudmouthed and outgoing, not afraid to take risks, which then equals more "trouble" and complication for me. I'm also always praying about my problems, which get solved but then more of them come up, leading me to struggle somewhat or grow distant in my faith sometimes. My boyfriend of 1.5 years, who is almost the exact opposite although we get along perfectly, seems to have SUCH a simpler life. He just gets up, eats food, goes to college, does well because he's like a genius, reads sports news and watches ESPN, hangs out with his buds and with me, sleeps all the time, and keeps devoted to God and our church...

How does this happen? I've tried to live like him but it's just not ME! Please help... I'm troubled.

I have been off work for about 3months due to a medical condition. My Dr. wrote me a note to return to work, but all I have done is throw up and cry all morning. Since I have been off, my job has changed. I'm so worried that I won't be able to do this job and get fired. I have always been a hard worker and have never taken such a long time off of work. I've been taking anxiety medication but I can't take it before I drive or I might fall asleep. I need some advice...I don't want to lose my job but how can I keep working there if I suffer a panic attack before I have to go into work everyday?

i have a genetic bone condition which means i break/ crack a bone roughly every couple of years. the symptoms of my condition are pretty much supposed to stop when i get to about 20 years old (not long to go, im 18) but sometimes it gets me so depressed. the thought of breaking another bone actually scares the shi t out of me, partly cos i hate how people react and being judged, partly cos im a musician and i cant play if ive hurt my arm, and partly cos im a man and i dont want to be weak (although im muscular and dont look like i have a problem). i dont know if/ how i can get it through it if it happens again. also i worry about doing something that will do permanent damage, like break my neck or something. also sometimes it dettaches me from my friends, cos i cant tell a lot of them cos i know they wont understand or will act differently around me. anyone have any tips on how to deal with this? anyone else have a similar problem?
thanks a lot
