Mental Health - January 2007

I'm 21 and I've smoked for 4 years, and I've quit smoking now for a week. Which YAY. I'm just wondering, that I have SOOO many cravings still, and they're intense.. Alot less then normal, but sometimes it's like " just a drag", but I know better then that. Plus my parents still smoke, in the house (they try not to beside me). But it's like, anything I use to do before having a smoke is making me want "just a drag" soooo badly... Plus is it true that you gain weight ? I'm a slim body figure, but like how much weight can one gain ? I've neevr gained weight in my life, do you think that will help not to ? I'm just naturally slim. and fit.
Thanks, any other tips or anything to help quit would be highly appreciated.

I watched this case-study on the telly that states a person who deeply depressed will have a amnesia. When I think about it, might be possible. Because I'm having a depression and when in deeply depressed, I finds very hard to remember detail surrounds me and myself.

ok, again, it is like almost 5 in the morning, and i still can't sleep.i haven't been able to sleep for awhile, and when i do manage to fall asleep, it takes me hours, and i usually wake up a couple hours later. I asked what i should do, here on yahoo answers, but a lot of the advice really didn't work all that well for me. And i don't think i am under a lot of stress. i haven't told my parents about my trouble sleeping,(i'm 14). i think i might have isomina, if that is how you spell it. i'm really tired of not being able to sleep, and i want to know if i should go to the doctor. and if i should, how much does it cost? because if it costs a lot, i'll just live with not being able to sleep. i wouldn't want to bother my parents with anything like that. i have a really hard time talking to them at times.

Thanks for your advice

So well my question is about this "problem" i've had since I was pretty young. Basicly what it is well..at times evrything I hear will like echo strangely...like its hard to describe but its like I hear the acctuall sound then it echoes back angry and depressing. Like it doesnt even have to be a human voice just like the sound of a saltshaker hitting the table can sound depressing or almost angry at me.

Now its not completely random though...its almost as though I can chose when it starts but then getting it to stop is hard. I dont know. I just feel like im insane....does anyone else get this? is this normal? Please help...

I don't think I can cope. There's been a lot of crap in my life thus far, but everything was better once he walked into my life. The more he loved me the more I loved myself, recently i've been self-harming again because it's been obvious he doesn't like me as much. Last night he ended it. I really don't think I can deal with life anymore - and where am I? ON YAHOO ANSWERS! becuase i none of my friends are available all of a sudden. I'm scared i'm going to do something stupid - i feel like killing myself...

help?

My family was abusive to me and I still suffering the effects from it. Mostly I have been okay but I get these anger strikes that I can't control. I get so angry and pissed off that I just want to destroy everything I own.

Okay...more about my past...My stepfather beat me everytime he drink(which was almost everyday). My mother ignored my cries for help. My stepsisters called me names and beat me too. My half brother bit out chunk out of my hand and left scars. I can't really remember the rest because it was too awful. I hear from my mother how he used to beat me for crying! FOR CRYING! Like a good whack will stop the tears.

Anyway, it's not the physical abuse that did it. It was the fact that I still trusted every one of them until I was 14. Everytime they hurt me, I would cry because of the pain on my body and the pain in my heart. It still hurts me now knowing that they liked hurting me. I still cry about it because I don't know how to cope.

I am a very shy person and I have always been and I don't like being so shy. I know I am going to always be a shy person, but I am tired of it. I wanna be able to talk to people and have normal conversations. But I am so quiet no one really knows anything about, except my family and my boyfriend. I wanna just say what is on my mind, let my feelings out, and not care about what people are saying and thinking about me. And when I am shy I just feel akward and stupid and I wanna say something but I hold it in and its affecting me every single day. I wish I can just let all of my worries go. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years and at first I could just talk to him about almost anything, and I lately I'm letting my shyness take over me. My new years resolution is to speak my mind about things. I have been speaking my mind but not as much as I want to. I need some help!!! Thank You!!!

I've had a pretty "average" childhood; Mom and Dad who were always there, loving and caring for us. We've had our problems like any other family, but nothing too serious. Strangely, though, I can only remember things from about the age of 11 or so. Anything before that doesn't exist in my mind. When I drink, my friends say I've said pretty strange stuff which has led them to ask me if I'd been raped or molested as a child. Honestly . . . I don't know. I mean, I don't think so, but how could I NOT know, right?! It's me, it's my body. Am I missing something? If something did happen, how would I ever know?
p.s. I'm 22, married, and I have a beautiful little boy. (hopefully that's helpful) :)

Do you tend to snack a lot on nights when you stay up the whole time? I seem to get so hungry in the night hours when I have trouble sleeping and eat a lot of crap like chocolate and granola bars and M&Ms....

For about 4 years now whenever I stay home alone at my house I get panic attacks and I cannot go to sleep. I have an over active imagination and think that someone is going to break in or something. I have stopped watching crime shows and scary shows at night but I still cannot go to sleep until 3 or 4 or in the morning when I'm exhausted. I don't have a job right now but I am going to hopefully have one soon. How do I make this stop? Is there anyone that has the same problem and if so have you gone to the dr to get some kind of meds and if so what was it and does it work and what are the side effects? Thank you so much.

I am 17 and when i was 15 or 16, i masturbated about my stepdad. He wasn't my stepdad yet but still ..they were engaged. I feel like i have to tell my mom because she is like more of a best friend than a mom and if you have a best friend she would most likely get mad at you for doing that about her boyfriend/husband. People keep telling me that i don't need to tell her. I know it is normal but i feel like i have to tell her and i don't know why. and ever since i have been obsessing over thinking i should tell her, i keep wondering if i would actually ever do something with him which i wouldn't but it's just thoughts since i am obsessing. What do i do? How do i get over it?
I just wonder, if i told her what her reaction would be ..mad or just akward how i feel ..i don't really know if i can picture her getting mad. We have a good relationship like best friends

I believe I no longer have ill will towards my parents for abandoning me when I was young and my grandparents emotional abuse however I'm not sure how to trust people. While I don't think I'm angry with them anymore I can't seem to shake there misguided opinion of me. No matter how hard I've tried to break the negative thoughts I still have them. How do I get over this?

when I was younger I was depressed sometimes and sometimes I was really aggressive and energetic. About a few months ago my symptoms escalated and now I am constantly happy one minute and angry the next. I don't think I'm bipolar but I have never seen a psychiatrist. what's wrong with me?

One of my best friends has been recently diagnosed as bipolar. I've seen the depression, but never the manic part that comes with it. In a way, I almost feel as she's been misdiagnosed. I know that I'm not a doctor, but I've learned that bipolar has both extremes and not just one. I'm sort of just waiting for her snap (as a lack for better words) one day and switch to the other extreme. I was hoping that you guys could bring some insight to me about being bipolar. Maybe the manic part is something that others don't see? I'm just really confused... and scared for her.
