Mental Health - January 2007

I have trouble opening up. But want some help. I'm not sure how I could be helped, maybe I just need some drugs to lift me up. Feeling lonely, stressed... I just hide all my feelings, and then by the next day I've usually forgotten them and start over again. I don't feel I have the strength to help myself. I'm not motivated to exercise, to study, or to phone the GP. I'll probably be able to put a new "facias" on for school when term starts, but I might still feel this bad. I have a history of depression and I don't know if it's just my personality that puts me in this position. Can I pull myself together? (I'm in Scotland btw)

Is there a sure-fire way to know if I am bi-polar without seeing a doctor ? Thank you for all of the serious answers.

I am an addict. I do not want to be. To think of once an addict always an addict makes me deppressed. Its like being sentenced to death afraid to go to the dentist or doctor, if there was a need for pain meds. what kind of life is that? The irrational fears and anxiety make me tired.

Anxiety is really having a negative affect on my life. Its affecting my social life, school, and work. I try to hide it but sometimes its really hard. Some people just think I'm mean or anti-social but when Im around a group of people I feel really uncomfortable and I think others can sense it. I've been suffering from this since my pre-teen years and I thought I would grow out of it but I was wrong. Its making me lonely because avoid others just so I wont have to go through feeling this way.Now being a little older I have identified that I have I problem and I need solutions my anxiety is blocking who I really am and I dont want to be like this for the rest of my life.

I drink all the time. When I am depressed, alone, or bored. It makes me feel worse but how can I stop. I am addicted. I think if I met people and had friends or a girlfriend I wouldn't as much. but how can I meet someone. No one seems interested in me.

not trying to be rude. Doctors: why do they act the way they do?Any scitzofrinics? i need to understand why you think the way you do. should i be worried? my aunt is a scizofrinic.my aunt is 40+ years old, and im 15. i like spending time with her, because she's nice and kind. but she gets on my nerves sometimes, because i will say something and she will just look and stare at me, and say something like "STOP IT!" and then she will always wonder what im doing if im in the kitchen, for too long, she will come in there and see what im doing. she also annoys me by laughing at stuff i say. and talking bad about me. but inside shes really nice, and she used to be nice to me, she probably gets fed up some with me. but she doesn't like to be alone, and when ever my uncle is out of rown she calls me to stay the night with her. are these actions normal for her. she is on medication.

In Oct., I suffered a series of mind-blowing headaches that made me hurt so bad (on the right side of my head, mostly), I'd get tremors. They made me feel as if I was dying, and it felt like electricity moving through my skull. I could feel when they were about to happen, 'cuz the left side of my brain would start to tingle and feel weird. No meds helped, and that includes Tylenol, Advil, or whiskey. These episodes left me drained, very tired, and were unpredictable. Then one night, while I was having another episode, I told my b/f I didn't love him anymore, and I had no idea why I said it. My behavior was erratic afterwards, and my beautiful 4-yr. relationship started to rapidly deteriorate. We have no unresolved issues, and my love treats me like a princess. So...what gives? What could make me feel like dropping out of love with my future husband in one night? What the heck happened to me? These headaches totally messed up my world!

Several days ago he told me he hasn't been happy for a long time even before we met (we've been together for 3 years). He had very hard childhood, his mother died when he was little and he had very hard times since then including beeing sexially abused. He doesn't love his job, he told me lately, and it's been going on for a while. I'm strugling to find out the way to help him. I love him very much and want him to be happy but I don't really know what to do. Please, help!
Thanks to everybody for your unswers.
