Mental Health - January 2007

this may sound strange to some but I am married with an adult child (20) who works & goes to college. Husb. works non stop. good provider but acts like an a$% most of the time to me. I have a job I love and work with people I adore and am thankful for that. I have a few good friends at work but I believe firmly in maintaining somewhat of a distance...I keep my home at home. My husb. owns a farm and has animals for awhile I was able to quell my loneliness by adopting his calves and taking care of them but it just doesn't get it anymore. I read my bible try to do whats right but am soooooo unhappy and lonely. On the outside, if you met me, you'd never ever know it. But its becoming harder and harder for me too "tamp down". Any ideas for overcoming this feeling? It's been with me for along time --ever since my mother died 6 yr. ago. I am the only girl with 3 older bro. Family split somewhat after my mother died. Any ideas out there for overcoming this??? Thanks in adavance.

I have this cousin. I'm really worried about her....now she talks about committing suicide and stuff like that. She says she wants to die and that she hate's her life. Sometimes she talks about how no one would care if she died. How do I make her see that I'd care...that we'd cared? How can I help her? She also talks about how she's ugly and stuff like that. How do help her self-esteem? I really want to help her some days I'm scared we'll lose her. Her mom doesn't see any of this she blames her mood swings on being a teenager or she blames us saying we pissed her off, but it isnt like that. Any suggestions?

I have been feeling really depressed lately. My cousin and her daughter just moved to Texas today, and so I'm only going to be able to see them about 3 times a year, when I would normally see them about 3 times a week. Another thing is that I barely have any friends, and highschool isn't as fun as I thought it would be. (I'm a freshman) I don't know whats wrong with me..I use to be really happy growing up, but recently my life has been kind of boring and I just feel so hopeless. Please help.

It just makes me lonely and disconnected. I don't want to be always the one to call others. Yet if I wait til they call me we will not talk as frequently. how often does your cell phone need to ring, for you to feel okay? once a day? once every other day?

I really want to quit drinking for good, but it is really difficult for me to do so. How does one overcome the craving of alcohol? How does one consciously embrace sobriety? I dont want it to ruin my life like it did my grandfathers. Before I get a family of my own one day, I dont one them to see me as the alcoholic. I want to be such a good man for my a future wife and my children.

Striving for a goal and obstacles come along, do you look for the outcome or dwell on the obstacle? I take everything that happens to me as an experience and a learning tool. What do you do?

So i talked to my doctor about 2 months ago about symptoms i've been having of anxiety attacks, and she put me on 0.5mg of Aditvan. I've gone through 13 pills with these two months but find that they arnt getting better and that im becoming more paranoid about going out. For example, i would rather stay at home by myself instead of going out with them. My friends told me the other day that in the last half a year they have noticed a change for the worse of me and my behavoir like im not the same fun person anymore! I thought it was just me that just thought ive changed but now others have noticed it. I have an appoitment with my doctor on Thursday and im not sure what to tell her, i dont want to make myself look crazy but its effecting me and my social life. Should i tell her this about not wanting to go out with people?, the medication not working to the full effectivness? Am i depressed? Im soo confused and want to keep my family out of this so any help is appreciated

He is increasingly worried about the safety of their children.

She, of course, thinks she is acting and behaving in a rational manner, and has so far refused to see any kind of specialist.

Bout a year ago I started cuttin myself. My best friends mom noticed n we tlked bout it, I told her I wuld stop n promised 2 come her wen I had a prob. She said cuttin is jus a cry 4 attention n dat I prolly jus wan my parents 2 start actually noticin me. Dat was prolly tru, n I did stop cutting, 4 awhile. So bout 4 months ago I started cuttin again. But now, I dont wan my parents attention, I jus wan dem 2 die n get out of my life. I hide the cuts better now, n I think i'm addicted to it. The deeper the cuts are, the more relieve it brings. I do rely wan 2 stop though, I jus can't. n the only person I wana tell is my best friend's moms sister(abby). She is lik my hero n I love her n her fam. more than anything n da world n I actually feel like i BELONG there. So i've actually considered many options 2 solve my probs but 0 of them r good. I could kill me, kill my parents, run-away, run-away n live wit abby, or jus keep livin the way i am n cutting. Which 1 sould i do? advice please!!

I am having a terrible time coping about a guy I was with for a year and half. When we were together he told me he wanted to commit suicide. It was an ongoing issue so I recommended he talk to a professional but he wanted to talk to only me. I tried my hardest to help him. Come to find out he kept a secret that he had a child he never met w/ a one night stand before we met. I helped him come to terms with it and when he finally met the child he ended our relaionship to pursue one with the mother of his child. I found all this out when I was in the hospital this past summer. I was pretty ill and the response I got was never to call him again. And there after he manipulated me into thinking I aided him into going back to the mother because I told him he should be a part of his child's life. They are not together anymore. But I am having an awful time dealing with how he treated me after I helped him with his serious threats of suicide. Ironically, i'm seeking prof. help b/of this:(

if so, what do you think happens in the seconds from switching a light switch off? in your own theory and imagination. I think of it like as though electricity goes back to the pilons in a field near by and shoots right up it and sparks up to the top and gives back some energy left of which u did not use as u switched off the lights and so someone else can use it for something else and so it travels there. what do you think. be as imaginative as u can be. lol :D i look forward to hearing your theories.
