Mental Health - January 2007

feel like I haven't studied enough, or I am being lazy when I stop to relax for a minute. For example, I just had a week off from school for winter vacation and I go back to school tomorrow, and I am sitting here thinking "I could have practiced my clarinet more for my audition, now I am not going to get into concert band, oh no, mid-terms are in 2 1/2 weeks, I didn't study that much, now I am going to fail them all" What do I do, I always feel like whatever I do isn't enough or isn't good enough, I hate this, I occationally feel suicidal, although I never think I will commit, I can't put my family through that kind of pain, but my great grandpa did commit so it does run in the family, HELP!!!!!!

I am 17 year old and both my father and brother are abusive (both physically and emotionally), and it causes a lot of stress. Lately my dad has been a lot more mentally abusive, which I find worse, and I feel it is interfering with me trying to lose some weight. But whenever he or my brother goes into one of their random fits, I just feel like saying "the hell with everything," and for a few hours don't care what I eat (and I'll eat chips or cookies or other unhealthy foods to "comfort" me). Then, I always feel so guilty about going off my diet and eating gross foods. How can I put a stop to emotional eating?

whenever i can't do something, or i fail whilst trying something, these thoughts fly into my head of asking satan/lucifer to help me achieve the goals!? yet i don't want there help, i want to do stuff on my own.

see, even now, i'm talking as if they are living, breathing people.

i suffer from depression alot, and i feel as if the depression is trying to get me killed, but i don't want to die yet, or be killed, but i feel as if the depression is constantly trying to get me onto a route that would lead to suicide and/or death.

its really frightening me, and at the same time, pissing me off.

i fear these things because i don't understand them, thats the only
do understand about it all.

This is a serious question. I am not being mean I'm just curious if they can understand others feelings or is it only ever about themselves. My closest friend has borderline and although i love her to bits she can be really self absorbed with her own emotions. everything always comes back to being about her. If i am hurting she somehow twists that into a perception that i am saying she's a terrible person. Everytime i get hurt it gets twisted around so that my emotions are causing her to hurt more. So do they actually have any concept about others emotions or can they only see their own. it is a well known fact that borderlines are manipulative and hurtful to their carers but do they know what they are doing and do they care? i am not saying that i am angry with this, i'm just curious if they are aware of what they are doing because sometimes they seem completely oblivious toward others emotions

Somebody told me that you can tell whether it's the right drug for you within a week of taking it because you would feel better almost immediately if it is. It has something to do with adjusting the level of chemicals in the brain etc...

If you don't feel much better shortly afterwards, that means it's not the right one for you.

anyone with similar experience? any views?

hi there. i have some problems. i'm going back to university after christmas. it is my first semester. i missed a couple of weeks before christmas because i have been exhaused with working loads and my confidence has been shaky. i know i am suffering from depression which has been brought on by exhaustion and insomnia. the past month has been a nightmare. i'm embarrassed going back next week as i have missed 4 assignments and i feel like a loser. before the course i did lack confidence in my intelligence due to negative put downs by my upbringing. i know if i never had these hangups or fellt depressed i could do well. i'm still feeling really bad but i don't want to give up. this is my dream and i have finally reached it and now i am messing up. i just went on a downward spiral with the lack of sleep and tiredness which resulted in me not able to concentrate on doing my assessments. i am a mature student but i am young enough to change my career. can anyone help?

who would sit at their pc and for hours and hours answer strange theoretical or bogus questions? who are those guys? it really seems unnatural and such a person might as well be locked in a cell in a cellar. they scare me for some reason.

For example, the other night i had a dream i was watching a run dmc performance...im not a run dmc fan, but when i dreamt i was at this performance every word they sung was the right lyrics. this freaked me out because I dont know theyre lyrics and how can i be at theire concert hearing every word..word for word correctly.
I also have dreams where the dialogue used is intelectual, words which I would never use because theyre not in my vocabulary, theyre more words which ud see Stephen Fry or Will Self using!
does anyone know what i mean?

I doubt whether many of us have 'died', & lived to tell the tale but when we go to sleep & drift off into oblivion, we are aware of nothing going on around us until the moment we wake up again. So this must be like being dead in a way ........... any comments or info?????

I mean back in the days of manic-depression there were far and few between. you didnt hear about it all the time. My father was manic-depressive all the way back in the 50's or 60's my sister was diagnosed in the 70's. I have been diagnosed in 2002 but i knew and my family knew i had it long before. I have been told by professionals that it takes a while to diagnose bipolar disorder because it is soo similar to alot of other disorders. so my question is do you think because of all the new drugs the companies are pushing dr's now adays that more people are being labeled bipolar then they really are? i mean they might have symptoms of bipolar but not full on could be something else. Would like opinions .

I have a sharp pain that comes and goes behind my right eye, and sometimes the left, occasionally right behind my forehead. It will be a very sharp pain, last for about 20 seconds, then go away for like 5 seconds, this will go on for about 2 minutes, every few days. I used to have 20/20 vision until a few months ago. Now my right eye at distance of 15 feet, I can't read what I have had no problem with before. I am having short term memory loss and irrational mood swings. I will be extremely depressed for 2-3 days then fine for a few weeks. Sometimes I will be working on a computer (I am a computer tech) and I will just stop talking/working and stare at the screen totally forgetting what I was doing. It can take me 20-30 seconds before I can even move or think about what I was just doing. Then I have to try to retrace my steps to get where I left off. I also have a hard time sleeping, I can't stop thinking to go to sleep. When I do sleep I have bizarre and usually violent dream
