Mental Health - January 2007

I've noticed that people normally associate blushing with having a crush on someone or when you talk to someone you like/love.

I don't normally blush in those types of situations. Even if I have a crush, I don't blush but rather just get shy.

I tend to blush when I feel embarrassed or vulnerable if I reveal something personal, if someone asks me something personal or when I receive attention because of it, even among my friends.

What are your thoughts on witnessing someone blush b/c of this? What are your thoughts if you yourself has blushed b/c of this?

I am starting a new career and it has cost a lot of money to get started (which my husband has been kind enough to provide). Now that I am ready, I am so afraid of failure. There is a knot in my stomach constantly. I feel like I can not even focus on success until I can calm my fear. Has anyone ever felt like this or have any suggestions.

Question Details: I turned 21 in december, finished my fall semester in college and had a month off- spring semester starts in a few days. The problem is that I was looking foward to this month so I can relax and well I havent been able to sleep well at all, my usually optimistic and enthusiastic thoughts dont come easily and I frustrate myself by thinking over and over why I keep feeling this way. Is this normal? is it cause i didnt have any routine this month - just getting up, watching tv, occasionally going out, _ I find myself thinking and worrying about things that in as recent as last month were never an issue such as when Im gonna meet the right girl, if ill have kids, etc. I was not nervous at all about graduating this spring and finding a job and all of a sudden I find myself in a state of what I can only term as insecurity or unfounded anxiety - has anyone ever experienced this? again i am a normally centered balanced person - at times I do feel like me again

I have a doctors appt on Monday and I want another antidepressant that helps and does not cause constipation, or weight gain. I want to go there and tell him that I would like to try another, besides effexor has too many other side effects and I have not liked it in the 2 years that I have been taking it. I also suffer from social anxiety disorder, so any suggestions would be so helpful to me at this point

I don't have any brothers, sisters, or pets. I'm shy. All of my friends always have a better/best friend than me they would rather hang out with.

Why do tears come from our eyes, why do we make a whining sound, what makes us not be able to control this feeling?

My 14 yr old son has ADHD, bi-polar, ODD and on the side he has a personality disorder Extreme Narsasissim, controling, argumentative, uncooperative, rude, hateful and on and on and on......

I'm single and its just him and I living together. He is on 4 different meds and he never goes anywhere or does anything outside of the home unless its with me. When i was 14 I was NEVER home. I was always at a friends house or going to the mall, whatever, but my son does not have even 1 friend. I NEVER get a break from him unless I'm at work. I have tried to help him make friends but he is such a dictator that nobdy wants to be around him. We have already been through years of therapy and my son is completely aware that his actions are the reason he doesn't have any friends but he doesn't care. He would rather not have any friends than change his behavior to accomodate them. he thinks that other people should change thier behavior to accomodate his needs.

What I'm asking: Can 'pulling an all-nighter be considered as a fast, like in the same reference to what fasting from food does to physical body?? Is it connected to meditation in any way whatsoever??

I can't interact, not in the way I used to in high school

Sometimes I can't make out what others are saying (we are all speaking American English)
Sometimes they would be wispering to me in class about some stuff and I won't be able to tell what they are saying and I will just either say huh and huh again (and look stupid) or pretend to laugh along or say something else to cover up.
Sometimes I can't follow a person's 'story'. It's as if they are speaking too fast and jumping a lot and I don't follow very well.
I admit I'm never a witty person but in high school I could still come up with some sort of funny retort when people joke with me. Now I can't. Worse, I try so hard that my responses become 'off'. Im so inconfident that I just pretend to laugh.

I'm in an ivyleague college. gpa3.5. Why do I have this problem? It wasn't like this b4 I came to college. Any tips on gaining or getting back my 'intelligence'? I can't communicate with anyone at all. Scared to talk to anyone

Another question about suicide in dreams. Last night I dreamt that I shot myself in the head and saw the ambulance come and pronounce me dead. Saw my husband calling my mother and her screaming but then saying "I always knew she was messed up". It just seemed that everyone was happy that I was gone. My ex told my husband "well I guess she made us both very happy". WHen I woke up this morning, I wasn't sad it was weird like I was okay with dying. I have tried to commit suicide once 15 years ago and have a history of physical and emotional abuse since I was 8.

I am taking trazodone at night to help me sleep and celexa in the morning. I just started it taking it 2 weeks ago.
Do you think I need to change my meds?
Do you think there is some correlation between my dreams and my depression?
I always thought dreams were kind of like a brain dump and didn't have any real meaning. WHat do you think?
