Mental Health - January 2007

How do i out my past behind myself. I lay awake at night, my head spinning with thoughts of the past, always coming up with reasons that i cant move on with my life. For many years now, one positive thing in my life would turn into two negative ones. So ive burried myself in a hole out of peoples way. I put on a smile only to avoid the most painful question.."are you ok?"...i want to talk about it, but so many times ive been looked down apon because of it. How do i get myself out of this place. What do i need to do to move on. I feel like i have no reason to try anymore. So i ask for advice from everyone out there. How am i supposed to pull myself out of this mindstate whee everything in life seems so negative.

I need rediagnosis and intensive therapy, I think. Basically I need a new approach and outlook that accounts for the whole problem I am dealing with. I am very unhappy but feel I am extremely capable if I can get my mental health under control. Problems contributing to my inability to cope with life may be - bi-polar, ADHD, Anxiety and Seasonal complications and very poor habits and poor coping skills.

Their relation to each other. I understand that instant gratification and impatience go hand and hand. ADD is a disorder that explains the impatient person. Put how would they all blend together?

I'm over-sensitive and I my emotions consume me. In some of my difficult classes, I have difficulties listening to the professor. If something bothers me, it stays with me. For example, if I feel like I'm never going to get something (feeling stupid), I start to go into my own world. I start thinking that I will never get it. My classes have just started and I missed out on all the important instructions. What can I do to prevent this? I'm afraid I'm going to fail. I want to get great grades. I don't want to feel lost in the class. Do I need medication?

I really can not concentrate. I meditate and do yoga. Is there an exercise or something I can eat for concentration?

The human body isnt that tough. Why do all these "suicidal" people fail at killing themselves so frequently? Because they know that our pathetic system will coddle them, and tell them how special they are. Its obvious 95% of these people are taking advantage of our system.

The solution is to legalize suicide. Need help? here is a diagram and a plan for success. Refuse these failures any healthcare for injuries/illnesses stemming from suicide attempts. Guaranteed our attempted suicide rate would plummet overnight.

Thoughts?

I have a husband who I love to death and we have our own place. But since I quit my job a month ago, I moved back in with my parents. I lost weight, can't sleep and my parents have to take care of me because I can't do it on my own. I'm worried that if I can't get out of my depression soon, I will lose my husband. Please help! I dont' know what to do.

It is ruining my life, I cannot get anything done in a timely manner. My anxiety is getting worser especially when I am stress out. I am tired of doing my same old routines such as checking doors and the stove and iron. Checking to make sure the water faucets are off. Just making sure everything is in order such as clothes, shoes, etc. What can I do to treat this condition. I have been on medicine before (Luvox) but it seem to make it worse. I have to do something about this. It is out of control. I even try to avoid doing things so that I wouldn't have to be checking things over and over. It is taking a big part out of my life. My obsessions are checking, counting, touching. Any advice or experiences that you could share with me regarding the ocd. Thanks

I often have dreams where i fall asleep - well I think I do! But i'm not really asleep. Everything is the same in my bedroom apart from one detail - my bedroom door is always ajar - I fall asleep (so I think) and I wake up and realise something isn't right, something is out of place but I think its ok cos I am awake only next thing someon is standing over me and then tries to smother me I'm screaming and thrashing about (well I think I am but I have asked my parents why they didn't come and help and they have said they have never heard me screaming) Because it is so real I think its happening and then I wake up gasping for breath. Thats just one of my dreams the others are just as bad and I've had these dreams for years! Can you tell me what they're about?

If someone has repeatedly talked about and threatened suicide over a short period of time (a few months) and it seems all the resources are exhausted -- to the point of being under constant supervision for a few days and talking to a psychologist -- how can an outsider prevent the act? He refuses further counseling and attempts to use the threat for bargaining (if you do x, I will or won't,etc) or as retribution (you have done x, therefore I will). He has also stated that he "doesn't wish to be happy" and refuses any help or assistance offered.
It has become an act of futility to try to reason with this individual yet every conversation is increasingly more dark and macabre. It has reached the point where I may receive 6 or 7 phone calls a day and as he has shut almost everyone else out, I feel guilty in that I am exhausted. I have hit a dead end and have run out of options (that's why I'm bringing it up here - desperation).

I've been off work for a week or so due to shoulder surgery and I'm bored to death..I've been doing the one-armed mr. mom thing, but I can't shake the feeling of worthlessness. I'm collecting a good work. comp. check, so its not the $$. My wife works hard all week and I want her to feel apreciated.. What else can I do? Even though she hasn't complained about anything.
