Mental Health - January 2007

prone to uncharacteristic outbursts of anger for several years. Yesterday I took her to her dr. and he gave her medicine. The med said 'for Alzheimer's disease' and she is livid. I saw 'help and support' on my tool bar & thought maybe the answers community could give us some coping strategies or books for victims & their families. I want quality of life for her...tho she is not the same as before, she is my mother & I love her dearly.

Being ignored as a child, I find myself wreaking havok on Yahoo! Answers. Is this my fault or my parents? Keep in mind that I have a younger brother who is very spoiled. I am also verbally abused and called fat all the time. This has caused me to get an eating disorder on more than one occasion. Is the fact that I can't trust anyone my fault? BE HONEST.

Based on reasearch I believe that my fiance has BPD(borderline Personality Disorder) because the symptoms fit his condition perfectly. Because of it he is unable to get and/or keep a job for very long at all. He is very intelligent and wants to work in Alternative Medicine one day, we just can't afford schooling right now, or even help for his condition.
With school and two jobs its hard for me to support us. Are there any supportive or financial resources for people with BPD?? and advice??? anyone?? Help??

I have OCD. Self diagnosed tho! Here's some reasons why....
When I walk on sidewalks, I don't step on the cracks. If I do, I take two steps back over it, and walk over it again.
When I close my bedroom door, I open it all the way to the wall twice, close it, open about a foot four times, close it, and then turn the doorknob 6 times.
When I leave my bedroom, my hip must touch the doorknob.
When I close my bathroom door, I must turn & touch my hip on it.
I constantly rearrange stacks of papers, bottles on the bathroom counter, etc etc.
When I'm about to go meet a friend somewhere, or talk to someone at all, I worry & obsess over how it's gonna go- I play & replay the entire thing in my head, how it's gonna go, over and over again.
Things MUST have an even number- no odds over. (volume, iPod, etc.)
I know it's OCD. Isn't it???????
And how do I get treatment for it?
My problems are it needs to be free, no parents involved... I live in CA if that makes a difference.

This has happened 3 times in the past 3 months or so but me and my girl will be sleeping at night and I wake up unable to move or talk. All 3 times I've seen someone standing at the foot of the bed, or last night, they were on me. I can never make out a face, and I'm well aware it's not a ghost or anything but during that time it feels like im terrified and I try to wake my girl up or call her name but i cant talk at all or roll over. When I tell her in the morning what happened she's told me her mom called it Kawi (Cow-wi). What the hell is going on? Is is Sleep Paralysis?

i need some advice/support off you guys. I dont know how to make myself feel better. Ive started to join a kickboxing class which i find nerve wracking. I have been temporary promoted which is stressing me out. I am sad as i have no bloke yet if im feeling this im probs giving out wrong vibes to people in the first place.

I feel im being very closed in and not letting anything out of my personality to anyone even though i am fun and friendly. I feel im letting off wrong vibes to people and thats why they dont approach me as much. I dont seem to get know many of the peeps in my office due to my shyness. I want to be fashionable with my clothes but every time i go in a changing room i feel fat. What can i do to build my confidence up as everytime i try something ruins it again

I just recently had what I believe to be a panic attack. I had to go to the ER b/c my heart rate was at around 188, and now I'm struggling with anxiety, like fear of having another one, and just feeling down all the time, and depressed. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than taking medications) to help me overcome this before it gets any worse? Like breathing tecniques, or relaxation tecniques, just anything would help. I don't want to live like this forever. Serious answers only please. Thank you.
