Mental Health - January 2007

It takes me close to an hour before I sleep (usually due to exhaustion). I tend to think about too many thing before I go to sleep which makes it hard to fall asleep. Are there any techniques you guys use to get to sleep quicker?

I am a high school freshamn and I have two probelms with people making fun of me. One of them is a guy named Frank. He always is mean to be because I am smart. What should I do to get back at him or how do I let him he it doesn't bother me. (Even though it does.) The second is this guy named Joe. He makes fun of me because I have OCD. I am not fully OCD I have just 60% of the sympotoms. How do I prove to him that I do have OCD ? And how do I get him to quit making fun of me? Also what are some good comeback that I could say to both of these boys?

I am not sure if I have anxiety disorder or depression. Should I go to a psychiatrist, or a general doctor, or counselor or who?

I am considering going on depakote for bipolar, but am still breastfeeding my 6 month old. I know the AAP says it's OK, but I'd like to hear if anyone has personally done this.

My teacher told me I might have a Social anxiety disorder. What does it mean?

2007-01-25 07:10:18 · 15 answers · asked by Puchiko 3

In the past my internist has put me on ativan for anxiety, I didn't take it because I was worried that it might make me sick physically. My doc has never suggested that I see someone about my anxiety so I assumed that meant he didn't think it was very severe. The problem is, I feel like I have to mold my whole life around trying to keep my anxiety level down - where I work, where and when i shop, how I dress, what I eat, the worst is how I interact with people, I feel like I'm always saying the wrong thing, and if I'm in a crowd of people (such as a classroom) I can't talk without turning beet red or starting to stutter. Am I being unreasonable and whiny or should I see someone?

Hi, well i'm a male living in Europe and since the last 10 year's i,ve been put on Lithium because i've been found as a person with bipolar sindrom! What i'm asking is if anyone with my same problem is willing to answer, and that is if he or she is been takeing these pill's for more time than me is 1. Are you still alive? 2. Are you happy with your new way of living? 3. Do you have a job and a Family or are you just as lonely as me? 4. Fourth and last question, In what way do you think that Psychiactric Doctor's have tried and try to help us, for are own health or just for the sake of the people who surround us, since w'ere so different from normal peolple, so most normal people are afraid of us? and this is not just my idea! because after i've been diagnosed with this sindrome, well my life has really changed a lot, i've changed my job, i've lost nearly all my friend's and when i meet a woman, well it's really hard to tell her that your bipolar, bescause most of them just say bye bye!

HELP!!! I work for a man who I swear has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Every "symptom" fits him perfectly! I can't just up and quit until I have something else in line. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with someone like this? At least until something better comes along.

I am having surgery on my mouth tomorrow. I am 15 years old, and have a severe fear of , doctors, needles, and dentists. :( I am scared out of my wits. And my grampa keeps talking about it and saying how I could die and stuff. He knows how I feel but he won't stop. I need some coping tips. They are going to give me some relaxation drugs when I get there at 5 am tomorrow, but I am afraid they will be like the last ones and they won't do a thing for me.!!

I feel so nervous, like I am going to throw up! And I have been trying not to think about it but it seems everytime I turn on the radio or tv there always seems to be something about a doctor or hospital on there. I basically need some comfort!!
Please help!!

My friends think I take things to Seriously, Can be very mean and quite deceptive. At the same time People think I'm Sentimental and to sensitive. I get touched by silly things very easily. I somewhat cry habitually over sad things I cant change or are fiction.
How do I get nicer and less complicated?

Hi,

I need some advice please.

I had something really strange happen yesterday and I don't know what to do.

I got a very angry offline message from my g/f last night about an offline message I supposedly sent to her. I didn't write it and I don't know who did. It came from my messenger so it looks like I wrote it but I swear I didn't.

I know I had a splitting headache yesterday morning after I got a "Dear Jane" eamil from my g/f and the next thing I knew it was 10:00pm and I was back in front of the computer looking at the offline message my g/f sent me about the message I supposedly sent her.

I'm wondering if it's possible that there's another inner that I don't know about, and one that obvoiusly hates me because this message was at the very least malevolent.

Please, anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated as I am so confused and scared right now that I can hardly think.

Thankyou,

Lynn

I feel like I'm constantly stressing about something and I don't know how to relax or calm down. People even my parents tell me i stress too much, yet i just don't know what i can really do. Escpecially is I'm stressed about something thats coming up or something. Anyone know how i can not stress over so many things? I've heard exercise and eating right helps but i really don't see how it does.

ok here goes, this really annoying me and i need some help.
Im scared of having sex with girls.
i am NOT a virgin i have had sex three times before, I lost my virginity whilst off my head on drugs to a firend and lasted ages but couldnt feel anything so it wasnt exactly heaps of fun.
There was a girl who i was kind of in love with but we were friends for like a year before we went out, that lasted about two weeks before she dumped me, we didnt have sex.
Then i found another girl who i really liked and trusted, i told her i was scared and she didnt mind, we had sex and it was nice but i lasted literally one second.
She dumped me because she was cheating on her boyfriend with me and didnt like it (obviously i cant help thinking it was because of the sex)
I met a girl recently who was good but i came from a HAND JOB in like a second. I dont mind licking ***** etc. I am good at talking to girls, good looking etc. I know its a confidence problem but what do i do?
