Mental Health - January 2007

I feel myself bad because I have no boyfriend. Do I have to have a boyfriend to prove people that I can be liked/loved?

I feel ashamed to go round with my mother or alone when people are around with their girl/boyfriends.

After two and a half years' treatment for severe depression and several changes of medication, my GP is going to refer me to a psychiatrist. I have agreed to this VERY RELUCTANTLY, but would appreciate it if patients who have undergone psychiatric treatment could help by allaying my fears about seeing a psychiatrist. Thank you very much in advance.

I take Zooloft (prescribed by my psychiatrist) but man I sure don't like taking meds for anything. I am a guy; is it common in males to have driving anxiety. It's really bad. My girlfriend wants to loave me after 4 years of dealing with me - I sure don't know what to do. Suggestions are much appreciated.

Has anyone actually improved their reaction time to a certain situation? Ex: Blocking a punch to the face.

Please be specific as possible.

I had body disphormic disorder so I could find out I only thought I was fat and ugly. I mean, it's really hitting me now. My hips are huge! Or thighs, or whatever they're called! I just hate my body. I want liposuction or something, and my nose is too big! Please tell me I have BDD! I just wanna wake up from the bad dream and be like, woah, my body is amazing! But I can't. This isn't a dream! I mean, I'm 13 and I'm hoping I'll grow out of it and I'll be skinnyer and everything. Will I?

I suffer from depression and I'm suicidal. I just want someone to talk to. Does anyone else have this problem? And how did you get through it? I'm not sure what to do anymore.

I am 19 and have a history of experiencing domestic violence, self harm and drug/alcohol addiction. I am now leading a safe and reasonably healthy lifestyle - 3 years clean offf drugs, i don't self harm any more and am a lot more positive than i used to be but i still feel that i have a lot of issues that i am carrying around with me.

I have 12 GCSEs and 4 NVQs, as well as being a trained hair extensionist so i have intelligence but my past

Some days, someone has to say something i take to heart or something minor goes wrong and i'm bursting into tears! I am irritable most of the time and think a lot of negative thoughts. I have feelings of sadness, guilt and anger.

I find it hard to talk to family as i don't want to worry them any more than i have done already in the past.

I am trying so hard to pull myself together but at the moment all i can seem to do is sleep, eat and smoke!!! I know that its not the answer!!

Has anyone felt the same as me before? :-) :-) :-)

I'm currently suffering from mild depression and having CBT. Sometimes, feelings of happiness and well-being that occur are then follwed by feelings of nervousness and guilt. Not guilt for any particular reason, just a nagging guilty feeling. why does this occur?

Lately, I have been making myself purge my dinner, since its the only meal I eat. I don't know how to talk to somebody to get help. I already know that I will put into an institution, I was already threatened with it when my parents found out I was cuttin myself. But I don't know who to talk to or how to get help. If I talk to a school councelor, they'll tell my parents. If I talk to my therapist, she'll tell my mom. And if I tell a friend, they'll tell their parents or the school councelor. I can't do this by myself. I'm very stressed, right now. Thanks for reading. Thanks in advance for your answers.
