Mental Health - January 2007

Well i been feeling very down for quite a while, my mum says i'm depressed. I been avoiding my friends everytime they call, i tell my family to say that i'm sleeping or out. I know its wrong, but i feel really antisocial and i don't know what to say- i don;t want to be all doom and groom and what do you say?

"What have you been up to?"
"NOTHING JUST SLEEPING, EATING AND SHITTING PLUS I'M MISERABLE"

i don't want to lose my friends, but they can't help me and i can't be bothered by them

I dunno what to do? Should just explain to them (i'm not good at explaining , im always misunderstood) or should just avoid them til i cant sort myself out???

Today in school, in my religion class we were having a discussion about emotions and depression and all that stuff, and one girl said she thinks that only girls have a right to be depressed because they have a harder life than men, and that men who get depressed or cry, are weak and lazy.

What do you think about that? I am 15, and I am a guy and I take medication for depression so does that make me a loser or whatever? The teacher disagreed with her and so did other kids in the class, but I want to know what other people think about it?

Does any one have a good, healthy way of dealing with extreme emotions? I have self-harmed in the past, and have made up my mind to stop. I need another outlet - preferably free and easy.

Thanks x

Ok,

My anxiety is not that bad, when I talk face to face with someone, friend or not, I can barely stare at their eyes for for more than 3 seconds.If I'm at work and someone yells a couple of feet to me and I reply, I think everyone is staring at me, which they usually are, but when that happens, my face turns red and I get hot and if kept in the situation long enouhg, I start sweating... mainly when more than 2 people start looking at me, this happens,

Im not a bad looking guy, actually alot of women like me. But when I find someone I like, and start talking to them, IMMEDIATELY i start turing red ans sweating and it ruins the whole conversation....

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH MEDS WILL HELP OR WHAT TO DO TO HELP THIS!

I have no intensions to seek for attention,I don't need any sympathy because I know I am a loser.My mum hated me when I was born becoz I wasn't a boy.I lived with my grandparents til I was 6 and I have no memories of my childhood, I don't recall seeing my parents at all.At 7, my parents went to US for a year and that's when my brother was born.My mum loved him, to the extent that my bro ask me 'do you really think mum is ur biological mother? she treats us so differently'.Whenever I show signs of affections towards her,she pushes me away and when I said I love her, she said it was inappropriate.I Loved her and try my best to get her approval,but she rejects me,time after time.My parents hit me when I was younger, using a hanger or other tools.I came to UK when I was 10, I used to ring home and cry everynight for 1 year but my mum used to tell me off for being pathetic.I constantly feel insecure and I don't know where home is?I just want someone to love me and tell me where I belong?

I had to deal with all the casualties alone being the only medically trained person, now i am having nightmares, trouble sleeping and feel tearfull most the time. I have blocked it out for so long but it's just starting to get to me, what should i do?

I know most of you would probably advice me to seek professional help, but I did. I saw my GP, saw the counsellor, even saw the crisis and resolutions team whom came to visit me everyday. I took the sleeping tablet that they gave me (which is only 1 per day) and the anxiety tablet as well. But nothing is helping at all, as the days goes by, I hate myself more and more.I can't sleep at night because I am constantly hearing noises from outside like people returning homw, their conversations, or even the rain or the wind. I am exhausted and I really don't think I have the will power to deal with this anymore. I only have 1 frd and I am sure she is better of without me coz there are loads of people around her to take care of her. My family abandoned me when I was little. I really have nothing to live for.

So please, I beg all of you out there, let me know which sleeping pills and how many of them I need, so I can die peacefully and finally escape from all the pain and sadness I suffer.

I suffer from something close to epileptic seizures, so the result is that I can't drive. So I'm decided to wait until something shows up, so I'm working at my town's DQ. Is that a good decision that I'm making or what?

I am not sure if anyone ows or ever read book called "The 100 Evil" by Martin Wolcott but its a book that has biographies of serious killers begining with their childhood and problems they experiences during ending with how many murders they commited, etc. Now my question is do people become like that with some time because their are being pushed all the time? Or its how they parents raised them? Or maybe they were born to be criminals? Or those are people with very special characters like psycopaths? What is it that goes through their mind that they become canibbals or molesting pedofiles, necrophiles? Can you just live up until 30 and then just going down slope in your life become a psyco killer? I like to read a lot on this subject and sometimes I feel like just by reading it you already doing yourself wrong and putting yourself in predictment of knowing too much?

I was taking Paxil for about three months for anxiety disorder. I have always been thin but now can't fit into my clothes. I eat very healthy too so I know it's not food. My question is since I have stopped, will the weight come off easy?

Do you need prescriptions to get sleeping pills from the pharmacy?
Which type would be most effective?
And how many would get you killed?

I need to get sleeping pills for a frd of mine whos lack of sleep is making him angry and violent. But I want to ensure that I buy the right type and the right quantity so he can't harm himself with it.
Thanks!

Especially at work and school.

How can I get them to stop?

The other day I was at a restaurant and heard this deep voice. It was asking me if I wanted a refill. It's getting worse everyday.

:(

I told her about the mood swings and SI and things told her about the panic attacks. Got worse since i came off pills. Then in my notes she found a letter from a doctor I saw in july 06 being with a P but things have changed since then nothing to same. It said something along the lines. " Low moods. unable to to detect a severe mental illness tends to act on impuse" she said that I had been on a lot of pills (3) from the dif groups. And that she sent me to see the other doctors and things and they didn't come up with nothing and all she really do is give me these **** again. Thay don't know what to do with me I get passed around and they come back with nothing.
So she put me back on Mirtazapine, or Remeron® in the US. What is the same one I was on when we were on hoilday I just coming off them then back in september 06. She only gave me 14, 15mg tables so I have to go back and see her again in to weeks. She says I need to stay on the for 6 mouths to see if they work. coz last time I was only on them for 8 weeks.
Tried my best I could not tell her that most of the time I want to die. coz then she wouldn't give me any pills at all. And all I get is the same pills I was on last and come off coz they didn't do ****. I'm going to take them just so I say I taken them. So all in all waste of time. Maybe I am just ment to me like this maybe meds and counselling are not meant to work. Maybe I was just born to be this way what is nealy the same as she told me today. Maybe no one can help me. I'm sorry i just don't know what to do.
