Mental Health - January 2007

that make me break out in a sweat..my heart starts racing..my arms go numb...i start hyperventilating...and all of this comes out of of nowhere...Sometimes I think I get so worried that my depression will never go away that I start to panic..My doctor put me on Cymbalta three weeks ago..but it made me so naseous I practically could not eat. Now, he is taking me off of it..and has decided that I need Yoga and Meditation and stuff like that. I am totally open to that..but I need real help, I feel like emergency help, right now, to stop the panic and the horrible feeling of hopelessness. He won't give me anything so I am going to see a psychiatrist this afternoon. Do you think this is helpful? I am terrified right now...Thanks...

Methadone is a prescribed medication for harm reduction and becomes it's own addiction with a greater emphasis on the physical withdrawal aspect and psychological will be involved with the facing the pain faction but once a person is clean of drugs and alcohol there must be medical assistance to withdraw from methadone. The current methodology is for the person to withdraw by a process of taper and without any additional medical assistance i.e. medication for the agitation that (with all I am sure it is different) occurs. There are no clinics set-up for withdrawal assistance both psychologically and physically but lots of clinics to prescribe methadone. Is there no money for the medical profession in assisting an addict to withdraw?

I have plenty of black spots --tiny mustard like things. on my face I saw a skin doctor and he suggested that I can remove them --the doctor would do it of course. some people say it is extremely painful and i am scared.. has someone done this and how painful was it?

One guy was academically very sharp in high school. When he entered University, he started masturbating and his grades started going down terribly. The guys he use to beat in high school are now on top of him in every test or exam he writes. When asked if there was something he does that he never did before when he was in high school by his best friend he said that it was masturbation. He said that he only started doing that when he entered the University.

I think my mother has some mental illness but until she doesn't visit a doctor, she will proceed with verbally harassing others. She gets very mad if you even "think of mentioning" a psychiatrist. I'm 31 but I'm afraid of what she will say next. Her words are almost deeds, since they are poisonous and hurting.

Lately things haven't been going very well. I usually keep things to myself, in myself, waiting until it all expands and I end up breaking down for a day or two. But now that I moved to a different country, far away from my family and friends it happens more often than I like. My husband is a calm person, and he always tries to de-stress me, but how can I de-stress when an immigration official announces that they have never gotten my papers even though I have received confirmation from them that they did? Or that my husband's great job (the reason for which I moved here) is falling apart because of the incompetence of his boss? And tons of other things that just fry my nerves like over-fried bacon for a disgusting breakfast. I really want to calm down, but my usual methods don't work anymore. So may be you can give me some advice?

although he tells me he doesnt know how he feels anymore and that everything is a huge mess in his head right now.i feel extremely bad to just pack my stuff and go back to my country. it would feel like a failure, like i am abandoning him when he is fragile. he is not giving me anything in terms of the affection i need, he says he only has energy to deal with his mind right now. and still, i feel so bad at the sight of recognising that my moving in w him was a mistake.

Normally I sleep really deep, and you can't wake me. Usually I'm out cold until I want to wake up.
Recently I went through a bout of anxiety and jerking awake due to panic attacks at sleep. I was given ativan and took that or ambien for a few days to sleep. The first few days I slept ok, but still had constant health anxiety, and worry during the day. Over the next week or so I was still able to sleep, some days even without the sleep aid. Regardless, When I sleep it's very light and I have been waking up every few hours. If I do anything, get up to go to the bathroom, talk to someone, etc. I can't fall asleep again. It's like that feeling of dozing off right before falling asleep has disappeared. I will just lay there and not sleep, no panic, no jerking awake, some anxiety, and just cant fall back asleep.

I can't seem to get any more than 7 hours of very light sleep any more, some nights only 5.

i was given lexapro, havent started it yet. I'm worried my deep sleep wont return.

after a long distance relationship that lasted for 3 years, me and boyfriend, we are both 32, decided to live together and give our love a real try. well, i left my job, my country in south america and moved to germany to invest in the relationship. he said i was the woman of his life and that he wanted us to be together.
well, i came. i have here for 6 months now and those were the hardest times of my life. i already knew he had been taking anti depressants for 8 years, but i had never lived with him. when i arrived, he decided to start therapy 4 times a week. he says he needs to fight his monsters now.
the problem is that i feel totally alienated in this relationship. everything that i say is seen by him as an insult, or an attack. he tells me i think he is a monster, which i have never thought to be true. hes sex drive is pretty low, he doesnt touch, hug or kiss me as much as i need. i feel there is no space for me in his life. i am very lost and hurt. i dont know what to do.
