Mental Health - January 2007

I'm a girl, 19 about to turn twenty in a couple months. I'm going to school for a BA in Psych and a minor in Anthro. I'm an only child and still living with my parents who are paying for my education. I've never been on a date or kissed anyone and still a virgin. Very antisocial. Working at a minimum wage job.

When every I think about the future and what is going to happen after collage I start to shake and sweat I'm so terrified. Sometimes it gets so bad that I stay awake all night worring about the future. Taxes, bills, mortgage, a job! I look for a better paying job but every one wants management with prior experience, which I have non of. I still have no clue what I want to do with the rest of my life,

Can anyone offer any advice or tell me what wrong with me?

I went in to wait for him to get done a pace maker/defibrulator operation. One they said they had never lost someone from. When I went to see when he would be out they asked me to find my husband and told me he did not make it. I do beleive he was not healthy and it was his time but it is still so hard and I want to grieve healthy. How do I do this properly and do it healthy for my kids as well?

Everytime I get here, I get hungry. Is there some strange psychological diagnosis you have for me? Let this one be fun.

I come from a background of divorce, blended family, where thoughts and opinions weren't shared, and workaholic families. When I went to college I balanced often two or three jobs and even added buying a house and getting married to the load. After college I had two jobs then the following year I added another job. The year after that I went down to two jobs and now for the last eight months I've had one job. I found I had a lot of time on my hands, constant worries, and periods of hyperactivity. I finally went to the doctor three months ago with physical concerns and was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, within the last month Obsessive Compulsive Disorder was also diagnosed. I just don't understand how so much stress and pain can come down on me and cause physical problems when in actuality the things never had me involved. The psychology of the human mind is like a jigsaw finding and putting together its pieces.

I have meditated before but I need more depth over a sustained period of time.

I'm seeing a psychologist for stress and resulting depression, and he is very supportive of a meditation retreat. He recommends 3-5 days, not the 10 day vipasanna type right now.

This would also be best located in the New York-New England area.

Thanks.

I have always been the pretty/quiet girl and odd as it sounds people focus on me yet ignore me at the same time. Its like they like me because im pretty but think im too quiet as a person. Whenever I get dressed I may think I look pretty but I can't confirm it until someone else tells me I look pretty (specifically a man). I guys dont talk to me on a day When I feel good about myself then I instantly think its because im too fat/ or not pretty enough. Please how can I feel good about me no matter what anyone says. I want to feel good and be satisfied with who I am. I dont know how

Okay, so recently, i've been really cautious around the house. i have this fear that someone will try to kill me in some bizarre way. like in the horror movies. but its only when im in my own home.

i would also like to know if this is some type of phase or something, and if it will go away because i've never been like this before.

I've lost contact with reality Im 19 years old now and it first happend when I was 14. I felt a gust of wind and some kind of electric shock through my body and from that day on I knew somthing was wrong I cant feel I dont have emotions I cant gap out or zone in on things my mind is constantly going 24/7 My brain is even fixated on how im walking somtimes. Then when I smoke weed all of this goes away but I become a 100% diffrent person my actions/reactions change. I guess they dont change they just appear! And I can feel. I dont wanna live like this anymore why should I have to?. I think I just suffer from repression ive had a messed up childhood really bad actully. and stepfather was no help. anyways I went to get help from a pychatris I did an intake session and they say I dont need a pyschatris or pyscholigist or whatever. sorry about the typing I just wanna get this out.

I seem to be my own worst enemy. There are things I needs to do or that I want to do that are even fun, but I seem to have a demon inside of me that comes out in the form of resistance or fear. How do you deal with these feelings so you can get down to bussiness.

I have tried every medication for depression over the past 20 years and nothing has worked. Currently I am on 7 medications to try and help me. They include Paxil, Welbutrin, Lamictal, Straterra, Provigal, Suboxone and Trazadone. I dont know anything else to do and I feel helpless.

Sometimes, i hear 'conversations' in my head before i sleep. its not what i would describe as hearing voices, just a ringing noise of people talking (i dont really register/remember any words from the conversations). Im not mad, but i do have an active and restless mind. i dont see where these convos come into play. Weird but i wouldnt change it for the world lol

Okay the past couple of weeks, i'll come home from class around 3:30.. and be in a good mood all day.. until around 7:30 -8:00.. i start to get really pissed off and just dont feel like talking to anyone, and i start getting bad headaches and i start to just feel like i hate everyone and everything. I just feel like bashing my head against something... it's so FRUSTRATING! I'm in one of the moods now, and I just dont know what to do with my self & I have no idea what my deal is. Usually when I take a shower, i feel pretty calmed down after that. ..


Any Idea what might be causing this?

She is 17. I knew there was something wrong when I came into her life 8 years ago but my husband thought she was going through some type of phase and would grow out of it. She would hurt little animals and said she wanted to see her father dead "like road kill". She also tried to kill another child at a skating rink. I was told she would bite herself until she bled from the time she was a toddler. I never knew a child quite like her. I raised three of my own but I could usually talk to them and they would feel ashamed of what they did if they hurt others. This did not work with her. She does not feel shame or remorse and this approach was no use. She usually tells her father what she thinks she wants him to hear to get on his good side. She admitted she enjoys manipulating others and does not like it if I try to discipline her. She is living with us now because her mother is on drugs and cannot care for her. Someone that knows something about this disorder please give us some advice?
