Mental Health - January 2007

About 5 years ago, I went through a very rough patch in my life. People to whom I was very close & loyal did some things that were, in my eyes, betrayal. Later they realized how it looked from my side & stopped. It hurt badly nearly daily for a few years, but I mostly pushed it out of my mind. Now, out of seemingly nowhere, every rare once in a while I will have some bizzare, vivid dream that leaves me agitated for half the day. Something must be unfinished in my mind. What should I do to put this to rest?

Hi,

Recently told I have depression / anxiety. Was prescribed Fluoxetine which is an SSRI drug. Decided to first try a herbal option St johns Wort but I find a side effect of this is a dry mouth in the morning. I've one been taking it for a few days so haven't experienced the benefits yet. Would these side effects pass?

Also I have some SAM-e which I have yet to try, anyone have experience of this stuff?

Those are the words my former husband spouted off to me when I confronted him about lying to the children when they confront him about the things he does. I told him that anytime the children have ever come to me with questions about my past that I did not deliberately lie or talk about someone else's past faults to make myself look better. I told him that I acknowledge what they have to say and answer the best way I can even if it means I'm in the hot seat. Why does he spout that I think I'm better than everyone else? I've never thought that in my life. I do try to live my life right and learn from my mistakes. I'm not perfect but what I am is forgiven.

When I see something frightening on TV even my daughtere`s cartoons I have bad dreams about them at night, my husband says it`s because you`re so timid, he works away from us and we(my daughter and I) stay with his parents and sleep in their house but I`m not comfortable when we sleep there I prefer to sleep at my own house but I don`t know what to do with my fear.

ive never been to a doctor about it, but i know thats what im experiencing. Depression runs in my family (or the pre-disposition anyway). There's no real clear reason why i feel this way. unfortunately, always feeling unhappy leads me to be very irritable and short with people. Its not fair to them or me. I am a very strong willed person, and although i have been known to buy supplements for my lifting, i feel weak for taking medication. Is this wrong? I know science is hear to help, but i dont want to rely on some pill for my happiness. The nights where i just feel weak and vulnerable are becoming more frequent. I get so upset and irritable and unhappy, that it seems the only way to feel good is to just lay on my bed and cry into my pillow. I hate it. I just want to know if theres anything anyone has to done to cope with this without an anti-depressant. All answers are appreciated. Thank you.

i have no hobbies, no friends, i dont play a sport, i'm not particularly good at anything. i'm just that quiet kid who doesn't talk to anyone and who everything things must be really smart except i'm not, and i'm not even getting good grades anymore. i mean, whenever i have free time i can't think of anything to do, except watch tv and if there's nothing good on tv then i'm stuck.

Therapy is not helping, and neither is anger management. I get maddder and madder every day. Even at the smallest things, like if the lead on a pencil breaks, or if I run into a red light. I even get angry at people for stuff they did nothing of. DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOOD. YOU PEOPLE KEEP SAYING GO TO THE DOCTOR. HELLO?!! NOT EVEN MEDICINE WILL HELP. NOT EVEN BREATHING IN AND OUT OR TAKING YOGA OR SWIMMING! NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING! I JUST WANT TO DIE! TELL ME HOW TO KILL MYSELF WITHOUT GOING TO HELL. I CAN'T JUST STAND OUT ON THE ROAD! I WOULD RATHER KILL SOMEONE THAN KILL MYSELF AND GO TO HELL. I WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN BUT THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF I AM LIKE THIS! WHAT NOW! WHAT NOW! WHWHWHWHWHWHWH NOW!!!!!????????????????????? ANSWER OR YOU'LL DIE TOO! DON'T YOU SAY GO TO THE DOCTOR! AND DON'T YOU REPORT ME OR I'LL HAUNT YOU FOR THAT DAY ON.

Just completely weaned of antidepressants after 10 years of being conistently on them. My doc and I have already discussed things that might happen during the withdrawal process. But I'm just curious about how anyone else who may have gone through this, reacted to it (both physically and mentally) Any input would be very greatly appreciated : )
