Mental Health - January 2007

I have had problems with anxiety ever since I was 19(I am 24 now). I have been on all kinds of medication, and nothing works in the long run. Now I just take a Xanax from time to time when I have a panic attack. I do not have anymore medicine and am having anxiety and panic reaaaallly bad tonight. The stress from it makes me feel horrible from head to toe and makes my chest hurt from it and my stomach hurts from it too. What can I do to eleviate this anxiety/panic attack I am having tonight..with NO medication(cause I do not have any).

I have 2 sons with ADHD and am scared of all the medicine to treat it but it has gotten to the point where they are failing school and I cant let that happen. I would like some opinions of some African Americans as well as everyone else on the topic. Also anyone in the medical profession.

I still am very depressed and want to go to sleep and not wake up. I want to cry all the time and I only do things around the house that I have to. I've been struggling with this for 5 years and I am losing hope that I will get better.Please don't tell me I need my meds. adjusted. I have been on everything under the sun. I just don't have the willpower to believe things will get better.

I'm bipolar and instead of feeling sad I feel nothing. I have no emotions apart from negative ones like guilt, fear, etc. But the worse is I have no empathy. Because I have no emotions when people tell me things I have no answer becaue I can't emotionally relate to what they are talking about so I can't have a conversation. It is so lonely. i don't even feel love for my family or even my baby nephew. Also I my intelligence has gone. I frequently don't understand or grasp the simplest sentences or concepts. It's like I hear words but they don't get through to the part of my brain that interprets them into realisation. I have no concept of understanding apart from simple things. My personality, opinions, judgements and everything has gone also. Does this sound like depression to you?

Although mental illness is widespread in the west, and perhaps western society is characterized in large part by the presence of mental illness, what would you say given the assertion that said illness is largely absent from the east?

I have only taken it for less than 3 weeks and at one dose daily. There is no way I can taper off, and it's causing hives so I have to stop it now. Will I be ok? I never felt better while using since I used it for such a short time.
