Mental Health - January 2007

I feel tired all the time, I don't have motivation to do anything. I'm falling behind in college and I feel lonelier than ever. I've always been socially isolated. But I know I'm unhappy because I don't have anyone to talk to and no female contacts for emotional company. Is it just that or am I clinically depressed?

On my way to the kitchen, my plan was to get a bowl of goldfish crackers with a glass of apple juice.

I poured a bowl of goldfish crackers; meanwhile, I was thinking about Usher eating cereal.

I went to the refridgerator to get a jug of apple juice.

And then . . . I accidently poured apple juice into the bowl of crackers! It suddenly hit me: this isn't right.

I reported it to my mom, and she threw a, "Are you on drugs?" at me.

Well, what do you think? I'd thought I should share since it's very abnormal.

I wasn't able to see my shrink this week, and I can't figure out if something that I do is normal or not. I have to live a completely different life in my head while I'm going through my day. I would liken it to hearing voices in my head and daydreaming at the same time, yet it's definitely not one of the two. This has been going on since I was little (about 4 or 5), and is sort of like an ongoing story. I can't control if it happens, but I can control everyone and what goes on. In the world in my head, I know those people exist, but they don't know that I do. I don't exist in that world, I'm someone else.

It's never really been a problem for me, the only time it interferes with my life is when I'm trying to get to sleep and I can't because I have to "finish something up" in my mind. It never messes with my social life, it just has to go on at the same time, so I'm doing two things at once. To tell the truth, I sort of enjoy it and can't imagine my life without it.

I have only taken it for less than 3 weeks at 150 mg once a day. It never did help my depression and yesterday and today it made me severely itchy and my doctor said to discontinue use. Will I have withdrawal symptoms? Or is that unlikely due to my short time of use?

I need anti-depressants, but I cannot afford them and I am currently on cymbalta samples, how can I get the meds I need if I can't afford to buy them. Dr. gives me samples but he can't keep doing that, and the cymbalta really works well. Wal-mart has the $4.00 perscriptions but my cymbalta isn't one of them. HELP!!!!

when she's up, she constantly talks about how perfect she is in every way. when she's down, she constantly fishes for complements and tries to get me to tell her how it's everyone else's fault that she's feeling this way. she was recently hospitalized for attempted suicide, and i certainly do not want to send her back down that road. she's a really good person, but sometimes she just drives me nuts. she has a therapist (actually, i think it's just a counselor who does not specialize in bi-polar disease), and she does take medication.

Does it involve neurotransmitters? What's going on in the brain biologically that makes people recover from depression by using psychotherapy?

My wife and I have been married 6 years. we have a 4 year old child together. We have split up once before in the past for 3 months and now she says she is leaving again. Everything seem to be fine ,she is doing good on her job.we have been getting along well. So I thought. She goes thru mood swings One day she loves me the next she wants to run away. I Love her, but when she gets in one of these modes there is no talking to her. she's right and thats it. I know she will want to come back eventually, but how much heartache can I take . I feel if we did get back together its only a matter of time before she wants to run away again. and its really starting to effect me. I really care about her , but i'm at my wits end and its becoming too much for me to take. I need some sound advice on this. what should I do?

He has tried to commit suicide once because he believes his family is at risk because they do not pray all day every day and don't go to church seven days a week. He says they do not love him and he is extremely depressed. They are in counseling now, but nothing seems to help. His family does go to church on a regular basis, but they do not do the same things that he does (praying all the time, etc). They are desperate for help, they do not want him to try and committ suicide again. Any advice would be helpful.
