Mental Health - January 2007

I have become severely Agarophobic due to some bad experiences with headaches and anxiety attacks in college, and in the middle of a street.

Since meds dont "cure" anxiety problems, and dont help me personally, I started looking for other ways out.
I heared that NLP can "cure/stop" Agarophobia, but NLP sessions cost way too much for me to be able to afford anytime soon. Can one "learn" NLP and help himself from books/websites? If yes, please recommend some.

ok get rid or contain your fear...let me elaborate. i have hyperchondria and needle phobia. any little thing i feel like my eye may be hurting i freak out and think that i'm going to go blind, i cant go to the doctors cause i'm petrified of needles...now last year i was mentally a mess with all my fears, BUT for the rest of last semester until now i've been ok, i've been keeping it in check. my question is how can i still keep it in check cause i think i might go back to being petrified ok, like it might get the best of me again. i need to keep control over it so it doesnt control me anymore....i need advice, please give me HONEST and SINCERE ones. thank you.

Does anyone know of a reputable online resource where I can find out about whether or not certain drugs interact with each other to cause changes in mental status? The drugs are for various conditions (HIV meds, pain meds, a bunch of other stuff) It's for my friend, and he's on a LOT of different meds, so a site that's highly interactive would be appreciated. THANK YOU to all.....

I get alot of people making fun of me and talking behind my back because I have autism. People are really mean at my school in Kitchener, and I have really got angry at them. I have tried numerous attempts to prevent this from happening, but I always get stuck in a situation. Do you think this should continue. If not, tell me how this could be prevented?

I have recently gained so much weight and I can't seem to get it off. I watch what I eat and I exercise everyday. It makes me want to go of of the medication because now I am so depressed about my weight, I mainly take it for panic disorder not depression. Is there similar drug that can work as well that doesn't make you put on weight.

i posted another question before this but i don't think people really got the idea of what i meant. so im gonna restate everything over again.

im a 14 year old girl, and i go to high school where drama lives. i don't like starting problems or being involved in them but somehow i always end up in those situations. most of my problems aren't caused by me. i usually avoid startign problems with people unless it serious. however, people always try to start problems with me. sometimes i walk away form these people but sometimes they pick fights with me and i have no choice but to defend myself. but the problem is that i'm not a strong person physically OR mentally. i get scared very easily and i'm not good at fighting. is there any way i could help myself to be PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY stronger??

My attention span is weakening, and i can watch my grades slowly decline. I had a bad streak where i used to live with abuse and neglect, which eventually led to drugs, and i used to cut myself. now I'm a 4.0 student, but like I said before, my grades are slowly lowering, and I get these wierd thoughts in my head that are like, sadistic, and evil. they haven't come up as often but i still get them. like "what would happen if I stabbed this person?" and I almost feel like doing it, and I think about how bad it would be, and about how it would change my life forever, then I feel like i want to kill myself instead. I've shrugged it off for awhile, but iIfigured I'd ask around a little. Is there something wrong with me?

negative:
i only go out on one night stands, i have no problem picking up hookers, i love getting drunk, i like to pop the occasional painkillers, downers, cocaine and marijuana (but i never do these drugs frequenlty enough to biuld an addiction). i tend to go for girls who have no respect for themselves. i party constantly, im a bartender. i love to go to vegas and gamble like crazy.

positive:
im very deep, very into philosophy, spiritual but very from from religious, friendly, loyal, funny, every woman i have had a real relationship with i have remaind loving caring and faithful and treat her with respect and like a queen. i see the world for what it realy is and dont exist in denial or delusion.

but what do you think of me? what kind of person am i?? am i messed up?

sorry guys for the idiotic question! but i'am really worried about this thing about our brain. think for example, your nerves or whichever part of your body is being cut, do u think if we consantly visualise or feel that way then it would do any harm to that part? did u ever get such thoughts? i think it's a sort of neurosis that i'am undergoing cos i'am constantly being reminded of it, what do u think?

Ok, this may sound really gross but I have this HORRIBLE habit of chewing my nails. It used to be just nibbling them, but now I'm chewing them until they hurt and bleed. I started when I was 7, and I haven't been able to stop no matter what. Nothing is helping. Not keeping my hands busy, not that gross stuff you put on them, nothing! Please help!!!

Doctors and medicines really freak me out because I have been on so many medications it's not even right. But I deal with sadness/depression/mood changes and I'm a Christian and I don't want to be this way but it hurts so bad to have to live with this disease(s). :( :~( How long does it take going through a great mental illness or a great sadness? I hope to outgrow this SOON and everything will work out for the best. :)
