Mental Health - February 2007

I havent taken my medicine in about 4 days now and I am starting today to get like these weird dizzy feelings in my head that are constantly coming and going. Is there some risk of stopping Zoloft suddenly?

My own mother sided with my ex-husband when I got divorced. She told him that she was sorry even though she told me for years to divorce him because he cheated and lied and abused me and our children.

I have also stopped all contact with other so-called "loved ones" in my life because talking with them is stressful. I do not feel sad or lonely for having done that. In fact, it's kind of a relief. My friend thinks that I need to call and make up with them - at least my mother and dad, because she thinks that I will be sad and depressed otherwise and that I'm depriving them of seeing their granddaughters. I have had no contact with my mother for the last year and with some other people for longer than that.

I know that my mom will just but into my life again if I let her. I have not told her that I have moved and am getting remarried. She does not know my fiance. I know her and she will tell him all sorts of unflattering things about me in an effort to "be honest" with him.

who hurt me and made me feel worthless? These are former friends, acquaintances, some family members, and my son's father. I'm not in contact with any of these people but I have deep emotional wounds as a result of what they did and said to me. I hate my body and myself. I feel like a loser. I am so sad and angry all the time. I am very bitter and resentful. I think of them EVERY DAY and I hate them.

This is really affecting all areas of my life. I lost some money and my job b/c I have become absent minded. I yell at my son sometimes even though he's 2. I don't go out. I'm afraid to make friends and date. I have nobody to talk to. I feel like an old woman but I'm only 25. Seriously, I think I might be losing my mind. Help!

I was diagnosed with agoraphobia over a year ago. I have tried Cognative Behavioral Therapy but that didn't work and am on anti depressants. While I have started to improve slightly, taking my daughter to school with the help of my dog, I was wondering if hypnotherapy was an option. If so, does anyone know how to go about it?

drugs have ruined my life,and i've never even tried them! never even smoked a *** - yet, i end up with the biggest stoner going for a boyfriend. don't get me wrong - i love the guy to bits, but everythings spiralling downwards now. I've been with him for over a year now, and it's getting harder and harder to cope. Admittedly, he has got so much better since the start - he used to smoke between 40 and sometimes up to 60 spliffs a day - now he's down to an absolute maximum of 4 a day. i know its hard for an addict to give something up but its wearing me down. the lies that are involved with a drug addict are unbelievable - and those few times he does smoke now - it breaks my heart every time it happens - drugs come over everything in his life - is anyone else in the same situation?? help!

and nobody knows about the misery that you feel? You feel that people cannot help you and even your family members are blind to the internal pain.

I really need help out there. My ex hus. and I share custody of our 4 yr old. I'm starting to worry that she's starting to go though what I did when I was married to him. I'll explain very briefly some of his behaviors because I'm thinking of trying to get full physical custody of her for her benefit. I'm really scared, so please help anyone if you have any advise! He is so paranoid. He hangs on minor details in discussions or words people might say to form his own sense of logic of what actually happened or what is intended..as if everyone is against him, trying to hurt him, or abuse him. The reality he is an extremely agressive individual. I was scared out of my mind of him until very recently. He had me convinced that I was the worst person in the world and that I was bad. That's the way he sees people as being bad and he has to punish them. He isn't capable of taking care of his financial needs or organize his life. Some of his behavior is absolutely suprizing in a bad way.

When somebody gets completley obsessed by another person & is indinial constantly about the reality.
I.e think there in a relationship but the other person couldn't make it clearer there not. they constantly fabricate a reality to people which they actually believe not lie about.
Sorry I hope that gives people enough info to work with.

This kid is a bisexual, 17 year old whom i care about greatly, he is one of my best friends, and is currently coping with his newest knowledge that he has HIV. He did do a couple stupid things to receive this disease, still i care about him greatly. If there is a way that i could help him, i would do it in a flash...although it is difficult when your mom has no idea that you talk to the boy, since they dont get along because of a past experiance, and one of your closest friends despises him, so what im asking is, how can i help him, what can i do to support him, and what can i do in general?

Please give me advice, i have NO idea how to do anything for him.

Please, i've never coped with anything like this before, i've dealed with suicides, eating disorders, cancer, and other disorders but not this.

Your help is VERY appreciated

Do you find that when things are going fine and okay in your life you don't have this "disorder" but then when you start worrying about an issue it's challenging to stop 'obsessing' over it? What are some ways to deal with this productively please? YOur experienced at this?
OH~and do you know if those "group meetings" they have available would be helpful for one to attend?
:-) thanks a bunch for your time answering.

I am trying to break my addiction to alcohol on my own and fear, from past experience, that I will fail. I can't go to rehab because I am raising three kids. Yes, I do know how awful that is. That's why I'm trying to get help. Are there any supplements that help with cravings and/or withdrawal? I can't go to AA because my husband says I'm just going so I can meet people and cheat on him. He believes in the whole "get over it" ideal when it comes to things like addiction and depression. I feel weak and stupid that I can't. I have continued drinking because it's easier than dealing with everything associated with "recovery" and I hate how irratable and sad I become without alcohol. It's kind of become a friend to me, dumb as that sounds. I need to be well for my kids. my pre teen recently commented on my drinking and it broke my heart. What can I do?

Other than sleep and exercise.

I'm a mom of three and a college student, and I get as much sleep as I can- it isn't enough but it's all I can get.

Exercise- any I don't get chasing kids, I don't have time or means to get.

Other than that, I'm open to suggestions.

I asked a question about self-harm yesterday.

I now think I understand the pattern as being about trying to stay in touch with reality - looking at the scars reminds me that i'm human, normal. Sometimes, I feel like i'm slipping out of the world. Like i'm a secret agent or a gangster or a superhero. I fall to the impression that I have super-human powers - that I could fight anyone who attacked me, that I could hack computers, do anything I want, that i'm something more than a 17 year old schoolgirl! At least once a week I enter a new 'phase' - i'm going to be a top fraudster, i'm going to be a policewoman, i'm going to be a nun, i'm going to be a waitress... it's mad.

I realise experimentation is normal for my age-group, career-wise etc, but does my theory have any validity? Can anyone shine a light?

I don't mean to offend anyone but.....

The people that feel they are the opposite gender than they really are and want to change their gender, are they mentally ill?

The parents that have a baby and they are not sure what gender they are and the doctors can't tell either(Can you explain that to me how that can be a possibility?? I mean everyone is born with a gender!). Are they mentally ill?
