Mental Health - February 2007

I'm on antidepressants and have been for over 2 years now, my psychiatrist thinks I'm in remission from my depression at the minute, but right now at this precise moment in time I feel awful. I don't know why, it seems to have come from nowhere - I've been having quite a few days like this recently, where I feel like I'm going to burst into tears but I don't know why.

I just seem to get this overwhelming feeling of hopelessness, and I start having stupid thoughts again, but nothing seems to trigger it - it just comes out of the blue. And sometimes by the next day I'll feel fine again, other times it'll be a couple of days. I just don't know what to do when I get like this. I'm supposed to be better now, but right now all I want to do is curl up in bed and cry, and try not to think about the paracetamol or blades I have in my top drawer.........

It is not available here in the US, but I'd still like to try it. I haven't had any luck with the stuff that is available here. Is it hard to get meds from the internet/overseas? Thanks

I have been feeling empty for a long time. It comes from many things. It also runs in my family and I would like to explore Prozac or some medication. I would like to do this without any family. I'm not suicidal or want to hurt myself I just can't find a positive motivation to do anything. I would just like to enjoy things again. It's a very sad feeling.

Since a couple of weeks ago, I've noticed that I've been getting those shocks where you get dizzy after standing up fast, but I've been getting them very recently, sometimes around even twice a day; in addition to the fact that Im forgetting so much stuff it's not even funny, I'm forgetting names, things people told me (or who told me and when, most precisely), im forgetting last names, important data. What should I do? Should I eat anything special?
thanks

I am currently on anti-depressants for my issues. I was just wondering if I was bipolar or not. I have drastic mood swings & lately it seems like my only emotions are anger & saddness. I feel like I can flip out at the drop of a hat. If this is being bipolar, what are the best meds. to treat the condition? I am currently taking Fluoxetine, which is generic for Prozac & see little difference. I have also tried Zoloft & that did not help at all. Any advice please!

I keep waking up in the middle of the night worrying about silly stuff. I even woke up once worried that not enough people recycle! Last night I kept thinking about my house burning down with my family in it. I know I need help but I'm scared of taking medications. I've been seeing a psychologist but it's not really working.

hi
I'm 15 year-old girl , always thinkin of death. I'm all day long anxious and scared. Today while I was in the bus I was thinking if I get a heart attack and I die in front of people (even though I'm healthy) so I wanted to throw up.I got off the bus then after a while I felt dizziness and that made me feel more anxious and scared. After all that I started having annoying feelings and moods and that made me more and more anxious. Moreover I always jump to the worst conclusion which is I'm dying. Do I have anxiety disorder or what? I hope your answers can help me.

I constantly feel left out and when I try to include myself or find out what happened I usually get nevermind or nothing as a response.

A friend of mine has recently become very depressed. I really want to help him but he just won't open up. He is dating one of my best friends and although she clearly does, he keeps saying she doesn't love him. He won't talk to his girlfriend about any of the things he his feeling so I was hoping that there was maybe a way I could get him to open up to me. Last week whilst talking to him over the internet he told me he was about to slit his wrists. He came to school the next day wearing four wristbands, so obviously I couldn't see if there were any marks. He has been known for being over dramatic so I don't know if he actually did it, but I know its only a matter of time before something does happen.

Why would i be having dreams about my grandmas house, my grandpa pasted away about 2 years ago, and i dream that im like her house and last night i was in the basement and there was my grandpa's coffin where i used to play with my cousins as a younger kid. Also what was really weird was that there was my old dog Karina, who also died, stuffed and my grandpa also had collies like Karina was. Over the past 2 years or so i have had many dreams about my pasted away grandpa and that i was at his house. I usually feel okward in these dreams, like an emotion i cant even explain. Any ideas on why i keep having these types of dreams?

I seem to be having a lot of dreams that play out like films and I remember a lot of them the next day. They tend to stay with me all day, it's almost like they were real. I'm not on any weird illegal drugs I'm only on venlafaxine 75mg. Some of them are quite horrible and disturbing but they don't wake me up at the time. Is anyone else experiencing things like this?

I also read a story of a medical study in great Britian that researched long term use of opiates and found that in moderate doses and administered hygenically the users had no more health problems than the general population of non users. Any Comments?

Why is it that some people have such viscous and disturbing thoughts when they were not even trying to think about it?
I'd rather not give an example cause I don't want to get kicked off of here.

I am tired of all of this crap called life. I no longer have family around and I am alone. I have never really had any friends, and I mean never. I was always wandering around alone as a kid. My father is in prison and my mother is a drug addict. My brothers don't talk to me because I want nothing to do with our parents. My wife is never around. She is a work-a-holic. Probably to get away from me. I don't know what to do anymore. The only thing that comes to mind is to take a bunch of my tranquilizers and go to sleep for good. The good thing for me is that I haven't done it yet. I have already been held against my will in a mental hospital twice. I went in for help and basically they will keep you there as a prisoner until you tell them you are no longer thinking of killing yourself. The people in there scare me. You don't get any privacy and you share a room. Lucky for me I get the most disturbed people to share a room with me. HELP ME!!!!!
