Mental Health - February 2007

I just posted a few minutes ago, about my kitten passing away. Also, 2 days ago, a close friend of the family died at 34 of a sudden heart attack. I am having a REALLY hard time dealing with all of this. i can not eat. i threw up today, something i have not done in years. i can not stop crying, even when i try. is this an anxiety attack? or am i just having a hard time coping. i am only 20 years old. i feel as if i will go crazy sitting in this house alone dealing with everything.

Has anyone noticed a difference in their behaviors by taking medications. I am currently on Adderall Xr in the morning and regular Adderall in the afternoon. I have noticed a difference, but just wanted to hear from others if they have noticed a difference or experienced no results. Thank you for your help

What is the dosage for the Purple pill / I can't read it, is it $150mg peer tablet or just one 300mg?
I take this for mood, depression, etc.
I think I may have taken too much.

I was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas as to how I can try and stop this one routine in particular.

In my math class, when doing problems i have to do the problem at LEAST 4 or 5 times. and even if i know its right i feel like i NEED to check it again. And if i try not to do it, ill go back to it at the end of my quiz to do it like 3 more times. its starting to become a hassal. Today i took a quiz and i had to stay late because it took me so long just to finish it.

And i DO take medication so i would appreciate it if you dont tell me to go get medication, im just looking for other people with OCD to maybe give me some advice. Thanks alot!

My son was hopitalized for major depression for 3 weeks.My son has been out of the hospital for 2 weeks and so far he is doing well.He see's a therapist 2x weekly and see's his school couselor weekly.The meds are working fine.The problem is my mother.She makes him cry and feel guilty when he speakes to her.She brings up things from "Her" past that don't concern him.She does'nt understand how that affects him. He is very protective of her but, can't see how it keeping him from moving forward.She now lives in texas and we live in illinois.One of the main issues my son has is to have a better relationship with his stepfather.We have been going to family therapy weekly even while he was in the hospital and made some significant progress but, as soon as she talks to him we take a step back.I don't mind severing my ties with my mother in order to keep my son from killing himself.How do I make her understand?

I seriously go through anguish over every decision... the big ones, like where to move (I've been trying to move for 2 years now, but keep hesitating and then not doing it)... and sometimes even really small/stupid ones, like which color of tweezers to buy. It's so ridiculous. And not only that, once I make decisions (either immediately afterward, or a day later, or whenever), I nearly always regret them and wonder the "What if" i had gone the other way, etc. I've wasted so much time, energy, and anxiety wishing I'd done various things differently, and it's really taking its toll on my life.

1. *What* could've made me this way, and
2. *How* can I stop?
I just want to be able to make decisions like a normal person: to decide easily, and to accept the outcome without feeling terrible, or with endless 2nd-guessing and ruminating every single time!

Lately I've had very irregular sleep pattern, i.e. one night I might go to bed at 11 PM and wake up at 8 AM (which is normal) and other ties I might go to bed at 4-5-6 even 7! AM and of course sleep till afternoon. I also tend to sleep too much (I feel best after 9-10 hours of sleep, which is really too much for a grown up) Can it be like an 'inborn' characteristic or I should try to sleep less and wake up even if I don't feel like I've had enough?

Any comments?

Tnx!

Since my mid-teens I've suffered from several lengthy periods of depression (twice cumulating in suicide attempts) interspersed with shorter (usually a few weeks to a couple of months) of really over the top behaviour (particularly sexual). I've been diagnosed and treated for depression in the past, but recently I've been reading about bipolar disorder and started to wonder. I'm aware that bipolar is a "trendy" self-diagnosis these days, and it's seen as somehow much more romantic than just being plain difficult - I can't help feeling like maybe I'm subconciously jumping on the bandwagon and really I just need to pull myself together and stop being such a drama queen. I worry if I go see a doctor they'll tell me to just grow up. How do you tell the difference between a mental disorder and normal mood swings? How should I decide whether it's worth seeking help or not?
