Mental Health - February 2007

I feel like that some days life is just to hard for me and I wish that I was so much stronger. I have to be strong for everyone around me and for myself. I would just like to know what to do when it feels like it is too much to handle.

I was prescribed Xanax but I am a coffee drinker. I drink a large cup of coffee a day. Will it be ok to continue drinking coffee or, because I am on Xanax, will i have to stop? Is it dangerous to mix xanax with coffee? Any info would be appreciated

So I mentioned about my fear of having a serious illness and checking my body over and over despite MDs telling me I'm fine and extensive blood work. So this could be the same condition that causes me to say "Ok Greg, if you don't pick the phone up off of the table before the oven timer goes off in 3 seconds, then you are not going to get the job you applied for!" ? These seem polar opposite. How can they be related?

I lie. All the time. Even when I don't need to. I lie about what I have for dinner. I lie to my own husband, and then I slap myself, and tell him the truth. He tells me I'm a pathological liar, fine.. whatever, but I don't want to lie anymore. I lied through my entire life, literally. I used to make up the stupidest stories through all of my childhood years. I never had any close friends because Id' lie. What do I do? What can I do?

Does anyone know good ways to get quality shut eye? The problem is not that I do not sleep. I sleep and stay asleep and I get at least 8 hours. The problem is my dreams, I always have several different dreams and they are chaotic and stressful, so when I wake up I hardly feels like I slept. It was so bad last night I woke up with a headache. Is there any way to rid of dreaming (at least a little) so I can feel rested?

Ok, im pretty worried cos my sister wrote all over the wall (in her own code/language). now most of her room is covered in these curly symbols she likes. none of us can read it (though we have tried to) which she is perfectly aware of

should we be worried? they vary from what appear to be short phrases to several sentences. she can read them back easily though.
is it a symptom?

thanks

If want to know about me read some of my other questions. I usually a hard worker and goal oriented. Now I don't give a crap about anything. I don't feel bad about how I treat people or my education. It's not like me at all, but what can I do? I use to ahead of the class and very nice. Apathetic. A few human beings interest me. Most people are atificial. I need discipline maybe?

I know someone once said picture a dark room with a candle in the middle, and that kindof worked for me a few years ago, but now I am having trouble getting my mind focused in the beginning. Some new ideas might help.

Is it true that if I remember my dreams then I didnt had a good night sleep. I`m worried because I know that if you have sleeping disorders it can affect your health.

I have always had very skinny weak legs. Recently I have been squatting a lot and my legs are gaining strength. I feel more confident, in control and powerful. That made me think about how our muscles relate to our feelings and our mental states. Any validity to my theory?

The dieting habits of young girls is contributing to the rise in mental health issues and what seems like a national trend lately in the need for Psychiatrists and use of psych medications?

We don't promote or advertise health in this country, we vacillate between gluttony and complete and total deprivation and denial.

Girls... Drink water, Take vitamins, get exersize and sleep and if you still need medication... It's probably your medication that is making you nuts! It is getting out of control and it seems to me that people would rather live unhealthy lifestyles and take meds than become healthy without them?

Anyone agree or disagree and why?

When I was younger I would get obsessed over a lot of things, mostly about death and I can't shake it. It had seemed as though everything was fine for the past 8-9 years other than thinking a LOT about bad events and worrying about them. Everytime I think about one, I go online, which I enjoy and it takes my mind away from it for a couple of minutes. For the past month I can not stop the feeling that I have a particular serious disease. I have had blood work done and everything is fine but I keep having night sweats (a symptom) and I'm losing weight (another symptom)...but I'm not eating and its hot in my apartment. I keep looking at my skin for changes constantly. I don't know what is going on...I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong... I have had many opinions. They all say I'm healthy. What is this? I don't do this frequently, so it's not like I'm a hypochondriac. For the past month though I don't worry about death, just disease...a plus! Anyone else have this?

I refuse meds as i don't really want to get better anymore - getting better would mean living my life. I don't want to. Is this a symptom of depression? I have been told that it shows how deeply i am depressed - is that true? thanks.

I'm in my 2nd semester at college and i try my hardest to stay on top of my game but im beggining to lose it and my grades are slipping from A's to down the tubes. I spend a ton of time studying memorizing learning but i can't figure out y I am doing so horrible. I know I got a lot on my mind relitives have passed away a week ago, and my bf is here to help but even he is so fustrated that when i take an exam that I spent weeks preparing for it leaks and the stuff is like new to me. It seems the only class im doing well in is my law class and my argumentive rehtoric class. I cant say I really enjoy my major anymore but my parents will kil me if they see my grades like this and Id hate to think what theyll do to me if I change my major. What do I do?

I have an extreme case of hormone imbalance, I have hair on my face back,and breast. I used to be very attractive, I was voted most attractive in high skool,Now,I gained 60-75 pounds in 3 years,& I'm very hairy. i don't take the time to invest in my looks because I feel what does it matter, I have a beard I can only wear t-shirts 2 my neck (chest hair) I no longer care about what I dress like. When we get in public, for an example we were in a crowded elevator, and my aunt said, 'Oh lord, u look so nasty today. Fix ur hair!" and my younger sister said 'Fat and Nasty" The ppl in the elevator just giggle, I said nothing. I practice daily grooming habits, I bath twice a day, but I don't see the need in dressing nice (t-shirts and sweats) or doing my hair (ponytails)
If u would have seen me when i was 13-17 I was gorgeous. I've gained so much weight and I have polycystic ovaries, so Ive got tons of hair everywhere and I've lost my hourglass figure. How can I make myself love myself again?

My friend is experiencing stroke like symptoms,slurred speach, impaired motor skills, dizziness, headache, and clicking sounds. She has been on effexor for several years. there was some confusion at the pharmacy re. her refills. she went 5 days without the medication. Sunday am she began experiencing the above symptoms. By pm she was having problems walking and speach was so slured she was almost unable to communicate. The physicians put her back on effexor monday and today tuseday she can walk better and her speach is a little better. She has had a MRI and a CAT scan they have ruled out stroke. Do you think the physicians are on the correct path? Do you have any suggetions?Have you heard of this in the past? What is the prognosis?

Is there a street drug during 1964-1965 that would have had similar chemical components ? Have any who are prescribed seroquel had issues with their legs or heart ?

To me this is a suicide drug in the wrong hands, and in a mother's home, a child protection issue. I have heard Seroquel is being taken to court. Does anyone have an internet link to this court issue ? I invite your comments.
