Mental Health - February 2007

Is there a disorder where a guy is only attracted to beautiful women? If so, are the Donald and Mr. Hefner afflicted by it? And what if an ordinary man were afflicted with the disorder, without the ability to date such "high caliber" women? What sort of problems might this lead to?

i'm currently in a university (have been for a few years now), but this semester, i have found it really hard to sleep. i'm just not sleeping at night, and during the days sometimes i'll get pretty sleepy. i think i've only had 1 or 2 good nights of rest. i'm taking the same amount of credits that i took last sem, so it's not like i'm used to be underworked or overworked. but i just haven't been as motivated either. what may be causing this, and what can i do to get better sleep, other than taking sleeping pills?

I'm always been a worrier since I was a little kid & I will see something on tv or read about it [someone w. a brain tumor, for example] & absolutely freak out about it for several weeks or more. It will be the first thing I think upon waking up & anytime I feel happy & I think "wait.. you have a problem right now.. you can't be happy."

So right now my big fear is homosexuality. I like boys!, but this year [8th grade] there are no cute guys in my grade at all. [Can't wait til Highschool] So somehow between that & all the "pro-gay" crap in the media I have managed to terrify myself of turning out gay. Its like I'm scared I'm being subconciously brainwashed into thinking its ok even though it creeps me out. & if I even start to stop worrying for a day or so, I see something about gay people somewhere & start freaking again. It scares me that there are real ppl who can't help it & how awful it would be to be one of them. Can anyone help me feel better ? How can I stop worrying ??

The older I get, the more depressed I get. I am 27 and feel like my best years have passed already. I had a really good, stable, childhood with a lot of friends and good times growing up. I was happy. Now I just can't seem to stop feeling so down all the time. For the last 3-4 years I have had extremely low self esteem. I obsess over my appearence. Sometimes I feel like the ugliest person on earth. Other times I think I was being silly. Death crosses my mind everyday now. Not always my own death in particular, but the death of family/friends. I can't stop myself from thinking about it. What if I die tomorrow, will anyone have anything good to say about me? What if one of my parents die how will I go on without them? I feel that I will never be as happy as I used to be because things have changed. Is this typical or depression? I try to keep these feelings away but it has caused me to have a panic attack once and last month I cried uncontrollably which has never happened until then..

i have never missed alot of work from depression,but i have went through a lot of jobs,and none seem to work out its like i reach a level, and thats it,and by that time i feel so bad i have to quit,the only job i ever had that didint make me feel this way was when i was a night watch man(no stress) and no pay) but i felt better, do people realize this is why i cant stay at the same job, right now i have a job that i will be returning to in 2 months and the angsiety is all ready attacting me, and i have not even started it,and i am trying every way i can to change jobs so i can be well again. some times i feel like just because i am still able to pull my self out of bed and go to work ,even though i feel like crap, and sometimes i feel like every one is carrying me,but the superviser tells me i am doing fine, i still feel like i am not advancing fast enough. do people realize how sick i really am, just because i am still able to go to work and they havent had to put me in a mental ward?

He says I have only wanted to become an Astronaut since I learned that they get to wear diapers during takeoff and re-entry. He seems to have influenced my mom because she says it 'isn't dignified to soil oneself in space'.

Well, that may be the case, but that doesn't mean my dreams are not valid and acheivable.

How can I keep Herb from squashing my dreams?

I dont want to live anymore. I cant go to school and I cant hold down a job. My depression is everything. I'm not liked no matter how much i try. I feel if i end it, i will help 8 other people because im an organ donor and 8 people could live off my organs.. Ive been on meds for depression and nothing works, i think its time, ive sort of made peace with it. I just need thoughts on this.

I have a lifelong friend , that i love like a brother. However, I am seeing changes. For instance..can only eat one thing on his plate before starting another. We can be playing cards and all of a sudden he will get up because the wash rag on the sink is not hanging over the faucet correctly or he will get up to straighten a throw rug or move a lamp a fraction of an inch over. There are other little idocincricies. Is this a sign of obsessive/compulsive behavior? Can it develop later in life?

My BF that I've been w/almost 8 yrs.. He's manipulative, likes to keep busy, and if sitting still just focused on what is important to him. If things aren't his way, he gets upset w/me &gives the silent treatment until he's ready to give in. We can't even have an itimitate dicussion, this has caused major problems in the relationship. I've read about adult ADHD and seems to fit the profile. His mother thinks he was ADD as a child. He gets moody or happy at his discretion, depending if things are going "right in his world". I know he's been married a couple times and probably in a variety of relationships. He's been w/me the longest, probably because I'm doormat and sensitive, putting up with the verbal abusive, so to speak. He is so defensive about himself, probably will never realize or seek help. But does anyone know about Adult ADHD & does this sound like him? I know he won't change or seek change, and know I deserve better, but was wondering about his behavior.

If I try to go three days without it I am so dizzy and nauseaus. I get hot flashes and feel really sick. Its like the flu. I have heard that the symptoms of Paxil withdrawl is alot like heroin. I am so upset why would anyone prescribe this drug? I am not feeling any depression or suicide thoughts. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been through this. How did you survive withdrawl?
