Mental Health - February 2007

It usually involves some sort of intruder or attacker that invades the house & attempts to kill me or my loved ones & my family, and I always end up killing them, by either bashing their head in or with strangulation. I just woke up from one particular recurring one where I shoot the intruder in the leg & then hit him in the head with a block of ice. It's scaring me & bothering my sleep, what does it all mean? :(

My friend has been suffereing from depression for a quite a while now, but the doctors dont seem to be helping her. They just prescribe her with some drugs and leave her. She is really in a bad way, she thinks she is ill and is going to die, the depression is making her think shes got all these illnesses when she hasnt. her family are no help they just keep telling her to get her act together, and its all in her head. She now thinks the docs have been talking about her and they are getting the nursery to watch her children. She thinks there going to take her children away. What can i do to help??

yoga teachers always say that doing yoga will increase your self confidence and help you get rid of depression in their adds.

I do believe that it does, but my questions is why or how?
how does it affect your self confidence?

It's harder to see what's going on inside another person, right?

So do you ever wish that people close to you, could see your emotional and mental scarring?

Because then they could understand what is or was happening and try helping you.

I wish i could show how i feel inside to my family, i have tried telling them they don't understand or really give a damn ( they rather have long intense talks about football and football transfers)
So maybe if they saw how much i was hurting inside , they would help me, instead criticising or ignoring me. I would have to slit my throat before they did something and even then they would only do soo because if they didn't, it would make them look bad to other people.

Is this a extreme of attention seeking?

And does anyone else wish people could really see what they were going through?

Or am i crazy???

...and does anyone know about or have major depressive disorder with psychotic features or borderline personality disorder? I need some advice on different treatment options.

I was there because the unhealthy way I cope is self injury and I had to get staples. I've been doing it since I was 9 so please...I know how bad and addictive it is.
I feel worse because I caused so many problems for my family while I was there. I didn't really need to be there because it didn't change anything. I still have the urge to hurt myself and I am still working on it the same way I was before.

I am on wellbutrin and zoloft which has helped some....but I still sometimes wish I was dead because I look around at people and sometimes I hate them & wish Osama would blow them all up, and other times I look at them like I just will never fit in with them

I guess it doesn't help that somehow I got mixed up in a fundamental Christian church, and they are pressuring me to give up everything I love (basically anything that doesn't feed me spiritually...like secular music). Their lifestyle is so drastically different from mine, but they have taken me in and want me to be a part of them....I don't know what to do

I've been so sad lately.. My mom went (even more) crazy and took off to arizona even though I moved from the east coast to the west coast to be here for her. I just feel so f-ing let down by everybody! How do I snap out of this self loathing I feel? I just want to be happy...being sad and depressed is not how I want to live my life. I just want to hear from people that feel the same way.

I have been extremely stressed out recently from college (last semeser), commuting, work, worrying about the future, etc.,

Lately I've noticed that I am paranoid of people's motives and lash out at them, or when something bothers me I take it a notch too far with my reaction, I've even thrown things, sometimes I just do completely unpredictable things, but I do not realize I am doing it until it is already done - and then I feel so ashamed and horrible. Absolutely horrible.

Is this a normal result of stress?

I didn't show up to my appointment with my therapist today.
I feel worst than ever. I've been feeling awfull for about two weeks now.
I'm thinking about finishing it tonight or maybe tomorrow or maybe in the near future or maybe not at all.
I'm confused and I'm scared of what I might do.
I don't know where to turn to.
I'm afraid of calling my psychologist because I don't want to be hospitalized. Some time ago he told me he would hospitalize me if he felt I'm in danger. So I'm trying to avoid that but I feel helpless. What should I do?

How can I make the social security office understand that I tried working 3-4 hours a day and I get nasty symptoms. It seems the people at social security don't understand that my schizoaffective bipolar I type disorder symptoms come back when I am under a little bit of stress or some stress. I get mood swings going from irritated and angry/hostile toward my parents and not being able to fall asleep until after 3-4am.
I am only 24 yrs old now and been kicked out of the army reserves 3 years ago cuz I had homicidal and suicidal thoughts for at least 6-8 months. The bad thing is that I tried killing my grandmother but this was cuz i was very irritated and having mood swings. I qualified for SSI and SSDI both and took risperdal, zoloft, ativan. Now i only take seroquel 600mg and lithobid 1500mg a day. I heard that a some people working in there don't know what they're doing. I can't wait to have my disability taken to a judge cuz i heard it takes 2 years. is there any hope? i feel unstab

I am just wondering if this is normal because I haven't really talked about it to anyone. Since I was about 9, I have had this INTENSE fear that my mother was going to die. The thought of her dying takes up much of my day. Currently, I am 28. It just hit me tonight that I have pretty much been worrying about my mom's death for 20 years. Is this normal? If not, what could be causing this persist. thought? Thanks

Is there a mental-health issue that is specific to highly intellegent people?
I know somebody who is a genius, but I have watched him dwindle everyday. He is approaching his 30's, and has no life.
He has serious problems "getting through" to people, and cannot find anyone who shares his passions. I know he has so much potential, but he is a flickering-flame about to go out.
He has fears that prohibit him from expressing himself, and he is extremly shy!
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
