Mental Health - February 2007

I was very close friends with a girl about a year or two ago. We did the usual low key drugs and drank together. We were best friends before that even started. I tryed very hard to not even let her smoke pot because I knew she had such an addictive personality. I have never been closer with anyone in my life than I was with her. Long story short she got involved with a guy and he warped her and convinced her that I was a loser. I never forgave her and we are acquantices now, with deep wounds. I am drugfree now. I still care about her very deeply. She became a pothead. I found out today that she is using heroin. She is not even 17 years old. This is not the country it is washington DC. Her father died about 2 years ago and her mother gave up trying to protect her a long time before that. I was the last person to find out and I guarantee that I will be the first if not only person to act. Does anyone have any advice? Take into account I talk to her about once every 6 months very briefly.

what is it called when somebody always has to be right and makes everything anybody does a game and they have to say they win even when they ARE wrong? They rub it in and they are the only one that cares cause nobody else sees it as a game.

I laugh when people get hurt, I think its funny when stuff burns, I drink just to get drunk, I hate everyone, people suck, I'm always getting into trouble, and I cut and try to kill myslef, and I dont feel any remorse for anything I do. What do you people think I should do, besides going to Counciling, because thats a failure, I've tried it.

I am going thru a similar situation but,I can't retaliate. In my anger I always visualize ( even though I can't actually do that) stripping that nasty fellow in front of others and kicking him on the Butt.(LOL!)

Has any of you ever gone thru the similar frame of mind and visualized something similar to this?

I am over 45 years old.

I have a very sold education. And, I had a very respectable career.

Then my father died. Over the next few years, I lost 4 of my most important relatives to cancer.

I went into depression that I have yet to shake. I have been on disability for a handful of years. Financially, we are ok.

On the bright side, I am married to a wonderful woman and have children who own my heart.

We live in a nice area. But, I almost NEVER tell anyone that I have depression. I'm sure they wonder why I don't work. My children (under 10) don't fully understand why their dad, who had a great career, no longer works. But, they do love the time I have for them.

I have openly talked about my depression only with a few guys, who typically I have known for at least 5 or more years.



I am so afraid that people will view me and my family in a negative light. I feel "guilty" and am afraid that my family will suffer.

Do you have any advice??

I drive through my city at night for my work. I look in my rear view mirror and see well illuminated IXAT's everywhere, but there are none in front. I am starting to become a little paranoid about it all, am I being followed?

My entire life I have always felt really happy, but in the past year i have gone through so much change. I went away to school for a semester; absolutely hated it because it was so far from home and all my other friends, so i moved back home. I am currently commuting to college and although i have always been a straight A student and graduated close to the top of my class in high school , i am now struggling a great deal and am extremely afraid of doing poorly. I am beginning to doubt my ability to do anything with my life, especially my original plan of becoming a doctor. The only thing it seems that i have to look forward to is seeing my boyfriend, and that always leads to severe dissapointment, due to the fact that we are both busy (with school/work) If i were to lose him now i don't think i would be able to handle it. I cant concentrate on my homework and usually end up laying on my bed crying. I hate being miserable and am really scared will this pass or should i seek help?
