Mental Health - February 2007

I often find myself going into trance-like states, and find it hard to be "present" in the company of others sometimes. I feel like i am "away with the faries" most of the time, and am happiest when i am alone so that i do not have to be "with-it". Anyone have any ideas why i might be like this? (i do suffer from depression but am on ssri's and am having counseling).

Well last week I had a bad dream. I dreamed about the devil. My mother was talking to my aunt one night about devil getting into people. That night I had a really bad dream & I woke up in the middle of the night. Before that I've had a hard time sleeping. My mom & I share a room. She snores everynight & I wake up for the sound of it. Now my heart pounds sometimes. I got really really scared. I get scared alot. Right now I am in a loving relationship and everything was going my way. I thought God has blessed me witha good man who loves me unconditionaly. I love him so much and I would give my life for him. When good things are happening to me I got this fear overpowering everything. Mom said I need medication. I am a religous person and I've been praying hard and going to church on weekdays too. Mom things my sweatheart might leave me if he things I am sick all the time. He knows I get bad dreams. But he still loves me. Is this anxiety? I don't want to lose the man that I love.

Additional Details

Mom thinks I am stressed. But I don't know if I am stressed. I went to the doctor over the weekend because my periods kept comming frequently and I was prescribed medication. Is this due to Anxiety or stress? My guy knows about this. Now I have gotten my fear alittle under control after I prayed alot and went to church. Mom said she is going to give me a prayer to chase the devil away. Right now I am sleeping in my fathers bed. He passed away 2 years ago. He was a good religious person. Does that have anything to do with me waking up? I wanted to bless my house. I will be crushed if I love my man because of all this. What can I do to be strong and get rid of what am going through?

I am in my early twenties and the mother of a very busy three year old. I am also a full time student and wife. I babysit for a developmentally delayed 1 yr old and a 2 yr old. My life is very hectic and in the past few months, maybe once or twice a week, when i am laying in bed ready to go to sleep I start feeling very anxious, antsy and overwhelmed like something is going to happen. I just get this very weird feeling that I have NO control over. Like I just want to scream. It usually goes away after an hour or so but I have to try relaxing myself and thinking of something peaceful in order to get the feeling to go away. I am not sure if it is anxiety or what. Maybe I just have too much too handle right now. Anybody have an answer??

Yeah it happens y'know.This time,taken to playing marbles with wild squirrels and neighbours cats. Can also be,shoplifting,blowing sports whistles in lifts or down the phone, causing public retail scenes,i.e. disputes and arguments but keeping a serious face,tourettes syndrome all over the place etc etc etc. so,this time what do I tell the man in the white coat at next month's appointment? It got worse,yet more hilarious and daring after seeing Fear& Loathing in L..A.
( best scene when Depp is checking in the hotel and reception woman turns into a reptile thing !) + all reptile scenes and the Portugese? photograher visiting the hotel room/ Depp hiding behind the furniture scene ) but this reaction behaviour game was also present after One flew over the cuckoos nest in 1975 !!. Do I aspire to nutters in a cloning way? Help? Aged 50 and bereaved of lovely wife in 2004.

I like having dreams (can't imagine anyone who doesn't) and would be interested in knowing how to reach that state of sleep more often.

I am working in retail, I can't remember my weekly customers' faces -_- Much less the names and what they bought previously. Alot of my colleagues can... And I feel I am losing out.

How can I improve my memory? Recall faces and names? Without having to take photos of them?

He knows it was a problem about 10 years ago and he knows that I obses over my weight and what I eat, but I'm just scared that he'll want to leave me because I have this problem. He'll make fun of eating disorders on other people. I just don't know how to bring it up? We've been married for 3 years and we're both 26 years old. I know we both want kids in the future. Please help with any suggestions.

I cannot remember anything that i just did. I am an artist and I am struggling to remember even the songs that i just wrote. I write several songs a month and listen to them over and over and still not remember all of the words. This is not the only thing that I cannot remember, just the major thing, right now. I am only in my twenties. (seriously) This has hendered me getting to do live perf's like I would like to. What is there that I can do the improve this short term memory loss? It seems like it takes forever to remember things. And to be totally honest, I feel like my short term memory is completely gone. It feels like a struggle to remember things that I just did or need to remember to do. I spend more time trying to remember not to forget to remember something. I am just wondering what to do to improve upon this. It is one thing not to remember what some else (does) has done, but when it is something you do every day, it becomes very worriesome/ debilitating issue.

With my friends I'm wacky and talkative but I am very self-conscious. When people older than me do or say something I freeze. Once some stranger hugged me and I didn't push him off.

This question is probably not appropriate for Y!A, but I'm very, very serious. I've been taking prescription meds for mental illness since puberty, and the weight I've gained from them has given me a lot of grief from others for over a decade. My weight just keeps increasing, despite everything I do. And I can't just stop taking my meds, because that will put me back in the hospital and I don't want to be mistreated in the hospital like before. I know I'm supposed to accept what I am, but I feel like garbage because that's how people treat me. It's getting to the point where it's either me or the weight. I know I'm sick, but I want to have a life and I'm tired of being told to buck up. And I would rather die than see the inside of another cold, corrupt, sadistic hospital.

My boyfriend of 5 years has been on medication since he was 14. He started out on Ritalin, because his school said he had ADHD. I have also had alot of experience with medication in my own life, and always lived with and known people with OCD, Manic Depression, MPD, etc... Currently he is on Zyprexa, Paxil and Adderal. Paxil, as we all know is for SAD, which I also have, but am on a different medication for. I have had a lot of time to, well, self diagnose him, and I believe he is Manic Depressive with some OCD tendencies. I feel his ADHD was imporperly diagnosed, because schools say everyone has it. His ups and downs are consitent with MD, like one minute he will be up and excited, and the next, staring off into space, and become depressed. I have never thought he was on the right combo of meds, but of course his doctors disagree, and I think its just because he has been on those meds for so long and they are afraid to change them. Any opinions on ADHD vs. MD?

When i see my psychiatrist it is usually 30mins long. She will ask a few questions and there is always one question that strikes a chord and I feel myself starting to open up. But the appt ends and Im walking out on the street and I feel vulnerable and like I didnt get to tell her that I feel like crap. That I fight with myself everyday trying to decide whether or not to continue with everything. I want her to know how alone I am. I just dont know what to say. What do I say?
