Mental Health - February 2007

I am 27 and cannot leave town without having a panic attack and backing out. I am afraid of going crazy in the car and this prevents me from living a life I want to live. My fiances family lives out of town so I have only been out there once. I am depressed sometimes about this and have lived like this for 3 years now. I cant afford therapy is there options out there for anything I can get free or cheap? My doc has me on paxil and gave me Klonopin but I am afraid to take the klonopin because I dont know what it will do? please give me advice?

For years, while on the exterior I am very intimidating (6'2", 220 pounds), a few really close friends who have gotten to know me have always said that I am one of, if not, the most feminine person they've ever met. I've always been extremely ultra sensitive, emotionally demanding, emotional, submissive, not into most things guys are, while into a lot of things that are construed as "girly," and for all of my life, I've managed to repress homosexual and crossdressing feelings. (outside of the few times I've slipped and dressed up) The times I've tried to man up, no one seems to notice.

I just want to fit in as one of the guys and be that real manly guy and one day find a woman I can make happy. I'm just tired of hearing that emotionally, I am like a woman and have a brain like one. (maybe it stings because they have a point) I just want to be one of the guys, so I come to you... what can I do to achieve this goal? What can I do to finally show a more masculine side? Thanks!

I just recently found out that my best friend has tried to kill himself by slitting his arm, and even more recently, trying to choke himself with a towel in my bathroom. He has also told me that he has been hearing voices that are so loud, that he is afraid his head will explode if he doesn't listen to them. He talks to himself like he is having two conversations, and as such, I am afraid he might have Skitsofrenia.

Is there anything I can do to help him?

Why is it accepted in society to take perscribed medication for years to be "normal" but if somebody likes to smoke pot daily to help them relax at the end of their work day society frowns on them. A lot of times people are percribed a variety of drugs to be "stable." But god forbid if someone is a pot head.

I have been diagnosed with BPD and I still get angry, dangerously angry. I got mad over my husband not wanting to give the dogs water right when I asked him to and flew into a rage and I took it out on him and I was just blind with madness, throwing things, ripping his clothes up, etc. Then, as soon as he did it, I was fine. Like nothing ever happened. I am wondering if I may need higher doses of my medication or is it something else.

ok Im ugly. but thats not why im depressed, its because I used to be hot! When i used to look in the mirror id think man im im hot and a lot of girls check me out. This was about 2 months ago. Now when i look in the mirror im ugly and im so depressed because i cant tell what happened. The only explaination I can think of is that I overplucked my eyebrows once but when they grew I looked hot but now they grew back too much and cant pluck them back to their old shape because it was an accident in the frst place. Can u give me any advice?

Due to emphysema, the doctor ordered my 86 yr old mom to quit smoking last July. Her health has thankfully improved since then. She, however forgets every day that she quit so she goes through the house looking for cigarettes and then accuses me of hiding them from her. Then she breaks down and cries and goes to bed. Then she gets up and the cycle returns. Any tips on what I can say to her to get her to settle down? Thanks

Has anyone ever not been sure whether something actually happened in childhood or weather it was a dream? I'm afraid to mention what it is because it's not good...I don't think it's real but for some reason it was a reccuring dream (about something that could have happened) when i was growing up and I cant decide whether it was real or not. anyone else experienced this or have any comments?

hello all, i work as a labourer on a building site. i've always been a ground based labourer. but the new site i'm on is in the final phase i've had to go up the scaffold to unhook the mortar buckets from the telescopic forklift on a few occasions. so everybody knows my phobia and thinks its a good laugh to shake the scaffold when im up on it. anyway at tea break i said i would find out all their phobias and see how they liked it. they all clamed up and went quiet. what is the most common phobia for men aged 25-55 in western europe?. most of my "workmates" are joiners roofers and bricklayers so a fear of heights would'nt be a problem for them.

People come on here for advice, they do not come on here to be critized and harrassed....
Why the hell do you even answer F*cking questions if all you do is criticize or answer with stupid sh*t such as you have problems..get over it...or your a lesiban....the people who do this and make people feel even worse are losers and you don't deserve to be alive.

My live-in boyfriend ruined our relationship when i dicovered that he had two kids, and lied about them- several times. For some reason i suspected that he had kids- but he would always make a joke of it, and say i didnt know what i was talking about. Well i stopped sleeping. I would go to bed around 4 and wake up at 8 and be fine all day. I didnt eat that much. I havent cooked ANYTHING in weeks, and i dont care either. He was eating cereal on paper plates becuase i stopped caring about the home that we shared. I thought i was pregnant, and he told me that if i were- he would have nothing to do wiht me or my child- then everythign got worse. I didnt get any sleep after that. My period was 3 weeks late, for no reason at all. I ate less, and slept less. Do you think im am depressed or stressed? i never really had to deal with stress before he moved in, and he moved out now, so i guess i will be ok- what do you think?
