Mental Health - February 2007

It seems like every little thing seems to send me into a complete rage now, what can I do to stop things from getting to me? I wasnt always so angry all the time but it's getting worse. I am afraid I am going to keep pushing people away and eventually there wont be anyone left...

I had bad anxiety for years but never this kind. For the past 2 weeks i've been getting this "over excited" feeling. Even when im just lying down. My hands start "tingling" like crazy and then my heart races. But the weird thing is im not scared of it because i know then ill have a full blown panic attack. i've just been feeling over excited about everything. I tried to go to sleep last night after going to a friends house, and i was sitting in bed till 6am with my heart racing..like i just ate pounds of sugar. I know its anxiety because i got EVERY test done in the book, And doctors found nothing. I eat really good..I never eat choclate or drink anything with caffeine, and i hardly eat anything with sugar...but I DO smoke and am trying to quit. But no physical health problems. It sucks, my birthday is in a week and im already feeling OVER excited about it..like im happy but i feel nervous. And theres NOTHING to feel nervous about. :( what do you think?

For the last month I have watched myself go from a person who was the life of the party and a poster child for normality, to a person who is EXTREMELY depressed and often talk to himself, usually only stopping once I notice whtat I am doing. I believe that this is due to increasingly unberable stress that is caused by college and my job. I am not sure if this is something everyone goes through, but im worried because thoughts of suicide have crossed my mind lately. Please let me know your opinions

The kind of deression that makes us feel low and depressed ( There are far serious kinds of depression that I am not referring to, but just the simple, non-clinical kinds)

I know hot chocolate helps me, and so does some physical activity. Apparently eating fish is useful too, because of its Vitamin B content.

But what else?

I have a problem i think to much! (which makes me worry to much) I know we all need to and its normal to think but i do it to much. I have trouble sleeping because of this.

Does anyone else have this problem? And how do u deal with it?

My husband takes 5mins to go to sleep when we go to bed but it takes me well over an hour and anywhere between 2-3hrs. I cant help but lay there and think about the past present and future. Sometimes when i ask people what there thinking, they say nothing! I cant remember the last time i thought about nothing (im not even sure if this is possible)

People say to relax and switch off our brains but i dont know how!

Any ideas or suggestions?

Im only 21 and im affraid its going to make me crazy!

My thoughts just dont seem to stop!

I do not like to join groups. I don't like to tell my problems to strangers. But I have been told I should go to Al-Anon and it may help. Anyone have positive/negative experience with Al-Anon?

I have been a shy person basically since I can remember. Sometimes I just wish that I wasn't so shy, because alot of times I really want to say something but I end up holding it in. I just want to be able to talk to people and carry on a normal conversation without wondering what they're thinking about me. People make it seem so easy, but I find it extremely hard to do. I'm quiet at school and work, and people don't really know who I am because I'm never talking. I talk alot at home, I guess it's because it's my family and I've been around them my whole life. I mean I can't even hold a conversation with my boyfriend anymore. I feel like I don't even know him anymore and he doesn't know me anymore. I've made it my new year's resolution to just speak my mind, I do it sometimes but not nearly as much as I want to. I feel like if I keep holding things in and not talking to people that one day I'm just going to bust! How can I communicate more???

I have a family member whom I thought was bi-polar, but is consistently declining mentally and quite irrational so I'm leaning towards the problem being dementia. Can anyone tell me how you deal with this from personal experience? This family member was my best friend and I'm losing her and I can't seem to deal with the pain. She is becoming more disconnected with society as she lives and breaths what's on the news, and the irritability is more constant. Help!

I know that I need to get over this, I am not that stupid, but, in asking this, maybe someone will say that I may be... but, within loneliness is a hurting pain that won't go away.... I live for every day within the little things that may be taken for granted in life, but, yet, I long for a healed heart within to take all that pain away....

Peace

Anyone know anything about frequent ecstasy use (over about a year or more) leading to anxiety issues, or any type of issues with becoming abnormally paranoid when using marijuana, or having problems remembering things you were planning to do just a few minutes previously?

Any known treatments for this type of issue (i.e. Lexapro?), and any amount of time that one could expect it to resolve itself?
