Mental Health - February 2007

okay so I took a little too much benadryl, about 350 mg. (I wrote about it in another question) I dont think itll be a big deal, but now I have to take a few more pills.... some lithium, deplin, remeron, and effexor. My mom will know if I dont take them, and I am not telling her anything about what I did. I dont want anything to happen though, if I mix those meds with the benadryl. Should I try and postpone taking my meds for a bit or should it be okay?

Why, am i thinking this way ... what would you think if you were in my position

What if I go to my shrink and don't have an eating disorder after all? Am I then a hypochondriac? I try to avoid eating and I get the urge to purge everything out of me though I don't usually follow though.

I have been experiancing anxiety attacks for about 5 months and have been on medication and taken off of them. Ive been given a referral to a Mental Health Clinic but am very awry to go and see. My mom and a family friend have been trying to get me to go and talking about me behind my back *which i heard* and my mom keeps asking me questions like so are you going out tonight with ppl, when she knows that i dont have alot of friends! which makes me feel worse becuase its making me feel like i have nobody. I've been feeling very tight chested latley and dont know how to fix it and i dont know what to do or what to say to my mom becuase i really dont want her to be embarrassed! Should i talk to my doctor about getting something to relax me ( not sure if she will though becuase of the refferal) Please help??

All my life I have been the type to break down and cry about everything. It doesn't matter if it's a good thing that happens or bad. And it doesn't happen b/c of that time of month, it just always happens. What can I do to harden my heart a little. I'm 31, is it too late?

I'm 12.
I had a nightmare last night that I hung someone and then tried to hang another guy, but he said let me free even though he was in pain and so I let him go. This was on my street... And then my dad went outside to his car and so I freaked and I said "dad I killed someone" and he didnt care...
Later on in the dream I somehow got to a school dance and then everyone started to leave so I left and when I got home I went on the computer and I talked to the devil on instant message...but then it turned out I was on my friends IM and she had someone like satan on their buddy list.
Then I went almost cut myself in the bathroom. And when I looked in the mirror I saw my face and then it looked away while I was looking in the mirror...
*****
I told people about the dream and no one cares!!!!!!!! I'm really scared to go to sleep so please help me. Also what do you think this dream means?

I am very, very scared to take any meds, this or a beta blocker that I have. I am looking to take the mildest possible thing that will wear off quickly and not affect me but calm me down b/c I am very nervous. I think this is mild (both are from doc). Perhaps I can take 1/4 of this? Or 1/4 of the beta? Which is milder? I am an adult but weak so like a baby with dosing. I'm so scared of pills.

I am going to counseling for an eating disorder. I am also on meds. I hate food and love it at the same time. I wish I could just feel normal and I wish I would stop weighting myself evertime I walk by a scale. I wish I could stop thinking about every calorie I eat and how much exercise I can do everyday. If I eat to much I will make myself vomit. I am 27 years old. I weigh 130 -135 pounds and I am 5'5. I don't like anything about myself. I have varicose vains on my legs. I have strech marks from having kids. I hate looking at myself even though people think that I am attractive. (thats even hard for me to say) Anyone else feel this way?

I have a terrible "lump" in my throat. Like the kind you get when you are about to cry. My chest hurts too, like something heavy is on it. I went and got an EKG at the ER and everything is OK. I don't feel panicky. But I do feel like I am about to cry for no reason. I never cry. I don't think I have cried for a year and a half. But I feel tears welling up in my eyes and I don't know why. And it is physically painful. It hurts my throat and chest. This has been going on for about 5 days now; am I loosing it? Has anyone else been through this? What's happening to me?

I am so tired of living my life the way I have been living it. I have always made all A's, been the first seed on the tennis team, tried to help and be there for my friends when they have needed me, and have always been a Christian. But lately... I don't know what to do. I have 3 B's on my report card, and I don't really know who my friends are. I am sick and tired of everybody thinking I am as close to perfect as you can get because I am not. I screw up a lot, at least lately. I feel like I have no control over my life any more. I feel like I am on the verge of doing something really stupid to myself: going anerexic, committing suicide, or cutting myself. The thing about suicide is I don't want to upset my mom amd dad and make them think they haven't been good parents. I also don't want it to make my parents look bad to thier employs and friends. I don't think I could ever bring myself to do suicide. I would probally chicken out. But I do want a way for all this to get better.

I stopped drinking, and smoking crack, and everything else, and its all dandy for 10+ years. But the internet--honest to god, the mental effect is somewhat similar to cocaine. However, I don't think I can completely quit using the internet. I have to email for work and use some things for work related research. So what do people in OA do--obviously you can't stop eating, right? Or Sex Addicts--what, you're going to recover, and so the Mrs. is S.O.L.? How does it work? And if you have any ideas about internet addiction, specifically in using a spiritual program (the 12 steps), that would be wonderful too.

I just started taking it for my somadic depression and anxiety.

i have been having HUGE mood swings,
(not related to menstral cycle)
i will be quiet and nontalkative and rather grouchy,
to me not being able to sit still and think straight, and go 5 seconds without talking.

i am a rather mellow person,
but i am also being looked at for manic (bi-polar).

so basically, my question is could this medication be giving me these HUGE mood swings?

or is it just my body getting used to it?

or could it because of my (possible) manic?

I Think My Daughter Has numerical dyslexia. Shes 12 Years Old And She Still Finds it Extremely Hard To Add Up Simple Sums Like 15 and 15! She Finds It Hard To Remember Number Sequences and Things she learnt In School. She's really intelligent Where Things like Art And English Are Concerned, But Scene As Shes So Good At Writing, When it Comes To Numbers She even writes Them backwards! I'm Dyslexic and so is my son and we both have ADHD too accompanied by it. Does anybody know whether its worth a test because the tests are a lot of money. And Also What are the actual symptoms and is there some sort of cure of something to keep it under wraps, because sometimes she comes home upset not being able to do the things that other children can and she says that she's so embarassed when teachers ask her questions out loud that she just simply cant do, Please can somebody help?

I have had over a dozen seizures when I was a small child. They usually happened before sleep, but twice they happened in the day. Whenever I had a seizure, I ALWAYS lost consciousness. All my seizures result in loss of consciousness. However, I once started to have a seizure, in a museam with my parents. It felt EXACTLY like all the previous ones, and should have resulted in loss of consciousness. I am 100% certain. However, I used my willpower, fought it, tried to stop it. It backed down, and then all the symptoms leading to the loss of consciousness vanished! I know that if I didn't use my will, I would have lost consciousness. I am 100% sure. But I didn't, so I RESISTED it. I didn't tell my parents, or my doctor, however, I did ask my physician if it was possible to resist a seizure, and he said NO. However, I resisted it (100% sure).












How did I do it?


How was it possible?
