Mental Health - February 2007

we fear of being alone.. especially when we feel that we will eventually lose the ones we hold near to our hearts. Can we live a life with happiness without feeling this way?

My brother is an alcoholic. I have sought all kinds of help to make him fine. Sent him to rehab centers twice .. But he is still not coming out of it. He has bcome a great problem to me an my family. A threat.. He is not ready to come out of it. he s become really stubborn. Always does what he wants to do. Never listens to any of us. I dont want him to stay with us. Since i feel he should stay independantly to understand his problem and he alone can tackle it. He has become a total parasite. Thats y i feel he should stay on his own. But under supervision. And he can work there to understand his responsibilty. Are there in places in india who take care of such people- just like old-age homes, etc..

I am a hermit. Someone told me that most people see their friends every day. I see my friends every month or so. I move around a lot, so when I take a class or volunteer and I make a friend, I find myself not really wanting to call them. I avoid their calls. In fact, I just hate picking up the phone.

But I was told this isn't normal? Do you think I should change? I never thought it was a problem, but I am getting older and I am not very close to my friends. I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with me that I don't have any very close friendships.

What can I do to create more intimacy with my friends and with other people? Btw I am able to have close friendships. I am married and very close to my husband.

Thanks.

told i loved her. I perhaps don,t show love enough having never had much, although they did their best they were ignorant. I will show more but find it diffcult sometimes. Just not used to it. never had a cuddle growing up enough attention and so getting use to it .

who never mentions the incident again in more than twenty years, Does it pay off to just not say anything about it , because it can change alot of people lives, not too mention hurt people that love her. The reason she kept her mouth shut is because she felt that it was her fault.

Additional Details


it only bothers her when she thinks , or is reminded of it by TV or someone speaking about child molestation , but otherwise she never thinks about it, and it totaly escapes her mind.

There is someone very important to me who is unmedicated bipolar. Don't ask why he is unmedicated and don't lecture me on it, it is very complicated.

He quite often has extreme mood swings which cause him to be really sad, weak, and even mean. I won't give up on him though. I refuse to. He has lost enough people this way.

How do I let him know I am here for him? How do you deal with someone with bipolar disorder and let him know I care? I've been reassuring him that I am here for him, what else can I do? How the hell do I make him feel better?

Serious answers only, please.

A friend (Annie) spoke to me about another friend (Donna). Donna had told Annie a secret, and asked her not to tell anyone. Annie told me, and we are unsure what to do now. Donna had confided in Annie that she was cutting herslef. She is going through a stressful time, and she cut her self to make her feel better. What are we to do? On one hand, we want to make sure Donna get help, on the other she will no longer trust or confide in us. What do we do???

I have emotionally unstable borderline personality disorder and I also suffer from severe depression. I turned to drugs to relieve my constant pain and sadness. Meth made all of the chemical imbalances in my brain much worse and after getting off of it I had a near psychotic break just because I was tired and I wasn't getting what I wanted. My boyfriend is sick of me. He avoids me, he leaves whenever he can. I ask for his attention and I am told to wait until he's done with his video game. I tell him I have an appointment and he forgets and works overtime to avoid coming home. We live with his parents and they HATE me. I can't even go to the kitchen to eat without hearing mumbles of "stupid" and other niceties so usually I sit in my room and cry because they all hate me and then I hear that's why they hate me, because I cry all the time. I just can't face one more day of this. I am sick of being this disease that no one wants to catch. I hate hurting. I want it to end.

...remind them of animals. I always think people look like an animal. For example my friend Danielle looks like a fox, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards both look like lizards and I met a guy the other day that looked like a badger? Random.

I went to a talk on depression this week and asked if there is a milder form of bipolar and they said there is 1 and 2. Bip. 2 is the milder one and the social worker described a little about the difference. I do know quite a lot about psychology for a general trained R.N. but want to know more detail. It seems most therapists, do not know the causes but I have my own thoughts. Can anyone give me some symptoms for a 34yr old intelligent accountant male? NB. He IS a perfectionist and sets a high standard (and I do know that these can contribute to the disorder). Thanks.

I feel really bad, I haven't been to my mom's gravesite since her funeral. I don't think she is really there and haven't wanted to make the 90 minute trip. I feel like all I need to do is to talk to her from wherever I am. I will obviously go on her birthday and Mothers Day, but I'm wondering how others feel about how often I should go "spend time with her". I really don't think that she is laying there in that spot and not able to connect with me from wherever I am but I also don't want to "ignore" her grave site as far as flowers, etc, it's just that I live 90 minutes away and can't get there every weekend.

I have promised my mom, Jesus, myself, and even my cat that I would not harm myself anymore, but the thought always seems to be there. Getting rid of my knives and daggers never seems to help, because there is always scissors, kitchen knives, and even tweezers around to cut with. What are some good ways to deal with self harm, and what to do to stop it??
