Mental Health - February 2007

Please don't flame me for my spelling.
I have tooken a depression online test and have 9 out of them 10 sytoms...

I had tryed to make a conversation with her about it...

It came out as one with the word suicide in it, and I asked her, but she gave me that "I'm going to hurt you" look on her face, then I quickly made an exuse to "get out of school that day" and she calmed...

Depression runs very high in our family...

She's very stirct and she'll tell me "she's to busy" all the tme...I am cyberschooled and she's a stay at home Mom. I don't have any friends and contact with family members is very minimal, and any family member would say that I'm talking crazy if I asked help from them.
I have to ask to use the phone, and she never leaves me alone, so I couldn't call anyone...

Please, could you tell me how I can tell her?

For me, this is like a 12 year old telling there parents that she got pregnant...I don't want to give out my age, but I just started PMS about 5 months ago...

Hi,

Is the chemical serotonin found in certain foods more than others? Is there a particular food that has a lot of serotonin? It's interesting to take note of how nutrition has an effect on mood and behaviors.

Thanks!

Alex

A female friend of mine asked a buddy of mine at the game shop we all hang out in for help on her Yugioh deck that she plays with in her spare time. The buddy said this to her "I can't help you with your deck there,last time I helped someone with there deck,they beat me. That was my g/f." He says this,but then winds up helping another friend of mine (male) with his deck,it's card for card just like my buddy's deck. My female friend is more confused,hurt,rejected about being lied to.

What is it called when people do this ? And why ? What can I do to help out,that this wasn't on purpose ?

I have been smoking pot everyday for a little over year, and in the last six months- several times a day. When I say that I am going to stop I always end up smoking the next day. I am always hanging out with my best friend and all we do all day is get stoned, listen to music, and sometimes drink. I tried dating a friend of mine but I never seemed to find a good moment to kiss her, very much of a loserish thing to do. I know. But that's what I'm dealing with, low confidence and an unescapable will to smoke pot even when I have very important things to do. I can't ever say 'no' to my friend. I also don't know what I would do (for fun) everyday if I wasn't smoking pot.

But I was thinking of calling the suicide hotline. But then I thought I don't want to be hospitalized. I stopped going to therapy 5-6 months ago and threw out my meds. I feel sick and want to throw up. Everything around me has speeded up. The worst thing is that I don't even have the guts to do it. Everyday that goes by it seems that there is nothing worth living for. Everything is just pointless. I just want it all to stop. I wish I would go to sleep and never wake up. Can't focus on anything. My head hurts so bad that I think its going to explode.

So if I called the suicide hotline and said these stuff would I be hospitalized cz I don't wanna. I just want to talk to someone.
I was in therapy for 3 years but it didn't do anything.

I have taken xanx for a long time and have in the past become hooked on it, I noticed it has helped me so much, but stopped taking it for some time, but recently went back to it, just when I really needed it. What are some of your side affects or reactions to it, and how has it helped you?
I noticed depending on the type of stress or situation you are in, in your life, it changes it in both good and bad ways?
how has it effected you??

I am a senior in college and run on cross-country/track program. I noticed I have a teapot effect. I notice that different things anger me, but I usually shrug it off. Sometimes its things I should be mad about and I should vocalize but I don't. Then every so often, the littlest thing goes wrong and it sets me off. I have even gotten so mad that in a nasty argument with my friends, I have said many scornful things. THIS WEEKEND I had a track workout at 8am, Saturday. I couldn't go back to sleep by the time I was back in the house. That night, we went out to a bar. We came home at 2:30am, I wanted to go to bed, but we kept screwing around til 4. I had plans to go skiing at 5:30am and wanted to go to bed and I vocalized it. My roommate got me pissed and I went at him. We fought a bit, punching. And then out of rage I threw a bottle from 3 ft away & it shattered in his face. The doc said 1/8 inch either way I could have blinded him! He is ok, thank god! 5 stiches. What is wrong with me

I am in my 30's and still I hear my mother, my dad, my brother and others over the years. Their voices became my thoughts. Everything I do, drive, drop something, amd 2 mintues late, was grumpy, anything I do that is not perfect is wrong. I have my own family and I have taken over critiszing myself. How do I just STOP. When I try to argue with the thoughts 'NO! I am doing good' I know what my dad would have said next and I can't win... just like when I was a kid.. I am wrong. How do I relax and stop cristising myself?


-I used to be on medications for anxiety, but since I have started mediating I have been able to go off of them
-and no I don't 'hear' voices
-and three, they are much worse now that I am pregnanct and hormonal and tired. Scratch that. exhausted...

I self-harm on average, a couple of times a week (cut myself). Should i talk about this in therapy? I would like to talk about it but then i don't want to stop doing it when i need to, so there is no point in discussing it is there?

My brother is only 13 and at an early age he was diagnosed as Bipolar and Adhd, he takes medicine to control him but it doesn't seem to work and I know that my parents have tried it all. I don't know what to do, my patientence with him is wearing thin, he's really abusive physically with my younger brother who's only 9. He'll throw tantrums, kick things, throw things and even starts hitting people. When my parents or me tell him something or try and reason with him things always end up out of hand, there are times when he'll try and runaway or kill himself. We've tried everything.
I need some sort of advice, something to tell him that we may not be on the same page, but I'm willing to be here for him and help him through things. What can I do?

I have seen a lot of posts about persons suffering for months attempting to get off of Effexor. I myself suffered the same fate and was able (after trying for 2 - 3 months), to get off in 3 days. This was after getting down to 37.5mg /day.

I was given Tranxene for 2 weeks and by the 3rd day, all the Effexor withdrawal symptoms had disappeared. I have finished the course of Tranxene with no addditional ill effects, and am totally symptom free ... back to normal and so grateful for it.

I have found this to be an fast, cheap and effective solution, and I am surprised that I haven't seen it anywhere before. Much kudos to my dcotor. I don't even know how he came up with the solution but it worked.

Has anyone else out there tried this drug, with the same remarkable results?

Hey,I have a question. I have a long history of mild depression--I took 20mg of Paxil for 10 yrs (on and off). my father died almost a yr ago, & I have had huge bouts of anxiety. I couldn't go to sleep while taking Paxil (I previously had no problems)-& so, I'd go in this ridiculous cycle of NOT taking Paxil so I could sleep--then after like 2 wks getting SOOO low I thought I was going to die-so Id start the Paxil again--for like a wk -then get tired of not sleeping
I went to a psychiatrist-- she determined I was bipolar depressed (she said its different than bipolar disorder).she put me on depakote and lunesta-which worked fine.but I don't want to worry about liver all the time & have to do blood panels every 3 mo's (it doesn't seem healthy to take something that requires this)..so anyhow, I went to a new psych--she put me on seroquel 50mg, it made me NUTS!!! (btw, she said I just have depression w/anxiety). Anyone else have a bad exp. w/seroquel?im taking 12.5 mg tonight and scared!

It's obvious the girl is mentally sick. It's no laughing matter. I can't beleive that the hair salon couldn't wait for her to get out the door before they were already scheming a way to make money off of her. Thats real concern if you ask me. Supose she had left there and committed suicide? Would they be trying to auction off the weapon or the pills she overdosed on. I have struggled with depression for years and it's really not funny.Where is the compassion and concern for people anymore? It's all about making a buck, no matter who it hurts or how it;s done. She has kids that someday will see this stuff about their Mom and it's going to affect them. Lets forget about the monetary part and concentrate on helping this girl and her family. She has a right to be depressed just like anyone else and she has feelings like anyone else. Give her a break. Take her serious and support her and see how that works. Sorry, but all of this hair stuff makes me sick, It's all about money at any cost!
