Mental Health - February 2007

I work in an office, its small only 5 people but I don't show the kind of emotions that I think my boss expects me to, like he seems to think I'm not enthusiastic about something because I don't visually express it, I'm sure part of it is just my character but I know most of it is from either the drugs or my medication. I need a way to explain it without going into the really specific details.

I was just wondering whether someone while under the influence (drunk) is likely to tell to the truth, just be more honest with what they are saying... I know this person that hates to talk about certain things but when under the influence speaks out her mind like there's no tomorrow... Can these things being said be taken to be true, out of her subconscious, or can they just be random mumbling due to the alcohol... Can you guys help me here, there are some things that were said that are very important to me if they were to be true... should i take them as serious or simply desregard them as b.s. due to the alcohol? Thanks.

I have been prescribed prozac but don't like the side effects. If I told my doc that I'd prefer just trying out herbal meds or just going through councilling rather than taking the drug they prescribed, isn't that just up to me? I really do not want to take medicine and although I am suffering from depression, I feel that all I need is a little counselling.

Ok, I was put on 10 mg of Lexapro for anxiety. I haven't taken any of the pills yet because I wanted to research it first. Everything I have read has not been positive. My sister was on it and felt very disconnected, sick and couldn't sleep. I also read that someone had their first seizure on it. I don't want to take the 10 mg, I want to try 5 mg first. Has anyone been on this? Can you share your story with me? I don't suffer from depression, only anxiety. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I start cussing like a sailor! It's mainly when my kids won't mind and yes I've tried everything like grounding and taking things away. They aren't the problem though. It is me. Could it be any of these meds that are aggrivating my stress level? Lamectil (mood stablizer) provigil (sleep apnea, narcolepsy) ovcon (birth control) this is it other than levoxyl (thyroid). I've been on Lamectil and Ovcon for about 3 weeks. Before was wellbutrin and orthotricyclene. My nerves are so bad!!!!

When you have this desease you dont want to eat, to sleep or to read you only want to talk or to buy things or to make call phone and you spend so much money in medical drugs, i mean pills medicated by the doctor, the specialist in this case is the phsyquiatric doctor, is a organic and hereditary disease, so finally after a lot of time searching job i finally found a good one.. but i am worried because there is a probability to leave the job if i continue feeling bad, please if you know someone in a similar case write me an email as soon as possible, i am married with one boy i am secretary and i need the money that i can get with a job.

I am an expressive person. I speak my mind openly and honestly. I also work on not attacking someone, speaking from the first person, "I" language. No name calling.

When there is a situation in which I get "charged" I react. It isn't always anger, that takes a lot for me. One example would be a professor saying she is giving a point on a quiz to the class, and then taking it back. My boyfriend is patient with me, and jokes that he can't imagine if I bottle things up.

I know I am not affecting myself socially... I have a wonderful family, boyfriend and tons of friends. I am a physical therapy student, I am very empathetic...

I have gotten better in that I will count to ten, take deep breaths, walk away... or tell the person that now is not the right time to be talking about this. I don't want to say something I regret.

However... there are people that can hold things in, and not react.

Any suggestions on working on this further? I am open to self work.

Thanks.

my son suffer from it ,and lately he is been having like 20 seizures a day awake or a sleep and its really difficult to cope with it ,but i praise God to give me strength to go trough all that,but neverthless its hard watching your kid having that ,he is under new medication that make him some times really agressif towards his brothers and sister even me and he's father. He is suppose to be at the nursery but the way he is now, its really difficult to let him go.
like yesterday he was so porely that we couldnt get out of the house.
Some time its really difficult but we are getting there by the Grace of God.
So ,some moral support from people who is having the same problem as me ,would be verry nice to share some advice with you.
May God bless you.
