Mental Health - February 2007

me and my partner brought a house last year and life insurance has cropped up, of course its a good idea and my partner is keen to have it but at the moment im finding it so hard to talk about it, im 26 and the last thing i can think about is cover for my partner or i dying. im petrified of thinking about it and now my partner thinks im so wrong. I cant help the way i feel and i know maybe i shouldnt be thinking this way but i am. I know i have a fear of anyone close dying around me but the thought of having to have life insurance is frightening. Its just how im feeling inside i cant help how i feel can i ?

Okay, so I haven't slept for about 48 hours. That would be Insomnia right? Only I'm pretty sure I could fall asleep if I got into bed, and I KNOW that once I fall asleep I'll be able to sleep for at least 9 or 10 hours. So the thing to do would probably be to just... go to sleep, but I'm wide awake. I don't feel like going to sleep or laying down. Is being up for a few days straight a big deal...? Is this insomnia, since I'm sure I could probably get sleep if I wanted to, could this be something else....? or maybe I'm just making a big deal out of nothing. I do that a lot.

And are being medicated for it?

So far, I know for absolute sure they're:
-Coffee and other caffeinated foods.
-Chocolate (because it has caffeine)
-Alcoholic beverages.

What other foods should one not eat? Or drinks not drink?

Also, is milk alright?

While ignoring the general major depressive side of me, I am specifically concerned about the hypomanic aspect. It seems that so often, almost always in the wee hours of the early morning (midnight, etc.) suddenly, after being generally lethargic and tired throughout most of the day, I can just get this major second wind. I gain ton of energy, can't stop pacing the floors and feel incredibly creative. I can't sleep and am up all night, full of ideas... my dream is to be a big musician in the industry and suddenly - and I know this sounds looney - but when I'm in this mode, I'll start getting feelings of grandeur. Playing music and pretending it's me and that I am this incredible superhuman musician that's writing all these ingenius songs. I'll be performing it, dancing, doing crazy movements that I can't help. Also being a songwriter, sometimes songs will just come to me instantly and I'll be recording all into the night, almost unstoppable and not even realizing the time.

My wife is bi-polar. Here are ALL her meds. She is on 600 mg lithium 2x daily, luvox 200mg at night, klonopin 1 mg at night, depakote 500 mg 2x daily for myoclonus(has CP), and efffexor xr 150 mg in morning. Her current problems are she is up all night unitl 4-5 am and then sleeps all morning and part of afternoon. She eats once a day..usually cereal. Drinks up to 18 juices a day. Says she loves me and wantsme, but has lesbian cybersex at night even after we have sex, and a lesbian lover beyond that. She has psychotic detachements of staring, mumbling and talking to her dead mother that lasts for 10 -20 minutes. After which she has no memory of it. She has had her labs and her lithium is 0.7 and depakote is also at ok levels. Dr says her meds are working, and I say they are not because of her symptoms. The dr says that my wife is doing this on purpose. I think the dr is all wrong and she needs something. We live in Hawaii and there are not any dr taking new patiants.

Play therapy has been recommended for my 6-yr-old step-daughter by her school. I think it is an excellent resource for younger children. The insurance company refuses to approve it and states that there is no statistical proof that play therapy is any better than other types of therapy. Anybody have an opinion, experience with play therapy, or information on play therapy?

Any ideas or info welcome.

Step-daughter shows signs of depression, anxiety, withdrawal consistently for 2 years (behavioral screenings). In addition to behavioral, social issues, she is in special education (1st grade). At home says, "i hate myself" and "i want to kill myself".

We see her 2 weekends a month and half of summer vacation, limiting our access to get her the resources she needs. Mother only now is finally looking into this after a year of pushing on our part.

My children suffer from "night terrors". My oldest child seemed to outgrow it the same time they developed a form of childhood epilepsy.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? I mean, night terrors being related to epilepsy?
