Mental Health - February 2007

The pyschiatrist says to call him if I have thoughts of suicide, but when I first started taking prozac, I began to have a lot of thoughts about death. I began to be very scared of dying, actually just the opposite of suicidal but I thought something terrible was going to happen to me. Now this happens less. Is that normal? Has that happened to anyone else? Explanation for this possibly?

Anything from fireworks, music blasting and thunder will make me feel like crying and sometimes I do.

Is that normal?

Im 18 & sr in hs, i was thinking about trying for baseball, but i don't know if it's worth it. I've had very bad luck with sports (couldn't play soccer this year cause of an injury) & went out for baseball as a soph just to be the last one cut (literally the last since the jv coach couldnt decide & kept me an extra tryout just end up cutting me). Then he said the reason was cause the Vars coach didnt think i would make it, but now that same JV coach is on varsity, & he seemed to at least think i had some talent since he kept me & was the last cut.

However, I didnt play last year or tryout, & there's a lot of politics w/ sports as you're expected to play in private summer leagues (basically the seniors are already picked). That coach seemed to like me, particularly as a fielder (which means i would have to practice a lot on hitting)

Is it worth being cut again just to see what might happen, or keep some dignity from these sports/politics(& not leave hs as the 1 who was cut)?

Hi, I'm 30 years old. I have built a successful life for myself. I am single, own two homes, work full-time, have earned two bachelor's degrees and two master's degrees. Yet, I still feel extrememely depressed due to my mother abandoning me when I was 3 years old. I still remember waking up in the middle of the night as a toddler and looking around the house for her, thinking she was only hiding. By the time I got to kindergarten, it had sunk in that she was never coming back for me. How can I get over this pain? I think it affects my dating relationships. I've had several long-term (3+ years) relationships with men but I always sabotage them by breaking up, often for no good reason. I always feel restless, like I have to constantly change my environment (shopping, moving, breaking up, going back to college, etc.). I can not afford professional therapy (too busy paying for the houses and student loans -- LOL!!!) but I'm crying my eyes out, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can you convince me that life is worth living?

I have tried medical help, I have been to a shrink, all of that did not seem to help. I know I am just opening myself up to a bunch of answers like " just suck it up and quit feeling sorry for yourself" But I'm really hoping against hope, that somebody will actually give me a good, heartfelt answer, to help me to get out of this dark place I am at right now.

Thank you.

I've met a wonderful man. We have been dating for eight months now and both seem crazy about the other in every way. We are both in our fortys. Both of us are divorced and have been for several years. I found out early in the relationship that the doctor told him he MIGHT be bipolar or might be having panic attacks. God knows I dont know what he has. But sometimes he will call me on the phone and want to break up with me. Then in a few minutes to find him at my door step and we talk and everything seems great. And he says to me " Look honey how calm I am now or its gone I feel better now. He talks about a safe place, wants to feel safe. He couldnt be in a more safe place. Says he is scared, scared of what he really cant explain. When we stay busy, hes fine. He tells me he has been like this his whole life. His divorce didnt help a bit. His ex told him, for the last 15 years of thier 20 year marriage she hadnt loved him and wanted a divorce. Running out of space. Can anyone shed light?

I thought that I had read recently that fluctuations in sugar levels in the body may affect hormones and attribute to anger. Does anyone know anything about this and if you do, can you shed some light on this subject. Please give me any online sources if you have any. Thank you very much.

I have recently lost a very good friend of mine, not death but too hard to explain. I want to move on and forget about it or atleast let go of the pain that comes with it. I can't stop thinking about her no matter how hard I try. When someone talks about a best friend I cry or get upset/jealous. I'm on anti-depressants now and go to a pyschiatrist. I stopped seeing my therapist because I didn't like her. Does anyone know how to deal with this situation? I don't want to be holding on to the past anymore. I want to let it go, something won't let me.

I seem to feel anxious most of the time. As soon as I wake up I start to think about what there is to worry about that day. Come the evening I start to worry about what there is to do the next day. Sometimes even simple things I need to do around the house get me in a stew. Can I unlearn this behaviour?

How can I feel more complete? How to fill the empty hole inside?
I'm 53. I am always seeking God's help. I am sure that He is tired of hearing that over and over again. I pray inside myself and wait for an answer. Is there another way? I tried suicide 10 years ago. I don't want to die anymore. At least not that way. I want to go naturally now. I am basically happy most always but have an inner gnawing to contact God in a humble way. Thank You.

And the worst thing is, two hours ago i was happily having fun along with all my friends at Kate's house.
Whao, wait a minute. Friends? More like, long-time acquaintances. Do i have any friends? I'm willing to bet that i'm going to get so few comments on this, i won't even need to scroll down.
Hopefully so, though. Because in a few hours, i'll go on facebook and see this, and decide it was the stupidest thing i ever did just writing this. It's a sad state of affairs when if i don't think writing something is dumb at the time, when i look back at it i'll think it was dumb that i ever wrote it. If i don't write this, though, i'll just explode some other time, and probably at some other acquaintance. Then i'll ruin one more "friendship", and it will actually be one of the stupid things that i do. See, i won't be able to delete that before i post it.If i actually even post this, and anyone actually cares enough to read it, that's one more stupid thing for the book.
That's the first half
