Mental Health - February 2007

do u think its possible that some people cannot feel happy before feeling depressed or sad.
could it be like a condition similar to drugs? where ppl are not happy with normal levels of dopamine and need more to feel happy? unless there is a depression in the dopamine levels in your body you cannot feel happy with the levels that are otherwise normal?
coz i keep thinking i cannot be happy without bieng sad! and maybe its hormonal???
does anyone ever feel that they cannot be happy? could this be the reason?

I dont want to call it a head ache, but i get this spinning feeling sometimes. Its nothing at all like a dizzy the-room-is-spinning feeling. Its really more like my mind is spinngin i guess, like i dont have control over things anymore. It makes it really hard to concentrate/think. Any idea of what might be going on, or how i could fix this?

im afraid it will splash in my eye and blind me or cause damage, and im afraid i won't spit it all out, and i am afraid of an allergic reaction.. i only brush my teeth about once every 2-3 weeks because its so exhausting to spend 30 minutes rensing and then rinsing my eyes after and washing it off my hands for 10 more minutes. My gums hurt and i was told a year ago im going to have gengivitus.

I was sick with the flu really bad last week. Now every nite when I go to sleep I am having at lest 1 dream about someone or someplace from my past, most of them seem to be from when I did home health care and the people that I cared for or their families. I am going to the homes and visit, most of these people have passed, or no longer even live in these homes anymore. In a couple of them I know where I am but its not exactly as when I worked there. In 1 case the dream started out around the families home but I was not at the family home, I was outside at a neighbors, I saw a big cat (not domestic) it never appproched me or tried to intimidate me in any way it was just there. I walked a way and then I was in the families home of my ex client. I would like some input. Thank you.

ive always kinda felt like i would die younger...but like im only 12.

and lately i think about it a lot, like a ton really. It might be a car crash, cancer. anything.
But I brought it up in front of my family a while ago, and my two youngest sisters admitted to talking to eachother about feeling like if something bad happened to the family it would be my death.

This really scares me. because like i've heard of people who write letters to there familys about how they "feel" like there going to die soon, and then they do. {die}

So i guess im just asking for your opinoins on this...

[[ i also tried to bring it up to my dad in the car today, and he go all quiet and switched the subject.. it was wierd, lol ]]

I've had whatever you would call ADD for a long time and definitely do believe they're are some of us who live with this as a burden or a useful device. I'd love to hear some experiences and share some of my own. For me it has been my own funny movie made for the viewers(the public, family, etc.), not so much for myself. It does give me my personality, but the damaging decisions and confusion that come with it have hurt me as well. If anyone wants to share Please

Lately I have been feeling horrible. I just want to stay in my room. I have been in bad moods and won't say a word to my family. I'm not really moody around everyone, mainly my family. I have had trouble falling asleep and trouble waking up. I often feel like my friends don't care and I have had emptiness inside, like a weight in my chest. I am normally a happy person. I also have cut myself a few times. I've tried to tell my mom but she doesn't listen.

I have suffered from depression for a few years. I find that I'm dumb and can't remember anything, not even for a few minutes, and have trouble learning new things at school. Is this typical of depression, or is something more serious wrong with me? I feel so dumb and am scared to take a job because I'll screw it up. I used to be such a smart girl, too.

I have been doing alot of research on autism and aspergers and I am almost certain that I have aspergers. I told my parents but they refuse to believe me, and just say that I am a "normal person who just happens to be intoverted and quirky". Thus they avoid the very possibility, though even if I did have aspergers would it really affect my current life that much at all? What's their problem? And what should I do to get them to understand, and prove wether I really have aspergers or not?

What should I do?
