Mental Health - February 2007

Maybe i'm imagining this but I think some of the people in school think I am\was depressed and they talk to me weird. I am not and I wasn't depressed just that I had a panic attack once in class one year ago and I cried and some saw it.

I am a loner, but by choice though. I enjoy being alone than being with a clique liek I was when I started schoo. But I think people think that I am just pathetic and cannot fit in. Some of the things they say seem to imply I try too hard to fit in and that is pathetic

I joined clubs one with a political cause one religious and I think coursemates think that I joined only because I am desperate to know friends. But that wasn't my purpose in joining

I'm a medical student in the UK meaning undergraduate level. So everyone knows each other the class is really small.

I stopped caring what others think for a long while until yesterday. I could not sleep last night. I can't bring myself to sit alone in full view of everyone in lectures anymore

How can I calm down and relax and clear my head (I've tried meditation and it hasn't worked :( )

I just want to be able to relax and not have anything on my mind.

A friend that I love very much has been having problems with depression for a while now, and I'm afraid that he's almost at his breaking point.

He has expressed the desire to go into therapy multiple times, but unfortunately has no resources to make it happen. His parents are, by no exaggeration, very selfish and would not be willing to pay for it. Him getting a job is also most likely out of the question. He is already under tremendous stress just trying to keep up with schoolwork.

I've had some experience in the past with depression myself, and his doesn't seem to be improving on its own. I've tried everything I can think of to help him, but nothing makes him feel any better. Ultimately, I think he won't get any better without proffessional help.

If anyone has any ideas on how to get him help, you have no idea how much I would appreciate it. I want to help him before he tries something that cannot be undone.

Thanks,
Haruka

My girlfriend recently broke up with me, and because we were friends first we decided to remain friends. Whenever i talk to her i feel great but as soon as I am done talking or hanging out with her i feel really crappy. She has been through a lot (multiple brain surgeries) and I was there to help her through her depression. She recently told me that she "Felt weird" when we hung out. Is it stupid to try to remain friends with her if It only makes me feel crappy. There is nothing i want more than to remain friends with her but I still have feelings for her and I know that if i dont talk to her i will feel even worse than i do now. please help.

He is insulting, indicating your level of inteligence is lacking......I will omit the vulgar language. Can I refer my problem to Human Resource Mgmt?
Why do I have to be a sounding board for his anger and discontent. He is a security person, high level, and acts with impunity.???????????

I saw it, and I think I have a mental disorder where I am emotionally impacted by war films, particularly WWII ones, and after I saw "Letters from Iwo Jima" I couldn't stop thinking about the main theme (song) and the sadness of the film. I loved it, but I have a very complex emotion attached to the movie, almost pride, some longing, but sadness overall. Is this a disorder, or a common response to graphic movies?

Things are going wonderfully in my life now, but I was diagnosed with depression last year (dysthymia). However I got really really wounded emotionally by an ex boyfriend over a few months untill the end of last year. And occasionally thoughts of that hurt come back and I get an odd strong compulsion to end everything, although at the time my mind and mouth are saying that i don't want to die. It doesn't last more than a few hours but it scares me because I have so much to live for. It just hurts that bad. any ideas what it could be? or suggestions or if you've had anything like this before please share

I'm looking for cognitive-behavioral and rational-emotive based approaches, specifically. Ideally, I would find downloadable pdf files. Please let me know if you know of a resource online that might be helpful.

If somebody tries to speak to me on a one to one basis I just want to die. I have no self worth and sometimes contemplate suicide. How can I get out of this rut and push myself to do more. I am on anti depressants, quite a high dose but I still feel the same.

I have suffered with anxiety for at least 20 years, since I was about 10. I have had symptoms of every disease imaginable from the west nile virus, to heart attacks, to cancers, and other awful diseases. I am constantly at the doctors and they tell me I am fine. I have numerous tests just in case that all come back ok. I had 3 cat scans in one week just in case. my bills are thru the roof. Now I am worried because I have a burning feeling in my foot. I want to stop this cycle. I want to not have invasive tests for nothing. I want to believe my doctors but I'm too nervous. I often have panic attacks and hardly can eat a thing. I do see a therapist and basically it has taught me to recognize my fears as panic but it doesn't make them stop. It is awful. Suggestions Please.

I read recently that the nicotine in smoking causes the release of dopamine, thus the basis of the addiction. I went on a SRI medication some years ago, and that releaved depression. Does sex release one or both of these chemicals? How about caffeine, chocolate? Over eating gives a gluecose rush. Is the joy of life itself composed of the pursuit of one or all of these chemicals?
