Mental Health - February 2007

Hey I just posted this in a different category -- but I want a wide variety of answers, if possible.

I have a roommate who I've known for years and she has a drinking problem. When she's sober, she's fine. Everytime she gets drunk she says really mean, hurtful, backhanded things to me. She doesn't get mean with everyone. Only a select few (I'm one...lucky me). We used to be close, but I can't tell her personal things because she uses them against me later (mocking me... trying to make me feel bad). She also gets offended that I don't really tell her things anymore. I have 9 more months on the lease and I need to figure out how I can handle this? I can't talk to her about it because she gets defensive and angry and takes it out on me. It will only make my life worse. She is a lost cause. I just need to figure out how to cope with living with her until the lease is up. Moving is not an option right now (very difficult to find a place in my city). Any advice?

Any thoughts? It seems like a lifetime process but it has to begin somewhere, right?

My family has a long history of depression/bipolar disorder. I'm pretty certain that I have it, too. My parents, on the other hand, don't think so (and WILL NOT think so) because my symptoms, (though proven to be symptoms of bipolar disorder) are not the same as everyone else's in my family. They've read internet sites about symptoms and everything, but refuse to acknowledge that I may have it. How can I convince them to take me to someone who knows what they're doing?

i asked one close friend for her honest opinion, she agreed
so i asked her these questions- what do you like of me and what messages do you think i give out.
i asked these for a reason this is cause i have been depressed and i am wanting me back the only way i can do this is by finding out surely how i have been and get rid of neg thoughts. after a couple of texts they replied saying they think i should talk to some1 professional.
how would you re-act if a friend asked you them 2 questions?
Thanks

PLEASE no sarcastic answers. This is a genuine problem. I have a horrific short term memory - it's gotten me in trouble before. It's not that I don't listen, I do, I even write things down (I have a house and office full of notes), but it's as if the memory didn't happen. What's going on? It's affecting my life. I suffer anxiety and depression and I was bullied at my last job which made things worse, so much so that I was forgetting important things and how to do my work and had to go on sick leave for a month before finally leaving that godforsaken hole. It's gotten better since leaving that place, but it's still very much there. Mad thing is I can remember vividly stuff that I shouldn't like my first birthday, my first day at school, conversations years ago etc.

I am a lot ofthr times either crying or happy rupset. I cant deal with it anymore. I wish for once someone is my life understood what I am going throug and actually took the time out of their schedule ro help me. Its not fair anymore. My friend Jackie trys to understand me and help but she doenst understand that I am constyantly like this. I mean my friends go on ith their lives and I am left behind. Ther only girl who understands me is Jackie and Jamie. I am so tired of being the way I am. How all the girls at school are like a size 0 and I am not. Just because I am not a size 0 does not mean I am not beutiful. I am me and I cant change that. My friends dont even care I am so sick and turedof having to put a smile on my face when all I want to do is cry. I cant even cry in front of my boyfriend without him worrying.
