Mental Health - February 2007

How can I get myself back together. Yoga, meditation, screaming? This thing is not in my control. If I could, I would turn away from it, but I can't. My psychologist can't help me. I've lost my appetite and am completely distracted. No time to get medication. I need something quick!!!Some quotes maybe?

I worry alot, I apologize for stuff I don't need to, but im a very sociable and confident person at times when I can be. Im on medication for it, and exercise and is thinking of using yoga to keep me balanced.

Does yoga get rid of racing thoughts? Or at least help with it?

I'm in my late twenties and married with 3 kids. I just can't seem to make any friends! I spend all my time with the kids or trying mom groups which are always dismal failures. I'm really tired of feeling so alone. My husband works so much anymore all he does is come home to eat and sleep. I'm starting to think that maybe my personality just sucks because I just don't seem to click with anyone. I'm really starting to hate the at-home mom thing, too, because it is so isolating.

My Doc has prescribed a psychiatric service dog to help me. Does anyone know how to get one?
The PSD ASSN says to pay someone $5-10,000 to have someone train a dog for you. There must be a non-profit organization that trains them like they do for the blind and deaf. My old dog (who trained himself) interrupted my dissociative episodes (a real safety issue when you drive) and panic attacks and made sure I took my meds. He also gave me the confidence I needed to leave the house and interact with people. He died last year and I have regressed terribly. I can't work. I have been hospitalized, I'm back on disability and have more frequent debilitizing episodes. I really need a dog. Can anyone help???

I messed up my knee during a game 4 years ago, with a lot of lasting neurological damage. I'm a 22 years old female. I have to wear a brace for partial foot paralysis. I can deal with that, but for some reason, I have a lot of trouble talking to anyone about it. I can't talk to the doctor, and I can't talk to my friends or family without tearing up. I can sit here right now and think it's no big deal, but in the moment, I fold. What's my problem? Now I'm starting to cry during other scenarios of frustration or anger also. I was never a cryer before. I have to stop this! Should I seek professional help?

Ive had anxiety attacks for about 15 yrs. ive been on and off medication for it. I am extremly afraid of flying in an plane. Its not that Im afraid of crashing, or terroists. im afraid of having an attack on the plane and not being able to leave and walk away if I wanted to. I know this doesnt make sense to a person that doesnt have this...it seems to be only in the mind, but its something thats hard to control. Anyways...i was on a train once and they had to stop the train and let me and two children out in the middle of the desert once because I was having a full blown attack.

I want to visit my 90 yr old grandma very badly that is 3,000 miles away. I am unable to take the time off to drive. Shes not going to b around much longer and Im so bummed that because of this condition, I may never see her again. I was thinking about taking a pill that would knock me out for 7 hrs on the plane. Has anyone done anything like this b4? How would the airplane staff treat it? Any advice?

HI.I have had depression for 10 years plus.It's been pretty much untreated because the meds give me bad side effects or they stop working after a while.It's gotten so bad,I know I need to get back on something.I've tried almost every antidepressant available.SSRI's like zoloft and celexa make me so apathetic and indifferent that I become worthless,caring about nothing. Effexor made me gain 30 lbs.Wellbutrin gave me alot of anxiety.My question is,does anyone have success stories about using an SSRI at the same time as Wellbutrin.I liked the way wellbutrin made me feel more focused and energized,but the anxiety was too much.I was thinking putting an SSRI in the mix would help curb that a bit since it is more calming.I think the wellbutrin would also help curb the apathetic feelings from the SSRI.My insurance doesn't cover Psychiatrists and I can't afford out of pocket.I need to get the drugs from my primary doctor but wanted to ask some of you to share your experiences with mixing the 2.

I was diagnosed over a year ago with ADHD & Bipolar Disorder. I am on 4 different meds. I caused a lot of financial issues for me and my husband before I was diagnosed. I wrote checks knowing there wasn't money in the bank. I was a compulsive shopper. It made me high, like being on good drugs. Although, once I got home or down the road I would feel guilty and have at times taken things back where I got them. I had to go to court, community service & cold check class over these checks. I tried to hide it from my husband, but the sheriff showed up here 2 or 3 times and thats how he found out. They are all taken care of now. Today he recieved a letter from a credit card I had gotten in his name over a year ago and have been unable to pay the balance. They are going to garnish his checking account. He told me this "you know I could kill you". This is not the first time I have done this sort of thing. It is causing me to be even more depressed.

I am 16 years old, in high school, and live in the United States. I have some major paranoia issues that are really controlling my life. I do not even feel safe in my own home. I have been living this certain way for a few months now and I cannot take it anymore.

I am afraid to say that the list of my issues would be a tad long for yahoo answers.

What I would like is for someone to email to tell about my problems to (preferably someone who specializes in psychology or someone who knows about Paranoia).

Thanks

im 22, when i was 16 i started getting depressed and for the next 4 years it got worse and worse, and finally to a point where it was debilitating. Then one day it went away. For two years i thought i finally beat it with out drugs or therapy. Recently I've been really stressed and have felt the warning signs coming back. My problem lies in that im too proud to ask for help, too against drugs to take anything for it, and too manly to pour my heart out to anyone. I really don't like the idea of just opening up cause i don't want to sound like i'm whining, i can't stand people who whine. I can't talk to my family about it, we don't have that kind of relationship. And recently i've pushed everyone so far away no one's left. So what do i do? I don't want to go through depression again, its the worst thing in the world to have to tackle on your own. I guess i'm really just asking one of you to convince me to do something outside of my comfort zone. Any shrinks out there?? thanks.

That is the safest and has very little side effects?
I am only 26 and I need to start taking that but I am not sure which one is the best. My doctor prescribed Lexapro but I got scared when I read about it's possible side effects on some message boards.

Thanks for your help
