Mental Health - February 2007

i am 23 year old man. since my teenage, i have realised that i have almost no desicion making power. i keep on thinking forever to take a simple decision. i don't think that i am very low on confidence, but my voice and my hands start shaking, whenever i am in a nervous situation. i feel like any average built man can beat me up, if i mess with him. i always fascinate about having sex with girls but i feel uncomfortable even talking to them. do i need a psychiatrist? am i mentally ill?
could anybody please give me any good suggestions.

More than half of america is overweight. This is maily due to overeating. Sugar is highly addictive. It is everywhere. And at the rates it is consumed it causes all sorts of long term internal damage and massive painful withdrawls when the user quits (Which is nearly impossible since almost everything now has sugar in it). So why is this so accepted when addiction to things like alcohol, heroin, meth etc is considered weak and makes you a bad person?

I believe I have been correctly diagnosed with Bipolar disorder based on my confidence in my doctor as well as matchin all of the symptoms. However, since this diagnosis... a mood stabelizer has been added to the medicine I already take for depression/anxiety/adhd. I was on Geodon (worked at first then caused panic attacks, etc.) and then on Risperdal (no energy/zombie/similar side-effects to Geodon but not as bad). As of today, my doctor is trying me on Abilify. I'm just curious as to whether my symptoms are possibly becoming worse because of these new mood stabelizers or just because I am going through a 'despressive episode' with the Bipolar disorder. Im just frustrated and confused. Any similar experiences from anyone or opinions?

READ WHOLE THING PLEASE BEFORE ANSWERING... i asked a question yesterday if there was anyone in their early 20's receiving disability for being bipolar. a woman started bashing my need for the disability due to her neice who is autistic not receiving adequate help... now when i emailed her telling her that im sorry about her neice but it had nothing to do with me, she replied that im the one who asked the question.... DID MY QUESTION HAVE ANY THING AT ALL TO DO WITH HER ANSWER OR IS SHE JUST USING IT AS A FORUM TO HER OWN CAUSE? (thanks to all who respond. I just feel the need to ask someone else what this lady's opinion of disabilty has to do with my wanting to know if anyone my age hassuccessfully recieved benefits)

I have a myspace account without photos of me or my real name. The man who raped me 10 years ago has requested to be my friend. I looked at his profile because I felt I had too. As screwed up as this world is he has gone to school for the exact same thing as me. He working in the same industry as me. His birthday is the exact same date as my current boyfriends. I know I should deny him as a friend. But I feel flooded with emotions and I feel like I have regressed to 10 years ago. I just don't know how to handle how I feel. I feel like I did 10 years ago. I am also freaked out about the career and birthday thing. Can anyone relate?

Why is it when you tell a doctor or psychiatrist you self harm, the first thing they ask is "what do you use to harm?"

Why do they do that? Why do they not ask something else like "why do you think you do this?" or something like that.

Surely what instrument is used is not of importance!

I am currently taking 225mg of Effexor XR a day for panic disorder. After being on this medication for about 4 months, I have developed depression and lack of motivation. So, the doc has put me on 150 mg of Wellbutrin XL a day. Just wanted to know if anyone else out there is taking this medicine combination and if it has helped. I also take Klonopin in the evening as a sedative. Thanks for all your answers in advance :)
