Mental Health - February 2007

I have taken 2 overdoses in the past 3 months, gone to get help a couple more times because I've been suicidal, I'm on antidepressants (been on venlafaxine since december) and I've recently started CBT. Went to see a psychiatrist at a day hospital that I have to go and see every so often and he said that the crisis team were really busy and he probably wouldn't have much luck getting me referred to them. So basically if I have a big problem and want to kill myself then it has to be between 9 and 5 mon- fri. Or do I have to harm myself and get admitted to hospital yet again? What does it take? I live in Britain by the way

I want to buy Prozac, but can't find it on any of the internet sites, even though it used to be all over the place, like viagra! Can anyone point me to a site that does sell it and ship it to the UK?

I suffer from depression and panic attacks, I have noticed that when i am having a bad day I just want to listen to loud music - at the moment Evanescence loudly works best on my moods. But i have noticed others with similar habits, I want to know what it is about this type of music that seems to help.

I have seen patients leave a mental hospital within five to seven days. How do doctors keep them in for longer—let’s say 6 months? Does health insurance have anything to do with their prolonged stay?

I was wondering if at rehab clinics and the 72 hour places at the hospital, you know just health places that do in patient care, what do you do to get in? Also, how do they check you? Do they strip check you, cavity check, what?

I'm 20 years old (female) and was raped by my (now) ex-boyfriend and 2 of his friends while under the influence. They said that it was consentual, but I don't truly feel that it was since I was gang-raped by all three of them when I was under the influence of drugs and alcohol...and three men against one woman seems a bit much. I do not remember agreeing to participate, and am very scarred from what happened. My depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety are noticibly worse since the incident. Is there anyone that can offer some help on how to get through this hard time?

why do we always dream of things that are impossible to happen? nothing is normal about them. i dont even look the same, i cant even see myself... unless im looking in a mirror - or im someone else. nothing makes sense. then, why do i wake up thinking it really just happened? why does my head feel like i was in a time warp, all dizzy and incoherent. still there, in the dream, trying to convince yourself that you're awake now. that you should come out of it, but you remember so much. every little detail and color and smell.... every feeling. upset and out of breath. probably with a body part tingling from it falling asleep.

For the past four years, I have been waking up to the sound of Kncoking. Three knocks in a row, on a wooden door.

When it first started, I would check the door, but no one was there. It took me a bit to realize the sound wasn't really happening.

Is this a sign of anything? Does anyone else have this problem? I hear the knocking about 3-4 every week anymore, and it's very irritating.

I recently asked a question stating that ADHD is overly diagnosed and could be just made up, people who answered were comparing ADHD to alzheimers and autism. Are these anywhere comparable, considering ADHD is a disorder and autism and alzheimers are diseases.

I have been cutting my self for less than a year and I have found the self cutting is getting worse. I have only cut the inside of my arms but as of tonight I started cutting my stomach. I do suffer from sever depression and do become very suicidal at times, but have had a few days now where I am doing ok and functioning better but still have the urge to cut my self. Has this happened to anyone before?. Where I live there is no real help avalable despite the endless searching and with the lack of medical insurance only adds to the problem. Any sincer input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
