Mental Health - February 2007

Sometimes, when I'm in a grouchy mood ... I should just refrain from answering questions Y! Q&A. At times, I say things I shouldn't, and I think I hurt people's feelings. I'm not normally like this ... and feel awful afterwards. Does anyone else do this?

When I was 15 my mom commited suicide (addiction problems)and my father died in cancer a few months later. Was sent to a foster home by the social services. It was terrible there, they treated me very badly. Left when I was 18, have gotten a job and an apartment now. Feels like I've missed out on a big chunk of teen age life, like fx dating, girlfriends and such. My life feels very hard and extremely lonely.
Am afraid that my experinces have made me into an unlovable who cant fucntion with other people. I suffer from social phobia, trouble trusting other people etc. Is currently on antidepression meds + counselling.
Dunno what my question is, maybe will I always be lonely the rest of my life?

Thought Id ask the world for some advice. I live in Europe btw if that is important.

I've been having some severe issues recently, and I've no idea how to deal with them, partially because I don't completely understand what it is that they are. These days, things have been getting so difficult to do, and I feel as if my mind is falling apart.

Sometimes I'll read words that I knew only a couple of years ago, and I won't be able to remember what they mean, and I'm not talking about your typical "difficult" SAT words, I mean words that are thrown around often. The other side of this is that I just won't be able to remember a word that I'm wanting to use; for example, I forgot the word souvenir recently.

Last year I took Algebra 2 Honors, and I passed with straight A's. This year, i'm taking Pre-Calculus, and I'm struggling with the review of stuff that I could do last year. I failed the last quiz.

I'm also suffering from the typical existentialism, self-esteem issues, the works.

So what's wrong with me, how the hell do I deal, ect?

I'm much too young for this. :]

life is a blur

i dont feel no bonds with people and i dont feel no emotion these days, feels like nothing is real

What could happen to me with effexor and alcohol. Everybody is like don't drink with it, I highly don't recommend. What happens, does anyone know? Does it make your tolerence really low or something or make you do stupid things? I just started effexor xr 37.5 mg and I want to go out and drink tonight, but if i'm not supposed to drink much on the effexor then I should be cautious. After 2 weeks I will be up to 150 mg and it will probably be more of a concern then. Thanks for the answers. :)

My brain knows that death is inevitable for everyone, but I can't get it to sink into my heart realistically. One friend of mine for instance is a very magical person. Everyone that meets him or knows him loves him unconditionally. He has many friends (almost a 'fan' like following), and everyone clamours to be around him. He is a great person in many ways, but unfortunately he is addicted to 2 very bad drugs. He has been since he was a teen. He is very functional in all other ways but I know that his life will be cut short because of his addictions. I know that death is natural, but I so, so, so dread with all of my heart, mind, body, and soul that sad day when I hear the news of his passing. How can I be more realistic about this? How can I be more realistic in accepting the inevitability of death in general? Thank you for your thoughtful comments and advice.

I get flu-like symptoms. Zaps when I turn my eyes in their eyesockets. I feel basically like I'm going insane. I know that this is all because of the lack of paxil. It is not my original depression returning. My original depression was not even 1/3 as severe as these withdrawal reactions.

The guy i have a crush on, and am probably going to date tells me these things sometimes like, once he said he was 16, and now he's telling me he's 17, he's saying "I only said i was 16, cuz i thought you liked younger guys".

I think he lies to me about being suicidal, but i can just say "Hey, your not suicidal" i mean come on, i know what its like to really be suicidal and have people you love not beileve you, he's telling me he's suppost to be going to a mental hospital, but i know for a fact he would not be on a "Waiting list" for a mental hospital out side of government protection!

*Sigh* Now he's saying he got this one night stand girl pregenet, her name is Sarah, and that s all he'll tell me....please....someone help me, tell me if this is all just lies, or if its true, what should i do to find out?

Okay, so I'm 25, married and have kids. When I was a kid... I was always teased for one reason or another. My hair was too long, my boobs were too big or I was fat. I'd get laughed at for my laugh or get exchanged for a different friend. As I got older I got involved with guys and they never seem to take "no" for an answer. And if I said "yes" too fast, then I'm "easy" (even if it's not all about the sex).
My career has been Entreprenuerial, yet I've worked hard - extra hours, long days, unpaid advertizing or marketing (like attending a parade and handing out fliers - on the weekend - for no pay). I've been screwed out of big money and small money... doesn't matter the size... the point is... I got screwed.

I've had friends the same way... turn their backs on you after good friendships.

I'm kind, loyal, fun to be around, work hard, have a big vision for life, am a humantarian and have a goal. Why do I keep getting my goals stomped on and not get the support I need to grow?
