Mental Health - March 2007

i suffer with a chronic mental illness, borderline personality disorder. i live in my own small flat on benefits and have never worked in all the 16 years ive been suffering with this. ive never made any friends or managed to form any relashionships with any girls. i have very low self esteem. im often daydreaming about the life i would really like and are angry and gutted that things have turned out like this. i wish i lived in another existance somewhere else with happiness, security, friends and relashionships. for a start i wanted to emmegrate from the uk and wish with a passion i wasnt here. i dont mind empathy, from genuine kind people, but i hate to be felt sorry for..grrrr.hate that. the other day i phoned the samaritans helpline at 3am as i awoke from a nightmare and was in the grip of a terrible low depressive mood. i spoke to a patronizing. condesending, yorkshire woman samaritan. she made me feel like i wanted to smash her head repeatedly against a brick wall. she said

then I was suppose to go back to the doc....but for some reason I couldn't at that time(two months ago) I felt and still feeling so good after I took those medications for over a month......I was wondering if the depression and anxiet will return because I didn't continue with the doc?
how long do people usually take medications when they're slightly depressed?

I need a good, big sleeping tonight! There are big decisions behind me, and now I feel free, but also exhausted!
I wish everyone to be able to change his/her life, find someone to listen to her/him, and have a big-big-big sleep! No horkey!

A old friend and lover of mind, apparently is bipolar. He has had religious halluctions and delusions or granduiar, parinonia , He is obsessed with religion, the internet, and believes he is being opressed by political persecusion. Some of the time he is okay, he is very intellegent. He is a good person basically, At one time I loved him very much. His family has disowned him. He hasn't worked on a public job in the 3 almost 4 yrs. that he has been this way. I have talked with him till I'm am about to give up, At this time I am the closest friend . He will not seek medical help . He believes the rest of us is crazy. He stays on the internet about 18 hrs a day. He is convinced that the end of the world is coming very soon and he will have a key religious up coming role in this. He fits every description of bipolar there is. We have no sexual relationship, he uses religion, to more or less cop out, on this one, no sex before marriage. No Marriage now, no woman religious enough

i have started taking lexapro and Lamictal for 2 weeks now, and i have seen a drastic change in my personality. I am TOO mellow, showing no emotion and saying things i normally wouldnt,

i dont notice at the time but my dear friend has told me of how i am acting. i cant control it and he knows it, but i feel its hurting him because i show no emotion.

(i am suffering from manic,somadic and clinical depression and anxiety as well as bipolar)

my question is, will it stop seeing how i have just started or is it the combonation, or somthing else?

I have Tourette's Syndrome, & every time I have a tic or an outburst, people say that's inappropriate or unacceptable. & when I tell them what I have & tell them I can't control it, they tell me that I'm making up excuses, & they STILL punish me. I shouldn't have to suffer consequences for what I can't control. Like for example, why punish me for uncontrollably blinking my eyes?

I feel suicidal, depressed, & stressed out because no one cares about me, & I have all these problems, & no one to turn to for support, except for 1 person. No one cares about my struggles, I'm always being excluded from social activities for being TOO NICE & HELPFUL, everytime I do a good deed for someone, society makes it out of a wrong-doing. People make it like I don't have a right to live, sleep, eat, & breathe. If I go buy cereal & milk for breakfast, people get in my business, saying I'm spending my $$ irresponsibly, & then when I eat it, people call me fat & greedy.

But when I make suicidal threats, people want to have me mentally hospitalized. I'm tired of being taken advantage of & treated like a dog by family & society & being stabbed in the back. I feel sad every day. My boyfriend even acts like he's bored when I tell him what I'm going through. With other people, when I tell them about my symptoms of my mental illnesses, they say I'm making up excuses, which I'm not.

I just want to disappear. Go away forever. I sleep a lot. Nothing makes me happy anymore. I'm tired of trying SO hard at everything only to achieve nothing, OR just to be hurt by people. I just wish I was dead sometimes. What should I do?

i haven't went to the doctor to have them tell me that i have a cleaning problem, but from what people say and me now noticing that i am a neat freak, clean-aholic.. so now my question is, why can't people be put on something for being "lazy, dirty, bum's"? i always thought "cleanliness was closer to godly-ness", so why is being clean a disorder????? that is my only question!

I stress out over EVERYTHING! And my mom does too and my sisters do, my grandma does. Is it hereditary? It's not that I get mad at everything, it's just I always feel tense and worried about everything, even little things. I feel like there isn't enough time in a day to do everything I need to do. My life is at real turn point right now because I just finished high school and I'm going into Med school in Sept. I'm really nervous about it. Is there such thing as being too stressed out? Is there something that a doctor may prescribe in order to help me relax a little? What can I do?

Why is it that i cant seem to realize things into after they happened? As a sr in hs, i havent really been able to figure things out until its over. i feel like im always 2 steps behind, & just never really new who i was & what i wanted till now, or at least i just didnt realize it. i put too much stock in stupid little things & not stayiong true to myself. i let things like girls & their friends dtermine my mood & how i act, & i feel ive been too busy about others to the point where it would have all worked if i just didnt try & care NEARLY as much. i had talents for soccer & baseball, i wasnt the best, but if i just pursued them a lot harder i would have been on vars for both. i didnt put enough time in myself, & just could never relly figure out what i wanted & wht ws good for me. i lost complete connection with my brother in college & family & never had a mentor to help me out. now that i realize everything, im off to college & lost again, except now w/ regrets with me. why??

I am 14 years old, and I live a normal life. The only stress I get is school related, totally normal stuff. I have NEVER done drugs, not even cigarettes, whip-its, or alcohol. Oddly, though, if am looking at the sky all I can see are the small things "swimmin" around. It's like what you'd see if you looked through a microscope. Actually, more sea-monkey like. And they're just floating there, in front of where I'm looking. Also, I was at an after school club, and I swore it looked like it was raining inside. Not just for a second, for the whole time. Yesterday I was walking to bed and Ithought I saw a drop of water land in front of me, and there was nothing there. I'm somewhat worried about my mental health at this point. Can anyone explain this? And please, I don't want to get 50 answers saying, "Get to a doctor, hon." I would like some explanation if possible, but if not, that's okay.

Lately, we have been talking about a very sensitive subject that is difficult for me to talk about. I've been wanting to avoid going to her sessions. I've been apathetic towards most people around me, bitchy, rude, angry. Is that normal? I keep getting headaches and feel sad in this environment. What's going on? I'm 19.
