Mental Health - March 2007

I'm schooling now, and I know that when people think they've screwed up a test, they get upset and maybe shed some tears over it. But eventually, they snap out of it. In my case, it's like I'll keep worrying about the test to no end, and then I'll find even more mistakes (which sometimes may not even have existed) and I have to keep talking myself out of this mild depression I go into whenever I feel I've done bad on a test/ exam or just something I want.

For instance, I had a chemistry practical test two weeks ago, and for a whole week, I wouldn't stop worrying about it. In fact, I had to keep talking myself out of the depressed mood I'd go into, and eventually it became like a mantra whereI had to reassure myself that things would work out fine.

My friends all find me very stressed whenever certain important things roll around. It's like I just can't snap out if it.

Please help! If there's anything I can do, I'd do it because worrying excessively ruins my day completely!

How do I "deal" with or "help" my boyfriend who has helped me and dealt with me and my anxiety disorder for the past 8 months that we've been falling in love? I've had him keep up on his meds and make Dr. appt. to get more help but what do I do in our relationship to help? He gets paranoid sometimes and goes over the line. How do I talk to him about it? How do I get through to him?

My mother, and my uncle on my mothers side and his daughter have bipolar disorder, now I'm hearing that I may have it too, but what is bipolar disorder really? I just thought I was depressed.

My partner has always been anxious but it is now worsening to the point where our lives are becoming more and more inhibited. It started off as ' not liking flying' or not coping well in stressful situations. However this has progressed to not flying, going on a train, a ferry or car distances over three hours. Also he does not want me to travel as he gets more anxious if I am not with him. This is spreading to the point where he is not willing to attend my brothers wedding, which hurts me and offends my family. I really want to help and support him. He is my future and I love him very very much. However, I feel that if I bow to pressure and not see my family so much whom i see around four times a years (they do not live in this country) I feel that this will benefit neither if us, and i am already beginning to feel resentful. I do not want to 'encourage' this behaviour althogh i am aware that he cannot help it. It is really beginning to drain me as i want to be supportive.

I am a 21 yr old guy. I had finished my graduation. I find it difficult to speak boldly in front of a group of people. Even I find it difficult with my class mates when they are in group. My mouth and hands get starts to shivering. And many people have noticed it. I feel ashame of myself. I cant control shivering. It comes automatically. And I cant speak boldly because of that. I have good knowledge. But when I am in front of a group of people I cant communicate properly. I am shivering and cant speak properly which sometimes leads to tears in my eyes in front of those people. I am in a good profession. But these incidents are a shame to me and it spoils my image. I want to speak boldly without any fear in front of any group of people( especially literal people ). Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For instance, when I go for a walk, I get very angry when anyone else is around.
I always feel like people are watching every move I make and it causes me great anxiety. I long to be alone because then I know nobody is watching me.
If I am around other people, I only enjoy myself when I am drinking. As a direct result, I drink very frequently.
I work in an office and I can hardly get any work done because there are people around me constantly and it bothers me so much.
This is affecting my job performance and almost every aspect of my life.
What is wrong with me and how can I rid myself of these feelings? Please Help!

Thank You.

Does anybody have any idea why bipolar individuals do things without thinking? Why do they have a higher divorce rate, ( 90%) than normal people? Why are they so sexually charged?

I know I have OCD and I don't know if this is the cause of the problem I'm going to describe.

I'm schooling now, and I know that when people think they've screwed up a test, they get upset and maybe shed some tears over it. But eventually, they snap out of it.

I'm not sure if I am suffering from anxiety. I have no problems in life but I seem to worry about small things like bills, money, having to buy a new car, my relationship with my boyfriend. I'm actually creating more problems by thinking the way I do as my boyfriend cant seem to understand why I'm so down all the time.
I moved 70 miles from home so we could buy a house and be together and its been stressful as I dont know anyone in the area. Ive only recently started to feel this way. I thought it had something to do with the pill so I came off that, now Im taking vitamin B to help with the mood swings but I cant seem to stop feeling low.
I know me and my boyfriend are passed the honeymoon stage of our relationship but I cant seem to get used to the relaxed, stable stage we are in. I crave his attention and affection most of the time.
Why cant I just relax and enjoy life? Am I suffering from anxiety?

I don't mean like suicidally depressed or utterly miserable, just a bit depressed. Life has less colour than it ought to; I'm in a good relationship, have a lovely family and an adorable baby, I live in a nice apartment in a good neighbourhood, my job is okay and I get Friday's off to stay home with the baby...

Nothing is really terribly wrong, but it all feels a bit flat.

i'm pretty sure that if I died in my room with the door closed that no one would notice for at least a week, even my parents. eventually my parents might start to notice the smell, but i'm pretty sure they wouldn't notice i was missing. if i died someplace else away from home then they might not ever notice except if someone happened to find the body and the police managed to find my parents.

I particularly want people who have used the service to reply.
Does the medication help or hinder?
Would you like help other than medication?
Do the health care workers trust you enough to encourage your personal amitions?
