Mental Health - March 2007

For the past couple of days i have not been feeling myself. Yesterday i was really depressed and today i feel no emotions. If you were to ask me how i am i would tell you i don't know because i feel nothing. I have notice that in the past month my depression has been getting slightly worse but it was just every so often and i could still be happy. but now i just feel like things will not get any better and llife just sucks. Also with in the last couple of days i have thought about suicide, not actually doing it but just what it would be like to actually do it. I have also thought about harming myself in different ways, again not actually going to do it but just thinking about what it would feel like. I have been very stressed from my college classes and all the homework, could this be the reason why i feel so depressed??

My ex broke up with me 1 mth ago after 8 mths together.

After 5 mths out of the blue she said she was unsure abobut us. I asked why, I said that we had loads in common & the spark was there, she agreed, but said she wasn't sure. Within 2 hrs she apologised & said she had been down & it made her irrational

Everything was good again for 2 mths then again said she wasn't sure. We both got upset & she said she was really sorry and hated when she was horrible to me. She said that she felt that she held me back (because she has chronic fatigue & is often ill). I said that was never the case and never will be. I suspected she may be depressed as she had that in the past

6 weeks ago she said she "wanted to end things as her feelings had changed over a short period". She admitted she was suffering from depression (her dr agreed)then took it back 1 wk later saying us was the cause of her being down & she wasn't depressed & didn't need help

What do I do?? I would like to be with her

Because I can only answer so many questions, I have to come up with stuff to ask, so this kind of sucks, but anyway here is my question - my next one will be much worse. Okay, so my sister asked where else I was going to travel before I died and when. So I told her.

My goal is to travel to Amsterdam. It is here that I will definitely do heroin, among other drugs. So that is one of my major goals in life: travel to Amsterdam and use heroin.

It is very likely that I will succeed too. So far I had goals of getting 2 college degrees, saving 12,000 dollars in cash, and having a credit score of at least 740. Guess what? Yep, I achieved them all. Is it good for me to be so goal oriented and to have such a goal as I do now?

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.

Our cat (female) has a habbit. At 5am everyday she wakes up up by jumping on the bed and stroking my head with her paw. She does that until I wake up. Then as soon as I open my eyes she cuddles in my arms and wants me to pet her. IF I get up to go to the bathroom, she runs to her food bowl and waits there as if she want me feed her. (she has dry food in her bowl all the time, but we give her a can of wet food in the morning and in the evening) .
I haven't slept past 5am in weeks! Any idea would be greatly appreciated,

I am very worried about a friend of mine. We are both pregnant and have been supportive of each other all the way. My friend, who I will call "Michelle" is a recovering alcoholic who has not had a drink since she got pregnant. She was doing very well, but had terrible insomnia for several months. Finally in late January she decided to try taking Ambien again, even though she had had a problem with it in the past and stopped using it. She was sure she could use it just to sleep and would never do anything to harm her baby. I know that she is taking it again just for the effects, she has even admitted this to me, but I don't know how much she's taking. I do know that when she ran out she had bad feelings of breathlessness, etc. She now has two prescriptions going at once and is scared but doesn't dare try to get help because since she is pregnant she is afraid of what the consequences might be. Can she just stop this gradually by herself and will her baby be okay?

First off, I am 13. Okay, so sometimes when I do my homework, I have sudden urges to do jumping jacks, right? SO my mom says, "X, I think you have ADD*." And so I say, "Can you take me to the doctor to check?" and she says, "You don't have ADD." and it goes on and on and it is driving me crazy, so can you tell me what to do?

I am only 16 and I feel like im falling into major depression.
I havnt been able to sleep all week and I feel like ive developed a huge phobia of not sleeping. The thing is I have no worries at all, im doing well at college, i have great friends and a boyfriend I love.
Sorry to go on but I couldnt sleep before but I put that down to the fact I had a photo shoot the following Sunday and I was panicing if i did not sleep, i would look a wreck!
Last week I couldnt sleep on Monday night but the night after I fell asleep, i was delighted because not sleeping seems to reallly upset me.! Badly.
Before I could sleep for 8hours no problem, bed at 10 up at 6. now. no chance. bed at 10 sleep at 4am if im lucky!
There's only a problem now, because I have made one.
I constantly think about not sleeping, 24-7 it never leaves my mind, i go out with friends or family and I find myself with this horrible feeing and I want to be sick. I have thrown up because of it, i also cant eat. help.!

For starters I was diagnosed with major depression about 20yrs ago so this isn't something new for me. I fell off a ladder at work in May and broke both my heels. I had major surgery in June and I've been home ever since. The doc says I'll never be returning to construction, which I've been doing for about 18yrs. But that doesn't really bother me that much. I am going to get some training for another job. That's actually kind of exciting. What does bother me is this depression. I have a wife and 3 kids(4,12, & 15) and I don't enjoy ANYTHING anymore. And I'm so bored that I don't want to do anything. I know that sounds kind of silly, but that's how it is. I do go to counseling and I am on meds. There's actually a few talents that I have also. I play guitar and paint some pretty nice oil paintings. I just can't even bring myself to do these things anymore. I've lost interest in everything. Please help.
P.S. Please don't give me the positive affermation advice. I've tried. Thanks

A few years ago a Dr. gave me a 4-pack of 200 mg samples of Seroquel. He gave me these for depression. One night I took one. Within an hour I became very disoriented. My sister came over, and I remember trying to have a conversation with her. I could not even remember basic words. I kept trying to tell her that I went to "class" that day, but I could not remember what the word for class was. I felt very high and not in my right mind. I attempted its use one more time and while I slept this time, my dreams and mind were very 'messed up' and scary.

Recently, a different doctor gave me 100 mg doses to aid in sleeping. I didn't tell him about my past experiences. I've been on this dose off and on for awhile. I even took 2 and 300 mg a couple times trying to get that old high. It seemed to have no effect except to knock me out....until 2 nights ago. I took a 200 mg dose and could not believe what happened. Within 30 min., I was becoming really tired. I was trying to watch
