Mental Health - March 2007

im 18 & sr in hs & have 2 months left, but now i have nothing but regrets. I had a very good childhood, all the way up thru 8th grade when things looked promising w/ being very popular & smart & all (now that i look back). However, once in hs i got upset at people (mainly girls) for going for upperclassman & trying to be someone else, to the point where i ended up separating myself from many, including friends of a girl i liked but didnt like me, which lasted 2 yrs. also, i always loved basketball & baseball, but i got so fed up w/ politics that after getting cut soph yr, i gave up when i could have been baseball manager & now be on vars (but didnt). i feel i ran from those problems, trying to find meaning in other things in life & just isolated myself. now, i dont even know why i let basketball affect me (i wasnt that good) but had a good jr yr, & looked good again into sr yr, but after 3 jv soccer yrs, i had to miss tryouts, didnt make vars, & thus only (more below)

well i saw something on the news about dementia the other day, and since then ive ready lots of articles, wikipedia pages on dementia/alzheimers just out of curiousity.
im only 14 and it really scares me that i could get this disease. no matter how many people tell me that i wont get it because it rarely occurs im still paranoid. i even thought that if i killed myself at age 65(the age dementia can start to occur) then it would prevent me from living being paranoid.

my main problem is being paranoid and obsessing over it so much. how can i make myself feel less paranoid?

I checked on wikipedia.com and many other websites to see if what I was having was that and if it was real. Have any of you experienced this? or have you ever heard of it and know the cause of it?

People often ask, what's the best way to treat drug addiction, eating disorders, depression and anxiety etc - is it medication, or is it talking therapy - or both?

You obviously need *some* level of language skill to be able to use cognitive therapy at all - and the more intelligent you are, the stronger your language skills will be.

But on the other hand, if you develop an illness that makes you paranoid, then the more intelligent you are, the more likely you are to come up with really wacky complicated conspiracy theories, which other people will find it hard to talk you out of.

I think crystal meth addiction is particularly worrying. Heroin addiction can be treated with methadone, but there's nothing like that for meth. And in some third world countries, literacy levels are very low. What would the western world do if our poorer neighbours got caught in a meth epidemic? If cognitive therapy doesn't work with people who have learning difficulties, it could be VERY scary!

I am a female with a full beard, so it's natural for me to hold my chin down to minimize ppl from seeing my chin and neck. I keep my head to the ground.It's affecting my entire life. I used to be pretty and self confident, now I'm hairy and it;'s distgusting to even look at me...let alon be me. I hate myself.
I have polycystic ovaries.
Once I came outside in some shorts and a shirt to check the mail my sister 16 told me to go in the house cuase I look bad and nasty. My clothes where clean and so was my body and hair. She just said cuz I've gained weight I look nasty. It's true. I wear a size 18 now and lost my hourglass figure. I just know people think I've thrown myself away. Why should I care, with polycystic ovaries it only get worse. Do u guys have any tips, have u been in this situation or a similar one before?

My friends play around with me and say I'm crazy so today to prove them wrong I went on the internet to look up some stuff and I ended up checking alot of the boxes for the mood disorder Mania. I'm 15 so my mom thinks its either normal or I'm paranoid but either way she refuses to takes me to a doctor or somewhere where I can find out if theres anything wrong with me. Is there anything that I can do or something like that.

Can any one give me sound, 'first hand', experience, of how to come off this antidepressant. I am a mother of two and can not afford to mess my children around. Of course i will go to the doctors also, however i am particuly interested in mood experience and any other nasty effects,,,,how long it took persons etc. First hand experience only please.

How do you/I cope with the anger and unsettlement, when coming off of them please. Anger and children just don't mix and i am terrified of coming off them. I can feel soo terrible. I have been on them for several years. Help!

I can't remember what it's was like to be just me, without them. Did anyone notice that they were sensitive to situations once weened off.
I also seem to have developed a obsessive compulsive tendancy while i am on these...god only knows how this will be when i come off them also. I have been picking my face for 3 years,I am scarred. Apart from all this i am a very cheerful happy person. Really steady.

When I do something wrong, my parents would "talk to me" or "put me in timeout" or if it was something that could kill me, like running out in the road, they would "spank me". What should I do when my Autistic 4 year old runs out in the road? My wife just wants to keep him inside and not deal with it. I want to go out with him, but he doesn't respond to any of the above actions. How can i make him NOT run out in the road, SCREAM loudly, Spit on the carpet, etc...No one has any answers...

I have never really suffered from depression ,yet right now I am having a very bad episode. My father died 8 weks ago . At first I was able to handle everything pretty well with the help of friends and my family. I also had kidney stones and was on some great meds for the pain. It's now been 2 months and I have had surgery for the kidney and I don't have the pain to distract me. I fell like I am about to explode. My children drive me nuts and just the sound of my husbands voice makes me want to jump out a window. I cry all the time. I can't sleep . I don't want to get dressed and stay in my pj's all day..I don't even brush my hair. I am on cymbalta 60 mg per day. is this just normal grieve and if so how long will this last and is there anything else I can do to get back to myself? I'm just a mess!!!!

i am bi polar and lately my mood swings have been very severe. I don't have health insurance and simply cannot afford to pay for the medications that i need each month. I've tried changing my diet, and excericise regularly because i heard that can help, but it just hasn't been helping. My highs and lows are so bad i'm afraid of what i may be capable of doing to myself. Some of the time i feel great! And am happy to be alive, but when i get those lows i don't feel like doing anything but laying in bed. What can i do??? I can't go on like this anymore. It doesn't even take that much to get me in a mood, it just happens. Help me please?
