Mental Health - March 2007

My boyfriend thinks I am bipolar. I sometimes wonder this myself. He said some of the symptoms for it I have. When I get mad I get violent, and he thinks thats a major sign of the disorder, Im also depressed, and very sensitive.
Can someone tell me how I can find out without going to a doctor?

I have schizophrenia. I wanted to know if I can cure this disease by natural way because I don't want to be on medication.

The doctor didn't tell me I have schizophrenia but I know I do because I talk to my imaginary people a lot times of the day. I'm in my own dreamworld most of the time and I'm scared that One day what if people see me talking to myself.

Is there a natural cure, self-help I can do to cure my disease?

I get these times quite frequently when I panic about something stupid, like thinking I've dug my nails into my scalp and ripped my hair out. It's stupid and illogical, because there's no pain on my scalp at all.

my so called good friend X and I went with different friends to my friend's eighteenth birthday bash where the entire grade was invited.
the next day I texted him to joke he hasn't called me in a week and dude are u still alive and asked was he at the party? he texted back to say he was and he did call me to find out where i was at the party. that was obviously a lie because my phone didn't have that missed call record. why did he even bother to lie i mean hey i wasn't confronting him that he didn't look for me during the party.

was it because he felt bad for not even bothering to find out where i was at the party? he felt he should have? these few days he's been IMing me to joke and chat maybe he felt bad and want to make up for it?

Now after he's lying as if I am stupid, I am not so sure if he is a good friend. He is avoiding me on purpose? If not for the lie, I wouldn't have even bat an eyelid that he didn't look for me during the party -I didn't look for him either.

I'm 21, but I have no friends. I don't like going on, I'd rather stay home. In fact, I stay home most of the time. The only time I'm out of the house is when I'm at school or work or running some errands.

The problem is, I don't feel lonely or depressed at all. In fact, I'm rather happy being alone.

Is this normal? Should I change my lifestyle?

My doctor gave me some lexapro. It came in a paitent starter pack or something. I havent noticed much change and i been on it for a week. I noticed if i suck on the pills for a couple seconds they really don't have much of a taste. Is this the way it should taste?

Hi, i have a little fear when it comes to talking on the phone with people i don't know, like if i wanna order food or groceries on the phone some words are hard to come out of my mouth. i somehow have a stuttering problem(since i was a child) but it is much much more worse on the phone(only with people i don't know).

what should i do about it?? i mean i easily ordered pizza on the phone till last year, but suddenly it became like it is now. :(

I started taking 150mg of wellbutrin SR for about 4 weeks,
I had to stop for a while because I had some sort of allergic reation/virus and they wanted to make sure it wasnt from the medication. And I started taking it again and it has been about a week and a half.
My doctor told me that it might not work untill i have a higher dosage because they just wanted to check if I had negative side effects or something.
Whatever allergic reaction or whatnot I had before hasn't come back since I started again.
So when will it start to work? Some days I take more than one pill, I just want it to work asap D:

I have moderate depression that never fully gets better. Some days are worse than others, and lately I feel tearful and sad and lonely. Depression and Bipolar run in my family (both parents). Basically, I have low self esteem, there are very few things that I enjoy and I feel rotten 90% of the time.

I have a wonderful doctor who I have been in long-term therapy with. But somehow, although I can see areas where I have made progress, my MOOD never seems to improve significantly. We've tried many different medications but I am very sensitive to side effects. There was one medication, Celexa, that helped me immensely but I can't stay on it because it makes me gain a lot of weight and causes sexual side effects that I can't tolerate.

What should I do? I'm scared that I'll be living with depression forever. I'm interested in trying Lamictal. Could this be helpful? What should my first choice be?

I have bottled up pretty much every single angry feeling since I was in kindergarten. I am now in ninth grade. I have kept a good lid on it but the jar is starting to crack. I wanted to know if anyone out there is just as mad as I am. I mean at school I'm begging for a fight to erupt. No normal stress relievers work, I don't want to talk either. I mean that I could just walk up to someone and knock them out and step on their face.

I will report abuse if you put a no answer. I only want people who are a little less or equal to answer this.

What does she mean by gifted? Does this sound like bs to you?

Are you gifted? Sometimes highly intelligent people have a problem with hypersensitivity. It is related to the ability to sense emotions too well. Sensitive people often baffle people cuz they get angry or offended when nobody intended to hurt them. Also, they have a super strong sense of "justice" and often feel that things are unjust and are unable to let that go.

If you are a gifted-sensitive, you will not stop feeling those angry hurt feelings. However, it helps a LOT to understand where they are coming from. If you understand that no bad intent is directed at you, and that the reaction is something you can't help, like an allergic reaction, you might be able to deal with it psychologically. Often the anger is related to a sense that you are being unjustly criticized or unfairly disapproved of. When you understand how much of that is due to your giftedness and is not technically "real" it might help.
