Mental Health - March 2007

It is killing me. My moms house is a total mess! You can't see her furniture, loaded up, a path in the livingroom, clothes & junk, all 3 bedrooms are packed to the hilt! Clothes hanging from the door jams, can't see her kitchen table, or chairs, or counters, a path to the sink if ya don't fall, chairs loaded up, the floors are packed, can't get in the basement, just a small path to the washer & dryer, she has 5 kids, won't let anyone in or help her. I am her closes daughter & today she wouldn't let me do anything, had excuses "nope I am looking for papers" "I will get to it" she doesn't go out or drink, tears garbage up in little tiney pieces, half to walk sideways to get into the 1/2 bathroom. It is sickening & I fear she will trip. This is part of my anxiety, I love her but she gets mad at me. Throws nothing out, won't turn any lights on in the dark so the neighbors don't see her. Dad died 1996 & his stuff still in the house. Won't see a Dr. She is a very dear person to me.

I'm experiencing liver pain. It takes me 2 or 3 days to recover from a hangover, now. I know that I drink to deal with stress, but I have to stop.

why am I so afraid to die? I know it can't be stopped and one day it will happen. I don't want to leave my kids before they're grown, but I can't control death. Why is it I am afraid of something that everyone has to do?

Since 1999 I have been on Celexa, Wellbutrin, Lexapro at different times. Then Zoloft from for 1 year, then replaced Zoloft w/ Seraquel 50mg this past December to February 07, didn't like that then couple of weeks ago I was put on generic Wellbutrin SR 150 2x's& made me so sick, crying, extremely nervouse, so worried, sick to my stomach, couldn't function. So my new doctor took me off that. All I have is Xanax. It's been 5 days w/ no antidepressents, just Xanax if I need it. Will I have withdrawls or am I passed that? I think the Xanax is making me sick too when it wares off. I don't want any more withdrawls or feeling sick where I can't function. No medicines are helping me. I have anxiety and depression. Will I get by on nothing? I didn't need any Xanax today & did better. All this sickness is a pain in the a _ _ ! Will I be normal now or will I get sick again like being on the Wellbutrin??????????? Someone please tell me.....thanks gotta get better so I can get to work.

Ever since my son was born earlier this year (he will be 10 months at the end of March), I have had so much anxiety. Being a new mother comes with new experiences, anxieties, etc. I am having anxiety and thoughts about having another child. I dont want my son to grow up w/o a sibling, but i dont know if we (my husband and myself) can go through it again. It has been stressful on our marriage, but we love each other very much.. i also dont know if i can handle another child. i feel so overwhelmed by my son, not anything HE does, it is me. I also am soo in love with him, i dont know if i can love another. and yet, when i see him playing alone in his crib, i get so sad that he wont have a brother or sister. maybe it is too early to think about it, but i am 37 adn dont want to wait too long..any advice?

Obviously the question is directed at those who were sexually abused (inc. as children).

Sometimes my memories of these events feel hazy, as if I dreamt them. At an age in life where I didn't know it was sexual abuse. I don't know if my brother or stepsisters remember it ever happening either, and that's make me doubt my memory even more. My Mum calling me a liar when I told her about it made me feel even more insecure.

The only thing I know is that one memory is so haunting that I know this pain couldn't be product of imagination.

Does anyone who was sexually abused ever feel like these memories are hazy and almost unreal? I'm having lots of trouble coping with the supressed memories these days.

Okay I know I have and eating dosorder but I really don't know which one....

I know i have a problem with eating and I'm trying to get help but I just don't know what I have...


I've lost 30lbs in like the last 2- 2 1/2ish months.

I make myself throw up like 2 or 3 times a week.

But I also count calories and never eat over 1200.

I'm still at a normal body weight but i think thats because I started out over weight.

I was taking deit pills and using ditrim max H2Ostuff for a while but when people found out they took it away.

I run a lot...But not too much!

I was just wondering if some one could tell me what is wrong with me?

I have been on the stuff for 9 months and it seems that my memory has become worse, like to the point where I can't remember an idea I had 5 seconds ago. Also, since being on this stuff I feel like more of a zombie, (I seem to be doing more staring into space or staring at the floor, things like that). Anyone have these experiences, or any advice?

The child was abused physically and sexually by her step-father, from the ages of 6 to 15 years. The once child is now a grown woman. The man (her step-father) is dying. He has been diagnosed with intestional cancer; it is estimated he has about 6 months left to live.

The woman's mother never believed her daughter's allegations. Her two siblings (this is their biological father) believed her, as they were witness to many of the beatings (although they were never hit or sexually abused themselves... Thank God). Over the course of the years, this family has come to an odd sort of stasis... but this situation, I believe, is going to blow that stasis right to the moon and back.

Any advice? Has anyone ever experienced the death of their abuser? Looking back, what type of things do you wish you'd had in place for yourself?

I can't understand why, but ever since I have been a kid I have always been afraid of loud engines. I think they sound cool when I am far enough away from them, but if I'm standing right next to a car with no muffler or any really loud engine, I completely freak out.

An example, I was over at a buddy’s house a couple years ago and he was showing me his car he was building for a demolition derby. He then decided to start it up, and I completely lost my mind. Was jumping all over the place with my hands covering my ears like a child caught in the middle of an artillery bombardment. It was really embarrassing but I couldn’t help it.

If I’m at a parking lot and I see an old beat up car I just can’t help but feel the car has no muffler on it. If my car is parked next to one, I am generally very hesitant about going to my car until the car has left, especially if there is someone in the car waiting in the drivers seat. If I do go to unlock my door I frantically fumble with my keys trying to unlock my drivers door as quickly as possible so I can climb into the safety of my car, and usually end up dropping my keys.

Yet, even with this stupid phobia, I have no problem using our big blower without ear protection (which is pretty loud) or our riding lawn mower. It's just seems to be with the extreme backfiring, the deep rumble, and the unpredictable high revving of the standard automobile engine without any muffler on it.

I also love loud music, concerts, and I can even stand at the end of an airport and watch jets land right over me and I have no problem with those loud sounds. Same with firing shotguns, rifles, thunder, and watching fireworks, they just don’t bother me.

When I was an infant my mother told me biological father used to abuse me (not sexually) by beating me with wood spoons until I had welts because I wouldn’t stop crying. She also told me he once ran a vacuum cleaner over me and she said I was screaming and crying like crazy. God knows what else he did to me, but I sometimes wonder if this fear had something to do with that. I also had an adoptive father that was an at home mechanic when I was really young, and maybe that has something to do with it. I don’t know.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can get rid of this fear? Can anyone relate to this? It must sound extremely crazy and weird I’m sure, it does to me as well. I feel like that guy that was afraid of peaches on Maury lol. Anyway, any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
