Mental Health - March 2007

I have a family member with whom I am very close and have taken care of them for many years. She is now at the point that she can not handle everyday chores anymore and I believe at this point she is a danger to herself but she does not want to leave her house. Has anyone been thru a simular situation? if so, how did you handle it and how did it all work out?

Do you think that this example is any different from deliberately not eating, cutting or getting blind drunk just to blot out something that has upset you?

Ok ever since i was young i've had trouble retaining info, i'd be in calls the only one listening to the teacher and can't remember what she said even though i was paying attention.
I have trouble making eye contact therefor people assume i'm lying to them when i talk.

Concentration people take for granted i can't concentrate to save my life, i find myself dazing off to la la land thinking about other things even though i'm watching t.v (trying). people catch me zoned out staring out the window.
I have way too much energy at work they think i'm on speed!

My jobs have suffered from this because my bosses have to teach me things hands on (visually) in order for me to learn or retain the info.
The only time i'm able to concentrate while driving is if i have radio blaring which makes no sense.

Please any advice i'm soo sick of this.
I'm not stupid and people think i am because they have to keep telling me how to do stuff.
Serious answers please

There seems to be a fundamental (intrinsic) problem in the relationship between a psychiatrist and his or her patient.

It is very often, that failure in the relationship is said to be due to the mental disorder of the patient. I can imagine that this makes the distiction between true relationship/trust/etc failure and the cause being patient disorder difficuilt.

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you sometimes have the feeling that you are going to explode?
at the moment I am studying very very hard for my exams. I didn't passed twice (and I studied hard too) Now I have to do it. I am totally soaked into study. Ok I sport every week but now I have the feeling in my chest that I can't manage it any longer. I am going to react myself at myself. (damage and so) I still try to supress these feelings but it is getting too hard now.

can you give me some tips to make me feel more comfortable and give my inner rest back please.

and study is the most important now (always been) but after I pass I am going to study Biotechnology, I am leaving the house etc. I am really looking forward to that!!

I ask another question because I am in total crisis...
To make things clear, I live in Malta (Europe), I am 17 years old, and this country is turning me into a real crazy person!
Alright, so, as so many of you adviced, I phoned the suicidal hotline here because of my parents... there is only one hotline here, and most of the times the line is busy, or they don't respond.
I also took my sister to the police and she burst into tears in front of them but they didn't care.
Well, briefly this hotline finally betrayed me after spending a night out because I don't want to be in this house, it sent police after me not a social worker, and the police threatened me that they would send me to a mental hospital and they don't believe me on anything I told them about my parents, and last night he was going to kill me if I left him come in here, I ran away from the police station now after wasting many hours there for nothing, and don't know what to do, I'm desperate, I got no one to turn to...

I know I have ADD, but I think he was one of those doctors that doesn't believe in it. I'm SO angry!

Any one got any stories they wish to share?

(If you don't believe in ADD etc, don't bother commenting or I will report you as abuse)

I have a friend who has rarely been able to cry for almost as long as I can remember. It is not that her tear-glands are blocked, it is simply that when she is sad or frustrated, and wants to cry, she can't. Can anyone tell me why this is, or preferably something that she could do to fix this? Or would a doctor be needed? Thank you.

So antidepressants are suppose to help you "cope" with your feelings. But isn't that denying what you are truly feeling? A lot of people (or it might just be a thing where I live) have been taught growing up that they should share their feelings, and not keep them inside. But how are you suppose to share your feelings when they are being changed - modified - by your medications?
