Mental Health - April 2007

Lately I been depressed and images of hanging myself have been going through my mind and for some reason it puts me in a better mood. This is not right. I just need some one to talk it out with so I can let it out. No, I am not seeing a doctor. Just been having a rough time lately and need someone to talk to about it.

Ok in the morning I have no modivation, except that I have to go to school. I get to school and can't concentrate on anything. I'm so lonely all the time, even while I'm around people. I often wonder whats the point of life, and I really don't know anymore. I feel I am a failure, and am worthless. I pretend to be happy, for my friends and family. I don't plan on killing myself, but I think about it sometimes (i think no one would care if I killed myself, I might as well). I cry a lot, about nothingness. I have very bad headaches, and am always tierd. I am a lot crankier than I used to be, and don't talk as much. I am so overwhelmed with school, I have around 5 hours of homework a night, all from one teacher. I tryed talking to her, but she didn't care. It usually takes me about an hour to fall asleep, because I keep myself awake worrying. I am sometimes happy though, but not very often. Is this depression, or am I just having a bad time in my life?

I have the impression that Prozac, far from helping with mood swings, desensibilizes people and can cause slight paranoia. However, I would like to know the opinion of long-term users.

I've got alot of things going on, and i mean alot and its stressing me out to no end. I find it that the stress becomes easier to manage when i dont eat. Dont judge me, i just feel like at least i can do something right. My dad has threatened to send me to an eating disorders clinic if i ever get one but i dont have one ,i just dont want to eat. And its my choice so thats that. But the last thing i want is to be hospitalised over nothing, so how do i hide my ...lack of appetite from my family?

Okay my boyfriend is very picky about EVERYTHING! If he thinks yoiur doing something wrong, he will defentely not go through the day not saying anything about it.
Whenever I clean the kitchen or clean up the house and he's home, he stands right next to me and watches me so close. If I dont do it HIS WAY he will tell me how to do it, and if I go on doing it my way he will literally YELL at me and wont stop. For ex. the other day I was putting away pans, I didnt do it his way even after he told me how to do it, and he yelled and yelled at me, and said I do everything wrong.
If I accidently sit on the couch too hard he will yell at me and make a big deal about it, and tell me I need to sit gently so I dont ruin the couch, and then he says "You will understand someday when you have something to treasure".
I am 7 months pregnant, and if I eat then eat a little more of something he will say something like, "didnt you just eat", or "how can you b hungry still".

Society's perceptions of mental illness are generally speaking pretty negative. The behaviour, thoughts and emotions of people with a mental illness are unpredicatable confusing and sometimes make people uncomfortable. For a very long time people have been trying to remove some of this stigma and it's a difficult job to conunteract social perceptions and fears. For those of us that have experienced mental illness, either personally or by watching a loved one suffer we know that a person with a mental illness can still be an intelligent, compassionate and beautiful person. Most of the time they are just 'normal' people that have a mental disorder blocking them. Some people in society still can't get that. My discussion is about the media. it seems to me that every time mental illness gets a mention in the media it is very rarely about promoting tolerance and understanding, but a negative image - pschopath comits some terrible crime that kind of thing. Isn't the media simply fuelling

My brother killed himself almost a year ago. No depression, no drugs, just shot himself at a gas station while his friend pumped gas. I still wake up with so much anger and actual hate towards him and its been ten months.

I was homeschooled growing up,and my work was never sent in, so I don't have a diploma. I need to go and get my GED, and then start college, but I'm too scared to even try for my GED. People tell me I'm smart but I dont feel it. I feel like if I go for my ged i'll fail miserably, or that college will be too hard for me. Right now I have no job, no future, no anything.

But even knowing that isnt enough to get me to go and take the test. I dont want to be a loser my entire life but thats exactly where i'm headed. How do i get the motivation and the courage I need? Right now I feel helpless, and useless, and worthless. I dont want to feel like this forever, but I really think that if i went to take the test for my ged, I'd fail, and that i'd probably flunk out of college or something. I also have severe social anxiety so the thought of being around a lot of other people every day scares me to death. Please help....I dont know what to do anymore.

I'm always thinking about people who live in nightmare circumstances in undeveloped countries. People who starve, people for whom it's normal to pass a limbless corpse in the path, people who have to sweat for hours in the sun for a wage that won't even buy lunch in America.

I can't imagine these people having "anxiety attacks," or "self-confidence" issues.

When I think about how priveleged I am to live in a civilized nation, I just feel more inadequate, and worse about being depressed. *sigh*

The question is "What would you do if you found out your boyfriend posted a personal ad?
I found it by viewing the history on his computer. What should I do?"

I am getting a lot of good answers, but basically everyone is saying the same 5 or 6 different things. Why do I then, still keep posting it? Am I obsessing? Am I looking for sympathy? Validation? The right answer All of the above? My heart is breaking and I can't tell him cuz he's out of town and I don't want to spoil his vacation with this!HELP

I am think I am. I worry all the time about things and it usually will take up my day and make it so miserable. I don't care to hang out with friends, just my boyfriend. I don't liek big crowds. I have a low feeling most of the day. I change moods every hour and I have been going through for a long time. I am just now deciding to do something about it before nursing school starts this fall. My mom is going to try to get me some pills from her doctor or I will get them myself. Also, what do you recommend? My mom heard a ad on tv that is suppose to be really good and it started with a P. It wasn't prozac-i heard that stuff really can make you crazy. Thanks~

How can it be possible for one to reduce and live mostly normal without professional assistance with professionals? I swear medication makes it totally worse for me. The worst was Paxil, it only helped with the compulsuions and obsessions. I've been finding that participating in my hobbies and pursuing things I enjoy/want to do keeps me much calmer, satisfied, and happier. I don't nearly obsess or have compulsions like I had, but am not so sure about the Effexor. There's too many side effects and the headaches really get to me. I'm considering going off the medication.

I have a 7 year old brother who is an identical twin. He has ADHD. He has to repeat the 1st grade. He is currently on Ritalin. He never listens to anybody, and when he doesn't get his way, he throws tantrums or hits/kicks people or destroy things. For example, today at the amusement park, he was told to sit down, so he proceeded to scream and jump from table to table. His brother refused to give him the rest of his snack, so he hit him. I am at a loss of what to do to deal with him. Keep in mind I have autism/Asperger's and bipolar; so my cooping skills aren't great.

Three years ago after i was cheated on by the father of my child I became suicidal. I have always suffered with depression and I voluntarily checked into a mental health unit for 12 weeks to be assessed. I was diagnosed with an adjustment disorder leading to a nervous breakdown. Has this happened to anyone else? What led up to it and did anyone ever give you advice about coping with it?

For my treatment resistant depression, I am planning on ordering some moclobemide (Manerix) online without a prescription because it is not FDA approved and can't get a doctor here to write me one. I think it worked for me once a couple years ago for depression but I think it made me a little anxious. Buspar helps my anxiety. Some websites say not to take the two together but these websites refer to moclobemide as an MAO-I. But other web sites say it is in the RIMA category and say nothing about an interaction with buspar. My Pharmacists can't answer my questions because they've never heard of Moc...I don't want to take a benzo for my anxiety because I'm prone to addiction. I should also mention I've tried a whole slew of other antidepressants that don't work for me and make my dprsn worse. I'd also like to know if anyone knows of a trustworthy website which one can order from without a prescription.Thanks for any advice or insight.
