Mental Health - April 2007

I honestly feel like I don't fit in anywhere. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't due drugs, and I don't party which is probably obvious from everything else I said I don't do. Pretty much everyone I know does one or more of the above (pot is as far as they go as far as any type of drugs) and I just don't feel comfortable around them. It's not because of what they do I just feel like an absolute prude.
Just to let everyone know I really don't know what type of answer I am looking for. I'm just really depressed right now and I am expecting either the uplifting response of "No, you are not pathetic but responsible" or the rather negative response of "Get over yourself". Today is a freebie, so reassure or ridicule away.

I have been depressed for quite a while now, and now that I have some money I have decided to get on antidepressants. I know that it was caused by some childhood trauma, and that I can't stand living like this anymore. My body aches my mind is in a constant fog, I am negative, tired, and forgetful. I have tried but I can't simply wish this away or just deal with it. Under the circumstances I would like to do this without my parents knowledge, any advice would be greatly appreciated. (im 16)

They said to remember to be patient with Mrs. Wiggy. That is probably going to be harder than it sounds. It's almost impossible now, and she is doing all she can to make it harder. She hasn't touched me intimately since Feb. 14, 2007. She said that the memories of the abuse by her former is the reasoning. Well I understand that. Here is the part that baffles me. Her sister is a Hooter's girl. Her sister is 22, single, and has no kids. My wife is 26, married, and has two kids. One of them is an 8 year old girl. She claims that when I flirt with her, she takes it as sexual harassment. I thought you were supposed to flirt with your spouse (dumb me). Guess what. It seems that now my wife is about to become a Hooter's girl too! Ain't that a hoot (pun)? She mentioned nothing of this to me. She just put in an application, and they hired her. My point is this. She has enough problems right now with therapy, and trying to get over the past. Why she feels it necessary to do this now,

if you think that you had depression for a long time without knowing the cause, would you need therapy or medication?

I was diagnosed with ADD about 18 years ago. I am on Strattera. It works OK. I am not hyper. I would say semi-lazy. I spell words backward all the time. Especially when typing. Or I take a word like "about" and type "atoub". I do this constantly at work. When I read I never retain information. I have to read somthing 4 times to get it.

I am about to go back to college and I want to know what people are using to boost brain efficency. Any vitamines, supliments, exercises I should try? Thanks!!!

Well he was asking me questions about my faith, and he was asking about other religions. So he asked me why I dont call my God (Jesus's father) Allah..since Allah means God. I didnt know what to say. What should I have said?

I am a non-denominational Christian.

I've recently been going to a psychologist about depression. It was my last resort. She wants me to take medication but I reeally don't want to. I heard things about it, and I don't know how it would help me feel better. Life would still suck. Also she's been asking me if I ever thought of commiting suicide or if i wanted to hurt myself. I've thought about it but for now i'm trying to keep it together. I told her that I wouldn't tell her if I was. Should I tell her the truth? I don't want to be put in the looney bin. Thats why i haven't told her.

I'm in college and supporting myself..i don't have family to help or friends who i think i could talk to about this. Please help

I have been depressed for more than 6 months. I don't know what to do about it. I can't afford to see a psychiatrist or a therapist. I don't want to leave the house and I miss doing the things I used to enjoy. It is really affecting me because I am in college. It is really hurting my grades. I don't see the point to my life at the moment. I can't go to my parents about it because they will not understand. I have already used up the mental health services available to me at my school. I feel like I want to hurt myself. I want to seek help outside of my school but I can't. I have insurance, but it is through my parents. I can't go see a doctor with out them finding out. What should I do?

I was diagnosed with "Severe Depression, with Psychosis and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?"

So what... I was depressed, I was not in touch with the reality of that diagnosis and it caused Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

But in all seriousness, can someone please maybe give me some good links for the treatment and definition of these disorders?
