Mental Health - April 2007

He had this habbit of bowing a lot in front of temples n idols. But now a days, he has started doin d same anywhere. While sitting in a car, while walking etc. We made him see a pshych once, but after 1 or 2 visits, he stopped visiting as he dint want to take a medicine that result in drowsiness and they were giving him the same. What is this phobia? And what can be done to overcome that ? Is medicine it's only alternative? Can't this problem be solved by proper guidance & counselling ? Please answer.

I look happy on the outside but I feel ...hollow..on the inside. I feel down on myself wondering how dare I be unhappy for what I have. Am I a bad person? I have a great family and I love them very much...but sometimes I wonder if they would be better off without me. I would never consider suicide as I don't want to die but how good can I be for them if I don't even like myself? I feel hopeless, unaccomplished and stuck in a rut. I am completely uninspired on how to change my perspective. I am overwhelmed by worry...I worry about everything constantly.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom or know of anything I can read to try to help my scrambled self? Is it possible that I am depressed or am I just unambitious and ungrateful?
I don't need any snide comments or remarks please. I am hard enough on myself without anyone making it worse.

I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder since the fall of 2005. I have been on and off my medication. Whenever I am off of them, I will always revert back to my depressed self. Am I going to have to take antidepressants for my whole life? Also, I take Seroquel for OCD and anxiety and other things like that. I stopped taking that on my own free will, because it knocks me out and I can hardly get up. Now, I have very, very stressful dreams where I wake up sweating and stressed and my head hurts. Also, I have been dizzy all of the time and I shiver a lot. I ask people if it is cold, and they are ALL fine! My anxiety is back, and everyone has noticed a difference in me since I came back from the hospital that I was in for almost a month and a half due to this Depression and stuff. Excuse my excessive typing, but that is my question. Thank you for answering! ^_^

I dont know why i do this, is it wrong?
I have 3 alarm clocks, so if one doesn't go off, the other one will, and If that one doesn't go off, the other one will.

I check at least 12- 13 times a night to see if it is on.
My straightener is off, but I always check to see if it is off like 20 times during the day even though I KNOW it's off

I worry constantly about things that don't need to even cross my mind, like....... how many chips i've had in the past week.., and it practiclly CONSUMES my life...

does anyone know whats wrong with me?

I've never set out to intentionally hurt another person, but I know that that doesn't make it ok that I have hurt someone very close to me, not physically, but emotionally. Because I lied to this person while I was ridiculously drunk, he went through 11 hours or more on a search for me in another state, at homeless shelters, police stations, alleys...etc., and all of this because I was a drunk lier wanting attention. I've been drunk before and know that I turn into this horrible creature, but I've never done anything this heartless and hurtful before, I hate myself and know now that I can never touch alcohol again. I don't know how I could have worried him and hurt him so much. He thought that maybe I could be dead. It was horrible what I did. I made him think that I was suicidal and that is an unforgivable act. Can you please give an honest answer and tell me something you've done that you regret the most and feel guilty for. I feel so alone in my pain and need forgiveness.

up my life big time. In this day and age when people buy themselves into deep debt, I have the opposite problem-an inability to spend money. Spending even on the most basic needs like food/rent create massive anxiety. And I don't spend it on anything else. It isolates me tremendously. I have an inkling of some of the childhood traumas that have created this, but I am overwhelmed with anxiety. It is bizarre-some people use shopping to ease anxiety. Shopping for me, even for underwear is a nightmare. Needless to say this has quite an impact on my life. Any suggestions for this money monk?
Anyone else relate? How do you deal with it. Don't say see a therapist-I'd go in a heartbeat-if it was free! However...

So someone suggested to me that escapism is a mental illness. That made me LAUGH! Escapism seems to be a good thing! I don't read fiction. If I have a problem brewing in my life, rather than talking to someone, I just go online and look up scientific articles or things I'm curious about for extended periods of time (5+ hours)...but I'm learning. I daydream and I can be detached, but while I am doing this...I'm generally thinking of practical things. When I feel anxious, I use NyQuil so I fall asleep and in the morning, I don't care about the problem anymore. It is so ridiculous. If anything, escapism is a healthier way to cope than exposing your feelings to people who don't really care. So enlighten me, how can this possibly be bad?

When ever I get up to speak in front of audiences I freeze up and my heart starts to beat really fast and I forget what I have to say. I even get nervous sometimes when I just have to talk to my teacher's alone. Is there anything I can do to help calm me down when I get nervous?

For research purposes I'd like to see testimonials of actual autism sufferers, different types/levels of affliction. Can you recommend a good website or the titles of some documentaries or real movies. I'm looking into developing alternative treatment plans with some graduate students......we may have a major breakthrough in the works

My doctor put me on Zoloft to help me deal with PTSD but I still feel suicidal and I still cut my wrists but not as much as before. Also when I take Zoloft it makes me feel zoned out.

Ive had some pretty traumatic things happen in my life, dad died when i was a baby mom has head injury, lived with grandma and then found her unconsious and now live with my uncle. At times i feel so so sad. But other times i feel so happy. Before i go to bed or when im jsut alone everything that has ever happened to me rushes through my head and it can be so overwhelming. Why does this happen? Is this anxiety?Or is it PTSD? For the majority im happy.. its jsut those certain moments i feel so unhappy. I sometimes cut when it gets too.. i dont know i wish i could desrbe it better. My mom is in a nursing home right now for confusion so thats been adding to it. I feel happy but deep down i feel so.. bothered and unhappy. My life right now for the most part is great.. i have friends and family that love me its just.. one thing after another i guess. I'm thinking of getting counseling but i dont have the money. I'd just like to start off knowing what this is:-/

have i got anything to be concerned of. im on 150mg of zoloft and ive got my stag do coming up, going to Budapest with 20 or so mates...obviously booze is to be expected. i read that it is really dangerous to mix alcohol and anti-depressants, although when i was taking 50mg and 100mg i still got drunk at weekends and thought nothing of it, but since reading that you can die, ive tended not to drink more than one beer.

what should i do? my mates wont be too impressend if im sipping mineral water but then again i dont want to risk anything

I've been doing some research on Autism and Aspergers syndrome and have noticed that in the vast majority of cases the kids just look "funny" before they even say a word. It makes me think that the cause of the disorder may be more involved than the experts believe. What would be some of the reasons for this? I can imagine that this must add to some of bullying problems that they exeperience since it might cause them to be singled out
