Mental Health - April 2007

i recently discovered that there are years and years from my childhood that i dont remember at all. i don't remember almost the whole year of 2005 because lots of bad things happened then. some things from as recent as late last year, i have NO recollection of. i know they happened, but of actual incidents, i dont remember them at all.

is there a name for this? what do i do?

I know this sounds like something from "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind..." But I recently heard about somebody getting some sort of memory erasure procedure. Is this possible?

years when giving up what are the withdrawal symptoms?
I gave up last year for 3 months and remember paranoia and anxiety.Day 10 of being clean seems harder but my determination for mental and physical health over rides anything because I remember how good I felt last year.

Last year Bob took $4,470 worth of health pills from over the counter and the Internet. We don't have that kind of money. He won't ask a doctor, just believes anything anyone says would be good for you. He has been diagnosied with Alheimers and mini strokes. I believe he has fried his brain on all these health pills. He lies to the doctor and only tell him about 5 or 6 pills.....calcium, vitimens, fish oil, for example, but he takes kelp, sea weed, etc., etc. He takes about 50 health pills everyday and his memory is getting worse. He won't listen to anyone. He doesn't follow any guidelines, if one is good, then 3 would be better, kind of reasoning. What kind of doctor can advise me.....we have at least 100 bottles of different health pills in our home.

my boyfriend and i are both 32, we have been living together for 2 years now. in the beginning we had sex 1 or 2 a week, bc he always said he was tired, then after a year, we only have sex when i initiate it. i feel very rejected if i start kissing him, touching and he says something like he is not in the mood, r simply doesnt want it, so i have quit. sex now is reduced to 1 a month.
i cant stop confronting him on this matter, all he says is that he doesnt feel good about sex, he says that after sex he feels very bad.
please dont saythings like hes gay, he has someone else...this is not the case here.
he has been taking efexor for 2 years, has been in psychotherapy for 8 years...
what should i make of this????

I know an anorectic (someone suffering from anorexia nervosa) who said she lost 40 pounds in 2 months by not eating and doing about an hour of jogging a day everyday. Is this possible? I was anorexic--well, on and off--and I lost about 20 in 2 months....but of course, I ate and binge-ate at some points.

The anorectic is quite slim now (she's recovering).

Hi.
Im on depession tablets and have been for a while.
For a few years now I have been finding it really hard to stay awake.
When i drive home from work I fall asleep at the wheel momentarily. (Not good I know)
When I come home I just wanna lye down on the couch. If I do I fall asleep within a minute.

Is my depression the cause of this or may I have another problem?
Thanks

She didn't want to be a part of all of it but was an outsider until she joined in. It wasn't her thing and she quit. Its been 15 years since then and she is 30 now. She just recently found out that her mom is selling and shooting up meth. Is there any advice to help my friend help her mom? There are grand children in the picture and she don't see any of them. She thinks that there is no problem and won't go for treatment, even though alot of her family has died of drug over doses. Should she anonamously turn her in to the authorities?

My friend's daughter has some sort of mental illness (bi-polar or borderline personality) and has been on the streets for just over a year. My friend has no idea what to do and has tried everything to get her daughter into rehab, but to no avail. Please help, her daughter is slowly wasting away, and my friend is so sad and frustrated!

I am really alone right now. I have nobody to talk to. I am so upset and depressed about being alone. I am in love with someone I see everyday and I can't take the feeling of rejection anymore. I have to see him every day i go to work. Leaving my job is not an option. I am 36 and have never had a relationship. I think it will never happen. I feel like all the good things in my life don't matter. Even if I get over him I feel like I can't stand to imagine going through another rejection again. I am seeing a psychiatrist and on medication, so please don't tell me to get help. I am just hoping someone could say something kind . Has anyone gone though this? I have never met anyone my age who has never had any kind of relationship whatsoever.

It's just stress. Many people I know think they have mental illnesses. They convince their psychologists that they do becuse they are convinced that they have a serious illness. Psychiatrists are ready to believe them. Stress can make you appear psychotic, depressed, manic depressive... These are just quick labels. Psychiatry is bs. What do you think?

I don't want to do it, but don't know how to get help. I want to call 911 tonight or take myself to the ER because I am going to do it if I don't get help soon. Can anyone please tell me how things go down when someone calls 911 for that? Will they send the police to my house and embarrass me in front of everyone I live with (I do not want them to know), or take me away in an ambulance? Whats the procedure for walking into the ER? Seems like a silly thing to do, just to walk in and say "I'm going to kill myself." What will they do to me? Will they turn me away if I cannot pay?

ok, i keep having these dreams about dead bodies. i know it sounds morbid and gross but i really need help. it starts out just like a normal dream, then many people are often murdered or just die. then i always see the dead bodies. when i am crying or upset in my dreams about the deaths the people around me just tell me im overreacting and its no big deal. nobody has died in my family recently.
please tell me what these dreams mean and why im having them.
thanks.

even though i take them, i still have the same feelings. I resently changed the meds because the others stopped working. But i still had the same problem. I will be feeling really good and then BAM i will feel low depressed, just blah, and then later that day, BAM, i will feel good and on and on and on. Why is this happening? Why cant i just feel good most of the time? Instead its a roller coaster. I hate it!

I am diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. My psychiatrist, whom I saw for two years (been two years since last visit, too) never specified if it was chemical or not. However, he tried several medications on me but none seemed to work. I partially blame the ineffectiveness on myself, though, because when we were doing this drug juggling act, I was giving up too easily. I do think it may be chemical because I know it's in my genes and my father's is chemical.

Anyway, I have been through several relapses in the 8 years I've been dealing with this. I know I'm bound to relapse again. My question is, in the very beginning of a relapse, have you ever thought of your romantic partner and felt numb and have this be due to the relapse and nothing else? Or what kind of effects does you relapse have on your feelings for them?

I could go into other signs that I may be relapsing, such as inability to concentrate, but yeah. Info or personal experiences on this aspect I mentioned would be great
