Mental Health - April 2007

A situation where someone unconsiously projects their bad or unfortunate experiences with someone else onto others, assuming that since they had this experience, most others must be experiencing it too. Example: A woman who's had a bad history with her husband, and automatically treats most other women's husbands as though they were jerks, wether they are or not. I know that the popular term "baggage" is sometimes used, but I'm looking for a clinical name for it.

I have this recurring thought.. more of a feeling or a fear. I have this feeling that someone could shoot me at any second.

I felt this way before, but it only intensified when I heard about an episode of road-rage on the news where an unsuspecting man was shot in the passenger seat of an SUV while his wife was driving. He was shot by someone that was impatient because the woman was driving too slow for them. They didn't even mean to, they man didn't see it coming. And with the VA Tech shooting, it only got worse.

My father has some, well, problems. He's old and feeble, but he has problems that lead me to believe that he isn't right in the head. I have these recurring thoughts that he's laying in his bed with a gun (he has a prized gun collection which he rarely uses, he used to be an avid hunter) or that he's fly off the handle and come in my room or hurt my mom. I cringed when a speeding driver passes me, when I'm walking to my car, or when I'm not absolutely nice to someone.

CPS has accused us of harming our children but can't back it up. They're using my postpartum depression as a result. They also said that my OBGYM said that I wanted to hurt my older daughter (3). The documents I got from my doctor said that I had no thoughts of hurting my children. They also said that my husband can't parent because of mental illness. Is that the same as brain trama from a motorcycle accident? They said I had mental illness because of my depression. Is that even right of them to do? Please help I"m lost and I want these people to know what kind of hell they have put us through.

My life is a mess. I graduated with a business degree from the university 3 years ago and I still haven't been able to find a decent paying job. I'm 26 years old and still live home with family because I do not earn enough money for a place of my own. I'm completely frustrated and unhappy!! What's worse as well is that I am a lonely individual without much friends. I do everything alone. My social life is terrible, which as a result may be the reason why I never had a girlfriend. I've been walking in a dark tunnel for many years...and it's getting worse and worse as the years go by...there is no light in sight. I did not sign up for this lifestyle. What else is there to live for???

I'm a High School Junior and here lately, I've been forgeting things. Like in class, I can't seem to do certain math problems and all. My parents may request for Special Education Evaluation. I want to know if Crossword Puzzles or Word Finds increase the Brains Mind or whatever. If so, what are some good Crossword Puzzles out there. I've never tried them before. Only Word Finds.

Thanks

With that in mind and with the realization that not all addictions are harmful, what would you say you are addicted to?

I started having anger issues at age 12. They didnt get really bad until about last year. I scream at the top of my lungs until my voice gives out. I get so angry that I can't see. I cry for hours just to make myslef feel better. Now I'm 15 and it just keeps getting worse and worse. But the part I don't understand is that my outbursts come out of nowhere! Even the littelest things will turn me from happy and calm to crazy and Hostile. I've been in several fights and every time I do get into a fight I end up hurting the person really bad. I need help. I can't control my anger and I'm afraid Im going to hurt someone worse than I already have. Do you know what Could possibly be wrong with me?

So my therapist said that she wanted a better picture of my brain. So she sent me to this place and basically, they put a bunch of electrodes on my head to measure electrical impulses while I looked a pictures--when I was there, the technician, whatever, I was confused, said that my brain seems to have been restructured--I don't process things in the typical area of the brain that most people do. Is this the type of thing my therapist would be looking for? I really don't get it. The procedure was explained to me, but how it ties into anything, I don't know. Do you guys have any ideas? I am worrying that I could be getting prepped for electoshock--could this be the case?

I am 19 years old and I see everything as being pointless and worthless. I dont understand because the thing is that I have alot going in my life right now. I'm in college, I have alot of opportunity to travel, a job, family, friends. But I don't seem to care. I feel as if life isn't worth living and i'm starting to get tired of everything. I can't take it anymore.
I think that my problem is that I have alot of interpersonal issues and I can't seem to communicate well with others and that bothers me because I just don't understand why. So i always come out as strange or often ignored by others becaues of my bizzare behavior. That causes me to withdraw which makes it worst I suppose. I feel awkward and uncomfortable around others. I don't know what to do anymore.... I don't want to give up but I don't feel like I have the strength to continue.

I Have been smoking marijuana recreationally for about 5 years now. I smoked lightly when i first started 5 years ago, then just stopped. About 3 years ago i smoked again and for the next 2 years i smoked probably 4 times. Then everything changed. About 1 year ago and started hanging out with a new group of friends and started smoking constantly. It was a gradual increase. At first i was doing it once every two or three weeks, then once a week, then three times a week so on and so forth until i found myself smoking everyday two three even four times a day. I wasn't even having fun anymore when i got high yet i still found myself constantly doing it. So i quit for about a month. I smoked a few times after that one month and i have been constantly taking breaks from smoking but for some reason i always find myself coming back to it. I think in my head i will not smoke today but when someone offers it to me its almost impossible to say no.

I find my personality very absract compared to my surrounding peers. I have disturbing thoughts about killing/harming others and sometimes about sex. I often have conversations in my head and laugh out loud. I like reading and viewing images about serial killers and paraphiliacs (not so much viewing). I'm very apathetic to a lot of situations. For example, when someone is mad or me, I laugh. I'm often happy one day, and the next day I can be really sad/mad/apathetic. I'm very shy, I try to avoid social situations. Lately I've been having strange urges to eat unedible objects (i.e. candle wax, bus ticket). I always think people are judging me negatively and when I hear people laugh, I think they're laughing at me. I avoid "lovey dovey" things, even from my parents. I sing music in my head a lot. I have low confidence. I have very different opinions on social matters compared to my friends/family/etc. Do I need help? Or am I fine?
