Mental Health - May 2007

le i liked,i would usually dream as myself being the centre of attraction,for instance i would imagine myself flirting with guys,and it became so intense that i actually slowly started losing my mind,gradually i became very absent minded,i could actually be in my dream world even when i was watching t.v or travelling,and the ultimate result of all this was i became very awkward with people,and i started being aloof and isolated,i feel as though i m not able to focus anywhere,even while talking i sometimes get lost and do not follow conversations.what is this kind of behaviour called and how can it be tackled?is it something abnormal?i know many people who talk with themselves but not necessarily does everyone spin stories like i do.what is day dreaming?am i into the habit of day dreaming?is fantasising a bad thing?do i fantasise a bit too much?i used to enjoy it earlier but now it does hinders with the way i think.i feel i m not able to think logically.how can i change myself ?

My therapist suspects that I have D.I.D. It is a little overwhelming to even think about. It's very difficult to accept, and I find myself grabbing at any hint that it's not true.
My last session was frightening because I kept seeing my shoes as high top baby shoes then my own shoes would be there, then the baby shoes. Back and forth, I was so confused. I kept hearing, "If your going to act like an animal, you'll be treated like an animal!", and I was under an old fashioned kitchen sink with a curtain over the bottom of it. I was backed up against the back wall. I could look down and see that I was wearing a short sleeved shirt, bib overhalls with snaps down the bottom and around the diaper area, and high top white baby shoes. A woman's shoed foot kept trying to kick me, and I was scared and angry.
Finally my therapist helped me go to a safe place in my mind. A stream with grass and a big tree that I could climb and hid and feel safe, slowly I was able to be me again.

Does it feel like you have stopped growing as a person?
Do you feel empty inside?
Do you know what it means to move forward in life?

I am writing to ask if anyone out there has been able to sucessfully navigate a state childrens mental health system to find trained and qualified help for thier traumatized child.

The child I am speaking of witnessed the murder of his sibling at the hands of his stepfather. The state wants to provide in home support for the family with a behavior tech many hours a week, but he has yet to be seen by a trauma (or other) therapist with any consistency.

I am beginning to realize that the therapists the state has for the low income are not well trained and are afraid of working with him. I suppose it may be better than working with him and doing more harm than good.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Millions of people come on here daily looking for attention. I seek neither attention nor happy thoughts on why I shouldnt go through with an attempt. There are millions of other people who are in a worse position then I am. Im a healthy and good looking 23 year old guy with many aspirations, a little weirded out by the fact that Im still a virgin but Its all right, I dont mind that because Im so well with women. My life and dreams have always been there and I never knew how to chase them. To face I am a shell to the world, I smoked weed for the 1st time with my friend who is a psycologist and wound up crying for hours about bottled things. Im an emotional mess but I never demonstrate that to people. And Lately, this is what goes thru my mind. My Question is . . . Is there anyway to stop these thoughts or to better my attitude towards life?

I have had problems concentrating all my life and have been put on medicine for it. How do I know I am concentrating and not just having weird side effects? I know this seems silly.

Just wondering if, after working all the way to retirement, I will be tempted to look back on 45 years or so of working hard and say "what a mistake!" So I'll wind up with a pile of money. Maybe it would have been better to have more free time. What do you seniors think? And what do you younger people predict you will think?

I have had this dream twice, at different times, when I was younger (pre-teens)

First... I was walking on this green-grassed hill then all of the sudden a terodactyl (flying dinosuar) flew over head but all I saw was its shadow and I also heard it screach. Then a bunch of firstgraders walked by... like they were on a feild trip.

Secound (had it a couple years later)... same exact thing but instead of first grader they were highschoolers!

This dream has bother me for years please help!

My sister ( and I ) were adopted and her birth mom was young. I believe this also made my sisters choices reckless and stupid. She didnt graduate High school because she was too busy do drugs. My parents sent her to a private boarding art school where she did drugs and then ran away. We didn't know where she was for 4 months I think. I hated her for not taking advantage of her advantages. I hated her soo much infact i don't know enough of her life story to write it down. Basically for the past 3-4 years she has been doing drugs, getting arrested, having boyfriends who suck, dealing drugs and now she is having a baby, which she is going to adopt away... like mother like daughter!!! She also calls to ask my mom how to make simple meals but i think she calls because she is lonely or something. I dont know why I hate her, I mean... SHES MY SISTER, but I hate her, i dont want to but i do and i can't explain to my self why. Please help.

My mother passed away in June of last year. She and my father were married for 43 years. My father started seeing someone from his past about six months after my mother's death. She lives in Alabama, and he lives in NC. For the past three months, they have been meeting in SC every other weekend. Trips costing $1000+ each.
He has been acting very different in the past month or so, mood swings, forgetfulness, etc. and it has my sister and I concerned.
My grandmother (my mom's mom) passed away last month. While she was in the nursing home, my uncle (who had power of attorney) and father had the beneficiaries changed on her IRA account (My dad was the agent who sold her the account) into just thier names, and split her remaining assets 50/50. These accounts originally had my mother and uncle as beneficiaries, and my mother's share would have been distributed to my sister and I. Also, my day took out a mortgage on his house, that had just been paid off in March of this year.

I took roaccutane (accutane in america) three years ago. Since then I have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, severe depression and an eating disorder. I had no mental health problems before I took roaccutane.

Has anyone else taken this drug? It's an acne drug, the controversial one that people have commited suicide whilst on it

I am suffering from depression that is severe enough that I can't get a job, and I can't muster the will to even sell junk on eBay anymore. I am trying to get into some state funded treatment program for depression, but meanwhile I need to be able to pay my living expenses. I don't see many options available for me at this point. I'm wondering where else I can turn for assistance.

So anyway after the police left I decided the best way for me to get out of there was to piss off the other mental patients so they would be more likely to attack the staff and lie to the doctors. This worked so well and I highly recommend it to anyone else who has this problem, but I feel a little bad about it.
