Mental Health - May 2007

It was my first time, and I remeber feeling like sort of stupid the next morning. Like it was hard to talk or something, and everything I said came out slow and I kept stuttering. I also felt pretty zoned out. Most of those effects went away after a day, but even now, moths later, I feel kinda zoned out, and I have trouble remembering directions. I also have truoble remebering if I did something, little stuff like taking out the garbage or if I already did something or not in a videogame. Anyway, it's pretty annoying and I wanna know if its happend to anyone else and if it's *gulp* permanent. Thanks.

I am completely obsessed with the 1960's, cars, music, tv shows, toys, fads, fashions, homes, etc. I guess its harmless nostalgia, but I want to collect these things so I can "feel" the 60s, and I don't want anyone remodeling anything built in the 60s, I want it preserved. I don't drink or do drugs, but the 60s gives me a high thats out of this world. Groovey, man !

I've been going through a stressful time lately with exams etc. Although I'm normally not sensitive, the tiniest thing sets me off these days.

How can I control my emotions and stop crying all the time?

I'm almost 30 years old and happily married, but yet I have this completely irrational fear of being alone in my house. This has caused some problems in the past in my marriage for obvious reasons (I used to get upset if my husband was going to be gone for on the weekends b/c I'd be alone)...I'd have panic attacks and cry and just be plain terrified. I got over the day trip issues by reading a book or by inviting a friend over for a girly movie, and things have been fine for quite some time.
However, a surprize business trip, an overnighter, has come up and my husband will be gone Thursday night. I immediately got angry and told him no, but I told him later that it wasn't him I was mad at, and in fact I wasn't really mad at all, just scared. Even now, thinking of being alone in my house is causing my eyes to burn and my stomach to clinch.
I was left alone a lot as a child, I was the only child of a single mother and she had to work.
Any input as to how to cope on Thursday?

About the last 18 months I have have had deteriorating health. It started with the death of my father followed with my first of three bouts of pneunomia. I have always been overweight but recently i am experiencing weight gain even while trying to lose some weight. In addition I have been exttremely weak and have difficulty breathing with even mild physical activity. I have always been a very strong man and this new "weakling" feeling is disturbing. Adding to my feeling of helplessness, I tried to get some health insurance (to make it more affordable to me) and was turned down citing pre-existing conditions. Those conditions being respiratory problems and being overweight. Exactly the reasons I was seeking help! I can't afford to pay regular doctors fees and felt that insurance was my best option. Now I am feeling really helpless. My wife and family seem to blow me off when I try to talk about it. It is difficult for a "big strong guy" to communicate his fears.

I have been with this guy for a couple months now and everything is great. He loves me and I am MADLY in love with him. The thing is, I never expected things to get this serious. It is a very long distance relationship...so I never told him the *full* truth about me. He thinks I come from a normal family, as in boyfriends are "acceptable" My culture is the complete opposite. I have never told him this, and I know it is too late to hurt him now. I just dont know what to do. He basically told me he wants to marry me, his friends tell me Im all he ever talks about....and gosh, he just loves me way too much (as I do love him too much too). I know this relationship will never work out because I cannot hurt my family...I cannot just "run off" with him, because believe me, my parents will die from shame. I know you guys probably have a hard time understanfing this, but I am in a horrible mess. Strict conservative parents with a very liberal daughter. If I love someone, I know I will hurt

Im just wondering what others would do in my position.

I have a mom, who I really love and want to spend time with. Unfortunetly, she is a bit mentally unstable and tends to emotionally abuse me. She tries to control me, goes through my stuff, reads my emails, etc. As a teenager, I was suffering from depression because of her. It all lifted once I moved out. I keep contact to the minimum now to avoid conflict. But I want this to change.

If I wouldnt care about her, I wouldnt mind seeing her once a year. But I want to be her friend. I miss her now that I am an adult. Any ideas (or personal experience) on how you managed the relationship with a problematic mother?

What I have noticed is that alheimers looks just like autism in reverse. The symptoms are so similar, just named differently. For example-Sundowning/stimming, rummaging/spinning or any other repetative motion, hourding/collecting(obsessive behavior), catastophic reactions/sensory integration dysfunction, empty speech/ echolalia, getting stuck/Peter Pan syndrome(unreasonably uncomfortable with change), need for task breakdown (both), inappropriate behavior (both). Has anyone seen this? I can't be the only one.

Came across a resolved Q from cenas1gurl_hotstuff and I was so disturbed I went to her profile and read her (many) other questions. She's 11-12, heavy drinker, anorexic, cutter, family problems, kicked out of school, questions about suicide... She doesn't seem to want to take the advice, but she's obviously reaching out for help. Repeatedly. I don't think folks are seeing the pattern. I don't have the answers for her, but want to support her and don't want to sit here helplessly when a young woman's (she's still a kid) in trouble! Can some professional email her and direct her to the appropriate help? Her Answers nickname is her Yahoo email address.

Things in my life are horrible, I have been looking for a job for almost 4 months, I cant seem to hold a relationship, I have no friends or anyone to turn too. Now I am slipping into depression. I was fine two days ago, but how long can you kid your self? Try so hard to stay positive and keep myself busy, but I am slowly losing interests. Dont say I should go to the doctor because you need to have insurance to do so and I dont want to pop any drugs.

Symptoms are outlined as:
Do you feel preoccupied with the internet or on-line services and think about it while off-line?
Do you feel a need to spend more and more time on-line to achieve satisfaction?
Are you unable to control your on-line use?
Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop your on-line use?
Do you go on-line to escape problems or relieve feelings such as helplessness, guilt, anxiety or depression?
Do you lie to family members or friends to conceal how often and how long you stay on-line?
Do you go through withdrawal when off-line, such as increased depression, moodiness or irritability?
Do you stay on-line longer than originally intended?
Do you feel it's a real issue, if so... how do you feel about people who watch TV from when they arrive home from work until bedtime, spending 7 hrs watching TV,is this any different? Is one better than the other? Why can't it be seen as the same thing, and why all the hype around it?

I think I may be bipolar. I take medication for stress but have noticed when I come off of it I get paranoid, emotional, feel like no one likes me and get severely depressed. I've never been diagnosed as bipolar but wonder if I may be? A list of symptoms would be very helpful.

I have to stand up for her, I mean she has to have a mental illiness, no one would want to live in this filth! It is not just clutter but pure filth! It has to be much more than being lazy! She has been evicted from her apt. She had a very pretty apt. in a nice part of town. You would think she would be proud and take good care of it but she didn't or couldn't. But when the manigers did an inspection they could not believe the filth! This lady keeps her body clean and her clothing clean but I saw with my own eyes the filth! I know that she had her children taken away from her when she was younger because of the filth! She is a senior now, she will never again be able to live in a senior apt. complex!

it is too exhausting to even begin to describe my experience. but i feel totally screwed up and completely incapable of coping with life. i'm hoping to hear from someone who can tell me what is this mystery of bpd..what are its features..perhaps hear from someone who has firsthand experience.

i guess, a couple of points regarding this..i have very severe depression, intense anger that i internalize, and i'm a hopeless failure at everything. i had a wonderful husband, and i left him because i felt lonely, bored, and empty.
