Mental Health - May 2007

If you suspect someone close to you may have some sort of mental disorder (bipolarism perhaps?), how can you have that person diagnosed?

I'm not a good runner and i would always give up halfway through my run because i couldn't take it. My friends were like telling me that it's all in the mind and my mind was like telling me to stop.

i'm pretty puzzled. Can our minds really break our body limits?

does anyone else feel this way?

My ex ended our relationship 3 mths ago. It came very quickly. She had some other problems at the time. Her Dr said she was depressed (she has a history) and prescribed meds and counselling. She initially said yes to both but then said no to counselling. She said she wasn't depressed and said the relationship was the cause.

I have tried so hard to move on but keep having a "what if" thing going on. I just found the whole situation so weird. She was telling me she loved me right before things ended. She had low self esteem too, often saying I should "feel free to dump her". I never wanted too. About 1 mth after things ended she said "she was sorry for hurting me & I was a wonderful person & whoever ended up with me would be as lucky to have met me as she was" Again, weird comments.

She was clear she wanted to stay friends. I got back in touch with her on that basis and she said she didn't want to meet up as "it wouldn't be fair on the person she is seeing".

What do I do????

I'm only 15 years old but I guess depression can affect anyone. I looked online about depression & I have almost all the signs. I've thought about death (I've cut my wrists & I've often thought of hanging myself & other ways of dying) I feel empty inside & I fell like I don't have a reason to be on this earth. I feel like everyone would be better off without me. I don't enjoy being with my friends or family anymore like I use to. I don't enjoy doing sports or anything I use to like to do. I've felt like this for about a year or so but I had no clue I could be depressed. I like to stay by myself in my room all the time and when I come out I don't really talk. I told my mom how I feel and she said she would take me to the doctors. I didn't tell my mom I've tried to kill myself. Their is a history of depression & bi-polar in my family. Do you think I'm depressed? How quick should I go to the doctors? Thanks everyone for all your help.

When alone, I often get a feeling of uneasiness and hopelessness and then i begin to panic randomly. Then i feel like i'm running out of oxygen and freak out. I usually calm myself by talking to someone... Could not getting enough sleep be a cause for this? Am i suffering from a mental illness?

At 15, my brother was depressed and rather than burden my parents with anything going on in my life, I started using the internet well into the night for hours on end. Since this time, it has only progressed. I go to the gym, I go out with friends, I go out with my husband. I have a life and that time is fine. I don't even think about the internet. As soon as I walk through the door though, I am on it. I can't seem to get off of it. I stay on until 2AM and wake up before 7AM exhausted. For a while I was taking a sleep aid so I would go to bed at 12 and not think about online but I don't want to depend on that. I am a dental student. My hands are starting to hurt me bad. I have constant joint pain. I still can't stop going online. It is about 6-8 hours/day. It is ruining my life. I don't know what my problem is.

My son just moved away from home for the 1st time
My job is really dragging me down and I am just not into it lately
My 19 yr old daughter is letting her boyfriend beat up on her and keeps going back for more.
I am having some health problems.
I am in financial debt and am working like a fool to pay it off
My boyfriend and I have dated for 5 yrs and he treats me like I am not on to his game. He wants sex not marriage and I am just really not interested in it without the long term committment
I have gained about 55 lbs and cannot lose it
My features are starting to show age.
I am tired and need someone to cheer me up or something.
Can you please tell me something to cheer me up? Is it really all that bad? Is it me?

Does anyone know if there are any programs that offer low cost/no cost mental health care in the US for young adults. I'm no longer in college, and no longer have health insurance, but also cannot go without a therapist. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Or they think we just want to be negative & they think we're asking for attention & they think that we want others to feel sorry for us.

They're ignorant of the fact that depression is cause by a chemical imbalance in the brain, & it's as serious as diabetes, strokes, & heart attacks.

Even as I type this the only thing I can think about is killing myself. It could take a week before I can get an appointment with a shrink qualified to deal with my incredibly messed up head. I don't know if I can survive a week without dying by my own hand and I don't want to go to a regular emergency room because that place is for better people than me. They have very few beds as it is. What if they bring in some dying child and I'm there taking up the last bed like a damn ***hole!? Can't even consider it.

What options are left?
