Mental Health - May 2007

before weeks and weeks, I was okay, like everyone else, with problems but nothing serious. then suddenly I couldnt listen to music anymore. I can only listen to Don Cry by guns n roses. you wont believe but when I am on computer, I listen to this song every single minute and its not on my nerves.
now I cant even watch TV and movies. I can only watch documentaries and I wanna see Grease 1 & 2. thats all I wanna see, nothing else.
and I cant read a lot. I used to read a lot of wikipedia cause I like to learn about some stuff, but now I see that is a lot to read and I just close down the window. a friend showed me her poems. I only read the first line and I couldnt read anymore. so I lied to her that I love all her poems. now I feel guilty cause I didnt read not even one of her poems.

well thats the only thing I do in my life. I talk on msn with my friends and I work all day cause we have a farm. and nothing makes me happy except my friends.

what could be wrong with me?

I'm grounded for sneaking out the house TWICE. I know I was wrong but at the same time I'm going crazy. I've really learned my lesson this time. I can't talk on the phone, I'm not suppose to be on the computer for anything other than checking my email, and I can't go out on the weekends. The worst thing is that I don't know how long my punishment will be. Any body have any suggestions on what I should do?

Once again, this idiotic anxiety and panic attack has struck again. I made a complete FOOL of myself, infront of my peers. I am embarrased that I can't get a hold on this thing. I have drained my friends, and avoided them to keep from having to explain what I am going through. I have been called crazy, schizonphrenic, demonic, multiple personalities, you name it. People don't understand that Anxiety and panic disorders are real, but, it doesnt mean your crazy. Please, if anyone could seriously just explain how can you get through this.. It is ruining my life. I have a doctor but, its not working. I am so exhausted from crying by myself, because I just want to be normal again. Please no mean comments. Just your imput will do.

I have been living with my wonderful bf for about 2 months now. He has OCD and I've known this all along. Although there has been rough patches in our relationship because of it, we get through it the best we can. Recently though, he seems to have lost it! He yelled at me last night because he says that the only reason I am with him is because I am working with this kid that he doesn't like to make his life hell. (This kid is a root concern in his OCD and he thinks this kid is out to get him). I just don't know how to deal with this anymore. He makes me repeat things when talking to him (like saying ok about 15 times so he thinks i've been listening). I want to marry him but he just doesn't understand the things that he puts me through and what toll they are taking. I feel myself getting depressed because of it. Is there any suggestions on what I should do?? It's just getting worse and I don't know why. Thank you so much for your suggestions!

Well, this is kind of gross but I must ask anyway... I've been on this HIV phobia thing for about 3 months now. Anxiety, stress and depression are supposedly the real culprits. I'm taking medication and for a while I felt better but now I'm back freaking out in full force. I have increased my dose of antidepressants but only yesterday so they haven't had time to work. I have gotten where I wake up at 3 a.m. and start obsessing and worrying about things that are in my "right" mind irrational but it seems like I can't let go of it. My new obession (last night and tomorrow will be something else) but my b/f had sex w/ someone else while we were broke up. I won't have sex w/ him now but the other night we were in his bed (sleeping) and he sleeps w/o clothes, well he got "prespooge" (lol) on my back and I'm freaking out. What if I had a cut on my back? I don't know that I did, I don't know that I didn't. I know this is crazy so be nice.... I just need reassurance until the Zoloft kicks in.

i've been sexually abused at least four times that i can remember. earliest was about 7 and most recent was about 15. i feel so depressed all the time, i wont let anyone touch me. sometimes i touch myself and i hate how it feels, but why do i do it. i always hurt myself after and wish i was dead.
i've tried to talk to someone about this but, everytime i try to speak nothing comes out, i've thought about online counselling, but i dont have a credit card to pay for things online, and i cant speak face to face to anyone.
anyone got some helpfull advice, places i could go?

Well, firstly.. yeah I know I will sound mentally ill and a bit too ****** up but just read.

For the past few months, for some odd reason, I have a need to kill. Sometimes I think how much fun it would be to be two minutes away from killing a person, and a second before I do so, see his face full of horror and his facial expression, trying to figure out how he'd be felling in the inside knowing that he has less than a second of life left. Then just watching his life fade away through his eyes.
I, sometimes, see myself working on one hell of a massacre, lifeless corpses everywhere, my hands all red and a smile on my face.

Now, to the question... I certainly know this is not healthy, in fact I just sounded like a psycho, but the funny part is, I'd never kill a person.. So why do I have such disturbed, ****** up thoughts?

of how I feel, and actions/inaction I have exhibited for quite some time now; I'd appreciate it if you're a certified psychologist or mental health counselor who has seen it all; currently I'm unemployed and getting financial support from family, which after awhile is feeling embarrasing since I'm in my 30s; ok, here it is: 1) after a week or so at a new job, I start regulary going late to work, 2) I hate leaving an apt. when I hear someone else is leaving their apt. on the same floor at a similar time, 3) I get easily agitated when people cough around me [I think they don't like me, etc..], 4) sometimes if I get into a heated argument, I feel some feeling of heart palpitation or something; the beat goes much faster and scares me, 5) I don't have the most confident sounding voice when I chat (maybe I think if I come across more assertive, I'd annoy the other person) and 6) I procrastinate with housework tht needs to get done [I hate staying too long indoors], your input is welcome, thx

Hello everyone. I am having difficulty finding therapy I need despite seeking mental health professionals and various physicians. I have been diagnosed with "Depressive Disorder NOS" (w/ possible Seasonal Affective Disorder), "Anxiety Disorder NOS" (w/ symptoms of PTSD, Social Anxiety Disorder, Phobias, etc.), possible Asperger's (nobody ruled conclusively either way), and one doctor noted I was "avoidant" but decided not to put Avoidant Personality Disorder for now. I also have to deal with a sleep disorder (possible mild narcolepsy and circadian rhythm disruption), chronic discomfort and acute pain, seizure like symptoms (non-epileptic seizures?), and a few other problems. The combination of the multitude of issues from the past and present have consumed me yet I seem to never get anywhere w/ finding adequate assistance for one reason or another. Does anyone have any ideas?

The overt reason for my MIL's phone call was to wish my husband a happy birthday. From there it went downhill quickly. Yes, they've had a tumultuous history. He'd made his amends for his wrongdoings years ago, yet she's repeatedly thrown these issues back in his face. Even in my MIL's moments of feigned civility it's as if one can see the venom boiling within her. That toxic chasm runs deep, and stems from multiple sources well removed from her only child. Still, he's the sole target of the sum total of her fury. This was the most underhanded act of emotional brutality I've witnessed in years. What the hell is going on in that woman's putrid brain? She sure isn't getting access in any way, shape or form to my husband or our children again. I'd go to jail for sparing humankind of her gross dysfunction before she ever harms my loved ones again.

I've been on Wellbutrin XL for two weeks now for depression. The insomia started to get worse about a week into taking it. At first, I really didn't mind cause I had problems with sleep before I started taking it, but now it's just unbearable.

Before I starting taking Wellbutrin, there were at most two/three nights a week where I had trouble falling asleep and wake up feeling even more tired. Since last week, I've been having problems falling asleep AND staying asleep and it has gradually gotten worse every night.

I wouldn't mind the trouble of having difficulty to fall asleep and stay asleep, as long as I get some sleep in... but I haven't gotten any sleep AT ALL for the past two days! And the days before that, I probably had 3-5 hours of sleep a night.

I'd lay in bed right now, but it's no use... I can't fall asleep even though I want to and I'll just end up tossing around in bed anyhow.

Should I contact my doctor about this or wait a few days to see if it goes away?

Life finally got me to the point where I do not want to live anymore. The last thing I want you to tell me is how beautiful this life is and how much it's worth living. I DON'T want ANY persuasion not to think of this. What I need from you is this: if I kill myself, my parents and siblings will be devastated. We all grew really close and it might be too much for them to handle, especially that all seems ok to them and there are no precursors. What can I do about this? I want to put and end to my life but I don't want to hurt my family. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

My five year old has been diagnosed with ADHD, Pica, Obsesive compulsive disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Personal Boundary issues, and has some motor skill problems. All of which are parts of what seems to be consistant with what I have read in books to be characteristics of a child with Asperger's disorder..... But can't get a Doctor to take a closer look... I've even asked the doctor to look into Aspergers to see if it is a possibility... no luck.... I've even ran into a few problems of the phycologist not wanting to take a serious look because they want to blame me for his problems because I refuse to put him in public school system, I homeschool him because the public school system did more harm than good. Any suggestion to get a diagnosis or on how to treat his problems the same way they treat an Asperger kid? I've heard the earlier the entervension, the more good it will do. I need advice because I know that it is Aspergers and not just all these other things...
