Mental Health - June 2007

It's been 11 years now that I have it. Voices, blah bla blah. I go off the meds all the time because I can't stand being on medication and that's OK for me. I have read about orthomolecular medicine, but that is likely to destroy my liver. I've been praying too and reading the bible 10000000000 times, but nothing helps! What can I do?

Ok... let's see. How... what was I gonna say? um... I forgot.... Oh yea... right.... Why do I always have such short term memory loss? I could be in the middle of a sentence, and forget what I was going to say. Or, going into a room, and forget what I went in there for! What causes that, and how to remedy it?

No wize cracks please! I'm very serious!

I'll be 20 in about a week and still no job! I have applied to over 100 places in 2 years. I have had 3 unsuccessful interviews. The applications I've turned in have no references on them, so that is why I don't get any offers. Should I just give up? I get really scared when I think about my future. I have a year left of school tell I get my AA degree, but then what? I seriously can look into a life of despair, a path to nothing. I've been really depressed lately.
My boyfriend is starting his new job tommorow, he is on his 2nd job and younger then me. I'm really happy for him but this makes me more nervous about myself.
I want to be able to support myself, and make a decent income. I don't ask for much. I only ask to live. Am I totally hopeless? :(

My entire life I have hated every single person I know. I despise my family, and only choose my friends based off the people I hate the least. Everyone is always so obnoxious and stupid. Most people just conform to how everyone else acts, so this idiocy spreads. Nothing is mentally wrong with me: I know the difference between right and wrong, and I'm near the top of my class. All I see all my life is other people trying whatever they can to make their lives as easy as possible for themselves and then act foolishly even though they know they were acting foolishly at the time, then they make crappy excuses for themselves. Whenever I try and criticize people, everyone always just uses the same little quibble: "you're only 15, you don't know anything." I'm sure they think that we're all going through the same thing, but life's not a procedure like that and they really don't know what they're talking about. No one realizes that maturity won't come to you, you have to find it yourself

He's 21 yrs old. About 4-5 years ago, he got in an argument with a cop at our high school...The cop approached him and got in HIS face, which caused him to shove the cop a little. So, he immediately got expelled from school and was sent to a psychiatric hospital for 7 days. They did an evalutation of the incident, the "shove", and ended up prescribing him to geodon, lamictal and he was already taking lexapro.

Well, its been years and hes still taking it all. When he runs out of the meds, and esp. when he drinks a lot...he yells stuff out a lot and he pushes me around & pinches me like hes just playing around.

My dad says hes dangerous. I had to call my dad during a fight we got in when he was drinking, and he sent the cops over too. I've been w/ my bf for 2 years. Hes a sweet, charming guy but I feel like these meds have screwed him up so he can't get off them

Does anyone know anything about these meds, lamictal geodon + lexapro? He says he is bi-polar, but my dad thinks theres more

I feel left out because There are like no (recent)movies or TV shows that tell a story about kids with hard lives with abusive parents or alcholic parents, etc. Like its all about perfect kids/teens living perfect lives. Am I right to feel frustrated to feel mad and left out and stuff or am I wrong?
Why or why not?

I walk and move like a robot, and I don't know why. I don't dance or anything because I feel very 'tense' and I always think that everyone's looking at me, even though I know they aren't.
How can I just loosen up, and dance, jump, and do embarrassing stuff like I haven't done in years?!

Recently, I had a job offer that was more money (25% + more)and promotion. Because of greed of getting more money than the original offer, I held back. Because of my mistake, the deal fell through and the employer hired someone else. This has been really bothering me. It has been nearly three months now and I can't get past this. I cannot even focus on my current job and my family. I don't know what to do. I feel like I missed out and it's bothering me beyond words. I have never felt like this before. Call it crazy, but I sometimes even get to tears. Help! How can I overcome this? How would you rank this in terms of a regretful life event? Thank you for your help.

One time i got more drunk than usual. I started to speak with friends without any stuttering, the whole night. Usually(when iam not drunk) iam the silent one, not the talkative one. Especially that night, whatever the topics my friends started to speak, I just continued with it and gave them good ideas. And i was speaking all night without a stuttering problem, I was'nt even thing about it.
Before drinking i had a stuttering prob. After drinking i don't. Next morning everyone of my friends told be me that i am a talkative guy. Right after the moment they gave me compliment. I replied to them with a stuttering voice. To solve my prob. i cannot get 24/7 drunk. Normally, if i want to say something to anyone, i start with words exactly what i want to say. But somewhere in the middle, i just forward-scan the words iam gonna say. The self-consious says i can't say that particular word. So, i take a turn, that turn takes another turn. I totally mess-up. Something soo easy to say, i mess up.

i know that most children come to the realization of death, or mortality. I have heard of children having trouble sleeping, fearing their parent will die, and going through almost a 'pre-teen seperation anxiety". Has anyone gone through this or have any suggestions to help get the child out of this?

Hey, I am 24 and have been through a few jobs, some i stayed forever even though i hated it and some did like but not enough hours. The problem i have, is I always , always, feel so guilty quitting a job. Its takes me weeks to even get the nerve to give notice, and my family and friends always have to hear me talk about it 24/7. I feel its the only thing that defines me sometimes (my job), because thats all people ask me all the time..so when i quit jobs i feel like a loser even though the job makes me very miserable. For example i worked one job 2 years as a first aid attendent, i got so bored of it, i drove myself into booze and depression, if i would have just quit that wouldnt have happened. I am looking for a job right now again, but trying to be picky so i can actually have fun going to work once in awhile. But i cannot understand the huge guilt trip i get on when i quit a job, anyone else like this? and how can i just forget and move on from old jobs...thanks for any advice

Why wouldn't they be accountable and just give me their best guess. if they can spend their whole morning on yahoo they can at least answer my question. not tell me to see a councelor
NOTE: Accountability is a term used by councelors. I have more knowledge about "counceling" than some of you will have accumulated in your life time.

Can you go to a college counselor to talk about your general well-being? I know they usually give advice on the classes to take, and the major you want. I was just wondering if they get people coming in to talk about life and problems.
