Mental Health - June 2007

My wife was diagnosed with M.D.D. (major depression disorder) 6 years ago. Since then she has been cutting. And lately it's getting worse. She really wants to stop and is seeing a doctor. Also, right now she can't take meds cuz she just found out she was pregnant. How can I help her stop?

I have gradually weaned down my dose. I have been on 12.5mg the past month or so and now I have not taken anything in a week and I feel lightheaded and nautious. It's not very comfortable. Don't tell me to not stop taking it... I am fine emotionally. Thanks.

Why does everyone say a person id selfish for think of suicide? They tell me " think how it will affect others." but, if I'm supposed to worry about everyone else, then, who worries about me. If others are allow to say " I'm counting on you to...." who do I get to say that to. they don't say the others are selfish for wanting to rely on me. So why am I selfish to want some one to rely on when I need attention or help or someone to talk to.

What do you do when you've reached a point in your life when you feel burned out? I am a single parent rasing two wonderful boys. I go to school part-time and work full-time at a clinic. I am the nursing supervisor which involves alot of stress. As i sat in class last night...I came to the conclusion that I might be coming to the point of being burned out. What do you think I can do? The worst thing is I don't want to even to be a nurse anymore. And thats something I love to do.

Without going into too much detail, and sounding like a complete loon..... periodically (over the last few years) i have seasons where i have trouble sleeping due to some wickedly bad nightmares. (its not the cause entirely of why i cant sleep, but a contributing factor). I feel like i'm four as shouldnt grown people NOT get them?
I know that they most likely have something to do with unresolved issues that i need to deal with, and i've tried.
But, i still get them from time to time.
They arent nonsensical dreams, .... but, how do i say this properly? Fragmented pieces of ........ ?things past and just crazy and plain horrible. (i'm not explaining it right) but..... how do i stop having them? i've had 2 this week, and i'm tired of it.

i am a 14 year old girl and i just got out of ninth grade. i was depressed for the whole school year, and then the first few weeks of summer have been awesome. i started cutting a while ago and then stopped and started again a little bit. i think about killing myself all the time. and the other day i was on my raised porch and i just got up and climbed over the rail. it is only like a ten foot drop and there is a huge bush in the way, but i was still going to jump if just for the pain. but then i realized that unless i somehow died, i would have to explain to people what happened. and i don't want to do that. it is my worst fear to tell anyone what has been going on this past year. so i didn't jump, and i walked five miles to my best friend's house instead but i couldn't tell her why i had come. and now i don't know what to do, do i need help? should i tell people? or should i just slap myself in the face and move on. does a truly suicidal person tell people? i don't know what to do...

Preferably one on BCBS Health Options and taking new patients. Also prefer a doc who considers 'alternative' practices as a possible supplement to standard treatment.
I vaguely remember hearing about a national website where patients could review doctors, but it didn't have a memorable name and I can't find it now.

Where should I start?

I feel like my hormone levels are completely out of control. I cry, laugh, get angry, cry again. One tiny thing my boyfriend does (or doesnt do) will set me into this whole thing and I want to argue or 'make him' understand my side. I turn things around on him.

Ive never been treated for any mental health anything. My mom is a nurse at the hospital I want to go to - but I dont want my mom talking to me about it or anything.

I feel like my relationship is crumbling and Im going crazy. Like right now - I feel like crying. Why? No reason!

Who should i talk to first? Am I losing my mind? I dont want to push my soon to be fiance away from me.

I used to be/still am that fun funny girl who likes to be spontaneous but i feel like Im turning into the weepy ***** that people are afraid to approach.

I'm 15 years old and I'm completely miserable. I've suspected that I've had depression for a few years now, and I think I finally went over the edge. I haven't gone to school in 5 days and I've been writing suicide notes lately. I have every symptom for depression such as extreme guilt, anxiety (also extreme, resulting in dizziness, difficulty breathing, and difficulty concentrating), insomnia, irritability (I'm beginning to get angry over everything), a constantly depressed mood, no interest in activities I once enjoyed (all I ever want to do is sit on my computer), and I'm very, very pessimistic.

Depression does run in my family, and my Mom (who is Bi-polar) shows the same symptoms that I do. I want to tell my parents that I want therapy or to be prescribed pain killers, but how do I?

About 4-5 years ago, I tried Paxil for panic and depression. I had terrible side effects and a hard time getting off of it. Since then I've been spooked by anti-anxiety and anti-depressants. I need something though.

I have known 3 born again christians in my life,and only one of them hasn't commited suicide yet and that's probably because they're keeping all the sharp things away from her. Why are they so suicidal? Isn't suicide against their religion anyway?

I'm 33 years old and live with my mom and "baby" brother (he's 17 and about to start college here in town. My mom is disabled, and I've helped her over the years. My grandma, who we were all very close to, died suddenly a couple of years ago, and I'm still not over it. I hate my job, I have a lot of health problems, I feel older than I am. I have a lot against me at home in trying to find a way to "improve" myself, but I know I could do it if I really tried. The thing is, even if I did, it doesn't change how I've felt my whole life, which is ALONE. I've had best friends in the past, and I've had close friends, and I've had really sweet friends, but no one who understands me, who would go to the ends of the earth for me (like the hobbits in "Lord of the Rings") or who are there for me when I'm feeling down (like Bridget's friends in "Bridget Jones's Diary", etc,...).No one who wants to listen to me or be there for me or cares how badly I hurt. I can't change that, & it sucks!

I am having horrid dreams and it is affecting my love life and I think I could lose my girlfriend over them. My girl looks alot like her mother and there the problem lies. I keep closing my eyes when i am in bed and my mind starts to wander and other women's faces pop into my mind. I am sure we have all done this. But when I let my imagination go wild the picture that pops in is . .. .

MY MOTHER IN LAW !!! God horror shock......

The twist is that she is better looking than my her daughter. The mother's face is stuck in my mind and she screams things like "gimme that young c-oc-k!"

I think I am sick. I am lost. Only reply if you can help me.........

Let's say it was Paxil that did it. Would another antidepressant such as Zoloft or Prozac be okay?
