Mental Health - June 2007

I am really forgetful. I forget everything, like little details such as what I ate for breakfast and stuff (not what my name is, who my family is, etc). It's really annoying. I have a qustion in my head and forget it as soon as I'm about to ask it. I walk into a room and forget why I went there. So can someone please tell me if there is a mental condition that causes someone to be really forgetful? I'm young, in good shape, and I don't have any Alheizmers in my family.

Just curious...Do you still have to take regular nursing programs beforehand or is it mainly practising the mental health field? Because I am not into anatomy or physiology but I like the mental health field. Will psychiatric nurses even be in demand in the future? Is it a good profession to go into or is it stressful?

Why is it that when you talk to someone and trust someone they always end up leaving??? And when they leave you feel alone and forgotten about and like you don't matter and that you are a piece of trash

I would never do it, but when i get really stressed out or angry i think about just killing myself and it helps me to calm down.
I would NEVER do it jsut to repeat myself, i have 2 beautiful girls, that i live for, if id id'nt have them i might,
i was jsut wanting to know if it was normal tohave these kinds of thoughts every once in a while. it does scare me to a point but i know i wouldn't do it

My aunt has been brainwashing her mom, my grandma. She's doing this so my grandma will change her will so my aunt will get all of the money when she dies. Our whole family knows this, except my grandma who refuses to believe us. Why she wont believe us is beyond me. She has 10 kids, and many more grandchildren. It's gotten to the point where my aunt has gotten my grandma to believe she's sick, and has had a stroke. She's lost interest in things she has once loved, and nobody knows what to do. I'm only 16, but I feel helpless. We've tried getting a restraining order, or something along those lines, but we need my grandma to agree with it so it can be accepted. I've almost lost all hope, and need some suggestions on what we can do to save my grandma!

I had a weird dream that I died 4 years before the date it actually was. In this dream, it was snowing when I really thought it was summer (it was feb.2nd). If you have ever seen the movie the 6th sense you will understand this better. I died in a car accident, but I did not know it. The person I was with (my mother) told me that I was actually dead and that the date was 4 years after my death...(I must have been a ghost or something) I looked at a newspaper too in the dream to see the date. I tried to visit all my friends and my girlfriend and no one knew I existed. I woke up crying which is something that hasn't ever happened to me. crying is something that hasn't happened to me for a very long time and I don't usually show emotion unless it is with my girl.

Am I on the verge of a breakdown or something? What's going on..

My fiance and i have been together for 7 1/2 years...about 3 1/2 years ago he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Needless to say it has been a long hard road and the medications that have been tried only make the mood swings worse (alot worse).... I know that alot of the time he cannot help some of the things he says/does (most of the time he can't remember what he's said to me during some of his episodes). I really love him and we have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and I am 6 months pregnant with our son. But sometimes I wonder why I'm still here. I guess my questions are what can i do to better deal with this disorder? How can I help him to better deal with it? And most importantly, how do i keep myself from resenting him for things that he doesn't remember?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...and please don't answer if your only doing it for the points.

I have been feeling really really wierd lately. I am struggling with anxiety mixed with depression. I feel really out of it, like dizzy, floating along and just plain wierd. I have been taking nerve pills called atarax whenever I feel a panic attack or just really nervous before it starts. But for the past few days, I feel terrified that I am going insane, I am terrified of dying. I am now afraid to lay down at night to go to sleep because I fear a panic attack and think that I hear things. Am I just overreacting or is there something serious here? Plus, my chest has been very painful, I feel like someone is pushing on it. Is it gas, something simple? I just need answers, I need reassurance that I'm okay. I know no one is probally a doctor, but please help me. I need somethings to think or do to help me relax. I am 20 years old and a female by the way, if that helps explain the chest problems or whatever else. Thanks everyone!!!

I have been on parole for one year. I am attending a junior college with a 3.8 average. I have attended classes for 3 quarters and soon I will need to take classes that have field placements. I need to be off of parole to participate in this intership program. There is a possibility that I may have to do three more years on parole. I find out if I'm off parole in July or if I gotta do three more years. What can I do if I am stuck doing three more years of parole as this will cause me to have to possibly leave school?

Zoloft (Sertraline) is an anti-depressant. I have been on it for post-partum issues...(stupid hormones!!) So, my question is, if you have taken this drug, what symptoms did you experience after you quit? (YES, I HAVE TALKED TO MY DOCTOR, NOW I'M TRYING TO POLL THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SO DON'T YELL AT ME.) Hmmm....maybe it's too soon....

Have any of you ever been completely insecure, quiet, introverted, unsure of them selves and then all of the sudden seens the light and been able to change and become outgoing, self assured...etc? Or is this something I have to battle my whole life?

For a long time I have been having episodes of where I just feel so overwhelmed that I can not function.. I have left work literally shaking because of the stress that I was under.. I have no desire to clean house, cook, or anything else.. Just want to be left alone.. My husband drinks and is gone either playing pool or fishing about 4-5 days a week plus he works full time, which leaves me with our child, a full time (night) job, cooking, and other household jobs while trying to find the time to sleep so that I can work.. I have been trying to either get him to agree to move back home or just plain leave him (called the cops when I did that).. I don't want to feel like this because it interfers with how I interact with our daughter.. Hubby acts like he could care less.. just as long as there's food on the table and his clothes are washed and put away..
Any suggestions???? My doctor has suggested Cymbalta.. I just dont want to take anymore pills..

My husband and I are grieving and his brother was killed in the war recently and now my hubby's parents are taking all of the inheritance and moving far away from us and my hubby's sister and they are pretty much dumping his big sister and her 3 year old daughter on us!! and his sis is a mean, violent, slob!! we understand how hard this is on his parents but... why are they doing this to us? they seem angry that my hubby is alive and that their golden child died. so the story is they are moving far away(for no reason) from us and his sister, they are taking all the inheritance $$$ that my hubby and his sis are entitled to but they wont hand over, and dumping his sister on us because they are done being free room & board & freee babysitter, big sis keeps saying no matter where we move she is going to follow!!! Im sick of this someone plz tell us what we can do. we have tried doing and saying anything nice u could think of and nothing is working. what should we do?
