Mental Health - June 2007

good question by the beatles. Have you ever noticed how many people say they feel alone? Also if everyone would speak up about being alone we could all come together? Im just amazed at how isolated society has become. I even do it myself.

These are my emoyional issues:

1) My mom is killing herself by smoking and has scar tissue in her lungs that makes it hard to breathe anyway.

2) I might lose my best friend to someone who called my mom a b***h 4 years ago and I can'y get over it.

3) I have no one to talk to in order to get these feelings out

4) Another of my friends doesn't listen too well.

5) People baraging me with "get over it and forget about it" when it's impossible not to.

6) I wonder, after I go to college, if my mom will die and I would not have gotten the chance to tell her "I love you" one last time.

What can I do solve this, aside from seeing a psychologist?

I cant see anything helping me, i have screwed up my life and in the process killed the real me, i lived overseas and have now returned and i no longer feel at home here, but my home overseas no longer exists, i have a friend living up north adn could move there but that is not going to help me, i cant get any good jobs here that i will enjoy, i have no friends and no boyfriend and no matter whre i go now or what i do i dont feel it is going to help me as i have turned into this horrible selfish person and screwed any friendships i did have, if i move somewhre else i will be alone which would normally be fine if you were moving for a job or something or if you really wanted ot move nothing can fix the past and therefore anything i do now is not going ot make me happy, i am doomed, i am on anti depressants and seeinga counsellor but no one understands as i am the only one who has lived my life, and has now stuffed it up, i have no idea what to do now?

Any tips/tricks/reasons/and anything else you can tell me about the moment or about the way you COMPLETELY accepted yourself inside&out. If you haven't get, what are you doing to get to that point?

For me it's been around these past two weeks that i lost 15lbs [i know it may sounds vain, since weight makes a diffence in looks, etc.] but it really is what made me love myself more. and even though i'm still not at the weight i "want" I lvoe myself every moment no matter what.
So i guess you can say exercising helped me.

I take clonazapam, for my post traumatic stress and anxiety. It really helps the anxiety and stress, but leaves me wiped out, so much it can at times be hard to function. Should I take uppers, or increase my caffeine? I don't like feeling so tired. I take only 0.5- 1.00 mll a day, and sometimes not even at all.

But I think I was just halicinating. Now I don't know what to do!! I am so afraid. Do you think I should ask my dad to drop me off at my aunts house to stay with her or not?? Ideas and help please??!!

Thank You

I am currently living with this condition called Bipolar, and I do see a medical doctor but it seems not a specialist and I would like very much to, for the simple fact I think that it would help me maintain my decisions and it would stop some doubting at which would help me understand some of the times that I am not doing so well. I would like some one to monitor my condition.

Life can throw so many obstacles our way and is filled with difficult things at times. Sometimes it's too much, so it can cause me to get depressed, give up, and just generally be low all the time.

Now, instead of diagnosing me as a depressed person with an imbalance, why not just assume I'm a normal person who got served more than he could handle?

That's what irritates me about psychology/psychiatry; they throw those chemical imbalances, mental disorder diagnoses far too loosely, when you may be totaly normal, living in an insane world ( which I strongly believe is the case).

So therefore if the cause of my depression, and perhaps the cause for others' depression is REAL LIFE, rather than their own neurotransmitters,

what is the best way to deal with it?

Drugs? Talk Therapy?


So can life, by it's daily grind, bills, unfairness, materialism, bullshit, etc, cause depression, more so than something neurological?

And if so, why do docs FAVOR the neurological aspect?

My mom is the person I am closest to in my family. I am depressed. She told my brother and I that if we ever needed to talk to her we could. I feel awkward talking to her about my problems in person and I think I am depressed. I have a way with words on paper and have been told I am a good writer. I would like to have a good self esteem and a happy life before it's too late. Can I tell her that I am depressed through a note?

I am a social worker and a large number of the clients in my agency see this one psychiatrist and I think he is doing some kind of fraud. There are way to many people that he see and I think he over medicates. He will write a prescription for anything. Some people have diagnosis of bipolar and depression. Depression is a component of Bipolar and is not treated separately. I think he is just over billing Medicaid, insurance etc. How do I report him and can I do it anomalously
