Mental Health - June 2007

I'm 14 years old and I think I could be bi-polar. I know that when you're bi-polar you go from being really happy to suddenly really depressed. I'm not sure I'm ever really happy, but I can be totally alright and then something stupid happens, like I drop my cell phone or something and I'll lose it. I'll get so mad and start yelling at everyone. I really don't know what's going on with my stupid brain anymore. I've already been diagnosed with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. And I'm a guy so I'm not just PMSing. Do you think I could be bi-polar?

last night i was lying in bed with my lights on reading. i started to get really tired and as i was putting away my book i just started zoning out, staring at a wall for no reason. then all of a sudden i couldnt move. at all. i started breathing EXTREMELY heavily, and i tried to move my right arm but it felt like it was moving really slowly.. like crazy slowly... i could move to look at it so idk if it actually moved at all.... i went on brathing like this unable to move for about 5-6 ish minutes but it felt like way longer. (i have a clock by my bed) just after the episode, i was really extremely sleepy but i managed to stay awake. i have been looking into it on google and on other peoples questions but none of them seem the same.. so far ive come up with 3 possibilities:
1 sleep paralysis
2 night terrors
3 i dreamed it... @_@
sorry its kinda long.. i just like to go into lots of detail and i would appreciate it if you would go into just as much detail with your answer

Becase I have my mid-year exams coming up in the next week, but I am in one of my black hole state of mind. It doesn't last long, but I really couldn't be bothered doing anything. It all seems too hard really. I don't want to fail, but at this rate I will.

How do I get myself to actually sit down and study for more than half an hour a day?

I've had it since at least i was five or six, and i know the hazards. I feel i go crazyier about quitting. I know there are lots of guys who have this fetish and i do notice some women have it to. I sometimes don't know what to do, and knowing quitting is that much harder. What have others done who has/had this fetish.

I didnt really knew that depression is caused because of imbalance of chemicals. and this may sound silly and many people dont even believe it, but its true. I heard a lot of stuff, I saw few documentaries about how playing games on a computer affects a person.

now I found out the reason what could cause my waves of depression.
when a person plays video games, some chemicals releases into the body (adrenaline, dopamine). a person becomes literally adDicted to playing video games. I was playing games for 5 - 10 hours per day. my record is 18 hours of playing. video games were my life. when I was beaten, I found comfort in video games. I remember when my parents forbid me playing video games. I thought I'm gonna go mad and lose my mind, I couldnt stand without playing a game.

I was told by my gf that I have codependency issues I tried the groups she recomended but they all use the 12 step program and I got the feeling that the issue there is about getting people to submit to God more than it is about people helping people. So I'm looking for something more scientific and a lot less "spiritual"
Thanks in advance.

i've got a brother and he's now 17 years old. he's got some problem like he always close the tap very tight and worry about those small small things for the whole day. he will ask you the same question for more than 10 times a day and sometimes having difficulties to fall asleep. we sent him to see a clinical psychologist at the general hospital and the doctor said he's been diagnosed with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and always ask him to get the pills and go home without providing any therapy or treatment. anyone know any good counselor in Malaysia?

A college friend of mine died suddenly last week of a heart attack. He was a young guy too. I can't believe it. Tonight is his wake and I am sick on the stomach about the whole thing really. I didn't really know his family, but am torn whether I should go or not. I really don't want to see him laid out in a coffin when I remember him as being a happy-go -lucky guy and always fun to hang out with. Serious advice only please.
