Mental Health - June 2007

My 3 year old has recently been diaginosed with post traumatic stress disorder as well as a aniextiy disorder. Is this something she will outgrow or will she have to deal with this all of her life???? They put her on prozac and she is doing good but will she need the meds all of her life?????

i can handle the vile moods and the manic states. But the constant perving at other women the exegerations, he pretends that he has seen other women to make me jeolous, and he is starting to put me down a lot. I am starting to think i have made too many allowances because of his chemical imbalance and maybe im just dealing with a jerk

I've smoked on and off for a while, but hadn't been smoking for a good length of time, and then I started again a couple of weeks ago. Mainly because I've been hanging out with a new friend who smokes often. I'm just starting to feel incredibly guilty about this, and it's keeping me up. My parents are very conservative and against smoking (I don't live at home, I'm in my 20s and live on my own in another city) and many of my family members are Mormon. Basically, I just feel like I'm a horrible person and I don't think I feel guilty enough. When I smoke, it's like it's not a big deal, but I should know that given my upbringing it is a big deal and I'm doing something that would shock my family if they found out. I'm just really embarassed and ashamed, and really don't want them to find out. I was taught in church that I should have friends that help me be my best self, so I've been disobeying that as well. Why can't I find some devout moral people who I'd enjoy being around?

I have friends but they dont feel like anything. I have a life but im tired of it.
I want to get so high i dont know who i even am. Im sick of all the bull ****.
I realize that my life probably isnt as bad as anyone else's but everything is hard to comprihend. I have trouble understanding whats the point of living when i feel this way.
Theres no logic behind it. I constiantly feel this way. Tried to talk to my friends. They just get mad at me and say your bieng stupid. Stop acting emo. Im not asking for attention but really thats not such a bad thing. I would love to be noticed. But in all honesty ive tried to gain religion but my mind permits it. It doesnt feel right to put everything i know and feel on going to heaven or not. I would love to feel better. I just dont want to go back to ******* jail.Thats what will happen if i tell my counsler.

I've suffered from depression since I was in the 3rd. grade. I now take cymbalta,limictal and provigil. There are times when I feel happy but there is also an underlying sadness that rears it's ugly head when I least expect it. I'm afraid I'll never get any better.
I've tried prozac,wellbutrin and one other med. I don't remember. Any suggestions?

I have been off lexapro 20mg for a little while now . I cant understand the withdrawal symptoms everyone is talking about. The only thing is I am still depressed. Alot of it stems from money problems. But I have marriage issues and body issues. I feel like it never worked for me in the first place. I am and have been managing my depression without meds for over 3 months. I have had a pill every once in a while but not enough to establish in my system. I am now out and I dont experience withdrawal symptoms. What am I supposed to feel? I was diagnosed with depression over a year ago.

I believe I may have depression (I have a family history of mental illness) and I know that I suffer from an eating disorder, though I have not been diagnosed. I would like to talk to someone and I have full medical coverage through my mom's insurance policy (I am over 18, but covered because I am in college). I don't want to ask her about it unless I'm sure I want to go. Does anyone know if this is generally covered under insurance? thank you.

It's hard even now to share my problems in front of a computer as I have never done it before but here goes.I believe I have some kind of mental illness judging by the way I live my life.Sometimes I wake up at 7 AM barely waking up sometimes (rarely) at 4 AM. I am 18 years old. I stay too much at the PC,have 2 voices ,a changing one and a normal one,everyone knows me by my changing one because I never used the other one.I try to do some exercises but give up the next few days,and the cycle repeats itself.This spitting fetish of mine has become a daily obsession. I am lazy.Some things that I once did with pleasure seem now just a waste of time.Most of the time my thoughts are to kill everyone that opposes me.And no I don't cry ,because all of my emotions have dried out,I am now an addicted,lifeless soul with slight attempts of recovery that mostly end up smashed.I am also very obsessive with schedules and plans. I look for order ,but I really am sloppy.I hope this can be helped.

I am trying to tapper from Lexapro. I was taking 10mg for the lats 12 months. I went down to 5mg everyday for about 3 weeks, then 5mg every other day for a week and then 5mg every three days. Then the problems started. First 4 days were horrible, I wanted to crawl of my skin. The half of 5th and 6th day were very good, now today sucks again, but not that hard likie it used to. My head feels like in cloud, I am off balance, no energy, depression, headache, no apetite, sick, foggy. My doc wanted me to go back to 5mg a day to see if it helps. What should I do, am I too far to go back???

My wife has been diagnosed with Bi-polar 1. Sometimes its very challenging, and I am not empathetic nor understanding of her situation. I think a support group would help me out in this situation. By the way we live in Mesa, AZ. Thanks.

I am experiencing loss of appetite which has resulted in noticable weight loss, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, extreme sadness that affects my day to day activities, loss of motivation in life and work, etc.

These symptoms have been occuring for over a month now, maybe two and I can't seem to pull myself out of it. Friends haven't been able to help, going out hasn't, family helps my mood temporarily but I can't find a permanent solution. I've tried running, dancing, reading, etc. but nothing seems to help.

There are stressors in my life that are beyong my control and I am having a hard time dealing with them. I think I need help and I know don't know where to turn.
