Mental Health - June 2007

this is a weird question but i couldn't think of any other way to put it. well, i'm asking this question because i seem to get happy over the simplest things that other "normal" people wont care about and i get sad/upset/depressed over the other the bad things that other people just simply look over. i've thought about this and smiliar things a lot and sometimes i wonder if people are stronger than i am but i'm not sure. they don't show any sign of mercy or joy. and i've talked to a close friend of mine about it but she always says that i think too much and i do believe she is right. i know i think a lot and it makes me feel weird. there are times that i want to change but then the other times i know i dont because my life seems okay the way it is and i'm either happier or sadder than other people. it's more of a roller coaster-ish effect. well, i'll stop here because i feel like i'm talking in circles.

Why is it that if a woman doesn't have a man to vouche for her she's automatically either a lesbian, weak, or a *****.

If you're a woman and you choose to stay single then something must be wrong with you. It's not just men who think that some women have diluted themselves into thinking that you can't be strong without a man.

Why is that?

I was wondering if anyone here could help me to understand what exactly is my problem, which in recent times has become more prominent.I seem to be unable to operate and focus with people around me.Any sound when I am reading, writing, working is painful.I am doing an internship with young people and today it took me 4 a hours to do a bit of research an write 1 email,a job normally for 20 min.I don't have the " shy loner syndrome" have friends and am perfectly fine chatting to strangers and finding myself in unfamiliar social circumstances, I am also fine when it comes to multitasking,the problem arises when those two are mixed up:when the "internal"-reading,dealing with objects,writing,thinking gets interrupted by the "external"-sound, overheard words,also small talk when my mind is focused on my task.When this happens i just feel like somebody has played an ultra high sound i feel almost agressive,or just like the only thing on earth that would help me would be giant soft headphones

I get up in the morning at 5 am and before 11 am, I can feel my eyes becoming heavy and I am tired. If I sit down, I can fall asleep sitting up in the chair. This all started when my companion started working nites and kept sleeping all day in my house or wanted me to get up in the middle of the nite for sex when I had to be up at 5 am for work the next day.
Now I am literally tired all of the time and I think I am getting depressed. I wish he would just stay the hell away from me now because I think he is responsible for my sleeping problems. It used to never be a problem. Now I am tired all of the time irregardless of how much sleep I get at nite. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the nite at like 3 or 4 am and then I get really tired at work in the day. I have decided to start locking the doors and shut off the phone when he is home.
He just dont get it.

I think I might be repressing a lot of memories that arent that great. Ever since yesterday I have been hypervigilent(sp). I feel like the memories could come out any moment now and its really wearing me out. I also feel a lot of anger and I take it out on my driving. How do I get through this? I want to get the memories back but at the same time its exhausting.

The illness is when people suddenly blurt things out, u know what I mean? Like when someone is driving in a car happily, the person will suddenly blurt out swear words.. It's for a health project.

I don't as yet have a clinical Dx; I don't even care if I ever do. I've done enough research to figure it out on my own. I have a myriad of Dx's and SYNDROMES I have been labled with since I was 16, and knew every one kept missing the target. NOW I KNOW, I want to relate with others on certain matters only other Aspies can grasp.
Pre-Thanks

I lost my mother 1 month ago. I feel like I've had a protective shell around me during her 8 month illness and then her death, but now that shell is crumbling and I am feeling the pain to the very core of my being. Is this "normal"? I feel awful physically and emotionally.

This is strange bc it seems like I go through cycles where I dislike my friends and bf. At certain times, I don't want to have anything to do with either one of them, and then there are times in which everything is absolutely normal. I know it is becoming a problem, bc my friends are starting to notice my behavior, and question our friendship. Then, with my bf he has also been noticing how distant I am from him. I don't know what is going on. For some reason, I believe that it is bipolar disorder bc of the fact that I go through these cycles over and over. I think that it is going to kill this relationship. What could this be? It's like I lose interest all of a sudden

One day I feel like I'm on top of the world (but I don't act on it) but the next day I'm depressed and thinking very bad thoughts. Gladly I'm not working or going to school or anything so I don't have to worry about what others think of me. But do you think I may be bi-polar or do you think it could be just hormonal problems because I have had problems with that ever since I turned a teenager and I'm 20 now?

I am suffering from Obssessive Compulsive Disorder and Depression. I have been in the military for 5 years and I suffered from this prior to military enlistment. In the past 4 months, the symptoms have increased to the point that I can't focus and screw up all the time at work. I am being labeled as a "screw up" even though I can't help it. I have tried every medication and they don't work and counseling and doctors have failed to help as well. It is becoming near impossible to continue military service due to this condition. My chain of command and doctors have told me that I should not have been in in the first place. But the chain of command has a more negative approach--(to label you as a screw up as if you were doing it on purpose) they are aware of my condition, but it seemingly isn't being considered as an medical issue, but a disruption to them. What should I do? Am I fit to continue after 5 years and countless visits to doctors, chaplains, and counselors?

is that so hard for me to accept and believe just like most other people? I have noticed that when I am given a compliment, I always will come back and say things like, Oh, it's no big deal (when it is/was a big deal), comment on anything about myself I come back with all the negatives about me?, the list can go on and on.

I just wanted to check with you guys for opinions.

Thanks

I've noticed so many kids my age depressed, more so then adults. Even i get sad, when i can't even explain why.

Im not saying im depressed, but is there a medical reason as to why teens are so prone to depression; is it hormones?

I run into this issue more often than I should, and I'm never sure what to do. For one reason or another I can't remember if I've taken my daily dose of Lexapro...as soon as I'm convinced I took it I change my mind. The paperwork says not to double-dose, say, to make up for a skipped dose but is it worse to skip it entirely? Basically, if I can't remember taking it, should I take one now anyways? By the way, I am just seeking opinions, not binding medical advice. I realize Yahoo Answers is not a doctor.

How do you help someone you love, who has let OCD control every aspect of their life? If the person is on the wrong medication, but does not have health coverage what would you suggest this person do to help control their OCD? They can not function normaly, it affects their every day life, school, work, family, relationships, relationship with the Lord? What do you suggest?
