Mental Health - July 2007

I have a part time job in a busy night club and as much as I can put up with this job, I hate the crowds of people! They come so close to you and you can feel frustrated sometimes. Since doing this job, I get frustrated if people are too close to me e.g in super markets, crowded shops etc. I find myself feeling angry and have to get away! I don't think I am having panic attacks as it just makes me annoyed, not scared. Does anyone know if this is a mental problem I have developed? If so, does anybody else experience anything like this? I'm beginning to really worry because I don't like myself very much for being this way!

I'm not very happy anymore. I haven't been "diagnosed" with depression but its kind hat i'm thinking at the moment. What I want to know is; how do i get it diagnosed?
Also, i don't want to be on meds. Is there any natural ways of dealing with this.
I'm not wanting to kill myself or anything so it's not too bad but i don't see the point in living and i'm really not happy.
Any help would be really great.
Thanks so much,

Someone I know has begun acting very strange. He went to a therapist and actaully demanded that the therapist videotape the session because he thought that the man was going to steal his idea for an invention. Recently, we spent several days with him and his behavior was bizarre. Severe mood swings, odd statements and repetitve movements in his face and body. We think he may be on drugs. What do you think?

I get nervous about work even when ive been working there for several years. I get nervous at someone elses doctors appointment. I get nervous when I have to see someone at a hospital. I get nervous when I have to have a serious talk with somebody. I used to get nervous going to school. I used to get nervous at football practice. Is something wrong with me?

How many of you have had clinical depression for more than 4 years? Do you worry that you will never be rid of it?

I've had clinical depression in various degrees for 10 years and honestly, most of my life has been not happy. I wouldn't say UNhappy because there have been many times where I wasn't unhappy, just discontent. I don't want a life of perpetual discontent or unhappiness and I also don't want to spend the rest of my life needing medication off and on, but that seems to be what I'm looking at.

Can anyone relate?

Please, no comments about mind over matter, etc., because I know that the cause of my depression is not my mindset (for the most part). It is a medical issue.

hello everyone,
everything's fine but i was wondering if it was normal that my boyfriend had nightmares at night?
well very often i hear him shout at something during his sleep, it wakes me up, and last night he really shouted strong so i got scared and woke up, i thought there was somebody in the room, lol
how come he has that?
do you have to cure that or leave it and wait until it goes away by itself?

In this day of age is it sad that for everything you do, you could be called sick or have something wrong with you.

I mean play videogames (game addiction), watch TV (TV addict), you like staying home on friday nights (anti-social), .....
Nowadays there are so many disesases and illnesses, that statistically you might have at least on of them.
50 years ago they didn't have state of the art medicines but they also didn't have panic attacks.

Or if all of these things were allready there, then how could we have survived for so long?

Most of the time, I can't work not because of my mental illness, but because of the side effects of the medication, whether it makes you drowsy or makes you shake or whatever.

My self-esteem has plunged so deeply idk what to do. I worry to much about "looks." it's the only thing that makes me happy. I've tried that" look in the mirror and see the good things in you." It's like I have to be perfect, I am not self-narcissit neither conceited but I think my trying to be a perfection is something deep. perhaps the mental abuse i've received over the yrs? what shud i do?

I am the mother of an 10 yr old boy who was diegnosed with ADHD, OCD and Autism.We are very close. He is very worried about me getting old. Even said that he does not want me to get any more b-days because he does not want me to get old. Tonight he asked if I was going to die because my b-day is comming up. And I said that is normal that when people gets old the will die. Well, all I will say is that he had a meltdown for about 2 hrs. I know he is going to ask me again, How can I aproach this matter, without hurting him? He was talking about not wanting to die, and that he was going to die any minute. He fell asleep crying in my arms, and to calm him down I had to say it was a mistake. It broke my heart.

when im depressed or sad or cry or hold back emotions, i get headaches. there not migrains but they annoy me. so i take pain relievers. i usually double the dose that it says, and if that doesnt work within an hour i take more, if that doesnt work i take more.... and so on. but it always seems like i still have a headache... im starting to wonder if theres something wrong. and how much i really should be taking... i feel fine, not like im going to pass out or something. so far i have about 2000 mg in me right now, (ur only supposed to take 500) and i still have a headache... how much is too much and why wont my headaches go away? and if i ever do have a problem, i cant tell anyone. my parents would kick me out, my boyfriend would dump me, & my only friend would just join me. our town is so small that everyone knows everything so even if i went ot the next town, my parents would know about it anyways. not that i think that i have a problem because i dont. but please help!

Also, do you know how early (at what age) signs of it would be apparent? My mother said looking back there were signs but that she didn't know what it was -ie: I was a very moody child.

I'm starting to think I have it. I have all the signs for it and it explains a lot. I'm afraid to tell my parents in fear that they will think I'm making it up... what should I do? I don't hear voices btw. That's not always the case.

I see things that aren't there
shadows
paranoid
sometimes hear voices or sounds that don't have an original spot that it came from
angry a lot more
sleep deprived... among other signs

She already attempted earlier this year, & she's very depressed & feels like she has nobody. Her family doesn't want anything to do with her. I tried talking to her, & it's not working. She feels like nothing in her life is going to get any better. She's talking about overdosing on pills again. She said that deep in her heart, she doesn't want to do it, but she feels like she is obligated to end her life, based on other people's negative opinions about her.
