Mental Health - July 2007

This is the WORST time of year for me. 2 decades ago this week, I was discovered exposed to 5 x lethal dosage of Carbon Monoxide (CO) while I was alone. I lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, because nothing I ate tasted right, my senses went topsy-turvy...cold/hot, my mind gradually berserk, amazingly, those last two weeks, not eating or sleeping kept me ALIVE. I'm a medical MIRACLE. Over a period of 3 months from May thru July I was exposed intermittently. I gradually slipped from reality. Afterwards, I had a 2nd adolescence, I changed drastically, evolved into a completely different person with dyslexia, headaches daily. I even became bisexual ever since after being straight. Recently, my therapist prescribed me 300mg WELLBUTRIN for mild depression and to help me focus. I now feel almost like I did during that exposure, overreacting, anxious,etc. Could my brain damage be stimulated with this medication, causing a psychotic reaction? I lost friends over this, I need PROFESSIONAL ADVICE, PLEASE

What kind of degree do you need to work in a pharmacy. Not as the main boss or Pharmisist, but as a helper or side worker.

I know you don't know her personally but based on what you do know, what do you think is wrong with her?

If the answer is yes: which it probably is I feel screwed, You name the medication : I have taken it. The only thing that helps is Xanax to curb my anxiety & help me sleep. All SSRI's & anti whatever's worked to little or no avail & gave me bad side effects. I'm unemployed, living with my parents & getting help in TX w/o money (having to go thru state social services) is like trying to get from a water spout. Even Dr's are frustrated with me. I know nothing is hopeless but I feel like it is. I also have physical ailments & I can never tell if they;re related to my disorder or if I'm really sick. I.E. sometimes I get violently sick to my stomach & I can't tell if it's from stress or if I have a stomach flu.

im a 30 year old borderline personality disorderer sufferer, ive endured alot of abuse, victimization, trauma and bullying in my life.....everytime i have to go out its an ordeal because of high levels of anxiety and panic, and trying to control chronic feelings of rage that ive had for a long time to...which i worry about because i never want to lose control......so the pressures on everytime i go out....plus i have paranoid feelings that im being victimised now and the systems against me or people in society....im waiting for therapy.

but whilst i was out yesterday going about my daily buisiness, i was walking along the sidewalk, and some buisiness woman was behind me talking into a mobile phone, and i heard her say '' yeah hes just trying to put a brave face on it''... & i carried on walking feeling angry and confused....i was thinking, was she insinuating anything against me....because she knew i was in earshot to be able to hear what she said..
why did i think this? & how do i

I just wanted to know if I had a problem or if this is normal. It's not exactly a life changing problem but here I go. I feel as though I get paranoid too much. Here are my symptoms.
1. When I am in class and sit in the front row, I get the feeling that I am so vulnerable to pranks and such and that people are making fun of me. Well this could mean that I'm insecure but continue reading 2. In the darkness I always get the feeling that someone or something is there. One night I woke up six or seven times because of the slightest sounds. 3. When I walk home in the dark, I sometime get paranoid of killers or muggers in a perfectly safe environment. 4. I feel as though a bug is on me when my shirt moves a little and can't help but to scratch the spot.

One reminder, I don't do drugs.

This whole year I noticed I worry about germs a lot... Like I hate touching garbage cans, or if I touch anything like a door knob I always have to wash my hands. Everyday, after I use the computer, I always wash the mouse and kay board because I'm worried about germs. Its crazy... Any thoughts?

I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse and battery. I am trying really really hard to stay positive! But I have alot of suppressed rage! I did attend church but my anger has caused me to make a fool out of myself over and over again! Church does help! But I feel guilty about bringing my problems to them. I almost hit a guy at a department store because the line was crowded. You couldn't tell where it began and where it ended. He was very rude to me. I LITERALLY SNAPPED! I was so so close to getting violent. Sometimes I'm afraid of myslef! When I was in the military I fractured my right hand all the way up my wrist from a boxer's fracture. I was discharged do to my potential of being violent. My discharge was general under honorable. When I was just a child I beat up a kid 3 times my size. I was only a teenager and he was a senior in high school. I'm not proud of this! I really need help! I fell guilty about sharing my problems with others.

Well I didn't know about it until I came across it on a Health channel. Recently I was remembering just how hard my winters usually are. It always seems like I feel so down during the winter. This winter I ended up crying myself to sleep every night, I felt slightly suicidal which is not normal because I am usually a very happy person, I would just have meltdowns at school, I never felt rested, I didn't want to see any of my friends and overall I felt hopeless. I started having to see the social worker at school which I know is not normal. But it seemed as soon as the end of March came, I felt so much better and optimistic. Does anyone think they might know what is wrong with me and what I should do about it?

My doctor said Lexapro, Wellbutrin, and effexor could be possible ideas. These products websites don't say anything about the ADD part, however.

the feeling is i get really comfortable and dne i noticed getting sleepy and i go like omg this feels so good let me sleep and i do it and regret it when i wake up

i cant do this i have homework every day!

plus when i read a book i get that sleepy feeling also

BUT BUT if i am sleepy and someone says lets go eat and i go ill be wide awake again

i think walking around the house and drinkign water might help

but i gotta get the reading going and not sleep! (maybe not reading at my house would make sure im awake?)

The idea of doing a public speech terrifies me, and it has been affecting my performance at school, instead of going to speech class I just walk around the halls or i go home. I'm uncomfortable around people i dont know, but the more I interact with them, then i can socialize better, and i have trouble making friends, because i'm afraid to go up to someone and interact.

it's hard when you're depressed and on medications. I've had relasp, I know myself I'm not getting any better, on med for over 1 year now . I've panic disorder, ptsd, severe depression, anxiety .... pschyiatrist recomand a shock therapy treatment. I've done a lot of research in it and discovered it's the last thing I'd do if nothing is helping. I went to mood and anxiety councelling didn't work that well.. end up more depress, suicide thoughts.Other peoples opinions on ect made me scare and have a posibility of getting cure,but memory loss, low concentration, but saves someones life.. help don't know who to talk to. I have lots of questions and worries.. don't know which path to take...I know that talking about stress and what I've been through doesn't help much ...end up crying for couple days .. I did search on internet about it ...the articles only report some good stuffs and bad results....but the worst..as in death result% patients would not be reported .help big decision...
