Mental Health - July 2007

I don't know what's happening. I was just listening to music when all of a sudden my head feels warm, my body is shaking with anxiety and fear, it feels like there's something stuck inside my chest that makes me want to puke/vomit, and it's a getting a little hard to breathe.

My mind is going 1000 miles an hour. I suffer from major depression and I go to a therapist, and I'm trying to implement all the techniques she is giving me, but right now it isn't helping. I just saw pictures of my ex-girlfriend (the reason im in therapy) with some guy, and its killing me. Im just walking around with such a heavy heart right now, like all the girls in my life are nuts (lol) and im feeling..hopeless in terms of love and girls. I just cant relax myself at all right now. I dont want to stay up all night worrying and have a headache tomorrow..IF anyone can give me calming thoughts, affirmations, happy thoughts, ANYTHING, I would appreciate it so much. Thanks in advance :)
ps. any uplifting songs or happy songs or something thats cool to listen to like the postal service, or something like that?

I'm 24 years old and I've never been able to figure out how to drive (I've been trying since I was 20). I've gone out so many times with my step dad that, at this point, its not even funny. I thought it could be how he instructs me so I asked my best friend for help. I still can't drive. So now I'm wondering if there are people out there who, like me, seem to have this natural inability to drive. Any ideas, comments or opinions?

My aunt and cousin have been telling me how much a phycologist can help with your problems like when your talking you can just let it all out, and afterward you feel good about it. I kindof want to see one, all the stuff that has been building up lately it sounds nice. But my mother is so against it. I can already picture her saying "they wont help you, there too expencive" but our insurance will cover it (im pretty sure) and please tell me if you think that it is wierd to see one because I want to but im just not sure?



Many points to best answer!!

So I get a call from one of my buddies and he tells me that him and a bunch of my other friends are coming in town for my friend's birthday party and they want me to come. So I'm like "Ok, this is going to be awesome. I get to dress up nice, smell good, get my drink on, maybe meet a few new people. This is going to be awesome." But for some reason, and this always happens, I am thinking of excuses to get out of it. And I don't know what it is, but I know what I am thinking of is stupid and I should just go.

I don't know why, but I get these feelings of something bad happening. I know my night won't be perfect, but I get freaked out that SOMETHING is going to happen, and it could be anything. I know that if I just go and do it, I will have a blast. But like I said, I am already thinking up of excuses not to go. Any advice on how I can calm down about this?

Today my boyfriend was hospitalized again. This time around I hope they actually focus on what the cause of his depression and that is his eating disorder. He has been suffering from it since he was younger and has been in treatment before but has relapsed. My question is what is it that I can do to help him. No matter what I'm supporting him, he's tried telling me to go, that he doesn't deserve me, but I know that the man I fell in love with is still there. I'm having some problems coping with this on my own and am in serious need of people to talk to if they have ever dealt with my kind of situation. My sister suffered from bulimia a few years ago so I do know the basics about ED but I've never really seen it happen in men and I know it does more frequently than people think, I just need to know from someones perspective how to cope. I don't want to lose him, I love him more than anything in this world and his being sick is killing me...Help!

Was wondering if anyone had any experience or could give me advice on this. I am a human with many problems ( I know we all are) But I find that an hour of counceling once a week isnt enough for me to get out everything. Should I go to two councleors consecutivly? My current councelor does not have time for another slot for me. I would ideally like to go a couple times a week to catch up and sort through all my issues. Is this a good idea or should I just be patient?
Any comments, questions or testimony would be very much appreciated?!?!? Thanks

I've been dating this guy for around 6 months now. I really love spending time with him, and I have fallen in love with him. I have a hard time seeing how he feels about me just because he's not as out in the open with his feelings. We once in a while will notice, and point out flaws in one another like most couples do. He's been getting closer to me in the past month, and has been making more of an effort to spend time with me. At the same time though, I have this crazy fear whenever he points out one of my flaws, he's not going to want to see me anymore (like he's not going to like me anymore). I also have the same thoughts whenever the idea of us getting more physical begins to arise. Are these fears irrational or common. I don't know why I'm constantly thinking he's going to say that he doesn't want to see me anymore.

I'm sick and tired of getting what I have taken away from me its ridiculous. It seems everytime I have something going for me someone comes and takes it away. When I say everything I mean from my dog to my car. I need ways to help me calm down. I feel like I'm going crazy! I get so frustrated when I don't get what I want! I want to cry!! I mean it isnt fair that evrything gets taken away and the worst part is that they get taken away by people that are suppose to be close to me. I dont know what to do anymore. I feel that if i dont get what i need soon I'm going to lose it! help me! how do i calm down how do i find peace.

I think that I am being abused by someone. When very angry, this person slaps me and hurts me, but usually not hard enough to leave bruises or lasting damage. Also, this person seems to be verbally abusive. They scream at me when angry and tell me I am not good at anything occasionally. This person also said that I should have many bruises all over my body because of the way I act. I am not a bad person. Of course I have my faults, but I never do anything illegal or terribly offensive. What should I do. I'm afraid to call the police, but I don't have any one else I can trust. Please help! If any phycologists are reading this also, is this normal. WHAT DO I DO??

I have found varying opinions when searching online. I gained a ton of weight years ago on Zyprexa, which was not the right medication for me, anyway...But I just want a straight answer about Effexor and whether there is a good proportion of people gaining weight on it. Please only answer if you're informed (i.e. you have been on it, you're a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, etc.)

Thanks.

i am always flipping out and always think someone is going to try to kidnap/rape me.
in public places have to be with someone i know; i cant walk 10 feet away from who im with.
in school, i even have to get a friend to walk up with me to sharpen my pencil/throw something away because im scared someone will come in the class and get me.
at home, the slightest noise will make my flip out & almost start crying because i think im going to die.
i keep knives on me constantly [only at home tho] to 'protect' myself
my parents think im psyco & think im just being 'sillly' and arent really scared
if im in the dark [even if other people are with me] i will start crying uncontrobally.
im scared of 'kiddy touchers' [as i call them] because all starangers to me are kiddy touchers.

idk if this has anything to do with anything but i always have to pee [i probally pee more than 15 times a day]

&&im only 13
is there something wrong with me?

nice answers only, please
