Mental Health - July 2007

I am a very weird person in my eyes. I mean, I always think something bad is going to happen. I never wana be home alone because I think someone will kill me. Im always shy around people too. I just don't like to talk to people and people are always like whats wrong and Im always just thinking paranoid thoughts about life and stuff. I usually just don't want to talk to people and they keep persisting me. I have a hard time trusting people and I always think someone is out to get me. I think about that I'm going to die soon or someone will hurt me... Is there something wrong with me?

I am intense and superfocused anyway (ADHD), and I used to write for 10 hours non-stop. Now that I've been involved in digital photography, I am so into it, and I'm so engrossed, I forget to eat -- to the point that if someone asks me whether I ate anything that day, I have to think back and often I realize I haven't. I also don't sleep much. I'm good at photography, but that's a secondary issue at the moment. How do I get control over this compulsion to create my art?

I almost think so. I'm of the attitude that if something bad happens, deal with it, move on and stop moaping about the past or present situation. I have seen too many instances where "depression" is used to get out of things in life.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a good women's clinic in NYC?

Okay, my friend has post partum depression & I think it's really bad because she doesn't want anything to do with her daughter and she's kind've taking it out on everybody else. I think she needs to get evaluated for it so she can get some help. She wants absolutely nothing to do with her and she gets mad when I tell her well you're her mother atleast tolerate her until you can get some help. Because acting the way you are isn't helping anyone. But then she just gets mad at me. She's my best-friend and I just hope I can find her a good place for help. Thanks for reading this & I hope you guys can give me some really good tips and or advice.

Ok. Let me start out by saying that this is really strange and would like serious answers only.

So sometimes, well more than sometimes I have this thought in my head. It's pretty gross I guess. I somethings think about dismembering a human body. But the really strange thing is that I don't kill the person, I just see the dead body and tear it apart. I am in no way homicidal. Just really keep thinking about ripping it apart and thinking of what I could do with the singled out parts.

Now the question is should I tell my psychiatrist about that? I am in fear that they will lock me up or something. I really don't feel like I am a threat to anyone, well besides myself sometimes but thats neither here or there. And the other question is what could be causing these thoughts?

I've been a poet for quite some time now, and I've also written many books, and no, I don't think I'm depressed in any way, that poem I asked to be commented? So what? It doesn't mean I'm depressed, all of a sudden someone thinks "Oh god, he needs professional help!" Well listen here, I don't need help, I'm perfectly happy with myself, I don't feel depressed, sure, I've been picked on and bullied for many years, does that mean I'm depressed? I don't think so. I'm sure you're concerned but you shouldn't be. Now if I wrote something like "OK, I'm gonna kill myself" Then you'd have something to be concerned about. But you don't I'm not depressed. I just write poems, THIS, is just my style of poetry. If it seems like I'm gonna hurt myself, well, I'm not, I feel completely sane... So next time I write a poem, please don't think something along the lines of "he needs professional help." I can take critisim, but saying stuff like I'm utterly depressed when I'm not I don't like.

I'm spinning out of control (see previous posts for details) and am now fighting the urge to cut again. I don't want to give into this, but if it gets any stronger I won't want to be talked out of it.

Does anyone know of someone I can call to talk to NOW to help get me past this? It's not a suicide issue, it's not even parasuicidal, it's a faulty coping mechanism - but if I don't break it now, it is going to break me.

What would the person have to look like, act like for you as a hirer to feel threatened by them, extremely uncommunicative, etc.., or to simply not like the person?
want out as quick as possible when they come in for an interview? And makes them want to lie about a position being open or not, and be vague about who does the hiring and throw them off on how to contact them, and embarrass and humiliate in front of everyone else in the restaurant?

Okay I was told by a shrink that i have bipolar disorder. They put me on wellbutrin, it gave em terrible migranes. Straight off of wellbutrin onto lexapro, that gave insomnia. They will not prescribe me anything else, is it really possible to control the issues in my head without medication?

all my life i've been searching for something. I was 8 years old when I was sent 120 miles south to a boarding school where the rest of the kids bummed me. I've never had a girl friend and they thing I am evil. Why? In the end I exercise to extremes to the point where my feet bleed and I can feel nothing. Pain is the only thing that seems real for me. Why? Why do i have to suffer?

I got a new job that is hard and there are alot of things to remember. I get overwhelmed and my hands start to shake. I work for a dentist so this isn't good when passing instruments.I am afraid if I tell, he won't keep me since he wanted me to fill in for someone during July. After that he'll see if he wants to keep me. I act as normal as possible but don't want him upset because he might think I can't do my job.

I always take it at 6am. I set an alarm clock. But now, it's 7:30pm and I'm not sure if I've taken it today or not. Should I take it now?

Last night I went to bed very late and slept till noon. I don't remember if I set the clock or not.

I don't feel particularly depressed now (not worse than everyday), but I've got a strange feeling in my head, and earlier today I was feeling so annoyed at everything in the world (which btw did make sense to some extent).

It's a 75mg capsule.
