I was sitting alone in a park the other night in a city centre, I was all alone except for a couple walking a good 50 yards away. I was just sitting, thinking when I heard the voice of what sounded like an old woman laughing at me, like a really evil giggling. I stood up instantly, expecting to see some old homeless lady behind me or something, but noone was anywhere near. I checked behind the trees and even in the drains, THATS how close the voice sounded to my ear. So I went and sat on another bench, really freaked out by this evil invisible troll woman. I asked a lady walking past to do a giggle when she got to the same point of the park as this couple were, to see if there was any chance it was them, although she probably thought i was nuts, she did, and no, I could barely hear her and what I could hear souned echoed and far away. My bf says it could just be part of a daydream. (I never usually daydream, not sure how!) Has anyone else had this who ISNT mad? Thanks.

I have a relative who is bi-polar, but how can you really tell the difference between that and a hormone imbalance? I was reading stuff about them online and they seemed similar.

suffered from severe anxiety attacks and it is only when i drive i get really depressed when it happens because i am not in controll of my life like i used to be. i am used to driving my own car, now my b/f has to chauffer us around and i hate it because i remember when i used to drive myself. it has taken a toll on my social life and i dont want to go places because i am afraid that i will have to drive and. i think that my problem comes from the fact that my sister and i used to drive a lot of places and now she is not here. this has been going on for too long and i need help but i am not sure how to ask for it. my dr. put me on buspirone 2 years ago but i never took it long enough for it to work. i dont really want to take meds. but i will if i have to. i was just wondering if anyone has this problem and if so can they give me some advice. i cant stop driving because i have to work but i dont want to hurt myself or some one else

I have a hard time keeping the house clean. I do well in many other areas of my life, but when it comes to keeping the house clean, you can just see my depression everywhere. I am so ashamed and it keeps me from feeling like I can have people over....I will say that I am keeping up with the dishes now and have been for 2 years. I am proud of myself for that. BUT, so many of the other major things that needs to be done, go undone. I feel awful. I love my husband and children SOO much, but I can't seem to find the energy. Help please...any advice for those of you who have been through this. Thank you.

I am a very positive person. I see the best in life and am grateful for the fact that my life is better than most people's.

But currently for some particular events, I am stuck badly. I don't have any solution to the problem and talking to others did not help at all. What should I do?

I am depressed, sad and having suicidal thoughts. I don't want to have them but its difficult for me to get over it.

For the record, I think it's disgusting and nauseating, but someone just posted a weird question about sexual attraction to an object. To each his own of course, but can you say 'mentally disturbed?' Is beastiality considered a mental disorder or what exactly?

I work from 6pm to 12am. I want to change my hours to 3pm till 9pm. The reason being, is because I get depressed when everyones sleeping and im awake and vice versa. My husband is over in iraq and im feeling alone. But my boss will not take that for a valid reason. What do you think I should tell her why I want to get my scheduale changed? If i say im taking classes, shes the type that would want to see proof.

Like if you paid for a counseling session, & the counselor blamed you for all your problems & made it like you were the cause & didn't tell you how to cope with your problems?

That has happened to me before, & I felt ripped off. Well I guess I should consider the source since she was a counselor "in training". I have a counseling session today that I have to pay for, & I'm afraid to go because of that.

A few days ago I wrote to get advice about a man who just will not leave me alone.Thank you for the advice.?
OHHHHH! He is making me crazy and sad.Please take a peek at my question from a few days ago.I didnt have enough room to write everything here.Here are some of the things that he says to me when I break up with him.What do you think?:

Why won't you let me be your boyfriend? Why don't you want me, like I want you? Why won't you be my girlfriend? I don't understand. I just want you to want me. I just want you to touch me, to hug me, to kiss me....I just want to be with you. Why won't you let me be your boyfriend?

Why can't I ever be happy? What am I doing wrong? Why do I always have to be alone? I don't understand. What's wrong with me? Why won't you be with me? I'm so sad. I'm so very sad & alone. And you won't be with me. No one will.

I tried so hard. I really tried to be your boyfriend. I tried to be good to you. As good as I can be & I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Sonya, I'm so alone all the time. I don't want to be alone anymore. Why won't you be my girlfriend? Why can't we be happy together? I don't know what to do anymore. I'm trying so hard to be a good man. I don't know how to be better.

I wish you'd come back to me.

With love,
Kevin

In your opinions, which kind of mental help is the most effective?

2007-07-30 03:59:43 · 17 answers · asked by KittenMcDuck 3

He is very strong-willed most of the time, and has no real friends to speak of. One of his compulsions is to leave the house in the morning, and come back, as if he forgets something. He does this every single day. Unfortunately, as he continues to age, his OCD and weird behavior is becoming more pronounced and difficult to deal with, in my opinion. It isn't like he washes his hands or anything like that (he's actually quite a slob), but he is becoming harding to deal with as he is very argumentative and always has to prove that he's right or that he's in charge (of what, I don't know). He's been unbearable to go out to eat with, because he tries to argue with the servers, or he tells them before he even gets his food that "the last time he got a salad they didn't put enought lettuce on, and [he] doesn't want to get 'short changed'," which is a lie. He refuses all & any meds (because of the side effects) and he won't see a therapist (because he's stubborn and cheap).

Any advice?

I have been going through a serious depression for a long time. I feel really lonely because I have no friends to talk to. I'm 32 years old, almost 33, and I suffered from social anxiety my whole life. I had trouble making friends because I was afraid of what people thought about me, and I missed out on socializing. I've also never had a girlfriend and probably never will have one either. I know, pretty pathetic for a guy my age. I feel like a worthless piece of crap and everyday and every second I think of killing myself. I feel like as long as I live on this earth, there is no hope for me. I feel the only way to escape is to die. I have two loving parents, but it's just not enough. I feel like nobody cares and everything in the world just feels wrong. I just want to get away. I am unable to relax and a lot of the time I feel like crying. Maybe I feel depressed because my life really is a joke and it is pathetic. Should I just end it all if there's no hope?

Something like once every 2 months i will get this really weird super fast forward mode in my head. Where it seems that everything is going really fast, everyone seems to be talking fast, when i type on the computer, it looks like my fingers are going super fast, but they aren't.

I think it happens when i hear something repetitive, like a music tune or sound. Can any one explain this?
