Mental Health - July 2007

when i was a child between the ages of like 5 and 10 I remember suddenly hearing the clock ticking and it was going like 3 times the speed it normally was. All the sounds that i was hearing seemed as if they were triple speed, everything i heard was sped up basically.
I remember going to my mother and telling her that "everything was going too fast" and I couldn't seem to talk quickly enough. She always told me to go to my room (she had 9 kids so we were all pretty much told to go away if it was a minor issue).
I remember feeling scared and the noises were loud even though they were normal noises. It wasn't constantly like that, just sometimes. movements too were really fast, like when my mom would answer me, it was like she was on fast forward when you are skimming through a video.
Has anyone ever heard of that or know what the heck I am talking about?
Thanks for your time!!

I have panic attacks, and I'm going to Warped Tour this year. I think that would be horrible to get an extreme episode there. Is there any way to stop it when you feel one coming on?

I feel like a dummy. But then again my bad grades in school were beyond my control. How could you make a D in sex ed? It's an easy A, but because of the situations I've been going through all summer made me just depressed & immobile. Can't get outta bed-type depressed. Well, I guess you would expect bad grades from a student who's been out of school for a while, & having mommy & brother misuse her money, then being kicked out & threatened & then becoming homeless & then being kicked out the shelter for not going to church b/c I had to study, & then getting my own apartment & buying a car that turned out to be trash. & being just let out the mental hospital in April from someone trying to stab me & then me attempting suicide. Maybe I wasn't ready to go back to school. I'm a college grad. but I'm going back to school to try to strengthen my GPA but it looks like I'm setting my expectations too high & will never make it b/c of my mental disability.

Have you ever wondered why schizophrenic people yell and scream at the air? Ever wonder why they are able to see things that we claim are not there? Ever wonder why they do things that the "Voices" tell them to do?
Are they really crazy or are their senses keenly sensitive to the unknown forces of the evil spirit world?

My mother is insane. She divorced my dad when i was liek 3 months.. for good reson tho, and now im 15 nd its just me nd her. Money's tight, she constantly blames everything on me. She drinks too much and getsviolent. She compares me to my friends and calls me horrific things. She sets quotas for money that i cant reach. She yells at me to get a better job, but the only one i can find is at an art studio which is sparatic work nd i only get $20 for 2 hours, which isnt bad, but she wont accept it. She takes all the money i make anyway. She blames me for the divorce, and tells me im a failure and i will get nowhere in life. She says i cant compare with my friends and she just broke my cell phone, and i think my finger. It could just be jammed tho.Shes always throwing me out only to retrieveme 10 min later and then throw me out again. I have nofamily member to talk to, and i feel all alone.. i dont no how to deal with this anymore. im afraid at wat i might do cuz I cant take it any longer

Probably sounds like a strange question but I'm unsure whether visiting my GP and saying 'I think I'm depressed' is the correct way to go about asking my doctor for a diagnosis.

Yes Kate you are right. I was very embarassed about my depression. I was so embarassed that I decided not to tell anyone or let them know. You can read about my downward spiral on Yahoo search under "The Last Temptation of George Petrie". I don't think you'll want to read it but if you do then perhaps you will understand that sometimes, due to organic brain chemistry we are unable to control our actions. It does not have anything to do with IQ or status in life. It can affect anyone and not just people with "bad character". I have done what I had to do to treat my depression and I am stronger and more successful than ever. I don't feel pathetic any more and I am not the least bit ashamed, any more than I would be if I had suffered from diabetes or heart disease. Mental illness is a disease just the same as physical illness. Someone with physical illness is not looked upon as being stupid or pathetic and, since mental illness, (including depression) is a result of brain chemistry it is as much out of the person's control as any other illness. I wish that sheer embarassment could have turned my life around. Instead it drove me into the conspiracy of silence. Depression can be a fatal illness if not treated expediently and properly. Please believe me when I say I understand your position. I do understand when people who have not experienced anxiety or depression simply do not understand it. I used to be just as judgemental as you until it came, uninvited, into my life. best wishes to you

I am getting really annoyed with the constant stuttering I have now. I started stuttering a lot this year, but not that much last year. What could be the problem?

In school this year, many of my classmates made fun of me every single day, so I didn't enjoy school that much anymore. I also wanted to move to a different school sometimes. I didn't have as many friends as I did before anymore. When I try to become friends with some people, they told me to "SHUT UP!" or "GO AWAY!"

The school year before that, things were much better because I had much more friends.

Also, there are times in class when I suddenly can't say a word at all, so they make fun of me. They all make fun of me when I stutter, so I just decided to keep my mouth shut as much as I can.

And I don't have the courage to actually speak a teacher about it because I'm afraid of losing my reputation. Also, I don't want to tell my parents about it.

What can I do about all this? By the

i own a small internet provider business. i have several customers that are way past due on their accounts, 90 days+ and $200+ past due.

i've mailed notices and left messages on their answering machines notifying them that there service will be terminated if payment is not received, immediately.

this morning, i terminated service to all of the customers that were still past due (most of them were).

now, i feel like crap (the bad guy) for doing it.

why?

i've been trying to figure it out all day and haven't come up with a reason why i'm the one that feels bad about it.

any ideas?

Sooooo many people are on anti-depressants. Seems like everyone knows someone with some type of problem. Don't misunderstand me, I have nothing but empathy for those in these situations. I have GAD and panic disorder so I know exactly how awful it is. Mine is under complete control now, thank God. But still, it seems so common now. So many kids are on meds too. Sign of the times, pharmaceutical company greed, or advancements in psychology? What do you think?

Hi. Long story short, after a year of trying, Lamictal is just not for me.
Starting at 100 mgs, I've tapered down 25 mgs every 5 days. After my third day now at 25, my vision is blurry and I just feel really "blah". Anyone else have this?
I don't feel it's severe enough to call my doc, just wondered about others' experiences.
Thank you :)

I'm very depressed and want to find a way to become more zen. My dad just got out of the hospital for having a heart attack at 52. The car broke down. My grandma almost had a heart attack yesterday. I feel as if my emotions are controlled by everything around of me. I have the hidden gift of empathy. When someone is upset about something then I become upset and can easily relate to how they are feeling.
I draw and write out my feelings in poems, but I feel as if my emotions are trapped inside of me. My insides feel as if they are going to collapse. I won't go on any anti'depressants unless I really have to. I have horrible thoughts of attempts of suicide, but know I would never go through with it. I think of things a normal person wouldn't even want to imagine. I have images of watching my family die, being murdered and there's nothing I can do to save them. It makes me feel so very alone. I need a way to get in touch with my inner self. I turned 16 July 3rd

Okay, so I think my best friend, for 8 years, has a very serious mental problem, maybe bi polar or scitzophrenic. She always gets mad at nothing, to me and doesnt talk to me, and says these rude appauling things. Here is my example
This passed weekend, I took her down the shore with my family, which i have been doing for years, we always had a good time.
This time, during the day we went to the beach, boardwalk and had so much fun, and planned out the next day. So that night, we decided to have a few wine coolers, and we never drank before. I had two, she had one. She thought I was "drunk" from two wine coolers. She told me off and said I WANT TO ******* GO HOME and I tried to apolgzie and talk to her till 5 am. Then the next morning, she layed in the bed until 2 pm, wouldnt eeven LOOK at me, and I have no idea what I did, then called her mom saying she wanted to go home, but I took her home, (2 hours away mind you) and she hasnt talked to me since, she thinks I "hurt her" what is this
