MY mom has come in from out of state (CA) and she is bi-polar, and her meds have run out. she is not able to fill her prescription here because it is the state insurance (through the gov't)

my dilemma: she's here for 3 more weeks, and i CAN NOT deal w/ her when she isn't on her medication.

q: does anyone know a way around the "system"?? so she can get her prescription filled here???

please help. i'm going nuts over here w/ her 'tude problem.

thanks in advance!!

Do you see one? How often? Did you find them helpful if you ever have or do? How long did the inital assessment take? Did they perscribe drugs that helped you?

any other information would be helpful as I am going to see one soon. I am not that worried just interested to know people's experiences etc

Thanks in advance

i have really thought about it, for a while, and no one understands me. i've been on all types of anti depressants (ssri's) and none work. and my moms always rude to me one way or another. i was at blockbuster and i rented "the i inside", and my mom said oh why are you so obsessed with ryan philippe, you got a movie that he was in a week ago too. i replied im not obssed, i just think hes a great actor.

my brother was a drug seller/addict the last 5 years,

and my friend killed herself last month.

i don't know what to do. im just so caught up.

maybe everyone is right im just a mistake. i just want to end my life. i am no longer happy.

I hate my life so much because I’m stupid I just had parents evening and looking at the grades I worked hard for all spell failure, I’ve been stupid since day one of school and I’ve tried so hard to change it but it’s not happening. I hate myself because I’m skinny people keep telling I’m skinny I keep denying it but now looking in the mirror all I see is skin and bone, I can’t put on weight because I have a high metabolism and its so depressing hearing it all the time people calling me skinny and its true. I hate myself because I cant do nothing with my life I know when I do my finish school I will have nothing to fall back on because I’m a failure, I've been playing basketball for 3 years now and I know its not taking me anywhere so when I finish school I will have nothing to fall back on.

Okay so I am always imagining things, or dreaming up things, I am tired of it because it tears me away from my real life, how do I stop and get back to my life?

well ever since i was 10 or 11, i was scared of supernatural things ( i am religious adn watching shows like Unsolved Mysteries would literally make me CRY with fear) and several times in my life i would have a bad dream about something possessed or a religious figure or something of the sort, and i would wake up kinda shaking and unable to move because i was paralyzed with fear. and the next few days i would just be afraid to go in the dark or to the bathroom. it goes away after a while, but there is still a small part of me afraid of seeing something supernatural in my attic or closet or something. i'm 15 btw. is this just a fear or possibly a mental disorder?? please help!!

Without going into all the details... Elderly male, late 60s, keeps a squirt bottle of green alcohol next to the toilet. Every time he pees, he squirts his wee-wee with the alcohol.

It's a little bizarre, but his family thinks as long as its not harmful, no one is going to try to stop him. BTW - It must be green alcohol. He gets upset if someone buys clear alcohol by mistake.

Couple of questions:
(1) When does it usually hit?
(2) Have you ever known someone with schizophrenia? What was that person like before and after its onset?

I'm seeing this girl....we hung out the other day. We have sex. It's not serious, just casual. However, I text messaged her twice yesterday just saying Hi and what not...and no responces. What's the deal? She can be really flaky but I'm not sure I can deal with flakes. She also said she's bi polar. ugh! What's up with that? That doesn't make you flakey if you are on medication for it does it?

it started about six years ago when i was in high school, i would pull out my eyebrows. i used to have nice thick eyebrows now they are patchy and thin and i can't stop.

i am now in college, and i have a great boyfriend and other friends. but i feel the need to hang out with sketchy guys i met at my job. one of them is a ex-heroin addict who has been in jail. he is at high risk for hep c and hiv. i had sex with him anyway.

i drink until i hysterically cry, fight, or become ill.

i can't stop myself from engaging in this self destructive behavior.

what should i do?

I've been on Paxil, Effexor, Lexapro, now I'm on Zoloft, Lamictal, Wellbutrin, and I take Trazodone for sleep. I know my depression isn't a chemical imbalance, as I know what I'm depressed about. I was spoiled and sheltered as a kid, and now at 34 I don't like being an adult, as unfortunately there is no one who can support/shelter me anymore. I think I am very underdeveloped emotionally. So I need antidepressants just to help me be able to deal with the inconveniences and unpleasantness of having to be an adult. For one thing, I spent my entire childhood and teen years watching tv and playing video games, and now unfortunately I am not able to continue that lifestyle as much as I'd like. I have no kids (thank god, that would take even more away from my "me-time"), and no one to support but me. So on the bright side I have less responsibility than most my age. But I've never had a gf, and it would be nice to have a good looking woman to be seen with, and make me feel good.

He has just been prescribed Zyprexa 5mg to help him sleep. He already takes 200mg Zoloft for his depression. He's been on the zoloft for about 2 years now and is still not sleeping very well. I'm trying to find out how long before he goes to bed he should take the Zyprexa for it to have the best effect. He's also going cold turkey off marijuanna at the moment (5 days so far) He's been using it way too much over the last few years to try to cope with life. I understand this works against his Zoloft and the doctor can't tell if his zoloft is working until he stays off the dope for a while.
I'm desperate to help him but don't know where to start.

I have been super depressed for a about a year now and i will be going to see my doctor next week about it.

I have very extreme moodswings, one minute i could be quite content then something trivial happens and suddenely i'm trying or wanting to commit suicide.

Also my feelings or liking to people around me and can changes instantly. For example one minute i'm loving my mum and would never want to hurt her but as soon as she says or does anything that upsets me(even if its trivial,) i'm hating her with a passion and wanting to smash her head against the wall.

I'm scared i could be bipolar, i don't wanna spend the rest of my life like this.

Could i be bipolar ?????????

My man is trying to quit smoking. He has gone about 24 days now and is holding steady with the use of commit lozenges. The problem is that he seems to have had a personality change. He goes from nice to nasty, is very snappy, can't relax even has decreased desire for sex. I've about had enough! Does anyone have any tips for me as to how to deal with him while he goes through this process? His quitting is affecting everyone around him. It's like he is doctor Jeckle and Mr hyde. I am trying to be as supportive and understanding as I can, but I'm getting annoyed with his negativity as well as his lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities. How long will all this last??? ps...I am a non smoker
