Mental Health - July 2007

I am a mom and a wife and I have a severe anxiety disorder. I am off my meds as I am not insured and have turned to pot. I don't smoke all the time and I smoke when my son and husband are asleep and I certainly don't normally flaunt my use.

But it helps me calm down, sleep, and such.

Do you feel I should be sent to jail?
Does this make me a bad mom or wife?

BTW - if you want to tell me to pray - save it. It's not going to happen. Thoughtful answers please. Thanks :)

This wasn't supposed to happen. This July 4th was supposed to be my deadline for how long I would let myself grieve my mother's death. I have been a wreck ever since then and have only seemed to worsen over time. Despite seeing several counselors and being on anti-depressants off and on over the years I am beginning to think I will never be okay again. I cry every single day. I try so hard not to, but I can't stop myself. I'm starting to forget her. It started with her voice and now I can no longer see a clear image of her face in my head. I literally have NO ONE. If I did, maybe I wouldn't be in this much pain still. I don't know what to do. It feels like the best years of my life have slipped away and I have spent them being miserable. In the meantime I derive zero pleasure from living. I hate everyone I know. There is so much anger inside of me I feel like I am going to explode. I am afraid of everyone and everything to the point that I barely leave the house. The only reason I am posting such a personal question is because I desperately need help. Does anyone have any light to shed on this situation? How does one learn to be happy? I have tried not defining myself as depressed because I think labels only prolong the pain. Other than that, I don't know what to do to make things better.

I know I have it. I have a health/medical background. I want to talk with someone who knows more, but my insurance has terrible mental health coverage. Our budget is small. Anyone know of any good books on this? Authors? Types of exercise? I want to try to avoid meds; herbs are fine.

I saw a therapist-psychologist, for several years, from my university. Sometimes I got advice through email. On several occasions he made sexual remarks, and romantic suggestions re. me and him? I already reported him to liscensing but there was not enough proof. What should I do now? I am so upset, and at a loss. I know I must appeal. I still have nightmares of him advancing at me sexually, it is disgusting.

note: I called the director of the clinic he works at to make a complaint at school, she referred to me to a special unit that handles serious complaints as this.

frequant? they leave you feeling lonely, isolated and empty inside.
im 30 and i live alone in an apartment, because of my disorder and very low self esteem, ive never made any friends or been in a relashionship in my life. the only person ive had in my life is my mum, who ive been very close to throughout my life, and i ring her everyday, shes been through everything with me, and has been there when im lonely and need reassurance, plus she visits me to help me out with things when im in a rut..
but only recentley, even though shes in her late 50s, shes met a guy she used to know from years ago that she used to be with, and their feelings have been rekinddled and she says their back seeing each other again and are serious.....ive not been able to contact my mum for days because shes been at his...and since ive learned about these recent developments with this new guy today on the phone from my mum, im getting these strong feelings of abandonment & isolation & emptiness again.

If there is 'cognitive' mental retardation why not identify spiritual, moral and emotional retardation?
