Mental Health - August 2007

Ok...I am still very upset over a breakup, and its been over a year. He broke up with me to be with someone else. SOmeone who had his child before we met. She was a one night stand and he was ashamed, but I helped him thru so much. He was depressed and suicidal. He actually threatened suicide to me. Then when he finally came to terms with all that was bothering him, he acted like he never knew me. Til this day, I still get really upset, because he has moved on without a moment of remorse. I fell humiliated, used ,and the suicide aspect of it I think is what gets to me the most. I have told him off and then felt bad about it. I wish I never met him....I really do. I was happy and had self confidence and thought love was real before him. Now I feel he has effected me so much, I just cant seem to get passed any of it. I hate him for what he did to me and I wanted so badly to confront him in person, but he pretty much told me to never call him again. We were together for almost 2 yrs

I was once told by a worker that mental institutions will diagnose a patient for everything possible so they can get them on as many drugs as possible. My question is Why? I was told that this is a scam to milk the state for more money, for instance, if you say that a patient is taking 10 pills a day, worth $50 a pill. The state will provide $500/day for that patient prescription. When infact the pills actually cost $20/pill, so the institution can pocket a little money.

I want to hear your comments????????????

I think I was abused, I can’t remember it much at all. I have memories of an older woman holding me and smiling down at me in a wrong way, other than that its all just fuzzy bits and pieces. For the most part I had a good childhood, but those memories haunt me. I am sixteen, and I cut myself on a regular basis, before that I had cried myself to sleep every night. I have professional help, but I’m so incredibly scared and embarrassed. All my therapist has said so far is that im clinically depressed, I know I should tell her, but its harder than it sounds. I’ve told my friends about the cutting, but not the abuse, and now they are starting to believe that im just doing this for attention and they don’t like to be around me since I am mostly in a depressed mood. I don’t know what to do anymore, I just want to get on with my life before I screw it up for good.

My grandfather died 10 yrs ago. He lived in Puerto Rico and we went back there last week, and havent been there since he died. I was young when he died and felt like I had pretty much healed from the incident until I went back. We visited his grave and it looked abandoned and old, seeing his name there was very strange/bad feeling b/c I guess in a way I still hadnt accepted that he was dead. We decided to refurbish his grave, and in order to do so, the casket must be removed from the tomb (the tomb is above ground, Spanish style where the casket is not buried in the ground). We came to check on the progress, and it looks very nice, but seeing the tomb empty seems to hinder my healing because the casket was missing, making it seem like its just a bad dream and not a reality. Also, it got me wondering about the condition of the body after 10 yrs, things I had previously never even thought of. What are reasons for this and how can I heal from it?

I am 22 years old. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD by a state university recommended psychiatrist. The diagnosis was not a surprise to me, but I have a unique case. I have a top 1-2% IQ in everything except working memory which was tested at below 50%. My overall IQ is still very high. Working memory is the gatekeeper of knowledge without its cooperation i can learn very little.

Compared to masses I am not disabled because my IQ is too high but as a rare case it is obvious my condition disables me from reaching my potential. Mostly relationships and academia have taken the blows.

I am going to get special time extensions on exams, but for every other day of the year I want something to help. Medication is the obvious choice for me because I don't have time for frequent counseling (the psych's preference). I have 3 jobs and 1 internship, so no time.

Can I take my diagnosis papers to an MD and get a prescription for Adderall XR or Vyvan or Strattera to help me focus when i need?

I have already posted this question in another format, but didn't really get the response I wanted. I think I just need to reword the question. My husband has borderline personality disorder and reactive attachment disorder. He doesn't understand cause and effect, nor has any empathy for the pain or suffering he causes others. He is impulsive, what he thinks he has to do....So, I pose the question again, with these traits, how dangerous is he to my family. Will he wake up one night mad at me for some invented reason, and just decide to do the world a favor by killing us all while we sleep? Could he take a baseball bat and do it, or shoot us and kill us as we sleep? I wish I didn't have to ask this, but he scares me sometimes, and he scares others with his psychotic thinking and behaviors and that he doesn't even acknowledge them.

Do you feel that you are smarter, can sense things, dream of future events or see future events that come true or can sense on the spot in real time someones thoughts, ideas, worries, concerns and you can act upon them and change events and no one knows? if so do you keep it a secret in fear of rejection and people considering you insane or wanting attention? would like to get to know others with my ability.

Some nights I'll wake right up with a horrible fear that I'm going to die. I don't have any physical pain. I just think I'm going crazy. I try to do things to take my mind off of it, watch TV, etc. After about 10 minutes it subsides. It does happen at times when I'm awake. Driving in the car when I'm sitting in traffic for one. . It's not necessarily paralyzing but that feeling is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

My college teacher said that I am at my mental peak aged around 21. After that its down-hill all the way because the human brain cells start to die. Im as sharp as a knife right now but just wondered what might happen after i go past my interllectual peak.

Is this why old people can't remember stuff? As an older person how has your memory loss affected your life?

In late June, my mother passed away. Ever since then, I've been having very horrible nightmares about my mother dying and me not being able to save her, and her being revived...only to die shortly thereafter. Then a month after my mother died, one of my uncles died.. and I had a dream in which they both appeared and told me it doesn't hurt to die and that they were ok. After that dream, the nightmares stopped for about 1 week or 2. Now my nightmares are back, but they are different. they are more violent and have nothing to do with my mother. Should I see a psychiatrist about this?

I hate being around people. I am quite content being alone. Some people have been telling me that it is unnatural to be this way. I have always believed it to be a matter of personal preference. Is it true what people have been saying that I do in fact have a disorder/problem because I don't like to be around other people? Social Anxiety Disorder seems to come up frequently.

I am writing a horror novel. Two little boys witness the brutal murder of one of their parents. However, while they cannot talk about it, one of the boys draws a picture depicting how the murder took place. Is there a medical term that describes such a condition that affects a person mentally like this and if so what are the details of it. I will need the help of psychiatrist on this one.
