Mental Health - August 2007

My younger brother has been saying things lately that have been worrying me. He seems to strongly believe people are watching him all the time. He thinks there are hidden cameras all around the house and he is the star of some internet tv show that he doesn't know about.
He has also threatened me before. He says he thinks I secretly want to kill him and says I'm a (quote) "threat to his existence in this house".
Does this mean he is suffering from paranoia? What should I do about this issue? Is it something I should mention to my parents?

I struggle with "to do" lists. They never work for me. Also have trouble with procrastination. I'm wondering what other adult ADHDers have found to be helpful.

And thinking the victim is the one hallucinating and that the victim is the one who's mentally ill? And that the victim makes them abuse the victim?
Or do they know what they are doing, remember what they are doing, and not so angry all the time, but really enjoying lying, cheating, abusing, controlling, and causing other chaos and drama in people's lives?
Or is this something else going on in addition to bipolar? If so, what disorder causes this?
This is a question for you, especially if you have these actions or are a mental health professional who knows what makes people do this stuff.

I can relate to others who are in pain, because I have been there before.. but when I hear stories of people in need, or people who are homeless, or people who have been betrayed, etc.. I cry for them.. Why?

I keep feeling drained out..maybe burned out...it all started abt 3 years ago when somebody in my fam got sick and I've kind of lived in fear.

I had several vacations (active ones -I got home more physically tired:)

Now, although there are no major stressors, I keep stressing myself, I am down, tired, tired, tired and nobody seems to really notice. Anyway there's nothing anybody else can do. I feel like there's no end to it all, that all days are alike, the fall is looming over, my friends tire me out..

No there's nothing medically wrong.

I just feel I can get no real, long-lasting REST! What do I do (since I am also considering taking on a completely new challenge, work-related)?

My husband's friend who is married. Can't seem to talk to his wife about problems that his adult son of 32 has regarding his mental health. So he calls us at home late around 8pm and talks about his sons mental problems to my husband for about a hour and then leaves and goes home. Leaving my husband with a heavy load. Right before we go to sleep @ 9:30pm. I told my husband next time meet his friend at a restaurant not our living room, we dont need bad vibs, before we go to sleep.

From 2 months of age I knew something was different about my son. Various small things that added up to one big question. Hated being held(try breastfeeding a child with this issue!), never cried at home, just stared at everyone/thing around him, but as soon as we'd leave the house he'd cry continually and inconsolably. Very low muscle tone, and slept almost constantly. Doctor confirmed low muscle tone and sent us to ped for follow up. Ped confirmed hypotonia and started battery of tests for conditions where this presents as a symptom. He's 7 now and his "issues" (for lack of a better word) have gotten worse. He's obsessive about things, cries or angers at the drop of a hat for strange reasons (once had an extreme violent outburst at school because he was worried about the war in Iraq...once had a meltdown because it was raining and proceeded to run home with his jacket over his head crouched down crying the whole way..yet the very next rain did nothing to him etc etc).

He thinks he's a dragon, I mean, he ACTUALLY thinks hes a dragon. Its not just being stupid..he roars and believes he has dragon powers, and talks to pictures of this anime character hes in love with, he kisses it too. He carrys a bag full of pictures of it. Hes really depressed, and has no real friends, he just stalks his girlfriend.. and is fixated on who is gay in the school.

I was invovlded in anccident about two months ago. I have yet to return to work. My bills are pilling up. I have no money,I have no health insurance. So i have been paying all medical bills out of pocket. I went to the doctor about two weeks ago. I told him about the pain I was still having, my nightmare, and also my depression. He sent me to have a MRI. I have swelling on a couple of discs in my back. He felled to discuse the depression that i have continued to have. When I tried to bring it back up, he changed the subject. Tonight I was pulled over by the police two of my tail lights were out. I did not have my drivers license, or registration, because i just got the vehicle back from the body shop. I also did not have any insurance because i didn't have the money to pay it. So they thowed my car. I walked about ten miles, through a couple of known dangerous areas, and on the interstate to get back to house @1130pm. I am a female, the whole time I was walking I just wanted to die.

I was raped back in 2002. I was 18. This is really one of the first times I've admitted it. I tried to deny it, block it out but it's been really effecting me and my life in ways I never imagined. I don't know what to do.. and I really don't want to tell anyone face to face.. or in "real life". I don't know what to do... I'm almost 24.. I should be able to handle my life and emotions right?? Is there a way I can just forget about it or help myself??

I just want to forget. I just want to be ok. I don't know what to do. I've turned very, very self destructive... I don't want to say I'm in crisis.. but maybe I am...
