Mental Health - August 2007

Im not crazy but there have been incidents where I've thought of killing myself. I'm super sensitive and get angry really easilly so whenever my dumb-*** little brother bugs me and bugs me until i cant take it anymore i wish he was dead, and think seriously about killing myself.
and whenever i go spend the night at one of my friend's houses my fam.goes out to eat to my favorite -or nicest- resturaunt!

can you help me cease my thoughts of suicide and my very short temper?

OK. I am doing volleyball. I don't know why I get so nervous before each practice, but then when I get into it, I LOVE IT!! What can I do to ease my nervousness and that will help me to think more positive about myself? Since I can't really get a overhand serve over, I think I am bad at volleyball and such. What tips do you have for me to get over my nervousness and think more positive? I know positive thinking will help you become better at everything you do if you "Think you can". So please give me some tips. NO RUDE ANSWERS!!!!

e.g. when someone is sad, you're sadder. when someone is depressed, you're more depressed. etc.

Hi there. I have recently come out to my parents about 7 months ago now. so yes I am gay. I had a relationship not long after this for about three months. After I split up with this person I developed a deep thought , this has been getting deeper since that point. I believe that EVERYTHING is fake or generated by a higher dimension. I HATE it. It eats me up everyday. I even question whether I was actually born , and my whole life is an experiment. What do i do!!? please help me. X

I could really use some help here. I have found out today that my father has been evicted from his apartment. He was served multiple eviction notices, and due to his mental state ignored them. The eviction notices were not because he did not pay his rent, but because he was supposedly intimidating staff of the apartment complex.

My father has had a long history of being manic depressive and/or bipolar. I need to find out if there are any government programs or charities that could assist my father in finding a new place to live (he lives on his social security check) and getting some help. Aside from that is there any way to have him involuntarily committed in the state of Georgia? He is not in a fit state to make rational decisions. Please only serious and objective answers. Thanks in advance, any info would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I live in the UK and the remainder of my family live on the west coast, and unfortunatly none of us can travel to GA to help my father at the moment

My parents recently unexpectedly split up and although my father and I are devastated my mother seems to show no remorse what so ever.
She only just admitted that she had been cheating on my father with another man.
this man has been convicted of attempted rape several times all girls under the age of 25.
My grandfather has also recently been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas which is also a big shock to us.
My mum threatens to move her new partner in which scares the crap out of me.
I have to look after my little brother who has special needs and gets distressed when she goes out form 6:30 till past midnight.
My mum has also started hitting me and insulting me which she never used to do on top of this I have to hear my dad moaning about how depressed he feels and how he feels like killing himself.
on top of this I have just changed school which has been stressful and sat important exams.
The doctor offered to put me on anti depressants but I refused things will only get worse.

Me and my boyfriend had sex, my first time, on my 18th birthday. At first I said i wanted to. Then as he was putting the condom on i suddenly changed my mind. I said "no i dont want to" a bunch of times and crossed my legs. Then he said "dont be so nervous. uncross your legs." I dont know why, but i uncrossed them and without a pause he started having sex with me.

I cried afterwards, and I'm still stressed out about it. He said i should just try to think positive about it, like how i admitted it did feel good. I know worse things could have happened, but I still feel hurt and betrayed. What's worse is that I dont want to break up with him, because i'm just obsessed with him. I feel like i should leave him but....it just seems unbearable to imagine my life without him. He's really strong, and i'm not.

should I leave him? was what he did as mean as i think it was? what can i do to get over my regrets?
I dont have anyone to talk to, any advice would help so much

Does Epilepsy And Schizophrenia Run Through Genes?

Ive recently found out that my mum's cousin [my 2nd cousin] died from a epileptic fit and that my other 2 2nd cousins [my dads cousins] both suffered from Schizophrenia but I have no idea how bad it is/was.

I was wondering if there was any chance that I could get it? And, are these conditions that you are born with or can they develop over time? As far as I know, nobody else in my family suffers from any other mental illnesses.

Thankyou.

An internet hate campaign in Yahoo Answers has poured hate after hate for months now, usually using "questions" almost exactly the same.

They have posted my estimated 2200 questions followed by
10 pathetic support answers each, 2200 times 10 = 22,000 .It is ironic justice that their mental illness may someday be analysed so students of psychology to learn about the nasty side of the human psyche.

Remember what they are doing, they are gloating with satisfaction at the hurt of a family who may have lost a child to a paedophile killer, interesting stuff for a psychologist

Perhaps it will have some future use in medical research

After watching my friend of 16 years die of cancer about 1 1/2 years ago at 38 years of age I find that life just doesn't make sense. I believe we all die when God intends us to die and there's no getting around that. All the talk people have of if only_______ had happened so and so wouldn't be dead to me is ridiculous.
However, since she died I have started to feel like we are just like a bunch of candles, The wind constantly blows and poof we're gone. Currently, I don't find the idea that we're going someplace else comforting. I hate watching CSI or any show that depicts and glorifies death. 80% of the shows we have on TV center around death and finding the "killer". I would like to be joyful again and enjoy life. I can't seem to find my way there. Sometimes I feel like I am just going through the motions.

I'm trying to get back in school, move out of my house, leave my boyfriend, and get away from this shitty drag of every day life that I'm dealing with right now. I've just got so much on my plate right now, and I was just wondering, for other people in my situation, what do you do to cope with everything that's going on? Like what relazes you, and what helps you keep focus

i feel really emotional at the moment. i have so much on my mind but i cant tell anyone...whenever i do I’m portrayed as the bossy, controlling freak. i just feel betrayed, angry, worthless and just a whole lot of mix feelings.

i just want to talk to someone and for them to listen without arguing.
im jst really upset at the moment, which i know is really pathetic but i don’t know what to do. its really hard to explain without having to tell all the details.

i just want to feel good . and to move out of this place called 'home'. and have my own place but its so difficult, especially with me still being in education. it just seems that young pregnant teenagers is more of a priority to home than someone who just wants to be independent.

i afraid that i'll be stuck here for another year...i don’t think i can take it anymore. but i have no other choice.
What do i do??

Probably isn’t the best idea to talk about this on yahoo but I just don’t know what else to do.

I have been prescribed Wellbutrin an antidepressant and I am anorexic. I have read that you shouldn't take this if you have an eating disorder as you are more at risk of seizures. But how does being anorexic increase your risk of seizures?

Ok, yesterday I found out that my boyfriend has been anorexic for two years, and has been admitted to hospital twice in the past for suicide attempts and serious malnutrition.

Yesterday we went to a party at a friends place, and he ended up wasted, and got violent with people trying to move him outside into the fresh air. (Almost kicking an 8 month pregnant woman in the process)
When he'd calmed down he ended up lying on the floor telling me that he hated himself and I shouldn't love him.

I'm at a complete wits end, because I love him so much and hate to see him hurting so much, at only 16 years of age, he's developed the problems that not even an adult should have to deal with.
But I now accept that he needs professional help, and that there's only so much I can do as a 14 year old girl.
Does anyone have any suggestions of people I could get in touch with to help him, or anyone I could contact for advice or support?

And his parents, quite frankly, are useless. Help?

Did you know that laughing boosts the immune system, lowers blood pressure and reduces stress hormones? Laughing can also burn up to 2.31 calories a minute! It therefore pays to laugh a litttle every day! Seemingly, the average child laughs 300 to 400 times a day, but the average adult only laughs about 15 times. If you're feeling a little down or miserable, dust off your sense of humour, take a deep breath and laugh! By embracing the spirit of laughter, it’s possible to achieve a more positive outlook. And if you hear a good joke share it with us today so we can all have a good laugh too.

If you think people with mental illness can control their thinking & behaviors, then why is it a mental ILLNESS?

It's a struggle when people say I can control my OCD, Depression, Anxiety, & Tourette's Syndrome as an excuse for not being able to function normally like other people.
