Mental Health - August 2007

My cousin claims that she cannot work b/c she suffers from too many mental disorders. She says that she would love a job and to have normal interactions with the "real world" and have a paycheck but believes this is impossible. She is almost 30, has never been able to keep a job, is on meds and in weekly threapy. What job should I encourage her to seek, as her therapist said starting her own cleaning business would be a nice choice but she was not to thrilled with that idea. I am happy that she finnally thinks she might be able to hold down something more long term but I have no clue what to suggest. Ideas?

games, some girls are, and its making me angry because i dont no how to react, except feel angry..

she is a white girl from britain, she doesnt like me..

iam french and native american.
i feel she knows because im not powerful at mind games with me, she can play them, and press all my buttons.

how do i react to that?
i feel inadequate that i dont no how to react without feeling angry.
she said earlier everyone doesnt like me, all over the world even, including all america to.
i just watch in muted silence as my anger fires up, teeth clenched, even growling to myself, not knowing how to respond.
feeling ridiculous as this girl tears away at my self esteem....words wont find me...iam in shocked, angry silence

The person is in her late 40's and when her husband left her 15 years ago may have caused a trauma that triggered her mental state. she neither admits that she is sick nor that she needs medical help. she severs ties with people who have intentions of helping her. she currently lives with her parents who dont know what else to do with her. help anybody!

and you cant bare to see others happy? i just saw the news where some big woman had won the lottery, she had a guge ridiculous grin, even more than the cheshire cat.....i sat here feeling angry and jealous...and resentfull.

im 30 have borderline personality disorder and have had an exceptionally hard life, im waiting for therapy now, i live alone and have never worked or made any friends in life....except lots on the internet....life can be a very lonely, unfullfilled, unhappy place, most times unfortunatley.
so to see that on the news, someone happy makes me feel annoyed.
can anyone relate to what i mean?

I've conceded to the fact that as a bipolar person I will be medicated indefinitely. However, it frustrates me to no end that I'm a handful of pills away from being back to that place mentally. It costs me almost $200 a month to be close to living like everyone else. I guess this was a partial rant, but I wanted to see if there was anyone else.

I suffer from panic disorder and since I don't really like medication, I try to alleviate the panic attacks in more natural ways. I use some techniques, but sometimes it just doesn't work(other times it does). Does anyone have any techniques that have helped them?

I dont know what Im meant to do now or how to feel - My husband and I separated about 2 weeks ago - he left me - I had an inkling he was seeing someone else (It turns out he was) anyway I got over the break up and was happy to see him happy and told him this - anyway I told him the other day that I am going to start looking for someone else and he was a little annoyed - tonight we were chatting on the phone in our usual happy friendly way as we had agreed we would just stay friends (we have a 4 year old daughter) anyway tonight after a long chat he asked me if I had met anyone - I said that I might have and that I didnt know yet (We are meeting tomorrow for the first time) and my ex got really angry with me putting me down in any way he possibly could - I asked him why he was talking to me like that and he just yelled some more then said he had to go - about half an hour later I got an SMS telling me he wanted to commit suicide - I tried reasoning with him that.. will add more on edit.

I have only have had about three and I rember that my brain felt it was rattling. I had thoughts that were racing and felt I was drunk or drownding and could not keep consciece even thought I did not sleep for days and adys. I would be on one side of the road and the next on the other and it would seem like I had blinked and I just appeared there. I would also sort od 'bounce'. Like roxk back and fore.

Every time these things have happened stress that I could not resolve was present. I am currently having terrible stress and I can feel my brain staring to rattle and and I feel like I'm going to be loosing contol and I'm worried as I have no one to support me or to be able to help me if the worst is going to happen and I turn 'funny' as i call it. Once during one of these 'funnny' things I nearly set the house of fire and two other times the suicide attempts I made were so bad I nearly died - one involved being in intensive care for eleven days. I don't know what to do!

He had the early signs of schizophrenia but it wasn't conclusive. He msoked a lot of weed and had psychotic episodes.

It's so surreal for me and my family and we all feel responsible because we weren't able to prevent him from abusing drugs and getting to the extreme state he obviously did.

I'd had problems getting along with him for years and felt very little love towards him. I've been told it's normal for family members of mentaly ill people to feel this way.

Now he's been dead I feel so much guilt and sadness, I know I shouldn't but I can't help it.

I want to find a way to let go of the guilt as I was only 23 when it happened but then I feel I'm just accepting that I was a callous selfish individual. I'm very confused!!

Okay here's the stats: I'm 41, divorced 16 years, 2 kids (ages 21 & 18), 18 year old son still lives at home.
My son works pt at Taco Bell, didn't graduate and is pretty much having fun this summer, negecting his pets and responsibilites around the house.
I work 45 hrs a week, take care of the house and pets, and cater to the men in my life. For the most part, I like to keep up the house and cook meals, some help would be nice without me making a fuss about it.
My boyfriend (of 2 years), he works a hot job (welder), he would rather sleep or watch TV then do housework. He has no children, he's had very spotty relationships up until he met me. Apparently, I am the longest relationship he's ever had.
He has anger issues that at first scared me, but since he knows he has this issue, and refuses to get help (I've even offered to go with) I'm not scared of it, I am angry that he will not get help.

Even if someone makes all the arrangements and pay for the holiday, still I dont wanna have a holiday this summer. What can be the reason for that? Is it normal not to want to go on a holiday? Do I have to force myself to have a holiday?

I am 16 years old and I do have mild depression. However, my depression intensifies when me and my boyfriend fight. When we do I get severely depressed and I do have suicidal thoughts, although I don't like that I do. I always consider suicide a relief, in case I do get overly upset then I can simply just do it and be done with it. I suppose I am very jealous of girls who talk to my boyfriend, and I recently got him to quit his pornography addiction, which made me feel very sick and sad. I don't know what to do. I have been on medication before but got off because I didn't like the effects it had on me. I am considering therapy, but am a little nervous about the thought of telling my most personal thoughts to a stranger. What should I do with my depression and the thoughts I get from it?
