Mental Health - August 2007

ok, most of my friends in school think I'm Emo. I listen to Music showed in this link:
http://www.pplaylist.com/user/10410098
plus, they think I'm too quiet and I usually have an impassive and stoic face, which I think isn't true, but heck, how do I know If i can't even see myself. I also dress a lot in black and they say that I use the word pointless too much. and they also say that I always look sad. but does all this mean I'm Emo or something? please help!!!

Is this normal? I'm 13, nd I've been scared of bugs for as long as I can remember, but daddylonglegs' scare the hell out of me. If I see one, I run out of the room and get my brother, who usually kills them for me, but if he doesnt, I'm scared to go into that room for hours, and if I have to, I usually run out the second I see it, in tears or close to it. Is itnormal to be this scared of something?

which medications for depression do not cause weight gain? can any of these meds be used double-duty for attention deficit too, so a patient would not need 2 medicines?

This is a high stress time. I've been diagnosed as depressed. Insomnia is really bad, to the point I dread going to bed. As soon as my head hits the pillow, my mind goes into high gear. Although I have a hard time losing weight normally, I've been dropping weight like you wouldn't believe. Has anyone taken medications for problems like this, & was it effective? I finally got an appointment with the doctor this Friday. I'd appreciate recommendations from anyone. Thank you!

My daughter's found child porn on her computer and accused her husband. He said it was a virus that sent them. Since then he's been very emotionally abusive to her. He also admitted that he was sexually abused as a child and has also been pointing out that he was neglected.

I have been sick for a long time, since i was fourteen, just after i started my period. I am eighteen and mostly recovered now, but for the first time in my ENTIRE life i am getting a for real period that isn't just spotting. For two years i didn't bleed. And now i am totally freaking out, not just about what a period implies, but also because this just makes me feel so horrible and gross and out of control and i totally can't handle this happening every twenty-eight days or what ever. It is scaring the piss out of me. I can't stand it. I feel so large and womanly. ugh.

What can someone do to deal with a 62 year old family member whom is obviously suffering from an mental illness, but refuses to get help, or acknowledge it? He self medicates with alcohol and prescription drugs. He alienates/can't get along with others, his only friend is the TV, has drastic mood swings and disorganized/illogical thinking. Is there a professional out there that can give me some tips?

I've had it for several years, since a child but it got progressively worse over the years though I did get help from cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt) and taking the ssri (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) prozac. Was wondering if anyone else can relate and btw, Tyra Banks has on guests with ocd on her program today.

I've always been a worrier for as long as I can remember. I analyze and worry about the small stuff. I know that a little worrying is helpful but sometimes mine is out of control. I worry about my behavior, worry about the future instead of just relaxing and taking it all in stride. Maybe I should just ask myself when I start to:"Is this worth worrying about? Do I have any control over this?" If the answers to these questions are no then stop worrying. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I drive my boyfriend crazy with my worrying and it pushes him away.

I know it's not 'happy one minute and sad the next' sort of thing and I know that mood swings are normal, but I have dramatic mood swings that last. It's not a usual thing. It happens maybe a few times a year at the very most and some years not at all! When I either get very depressed, I often have mild depressions so not the same thing, or I get in my 'crazed mood' it does disrupt my life socially and professionally and I believe my bad reaction to Prozac was actually a sort of mania. But while I may have had sexual and social indescretions, I've never gone on spending sprees or done anything most people wouldn't consider just "hyped up" for too long. Mostly, I get accused of drug use when I'm not.

So, when I go to see my doctor about going on Paxil for my panic attacks, yes, I have those too and my anxiety controls my life more than my roller coaster of moods, should I mention my mood swings? A doctor once suggested I was bipolar, but who knows! It's a popular diagnosis isn't it?

A friend of mine work with someone who is bi-polar. The guy is a little higher up but acts jealous of my friend. The creepy part, I've caught him staring at my friend and staring at me different times. I just smile wave and get a way as fast as possible. His body lang. is totally off.
Do you think this guy will snap? Oh, the reason why I know he is bi-polar is wife told me.

My son has always displayed "ADHD" signs. In 1st grade the school tested him for ADD and wouldn’t talk to me about intervention until a psychiatrist evaluated him. I had a full psychological evaluation done and took it to a psychiatrist who put him on ADD meds. The only problem is that the professional evaluation showed high depression and mild ADD not typical of normal signs. His grades did go from failing to B’s after getting on meds. He's now about to enter the 4th grade. But his behavior has never been fixed. He seems to not understand social cues and doesn't make many friends. Although he has some. In March he had a seizure and I've taken him off of meds. Meanwhile, he has had a tic disorder which was made worse by the meds. Two people suggested that he had Aspergers so I took him to an expert in that field who said no to Aspergers. But he said Tourettes and OCD. I’m having a hard time connecting my son’s behaviors to OCD. He doesn’t check things or perform rituals.

For the first time. But I wasn't thinking about my emotional pain (it's there, though) but I was staring at the side of my wrist and was overwhelmed with the urge to see blood there. I used a dull swiss army knife. But I didn't cut to feel something- I cut because I wanted to see the blood. What is wrong with me?

I used to take Prozac for depression and Seroquel for sleep problems. But I always took them at different times until I stopped, and now I am concerned for my health. Are there any side effects to take these two medicine together?
