Mental Health - August 2007

I'm at work--technically by myself. There's another coworker here but she works in a cube in another room. I'm on the frontline and I just feel really anxious today. I feel trapped like I can't get up when I need too. When there are other coworkers here, I feel that I can get up and walk around when I want. The coworker that is here right now comes and goes when she wants to--to the bathroom, to get water, whatever. There's a lot of crap going on at work and I just feel anxious. As soon as some of my other coworkers get here, I'll feel better but that isn't for another 3 hours.

Person tells me im paranoid after they mentally and emotionally abuse me. Whats the purpose of somebody telling you you're paranoid when its really happening? They act like they've done nothing wrong and make me look crazy when im fully aware of what just happened and so are they. They even went as far as to deny things completely that we both know happened. Can you tell me what someone gains from this tactic and why they would use it?

We are on a single wage as he is studying & seeing a professional is way out of our means right now. This is also compounding his anxiety. He has a focus on cancer, especially skin cancer as he is very fair. He is a chronic 'self-diagnoser'. I recognise his terror, stress, confusion and embarrasment and I need help to assist him to manage and cope until we can afford a psychologist. It is heart wrenching to see this intelligent, strong masterful man being reduced to a crying mess in my arms.
Please help!

I am 28 years old and I have some kind of problem with showers and baths and cleaning myself. I NEVER take baths because I fear the dirty water swirling around me. But recently I haven't been able to take showers. I'm afraid of all kinds of germs like mold or mildew and even soap scum. I'm now getting hard scratchy widespread rashes all over my body. I can't remember the last time I showered. It was maybe 6 months ago. I just feel like showering and cleaning myself is either just too big and daunting a task, or is scary. I smell bad so I just put on a lot of deodorant and body sparay. I also feel that washing my clothes is a huge task that seems to big for me. If my mother doesnt wash it for me, they just stay dirty. I often smell like a homeless person.
I don't know what to do. I have no job and I just lay in bed and cry. I'm being treated for depression and anxiety and I'm on a lot of meds, but yet I still have this problem.

so usually im fine on water..i love it! but last year, my parents old neighbors let their 3 year old son drive their boat and he decided to keep going in circles and wouldnt stop! we were seriously on our sides and thought it was gonna tip! my parents just recently bought a new boat and it was fun and fine until they are going fast and take turns fast and one side of the boat is touching the water, it freaks me out! im always afraid the boat is gonna tip over and everyone says it wont. i have to sit on the floor of the boat with my head down just to relax and that doesnt really settle it. the other part is i love to go tubing, ive never had a problem with it...but today for some reason i was so scared to be on it and i dont know why, and once i started going up in the air from hittin the waves i lost it and started freaking out and crying. i have no idea why. does anyone relate to this or is it just me? is there any advice you could give me?

I just want to go to a doctor to get medication for my anxiety/ low self-esteem/ lack of motivation / depression. Will the medication be enough, or will I need to talk to someone about it to completely resolve it in the long run?? How long can I take medication? I can take it for the rest of my life without repercussions?
I don't want to share my inner thoughts and personal experiences with a complete stranger. I don't want to share it with my family, or my friends, so please don't suggest these.
I want to keep my thoughts and experiences to myself. I don't want anyone I know ever knowing about this.
Also, do psychiatrist / psychologists write down what you say or record you?? What do they do with the file when you stop seeing them?
I REALLY don't want to share my thoughts/experiences with anyone! It will not make me feel better, it will make me distance myself from the person forever!

I just feel like crying. I don't know why but I feel so sad and angry and depressed and anxious, worried, etc right now for no real reason. I'm not usually like this and this came on suddenly. I feel so sad. My heart is racing, my eyes are welling up and I just want to break down and cry. Why am I feeling like this?

I'm 16 and I've been feeling "moody" for about two years. I used to think nothing was wrong with me until I had to do a report on bi-polar disorder. It seemed strange to me at first that I had the same symptoms of bi-polar disorder and then I started watching my friends and none of them were as "moody" as I was. I started doing more research about it and I have almost every symptom.

I tried talking to my mom, but she brushed it off and said that I was just a teenager and that it's normal to be depressed and confused. I tried to tell her that I'm different that none of my friends act or feel the way I do. I tried telling her that I wanted to see a doctor about it, to get a doctor's opinion and she said no that I was just blowing it out of proportion. I don't think so, I know my body. I don't feel right and I don't know how to explain it too her.

I can't believe I'm admitting to this. (Only on yahoo answers, of course.) I've always been a pretty unhappy person, even as a kid. I try to be happy but it's like I'm pretending, because I don't really feel happy.

I feel like I'm drowning most of the time, like I'm only hanging on for my family. I don't have any dreams or anything. I can't seem to see my future at all other than more unhappiness. I dread getting out of bed every day. Sometimes it's so bad that I have anxiety and can't sleep because I know that I'll open my eyes and it'll be morning again.

I think about it and I'm like if I had real guts I could go ahead and end it, but I can't seem to summon the courage to do it. And I feel guilty for even thinking this way, but it just doesn't change the way I've always felt.

It only happens when I pray to God, worship him as strong as I can, and alot in church. I do have a sick mind, 1000's of voices, and halucinate all the time. But when I worship Jesus I get trown arownd. Like one heck of a body twich. My head goes crazy, like it could break my neck in a "no" angry way. But I do not get hurt. and my body can get flung around on my bed. It feels like a fist, punchs in my chest, and I get one heck of a body twich. Has anyone heard of this mental illness before? if I do not pray to God, or worship him, or go to church. I get no problems. I still am sick with the voices, and stuff. but no twiching...........

I feel really unhappy. I cry over everything. I have started to not eat as much so I can lose some weight so I can fade away. I have taken my anger out on my friends and the real reason is that I feel unattractive. My face has spots on it and my friends all have clear skin. I'm 15. I feel really ugly and disgusting. I can't talk to anybody because they never listen. My mum would get angry because I have had "anorexic" problems before. My mum just orders me around and tells me to do stuff and shouts at me if i make one little mistake, which only adds to my misery. No one is interested. I cry myself to sleep. It just feels like no one would care if I was dead. I just want someone to help me. I can't use the phone to call Careline.
Please help me somebody.

I would like to hear peoples experience with risperdal and how it changed their personality. My mind feels much duller while im on 2mg of the stuff. Makes me very passive and agreeable. I dislike the stuff and want to see if anybody has had similar negative experiences with risperdal or any antipsychotic
