Mental Health - August 2007

I read that some people didn't know until they were grown...some even married...to get diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.
I took the test on WIRED and made a 34 on a the test that said 80% of autistics make a 32 on. The average score for non-autistic is 16...
Either I can mess up a test or I need some advice...
I really do get in trouble in conversations. Many people don't understand whatever I really mean. I have a weirdness about eyecontact. And I think I may be asexual...I have to have routine without varying or I forget to do something important. One day, I forgot to eat before I went to work and I'm insulin resistant, so eating is an important step. My family called and told the boss I forgot something and told them to send me home. I said I forgot my medicine...but I really forgot to eat.

What do you think about all this!?!

I have realized that nothing I say can make him stop. He has to want to change. I was wondering if anyone else out there is going through the same thing. and I was wondering how you cope with it. I'm 16 and have decided I will never drink because I see how it can ruin a family. I dont think any of my friends know and I want it that way but it would also be nice to be able to talk to someone about it. Is there like a free hotline or something?

i was diagnosed with depression a couple of months ago along with anxiety and self mutilation. I find that i am starting to get really really angry at everything all the time. My friends are driving me crazy but they are the only friends i have. i am moving interstate to get away from everything here and now my friend has decided she is coming with me. I dont want her to come because she is what i am trying to get away from. I am at the point where i dont answer the phon and either sleep or doze all day.

I think i have bulimic issues but not necessarily have bulimia. i try and make myself sick once a day at least but i have no privacy and am never alone enough to do it without people knowing. So that makes me angry that i want to do it and cant..

Not really sure what to do next... I am scared and angry and confused and want to cry because life isnt supposed to be like this..

Almost every night I sleep talk, it's really quiet so it doesn't bother my roommates that I share an apartment with. But every few nights they say that I scream in my sleep. No words just screaming. It started about a month ago. Nothing big happened so I have no idea why it's happening or how to make it stop. Thanks for any help.

My client insists she has all her mental capacities but tells me the most ridiculous things that her family is doing to her. She's 89 but she thinks her grandson comes into her adjoining home in the wee hours of the morning to eat her food and one morning at 5:30 brought two men in to see her (one of which, sold her her hearing aid). She is always telling me weird stuff her family did to her.

I am very confused about a situation that I found myself in and am very frightened of the results. I did not want any of this to happen but it did and now I feel like I am the one to have to try to make everything better or go away. I was working for a new company in a church one of the employes there decided that he wanted to have sex with me ( I had only started working there about 3 weeks prior to this happening.) I told him no many times made up many excuses but he was not taking no for an answer he kept saying to me you know that you want it it is good. I continued to say no, I did not know what to do I was scared he did now viloently force himself on me but he continued and continued while I was in a corner. I kept thinking if he does this then he will stop and I can leave but...he didn't. Was I raped or not? He is in jail and it is going to trial in a couple of months. This is making me crazy...I did not want this to happen but did not know what to do...I was so scared, frozen.

Busy revising, writing a dissertation, planning for a job interview and having driving lessons. I think all this has caused my brain to overload as for the last day nothing new has been able to get in. What is the answer, is there some way of removing all the unwanted files or maybe it needs defragging. any ideas?

I love my son in law, but he has never even had a pet die on him. On the other hand, I have worked in Hospic homes for many years, so my daughter and my other children know how to handle this better. I know that he is holding a lot inside, which we all know is not good. I have called him and told him to call anytime he needs to speak, but he has this pride of manhood going on. Do you have any ideas how to help my daughter and I to get him to accept and speak more about this. Many thanks to all who answer this.

Difficulty reading people's expressions or feelings, except when they're really obvious. I noticed as I get older it's easy for me to clue into body language and subtle facial expressions, but when I was younger I don't think I even noticed. I had a lot of social anxiety. Is there a name for that?

I met a guy who is diagnosed bipolar (on medicine) and we hit it off really great – spent a little time together which was amazing. Then he stopped talking to me ... almost overnight. We never got to establish a relationship... which is very sad since it was exciting to both of us. He had a few crazy things happen to him and now he’s checked himself into a hospital (to get balanced, I guess). He told me this over a few short, random emails.

I think he might have been a little manic when we met (not extremely... based on the research I’ve done... but a little). So, I’m having a hard time figuring out what was real and what was not real. I miss him so I’m still hoping he’ll come around after treatment... but I fear that I’ve lost him. He’s unreachable... the only way I have to reach him is by email – which feels like a lost cause. Any advice?

My almost 5 year old son cries at the drop of a hat, especially when he does not get his way. I'm concerned because he seems to get upset over stupid things. Example: I put too much or too little cereal into his bowl and he flips out - crying and yelling that I did the wrong thing. He is so smart and knows how to say "may I please have more/less". Sometimes he will give the polite answer and be so good it blows me away. Other times he just flips out. At day care he will often cry when he cannot do something instead of asking for help.

There have been no stressful family or other issues that I can think of. His dad and I are happily married. We never give in to crying - we are very consistent and this has been occurring on and off for over a year. I cannot pinpoint an exact trigger.

Is this normal? If not, what should I do?

I've had trouble holding normal everyday conversation with people. I even ran out of things to say to the counselor. It's been a year and a half now since my episode of pyschosis (occurred after my ex-husband left) and I haven't been to counseling in over 10 months. I'm on a couple different medications too, so I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it. I just feel that with everything that happened to me last year (divorce, numerous hospitalizations, etc.) that I can't find the words to talk about everyday occcurances. I feel like my short-term memory is really bad too. It takes a real effort for me to remember things I've read or movies I see. And even then, I don't remember details like I used to be able to before my life fell apart. I've come a long way, I'm no longer filled with anxiety and major depression and have learned how to spend time by myself. But I feel like my mind has slowed down a lot and when I'm with a group of people, I just listen and can't think

here is a blog
no more matt

i guess i just wanted to get somethings off my chest..

1. i have come to tearms with konwing that the "matt" that me and everyone eles knew died the same night as mike*rip

2. i do enjoy taking my pills. my somas and xanies. no i donot have a prob with them tho some might like to believe. i like konwing once i down'd one the pain of his lost is just a lil bit more bareable.. *spell check. lol

3. i have never really cared what ppl had to say about me... and that still goes. id rather let magets eat my face then hear what u have to say.

4. it has come to my attention that i have changed. not just overal sad and still dealing with not having my mikey around ne more*rip. but that i come off all together a lil numb. so if i dont hesitate to say things i would usually keep to myself i guess ur just going to have to deal with it..

besides all the above im doing just fine. the somas r doing there job.

my boyfriend and i broke up yesterday night. i seem to be doing fine but this is my concern, im bi polar and thus i am manic depressive so my mood will bring me really up, almost hyperactive up and then i will free fall into depression. it was just teenage love which i understand dosent last but sometimes i have underlying feelings that dont surface until later and im trying to protect myself.
