I said no point as my last psychiatrrist said he would sign me out if ever I was sectioned. He refuses to accept I'm ill. Two other psychiartists have prefeviously diagnosed bipolar II and I became suicidal every few weeks like clockwork. The psychiatrist has made it so I'm actually embarrest to even say I'm ill or ask for help to be kept safe. Yesterday I went to multi story car park. Got on the top to jump and looked down and realsied it was not high enough. Went in search of higher building but I could not gain access as they were offices and such. Today I feel desperate and scared.

The GP accepted I was telling the truth and seemed doumbfounded. I told him to call the Trust and ask if they would have me signed out if he signed me in! I feel like I'm none human. Any one had similar experiences of mental health services?

Hi all, I've just started on the SSRI anti-depressant 'Citalopram'. I took my first table last night and to be honest was a bit surprised that it hit me so quick. Today I feel a tad weird, spacey, a bit nauseaous and 'headachey' aswell, and my vision is a little disturbed, but only slightly.
I was wondering what to expect with this? Will these effects taper off in the next few days? Will these side effects increase as the medication kicks in for the next few days?
I would appreciate any responses, especially from those who've had experience of taking this A/D.
Thanks in advance!

I know a lady who has this disorder ans she doesn't remember what she has done when she is one of her alternate personalities. She has even found hate mail from herself and her handwriting is different. One personality likes me and another hates me. She has something like 32 different personalities. Many don't know about the other some don't like each other. That is what got me to wondering if she could compete with herself?

How do you overcome depression when you're a teen without going to an adult for help?
I know it's best to go to an adult for these kinds of things but that would ruin my friend's life even more. She doesn't see an end to it and feels that the only reason she's still alive is because it'd hurt others too much. She doesn't want to do anything fun, she feels like just sitting in her room by herself. It's hard to explain but the way I can is that she can FEEL the sadness sinking in her, taking over her life. What can we do? How can I help her get through this so I can see her happy again?
I'm thinking of research, what exactly should I look for?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and answers.

Then she was telling me about how typically they cant take my insurance be she decided to take me on as a client anyway. Thats when I said thats what I dont get. Then she said in the most roundabout way that it must have been fate. This kinda all confuses me. Does anyone know what this all means and why she would bring that up?

I am having trouble sleeping alone, after spending about 2-4 nights a week at my boyfriend's place. Nights where I am alone, I cannot fall asleep and usually only get a couple of hours when I do. I feel uncomfortable, I don't feel at home and I miss him terribly, even if I had just seen him this morning. The sound of him breathing next to me at night is comforting and soothing, and his arms make me feel protected, but is there anyway that I can get sleep on my own? Moving in with him is not an option at this point as we are both not ready for that. Does anyone have any other ideas??

Me and my Sister and IMing and talking about our family and the lack of love and all the anger and hatred and it's really getting to me because I've always felt unloved and attacked by the majority of my family. Now I feel like cutting because I'm sitting here sobbing and I don't like crying, I don't like showing emotion like that, but I don't really want to cut either. Whats another way I can deal with this? I've been a SI for 5 years now, and I figure it's about time I tried learning other ways of dealing.

Frustrated all the time about feeling worthless- Not because I'm furstrated at being worthless, but I'm frustrated in particular because I know I shouldn't be thinking like that and I am. Random bouts of depression that can last for days with me being in bed, lacking motivation to do anything, including non-eating. Then suddenly I feel great and escatic for no particular reason... Then it happens again. I get random bouts of anger over little things whilst I'm on my own and out of bed, I feel like breaking something. I'm starting to get a little carried away with my ocd, if I leave fingerprints on a smooth surface it gets to a point where I get horribly annoyed.

I'm 18. I never used to be this mood swingy.

Does anyone know what could've caused this? :s I don't seem to have any reason to be like this.. Which often seems to frustrate me more.

i have been getting sleep paralysis for about 10 years now and nothing i do seems to help get rid of it, its so terrifying that i find myself trying to stay awake all night just to avoid it. does anyone know any tips or sololutions to avoid it?

2007-08-07 14:50:55 · 7 answers · asked by alien 2

If there are no physical reasons for you to stay awake night after night, and you can only sleep when you are exhausted, and then only fitfully! What is going on in your head, that causes the insomnia!
There are no worries, except everyday usuals, and you just can not sleep!
I get up and read, I watch tv, I get on the computer, and I play a video game! While I do these things, I get sleepy! But, I go to bed? I just lay there!

I am a 14 year old kid, my life is very depressing. To personal to release here on Yahoo Answers, and to long. And I have had serious thoughts of suicide, and I really want help.

I'm in therapy and the therapist I have is not help whatsoever.. Whenever I bring something up he either doesn't want to talk about it and tries to move on, laughs at it, or just totally ignores it. But my parents won;t let me get another therapist.

So I know that their are depression pills out there. But like they say in the commercial these pills for teens and kids may increase thoughts of suicide. Is their some special kind of depression pills for 14 years olds. I really need help.
