Mental Health - August 2007

My brother and sister in law had their first child prematurely at 24 weeks. They named her Anabelle Grace, and she was absolutely gorgeous. However, she only weighed 11oz, and passed away after 3 rough days (last Friday). Of course im sad about it, because it was my neice, but thats not what im asking about. Im wondering how i face my bro and sil. I dont want to smother them, but dont want them to feel isolated either. I feel so akward around them because i dont know if i should talk about her, or try to keep their minds off of her. What do i do?

but sometimes when you see other people hanging out with their friends you envy them and wish you have good relationships like that.

I (28 female) have anxiety problems and am on xanax & depression & am on imiprine. I feel mad one minute & then angry the next at myself for being mad. Then hit myself with things & want to pull my hair out & do at some times. I hate myself. I try to do everything to please everyone. I went to therapy but i feel like the doc looked down on me just like I feel like everyone else does. I have two beautiful children(1&4 )& very supportive husband & I just do not feel like i am worthy of them or anything. I just want to die but i can not stand the though of my family being mad at me. I have failed everyone & wish i could stop this feeling but it just won't. My left arm & chest hurts all the time like a heart attack. I used to have low blood pressure so do not think I am having bp problems. My granny was sychitso. I want to stop this feeling. I am a very smart well education person & want to work & exhibit myself in a very good manner & show no signs of failure.

If someone is told they have signs of psychosis, a mood effective disorder and obsessive compulsions then gets placed on antipsychotics, the person still goes out and drinks on a night out whilst on the drug, the person, (bearing in mind had read that it is a bad idea to stop taking medication) one day stops taking the antipsychotic and becomes quickly manic again and feels better for doing things like taking a lot of caffeine pills to get a buzz for example and just feels happier, then almost 'comes round to their senses' because notices severe mood changes again and decides to take the antipsychotics after all, the person doesnt feel very stable and wants to 'change' things a lot so does things like stops medication to change themselves etc. Is this the sort of time a Psychiatrist would think about sending the patient to a hospital for care or does that not happen anymore, if the person feels they need more support.Any info wud b helful...also do you HAVE to go to a hospital if told?

Has anyone noticed that over the past 100 years or so that mental disorders are on the rise drastically? Anxiety, Depression, Paranoia, schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, ect..... Why do you suppose?
Is it society, culture, ect...... What is your opinion?

My wife's aunt has a routine that she goes through when she leaves her house by locking and unlocking all the outside doors, yanking on them, locking and yanking on them again and again, and then relocking them. This goes on for ten minutes. They say it's quite a performance.

Her sister will run an empty washing machine with hot water and soap, through a full cycle so it will be clean enough to put her dirty clothes in. If she gives you a cup of coffee she will take a clean cup from the cupboard and then pour boiling water over it before drying it and giving you the cup.

My boyfriend's grandpa died of Alzheimer's (his mom's dad) a few years ago. I get mad at him sometimes because when we have a "conversation," it's usually one-sided. It's not just with me, though...it's with everyone I know. He said he just has a hard time putting his thoughts into words quickly. He can never find the right words to say. I looked up to see if anyone else was like this, and I found that this is actually a sign of Alzheimer's. I know that it's very unlikely that he has it now...but maybe it's a sign that he will have it in the future. I know that AD can be hereditary...what are his chances of getting it if it was not his parent that had it, but his grandparent. As of right now, I'm not aware of anyone else who has had it in his family, but it is possible. Anyway, I'm just curious...I know it's early to worry, but if it's possible to do something about it now, I'd like to. I love him so much and want to do anything I can to keep him healthy. Thanks!

I moved into my dad's home last summer as he is in the last stages of emphesema. The kicker is he is a drug addict and very difficult to live with. What is the best way to tell him his behavior, the emotional abuse, guilt trips, and violent mood swings, are making me want to leave him to die alone. It is getting to the point where I am ready to let him die by himself. I hate that he has got me to this point but I am now getting sick due to his sickness.

I just moved into this apartment complex. One of my neighbors is a nutcase. She doesn't work and does nothing all day but snoop into people's business. She keeps leaving notes on my door and following me.

What should I do? How do you deal with a person like this?

It just so happened that the only reason I was snoring in my sleep was because I was congested with a bad cold, well ever since he said that I had heard myself snoring a couple of early mornings in a row, and now I think that bothered me so much that now I am aware of how I feel when I sleep, so now it's like I am so self-conscious of how I am when I am sleeping, that I am thinking about sleeping too much now, and never feel like I am sleeping anymore, and I never feel the switch anymore of the feeling of being awake to falling asleep anymore. Anyways, it's like he just shouldn't have told me, it's not like I have sleep apnea or anything, it's just that he has caused me to worry unnecessarily about sleeping, and now I have anxiety about it now.

I'm worried that my conscience may be a little over developed in the personality department. It speaks to me like a conversation. It's male, soft spoken. Does anyone else have this? I'm not on drugs, I have severe depression. What should I do?

this sounds crazy, I understand this, but lets think about it for a minute.

Lets say you are really really poor, and you can put food on the table and you can stress any more about it do you decide to take you own life, why wouldn't you at least PLAN OUT a bank robbery or some kind of crime or something to at least TRY to improve your situation and then if you are about to get caught THEN kill yourself.

or if your gf/bf breaks up with you and you cant go on any longer at least TRY to ask out everyone that is more attractive and cooler then them and then if you get turned down by them all THEN kill yourself...why just kill yourself outright?

My little sister is very depressed. She constantly gets teased a lot for her height because she's 17 years old and only 4'9. She's a bit chubby for her height also. She's heard all the names and the things mean people say about her. They call her dwarf, oompa loompa, little girl, stubby, midget, you name it she's heard it before. She's also not doing well in school, there are chances she might get pulled back as a Junior because she missed so many days. Therapy didn't help, suicide hotline didn't help. Her arms are full of cutts. She's tried to overdose on drugs, she tried to drown herself, suffocate herself, and even hang herself. Luckily, people caught her as she was doing it, otherwise she wouldn't be here today. I don't know what to do. I'm dying inside to watch her be like this. Could anybody please advise me?

My uncle, whose a doctor, suggestes that I take meds to control the months when I get bad PMS.
I tend to get a little too neurotic
Being image concious, my fear is
will anti-anxiety medication increase your weight?
and I don't want to relay on them my entire life
Also, The fact that I'm quite young (22)and dealing with these symptoms (irritability, a bit of depreesion, nervousness.... )bothers me.
Should I "chemically alter" my brain?
