Mental Health - August 2007

I'm getting really nervous all the time. I get panic attacks and when that happens I shake uncontrolably. I stopped taking Zoloft because I don't want to be dependent on anything. I drink coffee, will that increase my panic attacks? What should I do? I don't want to take Zoloft anymore and I need to find a way to calm myself down.

I don't know if I have a problem with depression or not. If I do, please don't criticize or make fun of me. Instead, do you have any ideas to cheer me up without medication or a therapist? These are some examples of how I feel:
-often tired
-critical of myself
-thoughts of suicide and death
-cut myself
-drug user
-not interested in things I use to love
-have trouble falling alseep

I had never been in trouble before until a few months ago when I got into a fight with some guy. I missed my court date because I didn't have a ride and the place was an hour away so they came to get with a warrant. Ever since that day I've had this frustration, anger, and nervousness that overwhelms me sometimes. I've always had depression but since that happened I noticed it's worse. Also my anger towards cops, judges, prosecutors, and people who I think are racist has skyrocketed to the point where I fear that I'm gonna snap someday and go crazy and end up in trouble again.. I don't know maybe I have schizophrenia or something because ever since that day I think white people are against me and want to deport me back to the Dominican Republic. I'm 30 years old and I came here when I was 3 years old. I'm here legally and I have a green card. I wonder if I'm a paranoid schizo and I'm being irrational.

I was just wondering why people think its ok for abortion to be legal because a woman "has rights over her body", but its illegal for someone to commit suicide?

I for one believe abortion is in fact killing another being, and is wrong without medical reasoning, such as it being caused by rape, or at risk for being disabled.

So I am confused as to why suicide is illegal, when abortion is not.

is this not weak to do so? what else is there left to do besides forgiving them? obviously you cant seek revenge, because then you ruin your life. so having have all that damage been done, what should your reaction be?

how do you dispell the immense rage that people have caused you to feel?

Since I was small I could only dream of the profession I am in. I'm getting worried because things are going too well. My life isn't supposed to be this way.
I'm afraid the next tragedy in my life is just around the corner and I'm living in a comfort zone and I just don't realize it. I'm scared to death of losing my mother, or something happening to one of my siblings. I already lost an uncle 3 years ago to a tragic accident. I was totally in a comfort zone then too.
I'm starting to grasp for things that cause alot of stress or friction in my life because I'm scared to death of being in that comfort zone again. I stay busy constantly to the point where I never get enough sleep. I'm trying to stay grounded and keep enough problems in my life so I don't suddenly get jarred again with the tragic news. I'd be willing to give it all up just so I can lead a normal life. What is wrong with me, I mean why can't I just be happy with everything I have going?

I'm not talking about people making some random statement to themselves about how they 'must be crazy to think that...." or some other innocent joke they may tell themselves.
I'm talking about 'everyday' people quietly wondering to themselves if they have a problem. Surely mental illness has to be more prevelant than what is currently 'seen'. How can someone fess up if they might only have a mild or controllable illness? Do you wonder or are convinced that there's something wrong with you but don't seek advice or help becasue you have figured out a way to live with it?

You scored a 95 out of a 100.
It is highly likely that you are presently suffering from adult attention deficit disorder, according to your responses on this self-report questionnaire. You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, it would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional immediately.

When I was a kid there were 2 disorders 1) little brats who got spanked a lot and 2) arrogant know-it-alls who everyone wanted to spank!

But now, over a period of 40 years we have ADHD, ACD, CDM, Bipolar, Autistic, etc etc etc. Where did all these disorders come from??? and why aren't we by law allowed to do anything about them without being interferred with by social workers, the courts and paying huge bucks to the psychs?

my 12 year old daughter is in all AT classes at her junior high and was in the Talented And Gifted program from 4th to 6th grade. She isn't slipping academically but she has started getting into vampires and she will listen to alternative music on the computer all day and will only really talk to me when she wants my opinion on a song. She has been sleeping alot during the day and stays up until about 1 am. She spends lots of time on her website (acryingcloud.piczo.com) and has said that her head hurts. her birthday is on the 5th of August and she isnt really excited at all for it, she says she doesn't want a party. her idol is Pete Wentz(from Fall Out Boy) and she is always talking about him, she actually went online and watched an interview about when he attempted suicide by overdosing on Ativan. Ever since she has been talking about suicide and death. i don't want to take her to a doctor until i get some thoughts on whether or not she may be depressed or suicidal. please help me!

So for the last 9 months I have been suffering from anxiety attacks and depression. With my doctor we have been working with different medications (third one now) and am currently on Zoloft 50mg now for about 3 to 4 months. After feeling better while on it and thinking to myself that things are getting better last night I went out with my good friends to the movies and to the bar. For the 4 hours we were out together I could not relax or calm myself down to enjoy myself because was worried about seeing certin people. I mean i saw people i knew but it wasnt a big deal but others i was sooo worried about seeing and they are/were my friends (highschool) been out for about 6 months now. It wasnt that i was embarrassed to be seen with the people i was with or what we were doing. But i dont know why it would trigger panic/ anxiety attacks? Any advice? Also does this mean that the medication isnt working ? I have to do a literacy test and going to a concert next week and these events i love

I know they are 'negative' ways of describing ones self but that's what i am, so why shouldn't i call myself those names even in fun having an occasional laugh about myself! If you can't take the proverbials outta yourself then.....well that's even more depressing!! (Isn't it?) My mates call me the 'mad valley queen' cause i take vallium (diazepam) and live in a valley, i don't get offended they're only having a laugh. I must admit i didn't like the way my ex called me a freak because it was said with so much venom but otherwise.....why not?

I don't know if this more common than people think it is, but I've been wondering if anyone else has the same experiences. A few times over the past few years, I've heard voices in my head. Once, as I was getting ready to leave, a voice in my head once warned me not to go to a place because it was closed down anyway. I ignored this and and went anyway. It was closed, which was weird since it was usually open on those days & hours. And another time I was about to go to sleep, I lied down, and I heard a group of people (a man & two women i think) arguing over something. They were talking so fast that the conversation was over in less than a few seconds but they must have said about 30 sentences in that span of time. Nobody else was home when I heard these things. It's hard to describe but it's like the voices come from inside my head. It's not something I hear with my ears. Am I going crazy or have any of you experienced this? Maybe its more common than I think it is?
