Mental Health - August 2007

She is only 9 years old and I often find her worrying and crying over the slightest things. It is difficult to confront her about anything, because she breaks down. This isn't a spoil child reaction this is a reaction to being scolded and yelled at, to consequence. But last night it got worse when she couldn't sleep because she was worried if her baby sister got out of bed she would hurt herself, because she didn't clean the room. No amount of soothing helped, no amount of logic helped. I'm at my wits end.

I'm a 14 yr old girl. People would probably say im a shy person and i'd agree because i find it hard to socialise. Well i like to socialise but i'm not really good at it because i'm usually very quiet. I've tried to stop being shy but i just can't.? I guess i get scared? I don't know what's wrong i think i'm "overly" shy or something because i always try to avoid standing infront of people because i'm worried they're going to pick out something wrong with me and when people are staring at me or just looking i try to avoid eye contact. I'm really self conscious and can be really clingy and objective to "joining in".
What can i do?? Serious stuff, so serious responses only please. Thanks for your time. =)

Do you sleep it out? Do you feel the emotions and try to make sense of the probelm hoping to 'understand' what's going on ? Do you blame it on the stars? Do you go shopping, but what if you can't afford to do so at this particular time? Only those who had been through this every so often and got over it, please reply . . . !

Would the world we live in today get the diagnosis as mentally unhealthy or at least unstable?

Instead of diagnosing the individual, let's do something different for a change.

Diagnose the world at large.

Is it a model example?

Is it happy?

Is it sad?

Is it screwed up?

And if so, what would be the cure for the dysfunction?


I for one think it classifies as schizo and definitely would get put in the nuthouse, but that's just me. :-)


I think most of us are cool, OK people, who just happen to live in a crazy world, so we turn a bit nutty after a few dozen years, from dealing with it all.

The past year and a half have been incredibly hard for me.. I lost my mom to cancer, have had a huge responsibilty in doing everything in our home and helping raise my younger sister, had the pressures of senior year and applying for college, had to quit my part time job, our family went through a tough time financially, I lost some long time friends, had a rocky relationship with my boyfriend, and had some problems with my extended family.

That said, I'll admit this has changed me. I worry more, am very cautious and untrusting for fear I will be hurt or betrayed again, and have been a bit depressed at times. I just wasn't your typical easy going teen, but with medication I have gotten out of the despression and am really doing good, I feel that everything has made me stronger...but my problem is people have been calling me crazy. I am constantly watched and criticized. If I ever get upset about anything in public they gossip about it and say I need help. How can I get them to stop

I'll be 24 very soon, & I have a college degree. Some people tell me that I shouldn't be made to take medication, have a case manager, & see a psychiatrist if I'm of age & don't do self-harm or harm to others. When my family or my case manager or the doctor suspect I'm not taking my medicine, they make threats to have me mentally hospitalized. Is this legal?

I have been doing some research over the internet and it has been said that adults need about 7 - 8 hours of sleep each night, but it also depends on the person as well. Some people are short sleepers and some people are long sleepers like....some people only need 5 and half hours but another might need 9 and half hours.

I heard from a student at school that you can lose brain cells if you don't get at least 7 hours of sleep each night...anyone have another opinion?

I think this is not true, but I know if you don't get enough sleep you cannot react as fast or learn as well.

Why do you people think? and how much sleep do you think a person should get a night?

My boyfriend thinks that I have control over my compulsive overeating, but I am actually out of control with it...and I can't say no to food! I am going to a therapist about this, and I am going to my first Compulsive overeating group therapy session on friday! But how can I explain to him that eating disorders is an illness and not something that I have control over?

My insurance said that these forms of Wellbutrin are covered:

bupropion (Wellbutrin)
bupropion ext-release (Wellbutrin SR)
bupropion ext-release 300 mg (Wellbutrin XL)

Does that mean that the generic form of Wellbutrin SR is the same as the generic form of Wellbutrin XL, just that XL is bupropion extended release at 300 mg????

I had Bells Palsy 5 years ago and I think I'm addicted to the medicine they gave me to treat it.

Before I had the medicine I was always worrying about things I couldn't control and I 'd break out into uncontrollable sweats .
With the medicine I felt very numb but I didn't worry as much and I was actually doing better in school.

I told my mother about it and she just laughed and said " You were high".

Even though its been 5 years since I've took those pills I still feel like I'd be better with them. I actually miss taking them. Sometimes I wish I could get the pills back.

A few months ago I was using tylenol p.m to help me get to sleep. I didn't need the Tylenol I just needed a way to get to sleep.

I'm also a depressive and part of me is afraid that if I'm put on anti-depressants I'll become addicted to them. But the other part of me feels like I need to be on anti- depressants.
