Mental Health - August 2007

my parents are always on my case because i always speak before thinking, can never sit still, and have trouble paying attention. they always yell at me when i forget something they said or accidently daydream when they're talking to me. i always try my best to obey their wishes and listen and sit still but its always really really hard for me. i was curious and looked up the symptoms of ADHD online and took a test to see if i likely have ADHD and although its not a diagnosis, it said i almost positively have ADHD. whenever i mention this to my parents and ask if maybe i can go to a doctor to see if there are any medecins or pills that could help me, they always tell me that im just making up excuses for my "behavior". i dont even remember what they mean by "behavior". they yelled at me once telling me what my "behavior" was but even then i could barely concentrate on what they were telling me. ive never done anything horrible.. just forget instructions sometimes

supposedly my step-mother says that i've been depressed since 11-12 years old, i'm now 25. i've tried to see 2 psychologists but they seemed to be judging me. i have 2 boys, a husband (who thinks i should go crawl in hole cause he's sick of the way i act) and we live with my father-in-law. i think about me and my family dying so i'm always sad and i hate it! i also have trouble sleeping, staying awake and more recently oversleeping. i have trouble concentrating, making decisions, remembering things and i'm slow to do things (my dad and step-mother always called me tortuga). over 4 months ago i got into a huge fight with my father and i haven't talked to him since, he doesn't try to see his grandsons, he used to hit me and my brothers and the longest i've gone without talking to him was 7 1/2 months, did i mention he kicked me out when i was 17? i do tend to dwell on the past...either way i'm making life hard for my family but i'm too scared to go see a doctor. any suggestions? thanks

I'm 17 and worry about my health alot, even though i eat well, exercice regularly, sleep more that 8 hours at night..

I find myslef constantly worrying about diseases and conditions that surround me. For example, for two days i've been having a little numbness in my left arm, so i immediatly assume it has something to do with the heart.. Who can help me overcome this problem? it's ruining my life.

Also, i don't like to talk about this to anyone, not even my mom to whom i am very close, because i an ashamed of this and don't want her to know.

I telephoned on the day when I was very sick and told them that I have a severe case of food poisoning. They were expecting me back to work on monday and I haven't phoned because I feel so guilty. I love my job very much and am very depressed over this. Could somebody please give me some advise as what I could say to save my job? I was thinking of telling them that I was in hospital with a gastoenterologist and have my sister phone them tomorrow?

lately, i don't give a crap about anything. i'm fat, ugly and lonely. i have no friends and hate life most days. i've been on drugs and saw a therapist. i joined and gym and haven't been in 2+ months. i went for about 3 months before i stopped. i hate my sister living with me and her smelly guinea pigs. i need a reason for living and right now, it's simply to pay the bills i have. that's the only reason i go to work. other than that i simply lounge around, watch tv, sleep and read. my life sucks. i don't want to take pills anymore. i want to know why i'm like this. what have i done i another life to make me this way - sad/depressed since i can remember (as far back as 3rd grade) whatever.. don't tell me to believe in god, cuz i don't. don't tell me to get out a do stuff, cuz i've tried that, didn't work. don't tell me to get therapy, tried, told me she couldn't help me anymore..... life sucks. time to get ready for work.

My sister in law we believe is mentally ill. We want to find her help but I'm not exactly sure what to call it...

For example, she we swear up and down that you talked to her that day, and you weren't even around. She'll say she had been talking to her dad, when he doesn't even have a phone. You can say, your lying... and its as if she really believes what she is saying. She can't tell reality from what's inside her head. What is this called?

In 1999 I wrote a letter to Brian May asking if he would consider making music with me, and the very next day it began...... Is there somewhere discussions on scitzophrenia happen? I've tried looking at forums, but they all seem months/years old.

I get really worried about some considerably stupid things. It gets to a point where it affects other ppl, and i hate it, Any tips to relax and loosen up? And begin to act even slightly normally. Any things that have worked for you in the past? Things that dont take months of planning or anything, little things that can help that are realistaclly achievable, thanks x

I find that most of the time they are pointless and counterproductive. I guess I need them sometimes. I just get tired of them.

On Boxing Day 2006, my parents found my younger brother's body after he overdosed. He'd been told the day before by his ex-girlfriend that he was no longer able to see his daughter. I've never seen him so upset in my life. On the day of his funeral, my father had a major stroke. Athough he survived, he is now like a toddler. Two days after that, I went into premature labour and gave birth to my first child. My family and I are still having ongoing trouble with my brother's ex. They are demanding his ashes, and are refusing to let us see my brother's daughter! I am finding now that I have days where I just want to cry all the time, or get really angry at the drop of a pin. Can anyone suggest ways I can deal with this?

This will sound really stupid senseless.I love my gf a lot but due to her family,she cannot marry me but the person her parents chosed for her.Please don't advise me that I am doing wrong or there are more girls.

I almost tried to kill myself 3 times but in the end the fear of God wakes me up.However,I have a great idea in mind of black mailing my gf emotionally so that she rejects the proposal her parents are bringing for her.

I just want to know a way to enter in a state of coma-and I mean JUST FOR A SHORT PERIOD of time!

I read that overdose of Panadol can make you enter in coma state but it's risky,might end up for years on bed or perhaps forever.Also I know that eating too much of salt will increase your blood pressure but still I can't just eat a fistful salt like that!

Please tell me a way which will make me go unconsious or rather something else which will make me get into a minor state of Coma but won't harm me much and most importantly for a short period of tim

Was fired last year after a decade of stellar reviews. Boss made up insane reason to let me go but he is a hostile mean SOB. I just don't want to start over at the bottom again. The job market in my field is ugly as I have had zero success. Plus, I am battling age discrimination since I am in my 40s. I feel like I am so nice that I get trampled on. All I ever wanted was for people to like and respect me. I am a decent guy with lots and lots of bad luck.

I have had to move home until I finish my degree in 6 months. My mother is 68 and her "partner" 45. He has controlled her since they got together 15 years ago. He also threatened me with violence from 16. He now has a problem where he only sleeps for 4 hours per night and alternated between not bathing for 4 months and being obsessed with housework and things being used ( he will look at the electric meter whilst boiling the kettle) and taping up the central heating so it cant be used to not moving off the settee for days and not doing anything but being agitated if anybody moves or answers the door. Its driving me crazy as my mum accepts it as she says she needs a man. WHAT CAN BE DONE HERE BESIDES MOVING STRAIGHT BACK OUT AGAIN???

Im currently suffering depression, and possibly bipolar disorder, but i havent gone to a doctor about it. You see, i am 14, and my parents wont listen. They know i have it, but wont take me to get help. My dad is also suffering depression, but also refuses to get help. My mom wont take either of us, because she beleives that only God can make it go away, and all the docter is gonna do is give you meds. So, i cant get help @ home...is there any other way i can get help???? Please? Everyone tells me i need to get help, but i dont know how to???????

Sometimes when I speak or have long conversations with someone. I tend to repeat my words. Is this normal? I do not stutter. I simply speak in sentences, then the word repeats without any sound coming out.
It's hard to explain. But it goes like this.
"where did you get that watermelon?"- then i would mouth the word watermelon.
I feel as if the words are coming out faster than my mouth can move. But at times I wouldn't even be excited, I would just be speaking.
Please help me find the name of this disorder if it exists and give me a link or a reference to look up myself.
thanks.
