Mental Health - August 2007

i tend to be a pessimistic person. i have a hard time trusting things, so i just believe the worst so i won't be let down. when people say something positive about me, i don't believe it, but the moment i hear something negative about me i can never forget it. i'm also a jealous girlfriend because of this. i'm insecure, i know. i really want to learn how to become more optimistic and just enjoy life! i wanna stop worrying about little things and picking out the negatives. when people talk to me, i analyze every word, to the point where what i hear isn't at all what they were saying. pleasepleaseplease give me some advice to become more positive, optmistic, carefree, and happy! i don't want to continue living this way.

Have had a difficult couple of years, losing partner, severe illness of both parents, had a miscarriage.

Got thru all these problems on like autopilot.

Now I am suffering from panic attacks, they are really dreadful. Am trying prozac, meditation etc., but I get really sore stiff muscles/joints during and for a while after the panic attacks.

Has anyone experienced t his and any ideas on how to treat such a problem.

Thank you so much.

So I take medicine for anxiety. I was only 18 when I had my first attack and man did it scare the hell out of me....you feel like you are dying and literally going insane. I just want to know I'm not alone out there or if anyone has had this and overcame it because I would rather not spend my life living the way I do. Constant fear of dying and the constant feeling of detachment from the world. ANy help?

you anything? i have had alot of trauma and victimization and abuse throughout my life. iam 30 now and have ptsd, bpd and rage and anger problems, iam now, waiting for therapy. but the biggest problem above the other problems i got, is anger. and misdirecting it. i know that it originates from my traumatic past and supressed anger and unresolved anger due to bullying......so i know of where it comes from.....i have improved greatly with it over years, but as an adult i still struggle with the feelings, rage feelings, that if your not carefull, control you..
things can easily trigger these feelings, if i feel certain people are getting at me personally, mind games, insinuating indirectly at you, condesending behaviour from certain people...a percieved hostile glance, my perception about the world caused from trauma...all these things can trigger misdirected anger & rage feelings..& basically i want to learn how to finally defeat this problem..
can anyone relate or advise?

I can never remember anything, I can never remember what I did yestarday, I don't remember what I did last week, or even last year. I remember certain events, things that have had an impact on my life, other than that..Nothing. I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night.
I'm 20 years old, I feel like i'm 60...I feel like i'm crazy.
I'm always losing things, sometimes even big things. I have to search my keys before I go anywhere, I had a certain spot, specifically for my keys, but I forgot where the spot was...

Why can't I remember anything?
Is there something wrong with me?

I like to worry about everything, I actually enjoy doing it. Is that considered weird? Not that I mind if it is weird. I mean can it have a detrimental factor to my mental psyche if I am constantly worrying about things?

the two most common (or most commonly talked about) mental health issues out there today are A.D.D. & depression. & even if the diseases aren't opposites, the medicine taken for them are (anti-depressants are downers & a.d.d. med's are uppers). so i wonder if that will ultimately lead to bi-polar to become far more common.

Ambien is known for its horrible side effects. It makes you sleepwalk without memory. My fiance is not a violent person and has never hurt me sober. Do I forgive him if he has promissed to get off the drug and seek help. Or due I move on.

I quit my job recently and no one seemed to care on my last day. I've been really depressed and worried about money and feeling lonely and like a burden on everyone I know. Yesterday I kind of snapped. I only have one friend (my other friends moved) and I felt so isolated. I spent all day yesterday in bed crying and then I tried to sleep because I felt really upset, but I couldn't. I started thinking of ways to kill myself and just imagining what it would be like to die. I don't want to actually kill myself, but I thought about it for hours and hours last night.

So I just came over to my friend's house today because I couldn't stand to be alone and I think I drove her crazy because I didn't want to be in separate rooms. I didn't want to tell her I what was going on because I feel embarrassed.So she just went out and I am feeling really depressed again. I am going to schedule counseling, but I don't know what to do until then? Not going to kill myself, but don't want time alone.

my step cousin has been calling me upset and in tears, sometimes i cant understand her words. but one thing she makes clear is that she says she want to die, just die. and that she's more likely to die from her own two hands than a car accident or something. I know she's been through some tough times in the past year, but i would have thought she would be over it by now. But seems as if her world is alway gray, she could be happy for a few, then she falls again*out of the blue*. I want to help her, but dont know were to began. I dont even really know whats wrong, because if you as her she would say.
''i cant explain, i just feel it''

This is a bit of an odd question, and one that I'm glad is on the anonymous Internet so that I can ask it.

Sometimes I get thoughts running through my head which are usually ones of embarrassing memories- or thoughts of embarrassment. And when it happens I can't bear it - it's almost painful in my head.

So when these thoughts happen I talk loudly to myself or make random noises, or make some sort of twitching gesture. I try not to do it in public, but sometimes I can't help myself.

I don't like new social situations very much, because I worry about the embarrassing scenarios which might occur. I get very nervous and tend to sweat a lot and have a racing heart-beat when in new places (i.e. new job, seeing people etc).

Does anyone know what this could be? It's really starting to worry me. Thanks.

I hate the world, its terrible, i was raped at a very young age by my brother, whom i still live with and who currently physically abuses me, and same with my other brother and my dad. they all hit me, im always mad and i get angry really quickly. im stuck in the house, i don't have a car even though im 17, and i can't have a boyfriend, cause i don't really like men or women, im somewhat asexual, but i just can't stand life. I hate it. I thought about suicide, but then id feel like a coward. Im completely miserable my grades suck, i don't want to be around my friends, but the strange thing is, i feel like my life has been miserable for a very long time, 14 was the time i started being miserable. I was unhappy before but not in a hopelessness sense. I can't go to a psychiatrist cause my parents wont let me. What do i do?
