Mental Health - September 2007

I previously posted a question called 'Am i mentally unstable?' I only just posted it so it will still be up. Anyways, in that question it outlines what i'm suffering. Well on top of all of those simptoms that i wrote about in the other thread, i am also finding myself having severe mood swings.One minute i can be so angry and ready to kill someone and the next i'll be really happy and hyper. I also go inot o deep trances. I can just sit and stare into space for hours without doing anything else. I usually think of this parelell universe that i've made up in my mind. I've created this person in my mind and i think about her every moment of every day. It doesn't bother me so much because i thought her up years ago and she's kinda always been there. And the otherday i cut my leg really badly with a razor. I've selfharmed before but i didn't do it because i was sad, i did it because i wanted to see blood. I am really confused with whats wrong with me. Just tell me what you think.

My daughter is 13, has a horrible attitude. It's gone beyond normal teen rebellion. Her teachers are commenting on her behaviour and I can't even leave her at my mom's house for an hour without her causing problems over there. (She has to stay there between the time school is out and when I get home) She constantly tells me to shut up and that she hates me. I'm considering taking her for therapy, dont know what to do. Any suggestions?

I have a therapist and all and I sit there but I cant open up. She knows I have the problems with trust but its like Im right at that line where I can walk away or just jump over it and open up. When I get pushed to open up I get angry and I push people away or cut them out of my life. I want to do that with this therapist but she is the only one who knows certain things and I know for a fact i wouldnt open up with anyone else in the real world. What can I do? This trust thing is so severe and it makes me look like an idiot when I am in safe situations. My therapist has no reason to hurt me but I just dont want anyone to screw with me. What is it going to take for me to finally let someone in and see my world?

Guys, what would you do in this situation?

this girl you've been chasing for months (about four) finally gave in (sexually) but you didn't have a chance to really explore her the way you wanted. When you ask her to do it again, she said no and that was the end of it. No matter how hard you try to persuade her (manipulate). You were not able to get much more than words that showed that she cared about you but she wouldnt give in sexually because she stated that she felt that after that experience she felt that it would be best if she stayed in a non-sexual relationship. What would you do in this situation?
she was a virgin

I have had depression in the past, diagnosed. A few months ago, I stopped taking my medication because I started feeling better. Now, for the second time in my life, I am feeling the pain again. Nothing really bad has happened recently to make these feelings return, but I still suffer from sadness. It has only been the last two weeks. I would rather not take my medication again, because it is highly addictive (one of the high dose high dependency drugs) and when I went off of it last time, I struggled with headaches and dizziness and irritability. It was worse than quitting smoking! Any ideas on how I can manage this depression, or if it isnt depression, any ideas of what it could be? And why all of a sudden is it bad again? Please help, only serious answers, I dont need any crap right now....Thanks so much.

I told her to join AA and she wants to but is super aprehensive, saying she wont fit in because she doesnt drink ALL the time and all... Will she fit in or is it only for more severe alcoholics?

I constantly battle with my own conscience. Sometimes I'll feel really down and then I'll seem to have a conversation with myself in my head. All I hear are negative things like 'you're no good' and 'the world is better off without you.' A few times I literally punched myself on both sides of my head. Yeah, that didn't work, but I will say for myself I can punch pretty hard. I'm not on any type of meds and I don't drink or do drugs. I'm pretty stubborn and won't go see a doctor because I'm afraid I will get put on meds and I don't want that.

that disparages you as a person? causing people to ostracize you and outcast you?

i feel this way because i have borderline personality disorder, have had an exceptionally traumatic life, ive never made any friends in life, i have a minor criminal record to going back to my late adolecence. ive made mistakes that i regret, and now i feel outcasted by the world and society....like ive been rubbished and no one wants to know me anymore.

im worried my medical notes and the mistakes have made have brandished me forever affecting other areas of my life, like employment opurtunities, if i wanted to emigrate from britain, which i deffinatly do....i feel im ruined, and hopes and dreams of building a new life, emigrating to another country have been ruined forever.
i feel people are judging me, percieving me as a loner outcast, someone to stay away from and avoid. i live alone, have no friends, have alot of rage and anger from the past, & now everybody percieves me as a freak.

since 8 years and a half now, I'm always at home, NOT socializing with anyone except for family.

I don't work, just stay at home. Whenever I go outside, there are a lot of people, I get serious anxiety.

I feel like if I played outside with kids when I was little and socialize with people outside instead of staying at home by myself all day, I wouldn't have social anxiety

since now, I do have social anxiety, plz tell me how to overcome it?

I'm from a small town, and just moved to the city to live with my bro for school.
At first I did ok, but as a few weeks went by I found myself staying inside more, now I don't like leaving at all. I have a great job, but I don't want to go there either. I don't talk to anyone at school. I'm not much of a people person, and so now people avoid me because they think I'm weird.
I feel so lost, and not like the old me at all. I feel empty.
I want to go back to my small town where I am happy, but my parents spent weeks arranging for me to come here and I agreed to go. I would have to take distance ed back home but I think it's worth it
My friends might be moving here the next semester, but I don't think I can take this place that long, and now if I go back home they'll be coming here.
To top it off my parents know I'm on anti-depressents and say that I'm not in my right mind to decide anything. I know people think it's best for me, and I've tried getting active etc. but I'm not happy here.

I have a very, very, VERY bad temper. Yesterday, my so-called friend said something that pissed me off so much, I had tears in my eyes, trying to stop myself from beating the tar out of him. I need a way to calm down fast. Not meditating or anything, cause I need a way to do it right then.

I feel sad most of the time, but it isn't for no reason. I looked up symptoms for having it on the Internet and I had nine out of eleven symptoms. Also, my grandmother has depression.
