Mental Health - September 2007

How much money should i spend for some sessions with a top class therapist ? i have "a lot" of stuff on my chest that i need to talk to someone about . but they are too complicated even for me , anymore. i have been using a lot of help books , watchin , listening , etc to help myself. but i think i will need a good therapist to get better eventually.

I'm a 32 year old female, recently diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. I met this amazing guy that we both fell madly in love with one-another. The feeling was mutual, but something happened when I went to meet his parents, can't explain it, but I guess I was having one of my moods associated with manic depression. I was depressed the entire time I was there. and when he asked what was wrong, I couldn't explain. He now won't support me at all, and I think is completely hurt by what happened at his parents house. Also, I've been calling him alot, and he usually hangs up on me. I don't know what to do. I feel like I have lost him forever and I love him sooooo much.

any advice would be appreciated!!!

k so i'm just a regular 13 year old girl, except i take pre ap classes so i always have lots of homework, and i'm constantly having friendship and boy problems thrown at me. and i easily get a bad temper. i think that meditating for a little each night or something would help organize my thoughts and stuff. but exactly what do i do? i heard somewhere that you're supposed to make sure its quiet, then sit criss cross with your hands on your knees, and close your eyes and like focus on something. but idk. someone explain pleasee.

Can it cause a serious head aches, your body feels, or a runny nose? What can happen if you don't get it cured?

Sometimes I feel a crazy adrenaline rush. Like all of a sudden I will be super awake and eyes wide open for a few minutes. I almost feel like im going crazy. Is this a panic attack?

I am a 34, I have no life and I am so lonely. I broke up w this guy a yr and a half ago...and have been in this funk for so long. It's not about him, but I don't go anywhere anymore, meet people or go out with friends. I don't even listen to the radio/cds anymore. I just don't know how to be the way I was.
I've been on meds for anxiety/OCD for a while and go to talk to some one, but any advice from someone who's "been there" would be so helpful. Thank :)
I also have a 16 yr, and she's tries to get me up and out to no avail.

Why do all of the disgruntled, disheveled professors smoke cigarettes when we get out of class. Mostly the philosophy professors. Kind of random question.. but I notice it every day.

I'm really worried my boyfriend is depressed but he won't admit it, he drinks alot of alcohol and he's been the Doctor's about his drinking and the Doctor asked him was he suicidal and he said no and he even said no to me but then twice he's said that he wishes that he could go to sleep and not wake up and that he hates everything and it upsets me that he could be so unhappy and I don't know how to help him, he always says he's bored of life aswell, he drinks and smokes so much and he's also quite cocky and over confident and I think it's a way to cover up him being sad? He's not had a very good relationship with his mother growing up, sorry for the bad way I've written this but I've just tried to get everything down. I just want him to be happy but I don't know what to say to him when he says he wants to go to sleep and not wake up, I just want to help him, I told him to try going the Doctor's but he just shook his head, what should I do? Does it sound like depression?

plus your computer was your prized posession, you didnt own alot of posessions, you were on welfare for the time being, couldnt afford much. plus you had a psychological disorder that you'd had for a while (BPD) which meant you didnt have many friends..
so your computer was your main posession and your main life line to others and the world..
so if it broke and you lost alot of important information to, how would you handle this?
how would you survive?
have you ever been in tough circumstances like this?

I'm intensely jealous that a girl from my past has loads of new friends but never contacts me. I obsessively look at her facebook profile to see how many new friends she has listed, and I look at messages she has sent and recieved, and she seems to be friendlier and is having much more fun with these people, than she ever did with me. I think that's why I am a loner; I think that people don't find me interesting enough. Anyone else feel jeaulosy that they are not the centre of attention?

I really need to change in my life. I seam to have a bif anger issue for no reason at all or for very small things. I always have a chip on my shoulder. I take it out on every one close to me and a result of this has been that a lot of people now what nothing to do with me. I really want to have a relationship with these people like I had before but it seams that it will never happen. now then if I were to guess it all started when my family broke up which at first was just depression but later turned into this anger that now I can't seam to turn off. I really want some advice as to how to correct this I know there are options of counseling and anger management etc... , but is there anything that I can do for myself. Its not just a matter of wanting to do it b/c that just doesnt work even though I do want it. Is there any good books or web sites or tapes that could be advised. I want a fresh start so bad this crap is ruining my life. Please show me the way to a new begining.

I work security in Las Vegas. Now for the last two days since I been on duty, there has been this homeless person walking past my site early in the morning. He often shouts (and acts very hostile and angry, but has not hurt any one, yet) "I love Jesus!" and "I hate ***gers and generally arguing with himself out loud.
This morning he went off verbally on me and walked off.
This guy to me is unpredictable. Should I count him harmless? Or should I arm myself with something in case he does goes off on some one? What should I do?

All of a sudden I am experiencing a very serious depression. I have had problems with anxiety and panic attacks but now I have this terrible feeling that nothing is good, nothing is ok, everything is horrible, there is nowhere I can go, nothing I can do - to make it better. There isn't really anything going on in my life that should cause this. I missed 2 days of work and when my boss came in my office and asked me what was going on I just bawled and bawled. How embarrassing! This has GOT to stop, and fast. How do I get out of this? My husband is trying to be supportive but he doesn't understand that there is nothing he can do for me. What am I missing?? If there is nothing I can think of that would make me happy, no movie I can watch, song I can listen to, nothing - how do I make it through? Some facts: I am 32, happily married, no children, on birth control and I have been taking Doxepin for a few months for chronic neck/shoulder pain and in a low to moderate stress job.

I work late until night & I'm unable to stay active and fresh in the morning work hours. I heard people who have the smae problem manage thru using meth. What are the advantages of meth - I know the dangers of meth abuse well.

If it is good, then I may consider trying meth. Else, what drug could help me cope up with my problems?

I was exposed to physical fighting, broken bones, I was physically pushed around sometimes, many visits from the cops, neighbors coming over to "check in" and countless sleepless nights due to my parents drunken screaming. To this day, I still feel as if I have to be "the parent" when my dad calls and claims he "just wants to end it all" (he's said this all my life w/ no follow through)

Anyways, now that I have moved out and am on my own (I'm 22) I hold a fairly stable life. I dont drink too often, have "normal" friends, and I am physically active, etc. I'm beginning to think that, with an upbringing like mine though its any minute before I crack. My boyfriend is on anti-depressants and his f-cking family is f-cking perfect. Christian, warm, welcoming, pretty strict, but so what? IT ENRAGES ME THAT HE CLAIMS "DEPRESSION" when he HAS NO IDEA what its like to be forced to be the adult since you're like8 yrs old and SAD YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
