Mental Health - September 2007

I have suffered with severe depression, mania, ocd, and bipolar for a long time and have been on all kinds of meds. Nothing has helped. The Doctor is thinking about putting me on Seroquel. How good is that medicine for anyone who is/has taken it? Thank you!!

some people say suicide is an unforgive sin, and you will go to hell.
but smoking can cause lung cancer then you die -thats self caused people dont say you go to hell for it

mental illness leads to suicide death-most cases no one did anything to cause themselves the mental illness

both are a diseases which can be fatal
but the one that says you dont automatically go to hell a person causes themselves
but the one where they had no choice of the illness they automatically go to hell

that does not make sense to me

I belive suicide is really uncontollable, the metal illness takes control of the person, the person lost all contol of themselves

does anyone agree with me

I have recently talked to a psychologist and I was told I may have OCD. I have had images of hurting loved ones, sexual images with the opposite sex and children, and guilt, along with fears of being alone and not truly loving the person that I am with. Is this common for OCD victims?

What should i do? I love cutting. Ive been cutting sence i was 13, three and a half years. I dont' want to stop. its how i cope. I dont cut deep enough to be dangerous. HE's just paranoid... I dont' want my mom to know, because she will send me away to bording school or something. and I cant live with out him. Not even for a little while. He promises he wont leave me, no matter what, but she will send me away if she finds out. she doesnt' understand me. She thinks im this huge disappointment because Im no pretty and popular. She thinks i should be this picture of the perfect teen girl, skirt and pink blouse and blond hair. She thinks im trouble just because i listen to loud musid and wear black clothes. SHe has given up on me. this would just be a good excuse to get rid of me by shoving me in a girls home somewhere

What is up with this? I know teens have pain in their lives -- we did too but I didn't know ANYONE (and I knew a lot of people) in school but NO ONE was into cutting themselves.....how and why did this start??? Teenagers have had pain in their lives (regardless of their home life) since the day the world began....it just doesn't make sense. I understand they say it "releases pain" -- how does it release pain? Is it an attention getter or what??? I raised to boys and they went through a LOT too and they never resorted to cutting themselves -- ever. I don't understand. Can anyone help me understand? If you cut yourself, please explain why and what is so horrible in your life that you would do this???

Her attorney said she shouldn't. However I'm thinking she could get something paying under the table,part time.She's on medication and is doing fairly well mentallty. I think a part time job would not only,of course help financially, but mentally.Something not too demanding such as caring for pets or cleaning houses.Have any of you been in a simular situation?

internet, like on this site and on myspace or elsewhere, added them to your messenger, to find that all of a sudden, one day they just stop speaking to you or contacting you?
plus you see them never online anymore either.

you get that empty, lonely feeling inside, how do you deal with it if your in these circumstances and this happens to you?

im 30 and have bpd.

this question is not meant for well adjusted, happy folk who have happy lives.
only answer if youve been there or are still going through it.
thanks

I'm on Lexapro. Great for depression, but it has hurt my motivation at work and sex drive. I've heard that adding Wellbutrin and/or Provigil can help. Has anyone tried either of these along with an antidepressant? How did they work?

For example,

Bob sees signs that he is schizophrenic and he looks into it and decides to go see a doctor and is diagnosed. Can that happen?

(i don't know if this makes sense or not so i'm going to try and clear it up)

Can Bob consiously know that he is schizophrenic without anybody telling him?

I have a friend who has been depressed for a while, i know that she cut herself and cried herself to sleep every night because she had told me this. I had comforted her and got her out of cutting herself about 2 months ago, but she has told me that she has started again recently(i have seen scars accidently) I dont know what to do about it, i feel uncomfortable everytime she brings it up. I have used the same technique as i did last itme but it doesn't seem to work. She has recently asked what i think the best way to commit suicide is. I am really worried and need any advice from people who have been through hers or my situation. Maybe she wants me to intervene in some way, because she told me about it? Is it a crave for attention?

Please help asap.

I am scared...and I mean really honestly scared of automatic (self flush) toilets. I have no logical reason to be, I just am. When I was younger I wouldn't use any toilets, other than the ones in my house. We'd have to stop and let me go on the side of the street if we were traveling, or else bring along a bucket. As I've gotten older, I've gotten better about them, and will now use manual flush toilets. I just hate the ones that jerk the handle down and/or flush loudly when you press it, so I always use my foot and jump/scream if I come across one of these. Auto toilets still drive me bonkers. I get very nervous when I know I'll have to use one, and my heart speeds up. I sometimes make my mom stand in the stall and flush the toilet over and over again so I can see how sensitive it is, if it's likely to flush while I'm on it, and how long it takes it to flush once I move (the delay between when you get off it and when it flushes). Sometimes I can force myself to use ones I "know well"

I went to the psychiatrist at my university in regards to ADD/ADHD symptoms that I have experienced my entire life. After giving him a pretty thorough reasoning as to why I believed I have the symptoms (textbook Type 2-Inattentive ADD), he pretty much said everything he could to disprove it. I was never assessed with ADD as a child because of my high grades in elementary school, but I was hyperactive and a distraction to other children and it became more apparent throughout high school. It is not just a problem with school, but it also seems to effect my way of life, especially with my relationships to people and work. Anyways, he went on to talk about if I had problems with anxiety and stress and I did tell him that I tend to worry alot and going through some stressful situations and he tried to pinpoint my problem to that, instead of my problems with attention. I have another meeting with him soon and need to know what I should say to make sure he knows that ADD is the main problem.
