Mental Health - September 2007

I'm so stressed out guys my mom has been drinking for a while but now she doesn't sleep so she's been drinking every moment of the day. she had really bad pains in her stomach throughout last night and earlier this morning she was puking for ages. i've tried everything to make her stop. i've thrown alchol away or hid it from her, i've tried to make her see it's unhealthy, i've tried to make her feel guilty but nothing is helping. she's the most stubborn woman ever and i've got no-one else to talk to about this. i'm seriosly scared she's killing herself, her best friend died of liver failure due to drinking in 2001 but still that didn't stop her. And whenever i try to help her she becomes really violent and i just can't take it. i'm a senior and i need to keep my grades up or i won't graduate, but i can't concentrate because i'm worried about what she's doing when i'm at school. what do you guys think i could do to make her stop. i don't know what i'd do if she died i don't have anyone.

Example. I was dating this super hot girl and as soon as I knew I could F her I lost interest. Why? Because I have already F'ed hot girls and I know the outcome, a great orgasm. Another example, I was about to master playing the piano but after 2 months I lost interest. I nearly completed a commercial level computer program but then I lost interest. I figured out and planned on designing a virtual world but then I lost interest. Once I have things figured out I dont' want to do it anymore. WTF is wrong with me? PLEASE HELP. I need help! I have several ideas that will make millions of dollars but since I see it already succeeding in my head, I don't feel like doing it anymore.

When people[on this site] ask for advice after they have been abused or raped I find it very irritating and so rude when I see people answer telling them to go to the police and report it.

Having been raped by boy who is friends with all of my friends and sexually abused by a family friend, there is no way I could have reported their behavior without being even more abused by my 'friends' and family.

Those people who answer saying, go to the police, it's the only thing that will help, chances are you havn't been in their position so don't judge.

My counsellor told me that going to the police was almost a waste of time for me, because it would be my word against his. That less than 5% of all reported rapes actually are heard in court and less than 1% are found guilty.

I don't blame any victim for not reporting it. Most of these attacks are one off. It's about the victim receiving the help that they need!

What are your thoughts?

Have been diagnosed with panic attacks and anxiety. Am on Valium (short term) and Prozac.

Many of the symptoms are better ie. cold sweats, palpitations, being unable to go into shops etc. Have had physical conditions ruled out,

But, when I wake up I seem to have had horrible dreams night before and wake to pins and needles in my arms. Any ideas help would be appreciated,

Thank you!

I know this may sound stupid, but i thought self harm only applied to people who cut themselves, but i recently discovered there are many types of self harm.

I don't know if i have problem, but i have a thing with pills. Everday ingest a ridiculous amount of pills, sometimes i take them for the sake of it.

I have big thing with Tylenol PM, used to take 3 every night but that now has increased to 5/6 a night. I go through 225 capulets like it's water, i usually go through a box in a month. I don't know why but sometimes i will drink a small bottle spirit/brandy and take the pill with it.

I know its damaging my liver and but a big part of me doesn't care, sometimes the possiblity of dying isn't so bad.

I was kinda depressed a few months ago and started taking fluoxentine, but i started to get a bit lazy and stopped taking them.

Do you think i Have got a problem????

I've been with this man only two months but have known him for a few years before that. He is very clingy and needy, and depressed too. Everytime I get angry at him, or don't want to spend every single ounce of free time that I have with him, he hurts himself or breaks things. What should I do? I'm so tired of the clinginess, but don't want to be downright mean to him either.

Her company took forever to even say she could file a Workers Comp ( she got robbed at her place of work) This happened in Jan07 and she seems to be going down hill sice then. WC finally allowed her to see a psyc doctor in July 6mo later. They said she had PTSD and anxiety gave her a bunch of meds and sleeping pills, and told her to start a journal. None of this seems to be working. She seems so unhappy all the time She's a wonderful mother to our three kids but I just don't see that sparkle in her eyes anymore. She is nervous anf jumpy all the time, she very rarely leaves the house. She won't even walk the dog around the block. I've tried talking to her and getting her out of the house, but she gets so paranoid and nervous.
WHAT SHOULD I DO. I love this woman, she's the mother of my kids, and I want her back and healthy and happy!!!

Any suggestion or anyone going through something like this. I need advise!
Thanks

I know I posted this already, but I need more answers then what I'm getting - and not so many answers about seeking professional help, but more answers from people who have gone through the same thing, and can tell me how to deal with it. ok....so I have this HUGE problem with anxiety. I can't even go and order something from a fast food place or anything like that, and I am too afraid to apply for a job because I'm terrified of making a mistake in front of everyone. And when I walk in public, my anxiety gets so bad that I find it hard to even walk. I get dizzy when I walk in public, and it's like my legs want to freeze up or something. I feel almost paralyzed when that happens, and I seem to walk really tense from what my dad says. Does anyone else know where I'm coming from, or know a friend/family member with the same problem? If so, could you please give me some advice?! I would love to talk to someone who is/has gone through what I am going through - Jessie_Masson@hotmail.com

I found a website about a year ago that had great, uplifting and funny stories shared from people who had anxiety disorders.
I haven't had any luck finding it lately and was wondering if anyone had knowledge of this site?

I use to have no energy--for about three months after being in the hospital. Finally got my meds adjusted again and I don't want to sleep all the time now. I have four pets and a husband. He does not know how to clean, but he will pick up the house and do the dishes. I have to deal with all the dirty chores and laundry if I want it done. I have 14 rooms and they are never all clean anymore at the same time. I just had a yardsale recently and got rid of all my junk possible at this time. I am trying. Any advice for me? And tell me--is your house spotless and tidy a lot?

Oh and I work 5 days per week. I am a teacher.

I was discharged from the U.S. military on June 27, 2007. Since then, I've gained 20 lbs, never in a good mood, and I have these rage swings. I almost crushed my sister's Chihuaha's neck because of this. It's only through bare restraint that I've held it together. Is there a reason I feel like ****?

I am 15 and I have been having terrible night terrors. My brother says I scream and cry out in my sleep,and when he tries to wake me up, I start hitting everything that is near me, including him. I don't remember hitting anything, but I do remember my dreams, which have me pretty shook up for the rest of the day. It ruins my day and I was wondering if anyone could help me and tell me if there is a way to stop it.
Thanks a lot.
