Mental Health - September 2007

schizophrenia is a serious mental illness, those who suffers from this illness went through traumatic and depressing life. the problem is we can't tell the symptoms nor we can't cure it.

well they say if you hear voices in your head, see things that you are not supose to see( dead people) and belief that you have ability to read minds, if you have these symptoms you probally suffer this illness. but I don't know, too me all these symptom is just super natural.

I am 26 and i know that i have basically not lived any kind of life i just want to die i truly do. I look at other girls and internally cry because i cannot be like them. People say dont worry about the past think of the future but its more complicated than that. I fifnd it hard to be seperated from my family, to be alone, i can do nothing for myself and i have fibromyalgia and major depression. I feel exhausted and unable to think all the time. I see my life passing me by and i see no way out.

Plesase dont talk to me about god, psychiatrists, hospital or suicide lines. i would be very interested to hear any stories of people who have majorly changed their lives

I sort of have these personal problems, that scare me, upset me, ect. Alot of the times I start twitching, more or less my right shoulder. If something upsets me or scares me that I don't want to happen or don't want to think about or something that I really dont enjoy thinking about, which happens alot, my right shoulder starts twitching, like moving back suddenly again and again.

Is this normal?

I was told it would work short term for my post natal depression..ten years on, still on it. Every time I try to come off (slowly, petering out the tablets not sudden withdrawal) I get odd symptoms...brain 'zaps', and feeling even more depressed than I remember being before I went on the tablets. It is almost like Prozac has created the problem by changing the brain chemicals so much that I my brain can't remember how I used to feel. I dread the thought of being reliant on this drug for the rest of my life in order to feel 'normal'.

I'm talking really depressed. I used to not get along with them and I also used to have depression at one point when I lived with them. Now everything's fine and I don't live there but I visit once a week and spend the night. What's going on?

okay. so. I was "diagnosed" with bipolar disorder, and given many medications that only increased my problems. I was bored one day, and was looking up the different types of depressions online, and came across psychotic depression, something I have never heard of before, but it made me stop in my tracks. I tried to explain it to my mother, and told her about it, but she only said "Stop self-diagnosing yourself". The thing is, I DON'T self diagnose, and never have before, this thing really was me, but for some reason, she won't accept it. She accepted it when I was depressed, and even diagnosed with bipolar depression, but she can't seem to wrap her brain around the concept of this. I know i need help, but, obviously, i'm on her insurance, and can't really do much on my own, I need her help. What can i do to .... convince her, i guess, that i do need extended help and treatment to get over this?

i'm sorry to post this more than once, but most of my q's get answered like... right away

I have a lot of unresolved issues with my ex, so along with feeling sad, I've been very angry. Plus, tomorrow would have been our wedding day, so I need to feel the emotion of some good music to get me through this mood. I've been listening to a lot of Fiona Apple. She's good at singing about anger. What songs did you relate to the most when you went through a breakup?
Here's the song I'm hooked on right now.

As a child.. I developed phobias quite easily. I've been struggling with a few lately, and I would like to know what would cause me to have so many phobias. They're pretty unrelated and my childhood was not very traumatic. I was diagnosed with some sort of juvenile on set schizophrenia.. I'm a bit shakey on the details..

He goes to sleep @ a good time - but can't sleep longer than 3-5 hours. So he is up at 2 or 4 in the morning. Then he gets tired at school and the school gets mad at me... but he swears he can't go back to sleep after a few hours of sleep. This had been going on - progressively worsening for about a year.

I ve been through some traumatic experiences and people are always saying to let go of things and not try to control everything. I dont know how to let go and I have no clue of even what it would look like. My therapist says to meditate, but what would that do what do I give up or let go of ? I know this seems like a simple concept but at the same time I feel like Im missing something. So if someone could fill me in any advice would be great thanks!!
