Mental Health - September 2007

I am stressed out and it is the first day of school. Stress is EVERYWHERE and I can't deal with it! It has been like this for about 1 and a half years now, and it's getting really out of control. I come home and cry for hours to relieve it- sometimes that doesn't even work. It makes me feel mad at others too and I can't calm myself down. I am having difficulty sleeping due to stress and anxiety.. I'm always anxious. Does anyone have this problem? Does anyone know someone who has this problem? Does anyone have a CURE..? Any pills, liquids, patches, aromatherapy- anything? Also, any ways to excersize? I heard excersizing can reduce stress A LOT but I'm not sure how to balance SCHOOL, HOMEWORK (so much!!), excersizing, and personal hygene (long, cleaning showers, cleaning face before bed, moisturizing- i'm a hygene freak too) . Please let me know how I can excersize QUICKLY, and reduce my stress.
Thanks in advance.

I am a 17 year old male. I have bipolar 1 disorder. I have been taking Seroquel 25 mg two times a day for almost 3 months. Lately, I have become very hostile and angry. Like I hate the world attitude. I feel very suicidal sometimes, but I never act on it. I have very strong impulses for sex and drugs, and I smoke marijuana. Could this be my negative feeling? The marijuana use? I cannot drink on it because one my shrink told me not to, and two I am an alcoholic. Anyways, should my doctor up my dosage?

I'm 22. I can read perfectly fine. I graduated high school and never was in any type of remedial classes and ever been diagnosed with any type of disorder.

The other day when I was reading something out loud to my boyfriend I noticed I do something very strange. I'll read most of the sentence fine but its as if I skip over words and put in my own words. Not on purpse, its just the way I see the sentence. I thought it was just bc I tend to read fast but even when I slowed down I did the same thing. If I see the word CAT I'll read over it and see the C and the T and I'll throw in the word COT or CUT.

And I noticed that when i do read I have to read over the same sentence or paragraph 2-3 times before I understand what is being said/told to me. This I noticed while still in high school. I had a hell of a time with tests and I always took longer than other people with reading assignments.
Are these traits of a learning disorder or could it be something else?

Im 19 yrs old and weigh 115lbs. Until this year, I normally weighed under 100 lbs, the highest being 98lbs and the lowest being 90 lbs. Im 5'2. I think that Im chunky but everyone says that I just look normal and that I was a little too thin before. I never thought I had an eating disorder when I was thinner but thinking back I really only ate one meal a day because I was afraid of what people would think watching me eat (I was in school at the time) I thought they would think I was fat or that I ate like an animal or something. Now that Im in college I normally just eat with family or friends, but I still think Im fat because I used to wear size 0 jeans and now Im lucky to squeeze into a 4. So whats the deal, am I anorexic or is it just something else? Thanks

School recently started and I only have a few classes with my friends. I see them at times, but for some reason I feel so lonely and sad all the time. i want to be happier, but I can't help it. And also, a lot of things bother me. I always think about EVERYTHING. I don't know how to explain. Any help?

i recently started my second year of high school.. i don't know why but in most classes i feel awkward, and like i don't belong with anyone there. i have no friends in most of my classes.. and there's not really oppertunity to make friends with people in my classes because cliques have already been formed.. and i'm not in one of them. on top of that my teacher just announced we'd be doing a lot of presentations and acting and dancing for the class.. i get so anxious before presentations.. i can't sleep the night before.. i start thinking of bad thoughts i shouldn't be thinking of. i basically convince myself i'd rather be anywhere but there.. and i don't care waht i have to do ( slit myself :S ) i don't know where this is coming from. i was going to cry in class today.. doing anything in front of all those strange faces just makes me so nervous.. and i shouldn't be. i'm alread panicing. i cried as soon as i got home and i don't feel like talking to anyone or going back to any classes

i need advice on how to stop drinking. all my friends do it and most saturdays (ok, all) are centred around booze. most friends are supportive and everything but i when i start drinking i cant stop, and i cant help but start.
i keep getting into more and more trouble and i realise it's all my fault, but i cant stop. last saturday i lost my virginity to somebody when i was outdoors and he gave me a fake name. i'd taken about 15 units or something and a few pills. i realise im incredibly stupid and im making myself vulnerable but i dont know what else to do but drink when im depressed.
PLEASE dont give abuse, i know its my fault, i should stop, but i need advice on how to first.
plus i've made a lot of enemies and talked a lot of crap pissed, and most weekends i pass out at least 3 or 4 times, get sick, etc.
my parents arent neglecting or anything i can just hide it quite welll so they havent noticed anything, and i cant tell them, ever.
thankyou if you can help x

Serious Answers only please!!!

I have a friend who's 3 yr old has an extreme obsession with laundry soap bottles...likes to play with them and carries them around the house like a security blanket. He also takes 2-3 baths each day (not sure if he likes to play in the water or if he's wanting to be clean?). And it's not just laundry soap bottles, he also likes cleaning supply bottles like windex and the like (keep in mind these are all empty when he plays with them so no poisoning risks ok).

So I'm wondering does he have weird pschological problems or is it just strange parent behavior? The mom is sick of the soap bottles but won't get rid of them bc her kid throws a fit. Extra info, the boy doesn't seem to be very social, will play around other kids but not with other kids. Also seems to have little if any imagination.

Any thoughts? If you are a psych professional, please let me know what's going on with this kid. I think he needs to be evaluated

im scared too face my reality, why? id rather go to the front line in iraq then deal with my issues, my repressed emotions. the past 11 years have been emotionless, stale, no joy, happiness, feelings at all, just a sea of self hatred, anxiety, confusion, depression.

its come to a point now i think of ending it all, every month passing it only adds to my mental state. i have nothing to look forward too, i am alone, i view people as empty shells like myself, i cant connect to anyone. i hardly leave my house, everytime i do i become overwhelemd with fear and anxiety and want to vomit.

i think crying, or showing myself is a sign of weakness, and people can see into my soul when i unleash my emotions and that worries me....whats with me?....am i different from other people, i am sensitive to an extreme point. the days are getting long now, im lost at what to do, im so tired.

I already watched Dane Cook but watching the same thing has lost its effectiveness. I am so depressed and I feel rejected because my dr hasn't returned my messages. I feel like he's giving up on me because I am hopeless and maybe he was only trying to be nice to me but he probably can't figure what to do with me.

clonazepam. It is supposed to restore the body's receptors to the point they were before beginning clonazepam. Where can I get this procedure done? Is it widely available? My doctors do not even admit that clonazepam is addictive, so I can't get much from them.

im sat here in my one room apartment very upset. im 30 years old now, ive lived alone for two years now. but ive endured a very hard and traumatic life with abuse and victimization.

unfortunatly i have bpd which is a very tough illness to treat so ive heard, and a long mental health history as my problems started at 16.
i am waiting for therapy right now.
but i sit here everyday feeling alone, depressed and unmotivated.
i sit here thinking about my goals and dreams, which are, to move away from the uk, to immigrate to a hot sunny climate. turn over a new leaf, build a new life.
but that seems impossible and to far away to ever accomplish, and i feel overwhelmed by it...
i worry i might be doomed to remain in britain in my one bedroom apartment forever, with no hope of ever getting out. like a stuck feeling. like im incapable of changing it.

i was born in the south of france, came to britain at 6. and iam native american heritage to.

I just cant understand it, I know they are people like me, I know they wont hurt me, I know if I become nervous is when I'll be making a fool of myself yet what do I do? I become nervous, I panic, why?

I try, I try to fight it, be confident yet every time I have to present something in front of a crowd my heart starts beating heavily, swelling in my chest, my hands shake, and I feel like I stand funny, why is this, what is this fear? Is it normal? How can I overcome it?

hello i'm a labourer and i hoped to get at least to 40 years of age before having to pack it in. this morning i woke up in agony. my wrists are killing me i have spina bifida by proxy as well so the hairy patch on my spine is driving me nuts. i couldnt make it into work so i had to tell my line manager. i've taken knocks and cracks that would put a person of normal strength in hospital. i feel really sorry for myself today, i dont feel well. i work for an agency and the foreman told me this wednesday was my last day, so why the hell should i bother going across town for another 2 days work. all i've done with most of my working life is labour. and i'm **** scared of having to face reality that all the knocks and cracks have taken their toll on me. i have no friends and i feel like i've let my missus down as well. i'm only 35 the future for me is very bleak. how do i get out of this? any info is of great help. thank you.
