Mental Health - October 2007

I have come to the conclusion that therapists are worthless..therapy is a waste of time.

Your thoughts on this?

Ok, so i have been diagnosed and treated for depression, anxiety, bipolar, and self mutilation. I'm 19 years old so my insurance has run out. I need care. I need to know if there are therapists or group therapies that don't require insurance and isn't outrageously over priced. I don't make that much money. But i seriously need help....it's starting to effect my life in ways that i cant let it. Pleast help.

I used to have a stuttering problem as a child, and went to speech therapy for it. It has since went away. However, now for the past 4 or 5 years have had trouble saying my name. I know my name, but when people ask me in person or if meet them, I freeze up or try to say it and stammer badly. The same thing happens when I use the phone. If people ask me my name, for some reason I can't say it and it makes me look stupid or people look at me weird.

Are there any tips that you can give me to help me with this problem? I am a confident person and I want to overcome this obstacle. Have any of you had this problem before? Is it anxiety? Please help me if you can. Thank you for your answers...:)

- Steven.

My most recent MRI scan revealed the most undesirable results, but I am unable to view the images on my computer, as I did previously. I was told to just put the disk in the drive and it would auto play. Any ideas on how to view these images would be most helpful. Thanks...

Why are, apparently ⅛ of you suicidal? The full moon was two nights ago. Halloween isn't for four more nights. What's the problem here?

Granted, this is my first Saturday Night at "Yahoo! Answers"
Are there always this many suicidal folks to save from themselves, or is this a especial night?

I feel weird and disconnected all the time. But at school and in public I can't be how I feel, if I'm sad I act happy and smiling. For all emotions, sometimes when people ask what's wrong I can't say anything becuase they know I"m lying if I say fine. I don't know what to do about it. When I try ot approach and talk about it with a close friend they think I'm joking and start talking about something else. And it's like that for all of them!
Also I got a call from my aunt Jackie, who moved along with a lot of my family, and also got a letter. I could feel the emotion welling up, but nothing came out until I heard her voice. And I still couldn't tell her how I felt.
HELP ME!
What can I do to be able to open up and tell people what I'm feeling and stuff? And how can I make myself seem more approachable for other girls, as friends, and guys, as friends or more or whatever?

certainty. the question is whether it is possible (highly, not just "well, anything is possible") if i was truly sexually abused as a child. (thank the lord for anonyminity). strong sexual abuse situations were prominant in the home my father grew up in. there are definite cases with patricular siblings. he himself has been accused, but not convicted of it with in-laws. he has emotional and interpersonal relationship problems. he was verbally, mentally and physically abusive to both my brother and i, as well as a very controlling husband, which included unwanted sexual situations my mother once confided to me (as an adult). i am 31, and have been diagnosed, as well as hospitalized, with borderline personality disorder. i was very reckless / promiscuous before i learned how to manage myself, at least in that area. i understand the extent of his obvious abuse could very well be all i had to endure to have these feelings. but i've noticed that triggers relating to

last year i was really depressed. my family is really open, and they tell people if they think they are overweight naturally. i had many social problems and i would wound up hiding in the toilet before lessons just to avoid mixing with other people. my parents are irranian and my dad moved to england and lived here by himself when he was 14, and my mum was in a country where you couldnt show your hair incase a man would get sexually aroused. they dont believe in love, i have an arranged marraige planned for me... my dad has a really short temper and i get very scared when he gets angry which is nightly... i feel that my social imbalance is due to my insecurity, my heart starts beating unaturally fast, i have sleepless nights, i lost 6kgs this summer, and my head is starting to sway even when i sit and ive feel very dizzy and tired and i nearly fell over today. i cry a lot, daily... will i die early because of this?

My stepdad is extremely mentally abusive towards my mother. I just found out the abuse has been going on for years.

Someone recently told me that he has to be given a pass on all of his abusive behavior because he grew up with neglect & abandonment issues which has directly contributed to his abusive behavior. Although he has not been officially diagnosed with either manic depression or borderline personality disorder he displays 9 out 10 charateristics that I have read about. I'm wondering if abusive behavior is something that has to be accepted b/c someone is mentally ill or does there come a time when the mental illness cannot be the cause of the abuse and the person is just straight up abusive and doesn't get to use anymore "excuses" for their behavior?

What happens to my daughter when I kick the bucket. She's diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. Hasn't held a job since she came back to live with me 5 1/2 yrs ago;don't know if she can hold a job. Unless mental agency comes to house to see that she takes her medication...she doesn't take it.

by the company i work for and also one of the floor managers at work. its got to the point where i dont enjoy my job anymore cos they wont leave me alone. they keep picking on everything i do. they watch me like a hawk all the time, like whenever i go somewhere to get stock or do anything they ask everyone where i am and what time i went. i know for a fact that no one else in my workplace gets treated like this. there are lots of other things they pick on me for but its too much to go into. its like they are waiting for me to do something wrong, then i get taken into a room and spoken to like im being interviewed by the police. i hate them all and they make my working life miserable. im trying to leave right now, ive had numerous interviews and i will go at the first chance i get. but i want to know if theres anything i can do about the way they have treated me as its caused me a lot of emotional stress and embarrasment in my job.

Are you somebody who is scared to talk to people cause your afraid of being slapped down? Or you worry alot about what other people think, say about you, or will do to you. Are you afraid of being humiliated or looking stupid? Do you avoid lots of people in general even if you already know them and they know you? Do you worry alot about how others will react to what you have to say? Are you afraid of not knowing what to say to someone, not knowing what to say to someone next after talking to someone about something else, or thinking you may not be able to answer someones question(s) correctly? Does just even thinking about these kinds things scare you? You thoughts and opinions on this if you would please.....
