Mental Health - October 2007

I am fealing like nothing I do matters. I thought maybe it was just stress and ignored it.
It's getting worse. I no longer enjoy doing things that I used to love to do, and I feel like a constant failure. Also I have been having these feelings of anger for little things.
I have also been feeling really tired.

I was wondering what this is. Depression or a lack of sleep or what?

Please help!

I dont think i will make it the 30 days that it takes for an antidepressant to kick in.
Are there any antidepressants that take effect right when you start taking them.
Or are there any other medications that will make me feel better right away? like more relaxed, calm?
i feel like i need a tranquilizer or something.
i dont know how long im going to make it.

He doesnt listen, he gets angry and laughs when he doesnt obey , he makes everyone around him not like him. It has gotten to the point his mom is at wits end.

theres SO much drama. from friends...to parents...to the whole guys situation. i cant think of anything to get my mind off all of it. it feels like im over reacting to some of the stuff thats going on, and then others its like im supposed too.
1) i used to really really like this one guy. but then he wouldnt talk to me at all. he used to talk to me whenever we were going to the bus. then he stopped. now, whenever i hear his name i cringe. its like its everywhere (his name isnt common).2) my friends keep totally ignoring me, and if they arent...they listen but dont say anything. its 2 of them. i dont get it. its like one minute theyre my friend and the next im their worst enemy. the one never calls back. she used to be my bff. the other 2. well. idk
sometimes i feel like i want to lock myself in a room and never talk to anyone but the people i know that i can truly trust again. its like i cant trust anybody but certain people. any1 have any advice on how to get it all out of my head??

There's a lot going on in my life, and no one can help me. Most of it are financial problems, and I have been stressing a lot for more than a week, and I keep waking up at night and I always end up crying because of how much it worries me. I do have a job, but it's not for what came to me (bills,etc) it's just too many problems to name. Plus I go to college as well, and the classes and the work stresses me out even more. Well, to make things worse, i haven't been to a doctor at all to get prenatal care because i don't have medical insurance and the state medicaid is taking so long to process and qualify me for the medical benefits, i have been waiting for 3 weeks now, and I still don't have an answer for them. I am very frustrated over everything, i feel like nothing comes out right for me, i just don't know what to do anymore

Whenever i go over my best friend's houses (she's the only friend's house i go to) when it comes to eating i can't swallow, getting uneasy etc. i can't even eat half of the food on my plate there and they start to believe i barely eat or i'm ana. they even said some hurtfully things like saying "i bet she won't eat all of that, don't waste food etc" "you need to eat more" "you look like your starving" or tease me. is there anything that could help?

I work at a job where I am constantly standing and using my hands, with occasional breaks where I have nothing to do and just stand around at my station. I get bored very quickly. Are there any mind games, things I could think about, something I could concentrate on, or anything I could do during these down times so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time and my brain is dying in the process? This is kind of an odd question, but I feel like I could at least be keeping my brain alive during my extremely boring shift.

I have a bipolar girlfriend and I want her to be stable but she doesn't want to take any pills. This is because she went to gifted school when she was younger, and she is very confident of how smart she is. She believes that she doesn't need to take medication. I can tell she is educated, brainy and got higher IQ but instead, she can hardly listen to my opinion. She can't listen to her parents or anyone surrounding her. She smokes weed often to relax but I don't like that and I don't think it's good for her either. She smokes a lot! If I tell her to stop smoking and take medication, she will be mad. How should I convince her that pill is the best way to be in stable condition? Do I just have to wait until she gets to the point that she cannot move?? Any suggestion?
Thank you.

Not something that's supposed to be funny. I do it all the time and I can't figure out if i'm a little nuts or if other people cope this way. My boyfriend, who I was crazy about, broke up with me a few months ago and I couldn't stop laughing as he gathered his stuff. I mean, I was in hysterics. I had someone rear end my car a few weeks ago and I was laughing so hard I could barely talk to the other driver. I don't know if i'm losing it or what. No wise answers please, i'm being serious for once.

My father is very sick. He complains of pain all the time, but his surgeon says it's from dimentia. I can tell the plan is to send him to a nursing home and there I know he won't get the help he needs. No doctor will see him as a regular patient because he's 70 and had so many issues in the past. His regular doc disappeared from the face of the earth.

I truly believe my dad has a chance if a doctor, who cares, would actually listen to him. I've been told that Ohmsbusman are just in it for the hospital or nursing home interest, not my dad's.

Who can help me? Timing i so crutial. When my dad feels physically good, his mind works great. But it seems his surgeon is saying he's fading fast. I know it's because of his pain, not mental. How can I get the best care for my dad. . . please. . . . noone seems to be on his side.

My fiance hates to be touched. It takes him an abnormally long time to warm up to people. He shakes when we are in public, even when we go grocery shopping. He also tends to hide away, and its hard for him to complete simple tasks. I thought maybe it was social anxiety disorder, but my mother thinks it sounds like a touch of autism to her. When he was a child, he was actually diagnosed as a sociopath. He was never on medication for it, and is debating seeing a psychiatrist now, so i thought i would do some research for him. Also, does anyone know of a free site where i could just type in a list of symptoms and see what it comes up with. Thank you!

Is tobacco addictive? i know normal cigarrettes are addictive, but is this only due to the chemicals and nicotine? how bad are the cigarrettes that you roll yourself for your health? it's just that i like the smell of tobacco smoke, not the normal ciggie smoke, and often think, well how bad would it be to smoke, if it doesn't contain all the harmful chemicals? i often get really angry, wound up and stressed out, and i think smoking tobacco would calm me down a bit? i need info and advice please people! no nasty comments either!

It seems too loud to be the 'sound of nothing' because one of the times I had a friend over and as I was talking to him I could hear it and it was about as loud as he was talking.

Leaving the TV on helps, but I still hear it (and it watses alot of electricity because the off timer doesnt work)

The problem with it is that it makes it harder for me to go to sleep and can become very annoying.
