Mental Health - October 2007

with me?
ive had paranoia for a long time, im a great trauma, abuse and bullying survivor to. i have borderline personality disorder.
ive never made any friends in life at all. because of the problems ive had socially and having low self esteem.

the few friends ive made which are 1 or 2 online, have not made contact for weeks,. i already feel as though im being ostracized and singled out by people, which ive felt for a long time...and the fact that the few good people ive met online have just stopped contacting me.......im thinking theyve been told to discontinue contact and have been told to avoid me....

this is making me angry and depressed and more isolated than i already feel....

ive begun to isolate myself, have bad anxiety and panic everyday...i have bleak low moods everyday..

how can i handle the fact that everybody i seem to discover always leaves me....and maybe the fact theyve been told to stay away, not get involved?

I am 26 and I am not sure of the career path I want to take. I am currently a teacher but I don't feel fulfilled at all. I am really unhappy going to work in the morning. I don't have my certification yet, but I don't even know if I want it. I wanted to be a school psychologist when I graduated with my B.A. degree in psychology but I just don't know if that is what I really want to do.........Sometimes I just feel lost and unsure.............like I just want to scrap it all and start over again. I see other women my age and they are so sure of themselves. They know where they are headed career wise. They have "it" together. I don't. I still live with my mom. Am I too old for this?

After a 5year relationship living with my boyfriend i am totally confused and feeling very down. He won't marry me(has said), isn't happy and wants to move back north to his home. sometimes he contradicts himself by saying the opposite.He won't compromise at all. I found him texting other women dodgy txt stuff a while back and using datelines. I felt betrayed and hurt.He felt justified in what he did and he never really thought anything was wrong with that, its not cheating to him. We have argued and i have ended up being pushed over.He has lashed out twice in frustration, in one i ended up with a burst eardrum as he slapped me across the ear.Although these things are in frustration i feel disappointed with him.I have not been the most trusting of him but i now believe trust is earned in part. A few months ago one of my closest friends commited suicide and it really hit me. He has shown no real interest. If i interrupt the tv/dvd to talk to him he gets annoyed. Whats wrong with him?

I don't know what my problem is. I have a million triggers that have made me blow up. Especially at my husband. I start yelling and doing stuff to push his buttons deliberately. He tells me to stop but I keep on and keep on because I feel so angry inside. I have pushed him and slapped him in my rage. We have no kids because I am scared that I may blow up at them. I have even been so angry I feel like killing myself at times but I never had the courage. I have a very manipulative spirit too. I will lie to others and make up outrageous things to get people's sympathy. I can't afford to see a doctor but I really do need help. Does anyone know what this is called? I live in Kokomo, IN if anyone can recommend a cheap if not free clinic. Thanks! ((HUGS))

Occasionally my boyfriend wakes up in the middle of the night from a nightmare gasping for breath and trying to scream. Understandably it startles me quite a bit, but I am somewhat used to it now so as soon as I wake up I just start saying his name and telling him everythings okay and that I am right here. His nightmares usually involve someone being in the room, so when he wakes up he is convinced someone or something is in the room, so it always freaks me out too. It worries me that when he is older he might give himself a heart attack from one of these nightmares. I think a factor may be that his mother passed away when he was 14 (he is 21 now). He lived only with her and they were best friends. Her death was very traumatic to him, and he had to leave his lifestyle in California, and move to distant relatives on the east coast. Could this be from Post-Traumatic Stress, or some other factor. Is there anything I can do to help him, or should he see a therapist? Thank you very much!

I am always afraid something bad is going to happen. Like, get fired or get arrested for something I didn't do or that I will never get married or something is wrong with my car or my cat?

Currently I'm not taking any medications, but after some careful thought I've decided that I'd like another try with antidepressants. I have anxiety/depressive mood swings. In the past I've taken medications, but with a bad experience probably due to my lifestyle at the time and due to the fact that my psychiatrist saw me for 5 minutes, handed me some 'scripts and said he'll see me again in a few months time. When I came to him with complaints about the medications, he basically told me to stop being depressed because I come from an affluent family background and see a psychologist as he has no time to talk to me.

I understand that GPs and psychiatrists do not do therapy, I was seeing a psychologist as well, but my complaints were about new issues that arose after starting the medications. I even gave 6 weeks for my body to adjust. My problems with the meds only got worse!!

Any methods to finding a good doctor? There are too many bad doctors out there!!

I'm in year 10 and i'm sitting my Trial School Certificate english and science exams tomorrow and i am scared that i will have a panic attack in the middle of it.

I have had about 50 panic attacks over the past 2 months (mostly during the night).
I am in the process of recieving treatment and i have an appointment with a Psychietrist next week.


My question is:
Should i tell my year co-ordinator about my panic attacks so that she can tell my teachers to let me leave the room when i need to?

The past couple weeks I have been extremely anxious. A sample of my brain in the last couple of hours:

1. Is my mouth less dry than usual?
2. I wonder if I am developing epilepsy?
3. Why can I never get anything done?
4. Maybe I have a brain tumor? I should google that....

My life is stresssful. I live in NYC, have a very unreliable career in the arts, and work at starbucks to support that unreliable career. My ex and I recently got back together and are trying to work things out, so yeah, there have been tons of life changes lately.
My question is, how do I cope with all this anxiety on my own until my health insurance kicks in?

2 summers ago I volunteered at a museum with another girl I knew. There was one man there who would follow us around; he was a volunteer also so we didn't think to much about it. Then he would start to stand very very close to us, or would stare at our chests when we wore tanktops. But that wasn't the worst. Towards the end of the summer he would joke about how we put something in the wrong spot and that we should be spanked. We were disturbed by this, but we just laughed. Then he would basically threaten to take off our pants and spank us. Soon after we quit, but it still affects me. I'm a freshman and now I think all men are out to rape me and I'm terrified by them. I don't want to tell my parents about this experience, but I really need some help. Some friends said to see the school counselor, but I don't know how that would help & I wouldn't be comfortable explaining this them (mine is a guy). I really need help. Please nothing about telling my parents. I can't for many reasons.

I am 21 years old and currently trying to get my life on track. I am taking antidepressants/antianxiety medication called Cipralex for depression and anxiety disorder. I am also going to start counselling soon.

In the meantime, I am having a hard time finding work and it seems I get sucked into my friend's problems and end up being their rock.

What can I do to improve my life? I would like any changes ie. good jobs, etc to look for, clubs to join, etc to improve my life and getting my life in order to become a happier, well-rounded person.

Thanks!

My son completed suicide last yr. and i miss him dearly. I guess i am doing ok. but if anyone has some good answers it may help. I know about the religous aspect but i have been kinda mad at God. I also lost my dad and sister last yr. I am in counseling, and it has helped alot. I am now teaching a class on how to deal with mental disorders. My son and myself have depression and he had ADHD. I guess that i am doing good. But if anyone can give me more ideas that would be great. I just want to help people get thru situations that i have been thru. I feel that this would help me get thru all this. I also want to adopt A HIGHWAY in memory of my son. My son(when he was younger, he said he wanted to be a hero) by helping others i feel he is being a hero in around about way.

I probably would feel really uncomfortable, and I wouldn't know what to say. Also is it covered under health insurance? I'm a male in my early twenties.

but sometimes, I feel like someone, specificly a man, possibly in his late 30's, is standing behind me with a knife. Usually, if I start to think about it, I will feel like someone is jabbing be with a knife handle. I can't ignore it either. When I get this feeling, I see myself, and the man. (example: If I'm in class and I get the feeling, I will see myself sitting, doing my work, and I will see the man, jabbing me with the knife handle.) I am getting this feeling quite often, and I am going to see a doctor on the 22nd, but I doubt I can wait until then. What is wrong with me, and does anyone else have this feeling or something similar to it?

I'm an almost 30 year old mom of three kids. My husband and I are both into alternative lifestyles (goth, in particular), as well as I'm bisexual.

My parents live with us, and make it very difficult for me to have any outside friends, because they feel that my life should revolve around my kids. That I should have NO LIFE other than my children (despite the fact that when my mother first had her kids, she continued to sing and tour profesionally).

Due to my mental health issues, I need to have a support system, other than verbally abusive parents.

I'm looking for websites (since I CAN get on the computer) where I might be able to meet other people with similar interests to mine, possibly to meet up with OFFLINE. I need a life, I NEED FRIENDS!

Any suggestions?

I don't know whats wrong with me. I've been really depressed - Can't get out of bed, constantly procrastinating, irritable. I used to be really levelheaded and chilled out. Most people think I still am. My life isn't any worse than anybody else's. I can't think of any events or background that could have caused this. It's been going on for about 10 years. It started with these weird mood swings - I guess I can describe it where suddenly I would feel that everything was stupid and pathetic and really empty. It has gotten worse in the past few years. I was so tired all the time I got a blood test - nothing. I have no patience anymore and get frustrated really easy. I am usually just really numb. I tried exercise, which helped for a little. I stopped smoking pot because I no longer get a good high. I'm really careful around harder drugs because I know I would do to myself. I think my personality has changed, and I have been making really bad decisions that are affecting school and work.
