Mental Health - October 2007

I told my college professor about my mental illness, & she pretended to feel sorry for me, & then when I asked her about any exams I missed, due to absences because of my illnesses, she got rude with me. I even have a doctor's excuse & she won't even tell me what tests they took this week. I was sick with anxiety & depression symptoms all week. She said she doesn't remember what tests she gave, & she's the professor. How could she forget? & we're not on point with the syllabus. & she tried to make it like I was being lazy & irresponsible. Yesterday I was so depressed & stressed out that I attempted suicide & tried to drown myself, & my friend jumped in the bath tub & tried to save me. So when the professor told me what she told me, I felt even worse. I had an anxiety attack last week & the professor "pretended" to console me & sympathize. I'm really mentally hurting to the point where it's interfering with my daily life.

ive been taking clonazepam for GAD/clinical depression, and i know thats a benzodiazepine...today i was talking to someone and they gave me a pill theyve been taking: its white, round, and on one side says PLIVA and below that 395. Well ive been trying to research this pill but i havent got much yet, and i just want to know would it be helpful for me? i mean, whats the difference between a benzodiazepine and a benzatropine? could this pill be used as an alternative to my clonazepam, or should i just toss it away? any info on this that can be given thanks...someone who knows about pharms..

if you take an anti-depressant, i'd like to know if it works for you. what do you take? how did you feel when you first started taking it, and how do you feel now? after almost 8 years on Paxil, i think it might be time to change.

Ok well I am 13. I got in a big fight with two of my friends. They aren't my friends any more. One of them.. Mandi.. She talks to me sometimes so I think she is sorda kinda my friends. IDK. But the other one...Shaq... He won't talk to me at all. He deleted me from his myspace. He made a bet with someone that he wouldn't talk to me for two months. he will NOT talk to me.

Well he wasn't just my friend.. I had a crush on him.. still do. But I think I have become depressed. I cry when I hear a song tht reminds me of him. or i cry when I hear a song tht he liked stuff like tht. Almost every night I dream about him. I cry myself to slepp. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. i think about him 24/7. I go over to his house to hang out with his lil brother.. But I also go there just to see him.
I feel worthless like i wanna die. i almsot killed myself once. and yes he is worth it!!

what are signs of depression? Do you think I have them?

Hey there, so I think I am begining to get OCD, I mean, I have recently gotten into the habit it's like everytime I go to the bathroom, finish eating, get home from school, things like that I HAVE to wash my hands, and sometimes I'll just wash my hands because, I spend at least 5 minutes washing my hands everyday. And I use purell like a maniac. And if I'm at my locker for school, the dial on the lock has ot be at zero when I leave, or it bugs me the whole class if I don't know if it is, I also have gotten into the habit of making sure I do not step on cracks when I am walking in the hallway/outside. Does this sound like OCD to you? Or developing anyways?

Hello , I am a teacher at a school , I teach at a highschool. I had a student the other day, that needed to "talk" to me about something important. She confronted me , and said that she feels shes bulimic. She said it all happened last year under alot of stress. And only one other person knows about this, her bestfriend, who came with her to talk to me. I promised her I wouldn't tell anybody unless she said I could. Shes scared of her mom finding out because her Mom has already threatned her if she ever had something like this she'd be put in a mental hospital. I dont know what to do. Any advice ? You could email me if you'd prefer .. K.Alley123@yahoo.com

Thankyou.

what type of resources would you like to have available for you? what kind of resources helped you the most? i.e. information, help groups... what were some barriers or problems with resources?

sorry if this is a bit of a boring question, i am a health student trying to get some ideas from real people rather than articles written by scientists for a change!

My Dr. just prescribed Lexapro to me. I am wondering how quickly people noticed a difference. I realize that it might take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to feel the difference.
Also how have you dealt with backlash from people who are close to you who do not believe that you should be medicated. I have already exhausted other options with my Dr. before starting Lexapro. My condition was gradually worsening and I saw this as a last resort.

I've finished uni, moved home to my parents with my boyfrined, now i can't see the next step. I've got insomnia and probably depression but i've been brought up to use alternative medicine so i'm not on medication. I used to use cannabis but have now stopped. i'm worried because i'm finding it hard to leave the house and impossible to get a job as my self worth has gone down to zero. My dad has been having fits and i'm worried how i will survive once my parents are gone. I'm 25 and should be able to deal with my own problems but all i seem to do when i cant see an answer is contemplate suicide. I know this is selfish but there would be no more problems. nothing to be unhappy about. part of me feels like this but then the logical side of me thinks i should just be able to snap out of it. Get on the career ladder and shine like the talented person everyone tells me i am. Has this happened to anyone else that smoked weed and then gave up. did you end up feeling worse? to die or not to die
