Mental Health - October 2007

Ok so yesterday a guyfrnd came over and I met him not far away from my house. I met him at a place where all our neighbours could see us (so it wasn't like we could do anything wrong). Anyways my mom yelled me infront of him and I now I feel like I'm rly LOSING IT.
I was nvr so humiliated before. My mom treats me like a little girl and I feel as if I'm literally going crazy. She always wants to control me (I'm 18). She always talks to me like I have to be controlled (I'm not even the ''wild type'')

I went to the library today with swollen eyes of crying. And I'm about to go to school with swollen eyes again WITHOUT caring what ppl might say or think.

So my question is : IS IT RLY POSSIBLE TO START LOSING YOUR MIND AFTER GETTING MENTALLY TORTURED?

I have PTSD and I rarely have attacks unless there's a trigger. What are good strategies to cope?
No input from Ryan please, he obviously has no clue what it is and his psychologist misdiagnosed him. Would you like to have images before your eyes that have already happened? And then you can make fun of people.

Dont get me wrong. I don't blame anyone for the way I have turned out. In fact, I just found myself to be unfortunate in this category. Its not like I am dissatisfied with myself or hating the world. I was born to a chinese family where emotions such as affection were not really shown. I did not really develop bond with people (with parents I was sent to the states to study at early age so i dont have that connection, with friends I was often backstabbed and socially withdrew)

Although I am in college, I find myself to better atleast. Being able to socialize and have friends. I do notice however that I am very laid back and calm. I never complain or stress out about anything. I am always in a neutral state of mind, dont quite often daydream and takes me no time to fall asleep

I have come to realize recently after talking things w/ my gf (not being able to express love) that I have been living life emotionally withdrawn. I feel emotions but describing them is like impossible to me

im 30 i have borderline personality disorder, ptsd reall bad to...............my thoughts race daily where i can't think strait or concentrate, cant hold onto a thought....cant hold my train of thought....i keep forgetting.....this happens every single day.
i find it very distressing.

this has gotten better, i control it great, but still have all the underlying feelings.
my panic and anxiety so bad i dont leave my apartment unless i have to...i avoid public spaces.....i have been attacked by street gangs, when i used to have rage attacks, so this is why i think.

I had one hypomanic episode that lasted one day after two days of not sleeping (I went back to my depressive mood once my doctor told me I might be bipolar) It was brought on a few days after I smoked weed. This happened after a period of generalized anxiety disorder and depression. I immediately went on xanax and went back to normal. Does one manic episode mean bipolar definitely? Also do I have to stay away from antidepressants because of one short episode?

even as im writing this , im feeling like i need to get up and do something . Im worried this may be serious . I cant sit still some times and i cant keep my mind on one thing . Like when i try to help my son with his homework , i really cant . Not because i dont want to , but because i cant think about one topic at a time . Its gotten worse as ive gotten older . I also cant watch tv without turning the tv up or down every minute or so ....

I also laugh for no reason sometimes . For example , my uncle died a few months ago and i went to his funeral . Well he was a nice guy and everything and i was sad that hes gone . But while the pastor was talking , i couldnt stop lauging because of the way he was talking . And i didnt want to laugh at all , but i just kept laughing and laughing , oh it was horrible ....Please is there something wrong with me .

I've always been kind of a shy person and I only need a few friends, plus I put all my energy into a couple of close friendships at a time, but lately one of my friends has been ticking me off a lot. I guess it might or might not pass over but I know it would be healthy for me to spend more time with other friends. I have a lot of friendly aquaintances but it's hard for me to know how to let people know I'd like to get together more. Sometimes I try a bit but a lot of people don't seem to have time and then I get frustrated and give up. Some people might think I'm boring because I never drink and I'm sort of brainy and nerdy, but I'm really a good listener. Often I want to hang around people who are a lot older but I think they make assumptions about me because of my age.

I have Tardive Dyskinesia and I'd like to know how others cope with it. I usually take Xanax to relieve the stress of TD, I brush my teeth too..may seem weird, but it calms me down.

If you don't know what what Tardive Dyskinesia is, please do not offer an answer. It's a neurological syndrome caused by the long-term use of neuroleptic drugs or anti-psychotic meds. In my case, it was the use of Abilify for three years. Right now there is no standard treatment for tardive dyskinesia.

So, if you suffer from this side effect, how do you cope with it?

My boyfriend of 3 and a half years left me for another girl. It was my fault because I suggested it but now that he's actually moved on it's killing me. I just sugggested a break for both of our own good but now he's falling in love with this girl.
Ever since he told me this my stomach's been really upset, I feel like I'm going to puke and I have diahrrea. I haven't really eaten anything in about three days or slept good. Is this all normal? What do you think?
Please don't be mean either, I know it's my fault.

I'm a cutter. I have been in a relationship with someone who got me to finally put the kinfe down... but I recently started up again and told him so (he's 600 miles away for another year for school)... he's pissed cos I told him several months ago I wouldn't do it but I had lost touch with reality one night recently when I couldn't reach him (he was at work and couldn't have his phone on him so he couldn't get back to me in what I thought was due time). I'm terrified if I lose him he'll find someone right away and will never want to be with me again. I'm scared I'll never find anyone else. He can't handle my jealousy or self injury, and I said I'd change... its only been two days though. What can I do??? I want this relationship!!!
