Mental Health - October 2007

I have been cursed since birth. My biological mother was 11 yrs old when I was born and I was given up for adoption. I was raised in a family that was very intelligent but very abusive. I was raised in a all white town in Wi and being mixed it was impossible to make it, but I did. My life has been nothing but let downs and nothingless. The last 2 yrs I have lost my home, business, friends, family all due to the curse and severe depression. I can fight it with meds somedays but not now. I believe God has forsaken me at birth because there is so more to tell. I'm literally almost pennyless, jobless, and alone and suicidal.No one wants to help when I try to reach out. Being dead sounds so good some days but that is no the ultimate answer, so I hurt myself a lot and it the thoughts go away sometimes. I pray and ask God for help and I get nothing everytime.There is no answer except pain and suffering. there is no use for me in this life. I want to go away and be alone and succumb to it.

Are you all lost in some kind of existential paradise?
Are you just beating yourself up?
What is it you want to do and what is it you want out of life?
Are you going to sit around and ask a bunch of anonymous online confidentes what to do or are you going to make some changes in your life?
The real question is does anyone else on Yahoo Answers feel like they are wasting they're breath and that their experience means nothing to those that you answer?

ok when i am really mad or frustrated, because of family, friends, school, whatever, i sleep. I dont run for the razor, or call my best friend to ball my eyes out and complain. i simply fall asleep.
when i wake up i feel better and i have a clear head to think about what happened. I have always found that this is the best way to solve problems.... since like....the first grade.
Recently a friend told me that sleeping when you are angry is a sign of depression, and is not healthy for your being emotionaly.... I do this at least 3 times a month...
am i depressed?

for the record: im a very happy person, i have no thoughts of death by my part. I have lots of friends, and i only feel down when something reasonable happens (i.e. loose a friend over fights, pet dies...etc.). i just think this is a great way to deal with stuff

bottom line: Can this potentially hurt me in the long run? or can i keep on sleeping?

She takes depakote and ambian for sleep. She does become groggy but won't fall asleep. She almost seems like she gets aggitated and losses patience then ends up sleeping in my room on our reclyner. Any one with any suggestions please!

I have diagnosed MYSELF with depression. Its not a suicidal depression, its just like, sad and pessimistic all the time. i push most friends away and i just put on a happy smile so people assume everything is dandy with my life. i work 2 jobs and go to school to escape depression, and it works, but when i come home, i feel this sadness, dark cloud, feeling. theres no major problems at home either. i have had this feeling off and on for about 2 years now. i have always been against anti depressants but there just comes a point where im tried of fighting. i really dont want to see a dr unless i really have too. i dont like disclosing my personal information to people. i dont mind posting on here because i will never talk to any of you prob ever again...

i sleep paralysis a few times in my life but the last time i had it, it was pitch black, and i felt like something evil was watching me over my bed/ i couldnt even move a finger and it completely freaked me out!

plus when my sister was little and a little clairvoyant, she said she saw someone in our backyard in all white slowing pacing back and forth and looked like she was praying. me and my family KNOW she wasnt just making that up. she's an un-innocent teen now and she isnt seeing anything anymore.

and a few weeks ago, i was all alone with just me and my 2 dogs, it was about 3 or 4 in the morning and i hear this LOUD, deep, sad sigh by a female in the next room or backyard. there wasnt anyone there and it was too dark in the backyard to see anything. my neighbors dont have that tone of voice. i know i wasnt making it up cuz my dogs barked when they heard it.

ever since then, i've been sleeping with a dim light on. this is STUPID i know. what do i do to get over this?

It says it is an antihistamine...that confuses me. It doesn't really sound like anything worth my time and it works like Benadryl? That's stupid. Just concerned.

I started cutting myself in the summer.
The first time I cut myself was in the palm of my hand- and I only cut it once. It took my mind off of the crap that was going on around me.
So everytime I was angry or upset or depressed, I would go to my room and cut the palm of my hand.
I began cutting my palm until it was raw, and started cutting my wrists.
My mom saw my cuts three weeks ago and totally freaked.
I promised her I would never do it again.
I stayed clear from cutting myself for about a week and I nearly went insane.
So finally one random night I went crazy...
I had this feeling like I HAD to do it.
I was worried that my parents would see my cuts if I cut my hand or wrist, so I cut my stomach...(sounds sooo cheesy, I know...)
I have more then 100 cuts on my stomach, along with the word "Help" and "Hate".
Please don't tell me to stop, because I can't. Like I said- I already tried.
I don't know what's going to happen if they see it.
Can you please help me?!

I'm depressed and my friends won't talk to me .
Everything/everyone is agrivating me and driving me insane! I can't relax or get a decent amount of sleep anymore.

I find myself angry for no reason all the time, and my only good friend who listens to me understands me...

I've told him about what triggered the depression - a breakup that happened ages ago - I'm still kind of friends with him (although i sometimes feel he isnt aware of my excistance) I still love him madly, and have made attempts to get him back - but no luck..hes the only one i ever loved
I'd like to move on, but nobody I meet compare to him :'(

How can i overcome all of these feelings??

does this fit the bill?A woman said something unfavorable about him,he responds by berating her in public,driving her out of a public facility a couple times,asking if she is wanting to get shot at(for being in the wrong area)only sarcastically.Earning her trust and then playing mind games with her,forcefully asking her things she doesn't want to reveal(like her age)spitting on the sidewalk when she is outside ..

I'm 15 (16 in Dec), female and already have a working career.
In Years 4-6 I got bullied mentally at school and when I moved to secondry school, I thought things would change. Years 8-10 I got bullied mentally. I just don't understand what it is. I mean, Year 10 got more personal for me as it was my two best friends who were doing it and they didn't even know. Year 11, (year I'm in now) is just going to be another one of them years.
* In school i always feel alone even though I'm surrounded by friends.
* I'm hurt by some of the simplest things
* I thought about suicide when I was in Yr9
* I cry alot

But what I don't get is that everything outside school is so perfect. I've got the most wonderful boyfriend. The most supportive family. I've got a bright future within my career. My family is well supported as in cash wise. I'm also happy with my looks and personality.
Serious answers only please. Do I need some sort of help? If so, what?

I was diagnosed bipolar a couple of years ago, and was quite stable on meds. Quit taking meds around 4 months ago "because I was fine." Went well for awhile, and now it's not going so well. I am a therapist, and that part of me knows that I need to be on meds, but just can't make myself stay on them! I'm still "functioning" in the sense that I am getting up for work and doing fine at it, but I can feel myself losing control. I keep trying to make myself make an apt, but end up not going or avoiding it somehow. Any advice? Anyone able to function without meds??
