Mental Health - October 2007

Now that I'm older it seems I forget a lot and it drives me crazy. I seem to mess up on words when I speak. Like I pronounce them wrong or use the wrong word. What are some ways I can keep my memory and thinking fit? I don't want it to turn to mush.

I can't think. I can't think fast (normal). Thinking is very slow, concentration is down, and all wittiness/quickness/sassiness is g-o-n-e. It's like an eternal hangover of the fuzzy mind. Anyone else experience this, and what have your docs said?

I was walking to school when I saw Jessica and I was like hey Honey, what happened to ur arm, I knew what happened I wanted her to say it, She said I cut myself last night, So I told her that I cut myself and that I want her to stoping cutting now b4 she cant stop later, Her parents do know about this, I don't think they r going to help her, I told her to call me anytime, She said she should just leave school now and take a bottle of pills, I told her please don't kill ur self, I love u ur friends love u and we r here 4 u. So she told me she will not take some pills, How can I help her with cutting I feel like I can't tell her to stop cuz I do it myself, We r both 16. Her parents know she cut herself, They really don't care about her tho.

Ok what if you are having sex with a girl for the first time and you stop because it was hurting her?

and when you asked her to do it again, she said no
Then you called her two days later and she says that she doesnt want it to be just that.

What does that mean???

does it mean that she wasnt impressed

After a month on Zoloft I went for a check up and let my doc know I felt 75% better. Then a couple days later I started pms-ing. One of my problems is PMDD, I still had the bad pms. And another problem was getting all freaked out while driving, I still have that from time to time as well. I was wondering if I should call my doc and have my prescription upped or not??? I don't want to mess myself up anymore. My doctor is only a family doctor... so that's why I'm asking for your advice before I call him. Thanks!

I am about to turn 20 but between the ages 10 and 14 i was sexually abused by my step father. my mother never knew or turned a blind eye. He never raped me, but once or twice a week would proceed to give me a "back rub" that would end up in my pants. i never protested, never told anyone who could help, or did anything. i feel ashamed, mostly. my body responed even though i knew it was wrong. does that mean i liked it, therefor it wasnt really abuse? i also feel ashamed that it wasnt me who told, it was my sister. my mother didnt believe us when she found out. she thought it was some ploy to get our father and her back together. i dont really have a question, i would like to see comments or throughts or some sort of connection with other people like me.

We were on a road trip and he just finished eating lots of nutritious snacks, so there was no way that he would be hungry. I had just bought him this big, shiny colorful book filled with all his favorite disney characters. At some point I hear him say to his sister, "I have gum". I turn around and he had bit off th corner binding of the book.. a nice big chunk. Then I remembered a few days prior he was chewing on a piece of velcro that he pulled off of something. This morning I noticed another piece of the book was chewed off.

I looked up PICA on the internet and it doesn't appear to be consistent with that. Has anyone had this experience with their children? If so, please help. I'll take any information I can get. Why would he be doing this?

Can anybody recommend a psychiatrist in Nashville or St. Louis who is a good listener and willing to actively work with his/her patients? Someone experienced with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder would be especially helpful. Thanks!

Over the past year my son and his wife (of almost 20 years) having been having a messy seperation. I would rather not go into details, but I have learned things about her that I wish I hadn't. I've loved her like a daughter and now I can't make myself talk to her even for the sake of the grandkids. Maybe the fact that I still love her is part of the problem. For many reasons I can't avoid contact with her. Even though I am on a daily dose of xanax, I am having serious panic attacks when I see her. They are incapacitating and have to end. Any ideas.

I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I feel blessed to be able to stay home with my kids; however, I often feel a need to work outside the home, because I enjoy spending money. I said enjoyed, but most of the time it's more of a stress relief for me, like eating chocolate or sweets. What can I do...I'm in search of other ways to release the stress of everyday demands from my children?

Being irritated or angry seems to be telling me something I can't see around. Can't see the forest for the trees...
