Mental Health - November 2007

no matter how many hours i sit and day dream, i never feel bored or tired of it, I just sometimes feel i have to stop it to do something i need to concentrate on...
Is it dangerous to daydream that much?
i just imagine things that have never happened, I sometimes imagine sad things hapeening to me and I cry for myself, something that if i think of logically, im sure it wont happen...
I sometimes think of funny things happening in my future and i laugh loudly,
or I day dream of happy things...
do i have to stop it?...cuz sometimes it makes me feel like im not totally awake...
It happens that sometimes I cant remember if i just imagined something or it really happened to me...but then this happens very rarely...
Do i have to stop it?
could it e a mental disorder?... I dont know whats wrong with me...

do you think other people notice shes unhapy?
like our teachers?
they know shes depressed
do you think when she puts a smile on her face and says shes fine they know shes lying?

the american psychological association used to consider it as a psychological disorder until in 1973 it was pressured by gay activists to declassify it :

An acquintance (sp?) of mine cheated on her boyfriend, so he committed suicide. He had problems, but that's beside the point. Anyways, now she constantly acts as though he is merely on vacation without his cellphone, and she puts up away messages involving his name and how much she loves him, needs him, etc. You know the stereotypical ones, "out with (insert name here) cell good! love you (name here with last letter of the name drawn out.)"

Is that normal? It seems like she's losing it to me.

without enrolling in courses/paying money for anything....how is it possible to control anger, and not let it overtake your whole mind? to ensure one doesn't take out anger on the undeserving, e.g. innocent friends/family members who just happen to be there?

The other day I came home from school to find that the door was locked, when my mum should of been in. I was worried because at the moment she's suffering from mental illness which can make her overly tired or stressed. I rang the home phone many times and her mobile, but there was no reply, I was with my Dad at the time but he had to go out places and said it would be difficult to take me. I walked home and hammered on the door. After 10 minutes my mum came down, opened the door and shouted at me for ages, then told me I was grounded for a week because I woke her. Do you think that's out of order? Or is she right? Help :'(

In all things give thanks for this pleases God.

My Thanksgiving thanks is:

Thank you Lord that even though my husband is sick & I am staying home with him, I can cook the Turkey Thanksgiving dinner myself & have healing time with my husband.

Thank you Lord that I can be with my family back in my home town & my family elsewhere this Thanksgiving in my memories.

Thank you Lord that even though my daughter (in her last month of pregnancy) has to work in the hospital four days/12hr shifts in a row this Thanksgiving, you are going to answer my prayer request that you send sufficient Winged Angel hospital nurses to help all patients & that healing & physical patient ability will improve greatly so all will have much to be thankful for even in the hospital.

Thank you Lord for my husband making the decision (asking for prayers from family for strength) to quit drinking alcohol. That he will he able to quit drinking & liver heal above & beyond all expectations this New Year.

Why is it that when someone has a bad day at work that they come home, grab a tub of Ben & Jerry's, sit themselves on the couch & describe themselves as 'depressed'?

Depression is a serious illness which affects many people. I find it totally offensive that the word depression has become synonymous with unhappiness in everyday conversation. Having known someone who struggled to get out of bed & endured hospitalisation for clinically diagnosed depression, it strikes me as incredibly thoughtless for someone who has experienced one shitty day to use this word to describe their general mood. As far as I know, the DSM-IV does not suggest depression can be developed in the space of one day.

Let's reserve this word for those who actually are affected by this disabling illness & send them our love & support.

We suffered 10 deaths within 2 years, the first 5 within 6 months. It happened along with many, many other traumatic events. I went online last night, due to an unexpected, unshakable depression after my pet suffered a lengthy illness and had to be put to sleep. In the list of causes of depression, I had something major from each area.

I thought I had worked through my grief and pain, but realize it was only shelved. Apparently, I'm still dealing with grief in a magnitude I cannot comprehend, along with unresolved sexual trauma and severe mental abuse. The emotions I have been dealing with have been intense. I find it impossible to untangle all I feel, let alone understand it.

Most seem unable to comprehend the depths of our grief. I prefer self help books rather than dumping on others, but cannot find an area of comparison. I want to move past this to a place of peace. I hope to help others someday, but cannot until I heal myself first. Do you know any books on extreme loss?

I have a very bad--I mean severe-- phobia of loss of control/ dignity. I don't know the actual term, but I just know that I completely lose control of myself when faced with medical procedures because I feel like they can do anything to me even if I say no. I also have bad problems with rape, diet, etc. I need to get my blood drawn soon-- I never have and need to be tested for diabetes-- and last time I tried I ran to the bathroom and stayed locked there until they promised I didn't have to do it. It's embarrassing. Does anyone know exercises or something to do that could help?

I am SO afraid of blood and needles. I've never had my blood drawn from my arm in my life and I am 28 years old! Silly, I know.

Well, the time has come that I need a small procedure to be done. It will involve an IV and I am PETRIFIED. I don't mean little fear- I mean fainting, hysterics, the works. I'm otherwise a very rational person. Very few people know I have this horrible phobia. It's quite embarassing.

Have any of you overcome this specific phobia? How? Please don't write and just tell me to just get over it. Really, I would if I could! I am in counseling to get over it. What techniques or treatments worked for you? Please help!!

Thanks so much and I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!

I am thinking about making an appt with my GP about my 7 year old son because he has some strange habits:
Constantly clearing his throat
constantly sniffing.
I know that he doesnt NEED to do these things, but he has been doing this for about 12 month..it gets worse when he is tired or nervous.
i am probably being silly and paranoid, but i'm starting to think its tourettes...does anyone else have kids with tourettes, and what are your experiances?
