Mental Health - November 2007

Well, it's 3 O'clock in the afternoon and the sun is going down very fast. It's very dark and I feel so bored.

Why do I hate these days and what are good ways to stop this? I hate this darkness.

Thanks.

He don't want to take his meds because he says he doesn't like the way it makes him feel. It takes away from his joking exciting attitude. I belive he drinks to self-medicate himself. When he drinks too much or the wrong drink he is violent and
get very paranoid. I am pregnant now and I don't want to lose my baby. I want us to be a family but if he doesn't begin to make some changes for his benifit then we won't be able to stay together. Everytime I say something about his drinking and his meds he say I did to look at myself. He also says it's my fault he acts the way he do when he drinks.

Scared to death to see or talk to a psychiatrist or even to call my dr. for a referral. I tried to ask my OBGYN if he could recommend one to me during my annual but clammed up & couldn't. I think I'm most scared of them thinking I'm a drug seeker (which I'm not at all!) I just want help but I am too scared. What should I do???

Im not saying all people but my brother has bi-polar and he has very shaky hands.

Its embarrassing to me because when were out in say a restraunt his hands will shake which makes the table shake and I don't want people to think we are crazy.

He can't get a job because of it either.

I am 18 years old. And in these short years I have been living I can never recall a time that I actually expressed my anger. I am a very nice guy, I do get angry but I never show it. I have never been in a fight when there were times I should have fought, there were times I have been called certain things, but I just kept quiet. I have been done wrong and used by so called friends, but never manned up and said anything about it. I dont even get along with my mother who basically raised me by herself, all we do is fight, I might fuss with her and try to get my point across but all she does is make me angrier, but I never express my true anger towards her. I dont know what to do, and I dont know what will happen if I keep holding things in. Help.

I really don't like this time of year - go to work in the dark, come home in the dark, it's always cold and miserable.

All I want to do is curl up and stay at home and eat lots of stodgy food!

What do you do to make winter more bearable?

I was sleeping. I don't know what sleep stage I was in, but I woke up at 2:34am with anxiety provoking thoughts. I haven't seen my counselor in a month now. Whenever things bother me, I start having stomach problems. My mind can not allow me to fall asleep because it regrets the things that I have said and done today. Today I opened up emotionally in front of a few people and now my mind is saying "What on Earth were you thinking!" It's freaking out and it thinks that it is the only mind in this world going through something like this. Someone calm me down. I talk as if my mind is another person. It has been personified. I feel that my emotions are a big weakness of mind. Can someone argue this and tell me that it is benefit? I'm 21, f

What causes these problems? Gentics or life events?

Mental illness is not like other illnesses in that there is no blood test, there is no sure way to say someone has it or doesn't. The treatment is usually some sort of medicine that doctors say they don't know alot about.

Docs say that the meds for mental illness haven't had enough study time, and taht the results are all muddled up. A personality test just tells you what a person may possibly be like in real life. Can a person be ill because of their unique personality or is it all just a sham? Can anyone here please point to credible scientific evidence that mental illness is real and that psych meds either work or don't? Why do they work, why don't they work?

What are the bio and chemical relationships to everthing in the brain & body?

Why am I so stupid and ugly and fat and horrible? Why does nobody love me? Why do I fail at everything I attempt? Why am I useless and pathetic? Why do I watch people excel and succeed around me while I just sit here in the dirt?

Why doesn't anyone care?

Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel so alone? Why can't I get anything right? Why am I always the odd one out? Why does everyone understand, yet I am in the dark?

God, why was I born like this? Must I live like this? Will I die like this?

My boyfriend is on 1 150mg a day of effexor and 3 250mg of depakote (for depression and bipolar tendencies) they say he has a "chemical imbalance". I think the long term effects of this are going to be bad, especially since no one knows what they will be because effexor has only been around for a couple years. He was slowly taken his own doseing down because he is fine. He wants to go off completely but we need more information. What is a natural alternative to these pills and what are some websites that could give more information??
