Mental Health - November 2007

Is this abuse or harrasment, or nothing?
i'm 15 and sometimes my 19 year old brother comes into my room when i am sleeping and touches my breasts.
He thinks i am asleep but i'm not.

Sometimes when i walk out of by bedroom after getting dressed or walk out of the bathroom after having a shower, i see him running off.
Once i caught him trying to look under the door at me getting dressed. I just pretended that i didn't see him though....

Once he put his phone in the bathroom and recorded me having a shower...
Luckily i found it and deleted it before he looked at it.

I don't know why he is doing this..
We are really good friends, and i don't want to mess up our realtionship by telling him that i know what he is doing..

What should i do?

My doctor prescribed this for me. It is an anti psychotic, but he said it would be a *mood stabilzer* - anyone been on this and how did you feel? Serious answers only please.

I don't want to sound like a whiny teenager...but I need advice. My Great Grandmother just died and it was the first time I ever saw a dead body. I was horrified to see her like that and as a result I have not slept normally in four days.
Also, I am a shy person. This can make me come across as snobby and I have driven off most of my friends. So, I never really have anyone to talk to or anything to do on the weekends anymore.
I really cared about and trusted someone and he betrayed me. He was the only person that made me feel like I mattered, and now he has lost interest in me. I dream about it every night, and I don't know how to get it out of my head.
I'm clinically depressed, so you can imagine how all these things are magnified.
I don't really know what to do. I know this isn't much of a question, but does anyone have any ideas of what to do to stop feeling so alone?

Now I know that there are loads of people on this site that think they have OCD when they don't and I could definitely be one of them, but I'm still wondering.
I do really stupid things like make sure the bathroom mirrors and rugs are aligned perfectly and make sure the toilet's shut--I can't go to bed or leave the house w/o doing this.
I always check to make sure lights are off, the stove is off, etc.
I make sure numerous times that doors are locked--I can't sleep unless I've checked them at least 4 times each.
I do and say certain things a certain number of times--for example, I have to count to 48 before stepping out of the shower or else I think I'll slip and fall (I know, weird).
I have to say certain things to certain people. For example, if I don't say goodnight to someone, something bad will happen to them and I won't see them in the morning.
Finally, my room is rather messy, as I am NOT a clean freak, but I have a tendency to hold onto unnecessary things.
What do I do?Thank

I have had this illness for over 14 years since I "crashed" at work, never to return.

How does one make some family members from the extended family understand its not a matter of "cheering up" and you get better. Like when your dog dies etc?

I am 35 years old, I have no kids, a good job and virtually not too much to worry about. But I always find something. I am so uptight I can not relax and just enjoy life. It interferes with my relationship with my SO because he is a take it as it comes kinda guy. I am a planner and a stressor. I feel that's how I got to where I am today. But how do I sit back and smell the roses?

I've been depressed for about 11 years but only found out 7 months ago. I've been on medication since then and even though I was hesitant to believe a drug would help, it really did. Only my husband knows about my disease. Should I open up to my immediate family so they know what's going on with me and why I was like the way I was growing up? I don't want them to feel sorry for me or treat me differently but I do want them to know that the way i was really wasn't me or my personality.

The two things I enjoy most in life is doing art and trying to do 'good.' I have an M.F.A. in writing and an M.A. in counseling. When I started writing four years ago, I got about 15 short stories/essays published within 2 years (and wrote a lot more). Then I started thnking--all this 'arts' stuff is just a waste of time. I got a job with a social service agency and started working with juvenile delinquency issues, public health, housing, etc., which is really interesting and rewarding. But now I will be working and suddenly I'll get an idea for a story, and my mind starts going into the 'creative zone' and all the endorphins kick in, but I have to push them down to stay focused on my task. And now I haven't written anything creative in two years, and it's like I have a big hole inside me. I've been diagnosed with ADHD by 3 doctors, but when I told them my dilemma, all they could say was to adjust my medication, but I don't see that as an answer. Any advice?

I have been on Clomipramine for six weeks and now I am terminating it because it is unsuccessful. My question is, How long do I have to taper it down before I can completely come off it? I started off on 50mg a day and eventually got the dose up to 200mg. So, in the last week and a half I have dropped to 175,150,125,100,75. I intend to come off it totally in five days. Can I do this safely? Will I have any bad side effects? How long do I have to wait before switching to an SSRI? I've been on Aropax, Luvox, and Zoloft too. No avail. Can some one recommend a drug combination that I could try to reduce my OCD symptoms and depression?

...has got me into a deep funk. It's so incredibly sad and depressing. That little cutie-pie in Texas recently, and now a mom in Georgia took her two little ones into a gas station bathroom and stabbed them to death with a steak knife.

As a father of three girls age 3 and under, stories like this make me feel really horrible all day, I mean - to the point where I have difficulty concentrating. Is the only solution to just stop reading news sites? Or is there something else that can be done?

I worry about chemistry differences. I think because this one girl tried recommending me to go on something that I had already taken once and it made me feel bad. But she swore by it.

Agree or disagree:

The two biggest fears in life are losing what you have and not getting what you want.

If you disagree, what fears do you think they are?

Thanx.
