Mental Health - November 2007

Her name: Khemani
DOB: 16 Jul 1992
TOB: 1 AM

Since 1 year she is behaving very violently with every one at home.
The moment she entered in college, she became bad, because of her friend circle. She stole the things, lie so much, some times stay out in night, talk to us in abusive words, hit all of us, cuts her wrist, some times become nude in front of even parents and society.

Her anger is very bad. We came to know she is having affair. But scared that boy, but she ultimately troubled us. We don't want to go to police. We talked to mental health professional, he said she is suffering from antisocial and hysteric disorder, but she doesn't take medicine.

Please tell me why it is happening.
Give me some solution.
She thinks we are enemy every time demand for money. I am the only person to earn. My father company got closed. She is doing very badly with us. Help.

she had been diagnosed since 2002. we lived together,everything was good for a lil while but then i would wake up at night to her crying and talking to her mom but i couldnt understand spanish, she would never really sleep, i hardly got any sleep. she would end up yelling at her mom and storm out the door in the middle of the night and i would go after her and she would cry and scream like she was in torture. she would also try to strangle her mom, she would threaten and manipulate me,she would talk so fast about anything she was never tired, full of energy sometimes when she would argue with her mom she would scream and start taking her clothes off. always wanted to go to the hospital, sometimes she refused to take meds, complain of racing thoughts and suicide. always wanted space, she even acted so weird like a lil child and played in the mud, she would write stuff all over the doors.it was like she was out of her mind,is she more than bipolar? what else can she be? she is only 24

I am trying to start a business. I tried to leave some information about my business at the office where I see my psychiatrist. He told me not to leave any information because it is a office of "sick" people. I know for a fact there are many individuals who are Bipolar who hold down professional jobs. Can anyone respond to this?

Three years ago I had a tragic accident because of a drunk driver. He ran a red light and was speeding at a high rate and under the influence at 8:30 in the morning. I recovered from the injuries and it took a year. The incident happened while I was at work. After recovery I was not allowed back at work which was a major disappointment. I was devastated by this. I had to start my life over at fifty years of age. Before the accident I was a mellow individual. I am no longer mellow and I do not want to be close with anyone accept my beloved pet. Any suggestions. I think you have to realize I have come close to losing everything I own. I feel resentful and I do not trust anyone anymore. I was a very gullable and trusting person before this incident. Please comment!

I want to get help for myself. I am off of work tomorrow and want to call this therapy center my doctor referred me to months ago but I never called.

I am nervous about this and nervous about what people will think of me. I almost prefer to suffer and be "strong" then to admit defeat in a sense and have everyone worrying about me.

If I do this I know a lot of my issues will probably be made known to my family (cutting, drug use, etc) I don't wanna deal with that, but if I don't do something they will just know anyway.

Things have been "better" lately, I know that underneath things aren't really alright but at least I can feign being in a good mood lately and I'm not pulling my hair out with anxiety and other thoughts. It would be easy for me to blow this off, and I know I probably will.

Please some advice, I know a couple of you have been following my questions.

I just feel alone in all this anymore, the friends I turned to now all seem fake and uncaring, maybe its just me, idk...

So my aunt finally convinced me to make an appt with a psychiatrist. She said severe mood swings/attn deficiency (failing in school after being straight A student), etc, may need to be checked out. I made the appt...and after the initial phone interview he asked me if anyone ever told me I'm bipolar, which I said no. I haven't seen him yet, but I'm not sure if I should. Do you think it'll help me/should I go? If he gives me a wrong diagnosis for whatever reason the medicine wont hurt me right (bipolar meds? I know i have mood swings but I don't know how severe they have to be for meds.)

I have been diagnosied with PTSD and Major Depression and a couple of other things but those two seem to be the most common. I have been having some syptoms that I am not sure about. I get really paranoid. At times I think people are talking about me but are talking in "code" to try to confuss me so I can't really confront them in talking about me or so I wont know. At times I think that everyone is out to get me and are all teaming up against me but pretend to be my friend. At times I think people are goingf to kill me in my sleep. At times I think that there are camera's everywhere and people are watching me. I get so freaked out that I ca't even sleep. I know how crazy and dumb this sounds but I can't get past it. It seems to be getting worse. I don't feel like this all the time and sometimes are more sever than others. I have experminted with drugs in the past but not a ton and not in awhile. I am 21. What could this be? I really don't think I am syopphranic...

I ask bc/I swear I have everything, diagnosed by psychiatrists and self-diagnosed. I have been told I have bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, anxiety (umm axis 2 or whatever), and bulimia. And as for what I say I also have is insomnia (thats just never been put on paper), ADD (on Strattera for it), and maybe schizo features (term from what I gather from psych 100 college class? Have had voices since jr high but I don't want to go on meds for it again, nor do I ever wish to discuss it w/anyone ever again. So I deny it)? When I think about all that I just wonder if I'm just really crazy, cause I'm usually high functioning (aside from some hospitalizations), or if its all just a part of one problem. Any thoughts? cause I'm really feeling like a complete weirdo here. Or is anyone else in a similar situation?

Does anyone take Effexor for depression?? I was recently put on it and I was looking some stuff up on google about it and I came across an "Effexor Petition". According to the thing I read, people are experiencing severe side effects from it.

I'm just wondering if anyone is having any problems like that with it????

What do you do when you are lonely?
all of my friends have boyfriends except me
At first it didn't bother me but now I'm really feeling the sting of loneliness and I don't like it.
I don't really want a boyfriend at the moment because I have gotten hurt very deeply by this guy I used to talk to not too long ago
I am still hurting but at the same time i wish I had someone to talk to...

Lately, I have been thinking a lot. I think I may have depression, or something along those lines. I have had this feeling of guilt and sadness, and it never goes away. I have been getting irritable with my boyfriend so easily, and then a few minutes later I regret it and act all sweet. I have been thinking about comiting suicide, and yea, I do feel worthless sometimes. One of my friends gave me a massage today and said I felt really stressed and stiff. I don't know if I even have anything. I don't want to go to a docter because I don't like talking conselors and people like that. Any advice?
I'm so confused.

I think I may have a mild case of it, because when I get too stressed, it triggers a decent little verbal outburst that genuinely relieves the tension! Just curious.....anybody else got the same thing goin' on out there?

well, i really do find doing anything a chore. I am one of 9 of the friends I hang out with that has never had a BF or been on a date. I am lucky i have any friends at all. I am super lazy lately. I have been more negative than usual. I am crying so much, and i am mad a lot. I am miserable at home, and dread the next day. I am doing more risky and dangerous things because I think "hey what the hell, what could happen?" what is going on? why do i feel like this? how do i make it better? I really want a hug, but no one gets it...

As I said in my other questions, I am suffering from depression. To refresh your memory, I will explain it again.
I scartch my shoulder and back really hard so it bleeds. Im normally not really bad... but lately, I have been doing it a lot. I scratched it to the point of bleeding four times this week. And I did it a few minor scratches every day. What are some suggestions for dealing with this?
I probably should add that most of the time I do it because I am realllyyy angry and I have to hurt something. Or I need to punish myself, I guess. Or I am just really depressed.
So how do I deal with this? What should I do?

All my life I have suffered from severe social anxiety, I can't walk down the street without a panic attack. I've been managing to go to college and work by drinking a few bottles of wine a day at least and then going to the pub afterwards.

I can't give up drinking how will I function? I am willing to get therapy for my anxiety but what if it's too late, I can't stop drinking right now because I'll just sit in the house and not be able to turn up to class.

At 21 i got pregnant with my 1st child and sadly was left to be a single mum living at home. Got myself sorted tho and met a really nice bloke (who is now my husband). We then had 2 daughters together 1 of which i suffered really bad Post Natal Depression after, and the other, well she nearly died when only a few days old. I have also moved twice in the last year, got married, had my beloved doggie put to sleep and have my husbands daughter of 13 come to live with us permently.
All this I feel is beginning to get me down and depressed (apart from getting married of cause)
My question is - Is this alot to go through in such a short amount of time? And if so what should i do to make myself feel better?
Reason why im asking is cos my doc wants me to see someone and i'd like something to go on.
Many thanks for your answers

A friend of mine has huntingtons disiese, her husband went to go get her a perscription called seroquel. When he got there the pharmisist said he could no longer get the amount perscribed, because the insurance company would not cover it. They already pay 50 for each perscription, my friend takes 16 differant pills, just so she can manage. And even then her life is so troubled. Everyday things such as a shower bring her to tears, and seroquel helps relaxe her. Now they want them to pay another $50 so they can take one pill and split is up.

So he called the insurance company and they told him it was NOT them but the government who has stopped this. Seroquel is a controlled substance and the government is cracking down on how much is giving out, so to control it they are making people who don't have much money pay another co-pay to hinder them from selling it on the street.

Here's a thought if someone was selling drugs on the street they would have the freaking money to pay

I dont really feel. On the outside im happy, but inside...theres nothing. Im not depressed, or empty. Its just a general feeling of apathy that never goes away.
And I dont know how to make myself feel anything. I feel hints of emotions, like im a little bit fustrated...but after a few seconds, it just goes away. But i dont know...obviously i care enough to be writing this.
whats wrong with me? why am i so emotionless? There is no hidden trauma in my life im running away from. No horrible stress. No nothing that should make me act wierdly, and yet i dotn even remember what feeling happy or sad feels like.

I have been on Effexor XR since early July 07. I have had no problems until recently. A month ago my doctor increased my dosage to 225mg/day. For the last week I have been experiencing what I can only describe as "zaps" to my brain. They are increasing in frequency and I am starting to feel like I am in a haze all the time. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you deal with it?
