Mental Health - November 2007

I have just started Wellbutrin and been on it for about 10 days. These days have been an excellent change for me, but the day I started my period, I started to get anxious and overwhelmed again. Should I consider this just the PMS (which I can get bad) and expect the Wellbutrin to work once it's over? Or might this be a sign that it's not working anymore?
Thanks

I hallucinated a spider last night. When I saw it, It startled me, and I went to smash it with something, and when I tried to it was still crawling, but it looked like it was gradually fading. I tried to touch it, but I didn't feel anything. Finally, it just faded away, and that's a hallucination, right? It was around when I go to bed but I wasn't exhausted or anything. Is it something I should be worried about?

I am borderline bi-polar and i am being treated with both a antidepressant and a mood stabilizer. I recently lost my insurance, so i cant afford to buy my medicine anymore. I havent taken the stabilizer for a week, but i still have about 10 of the other pills left. I have been very short tempered, and have been having panic attacks.Since i stopped taking them.
Anyway, today I went to class, everything was normal, then i went to the library to watch a film that i missed earlier this week. The lights were dimmed, and i was pretty close to the tv. I suddenly went blind. Completely blind. I stood up, thinking that I was just too close to the tv and my eyes just needed to adjust, but i couldnt see anything. I started freaking out, I didnt know what was going on. It lasted for about 15 minutes.
If anybody knows if this could possibly be a side effect from not taking my medicine.

I's a single mother of two. I work 45mins away, I do 40 week. I have 2 1/2 hours with my kids in the week to make dinner, do homework, bath them and put them to bed by 8.
Then it's time to pick up the house, do dishes, maybe watch a little TV before I go to bed.
The weekends consist of entertaining the kids and the weekends I don't have the kids it's time to mow the yard, do laundry, grocery shopping.........etc
I want to date, go to school, workout at the gym, have grownup fun (don't be dirty).........
How do people do this on a regular basis and still smile?
I have no family in the US, I don't have time for friends or a life.
I know what I'm doing is important to my children and I love them very much, is it too much to ask for a little somthing pf my own, for me once in a while?

Anyone taken it? I am on it now for depression and anxiety - worrying uncontrollably. Anyone have symptoms similar? Did lexapro help with this problem? How long did it take? What is your life like now?

P.S. I just wanted an idea of people's personal experiences with the medicine.. (don't need to address the questions but I would like some input if anyone has any)

I met this young couple on the streets, in Fl, while traveling. Neither one seemed able to survive homless. I asked them the situation and both of them tired of people trying to run their lives. The catch is this. They don't belong homeless, and why refuse help when it's around the corner? I know having your life planned out for you isn't the best, but, WHY BE HOMELESS INSTEAD?

im a 30 year old borderline personality disorder sufferer...i live alone...im very lonely...have low self esteem...because of my problems...ive never made any friends ever.....never been in a relationship, ever.....ive never been employed.

ive had the internet since 2005 which had connected me really to people and the outside word. unfortunatly, because of the way iam, most people have come and left.....than come and remained friends.....im clingy...needy...get reliant...want intimacy early, coupled with the very low self esteem....always frightens people away from me.
along with other symptoms...i have irrational thoughts ive had for along time....ive recently been rejected by internet friends that id known for months...from the states.

& im thinking its because '' people are having negative information fed to them about me & are being influenced to stay away, not help, befriend or get involved ''

having this thought is making me angry & depressed..but i can find no other

I have social anxiety and I'm about to go to therapy in a few hours for the first time ever. Can't I just get a self help book? I mean sure I'll go today but I don't think I'll be able to go again. Wouldn't a self help book and being more out-going work just as well as embarrassing myself..er I mean spilling all my fears to a therapist? I mean in the end I'll be depending on myself to fix my problems so really seeing a therapist is pointless, right??
I'm really scared about going :[

I am 27. I moved out a year ago but had to move out because i couldnt afford it anymore due to the reason that i broke my ankle and leg PLUS i am changing my seizure meds (so i am on unpaid medical leave). i am stuck at home. both my parents have been alcoholics my whole life where my mother was emotionally and physically abusive. she almost died last year resulting in her finally getting sober. my has been cheating on her and still is because she has burned bridges with many people over the years including him. (i'm not making excuses for him though). stuck at the house and physically not being able to drive has made me stir crazy while they fight and my memories of my childhood (which i thought i got over when i moved out) have been haunting me while they want to kill each other... i am seeing therapist b/c my neurologist suggested it. should i be over it or should i just try not to cry and stay in my room all day. be honest please. any therapists or professionals or COA's?

I've been married only 5 months and we have lost our home (apartment) due to mold, our landlord wont give back security and we are now living with my parents and have NO money (I work full time so does he). I'm exhausted, stressed, crying everyday, my entire body hurts so bad I can barely move a muscle. My face feels "tingly" I really feel like I'm going to die (kind of wish I would too). I feel like I need to take time off work, like a month or so just to save my own life. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. My husband said he wants to divorce me because things aren't working out and we can never be alone. I can't go on anymore and I have no where to call home and no where to turn and no energy left. Please help, I don't know what to do.

I just took a test for my major yesterday and I am confident that I failed it. This class is taught once a quarter and is required for the major. On top of that, it may bring my GPA down to a level where I lose my scholarships.

I've looked at the positive and negative outcomes and I believe that suicide may be a viable solution to my coming problems. Any advice?

I've got a new job starting in December and am worried that they will ask me to do stuff i can't do, even though they liked me in the interview and i was honest and open about my skills. I'm worried about my dog because she is going through an adolescent stage but it coincides with my boyfriend not being able to spend as much time with her, taking him out to work with him, like he normally does, for a few weeks because he's working away, so she's spending more time on her own than usual, which i worry about - she's digging and chewing more. I worry about never having children, I'm nearly 37 and it just hasn't happened. I worry about getting old and not having any money to look after myself in my old age, I worry about wasting my life in this rat race and having to go somewhere every day and wasting my time doing something i have to do, to get money, not what i want to do. Life is so short I want it to be fun, I want to be able to spend my time doing what I want to do.
