Mental Health - November 2007

I have reached a point where I don't know what to do. I suffer from lots of mental problems and take 14 different medications daily to maintain balance. Today they don't feel like they are helping. I have never been committed and only have been seen as an out patient.

What I suffer from is PTSD, bipolar disorder, extreme depression, sleep deperation, nightmares, daymares, afraid of the dark, afraid of the light, afraid of being alone, agoraphobia, sleep apnea, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, racing thoughts, short term memory loss, confusion, and lack of consentration.

I feel very tired most of the time. I never think of sucide, I feel that that is a cowards way out and I have never been a coward. I feel like I am swimming upstream in a river of molasses. I know this will pass, but I feel like it never will. I have a lot of support from my wife, daughters, close friends, my group therapy, and my phsyiologist. Today there was no trigger, I feel like I am all alone in the world.

I feel broken down, worthless. No joy, wishing for something to fill the void inside. I am lonely. My life is passing before me and I am just a bystander. I am just going through the motions. I need help....

seriously...its like i dont have the option to choose what i want, to choose the life i want.

nothing i want has ever come true, and my unsupportive family who impose upon me and who throw the blame on me and have suppressed and controlled me all my life, they tell me to take each day...stay where iam in the uk...make the best of things.

and for me thats not good enough. my dreams are and what ive always wanted is to :
choose my friends....to emigrate far from the uk, to the usa or canada...build a new life ( choose) a loving partner, a secure home...get a good job...have a life, have friends.

ive missed out & none of this as ever happened, i live on welfare in a one bedroom flat, never been employed, never gained qualifications, never been in a relationship, never made any friends.

im 30 & have borderline personality disorder..i dont have anyone, im extremely lonely...i want to go my own way...move from the uk...build my own life elsewhere

My main problem is that I'm ugly, no one in this world loves me. Everyone is mean to me including my own family), people treat me differently and avoid looking at me, I really don't feel anything toward life...no joy, no dreams just sadness.
No matter what I do it doesn't matter, I always feel less than everybody else.

I really want to kill myself but I just can't,I'm to scared to do it.what should I do?:(

I recently quit smoking after having smoked for 22 years. I really want both my brother and husband to quit so that they will not suffer the way several family members did until finally dying. I personally watched my grandmother and father-in-law die of lung cancer. Neither of them went quickly either. My grandmother took about eight years and my father-in-law about six years. It was years of watching their therapy that really broke my heart. But despite all this, I hated when the non-smokers in my family gave me any grief about smoking. One day I woke up and was finally ready to quit. I hope my brother and husband will do the same. However we are all getting up there in age and that possibility is getting more bleak. I don't want to preach to them, but I also can't stand the thought of watching another loved one die in such a manner. Someone please help...I'm so torn.

people are working more and more hours to make sure that they keep their job these day and so companies can profit from fewer people doing more work

many people who work stressfull long hours can suffer from some type of depresssion, which can ultimately cause death from suicide

should bosses be held criminally responsible for these deaths if these people didnt want to work all these extra hours but were forced to so they wouldnt lose their job?

i feel tainted and branded in life because of my situation and circumstances...i feel tarnished and labelled, like people are staying away from me.....are being told to not get involved, are being told they cant help me.......
also because of the bpd i feel im stigmatized now.
ive never made friends in life or ever had a relationship....my main connection to the outside world is the ' internet '.
ive made 1 or 2 friends, but most ive met on myspace or yahoo answers reject and abandon me...or seem to lose interest in me.
i feel that is because i have a negative stigma attached to me..or their being told they ' cant' help me or ' cant ' get involved..& there obeying these commands.

im lonely, live alone in a one bedroom apartment & i feel ostracized like everyones staying away.

This woman in afflicted with schizophrenia and a bit of bipolar disorder as well. Is she regressing when she uses these devices to cope with illness? Other than that,she seems ok. She seems embarrassed, so should she stop doing this even though the meds are not enough to calm her tortured mind?

It's been like this for a few months.

I can't have a decent conversation with anybody.
I don't really like to hang out with friends anymore.
I hate it when ppl ask me questions about my life.
Since I'm not really hanging out with my friends, I've been starting to lose them.
I've lost weight and lost apetite.
I'm at home on the computer all day, isolated from everything.
I don't enjoy video games anymore, or socializing.
Whenever I talk to someone, it always ends 5 seconds later with an awkward silence.
I feel empty inside like nothing is inside.
nobody at school is funny. When someone does something funny, the whole class laughs, but I don't.
I don't remember the last time I was happy.
Nothing makes me happy anymore.
I pretend to be happy and put on a fake "mask" when I am around people.
Living seems pointless.

I asked my mom to bring me to the doctor about it but she just she said it's not bad enough. I just don't act the way I feel around her.

in school i was always made fun of for being the "jew," at my dad's i was constantly rideculed and yelled at, making for a very bad situation. i can remember times i wasn't picked for sports until last just because they din't think I would be good. Now in college, I have very low self esteem. I got involved with the wrong crowd in high school, and did poorly in school as well, getting me into a very crummy college I am currently unhappy at. What should I do? I lack motivation, but I am doing much better in school, thankfully. I want to exercise, but never get around to it, I'd rather sit around.

Can someone tell me why Melatonin gives vivid dreaming?
I'd like to know the technical/scientific reasoning behind it.

Also, why does people say Melatonin can "cure" depression, but it is also advised not to take if you have depression (oxymoron)

If you have any extra info it'll be appreciated!

when the semester started, I was feeling very confident and really into studying. Now suddenly, I was hit by a severe case of PMS and prolonged back pains which may have been nothing but just all in my head. My grandfather died three weeks ago and I have a hard time helping my grandmother grieve. I've dealt with a baby shower, two birthdays in the last month, and this year hasn't been well for me. I'm working hard on a petition and do not feel successful, lost 3 grandfathers, several allergies and colds this year, quit my job I hated so I can go back to college and had to drop one class because I knew I would not be able to pass it. Now I have a doctor's appt I'm nervous about and just now finding out I need to make an appt for something personal. I wanted the house to myself but now my father doesn't want to go on vacation. I no longer have any motivation for college but I do not want to drop out which I did twice. How do I pull myself together so I can finish college?
