Mental Health - November 2007

*Re posted*

I was going to therapy for a while but I stopped because I don't think it was helping.
We didn't do anything but talk.
She was a great doctor but the she talked to me like I was 5.

After I left therapy I always felt this sort of high like I was getting better. But the depressed feelings would always come back a day later.

i often feel that someone is watching me or something is behind me. it happeneds alot when im alone or when im about to go to sleep. i know that part is normal but what scares me is that sometimes its so bad i cant move or when im alone i run really fast. i love swimming but i get the feeling something is in the water. i'm soo scared of swimming over sometime big. when i used to go tubing i would be terrified of swimming over a large sunken ship or a large fish.

i have a normal social life, other then i feel like i dont really want to hang out with my friends. i dont hate them i just normally not want to go out.
i've also been having frequent mood swings.
this may not help but about a year ago i was suffering from bulimia and anorexia.

i know its alot and maybe its all normal but maybe its all related?

I have Anxiety and have been taking Celexa for about 4 days, i had a lot of Deja Vu before starting taking the pills...but now it seems it got worse (really worse) , i'm afraid i might go crazy or i'm already crazy. Is this just a symptom of anxiety or something not normal? I've also started getting some nose bleeds (about once a day) since i started taking Celexa. It's really scary and it triggers a panic attack...
Please tell me what you think before telling me to go to the doctor lol.

Or is that only the psychiatrist's duty? I think this is very dumb. My social worker called herself diagnosing my twin sister with mild Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder because of her obsession with women. Well, my twin sister is a lesbian, what do you expect? & she married a loser jerk guy & had 3 kids for him to try to hide her homosexuality, but she just recently came out of the closet.

When I was in NYC, my former case manager tried to consider me Bipolar because he tried everything in his power to make me look bad. Professional doctors don't consider me bipolar at all. I suffer DEPRESSION, but NOT Bipolar. I also have severe OCD, but I'm obsessed with trying to do things correctly, like my academics, & I'm obsessed with cleanliness & I have intrusive, unwanted thoughts. I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder & Tourette's Syndrome, & it's hard for me to do daily activities. I struggle to get out of bed every morning.

People can get exhausted from all the stress in day to day life. Sometimes its important to take a day to sleep and just relax by yourself without any work stress. Even weekends don't help because thats the time to spend with family or go grocery shopping and do errands. Do you think taking a mental health day to regroup by yourself is a acceptable?

Why do i keep getting this feeling that I want to die or that someone else is going to die. Also, why do I feel like I want to be away from my parents all the time, and why do I feel like I need to hug someone, and why does my mom's boyfriend swear at me all the time???????

I'm a 20 y/o college girl. Three years ago my dad died of cancer and liver failure. While he was sick, I would come home from school and spend all afternoon and evening taking care of him and my younger brother because my mother would go out. He couldn't be left alone, so I was basically forced into that role. During the same period, five of my friends tried to kill themselves, one succeeded (Just for the record, this is not normal for my friends, I'd never known anyone in that situation before this). My best friend was one who tried and is now ok.
After my dad died, my mom became emotionally abusive, starting telling me how ashamed she was of me, how everything was my fault, how she'd be happier w/o me, and that I was making up all the stuff about taking care of my dad - she'd left me alone with him once or twice, and that was it. This went on to the point that I believed her and was convinced I was crazy. I told her I was going to move out, she totally exploded at me.

would a person even try it if you KNOW it is highly addictive? I mean, I have an addictive personality and I do get curious and I smoked pot back in "the day" but I'd be scared to even TRY it. Do you know anyone addicted to it? I know a few addicts (one family member)......and these addictions ruin their lives and lives around them. What kind of high is crack too?

I want to be a social worker when i finish my primary degree in May 2008. I think I would be good at it because everybody tells me that I have the personality for it. I love helping people out and it gives me a real sense of satisfaction.
My mum keeps telling me how hard it is. Shes a nurse and tells me ive never met the kind of people that i may be dealing with in the future. Shes right in the sense that i have never met a family ruined by drug abuse or similar. However i went to a talk by a social worker a few weeks ago and what she does (works in the maternity unit in the local hospital with crisis pregnancies and women who may have to put their unborn children into foster care at birth) and I would really like to work in a situation like that.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Is it really as hard as my mum makes out?

im a 20 year old female. I had a messed up family life( parents divorced, almost no contact to my father). I juss wanted to ask if u could give me any advices how to get through this time. Im a verrryyy self conscious girl to the point i analyze what people tell me, i analyze my bodylanguage when i am with ppl, obsess about what i will say, so most of the time i say stupid stuff because i overanalyze everything. Im pretty nervous, and the worst is that i overanalyze all aspects of life, to the point where im only stuck in THINKING about life instead of LIVING it nd actually doing stuff. Im pretty depressed and anxious. I have difficulties with focusing, cuz im occupied with thinking about how ill behave, or what decision ill make next. I decided to change, to become more active, but realizing that this is hard makes me pretty depressed at times. it makes me think that i am the way that i am, and theres no use in trying to change! im working on avoiding such tthoughts. Any motivation???
