Mental Health - November 2007

Sometimes I feel really depressed&suicideal, other times I can be really happy. I dont know what to do. I'm 12 years old, and I don't know how to tell my parents. I have already tried to commit suicide, failing of course. My dad is kind of abusive, thats really the main reason why I have tried to commit suicide. My mom and sister say he isnt abusive, what do you guys think? He pulls my hair, one time hit me with a branch, calls me fat, tells me I'm an obnocios jerk&a brat, laughs at me when I cry, and tells me I'm stupid. I dont know what to do. I'm scared of him, and I havent talked to him in a month. What do I do?

Well i do change moods at least 3-4 times a day. They dont seem to be extreme tho, like tearing up a room. Sometimes small things like thinking about dinner make me happy and i get hyper and jittery.Then i can get anger form small things to and sometimes i just pound the wall for no reason at all. Im always irratible, like i snap out at my mom when she asks me even simple yes or no questions and usually lie when i answerer, idk why its not like telling the truth to the questions would get me in trouble. I often go from being motivated and orginaized to saying F**** life and not give a S*** about anything. Friends often say there afraid to mess with me because when i get angry they dont know what ill do and most of my friends are double my size. I just got fired they said i had a bad attitude, but i think it was the job most of the mangers were ****** anyways. I know bipolar is genetic and my dad seems to be similar but has never said he was bipolar. Im 16 its not puberty.

I have no reason to go on. Apparently I'm anorexic, I have OCD, I slit my wrists and my family doesn't like me. I'm also a hypocrite, I'm coming on here and helping people with their own problems, which are almost exactly the same as mine, but I can't seem to find the purpose in myself.

The one place where I felt safe, which is where I work, is now changed. I feel like I've been pushed aside and they no longer care about what happens to me. I don't mean to sound greedy, I don't need them to care 24/7, but when I talk to them about this stuff, it's like they don't even care.

My friends are all turning their backs on me, but why should I blame them? Who am I? No one.

my doc put me on both of these meds 2 weeks ago. He told me to call him in 2 weeks (now) if they weren't working. I have read (and I actually used to be a pharmacy tech.) that these types of meds take 4 weeks to get in your system. I guess my question is, I'm not feeling any better, the depression is still here. Should I give it another 2 weeks to get in my system or call him now? Thanks.

Im 5'3 and 109lbs but i look like alot more. For 4 days I was eating about 500-600 calories a day because I really wanted to lose weight. Today I couldn't take it anymore and I ate alot. Now I feel soooooooo fat. What is wrong with me? Why do I look so fat? Im really scared of gaining weight. The other day at the mall every person I saw was so skinny! Like everywhere I go theres like 10 people way skinnier than me! Omg I hate my life! Why do I have to be so fat? I think about it every single day and I hate it!

To feel normal/stable but only just having to cut yourself from time to time to calm my nerves a bit and stop from feeling so very down.

I usually feel okay, just certain times when things get a bit too much I have to do something to make it pass and not every time but a lot of the times I cut. I feel better than I have in a long time. Sometimes I get some serious mood swings at work (maybe only once maybe twice a week tops) like extremely energetic to very depressed in approx two hours.

I feel normal/stable most of the time, just some times not so much but just 2-4 cuts usually make it better. Is it okay to be like this?

I am in my senior year of college and have worked hard to earn As and Bs and the respect of my teachers. But it's back...and it's not kidding around. It started as a slight lack of motivation, unease, and unhappiness and has metamorphosed into full blown depression. I can't do my work (as if I wanted to right now) because my mind is so preoccupied and something isn't firing well. If you are familiar you know. What do I do? I am/should be working on my thesis and now my advisor looks at me like a total slacker. Is it appropriate to tell him what's going on? I thought I had this worked out and now I feel like I am doomed and that any progress is really just the two steps forward before the three back. I can't meet with my therapist who I stopped seeing when I started feeling better for two weeks, my meds are NOT working, and every time I have a sip of alcohol my world crumbles. I guess my real question is whether or not is possible to treat depression so it is no longer ever...

I am on Prozac for my depression/anixety and I was feeling much better so I stopped taking it. Now I am moody. I cry all the time and every little thing stresses me out like before I started taking it. I am going to start taking it again but why does this happen?

usually when i go to school i get stomach aches and gas whenever im in class, i feel nervous and that i dont want t be there. In middle school it would never happen. I miss my middle school a lot since it was small and every1 was like family. I miss playing sports and going to church there too. Now that i go to a public high school i hate it. there are so many clicks and rude people. Not everyone in the class likes eachother, so many people are fake. I miss my old friends and high school.

Do u think it will go away once i graduate? Its been going on for all the years ive been there (im a senior now). This year it aint as bothersome but it comes up every now and then.

I just don't feel like being at work today. The day has just started and its already dragging. I am counting the hours until I can leave.

Does anyone else have this problem on Mondays and especially after holidays?

I did not have a very good Thanksgiving also. I went to visit my cousin in Los Angeles and she was busy with her work and different issues of her life.

I am not complaining. I just don't feel like working today. Maybe taking a walk at lunchtime will help.

I work in Finance at a contract job.

I want him to put me on anti depressants. I have already been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and self mutilation. My GP gave me a referral to a psychologist but at the time i didnt feel like i needed it.

I feel like i go through stages with it and now that i am back on the contraceptive pill i feel like my depression is getting out of control again.

I would go to the psychologist but i dont feel like i need to talk about anything. I just feel like i am depressed because i am depressed.

Is he going to give me what i want?

If someone is happy about being depressed, like they feel good about it, is it still depression? like if they're happy about being sad, is it still depression?

I am a 20 old kenyan male uniersity student. I do commerce and in my first semester. I cannot study and now I think I have to drop out and commit suicide. Being queer is hard here. It should not disturb me but it is, I don't know why. I have tried to commit suicide before by drugging myself and putting a charcoal burner in my room(you die in your sleep) but the room was too big to die.We are poor and my only solution may be to study abroad. If someone knows a good way for suicide tell me if you cannot help.

I mean all the ppl i know who are very smart come from well educated families such as a few freinds of mine his parents are both doctors from stanford uni and his cousin is also very smart and his parents are from john hopkins. and everyone i come across that is very brilliant have well educated parents. so is it all in the genetic code? so what im tryng to say is that if two ppl were very well educated and married had sex and etc then the baby popped out so the chances of the babies iq level would be quiet high right? later on as he progressed to be an adult?

This has been getting worse over the past 2 yrs. I get upset over something stupid and I start to cry and almost hyperventilate and after that, I can't stop crying even when I'm not upset anymore. It's like my mind wanders until it can find something else to cry about. This can last btwn 30min to 3hrs and my brain is so focused on being upset that I can't do anything else except be upset.

It's getting so frustrating because it seems to be happening all of the time. People just tell to "think of something else" or dismiss it like I'm exaggerating but I'm not - I just physically can't stop and just wanting to stop crying and not being able to makes it worse.

Or sometimes I will wake up and my mind will just be full of unwanted thoughts and it will make me upset the entire day. Or like now, I'm trying to go to sleep but suddenly all of these upsetting thoughts popped into my head and I know it'll just get worse if I turn out the lights and try to sleep.
