Mental Health - December 2007

I know this is a rediculous question,but is there anyway that one could prevent from falling out of a phase?(EX.I used to like be obsessed with a TV show and I feel myself falling away from it,I really want to like it still!)

I know some of these things you just can't help,but is there anyway to keep likeing something(how lame is this question,but I'm serious!)

Dear Friends, Now a days I am finding very much difficult to get sleep. :( my eyes will be always fresh for the whole night.. Because of less sleep, Im getting lots of head ache also...I dont know , how to get away from unnecessary thoughts while sleeping.. I thought , this could be because of work pressure and stress as i m working as a software engineer. But Now a days I never feel i m taking rest by sleeping.. So, please any one can suggest how to act on this?

II have been under the care of my doctor for the last 6 years because of social anxiety, and severe panic attacks. I have tried several different medications over the years but i have not been able to hold a job for longer than 2 weeks and have also been hospitilized twice because of this. After talking to my doctor I have decided to apply for SSI not SSD. I don't have enough work history) and see what happens with that. I have a few questions that have been floating around in my head for the last day or so since deciding this so i though i would see if anyone on here could help answer :)

here is my situation. i am 28 years old and have a son that will soon be 2 and i live with my parents for the moment and i receive food stamps. is there anyone who has a similar situation that could maybe give me a idea on what i will recieve if i am approved? does having a child make a difference in how much that amount would be? i would so appreciate any answers :) but serious answer only plz tnx

I forgot my locker combination, actually, I forgot how to even work the lock(which ways to turn it) and my friend keeps on saying there's something horribly wrong with me. I mean, I guess it's weird that I not only forgot the combo, but just how to do it at all, but my friend insists there's 'something horribly wrong with me', is there?

I've just been perscribed sertraline, is anyone else currently taking it, or has taken it in the past and can let me know what to expect (From personal experience, rather than interent/doctor). My main concerns are decrease in sexual desire, weight gain and suicidal thoughts.

Well, normally holidays don't depress me. But this year, I'm so depressed I can't even eat. But then again I was suffering depression all year-bad enough where I needed to be hospitalized & couldn't focus in school. Last yr. was the 1st yr. I spent Christmas without my family-I was living in a homeless shelter. I'm pretty sure I'll be completely alone this year with no one to call me, but my family will be expecting presents from me but won't think twice about buying me anything. I'm better off alone & without them. I know the reason why I'm depressed. I say the holidays have nothing to do with it. I'm stressed & worried about my future-what to do next year. Debating on whether I'm going to go to school, work, or both, or just take a BREAK. I suffered several anxiety attacks this semester, & they put a block on my school registration because of DISORDERLY CONDUCT, & they thought I was a danger to myself & others. All I did was cry & hyperventilate, saying how I can't take it anymore.

I never told anyone. I never yelled. I didn't say no. If I yelled I could have gotten my grandparents attention. It happened four times one summer. He was 13 and I was six. He tried again when I was 12 but by then I was able to protect myself. I finally told a few people this past summer. No one in my family (besides me and my cousin) know about it. It's affecting my entire life. It effects how I feel about myself. I can't trust anyone. I want to move on but I don't know how. No one understands how damaging rape is to the victom - especially if the victom is a child. The effects last longer than the rape. Any suggestions on how to get past this?

hey guys :)

im confused,

iv'e been really weird lately with my emotions & moods...

like one day i'll be extremely happy, i'll want to do things, get out more, and be really nice to people & get on with whatever i have to do...

then one day i'll be extremely depressed, like i'll be really sad, misserable, even know my life isnt at all that bad, i just imagine myself dead, and everyone crying. i'll be in moods with people, and i'll just think "why bother" all the time.

soo how is it that i'm changing from one extreme emotion to the other?

its soo weird :S

I have been suffering from constant nightmares from the age of 5. Every morning remember at least one nightmare - Im exhausted most of the time and certainly don't look forward to sleeping. I have tried meditation and yoga, but still have the nightmares. I have tried wearing myself out with strenuous physical effort throughout the day to no avail. I don't eat a few hours before I sleep and live alone. The only respite I seem to have from nightmares are when I take sleeping pills (very rarely). Does anyone have ANY suggestions - any meds ( benzos, SSS1 etc ) that you have taken that seem to dissapate nightmares?

Okay about 6 1/2 years ago I was in an accident with my horse. Well I don't remember anything before waking up in the hospital, not my name, family, anything. Well my family is around cuz they were there when the accident happened, so I'm not just wondering around without family. But my doctor said my memory might come back in time, But it hasn't and I feel like I'm living someone elses life. My family is always telling me stories, showing me pics, or video's of this girl I apparently was. But it freaks me out that I don't remember my own life. I'm 17 now. But one good thing is I didn't forget stuff I had learned prior to the accident. Like I know I'm a good swimmer, I speak some french. (which I found out by accident)So I guess I should be thankful for that but...yea idk what to do.

I have social anxiety... and pretty major depression, so like... I'm to the point now, where if things don't start getting better in my life, I don't know what will happen, so like... how do u get past social anxiety?? How do I start to be able to connect with people, where's my personality??? I know it's there, it'z just not there at the right times... I just can't take this stuff anymore, I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life.

Even though I'm around people... it dosn't change the fact that I'm still alone on the inside. I can't connect, I see other people out there, who can connect with people... like, a totally gothic sk8er kid can connect with a prep jock... and they can laugh and have good times together... I've seen it. It seem's like everyone around me can have good time, but me? no, I have to be stuck alone... just, blank... 4ever, I know I'm missing out on life... and no matter what I do, it feels like things will never change, can anyone relate? help.

Long story short, i've got depression decently bad, and was wondering how i go about getting treatment for it. Do i just schedule an appointment with my primary care physician and, after telling him, get a referral then to a phsyciatrist? Because I'm not too hot on the idea of somebody that, after a ten minute interview, gives you a bottle of pills and tells you to stop in next month to make sure everything worked out. In the past, for other problems (ADHD) that was what they did. How do i get into a psychologist, not just a person who prescribes medicine, but rather one who has maybe weekly sessions and works towards figuring out everything that's wrong and helping you get straightened out. Or is this two seperate, unmixable branches, where you can only get meds from one, and only get counseling from the other? Or is there somebody who does both? And where do i find that type of help, and how do i get admitted to it? My insurance is very good.
