Mental Health - December 2007

i have a very peacfull approach to things, i always think before i act and how its gonna influence other becuase i was hurt a lot and i dont think others should be hurt, i believe in positive reinforcment.

but i really hate my brother he hits our dogs and yells at them, when i tell my mother im gonna call animal welfare on them she just says he needs to be hit becuase he is a bad dog, and i believe its because we raised him wrong and all we need to do is work with the dog and then we can better him,but they dont want to do any work and sometimes i get so angry at my brother for hitting the dog, i want to stab him

i think it reminds me of when i was little and they spanked me and I didn’t really understand and that caused a lot of pain for me, and i just want him to stop but i cant do anything cause he is a big guy and when he gets upset he yells really loud and i feel he is going to hurt me, i want him to stop hurting the dog and i want my mother 2 be civil and have respect

i want so bad for them to understand that you can be good and dont need to resort to violence

For the past 10 or so years (I'm 28) I've been lying to my family and friends. I lie about everything, big and small, sometimes I know I'm doing it, but most of the time the lie comes out of my mouth before I have a chance to tell the truth. Recently my lying got really out of control, to the point where its torn apart my 5 year relationship, I've lost most of my friends, my mother doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. I know I need to seek help, but don't know where to turn. I've tried seeing a psychologist, a social worker, I've been to various groups, nothing seems to be helping. I'm in central CT and was wondering if anyone could recommend a Dr or psychologist that may be able to help me with this. I know the change must come from within, but where do I start?? It seems that I go speak to people about this and they all say the same thing...I dont know much about your problem...whats that helping? Even if someone had the number of a referal system..I'm desperate, please hel

They keep all her medicines to prevent overdoses etc, but if she needs pain relief at night they say the staff cant give it her, as they arent qualified?! Also I have problems finding out who has responsibility for her overall.

SO basically i dont have extreme anxiety but just a mild case of it like when im by myself iM just fine or when iM around people im REALLY close to like my mom, dad, & sister i'll be fine but when it comes to going out or hanging out with people [even if i know them]

First off, I am in therapy so don't bring that up

I HATE SCHOOL! I suck so much at it because I am so stupid! In have Asperger's Syndrome Disorder (Autism), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Clinical Depression and I am near the end of my patience. I just can't take school anymore! Besides, even if I do finish High school, there is no future for me anyways! I have researched close to a hundred different career choices for the future, and for ALL of them, I am either too dumb or not interested in doing - mostly because I am too stupid though. So I think to myself, if I spend the neck 2 years of my life in hell (school), then what? The answer is nothing! There is no career for me. So should I just drop out and say the hell with it because I am too stupid and I have no future regardless?

There are lot of ways to get out of depression. I am one of depressed person who is on medication. One way that i see to get out of depressesion, is to be happy or alteast for some time. That way you would be better prepared for facing the next day. Definetly those who don't understand what it feels like to be deeply depressed can't help us. Then its up to us to help ourselves & get out of it. If all depressed people can have a join and have a discussion on how you handled the most depressed peroid in your life time. This would help other depressed to gain self belief & mental strength to face the other part of life. I believe if depressed people can come together then anything is possible. Then there is no need to be depressed. No need to fear.

Arghh, I just feel really bad, cannot shake the seeping dread poison that is flowing through my veins. Took mini od on Tuesday, another last night, I want to hurt myself, but I don't. This is confusing I want to tell somebody, but am paranoid. My t, said I should tell people when I get like this, but I'm too sared to. I'm worried my family will try to control me, and would be really upset if they knew. I am tempted to go back to the gp, but I get frightened in case she sends me away. What is realistically likely to happen if I tell my gp about this (have already been in A&E 3 times this year with overdoses). I live in the UK if that helps. I am really frightened about this feeling, and these thoughts, too scared of bing locked away. Please help me.

I've tried to hide the fact that I am manic and bi-polar for years, but recently I "came out" and let the people i work with know that I have issues. They understand better now when I have a "episode". I'm very lucky, they are all understanding about it. We even joke about it all. Any opinions,,,,,anybody do the same?????

and if they did abuse the stuff wouldn't it just knock them out. Trying to decide if we need a padlock on our door to keep teens and older kids from taking it. I didn't think it would do anything other than make you sleepy. Have been told a little different. Thanks.

I am so sad right now. I went to the movies again yesterday and spoke some more with Brandon who works there. Everything was going well until the end, when I saw Brandon with a girl, presumably his girlfriend, talking, laughing, and then walking out of the cinema to his car. I was sitting on the bench in the lobby and he completely ignored me on his way out. I have had a crush on this guy for over a year and now I am completely crushed. One week after I found out his name and where he works, my heart gets ripped out and it hurts so bad. I haven't felt this bad since I was a freshman in high school, when this girl broke up with me to go out with a junior. Ever since then, I have distrusted girls, using them for one thing and one thing only. Over the past three-and-a-half years, I have also started to find some guys attractive... like maybe 1-5%, not enough to be officially classified as gay or bi.

It's very difficult for me to get motivated to do something unless there's a an outside factor, like a deadline or an evaluation. I'm learning German, I would like to start learning piano, I'd like to learn Italian too, coiffe my hair every morning, read 12 books every year, and exercise. But I can never do these things alone unless I'm been pushed by someone or something. How can I learn these things and be completly independent? I just feel like self-discipline, hardwork and independence are the perfect recipe for success and that I should work on those...Anybody been there and found a way to improve their self-confidence??

I always thought I was just shy but I've been reading alot about social phobia and some of it fits me. I am quiet, I prefer my own company but I suspect that comes from being an only child. I don't make friends easily, I am not scared of people, I can go and do anything I want I just find crowds etc uncomfortable, I don't have panic attacks or anything in crowds I just don't really like them, same with socialising, I don't really like it but I'm not scared to do it. I have a full time job, a wife and 2 kids, most people I have read about who are social phobic don't

So I'm a 16 year old kid. Junior in High school. In an accelerated program. Taking some ap and honors classes. I JUST NEVER SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME..to do stuff. I feel that I use to be extremely sociable but my life is just so busy now its crazy. For the past few friday nights I have been so tired that i feel asleep around 5pm and didnt wake up till like 11am on sat. morning. I feel a little depressed, and that i'm just missing out on that genuine "high school is the best time of your life". Any tips to help me out? Basically my goal is to start going out again, have fun, date girls again, and keep up my god grades. Is this even possible? Anybody else with a busy lifestyle out there? How do you deal with it...man im just so tired of school. Need a Break.

I've found this to be true for me, and many of my friends, not to mention reviews by others online.

What gives? With the side effects either getting in the way of recovery or drugs simply not being effective at all, I get annoyed that the pharmaceutical companies act like these are solutions when people spend years trying to find the 'right' meds... and so many never even get there!

And why to a lot of the meds seem to increase the common symptoms of depression and anxiety as side effects and when you are coming off of them! Craziness!

Any of these things alone is enuf to have people get their mental health issues more challenging to deal with, when they are told by counselors who can't help them, 'try medications'...

i'm not saying that medicines don't help anybody, or that people should go off them if they're on them, but the people i know & myself have had a hella time, plus those internet reviews! it doesn't help that a lot of the drugs are barely tested for not long b4 market!

I have been with my bf just at a year now, and i do care alot for him. It is just that we aren't getting along lately we fight everytime we see each other and i feel like a clingy needy gf,
but i think some of it may also be legit. My boyfriend is very insensitive and does not really respond well to relationship problems. i don't know how to take him but i just cannot keep this up. i l ove him sooooo much (ps after a year and we still haven't said it to each other). but i don't know how he feels. and not knowing and having him toy with me and my emotions only hurts worse and worse each time, now i am sitting here crying, and just can't stop. help! i am drowning in my tears!
