Mental Health - December 2007

I was taking Wellbutrin for 3 months, i just went off of it and started Serzone, well Nafasodone, the generic) I have a problem with anxiety, attacks and just chronic uncontrolable worrying, even imagining that something negative will happen. Anyway, the Wellbutrin made me so gloomy and depressed. My hubby bought me a big HappyLigth and that didnt help. before that i took lexapro for 2 years but went off of it, because i think it made me gain weight. I took Serzone before but my doc took me off of it because they were going to take it off of the market.but I found out 2 years late, that it didn't happen, yay I am alot more happy and this is only the first day.

I was wondering, if someone told you that they were bipolar, would you think of them as a "crazy" person or would you still want to get to know them, be friends with the, etc ???

I hate school. Lately, I have been noticing that I am becoming more and more antisocial. I love to talk to people, but I have very few friends. I always sit by myself and walk around the playground at school. I am in 7th grade. I wish I could be less depressed all the time, but I don't know what to do. I have had terrible luck with the ladies, so I won't ever date again. If someone could help me get through this, I would appreciate it.

Do you really think Huckabee can win the Republican nomination or is the machine just too strong and against him?

(Just noticed this is the "Mental Health Section", so let me rephrase that. How do you feel about it?)

one of my friends freaks out and starts panicking when shes under stress/pressure/has no control of a situation. She'll even start crying when things arent going her way e.g. once we drove to someone's house in the suburbs and we got lost and could not find our way to the highway for a good hour (even tho we stopped a few times @ gas stations to ask for directions)and after panicking she stopped in the middle of the street (intersection) (she was driving) and put her head out the window and started screaming for help and waving her arms to try to get someone to stop and help us. she was hysterical and made it seem like we're in a life-death situation. after that she never apologized or explained herself, she just said she was "scared". (it was the suburbs and there was no sign of danger anywhere). another time she started crying cuz she thought she'd fail a math test (even tho she always gets A's) even tho she studied all day and yest she freaked out cuz she had a report due in an hour

The oral person's self-esteem, then, is dependent on getting food and supplies for warmth, comfort, and safety. This person has trouble trusting either his environment or his own resources. Such a person tends always to see people and objects in terms of their ability to provide him with supplies. Searching always for his own gratification, never perceives clearly the reality of what the world offers.
Many overeaters are unhappy. Their eating behavior is beyond their control.

The hunter might go without food for an extended period of time and finally make a kill, resulting in binge eating.

The control of appetite is a very complex subject.
Most overeaters overeat for emotional reasons. Whenever overeating is used to suppress feelings and to deal with inner conflicts, the individual is not listening to his appetite.
However, when an emotional situation arises which aggravates the basic eating conflict. The healing may take years of psychotherapy.

I am one emotional eater!

Hey my purpose for this message is that I really do not know how to find myself. I need so much assistance. I feel as if the world is being isolated from me. I feel weak, useless, and that I do not have much purpose in life. I need some help. If you have any advice that would help me out please feel free to message me back. I desire the knowledge of the publuc. I heard this robust saying that you may be shown the water but you are the one whom must drink it. I also heard that 90% of our lives are our reactions to situations. I do not know how I can become noticed. I feel as if I need someone to help me. Although, in the end, I believe that the help that one does for his or herself is more helpful to him or her than any other type of advice. I need to know how I can focus on my beliefs and how I can lessen the burden of people disliking me, taking their anger out on me and opinioning that I am some sort of scapegoat for them to take their anger out on know. Do not send me your nonsense.

I have always had a perfection problem but now it is turning out to be very very bad. I won't start my homework unless I can do it all in 1 day and do it very well. I believe that not turning anything in is just as good as turning something in and failing it so I am not willing to do my work if I can't do it well and all in one day (this includes long term projects). I feel very stressed out due to the fact that I am a senior but I haven't applied anywhere to college yet and I need to do that soon. I also feel a sense of depression because of the death of my mother 5 years ago, I feel like I don't have any true friends, about 2 weeks ago I was assaulted by an unknown gang of kids that didn't go to my school and now I don't really trust as many people, I feel a sense of true happiness borderlying on obsession about a very old Barney and Friends episode coming back on television although I don't truely know how to tell my dad I want to see it (it was my favorite during my childhood).

is there a way to stop yourself from crying? A teacher was asking me if i had been having problems at home because i was apparently being "distant" in class, and for some reason i started crying even though everything with me is fine. i have no idea why i cried, and now everyone i know is convinced that i have some huge problem at home and ive been getting all this sympathy, so whenever someone asks me if im ok, i jus start crying again which makes them even more convinced. i dont know why i started crying, but is there a way i can make myself stop crying? and try to convince everyone that im not depressed or upset about something?

If you're not sure of the technical amount, how much do you use and see noticeable effects?


Please remember that fish oil is categorized in

1. the grams of just fish oil (one capsule is usually 1 gram, but not always)

2. The amount of just omega 3s. (which includes EPA, DHA, and 'others'

3. The amount of EPA and DHA


Please answer in amount of EPA/DHA as those numbers are the most important. Thank you.

I feel like committing suicide because im going through a lot of stress from school and my parents consistently bother me about my school and yell at me all the time, its really crazy my mom just said to me on the phone " is there something bothering you? to tell u the truth, do you not want to go to school anymore?"
im like wtf??
i hang up on her all the time because she just annoys me and my dad when he gets back from work starts yelling at me and keeps complaining about my grades. right now im failing like 5 to 4 class, i don't know what to ******* do anymore, its like being in hell.
i have so many other problems aswell so that's not the only problem im dealing with, but its the one of the main problems right now. I feel like im slowly fading away from this world....like there's no place for me in life....
i almost don't socialize with anyone at school and i have "the final's" coming next week and im afraid to fail it. What the hell do i do?

1. Sleeps at about 5 in the morning and wakes up at about 7 Mostly because she can't sleep, seems depressed.
2. she might have ocd? obsessed with being clean..examples:
-must sleep with clean clothes on
after showering, cant sit on the toilet unless its been cleaned
-wipes floor using napkins about 2 times a day..esp. the near the front door
-washes hands too often and about 3 minutes each time
-yells at me if i dont wash my hands after coming home
3. after moving to a new condo about 2 years ago, she doesn't do anything. she just leaves boxes stacked on top of each other in her room. you can't even walk to the corners of her room. When i tell her that she should clean up, she just blames my dad (her ex-husband) that he won't help her buy any shelves. even though he has nothing to do with it.
Theres a carpet of dust stuck to the exhaust fan and she refuses to clean it.. i think its becuz she doesnt wanna get dirty
Personally, i think she has ocd or some kind of depression
