Mental Health - December 2007

I am 35 and need immediate help with this. I am married, and things are fine, but I feel I will lose everything if I dont't get help. I'm not really expecting to get it here, but hope some one can help. I live in central FL.

I really don't even know what to say. I'm 15 and I have a great life..loving family/friends, great grades, etc. I constantly think about death and I honestly don't see myself being alive in the next couple of months. I wish something bad would happen to me sometimes and I know that's horrible, but it's the truth. I'm not depressed, but I do think of suicide. I think about stupid things a lot, a name for instance or an object....they just fascinate me. It's hard to understand. I just feel like screaming or something because I don't know what to do anymore. I can't even talk to anyone about it because I know they won't understand if I don't myself. And I don't believe in God, so praying is not an option. Ahh, do I even have a problem here? What can i doooo?

I hate the sound of running water my shower makes, so loud, it freaks me out. But I can't turn it on and off over and over because I get freezing! Any good advice? Thanks :)

It seems that even if I wake up at a fairly decent time, I'm still restless until 3-4 am.

What is OCD? What is ADD? whats the difference between the two? how can you tell if you have one or the other? Can you have both?

here is a list of my strange behaviors, do you think i have either of these conditions?

everytime i listen to someone talk i repeat what they say, then spell it out.
i always have to wear a watch. i dont have to see the time, i just have to look at my watch every 10 seconds - 10 minutes or else i flip out.
i change subjects in the middle of sentences, or completely stop talking.
i cant focus on any one subject for longer then 10 mins
I enjoy conversations about things like colors and numbers not about people...

i have a basic understanding of add, and im pretty sure i have it, as for ocd i have no clue... any input is good input

I think that my behavior and personality is GREATLY influenced by those people who are around me. For instance, when a cowrker of mine joined I went from kind of quiet to uber-chatty and joker and outgoing, like she was, very quickly. I was drawn to her personality. Now she has gone, I do not act that way. Is this bad and is there omething wrong with me? Or is this normal and am I making a big deal out of nothing? The more I think about it, the more I realise that I have done this my whole life. Any ideas would be appreciated!!

i must be honest and tell ya that i'm not even on my other account because im to afraid that people might think im some kind of freak. i want to kill myself because i honestly don't think i was ready for the real world and i feel like i don't belong here on earth at all. i don't like working at all and i got a very sh*tty minimum wage job. i really don't want to hurt the ones i love and i don't want to be selfish but i need to face it.............. the world is a better place without me. i love god and im afraid to go to hell if i did something like this but i got nothing going for me. like most of the time.

My doctor started me seven weeks ago on 40 mg adderall (IR, not XR) and as I research it it looks like most people start on less. I weigh around 120 lbs, and I dunno, it makes me concerned that maybe I've been started on too much or something. I've already built some tolerance to this amount.

What do you think? Was this crazy of the doctor or am I overreacting? Just since most people start on less I get nervous. =/

And by mental health I mean attention deficit disorder.

There are some moments that i just don't seem to care what will happen at the same time i just seem to loose all energy and interest. my friends are always going out and having fun and when they ask me to go with them i just loose all interest and end up not going. this also affected me in college, i had a paper due and i had lot of time to do it, but i every time i end up doing in on the last day (around 12:00 am) and instead of a "A" i get a "C"i know if i try i will get a good grade but i keep loosing interest and don't put enough effort in to it. for some reason i loose interest in daily activities and when i plan to go some where i keep skipping it to the next day. Other then going to school and work i don't seem to be interested in anything else.

any help will be fine. tnx

Its very unfortunate my sister is addicted to drugs. I think her drugs of choice is herion, cocaine, alchohol, pain meds & possibly meth. We first want to gather our loved ones and do a family intervention that includes consequences. The problem is she doesnt have medical insurance to pay for rehab. We need to get her professional help as a final option. If she chooses not to get help then she will suffer the consequences. We just dont have the resources to provide that final option for her. If you've seen the TV show on A&E "Intervention", this is the direction on how we want to confront her issues. We dont want to contact A&E becuase we are concerned about the after affects it might have on her 3 kids years to come. We try to conceal the problem from the kids as much as she tries to sneak around pretending shes not using. We just dont know..........we are lost!! If there is any free help out there that someone may know of please let me know. Thank You!

For example, i recently watched some "home movies" from when i was a kid and I haven't seen these old movies since I was a kid and it submerged me into a very strange state of severe , almost paralyzing depression. The same thing happens if i hear a song that i remember from my childhood but haven't heard since then. Luckily this state of depression only lasts for about a half hour, but it is bad enough that if i had to talk to someone or was supposed to be doing something productive, i would not be able to.

I have researched the disorders thoroughly and i am positive that i have ADD/ADHD. I almost cried when researching because it was so dead on and i felt like i can be helped. It really affects me during school and while trying to do homework. I told them i thought i had it and they just laughed. All i want is for them to take me to get tested for it. They refuse. It is so frustrating, and i think that they don't know what its like to have these disorders so they wouldnt understand.

AND ADVICE???

Ok I think I have bipolar disorder. My friends (One of them has bipolar disorder) have been sending me links to information about the disorder. I have been unable to sleep without a sleeping pill or forcing myself since Christmas Day. I do not want to become dependent on sleeping pills. I have every sign and symptom of Bipolar disorder except suicidal thoughts. I also have family history of the disorder. I'm scared to tell my mom because she lashed out at me last time I tried and my dad isn't around. I also have no health insurance to see a doctor. Is there any way I can visit a doctor?

Is their a special name for this when someone is craving for an eating disorder??

You know what... I dont even know what Im talking about anymore so I will just end here and read your answers.

Please no rude ones, or answers that tell me how bad my situation is.
