Mental Health - December 2007

Hello, I am a college student, and it is time to take finals... I am under a HHUUUUGE amount of stress b/c of the pressure of my parents and needing to do good on these tests. For a little background information, I am a "worrier" big time, it's hereditary. Anyways, my sleeping patterns are MESSED up! One night i will stay up till 6 in the morning, and sleep from 7am to 4pm. That has happened to me about twice now, but last night I didn't sleep at all, and tonight I've slept for 6 hours (i went to bed at 5pm and woke up at 12 and couldnt go back to bed). My parents keep telling me its b/c of stress, and i'm pretty sure thats the reason also, but lemme know what you think!

Looking for a good doctor around Austin, TX. I've been too many doctors and they are against prescribing benzos(xanax, etc) which is the only thing that works for me.

I have been depressed for the last while, (guys not loving me for who I am, being lonely, acting career etc). I went to the pool yesterday, just trying to relieve stress, relaxing in the hot tub. After a while, a kid who looked about 14, maybe 15 came in and recognized me, knew who I was. He said he could tell I was looking quite depressed. We were talking for about 15 minutes. I thought he was an extremely cool kid, he said his brother who is 25, is coming out of the gym in 10 minutes, and said I should go see a movie with them.

I saw a man walk walking towards us, a muscular guy, good looking, reminded me of some kind of roofer, painter or something. It was his older brother. He introduced us to eachother, he was an extremely nice guy. We ended up going to see a movie and eat dinner, the 3 of us. John (25) Jacob (14). John told me jacob comes to his house on weekends on some weekdays, overnight. I look foward to seeing both of them again.

Is this too good to be true?Have I..

my husband has wanted to kill himself since before we met. After we got together everything changed atleast for a while. I've been his strength. He told me tonight that he hasn't been giving up that he has gave up. I have lost myself completely, in the process of fighting for his life. I no longer have a sense of self. I feel like I am spiraling completely out of control. In the battle I have lost my sense of sanity. I just feel a complete lack of control now. I don't just want to give up on him, but life has been so unlivable for me, so much to the point where I have just wanted to give up as well on my own life. I can't hold him up anymore, it's not that i want to give up, but i just can't do this anymore. Fighting this has literally sucked the life out of me. I feel so helpless. I usually have all the answers for him. I have come to a dead hault in my life. Any advice out there for me?
I feel like I just can't do this anymore.
What if anything can I do. He is on medicine and seeing

negative. Either i am happy or very sad. My emotiona are and always have been in extremes. When i was in a relationship it was a confusing situation. My fights would be like 'go to hell, i hate you' and the next moment 'i love you'. The whole conversation would be filled with these extreme emotions. Even the guy went on to say ' are you a split personality or what'. I am not ablt work out my relations. I fear rejection and abandonment all the time. If my ex wouldnt take my call two or three times, it would anger me and make me feel that he doesnt want me. This behaviour is totally outta control. Could i have BPD? My anger outbursts are also sometimes useless.

I don't have much trouble interacting with people on a casual basis- engaging in small talk with people at work, school, etc. However, whenever someone tries to be my friend by sitting with me on a regular basis in class or in the breakroom at work, I freak out. My throat gets tight, I feel hot, and feel like I just can't get enough oxygen and start breathing heavy. I come up with some reason why I have to sit at the other end of the room if someone tries to befriend me. I am in my 20's now, and have not had a friend since I was about 6, just aquantences.

I do date, and have had several long-term relationships, but I constantly have this irrational fear of abandonment. My throat feels tight talking to guys I have dated for a while, and I often have sex to avoid talking. I try to have sex ASAP so I can have some company without having to talk.

Is this a disorder or just nuts? What's it called?

Every 5 minutes I feel like crying because I don't see what the point of being here is. I'm so fortunate, I was born into a middle class stable family. I know I'm going to die though, I know no one will remember me when I'm dead. I know no one will care. Just the fact that I care that no one cares drives me crazy because I don't really like anybody anyways. I don't like the whole human thing. I was a lot happier before I was born and I wish I was never born. I wish my mom would have had an abortion or I was never conceived. I liked life better before when I was born.

Does anyone else feel this way? If so how do you deal with it?

I have a sucky life. Despite me being gainfully employed and having a college education, I hate the way I live. I realize that a lot of hangups stem from my past: being raised by a single mother, abandoned by my father and not completely accepted among mother's family.

I now live miles away from them all (by my own free will, hoping to have a new life and a fresh start). However, I realize that I am still a loser, "can't keep a friend if my life depended on it" (as told to me recently by a former friend of mine), and almost completely alone in life.

I really want to be happy. I don't know what to do. I try to be nice to others but no one ever seems to take me too seriously. I feel used a lot. How can I achieve a normal life? I want to have friends, happiness, marriage and children. These are normal things but for me I feel they are unattainable and impossible- no matter what I do. Please tell me self-remedies. I don't want to speak to a professional or take meds. Please help me!

I'm tired. Mentally, physically, psychologically, emotionally -- I am dead. I have lost faith in fellow human beings. I have lost faith in myself. Perhaps my efforts will be fruitless; maybe I am naïve in believing somehow I will escape this infinite loop. I am arrogant in believing that maybe my efforts and thoughts will have any intellectual significance. These days, only a rare few concern themselves with ideas. Maybe it is with reason. Why live to become another drone? Happiness? Where is happiness if my own critical, constant introspection leeches it? Money? Fame? What is it? Nobody cares for my ideas but me.

My body is failing me as I slowly fall into a cycle of mania and depression. If death were to come upon me now, I would embrace it.

I don't know why I post here. Likely, I will be flamed. Perhaps you can offer some insight.

Three years ago my ex-girlfriend had a guy she was sleeping with at the time who worked for the DMV screw up my driving record. I lost my license after being arrseted ofr driving under a supended license. Thats when living in exile began. I had to move in under my work in old office space so I could walk to work everyday. I didn't like this job to start with but it was all I could get with my situation. Today I was late to work because I just stood at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the door. It took everything I had to walk up those stairs and come into work. I'm sick of everything I'm doing. I live in an area where walking to stuff is impossible due to the bad area. I have to carry a gun with me when I buy food. I shouldn't have to live like this. I've tried to get my license back with no luck. I've lost the motivation to go on anymore.

For the past two years I've been one of the misfits at school. I have almost no problem with this, but people throw food at me, tell me I'm a loser, call me stupid, and weird. I use to have snappy funny comebacks for stuff like that but not anymore. I find myself sitting back and taking it. I've been feeling more depressed. I don't want to see a doctor or anything I just want to get out of this stage. I still laugh and enjoy myself but, I still get depressed at times. I'm worried because I die alot in my dreams and I don't believe in that you die in your dreams you die in real life because I've died several times HELP!!!

The side effects out weigh the benefits. You name the anti whatever I have taken it. Personally I think it's a conspiracy between the Dr's & Big Pharma.

I don't listen to my Dr. just b/c he has an MD. i do my OWN research & find what's right for ME not 100 people from some bogus study.
