Mental Health - December 2007

I don't know... I just came to a realization a few days ago, and it's all I can think about now. How it's human nature to only take what YOU need, and everything you do benefits yourself in some way or another. I'm really sick of life right now, and am starting to hate people in general, myself included. So why should you keep living for everybody else?

do they realize it hurts others?

also, when they get in moods where they dont like to talk, do they still want you there? (even if you arent talking)

do they feel as if they arent good enough for anyone?

and what can you do to make them feel better?

It started when I was five years old. I remember being very depressed and anti-social. I used to hit myself a lot, and get upset very quickly with myself if I couldn't do something right the first time. I was always very afraid my Mother was going to leave me or forget me, and sometimes if she was a few minutes late when picking me up for school I would cry hysterically. I never liked my food to touch, and if I ate a type of candy that came in different colors I had to sort them all by color and eat them by number, I still do this. I carry clean-wipes with me, I don't touch things other people have touched and if I do I use my foot or one of my wipies. I don't like people touching me. I ring the door bell before leaving and before entering my own house. I vacuum several times a day, for several hours. I constantly worry and I can't go into crowded places because I freak out. A lot of what I did in childhood, I still do, ten times worse.

Any idea if I am just a spaz or? :\

Ok, So I know the question sounds dumb right off the bat. But does anyone know the effects of taking zyprexa when your not prescribed it? Zyprexa is a medicine used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bi polar disorder.

I am trying to figure out what the side effects / effects would be if taken. How would it affect brain chemistry etc.

any info would be appreciated.

thank you.

I am always anxious and nervous all the time. I'm sure some it is genetic, but for the most part it was because of the way I was raised. I won't bore you with details, but let's just say that my parents really messed with my head.

What are some ways I can get over this and learn how to relax? I am always judgemental and critical of how others pereceive me. I just want to be relax and be like everyone else.

In the past he would "jokingly" tell me how one day he could kill me and brag about how he would one day be a famous serial killer. He recently contacted me after almost 2 years of not hearing from him, and now I'm scared that I've been on his mind. He is extremely narcissistic and needs to be praised all the time. He can not take criticism and believes he is destined to be great when in fact he is a bum with nothing going for him. He has absolutely no empathy to speak of which really bothers me, and he gets very jealous. Once time goes by and I have my successful career up and going and he has no future I fear he will try to take it away from me in jealousy by killing me. the only thing giving me some comfort is that I've told numerous people that if I ever mysteriously get killed that they should report him for murder, and that will give me some peace in the afterl;ife knowing that this scumbag won't get the fame that he so desires. This bothers me all day every day.

oh i cant think of the word


ut anyway, he is a friend of mine i am in my 30s and he is only 17 i try to be honest and blunt and ask questions about how he is feeling and today i said i could smell cannibis on him

anyway i really really wanted to say to him about how it wont help him get better in the long term but i didnt want to come across as authorititave to him especially when he is being hinest with me and my husband

but how do i do this explain the dangers but still let him feel he has someone to talk too if he wants to because he isnt getting on with his parents at the moment

he is on fluoxetine at the moment as well, i have come through a bad spate of depression so i feel i can be understandng but also know that these drugs will not do any good for him in the long term even though he says that when he feels really bad they make him feel better

do you have any ideas


thanks for your help

It seems like something that started in middle school and got worse during high school. Got my diploma at 18.

I'm anxious in general and feel VERY depressed over all the mistakes and wrongdoings (basically the way I was) back then. I even feel WORSE because I wasn't supportive with my Dad in helping us move away from this house we don't like in this town I don't like in this state I don't particularly like. We could've lived in Bellingham, Washington starting earlier 2005 but I wasn't too supportive because I was so anxious about being alone and castigated as the "new kid" in whatever high school I would've attended there. Now I realize that those feelings were stupid and we coulud've moved there. I don't like the life we have here. I feel pretty guilty and very depressed. I kinda know exactly what "could've been" and that makes me horrible.

Could years of psychological therapy interspersed with some medicine help me? Every minute feels like a living hell

Anytime she sees a beehive, ants nest, or a leaf with holes in it she freaks out and gets goose bumps. She pretty much goes crazy anytime she sees something with a 'mesh-like' pattern. Is there a name for this or is she completely insane?

Like an idiot, I skipped two days out of my medications and my depression hit me yesterday and this morning with full force.

How do I pull myself out of a depressive episode while getting my medication back on track? Any ideas? Going for a walk? Shopping? Watching a funny movie?

Has anyone been in this situation before?

I been on over dozens of medications in the past but when I was 16 I took Prozac, it made me start cutting then I tried to kill myself but I was younger and now Im 21. Since I started taking it again- 20mg which will slowly be raised to 80mg I notice I have strange homicidal dreams but no dreams about suicide. The doctor said to continue taking it and give it time to work. Im taking it for bulimia. My appetite has also chilled down a little but I dont know if its from the prozac or just my strict will power that I often have to starve myself. The doctor prescribed it and said its suppoasto help with the binging/ purging so thats the only reason why Im taking it now. Has anybody taken it? I notice I am able to sleep at night and piss alot. What experiences did you have with it and did it work for your depression and anxiety? Did it make you gain/lose weight? Did the binging stop? Can I continue taking my diet pills and diuretics? Im addicted, I know its bad It will end hopefully 1 day.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

- Ernest Hemingway, author and journalist, Nobel laureate (1899-1961)

Hemingway, who took his own life in 1961, knew his share of both intelligent people and of unhappiness. He lived through two world wars, the Great Depression, four wives and an unknown number of failed romantic relationships, none of which would help him to develop happiness if he knew how.

As Hemingway's quote was based on his life experience, I will base the following speculation on both my personal and my professional experience as a sociologist. Not enough study exists to quote on this subject.

Western society is not set up to nurture intelligent children and adults, the way it dotes over athletes and sports figures, especially the outstanding ones. While we have the odd notable personality such as Albert Einstein, we also have many extremely intelligent people working in occupations that are considered among the lowliest, as may be attested by a
