Mental Health - December 2007

Is my sleep habits effecting my health? I'm a full time student...i go to class 8a-12p then to work at my job as a security guard 2p-10p then study or go out with my friends who i rarely see as it is...sleep 2-4hrs then do it all over again. On Fridays i sleep til 3pm and then bartend 8p-2a then work again at 6am til 2p. I'm sure everyone knows how hard it is to pay bills let alone adding student bills too. I'm starting to feel sick and some nights when i'm free I go to bed at 6pm and sleep til my alarm goes off. I'm feeling like i'm starting to get depressed and run down. Other than cutting back on my hours and school is there any ways to help my body stay healthy and energized? I'm not talking caffeine or any of that. I want healthy ways...diet, sleep tips...etc....thanks!

If you took (what I'm assuming is) a 9mm (I don't know much about guns...) and put it under your chin and pulled the trigger, would you die instantly? Like, would you feel ANY pain at all?

I'm not asking this because I want to kill myself or anything... My dad committed suicide in this manner in September and really wanna find comfort in the fact that he felt no pain when he did this...

I have been going through a very tough month due to family tragedies and on top of that, relationship problems. I haven't been able to cry very much, it's just not in me. But I feel very emotionally stressed and need to let the pain out, or atleast find a way to cope with it before I go back to work and my daily routine. Please, post your suggestions.

I been having this problem for a while. I get headaches few times a day before. So I quit coffee. It got a lot better.
Then I realized my head can't stay focus sometimes, and it feels like cloudy and can't even do simple math problems right away. I got fired from my jobs cause they think I'm stupid or can't stay focus. But I know I'm not stupid, it is just my head gets cloudy often. I search online, it might be chronic headaches or A.D.D. Lately, I been drinking Red Bull, it helps so much. It keeps me sharp and now I know how to do tasks correctly. I don't want to rely on Red Bull forever, i know it's not healthy to drink it often. But I need it. Can someone tell me what's going on that my head is not focus before?

I start things and I never finish them, I get distracted real easily. I'm almost 21 yrs old and I graduated from high school when I was 16. Immediately I started to go to college and since then I have been dropping out of the colleges. It's like I feel what I studying is not for me. I have been thinking and I came to the conclusion that I want to get a Bachelors in Biology. I Love Biology I was always real good at it. In a way my parent weren't really there for me to show motivation. I am in a relationship since 3 years ago and right know my focus is trying to keep the house clean; which I havent really done because of my distractions, working to help pay the rent and bills; which I don't have right now, and pay off all my credit and past due payment debt. I have alot on my mind that I just can't concentrate. It's been about 8 months that I have been suffering from sinus/ allergies. I get tired all of a sudden. I do get all the sleep I need . Do you think I'm just overwhelmed?

When they think they have some disease or condition, do they ever wonder if they are hypochondriacs?

Firstly define normal in your own words not a dictionary or medical school encyclopedia.

Second, does the fact, you might not be a patient when talking in word association strike you as presumptive some would?

Finally, is this an admition by the doctor he is: Lonely, sees only crazy clients, has no contact with other professionals, or, are all his piers crazy too, hey, dont lock me up on that one, know its a bazaar joke, but tease me right back bounce it?

Enjoy using humour in an abundance, me? Personally, I thought it was a perception he delighted in games that some folk fear getting to know mental health professionals like Dr Phil Magraw et al?

Does the mathematics suggest his meaning was the person was deep, sexy, drunk with philosophy, mad, going down and family met drunk?

This Doctor loved playing mathematical games with clients, later, they healed, bazaar? It is great knowing positive role models exist where the system worked! Professionals? Like bankers salesman?

i have been diagnosed with personality disorder and depression 6 mths ago and i'm on effexor xr. I'm noticing that i'm getting worse and i know i'm doing it but can't stop. My moods are so unstable, i get depressed easily, i take offence easily and take everything the wrong way, i'm demanding when i don't mean to be and it is causing me and my boyfriend to fight heaps. I constantly feel like he never wants to do anything with me and that he doesn't love me so i find myself desperate for constant affection. What can i do to help control this. I sometimes feel like giving up. I've lost all desire to talk to or visit friends. I don't want to leave the house and i've become so dependant on being with him. I don't feel happy deep inside with myself.

I'm bipolar (cyclothymic) and lately I've felt stranger than normal.
The past 3 days I've been HIGHLY manic. As in, random insane laughter. I haven't felt truly blissful, it seems, all month. I thirst for time locked inside my own head, secluded from the rest of the world. Adolescents make me sick. Even some of my friends are beginning to make me sick. I feel very short-tempered, like everyone's just... frustrates me. Nobody else really notices, but I feel it building up inside, like a balloon that just can't stretch any larger. I'm finding it hard to differentiate between dream and reality. Oh, and I've developed an odd twitch right below the right side of my collarbone (most likely unrelated, just thought I'd toss it in).

I've never quite experienced these sorts of feelings. I've always been mellow, optimistic, outgoing, and level-headed. What's going on?

kk. its complicated and stuff so here it is.

(1)It starteed out with me and amanda at my old elementary school going to my middle school math teacher to get a math text book. And then we go to i guess the learning centerwhere we are doing problems and like everyone else is at recess right out side the classroom. And then this girl who ive seen before in my yearbook class comes over and asks amanda what problems shes doinging. Amanda says "17 and down" and the girl replys she needs those so i just asume that shes gonna come over. And then i start to hear my name and then um the b word??? and so i look up and there is mikey and devon and a few other kids that i dont recognize but i still remeber their faces and mikey holds up to pencils and its like i know that signal. (it means race) so then i get up to go meet them totally not caring about the math and then i leave the room.
Ill post the rest in additianl details.

lexapro is hard to tell. i think it might have helped a little bit but i was still nervous. the doctor than gave me xanax and that calms me down.(i just don't know if thats enough for right now) so i have three questions. do u think its even necessary for me to take the lexapro then? two i heard zoloft is good, some say better than paxil or lexapro, so do u think i should try zoloft with the xanax? or three is xanax alone or one drug alone really enough for people who are really nervous all the time. (i know everyone is different, just want your opinions)

1.5 GPA...yes i know its pathetic. And i desprately want to transfer. Now is it possible to not report my grades from my previous college and act like i dont even have any credits yet and am just going into college in my new college application? or will my new college figure it out if i try that and dismiss me?
I really hate the college i'm at now and i feel as though i'd do much better at this new college.

I know this question is in the wrong section..but i felt if i put this question in this section it'd get a lot more answers than the right section.

I'm 16 years old and I have always had a reletively happy, peaceful life. Until my dad lost his job, it sent our family into major financial. Anyways, I started getting panic attacks. I worried that I would "have a heart attack" , but eventually I realized this was not going to happen and I was able to overcome the panic attacks.

My dad, who I have always looked up to as being stable and reliable, starting getting depressed. He announced a week before christmas that he wanted to leave my mom, so there has been nothing but fighting in my house. On christmas DAY they had a huge fight. I have had nothing but stress over christmas.

Anyways, to get down to the point of what is bothering me, i have an intense fear of going crazy or suddenly losing control and losing touch with reality, and when I think of that it sends me into a panic attack. Although I know the chances of this are slim, I think about it from the moment I wake up to the moment i go to bed i worry about this.
