Hi, I'm wondering if I have some type of mental condition that should be treated; here's a list ...?

Question

of how I feel, and actions/inaction I have exhibited for quite some time now; I'd appreciate it if you're a certified psychologist or mental health counselor who has seen it all; currently I'm unemployed and getting financial support from family, which after awhile is feeling embarrasing since I'm in my 30s; ok, here it is: 1) after a week or so at a new job, I start regulary going late to work, 2) I hate leaving an apt. when I hear someone else is leaving their apt. on the same floor at a similar time, 3) I get easily agitated when people cough around me [I think they don't like me, etc..], 4) sometimes if I get into a heated argument, I feel some feeling of heart palpitation or something; the beat goes much faster and scares me, 5) I don't have the most confident sounding voice when I chat (maybe I think if I come across more assertive, I'd annoy the other person) and 6) I procrastinate with housework tht needs to get done [I hate staying too long indoors], your input is welcome, thx

Answer 1

sounds like anxiety disorder, dysthymic disorder, depression, or...?.... It could be a number of things, but can't really be "diagnosed" with one question and a list of issues. As one other person suggested, please see a psychologist or psychiatrist. There are medications that can help with SOME things, and, coupled with counseling, can help you modify your behavior and begin to get you back on track.
Good luck.

Answer 2

Id guess that you have an inferiority complex coupled with self destructive tendencies. This is not terrible, but will cause your problems as life goes on.

The inferiority complex is evident in how you view your own voice, and how you feel about your job. The fact that you habitually come in late proves that you don't feel you deserve the job and you are going about sabotaging your ability to keep the job.

It is also evident in your immediate reaction to those around you. Where a cough brings out feelings that others hate you again proves this surface theory.

If I were you, I'd find someone to discuss this with. It can be a counselor, a therapist or a psychologist. But I'd do it soon, so as to protect yourself for the future.

Answer 3

After years of working with the local mental health staff and seeing patients that are very much like what you would describe, I would reckon a guess that you may have a couple of things, either alone or together. (my guess is together).
Those things would be: 1. Depression
2. Paranoid Schizophrenia
If this is infact what is going on, if your seek help, there is treatment, via medication & theraphy. I have seen first hand how patients have gone on to live "normal" functioning lives while being treated.
Please seek help. Living like this will only get worse and increase your chance of suicidal tendacies as time goes on. You owe it to yourself and your family to seek help. Contact your local Mental Health facility. Many states offer free depression screening clinics. Or at least see your physician.
Best of luck to you!

Answer 4

From the sound of those, I suggest a psychiatrist. You need to work on behavior modification to change your actions. (there isn't a drug that can make you more assertive or procrastinate less). A psychiatrist will be able to help you with the issues and help you change them.

As for #4 that is a normal physical reaction to being angry.

Please seek professional help. These things can be changed with the two of your working together.

Answer 5

no i don't think it's a medical problem...sounds like you're lazy and got use to your family supporting you.the way[i think] that you love yourself, if you though you have a med/problem you would have seen a doctor..so be the man you suppose to be and take your a s s to work and try and find some courage...your heart beats fast cause you don't give it a work out,or just maybe you're just scared when you have to speak to someone. just be glad you have a family that will help you out but you should quit using them.if you have a job, go to work, get there 15mins early, work hard, be proud and thank your family. a man isn't a man just because he have much...it's what he gives that makes him a man of much....hope you get the point.......now get with it.........

Answer 6

Hi.....I understand what you are feeling and experiencing and you're not alone. As a scientist I tend to look for and gather info about things that are directly related to me and my actions/feelings, etc.
I came from a very large family, all high IQ's, and very sensitive. I was unusual even in my unique family. I was very sensitive to energies around me and could actually "feel" others pain, emotions, etc. I spent a lifetime trying to understand myself and looked for answers. I still do.
If you have any knowledge of evolution, you know that humans have evolved in many ways. This evolutionary process has not come to an end and people DO continue to evolve, many are farther along the path than others. From what I've experienced and learned I have come to believe that many are experiencing an evolutionary stage which encompasses a much greater intuition and sensitivity to everything around them. It's a kind of "knowing" that comes from within you. Things and events around you become irritating, uncomfortable, and we try to avoid all of this crap. Energies build and we feel like hiding out because we don't even consider all this crap a "good" thing.
But it is only growing pains, similar to our bones growing so fast that we ache.
There is alot of bullshit information out there to help, but I've also found some very helpful info too.
The great thing about truth is that it rings true to our senses. You have only to trust your own ability to sift out the info that doesn't harmonize with you. You are the only one that can sift it out. There will always be others that think they know what's best for you.
I'm adding a couple of websites that have harmonized with my own vibration and will add those.
Have you ever read the Clan of the Cave Bear books? The woman in the story has evolved much faster than her neanderthal counterparts and so she is rejected by her clan as weird, evil, and scary. It happens. Fear keeps us down as does judgement by others.
Just knowing you are not alone in these "changes" you're going through helps. If others that tell you to see a shrink, take meds, whatever, and that rings true, then I may be wrong, but my own senses tell me you are evolving and others around you may not be. Only YOU know for YOU. One common factor I've learned in those more evolved is that they tend to believe that there is something wrong with them because they don't "fit". Looking around me, or at the daily news, I'm glad I didn't fit.
Good luck, God bless
p.s. Dancing, music, laughter and friends help me tremendously with my own ostrich tendencies.

Answer 7

Make and appointment and speak to a counselor. You need to find some strategies that will help you deal with your lack of self confidence. Having to rely on family makes us all feel inadequate or even a failure, a counselor may be able to help you find ways to deal with your difficulties or put you in touch with a professional if they feel your problems need more qualified help.

Answer 8

This very question introduced on a communicate between myself and a chum at some point. nearby Africans have been violently removed from their native land by ability of people who needed the land for themselves. (nearby human beings suffered this too.) They have been shipped foreign places to places that they had no theory existed. They have been compelled into hard artwork, brutalized and now and returned overtly murdered in the previous the eyes of their brethren. Then those households have been torn aside on the whim of people who held them prisoner. certainly one of those therapy creates psychological and emotional trauma. what isn't usually time-honored is that certainly one of those trauma would nicely be handed down throughout the generations if not taken care of. in case you study comments on human beings have been P.O.W. and people who have been bodily or sexually abused as babies, you will see my factor. African human beings would have been free of enslavement, besides the undeniable fact that, the emotional scars have in no way been dealt with. They have been left to fend for themselves and heal in the only way they'd in a land that didn't want them. think of residing in domicile of human beings, who continuously taken care of you as an undesirable customer. think of additionally on people who can factor to a map and know precisely the place their ancestors originated. Amy Tan, a chinese language American wrote: "as quickly as I stepped off the plane in China, I became chinese language." How undesirable is it, to not have that? mutually as the trauma won't be as stated now because it became into in the ancestors, a fashion of thinking became into created by ability of it. So please don't be too difficult on people who've suffered discrimination and are extra aggressive of their view of race relatives. we've made progression, yet we are actually not extremely there yet.

Answer 9

bi-polar or social anxiety disorder.
