Generic brands of antidepressants
Posted Thursday March 29 2007, 5:04 am
I recently went on Zoloft to treat my OCD. I opted for the generic brand when the Pharmacist asked me because it was cheaper and I'm paying for it myself. I took half a pill today as directed. But now I read on the prescription that it says "No brand substitutes allowed" Could something potentially happen to me because it's a generic brand? Or is it ok? I'm a bit paranoid now after reading that..
Thanks.

How do I convince my dad?
Posted Monday March 26 2007, 9:43 am
I posted a question about sex and being molested on friday. Many people who gave me advice told me that I should see some kind of psychologist or therapist.
Last year, my parents split and my school councelor suggested a therapist for me to go to.
I went to this lady and she only saw me once, we set up a meeting for another date, and I left. I came back the next week and she wasn't in her office, she wouldn't answer her phone, and I never got any kind of call back from her so I just quit going.
Now the problem is that not only do I not have a school councelor but now my dad is not willing to pay for a therapist and he thinks I don't need any help.
How do I convince my dad to take me to another one?

i'd love to hear a response from a person who has gone through this.

Depressed
Posted Saturday March 24 2007, 1:51 am
I've become this depressed slump in the pass couple of months and there's no one to blame but myself.
I let selfish feelings take over and I got attached.
My mind is eating itself up and everytime I seem to open my mouth, no one seems to care.
I don't even care anymore.
The thoughts I have are stupid and fuckin pathetic.
But I can't control them, Or hide them like I use to. I need a release. But I don't have one anymore. Hanging out doesn't work, going to shows doesn't work, Writing doesn't work - Everything I write is an added complaint to the last thing I wrote.
I feel like I bring everyone down when they're around me.
I'm mad. And I feel like no one cares... And the people that do seem to ...

Bad moods
Posted Friday March 23 2007, 3:36 pm
You know how people say if you have a positive attitude, good things will come your way or whatever? Well yeah it seems like whenever I'm in a good mood and I'm confident, I'm really happy and good things happen to me. But half the time, I'm in a really bad mood and bad things seem to happen to me. It's so annoying. I wish I could be in a good mood all the time instead being in a bad mood half the time. The littlest things put me in a bad mood, too. Like if I get a lot of homework in English class I'm pissed off for the whole day. Argggg. Is there anything I could do to, like, help me get out of a bad mood when I'm in one? I also get really mad at everyone when I'm in a bad mood too lol. Help?

Bipolar.....I don't know....
Posted Wednesday March 21 2007, 10:15 pm
16/f. I think I may be bipolar but I'm not sure. I've been feeling like this ever since like October. A lot has happened, and I don't think I'll get it all down, but some things that have happened are symptoms of being bipolar. Sometimes I feel so like "high", I've gotten on people's nerves when I'm like that sometimes, and sometimes the littlest thing can irritate me, and when I'm pissed off I snap. I throw things, yell, hit anything in sight, etc. Sometimes I feel really down and depressed. I have even sorta cut myself several times, or tried w/e. I've gone through both in one day, several times. Sometimes I'll feel down for several days, and sometimes really happy and such for several days. And sometimes I'm just in a...

I'm so miserable and I don't want to live anymore
Posted Wednesday March 21 2007, 3:53 pm
I'm a teenager who is single and completely miserable and hating it. I can't get a boyfriend because i'm so overweight. Everyone is automatically unattracted to me because I'm so fat. No one wants to date a fatass like me.
I want to commit sucide, but I don't want to have the pain. And I'd be afraid to anyway. So what should I do?
I've seen several therapists and counselors about my depression but they don't help.

Scared of people...
Posted Tuesday March 20 2007, 12:53 am
Ok, 'mental health' isn't the right category, but I couldn't find anything close to my prob.
I'm terrified of human beings. Male and female. I only have around 5 close friends, no one else. Whenever it comes to ordering food, I panic, start crying and refuse to call the place to ask for delivery - even though it's on the phone! I make my friend pay for the shopping I do (i give her the money, of course) because I'm just scared to do it myself. Everytime I'm at the mall and I get lost (i get lost all the time...=() I start crying and shaking because of the crowd around me.
I live in a pretty safe and quiet country (the only war we've had was between the bedouins and camels) and I should have nothing to worry about but m...

idk what to do!
Posted Monday March 19 2007, 8:01 pm
So I am mentally ill, battling with depression. I have looked everywhere for a Psychiatric clinic or facility that covers my insurance but there are none around (within 50 miles). And my parents refuse to get me somewhere where it does not support our insurance.
Are there any clinics around the Cincinnati, OH area I can go to for free or maybe to a price affordable?
Please try to help me find some clinics because I can't find any and I am desperate.
Thanks

Dreams
Posted Monday March 19 2007, 7:42 pm
Not sure where this goes... well I don't neccessarily have night mares per say, I just think about stuff that could happen to me during the night. I think about getting murdered and I actually imagine it to happen as I try to sleep. As creepy as this sounds, it freaks me out when I am lying in my bed. Nothing bad has happened in my town so I shouldn't have anything to worry about but theres always that possibility that something would happen. If you could give me some good tips or pointers on what to do when I think about dying and how I am going to die and what not, they would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes I don't get much sleep because I'm lying awake thinking about this stuff. Help me please... I don't know what else to do.

Anger Management

Does anyone have any tips on dealing with huge amounts of anger? Lately I've been sooooo angry at even the littlest thing and it upsets the people I love and I don't know how to fix it. Suggestions? And seeing a therapist isn't exactly an option at this point.
