Mental health issues. Inc depression, DPD, phobias etc.,
Saturday, November 27, 2010, 9:12:54 AM | steveba47
Most mental health problems are caused by a toxic mind! Isuffered my fair share, including : Depersonalisation, depression, phobias, paranoia, OCD etc., I could not get any help from medical professionals so I decided to find my own cure!Once the toxins are removed from your brain all your problems disappear! I wrote a book called 'Feeling Unreal (Depersonalisation) My Cure' to help other sufferers. I wish the medical profession would read it!!!!

Frightening interaction with Prozac and Benadryl
Friday, August 06, 2010, 11:49:17 AM | Nozama Dog
I was recently prescribed Prozac, 20 mg, and had a very scary episode while trying to fall to sleep.Occasionally, I take a Sominex (which contains diphenhydramine HCl, also known as Benadryl) to help me get drowsy at bedtime.Well, I did take one last evening, having taken a prozac earlier that day. When I would reach the point of falling asleep, I would be jarred awake with start and here's the scary part. At the same time, I would scream, at the absolute top of my lungs, a blood-curdling primal scream that must have freaked out my neighbors below.This happened an estimated 30-50 times, each time screaming so hard that my voice was a bit hoarse in the morning. I don't think I was ever able to fall asleep at all, because each time I reached that point of crossing over into sleep, I would be awakened by the sound of my own screams.I have had this occaisionally before, but never all night long. I did report this to my doctor, and he immediately told me to discontinue the Prozac until I can get in there for another SSRI.Anyone ever have sleep disturbances with Prozac or the other SSRI's? If anyone heard me, they would have thought they were living next to a lunatic.

Excessive sweating and Anti-Depression Meds
Tuesday, July 27, 2010, 5:33:27 PM | Jane Smith
I suffer from depression and anxiety and am currently taking Wellbutrin and Buspar and sometimes Klonopin for palpitations. These are my preferred medications as they are the only ones that work for me. Only problem is I sweat like crazy, (especially in the summer). I feel soaked from my head to neck and my back. I know it is a side effect of the wellbutrin. I've tried Cogentin and Topomax but they make me feel drowzy. Does anybody out there have any ideas on how to control this?

Does violence on tv contribute to depression and anxiety?
Monday, July 26, 2010, 4:09:24 PM | Jane Smith
I love to watch real life tv, especially crime shows. But I suffer from depression and anxiety. Am I harming myself by watching this? Does violence not directly inflicted upon a person still injure the person?

ORGANIC Mood / Depression Cure: Free Samples! Organic Instant Cocoa w/Cordyceps and Reishi
Monday, May 17, 2010, 11:02:27 AM | J. Mecray
I have been using this product for over a year now, so I know it works great. I have tried many anti-depressants and herbs for my depression and moodiness and nothing worked, nothing. I was frustrated and completely devastated. Then a friend of mine in the herbal nutraceutical industry insisted I try CocoCeps. Guess what IT WORKS. It elevates my mood and gives me a very nice invigorating feeling throughout the day, which I did not expect. It also gives me a quick energy boost I crave in the morning, very cool stuff! I have been placing so many orders; the company has given me tons of free samples. I am so grateful to have found something that works, so rather than hoard the samples, I am really excited to help others and give them out to anyone who is interested.I am willing to mail free samples to anyone who is really in need of relief from depression. Please, only those who really need it reply. Please send me a note to my personal email address with your mailing address and where you saw my posting & I will send samples (one of the CocoCeps) directly to you.I look forward to helping anyone who needs immediate relief.JMecray@Gmail.Com

In hospital with depression for almost 6 weeks and wrote a book
Friday, May 14, 2010, 10:07:51 PM | R. Whyte
Hi there - I was in hospital for almost 6 weeks suffering from clinical depression and somehow managed to write a book about how I was feeling and more importantly, what people could do to make me feel better. Can I suggest that if you're caring for someone with depression that you download a free sample of my book and see what it's about? If you think it will help, the full book is only a modest price. It's helped a great many people already - hopefully it can help you too. Is it weird in here or is it just me? A real-time and first-hand account of depression for families, friends and carersThanks everyone, Rod

Travels of the MindToday I want you to try a new kind of mediation. You can practise it just for a few minutes. Use this technique even during the work, and whenever you are involved in a difficult situation. It works like that:Breathe in and out, through your nostrils; watch yourself and the breathing which goes in and out through your nostrils. When the breath come in, imagine that a white light is coming inside your body, inundating it. When you breathe out imagine that the air is passing through your nostrils in the form of a black smog, carrying with it all your worries, anxieties and so on. The black smock will all your worries dissolves itself in the floor or in the ground. "Travels of the Mind" is a way for healing anxiety, phobias, hypochondria and psychic disorders. It cannot be assimilated to a manual. It contains tips for resolving inner problems, but it leaves to the reader the choice of the way for self-healing. A chick cannot hatch out if the hen does not peck the egg-shell. "Travels of the Mind" is like that, it pecks softly your shell for helping you to get out of your own mental prison.Ettore Grillo, author of "Travels of the Mind"

The Art of the Fresh Start ?
Friday, March 12, 2010, 11:44:48 AM | Jane Smith
I suffer from depression, anxiety and I am suffering. I have problems with just about everything and everyone. Many times I've thought of leaving it all behind (including my marriage, sometimes) & going away-far, far away. Then I think of just getting rid of all my material things (they're crowding my mind, time and space) & dropping whatever I can, while looking for a way to start over. Has anyone ever done any of these? Just start over? How does one "start over"? Can it be done?

Healing Depression Naturally
Monday, January 25, 2010, 7:25:18 AM | Kelly R. Cindrich
I have noticed that so many people talk about using medications to help with their depression. There have been many studies done that show many of those medications are the same as using a placebo to cure depression! This was an article recently published by the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/06/health/views/06depress.htmlIt talks about how drugs may only help severly depressed people. Many of us have moderate or seasonal depression which drugs may not help with. This book, Healing Depression the Mind-Body Way: Creating Happiness with Meditation, Yoga, and Ayurveda is a great book about healing depression naturally. It is a very easy read, not too technical, and gives so much helpful information on how to heal depression with out the use of medications.They also have a website and a blog. I will post those links here: http://healingdepression.wordpress.comhttp://www.depressionproofyourlife.comI hope this will help those of you who wish to either stop using prescription drugs or those of you who are considering taking prescription drugs.

Magnesium for depression and anxiety
Saturday, January 16, 2010, 11:23:01 PM | BluesKid
I recently started taking magnesium to help me fall asleep. What I didn't expect was that it would dissolve my depression and anxiety symptoms. It's seriously changed my life. I think rationally now while still being able to feel things strongly when I want to. Magnesium is inside every cell and therefore improves functionality of all your neurotransmitters. So your brain can balance itself out with serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, etc. This also makes your body more responsive to SSRIs and neurotrasmitter boosting supplements like 5-HTP, L-tyrosine, and SAMe.Not only is my depression and anxiety gone, but I have more energy, my joints and muscles feel limber, and I'm a lot more social. Things just don't bother me anymore, and I'm filled with a sense of love for people I simply never felt before. I don't want to say I'm cured, because I still have negative thoughts that can distract me from life if I let them. And I can feel things like anger, resentment, and sadness still living inside me. The difference is now they can never take control, derail my positive mood, and take me to a dark place. Magnesium has rendered them virtually powerless. I might not believe it if I were you reading this, but this has happened to me and I'll never be the same.Naturally after experiencing this transformation I searched the web for information on magnesium. Apparently there are estimates that as many as three quarter of Americans are magnesium deficient, and this deficiency may be responsible for a whole host of health problems including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, you name it. It's because magnesium is such a vital electrolyte that, like potassium, is found inside every cell. Magnesium is removed through processing from the food we eat and the water we drink. But it can be found in high amounts in things like whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables, peanut butter, avocados, cocoa, and beans.Here is a great discussion of the role magnesium may play in depression and suicide: http://www.mgwater.com/rod19.shtmlAnd this is an excellent book about the benefits of this amazing mineral: http://www.amazon.com/Magnesium-Factor-Mildred-Seelig/dp/1583331565/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263712991&sr=8-1 Please don't say that I'm full of it, magnesium does nothing, etc. until you've taken some magnesium supplements for a few days and experienced the effects (or lack thereof) for yourself. If you've done that and you still feel anxious or depressed, then perhaps you're getting enough magnesium already through your diet or drinking water and something else is lacking. Or maybe magnesium doesn't work for everyone. We're all different, I know. But I've been through depression and no one deserves to suffer like that. If there's a chance magnesium can help you like it helped me, I want you to give it a try.

Advice for going off Welbutrin XL
Sunday, January 10, 2010, 10:02:33 PM | alsok2
Hello. First-time poster here. Have been on Welbutrin XL for years (post-partum depression after my son was born in 2000). When I mention going off meds to my GP (was under his care when we finally settled on Welbutrin), he asks how I'm feeling and, since I say 'more or less fine', he thinks I should stay on Welbutrin and that it is actually doing my brain some good. I, on the other hand, wonder how I would fare Rx-free after all these years. Any advice? Anyone? Thanks.

Entangled in Darkness by Lindsey Webster
Saturday, October 17, 2009, 4:22:42 AM | Lindsey M. Webster
Entangled in DarknessI've just published a novel inspired by real life struggles with mental illness, especially depression and bipolar disorder. At its heart, it is really about the struggle of a person, of a family, of friends and loved ones, in the face of mental illness, bipolar disorder, depression, suicide, self-injury, hospitalization, etc. I hope people can read it and find some sort of empathy or understanding for those struggling with mental illness. This story may be fictional, but it is a story that reflects reality for so many that struggle with mental illness. I wrote this for so many people and this story comes out of so many stories of real life people, real life faces, real life hearts and families and loved ones, survivors and people that didn't make it through the darkness. This story encompasses so much. More than anything else, I wrote it for my sister that struggled with depression as a teenager and didn't survive. This book is for her. Here is a little synopsis of ENTANGLED IN DARKNESS..."Annalyn Johanssen was moving out from home with her best friend and starting university for the first time. It was supposed to be an exciting time in her life. She saw herself as being on the road to success and hoped to one day see herself getting a Ph.D. and starting a prestigious career. University was just the first step in a long and happy life of success. As much as she hoped to get away from the unhappiness of her adolescence, she soon found herself spiraling into darkness..."

impossible motherhood #1 amazon women studies
Sunday, September 20, 2009, 7:52:58 AM | Dan
"Stunning. A Lyrical and visionary memoir of depression, Puerto Rican identity, and young womanhood"-Kirkus Review (starred review)Hola! The new book Impossible Motherhood (foreword by Robin Morgan) is #1 on amazon's Women Studies books though pub date is in October!! Wanted to share the link and invite you to check the book out and support facilitating a historic public discussion on abortion and the urgent related subjects the book presents (e.g. sexualities studies, gender and feminist studies, ethnicity and race, generational and national trauma, latino studies, conflict, memory, reconciliation, psychohistory, testimonio writing, Puerto Rico's history of reproductive repression) and as Gloria Feldt so well describes in her blurb below, on the realities of "the power of sexuality and procreation that often is the only power a young woman perceives she owns in this world".A significant portion of the book royalties are going to sigi.org The Sisterhood is Global Institute founded by Robin Morgan (author of the book's foreword) and Simone de Beauvoir. Also, check out October issue of Elle magazine already in newstands featuring Impossible Motherhood on ElleIntelligence books. Visit abc.com this coming Monday Sept. 21st for a substantial feature of the book. Saludos! Irene Vilarhttp://www.amazon.com/Impossible-Motherhood-Testimony-Abortion-Addict/dp/1590513207/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253287182&sr=1-1www.irenevilar.comAlso, reprint of The Ladies' Gallery, a memoir of family secrets is being reissued with Impossible Motherhood with a new foreword by Carlin Romanohttp://www.amazon.com/Ladies-Gallery-Memoir-Family-Secrets/dp/1590513231/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_4pre pub blurbs/reviews:"Impossible Motherhood is another dark perfect gem from Irene Vilar and a journey into a harrowing underworld but guided by Vilar's gifts and her light we emerge in the end transformed, enlightened and oh so alive. "-Junot Diaz"I have never read a book like Impossible Motherhood, Irene Vilar's disturbing, heart-wrenching, and ultimately triumphant memoir, for the simple and understandable reason that no one of her gender has ever summoned the brutally raw, transcendent courage to write such a book-and yes, confess to such a troubling story."-Bob Shacochis, author of Easy In The Islands"Irene Vilar's dramatic and beautifully drawn story forces the reader to confront the power of sexuality and procreation that often is the only power a young woman perceives she owns in this world. Impossible Motherhood is profound, raw, wrenching, and honest to the bone. Yet despite the title, its message is that no matter how intense the pain one has experienced, healing and redemption are in fact possible."--Gloria Feldt, co-author of the best-selling Send Yourself Roses, author of The War on Choice, and blogger on Powered Women at www.GloriaFeldt.com"Vilar does not mean to advocate on either side of the abortion debate; ranging far beyond the politics of abortion, her book is a controversial and intense tale of generational and national trauma...[Vilar is] a writer of brutal honesty and profound intelligence."-ForeWord Magazine (scheduled review for 9/1/09 issue on IMpossible Motherhood)

Long term depression
Thursday, May 07, 2009, 10:10:52 PM | D. Johnson
First of all, I was writing on the Cats and Dogs discussion boards, but I am assuming this is about depression in human beings. I am an expert here. I have had serious, sometimes suicidal depression for a full 30 years. Only in the past week or so have I felt even a little bit better - more optimism, notice things more, feel sharper in my brain cognitions every day. Of course, this brings on more problems, but I'm trying to cope as best as I can. I've truly forgotten what I was like before this depression hit - I know I was raising 2 kids as a single parent, working full time, going to college at night to get my degree, and taking care of maintenance and yard work, etc. on my house I owned by myself. I look back now that I am considerably older and less healthy and wonder greatly how I could have done all that without going totally insane.So there is hope for those who feel hopeless, who feel like it will never end. I'm not sure this will last, but so far I'm enjoying it, except for this seeming necessity for my brain to break every subject down to its nano-pieces - but then my brain was like that before. I had to retire 8 years ago because the depression was so bad and because I have MS which cannot be cured, and I had a reakdown. I still don't think I could work if I wanted to because my brain cannot handle the sudden input of too much sensory data, so I know the pace of a busy office is more than I could cope with.I've been seeing doctors and therapists since well before 1994 and been on dozens of medications, which I don't mind telling about (some people just will not help themselves when it comes to this disease, they think it's a personal weakness and it's NOT).I have studied this subject on my own and read so much about other cases that I could write a book on the subject, and I may yet do it because I like to write.

From Depression to Hope - Nlp mp3 and Hypnosis mp3 to End Depression
Saturday, March 14, 2009, 10:35:37 AM | Michael J. Emery
What has that depression been keeping you from doing?If it wasn't for depression how would you be different?What is your specific process for feeling depressed? (Sounds strange perhaps, but if you could slow down the moments when you first begin to feel depressed - what would happen with your physiology, your posture, your rate of breathing, would you be saying anything to yourself, where would you be, what would you be doing or considering doing, does your vision seem narrow and focused, or wide and panoramic, do you notice colors or the lack of color?)Does it have highs and lows? Does it come and go? What has been happening right before you feel depressed, what has to happen before you can experience the opposite of depression?Consider downloading this program if you are really determined to end depression, or if you just want to know more about options that will give you better resources to manage depression then this is a program that will help. http://www.amazon.com/Depression-Hope-Nlp-Hypnosis-Experience/dp/B001J72O0M/ref=dm_ap_trk9?ie=UTF8&qid=1237052049&sr=102-1Sincerely,Michael J.

Improved understanding of both depression and anxiety
Saturday, October 04, 2008, 6:04:35 AM | Frank M. DiMeglio
Greetings. What follows is a very valuable and improved understanding/description of both anxiety and depression, including how they are related. Comments and questions are welcome.In both depression and anxiety, the emotional disintegration and contraction of being and experience involves increased feeling at the emotional center of the self. In anxiety, this is consistent with excessive concern, the reduction in the desirability of experience, emotional imbalance (or variability), bodily aches and pains (i.e., emotional disintegration), the mind "going blank", panic attacks (involving a sort of generalized paralysis and loss of experience), etc. Comparatively (and similarly), in depression, there is a contraction, detachment, disintegration, and loss of being and experience that also involves a loss of emotion. The desirability and extensiveness of experience (including memory) in both depression and anxiety is reduced; as there occurs a significant loss involving the comprehensiveness and consistency of both concern and intention. (Desire consists of both intention and concern.) The loss of desire in both depression and anxiety involves a significant reduction in the comprehensiveness and consistency of both intention and concern as they relate to experience in general; and this has the dream-like effect of reducing thought, emotion, and memory, including the desirability and totality of experience as well. Depression is known to involve apathy and a loss of concern. However, the narrowing (or excessive concentration) of concern in anxiety also constitutes an effective, actual, and overall loss of concern (in relation to experience in general). Concern is excessively concentrated and disintegrated in both depression and anxiety. With anxiety, however, concern may be concentrated (or compressed) at an even higher level of feeling, thereby resulting in the feeling of excessive concern, panic, the mind "going blank", etc. Ideally, concern is balanced and improved in conjunction with an increase in the comprehensiveness and consistency of intentionality in regard to experience. Elevated and sustained desire and energy are connected with both courage and genius, and with the advancement of consciousness and life as well. In opposition to this, the disintegration and contraction (and this includes detachment) of being and experience go hand in hand. In depression and anxiety, being and experience become excessively (and increasingly) dream-like, inanimate, and unconscious. In considering the excessively dream-like (and unconscious) nature of depression and anxiety, consideration should also be given to the fact that the emotional experience of the dream even includes the experience of touch. Emotion is differentiated (and manifest) as sensory experience and feeling. Emotional disintegration may include emotional pain.I am the author of the new book Human Being: Self, Desire, and Consciousness here at Amazon.com. More about anxiety and depression is included in the book. Frank Martin DiMeglio

depression - no jobs
Tuesday, August 05, 2008, 3:12:25 AM | Alexandra
There's no book which can help me how to be more positive...Why? Because it's really impossible to feel good when you don't have a job and you spent a great deal of money for your education. When you live in a country where nobody wants to hire you because you are over 35 - it's really depressing. There are no doctors that can help in such situations. Bills have to be paid, food have to be bought...

PUPPY CHOW IS BETTER THAN PROZAC by Bruce Goldstein

Hi everybody,11 years ago, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After therapy and tons of antidepressants, it wasn't until God sent down Ozzy, my furry little angel, that I began to heal. Ozzy was a 6 week-old, black Lab puppy, and he only came with one side effect: Unconditional Slobbery Love.After Ozzy helped heal me, I wanted to help other people battling depression so I decided to write a book about our experience. It's called PUPPY CHOW IS BETTER THAN PROZAC. It's the true story of how Ozzy saved my life.Please check out our website for a free excerpt and puppy photos that will make you melt.Woof!Bruce and Ozzyp.s. let us know what you think when you read it:bruceandozzy@gmail.com

Members of this community may be interested in a book written by Elizabeth Maynard Schaefer, titled Writing Through the Darkness. It explains how writing has helped the author, and members of a writing group that she leads, to deal with depression and bipolar disorder.
