Hey guys, its fan.
Im off deplin because it was too expensive. Well Prozac is still very vital too me, its the best. Alot of other antidepressants, Zoloft increased my energy to end it. Usally if im not on any antidepressant, im just sad and low on energy. Zoloft gave me many thoughts, that i didnt like. Prozac is the opposite, it gives me energy and gives me life....
Umm....... well i have been having alot stuff going on in life right now, um alot of paranoia, no im not schizophrenic, i already had that checked. I just have thoughts that haunt me, and i cant even function. Im still under control of my parents even thought im 20, i need to move...very soon. But i need to know how to cope on my own in an apartment, not flip out and scare the neighbors! ROFL!!
I know i havent been responding to my posts but i read them. Im seeing on-campus counselors who have taken the place of a cousulor. But i cant relly too much on someone when i flip out, i have to talk to myself. I have alot of coping mechanism, persona's i put that im perfectly fine, when really inside i know im dying. Really i never knew when i was a kid, or a teenager how to cope, so i made some coping mechanisms up. And today im a pretty strong person.
I have paranoia what is going to happen? fear.... im scared. Im scared if i did something wrong...something terrible will happen (why? because terrible things do happen....my life is scattered, my mother is a control freak and at the same time my enenemy but she wants me out of the house) I've lost 2 phones, a very expensive jacket someone stole, leaving my keys in the car, there just so many simple life things that kill me.
Having a therpist will not help, because i cant call him/her everytime im having a breakdown. First of all, my psychitrist doesnt return my phone calls! because of my mother!
I mean, just life, i have to almost have imaingary friends that help me (even though i do have many real friends and aquatanices, some of them think im just a bit nervous...ya think?) i mean i have no one to talk to about normal living.
Im very normal in my appereance, the way i function, everything, i would say im pretty good looking too, but life is just a hardache for me.
Well, i bet your a bit tired by now, so just keep fan in your thoughts.
i'll take care of myself. and you take care too.

> Having a therpist will not help, because i cant call him/her everytime im having a breakdown.
No. You can't call a therapist every time you're having a "breakdown."
But working with a therapist can help you learn behavioral options which may reduce the number of those "breakdowns."
>First of all, my psychitrist doesnt return my phone calls! because of my mother!
I don't understand? Why would your psychiatrist fail to return your calls because of your mother? Has she told him not to return your calls? Does she still go to your appointments with you?

> I mean, just life, i mean i have no one to talk to about normal living.
>You've posted here many times about the problems you've been having for a very long time now. You've received a great deal of advice, much of which does discuss "normal living."
Here are some questions I hope you'll answer:
1. What is it you're looking for? Do you want to stop having the sorts of mood swings you seem to have? Reduce the anxiety you report here? Improve your ability to function? What is the outcome you're hoping for?
2. How much effort, if any, are you willing to make in order to reach that goal? Be realistic -- if the only effort you're willing to make is swallowing a pill, be honest about it; if you're willing to do more, be realistic about what you can do.
3. What, specifically, do you think it would take to obtain the outcome you desire? What steps could you take to reach that goal? The more specific you can be, the better the chance that something good will come of it.
4. Can you think of any professional you could work with to help you reach that goal?
By the way, school counselors are often quite good, but their goal is to help you get through school. They're not usually focused on issues beyond those required to complete your schooling. It might be worth looking into additional options.
By the way, my feelings get hurt when you consistently fail to respond to my posts to you. My feelings get hurt when you do respond, but not to anything I've said to you. Sometimes I ask myself why I take the time to answer you, when my feelings are hurt by the lack of response. I feel as though my time and my advice have not been respected, and sometimes I get angry about it. In response to my feelings, I remind myself that you're very young, and that I often see you as young beyond your years, which is probably why I do answer so often. I remind myself that posting to you is a choice I've made for myself, and that you may not actually want the advice I have offered over the years.
If you don't want me to continue answering you and offering you advice, let me know. I certainly have other things I could put the time into.
Good luck.

Hey hey! ok here we go 3.........2...........1 lets go!
1. What is it you're looking for? Do you want to stop having the sorts of mood swings you seem to have? Reduce the anxiety you report here? Improve your ability to function? What is the outcome you're hoping for?
++Im looking for success in life, and reaching my goals but im always plagued by things, (things at home) that interfere. In a way, i dont want to constantly be in same state all the time. Anxiety is very plaguing to me, but it stimulates my butt to get things done! i have to get them done or i'll fail, i'll fail my life's ambition. Improve abulity to function??? i would definently say that a therpist and Dexedrine would help. My overall ambition i made 3 years working for a broker firm such as Merrill Lynch, being an executive. S-U-C-C-E-S-S
2. How much effort, if any, are you willing to make in order to reach that goal? Be realistic -- if the only effort you're willing to make is swallowing a pill, be honest about it; if you're willing to do more, be realistic about what you can do.
++Well, i almost kill myself just reaching small goals, but i know that i am going to make it, it may not seem like it right now.Swallowing a pill, now at one time i thought there was the magic medication to help me get to my Star Goal. Now i realize its myself inside, pride, ego, willpower, and i will tell you, lately i have been going crazy to get things done, because it must be done! i always was the "slow one" who didnt catch on very quickly.
3. What, specifically, do you think it would take to obtain the outcome you desire? What steps could you take to reach that goal? The more specific you can be, the better the chance that something good will come of it.4. Can you think of any professional you could work with to help you reach that goal?
two awnsers, its the advice of the professional therpist to give me, change my thoughts and thinking patterns i so little of myself, then its up to me to use willpower and ambition to get the hell out there and make it!
Now i admit, seriously if you met me in person....im a good looking guy, but im so freaked out "where are my KEYS!" OH NO!!!!!!!!! I LOST THEM AGAIN!
Did you know i was on campus serching for my backpack with 500$ books and all my work in it, and i found out i just left in the gym. I never had the satisfaction of finding them, because i was so upset and nuerotic, THIS IS ALL MY WORK I LOST! DANMIT! Its these things that i think i subcousisouly do, like not paying attention, forget where my stuff is, but i sure do have fun doing it! not!Thanks, i hope now you know me a bit better. Plus you have known me for years, but i've changed since high school. In collage right now.....
I do admit i wished there was a magic pill to take, like with concetration, so i could be more calm, focused, and driven. But nope, its just on my willpower right now...
Alright racer! by the no one else posted......i guess there not a fan of your#1fan

----First of all it would be me thinking and planning things on my own. Finding a success (career) and go for it!
My steps, i would get advice for 100 people proably because i luve to have diffrent viewpoints
The goal, i want to be successful, weathly, and turn my life around and become a more buiness person with power. Right now im just like 20? I've got alot of years to go, and alot of thinking to do if im going to be a success, in the broker field, maybe acting.....but acting is more hobby...its too hard to compete, actually more hard than the buisness realm!
Wish me luck! but ill still be around here.
