I'm scared about going to the hospital. What am I going to tell my parents. I don't want them to get all nervous and freak out.
 
I'm really debating on going to the hospital. I'm scared out of mind. I don't feel mentally right. I was reading something where someone went through a mental breakdown and he lost touch with reality and that scared me. Like, what if that happens to me. I don't know what to do right now :(
 
I hope you take the therapists advice......good luck, and please keep us posted.
 
You can still go to the hospital and they will help you. Explain that you don't want your parents contacted. There should be a patient doctor confidentiality of some sort...please reply
Thinkong of you!

I've checked myself into a mental hospital before, at the time it helped a little bit. I take medication and all that. I see a therapist once a week.
 
Well, I admitted myself into a mental hospital last week. Anxiety is one of my problems, but they said my biggiest problem is ocd. Mainly just obsessions I guess it co-exists with anxiety. I really still don't feel that great. Frequent suicidal thoughts and I'm having conversations with myself in my head or it's me thinking im not 100% sure but its driving me crazy where I can't stop thinking. It's really bothering me. I can't focus on anything at all. I feel so disconnected. I may need some med adjustments they tried me on a quite a few things while I was there. Currently I'm on ativans, arabien, and Clomipramine.
 
Jeff,

So did you go the hospital yet? Are you feeling any better regardless?

I know your going through a rough patch brother and I really wish I had more the offer you than just worRAB of understanding and encouragement. which unfortunately probably seem empty for you.

But believe me Jeff I've been right were you are and did get better and you will get better.

Have some faith, force yourself to think positive no matter how hard it is. Keep repeating to yourself that you are fine and you need to stop wasting your life and energy thinking and worrying about nonsense.

Keeping telling yourself how beautiful life is and that you want to enjoy it and live a fruitful and productive life.

Set yourself some big goals and spend your energy thinking about and trying to achieve those goals.

Another thing that would be great for you is to change your diet (unless you already do eat healthy). Eat fresh and clean fooRAB. Cut out the sodas, potato chips, etc... Also eat light don't eat huge meals. I always tell people you don't have to eat till your stuffed.

And the biggest is to start yourself on a fitness plan. Join a gym, start lifting weights. Start a running program. And keep with it and stay consistent, you can't imagine how great youi will start to feel both mentally and physically. The sense of accomplishment is and good feeling can't be put into worRAB, you will feel amazing. If you haven't exercised is a while and need some advice and how start your fitness plan, let me know. Like you I'm a smoker and a year ago, I could not run for .2 of a mile, today I run 6 niles 4 to 5 days a week. Actually I look forward to my runs.

Good Luck and post us with the latest!

Take Care!!!!
 
It wont Jeff you will be fine.

beleive me Bro. I know exactly how you feel to tee.

I assure you will stillb be around and ok for many years to come.

You are just becoming a man and going through changes and sometimes its a little freaky. I think people like us just take it to an extreme because of our over thinking.

I didnt see you write this yesterday otherwise I would have responded faster.

How are you feeling today?
 
I'm glad you got some help. It does sound like you need a medication adjustment. Hang in there, things will definitely get better!!:)
 
I have anxiety too. You are right, it feels terrible. I feel like my head is going to explode into little tiny pieces at times. Anxiety makes me pace up and down a lot, i can't sit still and i keep worrying all the time. I get panic attacks mostly when i meet people from the past as well. I have been seeing a psychotherapist every two weeks and it helps. My medication, i feel doesn't help as much as it should. Perhaps you need a 'tune up' of your meRAB like me? Hope this helps. I have bipolar disorder but i take lexapro for my anxiety.
 
Thank you for all your inspiration. I appreciate it so much you have no idea. I'm doing a little better my meRAB calmed me down a little bit, but I'll keep posting you guys. You guys are awesome! :cool:
 
Wow, I get like that too. Thank you for posting. I've been on so many different meRAB and none seem to be working. I used to be on zoloft it was working for a year then it stopped. I'm currently on risperidone, doesn't really help at all. I'm constantly stressed out, feels like my mind is all over the place. I have ocd pretty bad which is driving my anxiety extremely high too.
