when to get help

By skye Saturday, December 15, 2007

im not sure about most of this. mental illness is on both sides of my family. my uncle on my fathers side is  paranoid schizophrenic. my mother has SAD and panic attacks and a nervous breakdown. as a teen i tired to kill myself. im now almost 30 and a female. i tend to "daydream" alot. i have very low self esteem.  have never had many friends. before i started taking birth control, my pms was worse. that when i thoughts of hurting myself. but the yaz has stopped it for the most part. and when i do get them its easy to stop.

at times i sleep alot and at times i cant. but i dont know how much working nites affects that. and most of the time sex= work..not fun. i just dont want to start going to a dr and not need to. thank you

Hi skye,

 

It's my opinion that you should definitely see a doctor because your symptoms get progressively worse and then it's possible you might become treatment resistant to some degree--probably not to a large degree.  I'm sure there is a medication that will help you.  Feel free to e-mail me. Good luck.

Hello skye,

 

I agree with David, the medication could halt your condition from becoming more serious than it already is.

 

I suggest you seek help.

 

Feel free to write in and let us know how it's going.

 

Regards,

Christina
