Who ever read this post i am seriously in high anxiety right now.
I dont know what is going on in my body, or mind, i dont know, i dont recognize somethings, i had disturbing dreams that i almost thought where reality when i woke up.
This is the first time i have came back and posted for some REAL help.
Im expereincing right now high anxiety, feeling not real, feeling im possesed by a spirit and i am not trying, i cant even think right now, im staring at the computer BLIZT. Its 8:43am right now, i have off from work, Im getting thoughts in my head that are not mine, and i am serious, im not trying to at all trying to tell it any other way. Im scared beyound fear. Im putting my hands over my mouth, i dont know what is happening, i've had instablity like this before, but this was years ago, now its worse, its just came back.
My mom thinks im fine, i dont need to go the doctor, the only way i can i have full control over what when i see the doctor is when i move out of this house. I have been fine until right now.
But please dont ask me about the doctor, im need some support, i dont know what is happening if im losing my, i dont know if im possesed, i had a very disturbing dream, i dont want to talk about it.
Xanax last night did not calm this down, maybe because im too tolerant? i took 3mg! this would not go away, i got up, i could not sleep, its worse this morning. Oh god, please tell me that im not tolerant to xanax.
If there is anyone one out there reading this, i need your help. I am seriously having anxiety reactions, almost near psychotic reactions, i almost dont feel real, im walking around like im a mental patient, im not like this at all, never, that why im thinking this dream had something to do with this.
Please respond with anything.
Matt

Hey dude,With someone who has 'mental isues' you need to:
-Check yourself into a mental health facility
-See a Psych ASAP.You need some medical assistance, ASAP, way more than any ?~mgs Xanax can provide.
Do your family, PB, and above all, YOURSELF a favour and get a handle on your medical situation for the sake of your life!!!.
Cheers

Ok im back. I went for a drive, went to the store, bought somethings to try to get this off my mind. If i dwell on it, it will just sink more.
Its now exactly 1 hour since i posted this, im better, when i woke up i didnt know if i was in reality or not. Thats why i made this post an emerency, i didnt know if what i was typing was a dream.
Listen, i dont want to be label as some person with "mental issues", forgive me paul, that just, well does sound reasonable because this post sounds like someone who lost it. Im still here, im stablizing, i woke up in complete instablity, my head was spinning, vertigo, de-ja-vu, having thoughts that where not mine! i thought i was posssesed. I had a dream about, well if your a religious person you would understand, i thought something took over my body. Thats why i still am still paniced. Im not taking Xanax until later today and see what will happen.
I got out, just got in my car and just drove, turned on music, try to get myself back to where i was, like rerembering music. Went to the store, bought some things to eat, which now i regret because i bought these stupid Zebra Cakes, i ate one and now i wished i didnt buy it. I bought some Slim Fast. Drank one, so it will crave off hunger.
Im should of ask a pharmacist what is going on? at the store where the pharmacy is. I couldnt explain it, i just tried to forget about this.
Ok I am sane, compared to this 1 hour ago i thought i wasnt even myself i thought i was having thoughs, well i was having thought that where not mine!
I still feel wierd, maybe if i just turm on something that will distract this it will go away.
I have dealed with this in the past, if you want to babblemail me, ill tell you what really went on a couple years ago, its too intese to put on psychobabble.

MATT,
Are you seeing a specialist?
Alot of the folks on this board think you are probably, bipolar.
Are you taking MSs or APs?
There is help there to live a stable sane life if you choose.Accept the choice-??

you know in light of the VA shootings and the serious effects of psychotic reactions in some individuals (& you did say/suggest you might be psychotic) - I don't see the point in consulting a pharmacist when in fact, what you are suggesting in your post is that you actually need to speak to a trained MH professional.
Please put triggers in your posts so I know enough not to read them anymore - thanks.

Paul
No im not seeing a psychologsist which i do need to be seeing, my mother, as long as i live in this house hold i have to, fight to get treatment.
Paul, what do you think i want the most? i want serenity, i want peace, i want sane, not just some nut case that doesnt have control of my own life, i think alot of this is caused by some reasons if you babble me.
I cant control how i woke up this morning, im just now starting to try to stablize, i went for a drive, store, tried to get it off my mind.
AND OF COURSE i will accept the choice to be sane, but living stable for me somethimes is not a choice. I have to deal with all these things, i cant concentrate, right now im think im coming back to my senses, just pray that.
Paul why would you think i wouldnt chose to be sane? im asking for help. I going to go talk to a pharamcist because there is one right down the street. My doctor is 45min-hour away. And plus my mother is unstable herself, she cant handle stress.
And paul i doubt im bipoler, i think i just have some nervous condition thats it. Also with what just happened. I may switch to lithium.
Ok rerember we used to support eachother when you where asking about dexedrine and i told you to just be percistant at it, rerember i helped you?
So please lets be ok......ok?
Everything is going to be ok..........
Just i need to go maybe pray or lay down.

I feel a pharmacist is going to give the same advice people I have seen given to you on this board and other boards for several years now. Seeking face to face help from a pdoc or hospital setting. I think that advice is the only correct, prudent and ethical advice you should be given. I wish you would consider taking it. By your own admission, your instablity of mood, behavior and thoughts has been very long-standing. Your posts have made this evident to most who have frequented this board over weeks, months and years.
I wish you would seek AND would get the help I think you very much need.

You know the Nike motto, "Just Do Something" You are a responsible adult and your parent can't hold you back from seeing your psychiatrist. The first thing is too get yourself stable on medication, then you will be able to deal with any other problems in your life. It is not within the scope of practice for your neighborhood pharmacist to give advice as to your med regime and or your diagnosis if thats what you are seeking. They can advise you on side effects/contraindications if thats what your seeking. You are never going to know unless you try to find out if you have an underlying bipolar disorder (which you stated the doctor thinks you have) unless you get on a routine mood stabilizer. You can get your doctor to call something in for you.

Thank you Paul. Ditto to you post. Are some people in denial?? I give up. I have tried to help him, however, I'm not really sure he wants it. You can only give so much support and the rest is up to him.Polarbear

>>>Im not crazy at all, one cine woman im i know what you think, that man was very unstable -
& then say

Matt, when you say you are being possessed by a spirit (you said that in your first post!) - I actually don't know what you think, except by the content of what you *yourself* post.
I didn't respond to anything except what you *yourself* posted. What would've you liked me or anyone else to think, especially with posts on multiple boards that say "emergency, something is very wrong".
>>>I have been in mental (1) hospital before, those people scared me to death, thought they where audrey hepurn rencarneated! thought they where sedusa, the some other nut case thought they where the woman in the bible that was serving wine in frount of the beast. I said can you please excuse me just a second........ to the bathroom..... i left. I dont ever want to go back to such a depressing crazy, miserable place.
People who have delusions & are in a mental hospital are *nut cases*? Really?
They are not *nut cases" as you say - & thinking you're audrey hepburn is really no different from thinking you are possessed by a spirit, IMO. Both people are deserving of help, respect, and dignity.
Please don't call anyone a nut case.
Especially on a mental health site.

Let me get some thing clear with you,
I was posting posts that where very long. And they just disappered when the interet cut off. Im angry about that.
2nd of all, if you dont want, you know what thats fine, dont give me any advice you know......
I posted what the heck i was feeling when i woke up, and now you just trying to attack me? sorry maybe i'll change my posting name.Polerbear i will have to babblemail you. I dont really get it what you said when some like this has happened.
I'll help myself. I didnt think you would post something like that.
I do take Zyprexa, im not liek this all the time, it was just this one time that i just posted that there was something wrong. You i guess i exepted something else. Read the bottem part of this....
Polerbear i thank you for your advice, and paul too, i dont know whats wrong, everything is fine now, but now i cant calm down after what was said.
And i am sorry for not responding to posts, rerember i told you that sometiems Prozac hinders me from posting, it does i dont know what to say sometimes, forgive me im sorry, but fine you can post all to other people posts exept mine.
Im not a chronic person like this. This only happened just this one time, and already you
"Thank you Paul. Ditto to you post. Are some people in denial?? I give up. I have tried to help him, however, I'm not really sure he wants it"I am not going to be put on haldol. I would exept maybe in a "series" of posts asking this kind of help for you to say something like that. Im sorry, but only one time i just said this and YOUR acting like i just wont listen, i have never posted somelike this before, maybe a couple years ago, and then i helped myself. But now i just came for advice, you know what that just really inferiates fire inside of me.
You know what polerbear, i think maybe i will do that, what do you tihnk i have been doing these past years? huh? trying to help myself, i have been going to doctors and everything, been to mental hostial which was horrible. I really dont apprience that.

This morning was HELL for me.
I have never felt so unstable at that i dont know hwat happened, ok? I DID feel that there was something in my body, and i need to babblemail and tell you something that know here know's.
"People who have delusions & are in a mental hospital are *nut cases*? Really?"Really? Why do they call themselves themselves nut cases while i was inthere, i made a friend with a lady who was full blown BI poler when she was manic, she was blast, she said oh come on lets go in here with all of us nut cases. Even thought maybe some people didnt like her, me and her where friends. She called her self a nut case,
Im so sorry to label people with severe problems that where out of control nut cases. Maybe im a nut case?
Yes maybe this is a trigger, but i tell you i am the proably most frustrated person here on this site with there life. You know.
"Please don't call anyone a nut case."
I have never called anyone here a nut case, exept outside outside, espcially that people that make me a nut case.Ok are clear?

conentartion problems (severely) - actally i will put that to an exent, i have bad problems with focus.
Thank you for advice, but i dont want to go to a inpatinet, im not like this all the time, just this one morning i was out of sorts bad nad i needed to get something out. I posted this in emergency for someone to tell advice.
Thank you for advice, go to a psyche couselor again? i went there and thats when they first diagnosed me with symtoms of hypomania.

In reply to Re: I am really angry - one woman cine, posted by rjlockhart on April 27, 2007, at 12:05:50
I am sorry you're angry. -
I'm feeling frustrated myself.
If you are unstable, the best advice anyone can give you is to seek RL help. Every single person who posted (every single one) supported you to go do that. To get help IRL, if you believe you are being possessed by spirits, possibly having a seizure, and are unstable.
>>>>i need to babblemail and tell you something that know here know's.
Please don't babblemail, me.
Please, please don't.
All I am saying is, if you are so unstable as to feel possessed by a spirit, a pharmacist cannot help you.
I'll say it again, in cases of crisis or unstability, you need to seek the advice of Mental Health professional. Preferably a pdoc.
If you don't take my advice, or anyone elses - that's OK, but that's your choice. Which I respect 100%.
>>>Im so sorry to label people with severe problems that where out of control nut cases.
Matt, as someone said - "labels are for clothes and files - not for people" - calling anyone a nutcase within the context of a mental health site is not appropriate and I hope in the future you re-consider ever using that term to describe anyone with a mental illness. Thanks.

~~~ You do seem (to me) to post in crisis quite frequently. I think people are concerned and mostly I have seen posts that are sound advice about what might could be of help to you. Prehaps sometimes people post in a manner that may display their frustration but, in general, I think people are trying to be of help.While you may find your problem this morning to be an isolated and rare event, I'm not sure I think it is based on other posts I've read by you. That's not a judgement, it is simply a preception. Asking for help from this board is fine but any help suggested here has huge limitations. Feeling helpless to help another can feel very frustating, I know it feels that way to me.

It sounds like a psychotic episode that needs IMMEDIATE medical intervention. 3 mg of Xanax is not a effective response to the situation (for some people, that's just a moderate dose for somewhat severe anxiety).In all sincerity, the next time this happens, don't go to Babble, go to the doctor! Then come back and tell everyone about the help you got. That's what's most important.

Maybe the zyprexa is not working? Did you go off it, or take less? Maybe a higher dose or a different med would work better. Just a thought. Or maybe just a stage in life you are dealing with.
Its also highly likely that you need an AD that works.
