09 Dec 06 - 02:48 AM (#1904266) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: GUEST,patient I was treated for acute depression for several years and managed never to talk about it to anyone apart from my GP, psychologist and psychiatrist. I felt irrationally that it was shameful to be ill in that way. I didn't talk to family or friends about it and still can't. This hindered treatment by drugs and therapy and I still have the problem of wanting to be dead for quite a lot of the time. I think you've done the right thing to declare your problem it may help any treatment to work. Your friends sound as if they can and will help. |

09 Dec 06 - 03:54 AM (#1904282) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: Big Al Whittle Its one of the great unsaids in our society. go into any room anywhere and about 40% of the people there have had some sort of mental problems. I know I had depression for a while, its weird trick that your mind plays on you, gives you panic attacks and such. If you've had to cope with loss of some sort - it lies in wait for us. I think accepting that, was the point for me when I started to get better. After that I could start working on getting rid of some of the physical problems it had engendered. What also worked for me was getting a load of books from the library about the illness. the more I understood about what was happening to me - the less easy it was for my mind to trick me. loads of people have gone through what you're going through and some of them have written about it. You are not unique. Its a problem which others before you have had to face, and most of them manage to see it off, and live normal lives. all best wishes mate! Big Al Whittle |

09 Dec 06 - 07:57 AM (#1904398) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: Jerry Rasmussen Hey, Rap: You should feel happy about openly admitting that you are mentally ill (or depressed, or whatever term you want to use.) Accepting that you are ill is rejecting the belief that there is something inherently wrong with you. It's also the beginning of the healing process. I think that you'll find that not being intimidated by mental illness is the greatest weapon against it. Many, many years ago a lifetime of thinking myself worthless, and seeking some fragile sense of value in trying to please others finally brought me to my knees, and I ended up checking myself in to a pyschiatric ward. Seventeen days later, I was released and came out roaring like a lion. It was downright exhilarating, stepping back into a world that had always overwhelemed me, facing it head on. All the old problems were there, and I'd created a lot of new ones by going in to the psychiatric ward. But, I didn't care. That was the beginning of a brand new life for me, and I think that you will find the same excitement in yours. Yesterday, I was talking to my closest friend who is being pulled under by very, very serious problems not of his making. In our conversation, he said, "I'll be alright, because this will pass." And I told him, "You're right, Joe: there are a lot of good days still to come." And then, I spent the rest of the evening softly singing to myself. A song that I wrote many years ago could have been lifted out of our conversation yesterday: "One thing certain we all know All things will come to pass So when the darkness blinds the light We know it will not last For the good old days are still to come Though the hard times are not over For we must wear that thorny crown To walk the fields of clover." And you'll be walking those fields, Rap: Keeping you in prayer. Jerry |

09 Dec 06 - 10:53 AM (#1904526) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: *daylia* Hey Raptor, here's a little anecdote to help cheer you up a little ... the other day one of my 5-yr-old piano students started "losing it" half way through my oh-so-interesting explanations/demonstrations of the mysteries and intricacies of the Eyes glazing over, she was gazing at the fishbowl and suddenly piped up with "Oh you have a FISH! What's your fish's name?" Deciding to humour her a little, I told her I haven't named that one yet -- my last fish was called Mikey though. "Is it a boy or a girl?" she asked. "Gee I really don't know ..." I replied. At which point she seemed lost in thought for a moment, staring away at the fish, then turned to me and confided "I have X-ray eyes, you know." "Oh really?" I said. "Yup! I can see right through your fish's skin. Its a BOY!" A bit taken aback, I giggled and said "Wow Maeve, are you sure" "Yup -- he has a penis" she said .... and by now she was staring at me like she'd been at the fish. "I can see right through your clothes you know" she said. "Oh, you can eh?" I laughed. "I can see all of your skin and even your BONES! And you DON'T have a penis!" Well, if I was a bit taken aback before by now my brain was on overload. How to respond to something like this?!? So I stood up, checked my torso out carefully and said "You know, you're right Maeve. I DON'T have a penis, and I'd probably be in real big trouble if I did! Now, could we just focus on our MUSIC? PLEEEEEAAAAAASEE!" HA! I won't be forgetting that one for a long long time! And my recommendation, Raptor, on top of all the other good good things you're doing is to spend as much time as possible with children under the age of 6. Their innocence and joyfulness go a long way toward making Life more Liveable! All the best -- and call me sometime eh? daylia |

09 Dec 06 - 02:04 PM (#1904671) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: GUEST,Never Been There...Yet! I think you are only mentally ill if you Do Not give all your love and compassion to the new Lady in your life. Yesterday is dead and gone. Your wife loved you, now you need to share that love and more with this new light of your life. Finding a good woman is hard enough, much less one with such musical talents. You have had at least two good women so far! Sure, seek professional help but do not pass this opportunity up. I think we are all "mixed-up" mentally and those that are able to keep above depression etc. just have more of certain chemicals affecting particular areas of the brain than others. Exercise, prescription medication, and therapy will help. Keep a positive attitude too. I admire the honesty of the members of this forum. You are not alone Raptor! You are a brave man. Now be all the man you can be and more. |

09 Dec 06 - 02:49 PM (#1904700) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: Little Hawk Hmmm. Now I understand. Yeah, falling seriously in love can totally disarrange your life and you're getting caught in some very conflicted feelings there. You figure you don't deserve it! That's heavy. Sounds like you've split into two and one half of you is punishing the other half for being "unfaithful" or "unworthy"... You know, all I can say about it is this: love is not something to be exclusively owned or hoarded. It's something to be given, something to be shared. To hoard it...to hide it away...I'd say that's almost like a sin. (and I don't even like using the word 'sin', normally speaking) Accordingly, I don't see that you have anything to be guilty about at all. |

09 Dec 06 - 03:48 PM (#1904746) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentally ill From: Stilly River Sage Raptor, It sounds like you've figured out a lot of what your problem is. Being the survivor after your wife's death isn't easy, and now that you're contemplating a new relationship and you know what it feels like to both have and lose that kind of love, you're tearing yourself apart. I've read that having a close friend to talk to can be as good as having a psychiatrist, but in your instance, I think a psychiatrist would be a lot more efficient at helping you through your grief and helping you give yourself permission to love someone new with the same intensity and without reservations (i.e., holding something back to protect yourself in case she goes away, too). I agree with the remark above about not getting into the chemical treatments until you've tried others. Personally, I have always found "the talking cure" of counselling with a trained professional to be sufficient when I was dealing with depression. Good luck. And through all of this, don't forget to feed the birds! :) Maggie (Stilly River Sage) |

10 Dec 06 - 11:58 AM (#1905389) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: Stilly River Sage Sounds like the relationship version of "buyer's remorse," wondering at the last minute if you're ready to move on, to make a big committment. You've described in that sad story a perfect example of someone who should have gotten help and thus avoided that tsunami of guilt emotions at that juncture. I hope it helps Raptor--it probably still doesn't feel good to share that event. SRS |

10 Dec 06 - 01:57 PM (#1905480) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: Little Hawk SINSULL - I think I should mention that Raptor doesn't HAVE anything to feel guilty about in regards to his dead wife (as far as I'm concerned). He treated her extremely well during the entire marriage and he loved her deeply. I know this, because I witnessed it firsthand. He may be feeling guilty, but if so, it's an irrational response in my opinion. Maybe he feels guilty because he wasn't there when she died, and he figures he could have saved her if he had been....but that's NOT his fault! It just happened. There's no such thing as the perfect husband, but he was a darned good one, and a faithful one. |

10 Dec 06 - 07:06 PM (#1905769) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: Stilly River Sage Little Hawk, I don't think anyone is assuming any fault.

Just feeling guilty for being the healthy partner who is still alive. SRS |

I don't think its so much "buyer's remorse" as it is "I don't deserve this". Here's the truth. We all derserve to have whatever happiness we find. Had it been you that had died (was dying...) wouldn't you have wanted your wife to go on with life? to find happiness? You can be happy with your new lady and still hold fond memories of your first wife. Those are your private memories for all your days and nothing can alter what has been and no shame need be attached. Remember, Life is a series of encounters and good byes. That's the nature of the thing. Again I say good luck to you in coming to terms with your new Life. Good things cause stress too, but you will work it out. |

11 Dec 06 - 12:09 AM (#1905986) Subject: RE: BS: I'm mentaly ill From: Stilly River Sage I'm sure there's probably a better analogy than "buyer's remorse," but I was trying to come up with a description for what I presume is a rush of emotion, all tangled up, that is what Raptor is describing. As an aside, but one that may be pertinent, I was trying to buy a house right after my divorce, intending to move a state away, but trying to be close enough to here so my soon-to-be-ex and I could shuttle kids back and forth for visits. I found a perfectly charming location in the mountains east of Albuquerque, and was ready to sign, but when the seller went wacko at a delay in closing and I had to ask for an extension (the delay occurred because of the incompetent attorney hired by my passive-aggressive ex, and the seller demanded an extra $1000 earnest money AND that each of our attorneys write her a letter assuring her that we were getting the divorce and that I would in fact buy her house. Like we would pay our attorneys to conduct this fool's errand of hers). The fact that she was so nuts made it easy enough for me to say "I'm not fooling with her because there is bound to be another delay as long as I have to wait on his attorney" but I knew in my heart of hearts that there was more to it--that the prospect of taking my kids away from their father (I didn't want to live in the state, I still don't) was tearing me up, imagining their unhappiness at the move. I moved to an apartment a mile from the ex, and after a couple of years bought the house I'm in now, about five miles away. This purchase had none of the stress of the last attempt, even though we also had a kind of nutty seller (a family that lives in Jordan in the Middle East with some oddball intermediaries). Deciding if something is appropriate, or if it is timed properly can add a lot of stress. Buying a house is (should be) less stressful than chosing a spouse. Being sure you are getting it right is necessary, and learning how to accept that what you want is okay is an important lesson. SRS |
