I have some problems..?
-
I'll try and be as brief but detailed as possible, first of all I broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years, ofcourse I thought I was in love. In the time we were together, she was rather possessive, I found that she had somehow managed to isolate me from everyone, as a result, I don't have a friend left in the world. She has a new boyfriend, but claimed she still cared and would always be there for me, I thought that would be enough so I managed to cope (I know boo hoo). The problem now is that Im sort of "afraid" to go out, I can't socialize or make friends, I can't do anything but sit at home and play retarded video games. People have told me I need a life, but that doesn't help, I know that, the problem is that I physically can't do anything. And then things got worse, my 20 year old brother died, it's been hell, now I found myself feeling extremely low (Not that I'm saying I should be doing the polka or anything) , I've gained 5 stone, I can't sleep, and I can't get up in the morning. Ofcourse my ex being the only friend I had, I went to her , but she basically showed no interest, she just ignored me. I don't blame her, it's not her problem and it's not really fair for me to pile all my problems on her when she has her own life to get on with. The key problem is that I have no one to physically talk to, and the way things are going I never will. I just natter on to myself, feeling crappy all day, and it's led me to much worse problems, Like thinking about suicide, I'm not sure I'd do it but it's still no way for anyone to live. I didn't think I had any problems, I see other people have much worse things happening in there lives and they just carry on, but for some reason it seems I can't. Will a pyciatrist be of any help to me? and is a pscyotherapist the same thing? because that is all I can find, and ofcourse can any of you think of any other solutions to my problem? (Other than getting a life) I don't need sympothy, I need practical help.

Answer:
I do think that you should visit a therapist b/c is seems as if you been dealing with a lot and have a lot of emotions that you need to talk about, and since you dont friends anymore a therapist can help. I also think that a good way to start back up with you social life would be to go out with family...depending on your age you can go out to a night club or even go out bowling, and start talking to different ppl there...you could even go to the supermarket and start up a conversation, it might seem a little weird but I think you not having anyone to talk to is sad, b/c we could all use friends...also dont rule out myspace or facebook its a good way to meet ppl even if your friendship is only online.

the moment you say suicide, you need to get some help. get a therapist and he/she will help you straiten out your life
Well you sound like a pretty cool, smart person to me...just really down. Hava chat to your dr and he/she will refer you to either psychologist or psychiatrist. The difference between the 2 is the pyschiatrist can prescribe medication if you need. Ive been to both before I felt like I was crazy but found it very resurring to hear that I wasn't crazy because theres was a solution wether it be through talking or meds :) and also that other people go through the same things made me feel like I wasnt alone. You sound like your going through a very hard time but strike me as a toughy so make sure you see your doc and u be ok:) you will return to your normal social self.
get a therapist(sp) and if you don't have enough money or some lame-*** excuse call 1-800-suicide
Grief related depression (Loss of brother, and relationship) seems likely. I am very sorry for your loss. Some suggestions, and resources follow: Call: The Grief Recovery Institute (U.S.A.) 1-800-445-4808, or Hospice (phone book). Email [email protected] Chatrooms and forums: http://www.chatmag.com/topics/health/grief.html and http://talkingminds.15.forumer.com/ and http://messageboards.ivillage.com/ Other websites: www.griefnet.org/ and www.helpguide.org/ (coping, supporting others, loss of relationship, or pet) and www.mental-health-abc.com/ and www.boblivingstone.com/?q=node30 and www.crusebereavementcare.org.uk/ There is a grief support group at: http://dailystrength.org/ Also try Groups, at Myspace.com and Yahoo.com & Google.com At www.mind.org.uk/ type "grief" in the taskbar, and enter. Helping others grieve, and helping children grieve are some topics at: www.crisiscounseling.com/TraumaLoss/Grie… and for children: http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/grief.html?pageNum=6 and www.childrensgrief.net/ and http://www.childgrief.org/ Understand that there are often several stages of grief. Those stages are: Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible") Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my son graduate." Depression: "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?" Acceptance: "It's going to be alright. Growth: Grief is a chance for personal growth. For many people, it may eventually lead to renewed energy to invest in new activities and new relationships. Some people seek meaning in their loss and get involved in causes or projects that help others. Some people find a new compassion in themselves as a result of the pain they have suffered. They may become more sensitive to others, thus enabling richer relationships. Others find new strength and independence they never knew they had. After the loss, they find new emotional resources that had not been apparent before. Kübler-Ross originally applied these stages to any form of catastrophic personal loss (job, income, freedom). This also includes the death of a loved one and divorce. Kübler-Ross also claimed these steps do not necessarily come in order, nor are they all experienced by all patients, though she stated a person will always experience at least two.See www.amazon.com/ for books on the various stages. After a while, consider making a photoalbum/scrapbook and/or a shrine, in remembrance, and set aside; say; one day every month, perhaps on a significant date, (for example; the 17th, or the second thursday) on which to reflect. Many religious organisations offer counselling, or you may feel more comfortable with a therapist, to express your thoughts, and feelings. Journalling may help in this. Celebrate that life; be thankful for the experience, and remember the good times. If there is depression: visit your doctor, and see depression treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris in section 2. ; view page R first. Also see: EMOTIONAL CONTROL. EMOTIONAL THOUGHT STOPPING: PAGE L, in section 2, at ezy build, and page N, in section 6, on negative thoughts & images. If you practice, and become proficient in one of the relaxation techniques, it enables awareness, and a way of being, without emotional suffering, and helps you through the more difficult times in life.

I am sorry for the loss of your brother. Life is a learning process and sometimes things don't work out the way we hope, but it does not mean you give up trying. You can do whatever you think you can do. If that means to you, doing nothing, then that is what you will do. But, if it means getting up and starting over to find something new, then you will do that. Definitely see a psychiatrist. You will be amazed how talking to someone will help you. A psychotherapist interacts with patients to initiate change in the patient's thoughts, feelings, and behavior through adaptation. A psychiatrist can be a psychotherapist, and usually is. Check it out on line using "psychotherapist" as the key search word. OK? take care...
