Comment on Suicide by Children and Preteens by Janell

My boyfriends 12 year old son hung himself 3 weeks ago (and no he wasnt bullied) and every minute that has passed since has been more than agonizing. In silence I know my boyfriend is playing the blame game…himself, the boys mom, the teachers everyone. I feel helpless in helping him. I have had many friends over the years take their own lives but this feels so different. I just don’t know!

Comment on How to Deal with a Clingy Overbearing Mother by Anthony

Wow. Everything the article says and the comments posted really hit home with me. I’m a 25 year old man and my mom has really made my life a nightmare. She’s driven away friends, micromanages everything.. if I don’t take her calls or respond to texts she’ll call up my work and ask them if I’m in and to transfer to me (even though I don’t have a work phone since I’m a temp). I’ve given up job opportunities because she would tear me apart about them not being good enough money-wise and am literally forced to live at home as a child. Its a really bizarre balance.. I go out to work and the world sees me as this adult man and expects so much.. then I go home and I feel like I’m 8 again. She uses guilt and tries to humiliate me to convince me I can’t leave or function on my own. I’m horrified to think of what psychotic stalking she would do if I were to move out and embarrass me to neighbors and things. I’m just seeing my life go nowhere because she needs to maintain control over it and its tearing me away from the world and progress.

My brother was prescibed anti depressants anti physcotics and imetrex.. plus high blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds. Also there were more. We the family did not have any knowledge of this until he took his own life and the medical examiner brought all his meds out. Could this have made him take his own life… Please help me

I am a dentist and also on wellbutrin for depression. I am 90% sure your upper gum issue is from mouth breathing during sleep. Perhaps the medicine puts you in a deeper plane of sleep than before. If it were a systemic issue, the lower gums would be affected to the same degree. Have your dentist make you a simple upper “bleach tray”. Tell him/her what it is for so they will not trim the tray to just fit around the teeth. It should extend as far on the gum as comfortable. Then at bedtime, put a thin film of vaseline over the gum, then insert the bleach tray. I feel very sure you will get rid of your gum problem. I have many patients with upper sore gums, all caused by mouth breathing during sleep. Good luck. do not buy the drugstore bleach tray that you fit—waste of money

Stopping taking antidepressants, especially Paxil for example, will cause withdrawal symptoms that can last up to 6 weeks for some people. Your symptoms sound more like your ceasing taking Celexa than it does beginning the WB.

I speak from experience. My Paxil withdrawal nearly led me to hospitalization from the severe symptoms. And I’m not alone; almost 1.2 million people have researched Paxil withdrawal at quitpaxil.org. Btw, not affiliated. Just still fighting the worst headache of my life! It’s lasted 3 weeks and no drug is giving me relief.

Wow I thought I had become a freak of nature. Truly. Wellbutrin SR 300 mg HAS caused tremendous hypersexuality for me. I have always had a healthy appetite but due to depression, I began to take Paxil a year ago. BTW avoid PAXIL if at all possible!

I decided to come off the Paxil, which I was concurrently taking with the Wellbutrin, because I had lost the ability to orgasm. When I could, they were extremely weak, unsatisfying, and took a long time to reach.

I stopped taking the Paxil 3 weeks ago, which btw causes tremendous withdrawal symptoms that can totally incapacitate you. I have not been able to turn my head for three weeks without nearly vomiting, and it carries explosive headaches for which I had to go on chemo pain drugs to treat.

At any rate, two days after stopping taking the Paxil, while still taking the Wellbutrin, I experienced 4 orgasms within 5 minutes of sex with my partner. Like a reader posted before me, you constantly tingle and feel desire. I find myself getting aroused at seeing a very muscular man, and begin to get wet (sorry for the detail). Crazily enough my bf and I watched a very short p0rn trailer together, and I began to orgasm without even being touched!

I do not know about being debilitated, but I think about sex constantly and go into my bathroom during the day and masturbate to completion up to 6-9 times. Now, know that these are not small orgasms, but intense, earth shattering ones. I have begun to feel like a freak of nature.

Is there anyone else like me? I am not complaining but I am getting very distracted!

Comment on Dealing with Manipulation, Guilt, Emotional Abuse, and Self-Pity by Andy Wu

Andy Wu — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:29:24 +0000

Dear Jane,

I like your article and your answers very much. Actually, I am a Chinese.

Recently, I’ve read several articles about emotional manipulation. Unfortunately, I found that I am a typical person with emotional manipulation issue. It is until now I figure out why my girlfriend dump me. I really hate myself, but I don’t know a way to cure this mental illness.

I’ve searched almost all the articles talking about emotional manipulation written in Chinese. However, these articles just tell me how to recognise people with the issue of emotional manipulation and how to deal with these people, none of them have taught me how to cure this psychological illness if someone found himself has this problem.
I found this illness so terrible and I don’t want my life ruined by this.
Fortunately, I know English and find this website.
Could you please help me? Do you to how cure my desire of emotional manipulation? I do want to get rid of it no matter how hard the solution will be.

Sincerely
Andywu from China.
