I agree. I have always been someone who has a hard time dealing with stress and so on. I also obsess about EVERYTHING. That can be a good thing but it can also be a very bad thing. Just the other day someone pulled in front of me while driving and I COULD NOT LET IT GO. Sana had to pretty much scream into my ear about 10 times before I snapped out of it. Im not even going to get into how I almost killed my neighbor the other day because of his little barking dog..

At any given day, im either angry, sad, worried, or stressed. I cant ever remember a time besides when I was a kid that I actually have just had fun and enjoyed life. Now this new thing as of the last few months is the hypocondria.

suggestions are welcome because i am lost..

I have had some personal success with Welbrutin and I hate to say it, but there will ALWAYS be something for ME to focus on and it is always bad........I find ways to fight it and I have some good days and some bad. Some days, I just feel apprehensive and nervous, some days, defensive and self righteous - And there are many days that I feel lucky to be alive, walking on this earth and all is right with the world. These are the days I try to hold on to.

Wow, it feels like you are both describing me. I can completely identify with both of you. It comes and it goes. Like Bouncer said, some times you just can't let stuff go. It just festers and festers until it's all you can think about. You know you should, but you just physically can't. I don't know how else to describe it. There are times where I feel physically anxious or hostile and I have no idea why. Sometimes I just want to break everyone's face who even looks at me the wrong way and others, I just want to make everyone feel like they're the most important person on the planet. It's so frustrating. I'm with Bouncer, I don't want to go on meds. I don't want to just cover the symptoms. I want to find out why I am this way. I know I have issues with my temper and stuff, but geez. I don't like feeling angry, sad, frustrated, anxious, worried, hostile for no reason. Every little thing can just make me want to destroy everything in sight. My computer is the worst. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to throw that friggin thing right out the window.

I feel stressed all of the time. I feel like I can't enjoy anything, even the stuff I love doing. It's been this way since I was a kid. I remember slashing a few basketballs and punting them across the street because I missed too many shots (in my mind). Once my ball got stuck up in a tree when I drop kicked it into the woods and I was in such a rage that I got my father's ax and dropped that fucker just to get my ball back. It took me a couple of hours and I ended up with sore hands and a sore back. I'm surprised I haven't had a stroke by now. I don't get it. I know that I should just chill, but it's like something just explodes in me. My heart starts racing and I feel like I'm ready to rip an elephant apart then this cold calm comes over me. That's what scares me, because when that happens, I don't give a shit what the consequences are. Anyway...I'm lost too my friend.

I think the best thing to do is to go see a therapist. This is something that everyone tells me I need to do and I know I do but I keep putting it off.

I feel like an idiot. This whole time I have been reading that you had a mole, but thinking wart. :doh: Everything I have been reading for over the counter stuff, the things seem to be interchangable. There are also creams if you search for "mole removal". Make a call to the derm that checked you at and just ask them real quick.

I was wondering why I could find nothing about Dr sholes Mole remover. :P

[FitnessBrat]

Wow, I butchered my last post, lol....looks like NJ was typing for me - stupid, teeny keyboard....

Bouncer - I know what you mean about the feeling held down - you don't feel like yourself on those meds... But sometimes its nicer to have a calm sense, over a hostile, always angry/anxious state of mind....

But you're right - you would be best off talking to someone professional :)

[trip]

Are you still on depression meds?

If so, did you ever have them up the dose?

One more time: IT IS NOT A CHARACTER ISSUE IT IS A CHEMICAL ISSUE

It'd be like telling a diabetic to use PMA, positive menatl attitude and they would be fine.

The mind is wired 7,000 different ways, that we know of right now, probably thousands more.

Add in learning, ability, environment, other physical aspects, and you get some different reactions to the same stimulus. Not so that it is out of bounds or wrong, just different.

The doc, with the "fight or flight" stuff, sounds about right.

Some of it can be overcome with "behavior modification" techniques but you got work on them just like lifting weights, habits are built on repetion, not knowledge.

hoped some of that made sense

not on any meds now. doc took me off cymbalta because she thought it may be adding to the problem instead of fixing it.

What you guys are talking about is different from what I am talking about. This is not the type of mole that you could cut off with a razor blade. Its flat on the skin, there is no bump or anything of that nature.

have the same thing on my neck bro --i have had every doc you could imagine look at it --

if its not growing and there has been no change to it whatsoever your fine bro ---

i run to the doc a soon as i find something or dont like something just as you do --- i think its the amount of young deaths we have seen in recent months that have us questioning everything --

which is not a bad thing as that is how i found my noncancerous lump

[Puddles]

Since I've had a few melanoma's I don't trust anyone but myself in determining a suspicious mole vs. a normal one. I was originally told that a mole was nothing to be concerned with, then 9 months later the biopsy I insisted on came back positive.

It's a simple procedure to get a biopsy done so if it eases your mind, then just do it.


As for the mood swings, etc., a shrink really is a good way to go. Meds are only a part of the solution.

My husband is a lot like what you guys have been describing but he tends to focus most of his energies on work so that at least the behaviour becomes something beneficial in the long run. I think whatever this phenomenon is is why he tends to work and play so hard, taking things to extremes. I'm quite the opposite, very laid back and easy going. We tend to help keep a decent ballance for each other.

I cant say that makes the hypocondriac in me feel better. :P I do understand where your comming from though. I think the best thing for me to do since I have had it looked at many times, blood work, and it has stayed the same for years is to stop thinking about it. I tend to obcess over things and think about nothing else.

Find something constructive to obcess about, body building is good but you need something else too, something relaxing like this: Something Just For You .

Seriously, how about putting together a body builders cookbook? Something you enjoy! Include pictures.
