I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. So I got on the computer, no one was in here so I went to another place I frequent. I was talking to this one guy, I have talked to him before. He's a very nice guy but always brings up the subject of suicide and says he wants to die etc. I was talking to him and this girl comes in there and starts giving him free advise. She tells him we all have problems, I just cut myself within the last hour, why do I do it? I enjoy it she said.
I was thinking are all the strange people in here at this hour or are they in here all the time and we don't notice. I felt sorry for both of them. I should have stayed in bed.

One question . No disrespect intended, but why do you automatically label people with emotional problems as 'strange'? You sort of answered your own question when you asked if these 'strange' people are always around and we just don't notice. The answer is a resounding 'yes' people with emotional problems are usually around and unless they choose to tell others of their problems, they go unnoticed. Some people who are contemplating suicide often talk about it, others do not. Are the people who do talk about it any less serious ? The fact that the idea has formed in their mind is a signal that indeed it is a possibility. Teens and adolescents fall into this category frequently and are often dismissed by adults as 'teenage angst' No one should be automatically dismissed when they mention suicide from a personal POV, no matter how briefly or off handed. Sometimes it is a cry for help, and yes, sometimes it's a cry for attention, but who in their right mind would take it upon themselves to distinguish? That's a responsibility people often disregard.

I'm not going to rake my brain trying to find a word suitable to you. Strange. I'm not going to diagnose every person that gets on here. I seriously doubt you could tell me anything about emotional illnesses I don't already know.

I opened my post with the words " no disrespect intended" and I meant that.
I only mentioned that referring to people with emotional problems as 'strange'only adds more problems or feelings of self loathing to the mix. I don't think they are necessarily 'strange' or else there wouldn't be so many people with emotional problems left to deal with them in our society. There was nothing personal intended for you sydney, I'm sorry if you took it that way.

No problem, it's okay. I have had and still do have emotional problems. I don't get caught up in stigma and everything associated with it. If someone calls me strange I don't care, be cause I am weird. I don't take it as a personal affront. I simply don't care.
Doctor had me on Prozac but like so many more I became aggressive. Then, take as needed Xanax.

My family practice Dr wanted to put me on Zoloft because I had long bouts with insomnia. I said thanks, but no thanks. When my migraines got better I was able to sleep better, but they still appear out of nowhere at times. I'm convinced my headaches are connected with my multiple eye issues, my Ophthalmologist thinks so too. I'm seeing a neurologist in Feb. I really don't know what a neurologist can do about the situation except rule out something more serious. The last time I had a brain C-Scan, about seven years ago, the neurologist said " Hey, good news, there's nothing in there " Funny fellow, he is.

My Mom has suffered from headaches all her life, they got so bad she couldn't function. Nothing helped her until they finally gave her Maxalt, they work. If you are not familiar with them ask your doctor.

I guess what is essential is whether or not our own dysfunctionalism incapacitates us.

My Mom has suffered from headaches all her life, they got so bad she couldn't function. Nothing helped her until they finally gave her Maxalt, they work. If you are not familiar with them ask your doctor. No, I have never heard of nor taken Maxalt, however I have taken Topamax and the side effects sound a lot alike. I should never have been prescribed Topamax in the first place since the warning clearly says 'Do not take if you have glaucoma' .The first tablet I took sent me to the ER. My throat and tongue swelled and my hands and face felt as though they had lost all circulation. cold and tingly. I thought I'd had a stroke. The ER Dr had a hissy fit when he found that I had glaucoma and was prescribed Topamax. Since I have no knowledge of Maxalt nor the ingredients of Topamax, I guess the 'Max' is the only link I have at the moment. I never want another episode like the last one My pain management Dr prescribed a specially formulated lotion/cream called MMPMO, that's all it says on the label. You rub it on the back of your neck at the base of your head. It must be very expensive because he had to get prior authorization for it. I've had the stuff for about a week. It works 'somewhat' is all I can say. It takes about 45 min to an hour before you feel any relief, that's the downside. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a placebo. I'm considering acupuncture. The pain doc also wanted to use Botox injections in my hairline, but my Rheumatologist said there weren't enough studies done on Botox and compromised immune systems so he should " Keep his needles out of my head " , she's a trip.

www.clearspringrx.com/user-files/TCN-MIGRADERM-The%20Therapy-0514.pdf I looked up the side effects of maxalt and it didn't say anything about glaucoma. My mom considers it a miracle drug, so do I. The only drawback is it's expensive.

I don't care about the expense, my insurance pays for any and everything... however, Maxalt side effects mentioned the swelling of the throat and tongue and tingling and loss of feeling in the hands, which were the exact symptoms that sent me to the ER. I don't want that again
