I am seeing a physiatrist nurse who is assesing me at the moment to see what they can do for me. I am not working at the moment but i am looking to go in to the volenteer sector to work with youths. I have had some type of condition of temper since i was 3-5 up to the age now of 25 in adult form. I have been qutie paranoid and worried about what goses on around me am even shifty at night thinking grey aliens are out to get me because i have dreamt them as well.
I have explosive anger however i havent used this anger to hurt anyone since I was 13 and never had a fight since then however I am always looking out to have a fight. Although I dont want to fight, the main things that stop me are my fiancee, because i want to have a family and a child etc in the future like majoirty of us do.
However, because i have been seeking questions since i was young and coming on to conspiracy sites and meeting like minded people. i have become more some what questionable, in some ways made me arrogant and ignorant.

I find it hard to interact with others since I was young as well.
I would like advice from someone who is experianced enough to answer me a simple question.

When I last saw the counseller who is asseing me i went in to deep passionate conversation about the world and that people should respect nature and that i understand the youths of today who need understanding.

I then started to critise them saying that people like them wundt be able to help me or those other type of youths like me because they cundt relate. She said she was only doing a job to see how they can help me. However i have been told if i dont keep going or refuse help, there could be a chance that i could go to a mental hospital. Therefore, I am wondering what i should do?.

I want a life and a job and kids but i am scared that if i get a stingma on my name all that could stop, i dont want to have to admit i may have a problem as well... but maybe it will stop people targeting me.
So, reading sites like theses have made me addicted however i try to have a bit more of a open mind these's days but because i have had dreams that have come true and my own spiritual experiances in life i beleive in what i see on sites such as this and dont believe the world outside
any advice please?

Hi deathpoet69, I believe you are doing the right thing in seeing your counceller and although she may not be able to relate directly to your experiences, she will be qualified on the best steps forward.
If you really feel that she's not up to the job, you could visit another one who may be able to provide a different viewpoint.

I think you'd be surprised at how many people have mental health problems of some form these days and it should never have to hold you back in life.I know several people who have good jobs and happy family lives after enduring some pretty tricky times.They shared their problems and along with councelling sessions, their friends helped them through.
You don't have to bottle up your problems. A problem shared etc.

true. So i shundt be afraid of telling her that i have experiance spiritual experiances and that some of my dreams come true and i want to question why?.

Ill apologise to her next week. Next question, How do i try to implement new type of education to youths without talking about what we all know about the world by giving them a postive direction if they do do not know about conspricies and the spirit.

Seriously man, keep up with the therapy. That's the only advice you should take. NO ONE here is a professional in this field and what you need IS a professional.

I would say that stress and depression are at fault here!!
It's unlikely that psychiatry or counseling will help much. Although it is good to talk to people and get things of you chest what you have to realise is the only person that can help you is YOU!!!
Dreaming about greys and imagining that they are out to get you does not mean that the situation is a real one.It does not mean that you have repressed memories or are in telepathic contact with them. It's most likely that you have a fear of the subject matter, which many people do, which is amplified in your mind as it is in an unstable state at present. You present state of mind is unable to cope with eleviating your fears and as such,you should avoid looking any further into the subject of ufos/aliens until you are more in control of your own mind.
As for the state of the world, you need to remind yourself that we are all in the same boat. You are not alone. Many people on this forum (although they may not admit it) are fearful of the future, which is why they try to stay informed of what's going on. If you remember that it's the same for ALL of us, it may help.
You must also think carefully about what you reveal to state paid psychiatrists and councilers because they are duty bound under relatively new mental health act laws to release the information, if they have any concerns, to the relevant authorities, who could then have you committed to a mental health unit. This in turn would lead to you more than likely being heavily medicated/sedated, which would make you far worse!
In the end. ONLY YOU, can overcome the problems that you have. As hard as it may first appear to be, you MUST battle with your OWN mind. You CAN overcome your fears and anxieties if your will is great enough.
For now, stay away from any ufo sites, stay off the ufo forums/threads and concentrate on your life with your fiancee and try to enjoy those small moments of happiness that come your way!
I wish you all the best for the future and hope that you win the fight with yourself!!! REMEMBER! we are ALL fighting our own demons in one way or another and we are ALL in the same boat!!!!!!

very true. i know were in the same boat i just wish i had someone like yourselfs with me because as you know, its hard when no one can see anything. I will keep away from the ufo/alien sites and tv shows because that is a fear, i think i might of took to much in you know and i have been on some videos like jordan maxwell, david icke ( i now know is not good) and micheal trasion for at least 4 hours at night at one time. I mean, last night i was up until 2am in the morning and most of the night on ats while my love one was sat in the living room that really is not good.

So, with all the interests i have in somthing like to ats how do i find somthing else to talk about to the average person without me been a suspect.
I will watch what i say to the physiatrist because they have warned me already about mental hospital, my fiancee said keep it basic but i am bringin her in with me so that i dont go over board cause last time i was on my own then i came out with it all.

I only have a couple points.

[1] Of the anger, have your Lithium levels checked. Lithium is produced by the brain, if the brain produces too much or too little, anger (including sudden rages) is often invoked. I had this very problem, and it was a Lithium depletion in my body. I take suppliments now, and no longer have rages.

[2] Of the bit about being, well, anti-social -- ever think that maybe you just, aren't social? You don't HAVE to be social to everyone. I can't stand most people I meet, both in real-time and cyber. Over the years I have become more withdrawn, to the point of being recluse for a couple years. But, having resovled that I don't HAVE to like everyone, not only am I am now ok with it, but I find myself more tolerable of others, because I don't impose upon myself the psyche that I am SUPPOSED to be social.

[3] Of "strong tablets" - there is no cure-all for any one person.. Every persons chemistry reacts different to every drug. My first suggestion is to stay away from ANY drug that is new on the market. Shrinks get kick-backs from pushing new drugs, it's no secret. Also, don't go to multiple docs without telling the next one what you are currently taking AND what you HAVE taken. Keep your own diary of what each drug does to you. At one time, the VA had me on so many damn drugs that I was literall a walking zombie, to the point that I still can not remember that 2 years of my life.

At this point in my life, having resolved that it's ok to be me, that I don't have to be what others expect as "normal", I take no drugs other than the Lithium, as that is no more or less than taking an iron suppliment when a human body doesn't produce enough of its own.

[3b] Look into natural remedies. Every city has a natural drug store, with books and herbs.

MOST important - in your current state of mental health - DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL !!! Alcohol will most definately give you instant satisfaction, but it will also cloud your head as to be able to deal with yourself and problems, and will ultimately not only intensify current mental problems, but will create yet new problems in your life. THAT, from a recovering alcoholic with 10+yrs sober.

I don't know if any of that made sense, it's just what I have experienced.

My best to you !!!!!

it dose make sense yes. I thought they was always a certain way to be in society u know like the always happy smile effect i seen some people do when you meet them. Like silly little jokes and stuff that resemble no meaning to me. I probably am not a social person directly, i like talkin but am not to keen on friends.
I seem to become a target because i give to much and i dont know what it is some people see through me? like as if am easy target and thats when i become with a rage as if i have to prove somthing because they think i am soft touch . do you or anyone understand me?
see the people i do socialise with are jamicans or those forgien from england or those who may have the same type of mentality as those jamicans i have been around but i do no relate to the "happy smile" type thing if u get me?

for example, if i started work and i saw a popular side having laughs and jokes and i saw someone else who was been pushed out i would go to the one who is been an outcast and then i become a target.

When I quit being what society expects of a person, I became more comfortable with me as I am. That is NOT to say I became angst against society as it is, meaning I have not become anarchist, but I have put aside anyone elses expectations of me --- I am not here for them, I am here for me.

As for being a target, well? Quit being the target? What I mean is, quit giving SO much of yourself to others that you take away from yourself. Think about it, how can you truly give to others, when in slighting yourself to do so, is taking away from the ablility of giving to others. Like an old farmer, a cow only gives so much milk. I'm not saying DON'T give to others, but perhaps you should slow down from it in order to better yourself. In turn, down the road, you will find that giving to others will not be taking away from you.
