Sita Ram Catnip,
You are missing my point. You stated earlier that you have many different problems and that is why you were undertaking many different mantras. I was concurring with Yajvan that undertaking many different mantras is not necessary or wise.
Mantras are not really meant for different "problems" that one is facing. There are specific prayers/stotras as well as general prayer for getting through problems in life, but mantra-sadhana is more for general self-improvement as part of one's meditation towards Self-realization.

Namaste,
My problems happen to be my negative thinking and behavior (various mental illness, which yes, i am seeing a counselor and psychiatrist for)..... so getting rid of that would be self improvement would it not?

Sita Ram Catnip,
It definitely would!
Again, the point is that there is not really a need to undertake one mantra for negative thinking, one mantra for negative behavior, etc. Rather, one should focus on one/a few for meditation and sadhana. For problems like you mentioned, general prayer and a conscious effort in karma are of great aid in overcoming, as is structured meditation.
Jai Sri Ram

Namaste,
I was thinking even one for inner/outer beauty that i found because most of my negative thinking comes from low self esteem... i almost typed that i don't know where the anxiety comes from but that's low self esteem too! My negative behavior comes from my negative thinking. I'm going to keep looking a little to make sure its the absolute best one i can find and connect with... and there are other things i can do alongside the mantra to gain self esteem. (i just deleted a paragraph's worth of stuff i can do, remembering we're not supposed to get too personal >.<)

Namaskar to all
It is said that in kaliyug we can not pronounce the mantras properly and so mantras in this yug is not effective at all. further , chanting of the name of bhagavan with the help of beed is kind of taking ( smaranam) the name of bhagavan for limited period or limited number whereas it is expected that we should take the name of bhagavan with our every breathing in or out. Therefore I find it of no use of chanting mantras whatever may be with beeds. Instead we should practice chanting without beeds for unlimited number and unlimited time.
In my sadhana, I have found chanting of mantra by a specific count for a particular duration - 108 times * 48 days very effective. It not only had the needed materialistic wish fulfilled but also brought about a major attitude change. If a mala cannot be used for repetition of a different mantra, why not go with finger counts?
But at other times I have constantly repeated the name of god as Jopmala has suggested, that is without keeping a count, for a period of 1 year in full. The recitation had been mental. It brought about quite some remarkable spiritual dreams followed by materialistic wish fulfillment.
