Health - 2 October 2006

I have been cutting for seven years now. It has gotten to the point that I am getting stitches all the time and am severing tendons from cutting too deep. I have tried many diffrent types of teatment. I have seen numerous therapists and shrinks, I have done group therapy, CBT, DBT, lived in a residential treatment facility for 2 years, been hospitalized many times, and tried to do some work on my own. I really want/need to stop, but when that urge hits I can only hold off so long before it get overwhelming and I give in. What is left for me to try?

I've been cutting for 7 years, and now I am at the point that I need stitches all the time, and I have even severed tendons. Sometimes I don't even have a real reason to cut, besides I feel I need to. I try to not cut, but I get to the point that I can't function until I give in. Has my cutting turned into an addiction, and if so, what should I do about it?

My MD filled out my Leave of Absence form and put that I was bipolar o/d on it. Any idea what the o/d stands for? I haven't OD'd (overdosed) so that's not it.

All I can think to ask the Dr. during pre-op consultation is; "How long will hospital stay be?"

Please help me think of pertinent questions to ask.

Thank you in advance.

Pertaining to a question I posed earlier about removing impacted wisdom teeth that haven’t emerged yet, one person told me (from their experience) that their dentist removed the teeth next to their wisdom teeth to make enough room.

I had no idea this was possible or even an option. Has anyone else done this? Is this often practiced in dentistry, or only in specific cases?

I need a change in my life...i've always wanted to be a teacher or nurse. I love helping people and everyone tells me that those two careers fit me perfectly based on my "people" skills and caring nature. I want to make a difference in healthcare today, i currently work in administration at a hospital, but want to be more hands on with patients that i see walking around the hospital. I am not sure where to start...I have some college, but don't have a degree. I am 27 and don't want to waste time or money with schooling that is not needed. Please only serious answers. What are the steps I should take...i hear from MANY people this is a rewarding career on many levels. How long is schooling, what trade schools should I avoid? What type of degree do I need? Thank you...
