My GP continues to ignore the fact that l continue to cut myself, my Psychiatrist is an AROGANT ASS no help at all he just wants to save the inner child. I feel lost and confussed most of the time and l don't know what to do. I feel sick in the stomach everyday now for 3 weeks, nothing is done about it, my GP just thinks its Anxiety or something to that effect, l even get chestpains to add to the problems. My sleep is restless, l'm on Anti-depressants ( Zoloft 50mg). This is the 4th one l'm trying this year, nothing works. I contemplate taking an overdose but too afraid of consequences of this action. Will l be commited for this act of desperation or ignored like my other attempts for help. I dont say much which doesn't help this situation. My anger, fear and hatred comes from within . I cannot go on like this, life is misery to me and no one can see me. And recently l've been having memory lapses, where l forget in an instant. I just want to get better, why cant people see.

I dont use tampons cause they hurt putting them in. But i have heard that if you dont use them to stretch your vagina, when you have sex it will hurt very bad. Is that true?

I got an xray from my dentist with a dark area under the #18 moler. The tooth does not hurt and can sence hot and cold. Endodntist could not find cracks and have no fillings in that tooth.Facial/mouth surgeon says still could be a dead tooth or a cyst. Recommends doing root canal anyway and if tooth is dead then problem solved if not then surgery to remove poss. cyst. He claims if he does surgery 1st he will more than likely kill the tooth anyway and i will have to get root canal done. Sooo im not sure just looking for answers curious???

I'm assuming I just keep taking the pills as normal (meaning the sugar pills for the next four days) and my period will come soon...and then start the new pack four days from now regardless of when my period comes? Maybe since this is my first month my system isn't set yet so I just assumed I would get my period when I was to start taking the sugar pills...Any suggestions (and I know it takes a good 6-8 weeks for the pills to work but I know I am not pregnant)...

my parents just told me that they where going to drop off a small box of food and thats it. they basically don't expect me to go by the diet and totally expect me to go hungry to learn a lesson. the weird thing is my food last me. so whats the problem. I know I eat a lot but it's not bad.

so help me tell them I don't need to go on a diet without me telling them that I'm going to eat what I want.

Is it dangerous to leave a vaginal yeast infection untreated? If it doesn't itch or if it doesn't smell, might it just go away naturally?

Do you deliberately avoid it since you know its your undoing or do you try to eat it only once in a while or do you try to limit the portion?

At night when I go to sleep, I feel like I want to kick my leg off. I didn't think about it til now. I just want to point my toe then flex the other way, point, flex, over and over. I wish I could just unscrew my leg and take it off at night! Anyone else?

(I bet this has something to do with my leg numbness during the day) (duh)

The weight gain they cause sucks and you can't get it off! Has anyone successfully lost weight after going off of an SSRI medication? Did you have to diet or did your weight just start going back to normal?

Yesterday I twisted my ankle, and last night I I sprained it by slamming it against the side of my bed. I cant walk on it, and I cant do any thing that has to do with standing on it too much. I have been on a weight loss plan for around a week, and I don't want to pause it because of this, as my goal is for Thanksgiving. I am continuing my nutrition plan, but need something to do for exercises.
My main thing for this plan is to get a flat stomach, if that helps any.

I have a very good friend that I talk to daily. She has always been there for me and I will always be there for her but I am worried about her drinking. I had her spend the night w/ me several times and she wakes up shaking and with diareah. I took her to the Doctor for a check up and the Doctor sent her for lab work and it showed a low sodium level (I don't understand why). She keeps complaining that there is a pain in her stomache under the right rib. I can tell when she is drinking, but when I ask her if she has been she tells me 'no' - but then later in our conversation she'll say something like "I really need to cut back on the booze". She's not violent or anything like that but the only time I can get her out of the house is to pick her up and take her somewhere. She won't even drive her own car. She is really a good person who I think has a serious problem. I will be letting her read the responses, so be honest, she needs to hear it from someone other than me!
