Health - 3 December 2006

This is for other carers of people with a mental illness. I want to know what i can do. I have been supporting a really close friend with borderline personality for over a year. She confides in me and tells me that everything in her life is making her feel overwhelmed, trapped and hopeless. i want to help, i wish i could take away her pain but i can't. It is just so frustrating to only be able to offer her positive hope that seems meaningless, trying to tell her that things will work out and that she can do this when she is in so much pain seems so redundant. I just wish i could do more. I know i can't but i wish i could fix everything for her. Does anyone else struggle with this and what can i tell her or do for her to help, when i can't change the situation. Help?

I used to model, and I want to get back in shape so that I can get a few jobs to help put me through college. I'm an Early Childhood Education major. I need to tone my arms a bit, but my problem area is my rump. It's larger than I'd like as opposed to what I used to have. What makes this more difficult is that I am having some health issues at the moment. I'm currently being screened for both Lupus and Anemia (the symptoms for both are similar) and the amount of physical activity I can do is limited. I wear corsets to shape my torso. I love sushi and I have a weakness for carbs. Any tips on toning and tightening my physique? I don't have a whole lot to lose. The main issue is toning, but I need a way that is less strenuous. I'm 5'6 and weigh 116lbs. I know it sounds like I am thin, but it shows more on me because I have a petite frame. I can't get a job in the shape I am in.

Does anyone have a lab that just get everything right all the time? I'm looking for a lab who can receive a quadrant impression for a single crown and just make it right the first time, every time. Any suggestions? I'd be happy mailing my stuff off to California if that's what it takes.

What if there's no one that would miss them anyway so they wouldn't even be hurting anyone else? But even if there is, people always say that suicide is selfish because it hurts the people who are left behind, but isn't it even more selfish to ask someone to stay alive and be absolutely miserable just so you won't have to cry?

i am thinking of dalton trumbo's "johnny got his gun." i am also thinking of my grandmother whose body was falling apart and my aunt who was agonizing with breast cancer that mercifully spread to her liver and mercifully killed her quickly. whose is so naive to urge living on no matter what? only religiouis zealots i guess. life is for the young and possibly for the very rich. life is an endless struggle to ease the suffering. life is best for a baby who is smiling and laughing. it is the same for all animals. aging changes all that. there are odd exceptions but rarely. do you see it differently?

ok I have been dateing my boyfriend for 2 and a half years now, but I think that there is something mentally wrong with him. He is always depressed about his life and talks of suicide from time to time. He is what I find out now to be a compulsive liar, and a sex addict. He tends to say things he don't mean all the time and change moods quickly, he is also very influenced by his friends as if he has no mind of his own. He even told me a coupe of times that he is going to flip out and either hurt himself or someone close to him one day, because he so stress (over nothing). He even told me like 3 times that he wanted me dead, that revenge on his behalf for something that happen long ago between which is not even that serious would be death to me, he said the only way he can get even is if I die, if he kills me? What is wrong with him?

I've been so tired lately. I have no energy what-so-ever. My dietician suggested that I take calcium.
I don't know what's wrong. Whenever I eat breakfast,lunch,dinner I have to go to sleep. I just can't take a nap I will sleep for at least 6 hours straight. When I wake up, I'm still tired! I just lost 15 lbs. in a month due to my medication. Could that be it?

I was diagnosed as bipolar last year but couldn't tolerate any of the meds. I'm on an antidepressant now, but am still having some pretty severe mood swings. Are there any bipolar meds that don't have very severe side effects?

This seems to have started when I came back from the mountains of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. I am wondering if it could be stress and something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been to the doctor and he says I am having withdrawal from a certain medicine. I have told him I feel like I am not getting enough air.
