How do I know If my workers comp claim is accepted or denied?, Who says yes or no. My benefits were suspended and my employer said it was not work related because they thought I had an epileptic seizure but it wasnt like that. I had head concussion and a nerve problem. in my lower back I got an attorney but how do I know If my claim is accepted or denied who says yes or no the board or the company?

My fiance either doesn't believe in pets for therapy, or is reluctant to get a cat because of the cost to maintain a healthy pet. I'm taking the highest dosage of Paxil CR possible to relieve anxiety and minor depression. I seriously think that having a cat will help me with the depression aspect, and possibly with the anxiety. Does anyone have a pet for therapy? Please tell me your story.

Although he is in no way violent or aggressive when he's drunk, my boyfriends alcohol dependency is putting enormous strain on our relationship. He doesn't drink as much as he used to, but will still sit at home by himself and put away a litre of spirits (on the majority of nights in a week) a) just for the sake of getting drunk b) if he's denied alcohol he can't switch off, relax or sleep. It is also seriously affecting our sex life, as I greatly dislike only having sex when he's drunk, but he doubts his performance when he's sober (despite being told otherwise!)
He has often said he knows he drinks too much and would like to cut down, but seems unwilling to actually do anything about it. It is starting to affect his health. I would like to know what steps I can take to help us both understand and tackle the problem together without making him feel undermined.
I love him very much and aside from his drinking he is a wonderfully caring, loving and intelligent person.
HELP!!!

I felt very suicidal today because I m in this huge hole that I feel like I couldn't get out of. So I called the Kids Help Phone in Canada, I told them my problem and all they said is: well nothing I can help you with, go to sleep and good night! And then they hung up on me... I feel kind of awkward now.. like.. did they give up on me too? Do i really should just go die?

I had a problem with school because I couldn't concentrate and I was missing school because I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't wake up in the morning. I didn't go to all the classes all right.. and I didn't know how to go back to class. My classmates are laughing at me and my friend heard that one of my teachers was joking around with some of the kids that i was giving my bf a bl*wjob when i was not at school. And i feel horrible. I feel like i couldn't go back to school right now. That's why i called the line.. and i felt like the only way to avoid everything is to die, and yes i guess i was denying death cause i want to look for another way out. But if even the help line hung up on me.. do I really deserve to die?

In an emergency room, there are more and more patients with nothing really wrong with them. I understand one wants to be sure the pain or uncomfortable feeling they are having is nothing too serious. It seems, though, that when they are told that nothing is wrong, they seem disappointed. I would think it would be a good thing to have nothing wrong. What do you think?

My son's dad has been an addict for around 10 years. This is his second time being in a rehab. But he has two years of time there,"Delancy St.". Do you think that if an addict really wants a clean and sober life that they can obtain one?
