Health - 28 January 2007

As an only child-thankfully now grown up and with a family of my own I still have to cope with a Bi Polar mother who has made my life hell and continues to try and wreck any and every relationship within the family.
Like an alcoholic,she refuses to admit to any abnormality even though she has been sectioned on at least three occasions and is prescribed Haloperidol-not merely an antidepressant but an anti psychotic drug.
I have not been able to get any help with this since her medical practitioner refuses to discuss the problem on the grounds of patient confidentiality.meanwhile she continues to cause havoc and destroys any attempts at restoring a normal mother/son relationship.
To be honest and however uncharitable it sounds I am sick of her and the likes of her continually feeling "Victim" to the world.
It's not the manic depressives who are the victims but the families who have to pick up the pieces after them.
Should I just give up or any ideas??

I did something stupid. I played around and I broke that thread kinda thing(i found out it's called frenulum). It hurts like s**t. At first it was bleeding a lot but it stopped now. What am I supposed to do? Will it affect my capacity to have sex (I'm 15)? Does it mean I'm not a virgin anymore? Pls tell me what U now about this and what are the remedies...

I sometimes shave my chest hair but haven't done it very recently (I only trimmed it, the razor had no skin contact.). I just got a rash on my chest.. it's not bad, it just looks like I have razor bumps but they can't be razor bumps. Maybe it's my laundry detergent? Haha.

Anyways, I don't think it's a medical problem so how do you other guys get rid of razor bumps or burns on your chest or stomach?

I've been on anti-depressants for around 9 years, and about 4 months ago, I decided I wanted off of them. I gained 30 lbs right off the bat from them...been on all kinds through the years, but, Lexapro helped the most without the side affects except weight gain. I've been off 4 months, lost 25lbs, but, have I lost the weight because I've quit the pills, or because I started watching my weight and taking diet pills and shots from the doctor. Alot of people think now that I'm off, and have emotions, just can feel more, that I should get back on the anti-depressants...some people think I should, some not, they say, I have a right to cry, be happy, sad, mad, and when I was on the drug, I always was calm, cool and collect, even through death. Yes, I've made an appointment with the dr. to see if I should get back on them...but, he swears that they don't make you gain weight..can someone please tell me, if they really do, and I have tried them and all have made me gain.

We used to have radiator heat and now have central air. I have noticed most of the family coughing and having problems breathing when we run the heat. I am looking into having the ducts cleaned but my question is what can I do to add moisture to the air without adding the bacteria that some of the humidfiers put out?
