Health - 28 February 2007

I used to smoke weed in moderation, but I used it sort of in a "meditation" way.

Anyway, my friend smokes & gets very quiet & distant. She begins to believe that everyone around her is talking about her and when someone says something (that has nothing to do with her), she will seriously start tripping. At one point, she even believed that someone was going to come shoot her, so she moved her bedroom upstairs to avoid someone coming by her window to kill her.

Everything has seemed to calm down a bit, but on occasion, she still gets paranoid and that some feeling overcomes her. She confides in me and tells me that at times when she's high she can't seperate reality from fantasy. She says she hates it. I ask her why she doesn't quit, and she says cause she believes that it will all just go away.

She hasn't been the same since. Even when she's sober she seems as though she's living in some kinda fear.

What should I do? She's 18 so it's not like I can tell her parents.

I know you are supposed to taper off but I am not sure exactly how and my darn COBRA hasn't kicked in yet and I don't want to go to the doctor. My dosage is high and it is causing too many side effects - headaches and so on - and I want to see if I can go without meds for a change. Any good advice would be appreciated.

I came in contact with poison ivy two weeks ago. The rash showed up several days after that and now it has spread to all over my legs. It itches like hell and calamine lotion isn't doing much. How long does it normally take for this kind of rash to disappear?

I'm in between birth control methods and I can't seem to find the right one, which do you use and why does it work for you? Have you had bad experiences with others? And furthermore, when the heck are they gonna make a birth control for men, why do WE have to go through everything.

I have been so stressed out lately. I have little patience when usually i have al ot more than most people I know. I just got out of a 5 & half year relationship. My ex who just turned 31 met his 18 yr. old g/f on the internet & let her move in. We were together at the time & I told her & she didnt care she just kept on persueing him. Everyone tells me how i'm so much better off w/out him, but he makes me feel like I will never get a man better looking than him. He makes me feel fat, & ugly. He calls me fat when his g/f is the same size maybe alittle bigger than me ( she dont realize it). He is w/her cuz supposively she's getting a big inheretence when she is 21 from her grandfather that passed away (she is such a storyteller that its hard to see if shes telling truth) I am very hurt they kiss infront me I sometimes think she does it on purpose. He talks so much crap about her to me. He wont allow me to have male friends over in my house. I dont know what to do anymore. I am loosin it
