I invited my friend grace over to tea on tuesday. She ate it all up and said she really enjoyed it, but as she finished it she went all quiet and hardley spoke, like she was feeling guilty that she had ate this meal. Anyway she asked to go to the bathroom to wash her hands, but she was like 10 minutes so i decided to go and see if she was ok, to my horror i found her over the toilet with the end of a toothbrush stuck down her throat. She said shes scared of putting weight on and getting rid of the food is the only way she can stay slim. WHAT IS THIS A SIGN OFF? should i tell her sister or parents?...

i think one of my friends is depressed (i'll call her x). so, X is dyslexic so she has to take special classes in school, i'm not sure if this has any effect on how she feels. she feels bad a lot and seems to be going "emo"... she paints her nails black and stuff. anyway, she said that she thinks about eating disorders because that way she would die faster (this is when she's feeling bad)... she argues with her parents and then goes in her room locks the door closes the curtains, closes the lights, then cries. she said that she thinks about death alot. she says that she thinks about suicide but would never do it. she said that if she ever would she would tell me and her two other friends first. what can i do? she says that she doesn't want to tell anyone... do you have any hotlines or websites and some advice? please help... she says she's not depressed. :(

Why is it that if mental illness is suspected or recognized in an individual it is ignored?
Why bother to watch for and point out "warning signs" if the "system" can't do anything until someone gets hurt or killed?
At what point does "The System" become responsible for the mentally ill and their actions?

So basically within the past couple weeks I have had major joint pain mostly starting in the back and has now come to the ankles, knees, hips especially and some shoulder pain. I have not gained a lot of weight, pretty positive I am not growing anymore, no known diseases and no eating disorders. I consume a ton of calcium but is arthritis possible? Please no suggestions of a chiropractor I went to one who adjusted me once and then wanted me on a "plan" for a year which cost $4,000 only adding to the suspicions of quackery. Supplement suggestions are encouraged and experience is welcomed as well. Should I see a doctor?

Thursday I had the mother of all days. I had 6 servers crash on me overnight due to a major hardware failure. I was able to recover 1 of the servers, allowing the company HR, Financial and Payroll Systems to hobble along.

During my 14 hour ordeal I discovered a few things about my role as a Server Administrator at work.

1) I had no support from my management. Just "how this happen", "why didn't you prevent it", "how much longer", "do you know what you are doing" were the questions I had deal with all day. After dealing with the situation and recovering 1 server, not even a bit of thanks or how can we help. Again, just "are you staying all night to fix the remaining servers" type of questions.

I've been pretty unhappy with my work environment in the past 6 months. Too much stress, no support, too much responsibility. This has bothered me emotionally and physically, but I forced my way though it and essentially buried it and moved on.

My husband has recently been diagnosed as Diabetic, so he is on a low carb diet. He has always had a healthy appetite so the small amounts of food are leaving him hungry. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what he can eat in between meals as a "snack" that is low in carbs and sugar??? Thanks a bunch - any information would be appreciated!!

I went for a check up one week after the surgery, and the doctor said all was fine, and that the wounds were healing well. Lately i've been feeling a toothache sensation though, is that normal? its mainly in my back moulers. Is that just the muscles and what not getting back into chewing and being used?

I have been out of the abusive relationship for a little over 2 years and I haven't had a lot of incidents of post traumatic stress disorder but about 2 weeks ago I had a confrontation with my sister and her husband that has really sent me into crisis mode. I can't eat or sleep, I'm sick to my stomach. I feel as if I might die, I feel the same way I did 2 years ago when I kicked my ex out of the house. I know that my feelings are irrational for this situation. I know that my sister isn't going to hurt me and that sooner or later we will work things out and talk again but I can't get rid of this horrible panic I am feeling. Does anyone have any advice on getting past an episode of PTSD?

I am looking for a natural way to help when someone is very allergic to bees. I have read that Epinephrine is the best way to go, but an Epipen or other epinephrine remedies have needles and they take some effort to use. Is there a remedy that can be used immediately after a bee sting that can help at least until you can made it to the hospital? Thanks!

I took my son because his eye was red. Thought he had pink eye.

1. Nurse leads us to room. Puts bp cuff on arm. Puts pulse checker on finger. Presses start button. Machine automatically takes bp and pulse. She writes something down.

2. Doctor comes in. Asks whats wrong. I say eye is red since Monday. Doctor walks over and glances at eye. I tell him no dishcharge, only watery. Doctor says it is a virus and there is nothing he can do. Tells me to put warm compresses on it.

3. Doctor leaves

Time in: 1:00pm exactly
Time out: 1:06 pm exactly.

He didn't even have to put gloves on.

I call later, ask the charge. It 75 bucks.

Why is this???? Is this insanity?????????
Doctors get $75 an hour not per 5 minutes!! Am I wrong?
