It's not that I'm thirsty... it's a thing I do when I have to sit in front of a computer all day at work, or talking with someone.

I have extreme bipolar and borderline personality disorder. They're so bad that I cannot function normally; I can't keep a job, I failed out of college, I can't keep friends, I get into financial trouble all of the time, and meds don't work. I've considered getting disability for this before, but I kept telling myself that I just wasn't trying enough and so I tried once more. After watching it all happen again, even while compliant with treatment, I'm ready to give up.

So my question is, what does it take to get disability for a mental illness? Please don't respond that you can't, because I know that you can. My biological mother is the same way and is on disability for it, and in a nursing home (as an alternative to a mental hospital). Would I have to subject myself to hospitalization? What kind of steps are involved?

hey im on a kind of diet meaning like a non serious one at all but i am eating more healthy than i would normally do. I also havent eaten since the day before yesterday due to the flu (would never normally go this long without eating) but my tummy just can't handle food at the moment as im feeling so rough D=. I am slowly getting down to the size i want *size 8* as i am a now size 10 loads of people will say a size 10 is skinny but even thoe the jeans will be baggy around my tummy my FAT hips will go slightly over the top of my jeans because they are so flabby, How can i reduce the size of the fat around my hips, if it means reducing the size around my belly as well i dont mind but would prefer just reducing my hip size. any suggestions THANKS alot
when i pull the flab back i still have curves and there is no fat on my hips which is the look i want, then i let go and the dreaded flab returns and its horrible =[

Hi, my breasts are kind of large for the size of my body and I find them a bit uncomfy. I enjoy doing sports but they end up getting in the way, even if I wear a good sports bra. I was wondering, does anyone know about any natural methods for reducing breast size? I don't want to have surgery. Thanks for your time.

Should a heavy Marijauna smoker that's trying to quit consider NA, or an ex one who maybe needs support? Maybe a person psychologically addicted? Or is NA and AA only for people with serious drug addictions?

I have recently had my braces removed and am really dissatisfied with the work. My jaw pops when I yawn, my bite is off-center on the lower and upper, and some of my teeth are still crooked. I spoke with a new orthodontist a month after getting them off, who says that because of all the extra work needed, that it will cost me about the same now as it did to get them in the beginning. My old ortho offered to take another look at my teeth, but he feels confident that they are straight enough. I found this guy through 1-800-dentist because I was new to the area. That was a huge mistake and one hell of a life lesson that cost me $5000. Since I don't feel comfortable letting this guy do any more work, does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Is is possible that I could be entitled to a refund of some sort?

When ever i see my psychiatrist and she asks me how I am, I automatically say i'm fine, But when really, I'm not.
I don't do it on purpose...it's hard to explain it. Like when she asks me how I feel like I can't tell her because the words wont come out of my mouth. I try to say them but if I do get some out, it's just stuttering nonsence that no one can understand.
Now she thinks i'm fine and wants to close my case file...and i'm not fine. It also happens when ever anyone asks me how i'm doing.
Why do I do this....? My doctor doesn't make me anxious so how do I get rid of doing this...?
Thanks

How long can it take to recover from a torn ligament and a Baker's cyst (which is just a fluid filled sac behind the knee)?! It's been three weeks today since I injured it. I am now able to walk on it for short distances but still unable to return to normal activities! How much longer do I have to deal with this?!

Can I buy Zelnorm in Austrailia without a prescription? The FDA took it off the market here in the U.S. and because my doctor knows I need it so badly, he suggested I try getting it from another country. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was hospitalized for depression nearly 2 years ago. I had a major depressive episode, voluntarily went to the hospital, and stayed for a week (which several nurses told me was a short stay). I followed up with visits with a psychiatrist, plus the antidepressant Celexa.
Because of my experiences with depression, I am thinking about being a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I believe I can get the loans and letters of recommendation to go, but my concern is they'll find out what happened to me and not allow me into the program, or worse, I'll get in, have done all that work and be denied my license.
On my own, I decided to stop seeing my psychiatrist and taking Celexa. I have taught myself to treat myself with kindness and respect, and that I can be happy, I just have to work harder at it than most. I want to help others who have suffered as I have, and teach them mental illness does not make you a bad person, and you can come back from this.
P.S--I live in the NY state.
