Health - 9 July 2007

My first and my only grandson was killed in a boating accident a year and 1/2 ago and I thought that I was handling it pretty good but have discovered that I am not. I also lost my younger and only brother in January. I need someone who has gone thru this to talk to. I would love to find someone online as I am not good at talking to other people...I just don't do it. I sit and listen but can't bring myself to talk even though they are trying hard. Part of it is that everyone is family or they haven't been through it or I am just afraid that they will tell everyone else all my thoughts and feelings. How do I find someone to talk to online?

if you fast for about a month and a half (not literally eating nothing, but eating very little with tons of water), how much do you think you'll lose?

I'm currently using M5 Extreme by Cellucor. I have been considering buying N. O. Xplode but didn't know how it would affect me if half my workout was cardio. If it wouldn't be the best thing to take, what else would you reccomend?

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some idea of what this could be? For the last year i've been practically housebound,sometimes even bed ridden, and havn't been able to do much. My bones seem to have become very weak and they keep cracking? I always feel extremely weak and my body aches alot also. I suffer from very severe depression and i know thats probably whats made me feel so weak.
I'm only 15 so i don't think it could be brittle bones or anything?
Would calcium supplements stop my bones from cracking so much?
Thanks x

Every couple of months I get this severe pain in my abdomen. I am a 14 year old girl and it is just below my chest, it is a sharp pulsating pain that lasts anywhere between 10 minutes and 40. They hurt so bad that I cannot breathe and feel nauseous, it suddenly gets really hot (even in the wintertime) and I begin to sweat. My mom knows about it, but doesn't know what to do and when I asked my doctor about it she said it was gas, but it isn't because it is higher than that and hurts to intensely.
When I get them, I can't walk, can't move and just curl up on the floor and wait for it to pass. A few times I have thrown up but that may have been me getting sick, I'm not sure, I am normally one of the healthiest people I know and almost never get sick.
I am terrified that one day I will get these pains somewhere else than home and I don't know what I'd do, they hurt so bad, they are impossible to hide.
I would really appreciate any help or advice on what is causing this and how to help it.

I went to a physciatrist (shrink) recently and he said I have depression and he put me on Wellbutrin XL. I also explained that I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was young and I think I still have it - he said the medicine may help that. But I have this habit of tearing skin off my fingers (they feel rough so I want to take it off to smooth it out better) is that part of depression or the ADHD? Or something else. I want to stop.

the dentist gave me a teeth guard type thing for like my upper teeth, its a mouth piece type thing but just for the top ones, to put on so my top teeth dont grind against my bottom teeth, becuz he said i am wasting away my teeth, so this thing prevents it, but anyway, my question is is their a bowl type thing, or a combo of things i can buy, so i can just dip the piece in every single morning and leave it there rinsing till i put it on again in the night??? some kinda rinsing/cleaning system to keep it from getting bacteria n stuff?

thanks in advance

I've been on many different antidepressants for the past 3-4 years for major depression and OCD. This is what happens with each one. For the first few months, I feel great. Then it stops working and I feel like **** again and have to go on another. This is ridiculous. Not even the most powerful medications can make me permanently feel better. My doctor suggested ECT if all else fails, but I fear the dreaded memory loss effects. Then again, most of my memories over the past 3 years are ones I wouldn't mind forgetting...What is your opinion of the situation? Should I just keep trying different medications over and over for the rest of my life (I don't see any end in sight to the depression), give up and do ECT and lose memories, or is there another alternative?

In the morning I have severe hyperarousal and usually end up screaming until I can force myself to focus. Then later when I finally feel awake hypoarousal starts. And it's like an endless cycle. My therapist says that unfortunately due to your severe PTSD this is the flip side of all that locked in trauma. Easy for him to say because he doesn't have to deal with it?

There's a lot of transition going on. The PTSD, finding a new job, being able to pay the rent, not having the new job yet to move to. I've been in EMDR treatment for almost three months now. So I know it's important to keep going with it. But also it would be nice to have some sense of balance too? Hope this hasn't been too graphic. Thanks.

..said that my parents must abide by the law that I be in a booster seat. I went in for a physical and stand 53'' tall and weigh 65 pounds and am very healthy.
Being that I am good and healthy and wouldn't get hurt, do I even need to be in a booster seat afterall? I will go tell my parents to throw it away because ALL my friends are out of one, and my 8 yr old friend is even out of one. Already! "come on!"

I'm just curious :) I've got a chronic illness, and I've noticed that when it gets bad it's hard to feel much - emotionally, I mean. I quit caring about boys and sex completely, but I also can't hold on to things like anger, and that's nice. I think maybe all I can still feel is low-level love for friends and family. A nice thing to be left with, I guess :]

Do any of you feeled "dulled" like this when you're in pain? Anyone up for sharing?

im always mad and when im not the littlest things can set me off. whenever someone makes me mad i flip out and become very verbally abusive and sometimes physically abusive to whoever is closet to me at the time. i flip out on my family and friends all the time and i end up threatening to kill them. im sick and tired of being angry all the time and not being able to enjoy things without wanting to stab someone in the throat. i dont have mental issues though its just i cant control my anger. is there any kind of help i can get?
