My sister is 16 years old. About 3 months ago she attempted to commit suicide by taking an o/d of a various number of medications. Prior to that my mother said she had had been cutting herself.

She gave no reason why she tried to kill herself, we couldn't find one.

Two nights ago she was home with my Dad (on Fathers Day) when she stormed out of the house saying that she hated him. She wouldn't tell anyone where she was going or where she was. Tehre were going to be about 10 of us getting together for Fathers Day dinner which didn't happen because everyone was way to concerned that she wasn't hurting herself again.

When she finally came home she talked with me. Basically I told her what she had caused and that it was completely unacceptable to put that many people through so much worry. During the whole talk (me talking, her listening) she was just grinning and seemed to be happy about it all.

Any suggestions about what family and I can do to try and stop this from going on?

Ok so I have been getting nervous about school ever since i was in 3rd grade and I have always felt like I was going to be sick. I am 13 years-old and I just started 8th grade, in a new school, and it just seems to get worse, and i dont even eat a thing at lunch. I told my parents about this when i was in 5th grade but they always just tell me that im nervous about school, but the thing is im not nervous just about school,i feel this way whenever i go somewhere where i havent been in awhile, like the dentist. At school, the feeling disappears at the end of the school day, but it will just return again the next time i go to school. I sometimes become so nervous that my palms start to sweat and I really feel like I am going to be sick, but I have never got sick in school yet. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with me, because this feeling has become such an annoyance in my life.

I am hoping someone has had a similar experience and can let me know this is normal........
I have always had VERY predictable periods. Always on time, I could guess the date within 2-3 days. Always last the same time, always the same type of cramping and ALWAYS the same flow.
Until now. I am now 32 and I just started my period almost a week early. That has NEVER happened. And usually my period is light the first day, then the next 2 days heavy then day 4 is very light until the end of day 4. Then I cramp really bad and bleed heavy for about an hour and my period is pretty much done after that. Just spotting for day 5. Well this time it was light day one. Then day 2 it became VERY VERY heavy. Way heavier than normal and has been heavy and a lot of cramping ever since. Also I am going on day 5 of constant heavy bleeding and cramping. and no sign of an end. This hasn't happened to me EVER. Any ideas? Anyone have this happen before? Maybe because I am getting older?

Since the middle of last year, I have been obsessed with my weight...it started off just hating myself, wishing I could be thinner but having no self-control to do so. Then I got motivated and lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. After that, I haven't been weighed so I don't know what I weigh now - we don't even own a scale! I have been on and off several diets since, somne going as low as 500-650 calories a day. It's like I am constantly thinking about food and if I am not on a diet I feel horrible about myself and think I am very fat. I have a healthy weight - 125 and 5 foot 6 - but I hate the way I look and always want to weigh less. Eventually I would like to be 110 pounds...this isn't unhealthy either, though. I have taken tests on the internet andthey say I have (quote quote) anorexic tendencies...but how do I say these tests aren't full of crap?

Ok. I have been trying to lose weight and I haven't been eating enough food lately. I decided that I am going to eat more(1200-1400) calories a day. And I have been eating less than 1000. If I eat the right way will I gain weight?

Saturday night I stepped on a piece of broken glass and cut the inside of my big toe pretty badly.
The cut is thin, but its deep and is a little over a half an inch long. After I got home from the incident I soaked my foot in warm water, cleaned it out and wrapped it up. All day Sunday I was limping because the pain was so bad.
Today I haven't been limping as badly, and the pain is far less. However, there is a bruise next to the cut, and I'm experiencing some numbness in the toes next to my big toe. I'm hoping thats just because I've been putting more weight on the right side of my foot so that I don't apply a lot of pressure to my big toe.
I've been keeping triple anti-biotic ointment on the cut, and have been wrapping it with gauze. At night I take the gauze off, and just apply the ointment.
Should I go see a doctor because of the bruising and numbness? Also I've noticed that there has been a little bit of blood on the gauze when I take it off.

I do not need to be cured, some of us like the way we are. But at times I wish I could live in my own world, with my rules. Why should I be made to live like the norm, if really not best for me. To be honest normal can really bore me at times, but I’m expected to put up with it, act in a allien way and made to fit in, with a false sad smile on my face. Pretend, pretend and maybe your wrong and I’m right, who truly knows!

i hate my period so much.. I get cramps at four in the morning and they last one hour each. They hurt so much. It feels like some one is stabbing me nonstop, i would even jump off a building to make it stop. Thats how painful it is. I HATE IT. it makes me so unhappy to be a girl. Its not fair. Gils have to go throught with puberty, periods, birth, while men only have to deal with the pubic hair and the growing. Thats it. Why do women have to go through more pain. men always say they know what its like but they dont, we have to go throught more pain then they do. All that plus u feel icky and slimey and for the first three or four days its a havy flow and i just have to keep on changing and u get those crappy mood swings. Theres really no question, but what are we getting from this. Why cant we just get our periods when we have babies.

So I woke up with a sore throat a couple of days ago which I thought was just from stress. Last night I started coughing and had a runny nose...I slept horribly because of the coughing. Today I've been blowing my nose constantly and absolutely cannot stop coughing...it feels like it is in my chest. I took robitussin dm and it hasn't helped at all. I don't think I have a fever though. Is there anything else I can/should do? I have class and lab tomorrow. :( Thanks!!!

okay, so, i stayed home from school last week because of my coughing and sneezing (bad enough to make me through up)

this weekend I haven't been coughing or sneezing much but my stomach has been acting really weird.
like, i'm always feeling too full/bloated.

it's sort of hard to talk. & when I can manage to open my mouth, I can hardly hear anything.

Also, even though there's nothing wrong with my nose, my body won't let me breath through it so I can only breathe through my mouth.

What's wrong?
Or is anything wrong?
