I have had nuerological surgery on my c3 and c4 fussion 3 years ago and a lower disc out. Is this something seperate or related.. Whenever I go out in the cold I get muscle spasms in my legs and sometimes it bothers my shoulder and neck till I tense up and get a migrane for a few minutes. I go to the pain management doctor this week.

When I write papers or emails I find myself writting things like, "i going to store" or " i feeling blue" ect. ect instead of," I was going to the store" or "I am feeling blue", however when I am done writting I think I wrote complete sentences, and I seem to always see the mistake after the fact, Why is this? Is my wires in the noggen not firing right?

I have a realative who just got out of prision (long term) and she was a meth addict. She is on parole and she is also taking drug tests but she said they trust her to just go in a room and pee in a cup on her own. She has lost a pants size in a month without dieting. She claims it is because of her job and not eating but everytime i see her she is eating and its really fattening food. So I guess I am skeptical if she is really not using again. She is going to NA and the first few weeks she claimed that people show up there HIGH.. when I asked her last night about that she denies anyone uses that is there and that also caused an alarm because now she is contradicting what she said when she first got out. How do i know if she is using? and how would she be passing UA's if she is?

She is the type of person who would convince herself she can control it and use smaller amounts which we all know where that leads. I just am skeptical

I heard that the only way a squirrel could get rabies, is if it got attacked by a dog with rabies. And since the chances of a squirrel surviving such an attack are small, then there is almost no chance of getting rabies from a squirrel. I forgot where I read this, but is it true? Do you know of any sources to back up this claim or anyother claim related to this topic?

This little girl on my block (9 years old) was born with a vein missing in her heart. she has to have surgeries often because of it. Its really bad and she can never get rid of it. I just want to know whats the oldest age she can live with this condition until she passes? Will she eventually have to have an emergency heart surgery?

After years of repressing all this anger and tension in my mind, it seems that lately..it's coming out. I've been distancing myself from everyone completely and giving people the cold shoulders if they had to do anything in raising my anger level. I'm yelling at my family and blaming them for everything they have done.

I've been good at not making sure no one gets physically hurt knowing there would be consequences later on. But I know I'm going to violently beat someone up if I can't control my anger. But I'm just ready to hurt someone, even myself, at times and I'm getting closer and closer.

I really have no one I could talk to or trust in the real world and I really don't know what I am going to do anymore then just explode.

Just wondering on how other people control their anger. Because I know other than that it's going to be the same answers.

My husband showers maybe once a week if that. Sometimes he'll go 2-3 weeks without showering. He brushes his teeth on about the same schedule. He'll use deodorant every now and then, but generally he is smelly & very dirty. He also lets his facial hair go, wears the same clothes for days at a time, etc. He is extremely attractive (girls still flirt with him even though he's dirty and smelly!!!) but he's gross. Not to sound conceited, but I am pretty attractive as well and always try to look nice for him - hair, clothes, makeup, perfume, etc. so it upsets me that he cares so little about his health & appearance. I've tried talking to him nicely, getting angry, offering to shower with him, withholding sex, complimenting him when he cleans up, etc. NOTHING works. He gets filthy at his job and he ruins sheets, pillows, etc. The smell is so bad that I can't stand to be near him, let alone sleep in the bed or be intimate. It's ruining our marriage and I don't know what else to do!

I'm aware that everyone is different and that the outcome can go from mild to severe.

If you have exhausted all your options and the depression has taken a turn towards the worst, would you do it. ECT, in many cases, is a longer treatment than most people think. Because the depression can come back (most do), patients need to do maintenance ECT every few weeks or monthly. When agreeing to this, the committment can range between 3 to 6 months of treatments.

I was in this situation just a few weeks ago and my doctor decided not to do ECT due to my health and concerns over my body being able to make it through the process. For me, agreeing to ECT was very difficult.

Ok I'm a sophmore in high school and I personally see myself as smart, kind, and funny but I feel like I rub people the wrong way :/ Like when meeting people I'm either really crazy and wild so they either see me as fun and cool or really dumb which REALLY bothers me. On the other hand I can clam up around people and they see me as too quiet, boring, and once again dumb which also bothers me. It's so weird and frustrating!!! I've wondered if I have duel personalities, what do you think and how can I help it?!


Or is it all in my head? :/

Hi guys-

I posted on here a couple days ago.. I had a miscarriage a month ago at 7 weeks. The week and a half before it I was in and out of the hospital because of complications so the last 6 weeks have been very hectic and it seems more like years.. for some reason the last week I have been getting just very depressed, more than I did the first few weeks. Each day it seems to get worse.. I have been trying to help others on this board because it's the only time I generally an ounce of 'okay'. Sometimes though, while reading news of someones good news I get that lump in throat want to cry feeling :( (But I am still happy for all of you regardless!)
Sorry to babble- my question was.. because I can't afford therapy, I was wondering if anyone had any good online support groups or websites I could look at or share my story.. etc etc.. I'd really appreciate it.
