Last night, I got sick. Feels like Step Throat is imminent.

My health insurance doesn't begin until January 19, 2007.

I started taking vinegar and honey...read somewhere that it will kill bacteria.

Any other suggestions? I have to work tomorrow.

Hello,
My oldest child revealed to me yesterday he had thoughts of killing people at the school.
From some kids this might be just a threat. BUT my child has a history of mental health issues, and is currently in the state children's jail system.
Now that I look back at how long he has been in the jail system and what the judge has not let him out due to unsatisfactory mental health facilities here where we live, it all makes sense now.
Is this something I should tell someone about? He says he is not in that frame of mind now, since he has been in jail for a time over his mental health, it is not something he wanted to talk about but he opened the door, so he must of wanted me to know.

Is jail the place for this kid or is a mental hospital? Am I blowing this up out of proportion? Other parents what would you do?

I had this dream when I was 4 years old.

I was taken to my room and my mother turned out the light in the darkness.
I remember feeling as though something was nasty, evil and sinister behind me.
I saw this red light, and it was swirling like a storm cloud and I heard the sound of a heart beating.
I then saw viens runing up the walls.
I tried to break the windows, but they became unbreakable.
The door would not open or brake.
I was then sucked into a dark well and I ended up in the womb.
I was an undeveloped 8 week old feotus.
I was in my mother and I could hear her talking about having an abortion.
Then I heard a surgeon's drill going off and he siad "It is a good job your baby can't feel pain, as this is many times worse than being burnt to death.
I pinched myself and it hurt, then the drill started digging towards me.

Then I woke up and went down stairs.

Then I saw something..,,

It was a feotus!

I haven't been able to have a bowel movement in three days. Tried everything over the counter. Dizzy, nauseous, bloated (my stomach is as hard as a rock) I've tried fiber... EVERYTHING.

Nothing is working. Could this just be my body being weird or can something REAL be wrong? I'm having an anxiety attack.

This is my 3rd Christmas without my mother. She passed away alittle over 2 years. I seem to feel that I should be over my mother's death...but I am not. Right now I am spending Christmas just my father and I. He is very distant and hasn't been overly supportive with me. I guess he grieves in his own way.
I was talking to a dear friend of mine...who's like a big sister to me online this morning. I love her so much and I broke down in front of her. I started crying and became very emotional. I was alittle upset when this happen. She said to me"if you are going to cry I am not going to talk to you". I know she doesn't like to see me upset but I didn't like that comment. She has been very supportive to me. Should I be upset as her statement...would you?? Nobody seems to understand the loss of a mother. Should I say something to my friend? What would you do? Thanks

when i was younger i would get anxiety, at the time i didnt realise i was having anxiety attacks so i thought it was this wierd thing that happened from time to time when i felt funny. in lectures i started to get worried about my breathing and i felt like i would have to leave so i used to worry that there was something wrong with me and i would try to stop myself from thinking these thoughts in new situations and if they didnt come up id be pleased and thought ill be ok now if i dont think about it. well i started to get into a habit of blocking out all bad thoughts incase if i thought about it too much i might get it then & thinking they shouldnt be there if im out at a party etc. they arent related to what im doing and i realised that i wasnt listening to myself anymore by doing this and trying to keep myself focused on the situation. now im finding it very hard to let myself think about other stuff rather than what im doing and i want to just relax my mind and think automatically.

I know some people who can't focus on a subject or project because contacts or cataract vision has taken their attention away. I also know that if one cataract is removed and you try to see with both eyes you won't be able to stand up you'll be too dizzy because the eyes are seeing two different things. I also know that when you get glasses what you see is smaller than it really is, and I know that when you get cataract implants what you used to see will now be a little larger and there is an adjustment period you have to go thru. So if seeing is so important to communicating and thinking, shouldn't people with mental problems, or even with dementia or alzheimers, have their vision tested to see if the vision is what's causing the problem? What do you think?

I am five foot two and weigh 148 lbs. My waist is a 29.5 and hips are a 43. All the BMI calculaters and waist to hip ratios say i am healthy, but my recruiter says I am too fat to even take the arms test even though I can pass it. My BMI is a 27.1 according to online and hand done calculations and my waist to hip ratio is .67. My recruiter says my BMI is a 38. Is this possible? what can I do because I really want to join the military and this is the only thing stopping me.

I'm asking this because on a daily basis she has SEVERE mood swings. For example, yesterday night she called me and was all happy, and I mentioned about a trip she's on and she freaked out on me. She's always having these huge mood swings, then she wont let them go no matter what I do. These little tiffs last for hours on end! Its not just a recent thing, its always been like this, its getting to the point where I dont want to deal with this anymore... What are my options? How do I know if she is manic depressive or bipolar?! I always try to do the best for her, and love her with all of my heart, but these mood swings are just getting in the way, way too much.

Help?!?!

it seems like i always have to go to the bathroom! i don't drink a lot of fluids because if i do then it's even worse. i also try to cut out anything with caffeine or diet pops in general. it's really annoying that i always have to go. it's also a decent output of urine each time i go, not just a little bit. i don't understand how i can pee so much if i don't drink that much! i'm definitely not pregnant. and this has been going on for a long time. any ideas?
