Mental Health - July 2006

A dear friend seems okay most of the time, but after getting license reinstated only one month ago and knowing the consequences, she has already been arrested for DUI. Is an intervention appropriate--if so, how?

I just found out last night that my little sister (age14) has been cutting her arms pretty badly. She doesn't know that I know though, I'm not sure how to approach her with this because I don't really see her much. I have been trying to get with her lately but it seems that she is always doing something else and i think now that she is just trying to avoid me seeing the cuts. Please if you have any advice let me know. thanx, the big sister.

bipolar and they are in their "down" stage.....when you tell them how important they are, how awesome they are and how much you truly car about them, do they REALLY "hear' you? My best friend - I've been trying to tell him (he's been sleeping for 3 days straight getting up just every so often) - he's been bad before but this is horrible. Are my words helping him? Iknow most will say he needs meds/doc, etc. but he won't go and I haven't the control over him (he's in his 30s). He mean so much to me and I'm soooo scared right now. I can't go to his home (family issues). I can only wait for him to call me as he won't answer his phone. He has called but short calls and that he doesn't care about anything but sleep. What WORDS will help him?? It's all I have when I can't get to him. DO THESE TRUE WORDS HELP AT ALL???

in many ways he is like a normal seven year old..with the exeption that he goes to special classes and he has low musle tone in his hands and feet that makes him a little clumsy.. he complaints that im too over protective because i dont let him do certain things, i have a nine year old and im raising my husband seven year old daughter.. if they want to go somewhere to play like a friends house i let them go but i wont let my little boy go.. he has trouble with his speach and im afraid he cant keep up with the others or that they might get too rough with him...they have and the results of that was his arm was broken.. but he still tell me mommy im not a baby i dont need for you to watch me all the time.. its like he is slow but at the same time very aware of the situation.. i dont know how to treat him,im so over protective over him i cant help him but i realise that i have to let him spread his wings im just afraid he will brake.. need adivice.. thank you.

I sometimes get very angry and have very bad thoughts. I had these kind of thoughts and anger when i was a child but it seems to be surpressed when im in a serious relationship. But lately i have been single and i have these old feelings brewing. I know how to control this but it is sometimes scary to me the thoughts i have. Ive shared this with some close friends but i think it just scares them. I dont feel crazy and i function in society fine but its uncomfortable controling it sometimes..

I would rather walk over and check out all the toilets on both floors of the building I work with until I find a toilet that doesn't have any occupied adjacent cubicles.

It's quite uncomfortable to hear strange noises coming from the cubicle beside me.

I never use the urinal (john) either, and always flush both before AND after I do my business.

My question is: Who else does this? What do you think of it?

I have this stupid "crush fetish" as its been called. I like to see girls crush stuff with their feet. Ya, ya I know its weird, please only post helpful answers, not just "your weird." Anyway, like I'm totally attracted to normal stuff with girls like totally (****, ***, etc.) but I have this too and I always find myself going online trying to find girls doing this stuff. I can't stand it. Any helpful tips or success stories to dump this stupid fetish?

I have a really bad memory and my sister in law mentioned it to her counselor and she said it sounds like I may have a dissociation problem. I think I'm just really busy and tired with running my own business taking care of two small children and a home and husband.

I do have some trama from childhood but who doesn't? How do I know if I have dissociation? I zone out at times but I don't forget time or anything. I just forget details of conversations and people's names and forget appointments once in awhile.

Thanks
Christine

The Bible says - Jesus died, went to heaven and sent his Holy Spirit, He is invisible and is God and is here wanting a personal relationship with all of us, all we have to do is ask Him into our life, with a honest and sincere heart, if you then read the bible and keep praying, never giving up, Jesus, God, The Holy Spirit (all one) will reveal Himself to you and walk through life with you, guiding you and will lead you to the place He had planned for you in the first place, because it was He who created you with a purpose and a plan for your life,you weren't meant to be seperated from Him, doing it on your own. I've tried it and it works, God is in communication with me and leads me through everyday life, he is my comforter, my guide, he has healed me physically & emotionally, it is mindblowing, and all i did was invite Him, Jesus, in, by the power of His Holy Spirit, this is not religion, this is real spirituality, its not about rules it's about relationship with Jesus the living God

I live in a town where people can't mind their own business or leave anyone alone. Almost anytime I step outside the door someone makes a stupid comment or throws something at me.
Today I almost got in a fight but I knew if I hit the guy I wouldn't be able to stop so I walked away, while I was walking away about 15 of his friends kept shouting 'you useless woman' (I'm a man with long hair). I'm really afraid I'm going to kill someone or put someone in hospital because I can't take any more of people. I've had rage building up in me since I started school and I think it's all going to be let loose on the next person that harasses me. I really think I'm going mad. I suffer from depression and people are making it worse. Can anyone suggest something I can do to cope with life?
Serious answers please, this isn't a joke question .

Okay, I went out with this guy 2 years ago for 2 years, but I was a chort fuse, and made him sad all the time. I didn't realize I was, b/c of the meds I was on. I left him b/c I couldn't make him happy and he thinks I bashed his mailbox which I didn't, and drew obsenities on his car in class chalk. they were cartoons, I thought they were hilarious but he didn't see it that way. I took him to NYC after we broke up, and spent a total of $1000 on him. I even let him do me in the bum, which is my no-no zone. But he doesn't want to have anything to do with me, and I realized what I've done 2 years later and I want to at least be friends with him but he laughs at me behind my back. I can't go home from work without driving by his house, I would wait 2 hours in the rain just to see him walk from class to his car, just to see him. I've tried not doing it, but it's like going without a cigarette, I CAN'T!!! It drives me insane, I can't eat or sleep anymore, I'd be happy even if he yelled. help!
