Mental Health - August 2006

She blows up at family members over trivial matters, she seems to have her own version of reality these days. She can't hold a job for more than a year & relocates frequently, has very few friends and now is busily alienating family too. It's obvious she's off her meds but no one dares ask for fear of another of her tirades. She's irrational and hypersensitive, but accuses others of that. She needs help but feels everyone else in the extended family is toxic and that we should just leave her alone. How can we get through to her? She's already attempted suicide 3 times, but denies 2 of those attempts. At this point it seems another attempt is very possible.
What would it take to force her to get help?

Two of my sisters came forward about an adult cousin molesting them and I was just wondering if it was possible for me to have blocked it out of memory if it happened to me. If it did happen to me I honestly dont remember it. We are all over age now but when it was done they were minors and I would have been a minor as well. We are 22, 20, and 18. I would like serious answers only please because the second I get a rude or smartass one I am reporting the person.

Help me; now what should i do? my Doc's nurse told me to cut down my 325 mg. of aspirin DAILY - down to 81 mg. for one week before my Colonscopy, scheduled for tomorrow morning. But they did not tell me to stop taking Ibuprofen that i take for rheumatoid arthritis! I will explain THIS to my Doc or the hopital staff -In the Morning. I am concerned. I just read on Internet that we are supposed to quit taking aspirin OR ibuprofen - one week (i think it stated) before our Colonscopy. WHY DIDN'T they tell me to stop the Ibuprophen and Why did they say to take 81 mg's of apirin Daily. I am worried now. my Dr. told me that if he found Polyps that he will remove them, during the Colonscopy. Also i just read that with polypy removal OR bi-opsy (both i think it stated) - that we should not take any aspirin OR ibuprfen for One wk. or more ?
following that! Any comments! What would you do? post-pone the Colonscopy OR not allow removal of any polyps , etc. ?

It may sound like a stupid question, but I bet all of you have had moments where you wanted to just go on vacation all the time and forget about schooling. Sure, most people need money, which they obtain by going to school and then getting a job, but what if money wasn't an issue? What motivates you to work hard all the time if you don't know where it's going to lead you?

Level 1

Is having slightly a hint of green veins poping out normal?

I started lifting weights about a year and a half ago and more veins started to pop out which is to my liking however, i noticed with most bodybuilders, even in their off season ( not tanned) their veins are the same color as their skin, while i have my vein color which is slightly green pop out, is this normal? What is the cause for the color of the vein to comeout is it that the skin layer is thin therefore the natural color of the vein comes out? Other factors? Just an observation/ question not really a problem but i could use some sensible answers thanks.

I have been active sexually with men and I feel bad afterwards because I was with them. I then get paranoid about it and think that I did something with them although I didn't (sometimes I have and I got tested for HIV and it comes back negative). I look for symptoms all the time and 9 times out of 10 they are from other things. How do you get over this paranoia and live a normal life?

I cut myself and I'm afraid to tell my parents. What if they don't accept me? My sister told my parnts she wanted to kill herself and put her in a crazy house. I really don't want to go there and I don't to hurt myself anymore. I'm so scared that they'll hate me or disown me. What I'm going to do? I'm afraid if I cut myself one more time, I might bleed to death.

In this generation and the last, to me, being "bi-polar" is just an excuse for not dealing with your problems from the past.

I would appreciate any info about what drama and challenges a person must be ready to deal with if they are in a relationship with someone who was sexually abused as a child From what few details I've heard so far, having a relationship with a abuse victim is a difficult situation to be in. It would be especially helpful to hear from people with first hand experience being in such a relationship.

If the relationship is over, how were you able to finally decide to end the relationship?

I just want to know if anyone else has this phobia? I'm ok if they are in the mouth, are clean and not being touched in any way. If I see, hear about or even think about teeth that are doing something odd in anyway I feel cold and clammy, sick, dizzy, trembly and short of breath and my heart starts beating quickly. I've looked on the internet and can only find ordontaphobia-fear of dentists. Although I do have extreme fear of dentist too.Does someone else fear teeth or am I going mad?

Also, any idea how to fix this? I can't afford private therapy or hypnotherapy so it would have to be a book or something cheap like it.

This is a serious question and I ask you to be sensitive in your answers, please don't mention teeth! I feel sick enough just typing this. Many thanks.

You know, they say that blue colors such as those in a room are said to be "calming". Is it the reaction of the brain or is it just a theory we are led to believe?
