She cut me out of her life because I disagreed with something that she did to another family member. Keep in mind that my sister is a paranoid, antisocial personality disorder.

He was living alone for about 2 years. Then he had an "episode" He is in prison for a year for assault. He was diagnosed AFTER this happened. He hallucinates, imagines he can train to be an astronaut, or that Walmart is watching him. When he is on meds, he is fairly lucid but defends his ideas, anyway..
He can't afford to take his meds unless he is getting them free.
In prison or in custody he takes them. Otherwise, he forgets or starts feeling better,etc.
I have suggested he get on disability and he just shrugs.
He is 21, so we can't force him to do anything.
How can we help him? He will be getting out in July of next year, and we want to know what to do.
He won't leave Florida, since he loves the beach.
His dad remarried and moved to Arkansas.
I moved to OK about a year before he got in trouble.
His girlfriend lives in Florida.
Any ideas? Please be kind, since this is very painful to all of us who love him.

I've often heard that "counting sheep" is supposed to help people fall asleep, but I was wondering if that was true.

I am 26 years old and I have never lost till now a loved one. My grandfather died when I was 8, and he died in the same room where I was. When I woke up in the morning, my grandma had already covered him with a white sheet. I was a child then and I didn't undersand much...but now I know that it affected me a lot, and affected my whole life. 3 years ago my grandmother died,but we weren't close. However seeing her in the coffin kept haunting me for a year. I thought I had become mad. Since then other I've lost other 2 uncles, not so close neither of them to me. Everybody else went to see them before closing the coffin. I couldn't. It made me phisically sick just the thought of seeing a dead person.
I don't know what the problem is with me...if there is anyone who can give me an idea of how to get over my panic, I would appreciate!
Thanks!

I really need your help to make an extremely important decision in my life. I have been bipolar for 7 years. I went from doctor to doctor, from medicine to medicine, nothing worked. I lost all my jobs and I had real bad depression phases, suicidal behavior and other scarry things I cannot put up with anymore. Luckily, I started taking Lithium last year and things got so well, now I feel good in my mind and life. Unfortunately, I feel like hell in my body. I started having acne, my hair was falling out, my weight was climbing up and I have aches all over all the time. I know lithium has many side effects and newer meds are available, but I can't afford these. So I need to know from those living on Lithium and those who have experienced it, what is your best advise? Should I drop it? Should I stick to it, hoping that it will all get better someday? How do I live with so much change in my physical health?Is there something I can do to alleviate the weight gain and acne and hair loss...?

I am a smart girl and I have really tried to make my relationship work. I love my bf with all my heart and I would do anything for him but he is depressed and most of our problems stem from that. For example, when his depression gets worse he becomes very impulsive (a common symptom) and he does things that are totally out of character and feel like I cant trust him anymore.
Is it possible to make a relationship work with someone in a deep depression?
Will he ever get better or is this something that he will always have?
He doesn't have the motivation to get better, so should I give up on him??

The reason this sucks is bc deep down I really love him and I want to make it work. I just don't know if its possible.

After moving away for 4 years, I recently moved back close to my hometown. While I was away, I gained 70 pounds. When we (my fiancee and I) lived in the other town (1 1/2 hours away from my home town) I was completely confident, now, since moving back I can't regain that because I'm around people now that I was around before gaining the weight. Help me please, I'm trying to eat right and exercise but I never find the time...

My mother had some serious anger issues. In place of hugs and quality time together she would show love by buying me all kinds of wonderful toys, especiallly dolls and stuffed animals which I came to love as I would her. Every child needs something to love back, if not their parent. Then she would get angry at me and overreact as a result of her own life choices and she would throw things, breaking them on our walls and putting rips in them with her shoes.
Now as a result I am debilitatingly materialistic. I cannot stand to see anything destroyed or damaged, even thrown away. I can't get over it. New things make me happy and seeing my things get systematically destroyed by my roommates makes me cry.
Please, I beg everyone who reads this, do not ever disregard a child's impressionable mind!
As you can see, I know the problem, and the cause of the problem, but now for many years I have been living without a solution. It affects my life so much, I will do anything to get over it

Help me please!
I've fallen in love on-line very strongly and he told me he liked me very much as well. And then as I loved him so much I told him I will do my best to come to him to his country to continue my studies. He got afraid of this and little by little stopped talking to me. I stuggled very long and hard and then as I've missed their accent etc I decided to write to another guy from that country just to know each other. We started talking and he appeared to like me very much. At first I didn't like him that much because I still liked the first one but then little by little I started to like him very much too!!! Not so much as the first one but anyway a lot! And when I started to like him more and started to want to chat with him everyday a lot he has told me the same thing as the first one:"Don't get so addicted to me. We live so far. Maybe one day... We'll see... But now let's just enjoy chatting." Believe me that's exactly what the first one has told me too!!! What will you advise me to do and to think and how to behave? Am I dependent? And what can I do with this? I've never seen any books on this and I don't think there are good specialists where I live so I can't go to a doctor.
But really what can I do to become less dependent? As long as I remember myself the more I liked a guy the more dependent on him I was and the more I liked a guy the quicklier he ran away! I could only stay for a long time with those on who I wasn't so crazy... But I always thought that if they love me they want the same to be with me all the time.
Thank you very much!

Okay, so I'm trying to turn my life around. I kicked my narcissistic boyfriend to the curb, kicking my cigarettes to the curb and now I want to see if I can train for and complete a marathon. It would be for a good cause and something good for me. Does anybody have any source or suggestions as to where to go about finding one to join? I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. Thanks.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia at six years old and was put into special classes for three years. I'm now 27 (almost 28) and a college student. I love to read, solve math equations, and able to take notes. I even take notes for a couple disabled students in my courses. I was talking to the girl I take notes for in my geology course and it turns out the reason she cannot take her own notes is that she's dyslexic. I'm just curious about how this can be. Is it because I had special classes to help me adapt to my condition whereas she didn't? I guess I just don't know a lot about it since it never really effects my life, well besides occasionally misspellings and wrong word choices. Can someone shed some light on this for me?
