as preached at most of the meetings I go to, It seems all I need to do is follow the 12 steps and I will be in sync with the cosmos and will be living on a buddhist like spiritual highway

Hey -

My 16yr old sister spent 6 months in hospital with anorexia. She has been out for about 7mths now, however I am still very concerned about her. Sure she has gained weight, however, she is still very unhappy, and refuses to eat food unless she has prepared it herself. Everytime I'm with her, I never see her eat, she only ever drinks from a water bottle that she carries with her. I know that she is her own person, and one day she may realise the extent of the damage she is doing not only to herself, but also to her family who are very worried about her, however it really hurts me to see her suffering so much, yet not being able to do anything to help her, as she rejects all of my attempts to reach out to her. Is it because she's only 16 and very hormonal? I understand the grips an eating disorder has on ones mind, but to what lengths does one go to help someone they love?

I really need some help.
It’s the hard for me to admit that i need help.
But its time.
My life is becoming unbearable.
I’m losing all my friends and most of all my twin
I’m hurting people around me and it took my this long to notice it.
I have a lot of mood swings and I don’t know how to describe it but its like something triggers in my brain and I find myself yelling at people and its not like I mean too. It just happens. Everyone gets so mad but its not like I don’t feel bad after it happens.
I don’t ever tell anyone anything that im feeling.
I don’t like sharing my opinions or being the center of attention.
I like to be alone.
I don’t like loud people
Mostly because of my social anxiety.
I really don’t understand why people don’t understand anxiety.
They think I can just "get over it"
But its not that easy…
I hate going outside.
I don’t like when people look at me or talk to me.
I have panic attacks
When anyone try to talk to me my heart is beating rapidly
thinking about going to a public place make me very nervos
my hands sweat

I don't know if I'm Anorexic. I mean, I've been noticing that I can't stand eating even though I really want to, but that's the part that is really confusing me.
I don't know if I'm anorexic or not.
I rarely eat anything, I skip breakfast, I only eat as much as a slice of bread at school, and at dinner at home, I pick at my food while only eating just enought that would fill a baby bottle if it was turned into a liquid and compressed.
No one at school has thought that I'm anorexic, but I've noticed that about 2 months ago, I had been having headaches for several months and constant stomach pains.
I eat something, but I can't throw it up. I'm slightly selfconcious of my body shape (I.E. getting fat) but I am pretty skinny.
I just want eat, but my body won't let me.
If I eat as much as a mini butterfingers, I feel like I was going to puke, but never do. I can't make myself throw up.
Yes, I know I should see a doctor, but I soon am, but it won't be for a few days.
Someone help me!

I am a 19 year old female. The new semester at school just started and I'm miserable. The very thought of school just makes me anxious and unhappy. It's like, I'm there six hours a day fighting through crowds of people, feeling alone and awkward, just looking forward to going home. But I'm not coming home to anything. I am just really depressed and feeling hopeless. My father, my best friend in the whole world, died last summer. He was the only one who made the world hopeful to me. I am just sick of feeling so alone, judged, and unhappy. I went to a psychologist for a while, but he was too expensive. I don't believe in medication. So what do I do? How do I make it through the school day when my overwhelming instinct is to run home without stopping?! (I'm in college)

I've done therapy, I've been on every medication imaginable, and I've tried excercising and various hobbies, but I cant get anything to stick. I have episodes of happiness, but they never last.

Can anyone relate? What's helped you personally? I just need some ideas/tips on things to do to get me out of this depression fog.

I just feel low. I just want to sleep all the time, and I get physically sick whenever I do try to go out and do something productive. I've seen doctors, and I'm 'healthy' I just cant kick this stupid depression.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks for any support you can give me!

I have a friend, and he has been acting very strange the past few months. Sometimes he will just laugh to himself, and when I ask him what's funny he just says nothing. He just seems to laugh to himself alot and he is just acting very strange.

What could this mean? It doesn't seem normal to be, because it happens all the time, and I'm wondering if there is a problem?

Since meditation is partly used to quiet your mind, it seems that it could be of benefit to someone with obsessive compulsive disorder. Anyone know anything about this?

HELP! my cousin has been routing for me to fail. He thrives off of my misfortune. How do I deal?
I feel bad because I pulled out of Grad. school so he'll probably see me as a failure even though I pulled out because I decided It wasn't for me!!! He is always trying to put himself up at my expense. Thing is...he is a doctor and is 10 years older than me....so I just don't get this? He is so quick to judge and Label! He will put everyone down! Why can't he just be happy for me?
Now I'm doing something I love by the way!

my sister has been diagnosed with bi polar 2? I don't know what it's all about, I've never seen her "manic" but she sais she gets manic in different ways than a person with bi polar 1? I wonder if anyone could explain to me about bi polar disorder. I Love my sister and I don't want to see her hurting. She is supposed to be taking Zyprexa and also Effexor. Do you think thats necessary? is Bipolar something that can be treated with cognitive therapy or does it have to be with drugs? I'm just curious, I have nothing against them I just don't want her to have to take drugs for the rest of her life, if she doesnt have to.. if she does than no matter what I will support her. Another question is that she's trying to concieve, I think she'l be a wonderful mom, but I am wondering what will happen to her emotions during pregnancy? any info would be appreciated please. Thanks.

I was diagnosed 10 yrs ago with BP II and not taking meds on a regular basis because I actually enjoy getting into my mania stage. I am a writter and artist and when I am in my mania stages is when my best works of art come to the surface. I realized that I love getting the mania stage after my last hospitalization for the depression stage of it. I just want to know there are others out there who are doing the same. It is risky and I would not ever tell someone to stop taking there meds. When I hit my depression it is a huge drop and I hit my rock bottom. When I was taking my meds I couldn't write or do art like I used to the creativity factor was lacking. Now, one thing I don't like is the mood swings I still get almost daily when I am irratible at work and my co-workers realize it and I don't. They just look at me like I am an alien. I am in a mania now and have 1000 thoughts per second. Any coping skills anyone could also share with me?

I'm getting addicted to pro mia sites. My bulimia is worsening and I've told my CMHT nurse, but, she just says to tell my dietitician. Should I press for more specialised help as dietiticians aren't trained to deal with the mental health side of it? What should I do? I know I shouldn't go on the sites, but, I have to get more tips on how else to purge. Help please!!! Serious answers only please!!!

Like, writing a suicide note takes too much time. Really! Why bother writing one cause by the time it gets finished there won't be any time left for suicide! Besides, who cares anyway? Isn't it just a waste of time to have to explain the why's of suicide?
Its not like someone is going to go; Gee, I'm sorry I treated you badly. They are more likely to say the note was so full of errors it was more torture trying to decipher it than waiting for you to off yourself.
No body ever figures out why whales beach themselves and commit suicide. Maybe whales know more than we do about the why's of suicide?
