every time yahoo deletes one of my questions they send me a list of suicide hotlines cause the questions they delete usually have something to do with suicide. i don't think i'll call one anyway for a lot of reasons, but if i did, what do they actually say?

This is what was said... "I was just cleaning just one (clothing item)... in the bath tub and the mold got all over my feet. I cleaned my feet a couple of times it still there and I am getting allergy reaction right now. .... I cannot use a fan or air condition right now because I don’t want the molds flying all over the house again after the carpet is cleaned."

How does one help this situation?

I have recently been contacted online by a former classmate letting me know about the upcoming reunion. A lot of people on the website from high school have posted life updates (for the past 10 years) and people are excited, etc. I read a couple of updates about people that mattered a little. But I kind of could care less about going to the reunion. I mean, if I were your friend, or if I cared, I would have kept in touch with you. Wouldn't I? Why do we go to these things? And then what? You see each other, you meet the kids, you exchange #s, you dont' see each other again for another 10 years....?

because there is this girl on here who in the past 3 months has seriously asked at least 800 questions about her ex. she has at least three differant profiles so she can do so. now, this wouldnt bother me normally but she only dated this guy for a month! i am begining to think she needs actuall help from a person trained to do so, like a therapist or something. but is there a way to make her realize what she is doing is spam? i tried nicely a couple times to suggest that she might need help OUTSIDE of yahoo answers, and she deleted any questions i answerd as such. what can be done? a couple other people have realized that he is all she ever asks about, so i know im not the only one who has noticed this. it is really worrysome to me, and i would like to find a way to get her to realize she might need help beyond what we can offer here.

First, I'm not suicidal. I don't sit around thinking of taking my own life. Life is pretty good at the moment. But there is a part of me that feels that if someone, for example, told me I only have a month to live I would feel tremendous relief. I also sometimes get little twinges of chest pain that are probably nothing, but I almost hope that I'm having a heart attack. I sometimes feel like I would be better off dying before I lose the things and the people close to me- my parents, my husband, etc. Does anyone else ever feel this way? What can I do to make sense of all of this.

And I'm not a religious person so, please, no preaching.

Our kid is a good kid. She has always been a good kid.

She's 12 and lives with her Dad and me during the week - and Mom on most weekends & holidays.

I don't get along with her Mom very well. I try very hard - but there has been some friction lately - as our ideas about raising a kid are VERY different.

Today it became clear that she's been lying - a lot - about homework. I talked with her on the phone and said we would meet with her teacher - and she was very upset.

Later I called back to check in with her - and asked what was up - and she said that her thumb hurt. I asked why - and she told me she'd cut it with the scissors. I asked her what she was cutting - "Dad's birthday card" ? And she said - yes. But after I thought about it - that seemed unlikely.

She was sexually molested by her Mom's boyfriend for about a year from 8 - 9. She did a year of intense counseling - & has seemed to be doing ok.

Could this be cutting? How do we know - and what do we do?

I've never actually known twins, but whenever i see two of them together, i just start freaking out. and I have never been afraid of anything, not even death, but it's just something aobut twins that gets to me. It only happens when I see both of them together. I would get like help, but i'm so embarrased. how can i get rid of this phobia?

she is having absolutely no withdrawel symptoms except for the last 12 hours or so she has been seeing flying saucers and space creatures with tentacles, she is very detailed in her descriptions, but no other symptoms of DT's, otherwise she seems to be completely normal, she can hold a conversation, eat, cook, and right now she is working crossword puzzles. I have so far been agreeing with her to a certain extent, telling her that they will probably leave sometime tonight when it is dark and nobody can see them and they should be gone by morning. Is this the right thing to do? she will not go to the hospital and will absolutely not consider an in- treatment program as she has tried that in the past and hated it and it did no good because she would not do the follow up work. I think this time she is serious to kick this on her own with help from me and another friend. Are we doing the right thing? And one more bit of info. she has positively no access to alcohol until we allow it,.

How do you let your boyfriend, friends and family that they are helping you in your recovery of depression and anxiety? They worry that they are making things worse for me which is totally untrue. They are people that support me no matter what. I feel bad when they say "it's my fault" when it's not. Is there a way I can let them know that they are helpful and I benefit from their support?

i don't know what to do...well, i really love the school i go to now, it's private and really small, and it ends in about 2 months. i'm already preoccupied with when i'll have to leave, not when i'm actually there, usually, but when i'm home, whenever i'm bored...i wasted two years of it because i didn't appreciate it - i was moody and always picking fights and not having any fun and alienating peers, at least temporarily. now i can't stand to waste anything good, whether or not it has anything to do with that or school or anything. like today, we have these weeklong workshops this week, drama for me, we were aloud to just be practicing presenting funny stories but i had to spend the whole time in the office with a horrible stomachache because i forgot how much those metabolism enhancers hurt, and all i could think about was that i'm missing it. i'm starting fights with one of my friends and my mom says it's probably from separation anxiety...i've never had any trauma or anything

I have a history of SI and am having relapses every now and then. I want - and tried my utmost - to stop, but it is so hard. Whenever I feel stressed or tensioned, I just subconsciously go back to this coping mechanism.

How can I stop effectively? I've never had any treatments or received any professional help before. Do I really need a professional to help me through? Is it a necessity?

Also, I'm not legally an adult yet. Would they notify my parents if I really go for psychiatric/counselor visitations?
