I do not want to attend meeting with 1 week or a few days sober people because I am weak. I pulled myself out and never looked back. I have questions, I watch intervention and I envy them because they are high...I think one more time...no my kids, my family, my life...but I want to get high. Where can I go?

I've had social anxiety all my life and depression since I was 13 and I've self harmed for many years. I've never been on the dating scene or even remotely interested in sex due to my illness. Now I'm 21, no longer depressed, and am trying to build a life for myself but for things like dating or relationships I don't know where to start - I've never had any experience so feel at a major disadvantage to everyone else. I'm not looking for 'the one' but a trusting caring sexual relationship is something I desire.

Signs of my past are inescapable due my arms and legs being covered in really obvious scars so from the start in any potentially sexual relationship I don't have the option to lie or omit details of the past. It's bringing down my self esteem.

Any one have positive words of advice about dating and self harm scars/a long history of mental illness?

I can't stand my father. He verbally abused me when I was a little girl, and it's so hard for me to have respect for him. I do treat him with respect, but I have so much contempt inside. And I think all my life I've been living with so much hatred for him, which transfered to every aspect of my life. In turn, I now hate myself for the things I am incapable of doing. I hate a lot of things about my life. How do I heal myself from this? Or, where do I even start?

Someone that was mis-diagnosed as having anxiety disorder has been found to have a rhythm disturbance.
They get a worse disturbance when they are hunger, for some reason.

They live in care because they have a disability, so the staff believe that this is just them using this illness as an excuse not get out doing work, but doing things like housework is making thier symptoms worse.
They are expected to do these things, because this is a semi-independance living set up.
They have no closer on whether they have arrythmias or not, and the staff expect them to do tasks or social services will send them to a less dependant placement.

They have a dental appiontment, and if the heart problem is not found, they are preparing to go under general aneasthetic.
Since the aneasthetic effects the heart rythm, they will die.

Since they have done everything they could, they decided to allow this to happen as a form of suicide.
They know that there is nothing else that they can do.

and it has entries about past sexual experiences. I can't stand that it's hanging around the house anymore. I know I'm being selfish, petty, etc., but I really can't stand the fact that it's here. There's nothing I can do about it, is there?

Hi. does anyone have any experience with generic? When I went to the pharmacy for my refill, I was told that only a new generic is available. I usually use brand name Stillnox (Ambien in the US) 10 mg pills. I'm unable to get in touch with my doctor at the moment. I'm sure it must be the same chemical makeup, but am a little concerned. Anybody have this stuff yet?
Thanks!

My grandfather was recently diagnosed as being in the early stages of dementia. He is 84. He's never been forgetful, and always got on well for his age, so I was shocked when I heard this. I was just wondering does dementia always lead to alzheimers? Because if that's the case, then I guess that means this is the beginning of a big change in him.... Also, can the progression of this be slowed down or stopped?

If "heaven" is suppose to be so great, wouldn't it make sense to just commit suicide before you get old enough to commit any sins?

I personally believe that the "concept" of heaven and hell are a matter of mind and a state of being, not a physical place one goes to after death. I could be wrong, but until that time, I'm already in heaven.

My daughter was six months old when they found excess water in her brain and still the same at 1 year. She developed slow but no one could find a cause. In kindergarten after fighting family, school and doctors, we were referred to a neurologist and he diagnosed epilepsy. Absent seizures up to 50 a day. He said it did not cause her developmental delay, speech problems, or learning disabilities. She is now 8 years old and over the last couple of years things have gotten worse. She has become very violent and has begun to hurt herself and others. I fear the safety of my other three children. She has been treated for bipolar disorder for the last year with Abilify and her dose increased from 5mg to 20 mg in two months with no noticable improvement. She is now on another mood stabilizer and no improvement if not worse. Yesterday she threw in choking herself. The problem is no one believes me not the school or the doctors. My family have became supportive over the past year.

My Dr. put me on 5mg of Lexapro. I know this is a very small dose, but I am still leary of taking any anti depressant. Does the positive effects of this drug outweigh the negative? Also, will marijuana affect what the drug is supposed to do? I only smoke a little before I go to bed to help me fall asleep. Please don't tell me that drugs are bad or give a lecture, I already know.

Is Avoidance personality disorder really a disorder ?is it really bad and if yes why?
I don't really want people around me all the time, especially if they don't add positiveness to my life and maybe I am my own worst critic but that just makes me try do better.I like being alone most of the time and I don't like stress if it can be avoided ....isn't people with this "disorder" just normal...?
