My grandmother has recently retired, and since she has suffered congestive heart failure about a month ago, and this month she is in the hospital because she is hypoglycemic.
What can I do, What can me and my family do, she seems unable to adjust from being the family care giver to a recipient of care.
I love my grandmother so I need real advice only.

why do some people put down people, insult them, and do whatever they can to humiliate them? it does nothing to benefit them, nothing to benefit anyone they know, and it obviously doesnt do anything to make them look more mature. my question is why people insist on being rude instead of simply pointing out imperfections (the ones that matter i mean)?

I just dont understand how so many people seem to just be so carefree and "laid back" about everything.

I dont see how people can be so light-hearted and just seem to not really care really that much about each other, even though they proclaim they do, it seems very much just on the surface. not going into too much depth ,not minding too much if one goes one way and they never hear from each other again. just "lol" and just not seeming to be on a very deep level in a relationship.

I seem to have a problem of coming onto strongly and very , I guess many would refer to it as "clingy" when i try to enter into a relationship. I get very attached, and obsessed about people I decide to get interested in , and i think about them constantly. and i get to where i think i am just really feeling left out, because i have obviously skipped a quite a few steps ahead of them and it seems to be scaring most , if not all of them away.

Why am i like this you think? (Honestly)

I'm a fifteen year old girl and I've been homeschooled for almost four years. I spend all day on my laptop and I hate going out. I don't have a lot of self confidence because of my looks. I also feel nervous and have small anxiety attacks from time to time, even when I go over to my father's for the weekend(parents are divorced.) My mom hasn't kept up my schoolwork and I'm scared about my future. I don't know what to do or how to get over my depression. Oh, before you suggest anything related to faith that could help me, you should know that I'm Pagan.

Lately, Ive been feeling as if im missing something in my life. Im 13, and im soon to be going on a vision quest. I have plenty of love, as all of my friends are of the opposite sex. But there is one particular girl, my BEST friend, that I really like, massively love. And last night at a party, I found out that shes been cutting herself. Right in the middle of the party, I cried. She was not there. And since then, and evven a little before yesterday, Ive just been feeling like I need something in my life that I dont have.
Help?

I don't go to the gym to be healthy, I do it so my boyfriend will be more attracted to me.

I like to carry books around with my sorority's letters on to look intelligent and social.

I put a hot outfit on and will become obsessed with knowing who is checking me out.

I feel a need to tell others about my achievements (job offerings, high mark, a role in a play, a raise)

Why am I so obsessed with what others think of me and getting their approval?

I know I have a problem, please don't be mean.

When I searched places on Google Earth or any other aerial photos, I felt really uncomfortable and I had to move away from the computer while it was locating the place I wanted to find. I know it is weird but, I want to know why I fell this way.

I am thinking about begining a career in child psychology. What is child psycholgy really? I like to help people, and I love children. Does this mean that you can become a guidance counselar for school? What is the atmosphere of the job? What are the common ours to work? Does anyone have this as a career? It would be worth it to see a child or teen battling his/her problems. Any other information you can give me would be great. Thanks!!!!!!

Well i'm really confused. I've seen a couple of things myself and was convinced.. but after conversating with a couple of people. ..They made me question if its all in the mind. They told me that the things we see and perceive to be as ghosts are just figments of our imaginations. Dark rooms or just a feeling that something is there(a strong belief) can make us see things.. or push us to make things up in our minds that truly appear to be ghosts or spirits before our eyes. But if that is so why did i see things when i didn't expecet to and the last thought on my mind was running into a paranormal experience?

I do not know where it stemmed from.

My heart starts beating really fast when someone next to me says 'I am going to be sick or I feel sick'

If I feel sick, my hands start sweating, its just horrible!

Anyone else like this?

this, someday, would be my dream. I hate depending on other people. It makes me look weak. that's the best way i can put it. I mean, i'm 20 yrs. old, i've got to start taking care of myself. I want to think less of what my friends want me to do and focus on what I want to do. what i want. not my friends. I still find myself "clinging" to my friends though and believing in what they believe instead of going with my own nature. how do i stop this s**t and just be independent? when i become a follower, I tend to feel like a piece of dirt, just going along for the ride. and the the most important thing is I'm not enjoying myself. i hate these feelings.

I have been anorexic for about three years and until now I was strictly the restricting type. However, recently I've started purging after meals (I KNOW it's bad for me, please don't lecture me) although I never binge. Would I be considered bulimic now? Or am I still anorexic with bulimic tendencies?? Help!!
