okay so i am very obsessed with weighing myself and staying thin. so today i only ate half a bananna and some sugar free cereal and i was starving so my mom cooked some alfredo noodles and i couldn’t help myself so i ended up eating 4 small bowls. after that i felt guilty and threw up most of it up. is this considered binge eating?
My daughter found out 2 things about the man she was dating, that he was a heroin addict and after breaking up with him that her birth control had failed and that she was 16 months pregnant by him ( she had no symptoms and she has always had very irregular periods). Because of the advanced pregnancy and personal beliefs she has decided to keep the baby, however, she is now considering allowing this man to be involved in the baby’s life… I am very concerned because I do not believe it is a good choice in an already difficult situation. He recently relapsed and began shooting again. He also abuses prescription drugs and alcohol. Ironically, his mother is a substance abuse doctor and his dad is a preacher. Both of his parents insist that their son is a “good” man, and that he should be given the opportunity to redeem himself; although according to my daughter his parents are unaware that he has relapsed… she also believes that he only relapsed “once” and that he learned from that mistake and that he is once again clean. I am not inclined to believe that a person with his character is able to change. My daughter is only 19 years old, she believes that people change, she also believes that hard drugs speak more of childhood trauma than of character, I think that unfortunately and ultimately it becomes one and the same…Would you agree that such persons that abuse hard drugs can still be a good influence in a child’s life?
I meant to say 16 week pregnant… not months! Sorry.
I am straight as an arrow and I have been fighting hard to get full custody of my kids and get them away from their immature mother who doesn’t even have a job to support them, she just lives off child support. She told the courts I do drugs and that my girlfriend beats the kids, this is a complete lie! Now the social service woman is investigating me when they should be investigating her, she is such a liar and is trying to ruin my life. I just want my children away from her. What should I do?
My younger brother is 20. He has been in rehab twice for drug/alcohol problems. At one point he was taking 30+ Xanax ‘bars’ a day until we got him into a program and detoxed.
Every time he gets out of rehab, he eventually goes out and gets his ‘fix’ again and gets hooked.
He even moved 2,000 miles away for a while to live with my Mother in CA. He did not know a soul there and still managed to find dope.
I think the reason he has such a hard time giving everything up is because he also has antisocial personality disorder. He seems to have no regard for other people’s feelings. He is very impulsive and a terrific liar and con. He plays on our (his family’s) emotions because he knows we want him to get help and always want to believe he is getting better….and then he will steal from us right under our nose.
I have been reading about antisocial personality disorder and know that the treatment of the disorder must be done first. He needs real behavior modification therapy to improve decision making skills. He could also use a mood stabilizer to help manage anger issues.
I guess what I would like to know is….how do you talk to someone about this disorder who has such blatant disregard for other people’s rights/feelings and even his own well being? How do you talk to someone who is virtually impossible to communicate with? How do you talk to someone who only indulges in conversation when there is some hidden motive to get something he wants?
How do you make someone realize the need for therapy?
Hi, my mom is alcoholic! Last year when I was 11 we had to call the police on here. I cant remember a night were she has not gotten drunk. My dad pined her against the wall and shouted in her face. I don’t blame him. Because she said that he had cheated. Right know I am 12 and it is still going on I cant even invite my friends over to spend the night.
I have a friend who’s only 14 years old and shes already addicted to Meth, Cocaine, Oxycontin, and X among other things. I met her in August but we hit it off immediately and I feel as if we’ve been friends forever. I’m really starting to care about her but she is always depressed at school because of her addiction and sometimes because she takes downers in the morning. Since my friend started using drugs (when she was 11) her mom started drinking and being crazy strict. She once told me she had sex with some boy to get Meth I have never met a person who’s as caring and overall as beatiful as her so her situation makes me depressed and sad. Her parents made her go to rehab several times but nothing has helped. I feel that I can help her, I just don’t know how.
i really dont kno what to do anymore. see my mom has a drinking problem for about as long as i can remember. i recall alot of times when i was little when she would get mad at me for the stupidest things like not closing the door, not finishing my juice, entering the room, telling her i was sleepy, ect. i mean she would try to watch movies or listen to music and we would talk and make jokes. things would be ok. until the tequila, or wine would have an effect on her. then she would get mes at me or i would get mad at her for drinking and she would tell me to leave her alone. i would. but ever since about 3 years ago her drinking has gotten worse. she calls me a b*tch she starts cussing me out. and when shes sober i try to explain to her that what she is doing is wrong and that she needs help. she gets sad and then cries and says “im sorry…i do need help. i promise i will stop drinking” and she never does. when i know she has alcohol i come downstairs to check up on her or my 4 year old sister comes upstairs crying cuz she thinks moms dead. i come downstairs and shes knocked out cold on the table. and i have to take care of my sister.and then in the morning i cant go to school because my moms still knocked out and i cant leave my sister by herself. things have just gotten real bad i mean on thanksgiving my mom got drunk and we couldn’t go to my grandparents house for thanksgiving. so we stayed home. my mom kept going to bother me about the stupidest things like saying im tired or where is the f*ckin remote. stupid things like that i kept telling her to leave me alone that i was sleepy( it was 4:00 am) and she wouldn’t leave me alone so i locked my door and she got violent. she slammed and kicked the door and she started cussing at me tellin me b*tch open the motherf*ckin door before i get in there and beat the sh*tt outta you and she went to go get the hammer she started chopping at my door and broke the handle she was drunk and i didnt know what she was capable of i thought she might have killed me . i started crying and telling her to leave me alone to stop and she said “what u gunna do call the cops? call them im not scared of those motherf*ckers! call them!”and the police came came three times(the neighbors called) that night was one of the worst and this isnt the first time something like this happens. im angry and sad because there’s not a damn thing i can do about it. i dont know what to do anymore PLS HELPPPPP!!!!!!
P.S. im sorry it was long.
oh. and by the way im 13.
I have been fighting alcoholism my whole life. I am pregnant with our third and final child. I have been clean and sober for the past five months. Lately there has been insane pressure at home and I caved. My OB knows that I have this problem but I am so embaressed that everyone will think I am a peice of **** I’ve been afraid to scheadual an ultra sound. I had a nurse tell me that Ultra Sounds are only going to give me false confidence that I didn’t screw up our child becase she won’t look like anything is wrong. I’m considering rehab for 21 days, is rehab for people who just refuse to get it together? I’ve had people tell me that as well. Should I ignore them and go or should I “just grow up and knock it off” as my mother so bluntly puts it (who by the way is also a closet alcoholic) If I get involved in college and outside activities is it possibal to beat this with a good mental attitude? People are telling me a million different things.
